Third Person P.O.V.

"C'mon bro! It'll be so fun dude!" Kirishima pleaded towards Katsuki.

"He's got a point man. Think about it, no one will know who you are so you could act however you want" Kaminari Chimed in as he held up two different outfits to his build.

"Tch, no. I'm not going to the fucking masquerade ball" Katsuki replied with an uninterested scowl.

"Dude! Everyone is going to this party. Even Midoriya! I was honestly surprised" Kirishima argued.

"Fine I'll go, but only to shut you the fuck up" Katsuki finally gave in as he stood up.

"Alright! This is gonna be so cool man!" Kaminari exclaimed as he decided on the pale yellow.

With that Katsuki left Kirishima's dorm room and walked down to his own. The truth was he was planning on going since it was announced. He even designed his own mask. It was a black mask, lined with sparkling red jewels. It's eye holes were defined by red glitter and it had orange spirals throughout the mask. It also had orange feathers lining the top outer part of the mask. It was the image of elegance and chaos. He sighed as he grabbed his tuxedo from his closet.

"It's okay Midoriya, you look great!" Uraraka assured the tense boy.

"She's right Midoriya, there's no reason to be nervous kero" Asui agreed as she fixed the bow in her hair.

"I-I know it's just I can't help but be nervous. I've never been to something like this and it's just kinda nerve racking, especially knowing that all of our school is going"

"I get it Midoriya, but just remember! Tonight, nobody will know who you are. You can be whoever you want to be and more! That's what's so great about it being a masquerade ball"

"Y-You're right"

Izuku took a good look in the mirror. He would be lying if he said he didn't look charming. His mask fitted him perfectly. He had a golden mask that was lined with a minty green. There were two green feather that imaged bunny ears on his mask. Hanging from the bottom of the mask were small green jewels. Not to mention the eyes. The eye holes were surrounded by a glittering green spiral the ended with a wing.

-Time Skip-

Izuku gulped nervously as he walked down the spiral staircase. He looked over the crowd of dressed up teens hidden behind extravagant masks. He listened to the light chatter and faint music in the background. He watched teens group off with one another onto the dance floor that was constructed of beauty and elegance. Thought the night was pure magic Izuku felt anxious about what mysteries may or may not unravel. Izuku kept close to his group but trying not to bump into the girls' puffy dresses. He kept his head low as the group walked over to the drinks table. He listened as the girls went off to dance and talk to others. Todoroki was swept off by Momo and Iida went to go lecture the students who were tempted to take off their mask.

So there he stood, alone and not bothering to grab a drink. He lifted his head up for the first time and finally took in the view. There were glistening lights hanging from the ceiling that called him to follow. The music drifted him into the crowd, carrying his feet for him. The mystical shout of the dancing lights. Everything in him was awoken as he drifted along the cold yet alive floor. He looked upwards as if the stars were staring at him from through the roof.

The dazed Izuku stumbled back after bumping into someone. He met eyes with the stranger, taking in every aspect of what he could and could not see. He examined the lively red eyes that shone through the mask he was wearing. The boy was wearing a red suit with a black vest. His mask fitted his features perfectly and something about it made a story arise around the boy. He nearly bowed and swore a million apologies.
