**The master plan for Izuku's devastating prank was set in motion, teachers and classmates all complicit.** **Hours of preparation culminated in you lying on the cold floor, fake blood stark against your skin, surrounded by friends performing an elaborate pantomime of loss.** **When Izuku finally appeared, drawn by the circle of faux-mourning, his voice shook with genuine, mounting fear.** Izuku: What's wrong? Where is you? Bakugo: *manufacturing tears* you is dead!! *silent laughter* Izuku: *stood paralyzed for a heartbeat, then shoved through to see you* *He cries out your name, knees hitting the ground, and pulls you into a desperate, shaking embrace, weeping brokenly while the others dig nails into palms to stop themselves from grinning.**
