04 BEHIND YOUR BACK

MYSTERIOUS FIGURES shifted in the night, sneaking down the darkness engulfed hallways. The night held many secrets, and this night included one about you.

The moon shone even brighter that night, stars winked from the endless pitch black void, like flashing pinpricks in a veil of darkness. Beneath the scattered moon dust in the sky, shuffling and hushed whispers sounded from the silhouettes that explored 1A's dormitories. They tip toed down the corridors, clothes brushing against the textured walls.

"Ouchie! You just elbowed me, asshole!"

"Ouchie?? The hell are you on about?"

"Guys, be quiet!"

The scuffing of their messy steps finally ceased, seeming to stop in front of a door. The sound of knocking them followed, a fist knocking against the surface gently and quietly. It was only just about loud enough for the person inside to hear.

The door to the dorm creaked opened, only slightly ajar, and the figures that secretly wandered the dark hallways stepped in, and once they filled the room, the lock clicked.

In the depths of night, a group of people crowded around in one room suspiciously.

"No one saw us, right?" One whispered in a hushed tone.

"Nah. No one would be able to see us in that sort of lighting, definitely." Another murmured back quietly, sounding quite confident in their judgement.

"It's way too crowded in here. Move outta the way!"

"It's so dark! Turn a damn light on!" One more voice chined in.

"Then move, fatass!"

Slight fumbling and shifting could be heard, before a 'click!' Sounded, and a beam of light illuminated the once unlit room.

Kirishima peered around the group, wordlessly counting over the people in the dorm. "Everyone's here, right?" He checked.

"Yeah, I think that's just about it." Sero concluded.

"You seriously woke me up for some crappy meet up? This better be important." Bakugo growled, visibly annoyed he wasn't getting his usual beauty sleep.

"Stop whining! You'll get your rest in a minute." Mina huffed, crossing her arms. She stood up on her bed, towering over the boys in front of her with her hands on her hips. "I summoned you for this meeting tonight for a very important discussion regarding Kaminari and Y/N."

"Huh? What about them?" The redhead interrupted curiously.

"On that note, has anyone else noticed Y/N only ever runs away when Denki's near?" Sero pointed out, humming whilst poking at his lip in deep thought.

"Is this seriously what you woke me up for?"

"No! God guys, let me get to the point!" Mina pinched the bridge of her nose and sighed in frustration. "As I was saying... you must not tell anyone this information. This is top secret, and I mean top secret."

"Code red?" The sharp toothed boy asked with sweat dripping down his forehead.

"Code red." The pink girl confirmed, earning a gasp from Sero and Kirishima, and a scoff from Bakugo. "Y/N is undeniably Inlove with Kaminari. Hopelessly, in fact. From the first moment she saw him, she knew he was the one."

"Awh! That's so manly!" Kirishima wiped a stray tear from his eye and pumped his fist, moved by the forming love between his friends.

"And this concerns me how?"

"Bakugo, your sass always seems to surprise me." Mina placed her hands back on her hips, clearing her throat. "Back to the point. It is our job to bring them together." She said, her expression full of determination as she clasped her hands together.

"So that's why Y/N ran away twice? She's super shy!" Kirishima smiled to himself, picturing you as a blushing mess around one of his best friends.

"I still don't see how this concerns me."

"Yeah, she's super shy. But how do we get them together if she just runs away?" Sero scratched the back of his head, finding it hard to picture you and Denki having a proper conversation.

"We could trick her?" Mina suggested. "Or is that too mean?"

"This obviously has nothing to do with me."

"If she can't do it herself, then tricking her might be our best option." Kirishima sighed, scratching his chin as he thought of different possibilities and outcomes.

"I'm leaving now since this doesn't concern me one bit."

"Jesus, Bakugo. Don't get your panties in a twist just because we're not paying enough attention to you." Mina scoffed, earning a snicker from the two other boys and a scowl from Bakugo.

"Obviously it concerns you, Bakubro. They're your friends!" Kirishima wrapped his arm around Bakugo, hooking it over his neck, and the blonde snarled at the touch.

"Dunce face and speedy are not my friends." He sneered in reply, the word 'friends' leaving his lips like an insult. "I don't need friends!" The blonde claimed, shoving the redhead off him.

"That's kinda sad..." Sero mumbled.

"What a loner." The pink girl in front of them scoffed.

"WHAT DID YOU JUST CALL ME?!"

"Calm down! You're gonna wake the whole class up!" Kirishima threw a hand over Bakugo's mouth, and the blonde quickly shoved it off.

"Shut it! Ugh, you all suck." Mina rolled her eyes. "Alright. Here's the plan, party people. At lunch tomorrow, or today if you count the fact it's 2AM, we're all gonna sit together like usual. Y/N will be between me and Kirishima to keep her from running away. Sero, it's your job to make sure Denki's sat bang in front of Y/N, Kay?"

Sero stuck his thumb up and nodded confidently. "Consider it done!"

"Then, when the times right, Bakugo will say he's gonna go get some training in." Mina explained. "Then, Sero will say he's going to the bathroom and Kirishima will say he's gonna get more food. After that, I'll pretend that Aizawa wants to talk to me in class, so I'll leave those two lovebirds alone and hope that Y/N won't blow it."

"Does she usually blow it?"

"HOLD ON! Why the hell do I have to go first?! What if I wanna eat?"

"And what stops her from coming with you to Mr. Aizawa?"

"Uh... no, not very often surprisingly." Mina answered Sero with an overwhelmed look on her face. "And you're first because we don't trust you any place else, Bakugo. Kirishima, I'll tell her to stay and wait, that I'll be quick and that our teacher only wishes to speak to me."

"Another question," Kirishima raised his hand up like a student in class. "Isn't it a bit wrong to pair up two people based on only one persons wishes? What if Kaminari doesn't like Y/N?"

"It's Kaminari. He likes any girl! And don't get me started on Y/N, I'd kill to get her to like me like she likes him." Sero sighed, answering the redhead's question for Mina.

"Yeah... I guess you're right. But like you said, it's Kaminari. She barely knows him! Don't get me wrong, but he's not the greatest guy, you know?... especially when it comes to girls." Kirishima added, thinking to himself as a wave of concern washed over him.

"He won't break her heart on purpose! If he were to somehow break her indestructible heart, it'd be something stupid. Kaminari would never cheat on an awesome girl like her." Mina stated matter-of-factly, her index finger stuck up.

"He's stupid, I wouldn't be surprised if he did break her heart." Bakugo grumbled, hands stuffed in his pockets as he listened in closely.

"Alright guys, let's just give it a try!" Sero suggested. "I mean... what's the worst that could happen? Mina's plan might just work, and they might have an actual conversation."

"You're right, let's give it a go." The sharp toothed boy agreed, pumping his fist with a determined look.

"Fine." Bakugo mumbled, trying to mask his interest in the topic.

"Alright! Team LOVE-MISSION GO, GO, GO!" The pink girl cheered excitedly, throwing her hand out in the middle, but was met with painful silence and no response to her group action.

"The hell? You're dreaming if you think that's the team name, idiot." Bakugo groaned.

Kirishima hummed and shrugged. "I think it's cute."

"It could do with a little more work. But we can settle with that for now. Let's see how we do first." Sero confirmed, placing his hand over Mina's.

"WHAT?!"

"Hell yeah! Let's do this thing!" The redhead grinned, throwing his hand over Mina and Sero's excitedly, a wide grin on his lips.

All three of them turned to look at Bakugo expectantly, and he stumbled slightly. "This is so stupid." He grumbled, before reluctantly placing his hand on the top.

"TEAM LOVE-MISSION GO, GO, GO!" The three of them cheered, Bakugo only grumbled the words, before they all threw their hands up high.

"Now that the missions is confirmed, here are your tools." Mina reached into her drawer, pulling out four random walkie-talkies and handing each one to each person. "We'll communicate using these."

"Awesome!" Kirishima grinned, examining the device excitedly. "It's like a real spy movie. This is so cool!!"

"Now it's time for you guys to head back to your own dorms and get to sleep. We have a big day ahead of us and an important mission." The pink girl suggested, gaining nods from the rest of the team. She sighed, turning around and facing the window, looking up at the solar-yellow stars that illuminated the night sky. "Now, we can only hope Y/N doesn't fuck this up. In the end, it's all up to her."

Your eyes snapped open, and you shot out of bed with a loud and surprising sneeze.

"ACHOOO!"

"....someone must be talking about me." You mumbled, wiping your nose before going back to sleep.
