"No."

"We may possibly be in deep shit."

"What the fuck did you do?"

"I said may possibly!"

"Izuku!"

They had just put on a show of glaring at each other after Katsuki was escorted into the room by Shigaraki. With an eloquent and creative threat of behave or else from Shigaraki (or as Izuku remembered it, bEhAvE oR elSe) they were left alone in their barren cell.

Katsuki's restraints were back on. Izuku didn't ask why the villains had decided to do that but he assumed the purpelling bruise on Katsuki's temple had something to do with it.

Izuku was already bound to the bed frame by his cuffs and had set aside the instruments to pick the locks.

Everything was set.

"Okay then," Katsuki seethes. "Why are we may possibly in deep shit?

"That's terrible grammar."

"Oh my god I swear, I will break your-"

"Okay, I'm sorry!" Izuku says, holding his hands up. His sweatshirt rubs against the shallow cuts along his arms. "I just had a complicated couple of hours with AFO." Izuku folds his legs up to his chest and hugs them. "He has a sort of lie detector quirk and he asked me whether I was going to try to escape," he sees Katsuki's breath hitch. "I said no and he just brought me back after that."

"He didn't say anything?"

"He just uh," Izuku pulls his knees closer and rests his forehead against them. "He hugged me and told me to sleep well."

He didn't need to look at Katsuki to know the expression on his face, Izuku was just as confused.

"Is that good or bad?"

"I don't know, Kachan."

"Okay well," starts Katsuki. "We can put it off by a day or two?"

Izuku rejects that idea immediately. "They're torturing you, it can't wait."

He sees the glare of the camera out of the corner of his eye and remembers the pretend fight he was in. "Kachan, flip me off and lie down on the opposite side of the bed." The blond doesn't object, seeming to have forgotten their spat as well. Soon they were conversing from different sides of the bed, facing away from the camera.

"I think we should just do it, we don't have anything to lose," says Izuku. "What's the worst that could happen?"

"Death?"

"Just a lenghthy nap, I say."

Katsuki sat up to glare at Izuku for that remark.

"Fine, we'll do it today." He says and Izuku nods. "I looked at Hand Job's watch, it's like 7-ish so we'll get some rest and then make a move."

"Okay, 8 hours of sleep if they don't bring food," Izuku slides down and rests his head on his hand.

"So we're just sleeping now?"

"Praying wouldn't hurt."

"Izuku" Katsuki whispers and nudges Izuku with his foot. "Izuku, wake up."
