"Midoriya, Bakugou, your teams are up next. You'll have fifteen minutes before the exercise begins to strategize and sixty minutes to capture each other's flags. Head out onto the field and get ready."

"Yes, Sensei!" They both shout, before exiting the room with their teammates. Izuku and Katsuki glance at each other for a second before they exit. Katsuki grins, cocky and excited for the challenge ahead. Izuku smiles back at him with determination.

Right before they have to part ways, Katsuki says, "Good luck, nerd. You're gonna need it."

"We'll see about that," Izuku replies. They gazes linger on each other even as they turn around, heading towards the opposite ends of the dense, forested field.

"You guys are so cute," Uraraka says. "Getting all dramatic and intense."

Todoroki adds, "Agreed."

Izuku blushes, shyly rubbing the back of his head. "Um..."

"Please don't let your guard down," Iida says.

"Right," Izuku says. "Of course! Let's figure out a strategy. Kacchan's team has Yaoyorozu, Jirou, and Tokoyami. It's not going to be easy to sneak past them, especially with Jirou on their team."

"Our best bet for winning"-Uraraka pauses momentarily, warm brown eyes darkening into something colder-"might be psychological warfare."

Iida says, "Loathe as I may be to admit it, I must agree."

"Hm..." Izuku pinches his bottom lip, contemplating. His thoughts spill out on their own, slowly devolving into muttering. "How do we distract them enough to split up though? They likely won't fall for our bait unless we use the flag, but if we're not careful, they could turn the tables on us in an instant..."

"Bakugou will probably be the one coming after our flag," Todoroki says. "If it looks like we're about to lose, you should distract him, Midoriya."

That jolts Izuku out of his muttering. He looks up at the rest of them, confused. "How?"

"Pretend to break up with him," Iida says flatly.

"Tell him you're pregnant," Todoroki deadpans.

"Seduce him!" Uraraka says, grinning.

This is going to be a disaster.

Izuku balks at them, shocked and disturbed. "I-I can't do any of that!"

"It would be funny to see Bakugou's reaction after revealing a pregnancy," Todoroki says.

"I think it would be funny to see Deku-kun's seduction skills in action," Uraraka giggles, and Todoroki nods along. Izuku sputters, for once at a loss for words.

"It's just a precaution," Iida says, pushing his glasses up the bridge of his nose. "If the situation becomes dire, please consider it at least."

Izuku gives in, defeated by their expectant looks, especially Todoroki and Uraraka's excited faces. "A-Alright. Can we focus on our main strategy now?"

They hammer out the details of their plan right until the timer runs out. A loud beep rings out across the field, signaling the start of the exercise. Things start off slowly at first, but rapidly devolve into chaos once Katsuki approaches their base. They manage to defend their flag fairly well-

That is, until a surprise attack is launched against them by Tokoyami and Yaoyorozu.

The attack was completely unexpected, since they didn't think Katsuki's team would leave their flag so vulnerable. Not only do they manage to stop Iida, who was supposed to steal Katsuki's team flag, but they manage to create the perfect window of opportunity for Katsuki to steal Izuku's team flag. Katsuki blasts off at full speed toward the other side of the field, while Izuku and the others chase after him, fighting against Yaoyorozu and Tokoyami at the same time. Things weren't looking good for Izuku's team.
