Ghosted

Sero's uh... Well, Sero.

So far, I've slipped my way in.

Kacchan obviously loves me.

Kirishima's sort of tolerable, when I don't have to remind him not to touch Kacchan.

Kaminari's dumb, but in a good way, like, it's funny.

Sero's uh... Well, Sero.

Ashido's clingy. Not to Kacchan though, it seems she knows what's good for her.

Shinso's just been avoiding me.

Mr. Aizawa announces that the class will be doing rescue training.

With a card.

What's with the cards?

Whatever.

Mr. Aizawa reveals their costumes and says they're optional, but I'm pretty sure everyone's gonna wear them anyways.

I let Kacchan change in the locker room without watching him, at least not that he can see.

Kirishima's talking to him, and his hand touches Kacchan's back.

He's not even wearing a shirt!

How dare he!

I trace my finger down Kirishima's spine, leaving a trail of cold. He shivers and looks back in my direction, not seeing me because I'm not letting him.

I realize he's blushing, is he ticklish? I'm suddenly reminded of the joys of teasing people.

I'm tempted to get more feathers...

I resist the urge to tickle him, and wait outside the changing rooms, trusting Kirishima not to try anything after that warning.

Shinso comes out of the changing rooms first, and I let him see me.

"Holy shi-!" He yelps, hopping away.

"Hey, hey, Shinso. You've been avoiding me, even though I know you can see me now, and I have something I want to clear up." I take a step towards him and he steps back, eyeing me warily.

I sigh and don't go any closer. "Fair enough, I just wanted to say I'm sorry for saying what I did."

He relaxes a bit, and nods for me to go on.

"You see, I noticed that you were trying to use your power on Kacchan, and I knew that might hurt him, mentally. Plus, he likes big fights, so he let me fight you in his place so he could get it over with. Anyways, I was angry, and I knew about how people treat each other when they're different, so I used it against you. I'm sorry!" I bow in apology, looking up at him slightly to gauge his reaction.

Shinso seemed calmer now, and looked at me less like I was a threat and more like I was a mystery.

"Well, it was an effective battle tactic... but it could've gone wrong in a real villain situation." he said, clearing his throat and composing himself.

I stood up straight and beamed at him. "Great! So does that mean you forgive me?" I looked up at him with pleading eyes.

He looks away and scratches the back of his head. "Yeah, it's whatever." he holds out his hand. "I'm Shinso, you are?"

I take his hand and shake. "I know who you are, and I'm Deku! Nice to officially meet you."

He looks confused at first, but his expression evens out, and he doesn't ask what I mean.

"So do the teachers know about you?" He asks.

I think about it for a moment. It's possible. "Not that I know of. I usually don't purposefully reveal myself to people, they've either found out who I am, or they've seen me, so I have to tell them. I usually just slowly ease myself into the environment."

I hear Kirishima talking, and the door opens. He has his arm around Kacchan again.

I reveal myself to Kirishima as well, letting Shinso see too. I smile at him darkly and start radiating cold, "Kirishima, that mark I gave you just finished fading, would you like more? Possibly around your neck this time?" I let out a sinister giggle as I think of that.

Kirishima retracts his arm from Kacchan, and I let out a genuine smile. "Thanks!"

I reveal myself to Kacchan now, and glide over and hug him. "I missed you!"

He gives a grunt and continues walking, "Yeah whatever nerd, I was gone for like, five minutes. Now get off you're heavy."

I laugh at this, but don't let go. "How am I heavy? I'm dead."

I hear choking and coughing behind me, and look back. Shinso, Kirishima, and the rest of the squad had gathered and were walking behind us, and they all looked shocked.

Comment, I'm lonely.
