Darkside (BkDK)

~~** Do you want to play a game? **~~

Is this dumbass seriously still trying to get me together with Shitty Hair? Does he really think I'd ever be happy with anybody else? The fuck is that about? Heading downstairs like usual, an irritated Dynamight showed the letter to his seemingly as of yet undetected teachers.

"I know it reads opposite to what he specifically states but I do believe he is definitely planning to come back tomorrow to see you again. That is a good thing. Your plan is working perfectly my boy!" All Might's happiness was shared amongst everyone in light of the new development. As he and Midnight read over the letter between themselves for a second time, the Bakugo's prepared breakfast.

A few minutes later the skeletal former Number One looked to his pupil with a glint in his sunken eyes. "I know that look. What are you thinkin' old man?"

"We have an idea of sorts and I'm not sure how you are going to feel about it but I believe it will help motivate Izuku and increase our chances of getting him back sooner."

"I'm listening." Crossing his muscular arms over his well-built chest the intrigued teen did just that.

This time it was Kayama's turn to speak. "We want you to invite the class over here tonight. If that's ok with your parents of course?" An affirmative nod from both Mr. and Mrs. Bakugo confirmed their agreement to the seemingly spontaneous plan, whatever it may be. "Thank you. If he is really interested in how everyone is doing then this might just be too tempting an opportunity for him to pass up. If it works we might even be able to get our hands on him tonight and have him back with us before the morning. All Might?" Yet another quiet nod of acknowledgement met Nemuri's question. "Would you please contact Nezu and let him know we need the capture team lead by Aizawa in position and ready to make their move before dark? They should be extremely cautious, we can't risk spooking him." Without a word the statuesque form of Toshinori headed to the spare room he was occupying with this colleague to get started. "Now, to that end: Katsuki? I'm going to ask you to do something and I don't know how comfortable you might be with it. I want you to keep in mind you are welcome to decline, we can find a different way if you don't want to do this-"

"Whatever it is, I'll do it."

"You don't even know what I'm going to ask of you?"

"If it will get Deku back it doesn't matter. I'll do it."

"You really love him, don't you?" The soft expression from the deep purple haired woman would have bothered the crimson-eyed teen any other day but right now he just didn't care. Nothing mattered other than getting the Nerd back. The lack of response was all the answer the perceptive unofficial second school therapist needed. "I want you to go out to the back garden alone with Kirishima at midnight. A preset time will guarantee Midoriya's focus will be at that specific place when we are ready and make it that much easier for Shota and his team."

"Fine. All I have to do is be alone out back with Ejiro at midnight, that's it?" Arms crossed, Katsuki's clever mind began to race. He knew he wasn't exactly the best with emotions but he wasn't a big enough ass to think using the redhead was a good idea. Being alone with his self-proclaimed best friend was fine, but there was no way he was going to do anything to lead the boy on. That would be cruel.

"Just ask to speak to him alone. I believe Deku will assume you inviting the class over would be in response to his letter so he can see how his friends are. Naturally, since he seems to want you to replace him with Red Riot he'll be interested in a private meeting so that will hopefully stack the deck in our favor."

It was a somewhat simple plan but it seemed like it would work. So the Attack Pomeranian of the class set to inviting them all over.
