~ Third Person P.O.V ~
The room they were placed in was small, hell, the word 'small' would be an understatement. Especially for three boys sleeping in it. Just like the rest of the run down hotel, the walls were furnished with dark spots, grime, and more minuscule pieces of mold here and there. One, semi-large bed standing prominently on the left wall. Two, crystal-coated, victorian lights mounted on the wall above the bed-- the one to the right flickered every few seconds.
Izuku released a small yelp and instinctively hid behind both boys when a spider scurried across the floor close to their feet; fading into the corner of the room.
"You scared or somethin', Small Fry?" Katsuki teased, setting his bag down on the dresser and allowing his body to flop on the bed.
"No," Izuku scoffed, his face morphing back into its habitual scowl-- lips pressed together, and eyes hardened.
"Good," Shoto drawled, joining his blond friend on the bed. "That means you'll have no problem sleeping on the floor then." He finished with an arched and snowy brow.
The younger of the three gaped at the duel-haired male, poker-face turning ghost-like as his eyes slowly traveled down to the dirt and bug covered floor. A small frown turned the corners of Izuku's mouth down as he continued to stare at the floor, which soon twisted back into his hardened expression.
"Yep," He replied, marching off the small closet by the door and pulling out spare blankets and pillows. "I don't mind,"
The heterochromatic man's face contorted as his gaze on the younger intensified-- fishing for at least the tiniest piece of emotion on Izuku's face. Yet, of course, he came up empty-handed.
"C'mon Todo, are you really gonna make the kid sleep on the floor?" Katsuki whispered in the other male's ear, observing as Izuku made himself a pallet on the floor; face twisting into a rather conflicted expression as he watched.

Torn between allowing Izuku to sleep on the floor, and not. He knew it was cruel to ask the boy to do such a thing, he wanted nothing more than to tell Shoto to just let him sleep on the foot of the bed or something of that manner. Then flashbacks of his father arose to the forefront of his mind, prompting a glower to mix in with his features.
"Never mind," The blond added, not giving Shoto a chance to reply.
Drawing his lower lip in between his teeth, Shoto's eyes flicker over to where Katsuki laid only to switch back over to Izuku-- who was kicking off his shoes. Inhaling a deep breath, the duel-haired male begins to say something that'll most likely be the starting point of something dangerous. Something forbidden, yet exhilarating all at once.
Of course, he doesn't know that yet.
"Kid," Shoto groused, "You can sleep at the end of the bed,"
"Shoto Todoroki, what the hell are you doing?" The scarlet-eyed male next to him whisper shouted, making sure to keep his voice low enough so Izuku didn't hear.
Snapping his head back in Katsuki's direction, Shoto heaves a sigh. "There are bugs on the floor Bakugou, and who knows what kind of diseases some of them are carrying. If he gets bit and dies from it who will Aizawa blame?" He shot back, curving one eyebrow up.
"I make no promises to kicking him off the bed," The blond grumbled, rolling over as Izuku expectantly stared at the two from his place on the floor.
"Well?" The elder of the three scoffed, "You wanna sleep with the bugs or on the bed, your choice."
Narrowing his eyes into slits, Izuku resists the urge to roll them. "First you wanted me on the floor and now on the bed . . . What's the catch?" He questions.

"There is none,"
After a few more minutes of silently debating on whether or not this would all be a good idea, Izuku slowly crawls in at the foot of the bed. Making sure to steer clear of Shoto and Katsuki's feet as he did so. He wasn't too fond of the idea, to say the least, however, he would rather sleep here with the two men he hates rather than the dirt and bugs.

"Move your fucking foot," Izuku growled in his sleep, pushing Katsuki's foot away from his face.
It was still rather late at night-- or well, morning to be exact. The sun was still nowhere close to rising up above the horizon as the stars and moon still held their place in the inky sky. Shoto had gone to sleep hours ago, leaving Izuku and Katsuki to quietly bicker in the dark over each other's feet.
"I'll move my foot when you move your damn toe away from my ear!" Katsuki shot back, cautious of the sleeping male next to him.
Grounding his teeth against one another, Izuku wraps his fingers around the elder's ankle-- precluding any movement from happening. "Move. Your. Foot." He fumed, articulating each word with excess force.
"Bite me," Katsuki grumbled.
"Fine, stop squirming and your wish is my command," The green-haired boy mocked, turning over so he was facing the duel-eyed male's feet instead.
At least Shoto was in too deep of a sleep to actually move.
Scoffing, the blond grumbles a string of incoherent curses under his breath-- pulling the covers over his head, leaving Izuku with barely anything at all. In his exhausted, anger-filled retaliation Izuku pulled the cover more his way; smirking in amusement as the blond released a growl.
After a few more minutes of silently pulling at the covers, Shoto jolts up-- flicking the lights on and giving the two hardened glares.
"You two are acting like children," He snarled, "Some of us are trying to get a decent nights sleep!"
Squinting his carmine eyes at the younger male, Katsuki grunts. "He started it!"
"I started it?! You're the one who decided it'd be a grand idea to put your foot in my face!" Izuku bit back, rage dripping off each and every word.
"That's enough!" The eldest shouted, holding his palms up at each side of his body. "You two are giving me a fucking headache,"
That's when an idea began to formulate in his mind, one the two would most certainly not enjoy whatsoever. Quickly scrambling out of bed, Shoto grabs ahold of both of their wrists-- ignoring their protests and shouts of complaint he leads them both to the closet, shoving them in and closing the door.
"In the morning the rest of us has to go find a place where we can get oil to do a change, we'll most likely be gone for a while so you two will stay here in the closet. Either until we get back, or until you learn to at least not argue," Shoto explained, pushing the dresser in front of the closet door.
Eyes wide, and mouth hanging agape, Katsuki releases a frustrated growl. "That's rich coming from you Todo, you guys both argue too!"
"Yeah, but I know when to put an end to it-- whereas you don't Katsuki, and that'll be our downfall!" The elder shot back, already heading back into bed.
It was then and only then, did Izuku realize just how little the closet was . . . This ought to be interesting.

Interface
Welcome to the World-City of Thousel, the sixth iteration of life on the planet. These are the recordings of the people of Thousel. Thousel is believed to be the second longest iteration of life, and the overall most prosperous compared to what we know about the past five iterations. Medicine and technology have all progressed abundantly, and the world itself has been turned into one great city, governed and managed by the Governmental-Company Alliance, or the GCA.These particular recordings concern the discovery of a peculiar machine. When two very different people find themselves bound by the fate of one mysterious bot, life in the World-City begins to change… Interface is a cyberpunk webnovel set in an ecumenopolis world where people evolved with electro-sensory abilities. These senses shape the face of modern technology and life in a world where the three largest corporations run what has effectively become the government. Each of these three companies control various aspects of life in the city, and they all constantly vie for domain and power over one another.The world stands at the precipice of biological, technological, and historical breakthrough. After decades of study into microbiology, archaeology, and geology, it has been discovered that sentient life has lived on the planet multiple times over. These past peoples are referred to as the “prior iterations of life,” and it is believed that five great civilizations were constructed before the rise of the modern world. No one can be sure for certain what caused these peoples’ extinction long ago, and the theories range from simply dying off over time to massive tectonic fractures in the face of the planet. Advanced technology, far more complicated than anything the people possess today, has been uncovered in multiple locations. This has lead scholars to speculate on exactly how long each iteration of life survived and how far they progressed as a society. None of the companies have been able to find a way to make this ancient technology work for their own profit. It is as though they are each missing the final key needed to unlock these centuries old secrets. What could this knowledge reveal about the nature of life across every iteration? What power could it give to the one who wields it?Far from the investigation into the origin of life, two kids unlock a new mystery – one that ties their fates to the discovery of an old, mysterious robot. Suddenly, eyes begin to turn towards them as life in the city of Thousel changes wherever they go…

Pillars Between Us
It started with the dent left by the Forest Sprite; A small crack in the ice that encased his memories. Curtis knew that something was off, realizing that he wasn’t who he thought he was and— perhaps Ellis wasn’t the one meant for him. --It's a fantasy novel set in a world where people inhabit on pillars-- (think of m*necaft sky block, you'll get what I mean) -- then give it a hint of action, mystery and (twisted) romance-- and it's influenced by Japanese fantasy light novels (cuz I read a lot of em'). But I'm sure it's a weird one cuz the style of writing isn't the Japanese to English translated kind of style but rather the orthodox English novel kind of writing (which includes a bunch of errors and broken English thanks to me!). In any case, if you're up for it, just beware the story starts out pretty slow.. I mean-- back then, I was still inexperienced ok! I'm gettin' better along the way, Hmmph!

New Paris [a Modern-day LitRPG]
New Paris [OR] I reincarnated into the world of my favorite wuxia novel as an S ranker with unbalanced skills. [Volume 1] - Completed I was one of those people who only stood out in a crowd when their name was called. Then, I died. But instead of heaven, hell, or anything else, I found myself in the body of a young woman whom I did not recognise at first. You see, I had this novel I was obsessed with. The novel was a fairly popular wuxia that got a few sequels, and a handful of spinoffs. One of these spinoffs took place in Paris, where the main cast fought against a multi-millionaire villain. When I woke up after dying, I eventually realised that I was now the third daughter of this multi-millionaire end-game boss in a spin-off of a sequel of my favourite novel. Does this make any sense to you? Because it doesn't to me. But I guess I might as well make the most of it now. Just gotta stay away from some of the more unstable main characters and cut all ties with my 'family' to avoid certain death. [Volume 2] - Currently Airing It had not been a good idea to interfere with the characters of the original novel. Had I known it was going to cause a butterfly effect, I would have stayed in my lane and minded my business. Although, between the suspicious attacks I seem to constantly find myself in the center of, and my 'family' who is the living definition of the expression 'rich pricks', I’m not entirely sure my current predicament would have been avoidable. But maybe it isn't to be avoided; maybe I should embrace this opportunity that has been given to me and become the hero of this story? At least it's certain that I can't do worse than the original protagonist in terms of moral ambiguity; with immortality already in my pocket, and no other useful skills to account for. However, if I were to follow this path, I would have a lot to lose, including an upcoming promotion and my growing relationship with my crush. With power, glory and whatever else on one side, and my wellbeing and happiness on the other, even in this magical wuxia world, the choice is easy to make. CW: graphic descriptions of violence, swearing, implied child abuse, mention and graphic description of suicide
