a prison AU since i haven't read one around here. enjoy!

"Oi, new Fish coming through!"

Izuku Midoriya wasn't sure if he was going to pee his pants or cry first. If it wasn't for the not-so-gentle white-haired guard that was nudging him into the general direction he was supposed to go towards, he was sure that his legs would've stopped moving.

"Look, he's trembling like a baby bird!"

"Shaking like a leaf!"

"Just one fish today? He's stealing all the spotlight!"

The laughing around him had his armpits sweating through the orange jumpsuit. If his hands weren't handcuffed together, he was sure that he would've bitten off all his fingernails. The looks that some of the prisoners had him reeling in panic.

"Settle down ya'll."

Izuku spun in relief to meet his savior. The nice guard that spoke glared at the inmates with dead tired eyes and a baton in his hand. Immediately, the entire cell became quiet and focused their curious and hungry eyes on him.

"This is Prisoner 7150," was all the nice guard said before he left.

The door shut with a clang.

His fellow inmates stared at him.

Half of them had dark shadows cast over their faces, and the other half had menacing grins. There were too many guys to count that was buff and had tattoos. Most of them had more piercings than he had fingers.

He stared back.

They grinned.

"H-Hi, my name is I-Izuku M-Midoriya"-he stammered out and bowed-"Nice to meet you all!"

It was like the atmosphere had suddenly changed.

"The new fish is sooo adorable!" Someone squealed.

"Hey bro! Name's Kirishima, nice to meet ya!"

The redhead who just spoke extended his hands to shake his. As Izuku clasped the man's rough and calloused hands, he couldn't help but notice the intricate tattoo sleeve on his arm. When he looked up, a pair of ruby eyes were shining with curiosity.

"So what did you get into Yuuei Prison for?" A grinning blond asked, "Theft? Drugs? Murder-"

"No, no, no!" Izuku was horrified.

He waved his hands in front of his blushing face, mortified that someone would think that he could've killed another person. More people crowded around him and he squeaked.

"Then what did you do? Yuuei has max security!"

"I... Uh, trespassed a zoo-" Izuku said.

"What for?"

"You don't even look like an adult!"

"Killing a lion?"

"Dang, kid!"

"What happened?"

"Well I saw a bunny and I reallywantedtosaveitfromthelionthatwasabouttokillitand-" Izuku mumbled.

"Woah, kid, slow down."

"Well I saw a bunny and it was trapped inside the zoo. It somehow got into the lion's enclosure and the lion looked like it was about to kill it so I took a stick and threw it at the lion. And then the zookeepers demanded compensation for the attack and then said I was trespassing, and then the judge decided to give me a thirty-six-month sentence because I couldn't pay the bail..."

Somehow because of that rant, he felt better. His chest felt a little lighter and the reality of the situation wasn't as bad as he thought it was. If all the people were as nice as Kirishima, then he was sure he could make it through.

"Well, that sucks, man." The blond haired man grimaced, "If it feels any better, I climbed an electricity pole because I saw a cat up there. Maybe it's because of my dyed hair and piercings, but the police claimed that I was trespassing and causing civil disobedience-so here I am."

Izuku stared at the energetic blond man with his jaw wide open.

"Yikes."

"At least I got to meet my bros here! Speaking of which, where's Bakubro?"

"He is most definitely asleep," A blue haired man said.

Izuku stared openly at the blue-haired man in front of him. Sure, his green hair was strange, but the man in front of him had dark blue hair! The only other person he knew that had blue-hair was the retired FBI Tensei Iida. On top of that, the man in front of him looked nothing like a delinquent because of his stiff posture and metal-framed glasses.

"A-Are you by any chance related to Tensei Iida?"

The blue-haired man flushed, "Y-Yes, I am his younger brother, Tenya."

Izuku stared in awe.

"Never mind that!" Tenya's hands did a strange chopping motion, "Do you know where you are about to inhabit?"

Tenya certainly had a strange way with his words.

"Y-Yeah, Cell Block C8."

Immediately after he said that the whole room went silent. Some of the inmates that had been playing chess even froze, their pieces still in their hands. Another inmate choked on his water. From all the attention that was focused on him again, Izuku immediately started to get nervous.

"D-Did you just say C8?"

"Wait but isn't that Stains' Block?"

"Definitely Stains' Block."

"New Fish from last week disappeared after two hours with him."

As the other inmates kept talking more and more about his supposed roommate, Izuku turned paler and paler. He even could hear some of the gossip coming from the chess table about how Stain had somehow poisoned one of the previous inmates with sugar.

"Guards Aizawa and All Might had to go in there personally to restrain Stain."

"Oh God, poor Izuku-"

"WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON HERE? I'M TRYING TO NAP GODDAMN WHY IS IT SO HARD FOR Y'ALL PIPSQUEAKS TO KEEP QUIET? I'M GOING TO KILL WHOEVER IS MAKING THIS MUCH NOISE!"

"Oh crap, that sounds like Kacchan," Izuku muttered underneath his breath, "Ah crap."

The entire room seemed to scatter at the sound of the man's booming voice. Immediately, the people surrounding him scattered and the floors vibrated from angry stomps. Only Kirishima and the blond-haired-man-who-had-climbed-up-a-pole had stayed in the general area.

"Bakubro, this New Fish is assigned to C8! We have to save him!"

"He's going to get completely destroyed!"

"Who the hell-"

The man's voice died out when he saw Izuku.

"H-Hey Kaachan-" Izuku twiddled his thumbs nervously, "Remember me?"

If Izuku wasn't in prison, the sight before him would've been amusing. His childhood best friend, Katsuki, had his mouth closing and opening like a fish. His angry expression went from a look of pale horror to a mask of sheer confusion.

"DEKU? WHY THE HELL IS THIS SHITTY NERD HERE? DID YOU WANDER HERE ON ACCIDENT? WHAT THE HELL-"

The door slammed open and the mean, white-haired guard strode out. Katsuki's hands, which had been unconsciously semi-strangling Izuku, went still. Izuku's mouth went slack when the guard glared at him.

"Katsuki Bakugo, keep your voice down before I forcibly do so."

"Yes... Sir," The blond haired man seethed.

"Good. Prisoners, it is time for Roll Call and Curfew."

"So, Kaachan huh? How cute-"

"Shut the hell up!"

Kirishima didn't even have to look to see Bakugo's face heat up.

"Bakubro, Izuku isn't going to survive tonight. There's no way. Remember last time? Stain managed to gouge out both the Fish's eyes and cut off both of his legs and there was still somehow not enough evidence to get him caught. Do you think-"

"Shut the fuck up, shitty hair."

Bakugo rolled onto his side and strained his ears against the cell wall. To his surprise, there was no noise that came from the block next door. No screaming, no liquid hitting the floor... It was just silence.

And he felt strangely relieved.

"Chill, Kaachan."

"Non, non, non, I bought earplugs from the missionary just for today... But new Fish hasn't made a single sound yet. How interesting," Aoyama murmured, "Not that it's not bien."

"From the rumors that I have heard, he has killed silently before," Tokoyami replied.

It was an uneasy night in the entire prison. Everyone waited with baited breaths for any sound that came from Cell Block C8. Even Sato, who had a habit of eating in the middle of the night, hadn't even dared to touch a single cookie.

For the next eight hours, it was a waiting game.

"Prisoner 1312!"

"Here!"

Everyone was answering absentmindedly. Even Guard Aizawa, who was in charge of doing the Roll Call, kept glancing at the empty spot next to Stain. There was more and more uneasy shuffling in the crowd, and pitying glances were thrown towards the empty spot as he got closer to the end of the page.

"... Prisoner 7150."

Silence answered him.

Everyone stared at the empty spot as if Izuku Midoriya could suddenly appear.

"And another bites the dust-"

"Wait, wait, I'm here! Sorry I was late!" A panicked voice answered him, "I thought roll call was in the cafeteria!"

Izuku Midoriya came bursting through the double doors and into the common room. His gasping breaths signaled to everyone that he was very much alive. More than ten pairs of eyes searched for wounds and any dried blood.

Shocked eyes stared at the green-haired boy.

"P-Prisoner 7150?"

"Here!"

"Y-You're alive?"
