Chapter Text
Midnight’s whip cracks. “Todoroki is out of bounds! Great job on second!”
Shinsou is back on his feet now, staggering as his leg regains feeling. Soon, he’s covered in purple sparks brighter than Izuku has ever seen them since Shinsou learned to control his quirk. This really isn’t good. Izuku’s feet feel heavy as he rushes Shinsou. He has to end this quickly. His opponent meets him halfway, cement crumbling under his feet. Shit . “Shinsou, tone it down!” Izuku warns. Shinsou seems to ignore him.
Izuku ducks a punch which probably would have sent him flying out if he stayed in one piece. He swings his foot up, catching the back of Shinsou’s neck. Izuku pulls his foot down with all his strength. Shinsou hits the ground hard . He doesn’t get back up.
“And Shinsou is down for the count! Good job to all…” Midnight’s words grow faint. Izuku takes a step forward to leave the arena. And another. His legs start to give out. He starts falling toward the cement of the arena floor.
“ Mmmm, whatcha saaaaaaaay ,” Shinsou sings, pushing himself up from the ground with a shiteating grin.
“ CUT! ” the director yells.”Come on, Shinsou, that was a good take!”
“But it was an even better outtake,” he replies with a grin.

“Take three, action!”

He starts falling toward the cement of the arena floor. Izuku ducks his head, rolling into a somersault. He rolls up to his feet, spreading his arms with a dazzling smile.
Todoroki and Shinsou clap. Bakugou wolf-whistles. “Thank you, thank you! I’ll be here all week!”
“ CUT! ” The director rubs his brow. “God, why’d they give you four a scene together?”
“Just to piss you off,” the four boys chorus before bursting into laughter.
