*Inside the room, Izuku is still standing shirtless, his hands trembling as he finishes wrapping a bandage around his waist. The silence of the house feels heavy, but suddenly, his ears twitch. He feels a presence. A cold, lingering soul right behind the wood of the door.*
Izuku : whispering to himself I know you're there, Michael. You’re not as quiet as you think.
*On the other side of the door, Michael is leaning against the wall, his arms crossed. He had made sure to make noise with his footsteps earlier to pretend he was leaving, but he stayed. He is determined to find out what this "new brother" is hiding.*
Michael : *thinking* There’s no way a "hero student" has that kind of aura. He smells like a graveyard and broken circuits.
Izuku : *aloud, without moving* You can stay there all night if you want, but you won't see anything.
*Michael freezes. He didn't expect Izuku to detect him so easily. He pushes himself off the wall and speaks through the door, his voice dripping with sarcasm.*
Michael : Sharp ears. I guess the fox isn't just for show, then?
Izuku : *sighs, quickly putting his shirt back on to hide the bandages* Funtime Foxy was designed to track movement, Michael. You should know that, right?50Please respect copyright.PENANA1UzLsWcns3
*Michael flinches. The mention of Sister Location and the animatronics that literally tore him apart makes his skin crawl. He didn't expect Izuku to throw his own death back in his face.*
Michael : *his voice turning cold* Low blow, Sunshine. You weren't even there to see what those things did to me.
*Izuku opens the door abruptly Michael almost falls forward, surprised by the sudden movement. Izuku stands there, fully dressed again, but his eyes have a haunted look that Michael recognizes all too well.*
Izuku : I don't need to have been there to know the pain, Michael. I told you, I've seen it all. I'm not the enemy here. I just want to have dinner with my family without being spied on.
* Michael stares at Izuku for a long time, noticing a small red stain starting to peak through the white fabric of his shirt near his shoulder50Please respect copyright.PENANAeP8Qu2Y6J3
Michael : You're bleeding.
Izuku : *quickly adjusts his collar, his expression hardening*50Please respect copyright.PENANASJ54cx9yI5
It’s an old wound. It doesn't like to stay closed. Now, are we going down for dinner, or are you going to keep playing spy?
Michael : *smirks coldly, though he looks shaken* Fine. Let’s go. But don't think I’m done watching you.
