Hello and welcome to the twenty-ninth chapter!
(I feel like I might've put up this song before, but it's so peaceful)
Deku's POV unless told otherwise. If a POV is switched mid-chapter and it is not indicated whose POV it is, it's Deku's.
Enjoy!!!

(A/N: I'm pretty sure only Tokoyami can understand Dark Shadow in MHA canon, but for this AU we'll say anybody can understand it.)
Dark Shadow: So, do you have a thing for the heroes you've captured?
All conversation at the table dies instantly.
Tokoyami: Dark Shadow... You can't just... Say that...
Me: Uh...
Shinso snorts, and we all awkwardly go back to eating. It's currently lunch period, and Fumikage Tokoyami is my supervisor today; Which means I eat lunch with him and what has been dubbed the chill group, which consists of Hitoshi Shinso, Mezo Shoji, Koji Koda, Kyoka Jiro, and Tokoyami himself.
Dark Shadow: Is that a yes then?
Tokoyami: Dark Shadow!
Me: Fuck no! I captured Endeavor at one point, remember?
Dark Shadow: Fair point.
Shoji: Did you really need to ask him that?
Dark Shadow: I was just curious.
Shinso: He laughed psychotically and delivered a villain speech to the camera when he captured Endeavor, which definitely screams "I'm attracted to this big daddy"
Tokoyami: Apparently I have to tell you this is Izuku: No cursing.
Me: Ugh noooo...
Jiro: What the actual fuck did you just say Shinso-
Dark Shadow: L+ ratio get dunked on
Koda: W-what does th-that even mean...?
Tokoyami: I've been letting Dark Shadow watch too many meme compilations...
Shinso: What, I'm just saying.
Jiro: I genuinely can't tell if you were being sarcastic or not.
Shoji: We'll probably never know.
It takes every ounce of my will not to laugh out loud as I watch the conversation unfold. To prevent me from making a fool out of myself, I opt to take a drink of my water.
Dark Shadow: Still, kidnapping that many people? There's no way he doesn't have a thing for at least one of them-
Shoji: Must you ship every person that breathes in the vicinity of the other?
Dark Shadow: Huh?
Koda: Made s-sense to me.
Shinso: If not Endeavor, then who oh wise Dark Shadow?
Tokoyami: Don't encourage-
Jiro: Impart us with your wisdom
Dark Shadow: Well I mean we all know Todoroki has a thing for him, but Izuku hasn't kidnapped him so...
I just barely manage to cover my mouth with my hand before I spit out my water.
Me: What!?
Shoji: You couldn't tell?
Shinso: Todoroki is definitely into you.
Me: But he- How- it's- I-
Jiro: I think that's enough mind-blowing reveals for the oblivious for this lunch period.
