Izuku had to step out as Nezu and Aizawa rewatched the video. Eventually they took in Midoriya's phone as well. It was all going to be used as evidence.

Nezu also took mesures to significantly increase security for that night and the following day until they could get this to the police force and start and actual case.

It was late at this point. Nearly 12 in the morning. Izuku was exhausted, but he knew he wasn't going to get good sleep no matter what he did.

He had been sitting at Nezu's desk with his head down, but he wasn't asleep.

"Hey, kiddo." Aizawa said, "you ready to go to bed?"

"Sure. Not like I'm gonna be able to sleep anyways." Izuku mumbled, rubbing his eyes. "What do you mean?" Nezu asked.

"I just-" Izuku paused, "I can't seem to sleep well lately."

"Why not?" He asked. Izuku wished he would stop prying.

"Nightmares." He mumbled. "Nightly?"

"Yeah. Nightly." Izuku said. "Interesting. About what?" Nezu asked.

Izuku looked uncomfortable, he didn't wanna talk about it.

"Hey that's enough for today." Aizawa said sternly. "Yes, my apologies Midoriya. I hope you sleep better tonight."

Midoriya just nodded stiffly and Aizawa lead the way back, stopping in front of his dorm, "you gonna be okay on your own?"

Izuku shrugged as he pushed open his door, "probably." Aizawa looked concerned, "is there anything I can do to help?"

Izuku shook his head, "it is what it is. Goodnight."

"Come find me if you need anything kiddo." Aizawa said. Midoriya just nodded before closing his door.

Midoriya went and sat on his bed, incredibly anxious. He was terrified. He didn't have his phone, he didn't have anything to distract him.

He felt his body jerk as there was a knock on his door. His heart was racing.

"Hey its Todoroki, can I come in?"

Izuku walked over to the door, opening it for Todoroki. "Hey. You okay?"

"I don't know." He said.

"Can I come in?" Todoroki asked. Izuku nodded.

"I brought you some crackers" todoroki said, pulling the package of crackers out of his hoodie pockets. Izuku took them, "thanks."

"I also brought a bottle of water." Todoroki said, pulling that out of his hoodie pocket as well. Izuku couldn't help but smile, "what is this the Mary Poppins of hoodie pockets?" He asked.

Todoroki smiled, "yes. I'm magic."

Izuku smiled back, getting that fluttery feeling in his stomach. He wanted to give him a hug.

"Can I give you a hug?" He asked. Todoroki smiled, "yeah."

Izuku wrapped his arms around Todoroki. They stayed like that for a few minutes.

"What's this for?" Todoroki asked.

"Everything. Thanks for caring. And helping. It means so much more than you think it does." Deku said, pulling away from the hug, "that sounds so cheesy but it's fine."

Todoroki laughed, a huge smile on his face, "I'm glad I can help."

Izuku let his smile relax and took a deep breath. It had been on hell of a day, but he felt more relaxed with Todoroki around.
