"Ah-! What the-!?" Izu exclaimed. But no answer....

"Uh- T-Todoroki? Kacchan? Are you guys still there?" Izu asked, reaching in their direction. Then he felt their two bodies at his fingertips. "Hey....Why aren't you guys saying anything?" he asked, pulling his hands away. They stayed silent as Todoroki simply lit a flame, in his hand and walked out of the room, Bakugo following close behind.

Deku could only stand there, in the dark, all alone. The only thing he could even think about was the look in their eyes as Todoroki and Bakugo had walked out. It squeezed his heart, so tightly. It was almost suffocating.

"Oi, Nerd....Are you coming? Or are you staying in the dark?" Bakugo said calmly, a few feet from the door. "I-....I'm coming..." Deku whispered, rubbing his damp eyes.



As expected, there was yelling in the lobby when they entered. Iida, of course, was trying to calm people down. Some of the others just sat, chilling, and others were freaking out.

"Todoroki! Bakugo! Deku! How did you guys get down here? The power went out," Uraraka asked, walking up to them. "I believe they took the emergency stairs, to get down here, ribbit," Tsu noted.

"Bakugo and Midoriya were lucky to be with Todoroki, they can use his fire as a light and all of us were down here, in the dark," Ashido complained. "Hey, that reminds me. Midoriya, did you find your soulmates, yet?" Ojiro stepped in. "Wait! Soulmates?! Midoriya, you have more than one soulmate?!" Ashido exclaimed getting all up on him. "Well-....uh- yea, I have two soulmates. And no, I haven't found them, yet..." Deku rubbed the back of his neck, nervously. Bakugo and Todoroki simply remained silent.

Then the ash blonde took a seat on the couch and closed his eyes, "You, dumbasses. You could have just sent Pikachu outside to fix the electricity." Todo walked over to Denki, "That would be our best option, I'll join you, Kaminari." Pikachu smiled, "Thanks, man! But- what about everyone else? They'll be stuck in the dark."

"Thanks, but we should be fine, for a few minutes, Kaminari," Iida assured, setting his hand on Denki's shoulder. "Alright, then let's go fix the power," Todoroki said, making his way to the front door. "Ah-! Wait for me!" Pikachu ran after him.


A few minutes later, Kaminari and Todoroni returned with the lights still out. But while they were away, everyone else pulled out some candles. "Hey, guys. No luck, huh?" Kiri asked. "Unfortunately, not. Although, it seems that the entire campus is out of power..." Shoto replied, putting out his flame.

"Well why don't each of us take a candle to our rooms, for the night?" Jiro suggested. "That's a good idea, Kyoka. But we don't have enough candles..." Hagakure responded. "That's ok, Toru. I can make some. Candles are fairly easy to make," Momo smiled, starting to make one.

"Wait a second, Yaoyorozu...." Izu exclaimed. "Yes, it most likely would be a good idea to make more candles, that way we could have more light, but- Think about it: All of the electricity on campus has gone out, which would mean that the security wouldn't be working. And..." he implied. "And that would mean that this could be a villain attack," Todoroki answered.

"Yeah, I think that it would probably be the best choice for all of us to sleep here, in the common area. So if we did that, and we were attacked, then it would be easier to alarm everyone and we would have strength in numbers and-" he was immediately cut off. It was Bakugo, and he was literally shoving his hand in Deku's face, "Shut up, Nerd....We all know where you're going with this, so all you extras, go get your shit, to sleep down here."

The blonde walked away, jamming his hands into his pockets. All of a sudden, Izu began to feel uneasy. And without even realizing it, he was soon playing with his string. And a few moments later, Shoto noticed. But, it just made him feel anxious and miserable, racking his brain until before he even knew it, he was in front of his door.

'I don't even remember walking up here...' he thought to himself.



A while later, everyone had their things set up. Everyone was set in a circle, except Bakugo, who wanted to be by himself. "Bakubro! Come sleep over here, with all of us!" Kiri insisted. "Hell no," The Angry Pomeranian cursed, lying down.

Soon enough, things settled down a bit. But one person was out of place. They hid in the shadows, yet sparkling. The French Lover was on the move. Until he completely face plants. The thud made a few students stir, but only one awoke.

"Aoyama? Are you okay?!" Izu whispered. "Not to worry, Mon Ami. I still look magnifique," Sparkly Boi, stood up, doing his little pose.

"That's good. But what are you still doing up?"

"I was merely hoping to get a glass of water-" the blonde cut himself off. "Aoyama? What's wrong?" Izuku asked, looking up at him. "Mon Ami-..."

"Shut up Sparkles," Bakugo barked at him in a whisper.

"Oh but I..." Aoyama trailed off as he looked down at his feet to see the string. His eyes followed it and found it's owners. If he didn't sparkle before, he definitely did now. He found the trio. Dun dun DUUUUUNNN.

"Mon Ami. I wish you and Todoroki the best of luck," Aoyama pat Deku's head. "What? What are you-....What are you talking about?" the green haired boy sat up. "Just go to sleep..." a voice whispered. Izu looked over to see a certain red and white haired boy, shifting in his place. "All of you just shut the hell up..." Bakugo mumbled.


Aoyama got his glass of water and went to sleep. Nobody was still awake. Nobody except for Katsuki Bakugo, Shoto Todoroki, and Izuku Midoriya the three boys linked together, for all of eternity.


Izuku sighed. His heart hurt from all that has happened in the last few hours. All he wanted right now was to never have been hit with Akari's quirk. None of this would have happened. He would still be friends with Todoroki and he wouldn't have lied to everybody about not finding his soulmates. He just wanted his life back to normal. And all he could do was think about that, nothing else. He even hated the concept of thinking. It just made him hurt more and more.

Fortunately for him, his thoughts were interrupted by the sound of someone walking. Deku rolled over to see his temperamental soulmate walking outside. Some weird feeling began to form in his chest, and it wasn't pleasurable. He then made the decision to follow the blonde. But before he could even sit up, he saw another figure moving around. Izu couldn't tell who it was, until they stood in front of one of the sizable windows.

It was Shoto Todoroki, himself.

Then it clicked. The way the boy moved in the moonlight. They way his hair slowly shifted from side to side as he walked. What was happening? An affect? Izu looked down at his hands. And believe it or not, the boy smiled and started to blush.

A few moments later, he looked back up to see Shoto opening the door, peering outside. The door opened wider as he slipped out. Izuku stood and made his way to the door. It was still cracked open, so he took a peek. Although, he couldn't see either of his soulmates. Taking a deep breath, he walked out, closing the door, quietly behind him.

Bakugo was sitting on the edge of the white cement on the porch. His legs were pulled into his chest, and his face buried in his arms. Then, Deku spotted Todoroki. He was standing with his back against the pillar next to the Bakugo, just looking at him.

"What the hell do you assholes want?..." Bakugo hissed, glaring at Shoto and Izuku.
