All of Class 1-A are gathered around the TV in the common room, laying on the piles of cushions on the floor or draped haphazardly over couches. The movie is playing quietly as it nears its end. Suddenly, the screen goes blank.
"Hey!" Ashido yells. "What happened?"
"I turned it off," L says, pinching the remote between two slender fingers.
"What did you do that for?" Kaminari whines. "It was just getting good."
"I wanted to do something else," Todoroki says. "Playing a game would make me feel better about ... you know ... my dad dying and all."
"Of course!" Yaoyorozu exclaims. "What would you like to play?"
"Midoriya, what was the game you were telling me about?" Todoroki asks, nudging him.
"Truth or Dare! I think it might help distract Todoroki more than the movie would," Midoriya says.
"Excellent!" Iida yells. "Everyone, gather around here quickly! We must do our best to make Todoroki feel better!"
Iida's announcement is loud enough to wake the dozing members of the class, who stumble over to the main crowd by the television.
"Todoroki, you can start," Uraraka says.
"Okay, let me think, how about ... Yaoyorozu," Todoroki says, turning to look directly at her. "Truth or dare?"
"Um, of course," Yaoyorozu says, surprised. "I'll do truth."
"Oh. But I wanted you to pick dare," Todoroki pouts.
"Yes, that is what I meant! Dare," Yaoyorozu says, flustered.
"I dare you to handcuff yourself to the person next to you."
Yaoyorozu blushes a deep shade of red, using her quirk to materialize a pair of handcuffs. She locks one end onto her wrist, then turns to Jirou with a sheepish look on her face.
"Looks like you're stuck with me," she says.
Jirou laughs, extending her arm so that Yaoyorozu can handcuff them together. Todoroki makes eye contact with Midoriya and L across the circle, giving a brief nod, their plan set in motion.
"Yaomomo, it's your turn now, ribbit," Tsuyu says.
"Oh!" Yaoyorozu says, pulling her eyes away from Jirou. "Tokoyami, truth or dare?"
"Truth."
"Where did you get the sword in your bedroom?"
"I really have to tell you?"
"Do it for Todoroki, dude," Kirishima says.
"Hot Topic," Tokoyami mumbles, Dark Shadow laughing behind him.
A brief moment of silence passes, before the whole circle breaks out into laughter. The mood in the room lifts slightly after Tokoyami breaks the ice, and the game starts flowing rapidly. Tsuyu ends up sitting on Iida's back as he does push-ups, and Koda is dared to summon animals while singing like a Disney princess.
"Truth or Dare, Uraraka?" Shoji asks, tiny hats sitting on the ends of each of his limbs.
"Truth, please!"
"Who do you think has the worst hero name in the class?"
"Oh man," Uraraka grimaces. "Sorry, but I'm gonna have to go with Bakugou."
"WHAT?"
"Uraraka, run! He's going to kill you!" Kaminari yells.
"If you say that again, you'll wish you were never born!" Bakugou screeches.
