The walk back to the dorms was short and bittersweet, Katsuki would like to go to an arcade or a river but his stamina was low and he needed to recharge. His recovery from his coma was going to be slower if he kept overexerting himself for the sake of everyone around him not treating him like a baby. As long as his restraint was persistent maybe he wouldn't have to use a cane for longer than necessary. Upon arriving back at U.A they were stopped by guards that they showed their school ids to in order to get in. This was procedure for evening-to-night travels, no refugee or student could leave past a certain time unless it was an emergency; the rowdy boys were almost late to a new curfew but the guard was nice enough to let them through without hassle. Walking through the dorm building doors, they were met with warm dry air as opposed to the outside rain they were lucky enough to avoid 70% of their time out.

The blond gave a manly nod towards his friend and departed to his room to change into dry clothes. He locked his door and sat on his bed, throwing off his sweater and bra, as well as his wet socks and shoes. He sat shirtless, falling backwards and checking his phone. There were a few unread messages from the greenette he was more than happy to ignore, but felt an obligation to respond nonetheless. 'hi kacchan where r u?' 'don't forget abt the group hangout tonight' 'we are going to be in the common room don't be late!' the texts read. The blond sighed with his arm over his forehead, groaning. Somewhere in the distance in no particular direction he thought he heard the sound of a camera shutter, it made him cock his head in fear briefly. Katsuki didn't see anything though. He sits up with the help of his cane and sifts through his drawers for something dry to wear, a black shirt with the punisher skull on it. Bra or binding wasn't necessary as far as he knew, so he slid on some slippers and made his way back into the real world once again, phone left to die on his bed while he connected with people instead.

Katsuki met eyes with the greenette as he walked in, zabutons all arranged in a circle and he sat in an open spot across from him. His smile was quick but brighter than the smile he feigned to his fellow peers. Kirishima, Todoroki, Ochako, Sero, Kaminari, Mina, Mineta and Momo were all present besides Izuku and the blond. "Cool! Everyone's here!" Izuku beamed, clapping his hands together. "Alright, this is just a spoken game night, i thought it would be nice to hang out with friends and act like 13 year olds again just for tonight. Does anybody have any ideas for a game?" The group of teenagers divulged among each other to figure out what game to play. Momo suggested charades, bless her soul. She was most likely the least rowdy person in the room that was bound to be forced to keep them all in check one way or another if at all. Todoroki liked telephone or the quiet game, fittingly so. Mineta wanted to play Spin the Bottle. The females in the room shut that down quickly. It was when Kaminari suggested truth or dare and Kirishima suggested would you rather that a true decision was being made.

The majority voted for Truth or Dare, and so it was, all other games would be after if it didn't end up going all night. Even Katsuki was pressured into voting for it, as long as he didn't have to play Spin the Bottle he was fine. "I wanna start!" volunteers Mina, sitting cheerily with her hands under her. "Kirishima! Truth or Dare?" "Dare. All the way." he answers quickly. Mina snickers with a devilish grin, "I knew it! I dare you...to do push ups until it's your turn again." Kirishima scoffed and stood up proudly, "That's weak sauce, man!" "Say that when you're sweating bullets." Katsuki chimes in, scoffing. "Um, I want to be next." Todoroki offers, no one disagrees and she continues. "Hey, Yaoyorozu, truth or dare?" Momo perks up a bit and smiles sheepishly, "Oh! Uh, truth?" Mineta is highly engaged, clearly. "Okay. What's the weirdest dream you've had?" "Um...let's see." she trails off.

Mineta is sweating almost as much as Kirishima is, probably thinking she's going to reveal a sex dream or something. "I once had a dream that all of the things I create are stuck under my skin as if it's elastic! I was terrified when I woke up." she says chipperly. She got a few grossed out and surprised looks from the people around her. Several minutes passed by and multiple people were subject to various dares and truths. Kaminari was dared to try to lick his elbow by Kirishima who no longer had to do push ups, he tried to lick his elbow for 10 minutes straight as a result. Mineta was dared to leave by Mina, outspokenly Mineta-phobic apparently. Ochako told her truth about having an eating disorder, to which she was trying her best to overcome. Todoroki had the opportunity to come out when she was asked "what's something you want to get off your chest?" by Izuku. No one seemed to have a problem with it and they all moved on with ease. Sero jokingly dared Mina to kiss him. She got multiple gasps when she did so, shrugging like it was nothing and the boy being left with a red face.

The only person who wasn't actively participating was Katsuki. Sitting idly by and watching his classmates have the time of their lives. Occasionally he got glances from Izuku that showed worry. It was eventually Kirishima's turn to initiate the famous question, choosing his closest friend to be his guinea pig with a mischievous look on his face. "Bakugou! Truth or dare?" Kirishima was smart enough to know what questions and dares were strictly off-limits. It was an easy answer. Especially to impress his classmates. "Dare." he states monotonously. "I dare you..." he trails off. The red haired boy looked around the room briefly and his eyes landed on the greenette. The trap has been set. "...to have a staring contest with Midoriya, whoever loses has to make out with the other." The group erupted with various opinions on the matter. "What?" "No fuckin way!" he barks. "The punishment for not taking the dare is stripping to your boxers. There's no getting out of this one man!" he cackles.

Maybe that would be a better alternative. Expose his body so his spirit doesn't have to be crushed. Kirishima knew him well, too well. Izuku was slightly panicking at the amount of support this dare got, darting his eyes to each person that ultimately glued their eyes to him and Katsuki. "Chop-chop, lovebirds!" Kamimari jests. What a disgusting display of the dangers of peer pressure. The greenette makes eye contact with him and shrugs. "Guess we have no choice." he jokes, closing his eyes to prepare. Oh. We're doing this now. Katsuki was given a moment to prepare his eyes and once Kirishima yelled, "And...Go!" their eyes locked. Everyone was on the edge of their seats, some joking that there was "no way this was happening." The blond wasn't going to refuse a dare or it would make him look like a wimp, and he was far from it. Both of their faces were blank and focused. Maybe it was because of Izuku's large eyes but this task seemed impossible to win. About a minute in already and both of them are struggling to keep their eyes open.

Ultimately Izuku lost, tormented by a lash falling into his eye. It was a close call but Katsuki won. At what cost, exactly, he would come to know soon.
