House 356

8.First Talk

" Part of me had wanted to go right to the house that night, but I was beat and I needed to sleep so I crashed and burned hard the minute I got home but by six am I was up, showed, had eaten and was back on that doorstep at seven am."

" It was Saturday and my day off so I didn't need to worry about the extras all I needed to worry about was if this was going to work or not."

" Soon as I walked in I looked around. This was the same time I'd be here if I had worked so again I wondered if he was waiting."

" Not sure if you're around down here Izuku but if so good morning."

" That question was answered for me as I began to walk upstairs and heard those feet right next to me. I smiled with a fucking nagging ache because I wonder how long he waits, I couldn't stop picturing him like some sad looking puppy who waits for you by the window when you leave and doesn't move from that spot till you get back home."

" I headed into the room I had been working on, I don't know why I walked in there, I mean I could technically talk to him any place in the house considering it was empty today but I guess I figured since this is where we had had the most communication this is where I'd go, like maybe this is where he was comfortable."

" I was anxious to do this, I wanted to see if this shit worked so bad I had a hard time thinking about anything else so as soon as I walked in making sure not to close the door on his face this time, I pulled that vial out of my pocket taking another look at that black-green substance and popped the top"

"I hope this shit works", was all I mumbled before I took a swig of that stuff.

" Now mind you, I didn't know how much to take cause he didn't say, and the other thing fucking scars didn't tell me was that this shit was going to taste like death."

" As soon as that stuff hit my mouth I wanted to spit it back out, it was everything I could do not to. I coughed and choked and felt like I needed to wash my tongue with bleach the minute that shit invaded my mouth. For a minute I wonder of Scars had just been fucking with me and this was some kind of joke, which would have been a horrible mistake on his part cause I would have tracked him down and beat the living shit out of him, voodoo, hoodoo man or not."

" I actually spit a couple times as I was mumbling curses at the thing."

" Fuck that is nasty! That has to be some kind of fucking dead ass frog juice in there, mixed with swamp water, holy fuck."

" Suddenly I heard it though, a sound that made me want to chug that God damn stuff. I heard the sound of soft laughter making my eyes blow wide and dart in that direction."

" Izuku?! Is.. is that you?!"

"There was a gasp and then...."

" Oh, oh my gosh you can see me?! Can you see me?!"

" I shook my head with a big ass smile."

" No, I can't see you but I can hear you, I can hear you perfectly. Holy shit this is amazing!".

" There was a sniffle and when he spoke again that's when I released he was crying."

" I.. oh my .. I.. I can't believe you can hear me, that.. that someone can finally hear me."

" The tone of his voice made my heart ache and all I wanted to do was pull him into a hug, and I'm not a hugger, but if I could have done it, I definitely would have."
