-Izuku's POV-

After catching up the class with what the emo squad knew, Kacchan returned and rejoined the circle around the board to ask the question that had been bugging him.
"Why didn't you tell me? That you were a ghost? It's almost been a year!"

I took a little to decide on my answer.
Why was I avoiding contact with him?
Was it because I didn't know how? Maybe, but that's not the full reason.
I settled on telling the truth.

'Scared'

"You... you were scared... of me?"
'That you lied'
"I... I wouldn't lie. Not on a day like that."

I smiled my invisible smile, Kacchan's own creeping onto his face.
That was all the proof I needed.

"You're still the same as always nerd."

"As always?" Shinso asked.
Todoroki answered.

"Deku has been haunting Bakugo for about a year, since his death. That's how he found me."

"You were talking to icy hot too!?" Kacchan yelled.

'Emo squad'

"Who the hell are the emo squad."

The squad didn't fess up. A good idea. But if he finds out, he'll be doubly as mad. You could already see him getting ready to chase Todoroki around the common room like he did with Kaminari just a few hours ago.

A cold hand through his arm stopped him.

"Jeez nerd, your touch really is cold. That's painful."

'No chase'

He thought about it, probably debating whether my cold touches were worth chasing him, and smartly decided that it wasn't.

"Hey... you can summon demons right? Tokoyami?" Mina asked. She was getting into this.
Tokoyami nodded.
"Well can we summon ghosts? Like actually see and maybe talk to him!?"

The emo squad and Kacchan visibly paled.
"That's... probably not a good idea." Kacchan said.
"Why?"
"Because his corpse is really bloody." Shinso said, shivering.
Kacchan's eyes flashed and I sighed. Shinso should've kept quiet.
He was going to pay for that later. An emo squad member recognised.

"We've seen blood before." Uraraka said, adding to the tight knit conversation.
"Not as much as Deku's, it's a ton of blood and apparently, it's unremovable."
"How much blood?"
"How bloody do you think a suicide victim would be? Just fallen from a three story building, landing on their head."

The entirety of the class paled at Kacchan's description.

"Not pretty."
"I still kinda want to meet him." Mina mumbled.

Tokoyami sighed.
"Alright, those of you who want to see Deku, come with me. Those who don't want to get trauma from seeing a bloody fourteen year old with white eyes, stay here."

White eyes? I didn't know that. Nobody told me! That's cool!

Tokoyami led about half of the class to his room.
The group consisted of the emo squad who had talked to me before, Kacchan who had seen my body when I died, Mina who was too curious, Kaminari who was dared to by Sero, Kirishima who was claiming that it was 'manly', Hagakure who was excited as Mina, and Tsu to help if someone couldn't deal with the sight.
