Halloween special Part 1

I LOVE THIS TIME OF YEAR!

Everyone was scared of everything and you could dress up as whatever you wanted, and the parties were great! Of course, most people dressed up as their favourite pro-hero, but I preferred the more traditional approach. Ghost made out of a sheet, cape and plastic teeth vampire, fake blood zombie. I had done some variant of each of these when I was younger.

It was October 15th at UA and we had been called to an announcement by Principal Nezu. "Hello dear students" the talking mammal said as he stood behind the podium, presumably on a chair, "as I'm sure most of you know, in two weeks all-hallows-eve will be upon us". This caught the attention of most of the students present...

"This is a waste of time" Bakugon mumbled.

"To celebrate this, each class will put on a presentation of their choosing. Be prepared to scare the pants off each other" the vice-principal finished before stepping down and letting someone else speak. Midnight, in her usual skimpy outfit, walked up and began speaking "the presentation will take place on October 30th, it must be less than five minutes. You may bring whoever you wish and wear a costume of your choosing. Within reason, of course" she finished, adding a seductive wink at the end.

Fifteen days. Fifteen days to create the best Halloween presentation we could. I looked at my classmates to see their reactions, most of them were excited to create something fun, sans Bakugo who was now seething at being forced to do this.

My mind was racing with ideas. I could easily use my transformations to add an extra spook factor to it, but would they allow me? I'd have to ask when I had a moment ot myself. Iida and Yao-Momo would need to approve whatever I came up with. But in the end. I knew EXCATLY what we should do.

October 16th

Most of the class and myself were sitting at a lunch table, talking about my idea for the presentation. "I like it, but could we really treat the audience in such a way?" Iida asked, his hands moving in that robotic way they do. "It should be okay as long as we don't make physical contact with them" Yao-Momo explained, "besides, they should know what they're getting into, signing up for a Halloween presentation" I replied. I felt a hand smack my arm, which had been leaning against the table. "We can't touch the audience and that's final" Yao-Mo told me, "spoil sport" I pouted with my lips slightly pursed and arms crossed over my chest.

"Okay, to get this done we'll need more than just the teacher's permission" Iida stated out loud, his finger and thumb pinching his chin. "We won't be able to do it at all without the owner's permission" he continued, though I already had an answer to that. "Don't worry, my dad's agency still has some pull over seas, shouldn't take too long" I informed him.

"If you can get that done, I can do the background music" Kyouka told us, making me chuckle "we're going to need you to do more than that babe, I'm not gonna be the only one on that stage singing" I replied, a cheeky smile on my face. She suddenly blushed bright red at the mere thought of singing on stage, in front of hundreds of people. "Don't worry, I'll be up there with you all the way" I replied, resting my hand over her's. This seemed to calm her down somewhat, but I could tell she was going to be nervous no matter what I said.

"What about the rest of us?" Toru asked, her interest in the whole thing clearly piqued. "I'll explain as we prepare, but I have roles for you all" I informed her.

I looked around the lunch hall for my desired targets. I spotted both of them leaving the hall. I quickly stood up from my seat and rushed over to them, eventually catching up with them as they reached the exit. "Bakugo, Kirishima, wait up." I said as I reached them, "what do you want?" he asked, his intense stare attempting to burn a hole into my skull. "We were planning something our Halloween presentation and I was wondering if you would take part" I asked, though I could already tell the answer already. "There's no way I'd stoop so low to help you losers out!" he cried, catching the attention of some of the other students. "Come on Bakugo, it could be fun..." Kirishima began, however I cut him off.

"I will pay you 3000 yen to change your mind"

"... fine"

"Whoa, that way was easier than I thought it would be" Kirishima said, staring at the retreating form of Explosion Boy. "Thanks for the invite, let us know how we can help when you guys get started" Kirishima told me as he began following his friend.

After school, I was sitting around, waiting for my guardian to arrive, during which I put in a call to my dad's old agency. They said they would get back to me as soon as they had word. I started flipping through the channels until I heard the door unlock. I looked over and saw Midnight had walked through the door.

"How are you doing?" she asked, flopping down on the couch next to me. "Waiting for my old man's agency to get back to me" I replied, causing her to raise an eye brow. "Am I allowed to know why?" she asked, turning over to face me and giving me a seductive smile and leaning on her arm as it rest against the head of the sofa.

I turned to face my teacher/girlfriend and coyly smiled at her. I leant forward, as if to kiss her, and she reciprocated. We were mere centimeters apart when I smiled cheekily and suddenly called out "nope". I quickly shot up and ran to my room before she could do anything. Teasing the seductive teacher was more fun than it should be...

"Oh god, I'm turning into her".

October 20th

After receiving permission from the rights holder, we had begun preparation for our presentation and each of us was working hard. Yao-Momo was making the costumes while Iida took down everybody's measurements, which he had insisted on doing to get the best results. Izuku, Tsu and everyone else were going over their roles while they were on stage. Jirou was helping direct them in signing so they at least sounded decent. Lastly, me and Bakugo were rehearsing our lines of the songs and trying to at least look like we were getting along.

"No, that's my line!" he yelled in my face. "But it's in the wrong octave and you're already singing the last line" I replied, pointing to the parts on the sheets we had.

Taking a break from that, Bakugo and Jirou switched places. His directions were... rather unorthodox, but they worked in some ways. Jirou sat down and looked at the sheets, which had been highlighted in who was signing what. Bakugo was yellow, I was green and Kyouka was blue. She had the higher pitches, I was mid and Bakugo was low. "Still hard to believe he took music classes" Kyouka muttered, looking at Bakugo's aggressive stance and wincing at the look our choir was giving him. "Honestly it's the only thing we ever agreed on" I shrugged, giving her a smile.

Kyouka looked at the pages with a nervous expression. "I don't know if I can do this Ben, all those people" the purplette confessed, her hair covering her eyes. "I've never sung to a crowd before" she finished. I smiled softly and wrapped my arm around her shoulders. "You've sung to me before, and the girls. We all love it" I told her "besides, if you get nervous, just try to imagine them in their underwear" I joked, making her chuckle. "Just don't go thinking their hot, okay?" I replied, pointing at her accusingly. "Perv" she muttered, lightly smacking me in the ribs, "blame Midnight, she's a bad influence".

I slowly leant over and placed my lips against her forehead as a way to calm her down. "You'll be fine" I told her as I got up from my seat to allow Bakugo to practise with Kyouka.

October 21st

I was currently helping Mina out with her role in the presentation. She had to pop out from a hiding spot when her que came up. She couldn't sit still for very long and it was a cramped space. "It's so tight" she complained as she crouched down, causing me to chuckle from the unintentional in innuendo. Mina turned towards me with an in impressed look on her face. "Not helping" she deadpanned.

I thought for a second, before coming up with an idea. "Give me five minutes" I told her, before running off to the support course. I reached the door and began rapidly knocking on the door. Power-Loader opened the door with an irritated look on his face. "Mr. Tennyson, why are you disturbing my class?" he asked. "I need to borrow Hatsume for our performance" I said rather quickly, "alright, but next time try not to disturb other classes". I looked at the classroom next to Hatsume's and saw several students looking at me with annoyed faces.

"Hatsume, good to see you again" I called out to her at her work bench... surrounded by gadgets and tools. "Oh, hey cutie. What brings you to my workshop?" she asked, leaning on my shoulder and poking her finger into my chest. "I need you to help create something for my girlfriend" I replied.

Several hours later and I presented the solution to Mina. She climbed into her hiding place once again and found it to be far bigger than before. "How did you do this?" she asked, looking around her at the expanded space she had. "Bigger on the inside" I replied with a cheeky smile. Mina just looked at me with a raised eye brow. "Grey Matter and Hatsume from the Support Course" I explained.

"Well, thanks babe. You always look out for us" Mina told me, placing a kiss on my cheek. "My pleasure, my lady" I replied with a gentlemanly bow.

October 22nd

"Stand still"

"Still don't see why I need to be shirtless for this"

"It's for the best fit"

"Riiight"

Yao-Momo was currently measuring me for my costume. We were in a separate classroom that wasn't in use and she had convinced me to remove my shirt and was currently wrapping her arms around my chest to get the measuring tape around me, causing her breasts to press against my chest. "Definitely not complaining" I muttered, my eyes focused anywhere but the beautiful girl in front of me.

"Huh?" Momo asked, before noticing our situation. Her face suddenly lit up a bright red. I was expecting her to freak out and call me a pervert, but what she said caught me by surprise.

"Well, it's natural you'd be feeling like this"

My eyes shot open and looked down at my black-haired girlfriend. She was looking anywhere but my eyes as her blush seemed to persist. I smiled slightly. It was nice to see Momo growing more confidant, but I could tell we weren't ready for that step yet. "I understand what you mean, but I would never do that until you were ready" I explained, my thumb and fore finger resting on her chin in an affectionate way.

I leant forward and gently kissed Momo. There was no lust behind it, but neither of us needed it. We stayed like that for a few seconds until we realised how much time was left. We rapidly began taking the rest of the measurements, which meant me standing in a t-pose for ages, and Yao-Momo said she would finish up at home.

October 23rd

It was after school and I was waiting for the girls to exit the changing rooms. They and decided to show me their costumes, though Uraraka had elected to wait until later to do her's. I was scrolling through my phone, looking at some of the pictures I had saved. Most were of me and my girls on multiple dates. But some were of my family. Me, my aunt and mom going out to a festival a few years ago. I had wanted to see my uncle but he was busy with police work. He had given my aunt a toy car from America as a way of apologising.

They had both worn Kimonos and looked incredible in them, despite being in their forties. We spent the whole day there, playing the games, going to the shrines, eating the foods. I wanted to use my quirk to win, but my aunt worked for the government and had thoroughly told me off for even thinking about it. She had said my dad did the same thing when he was younger, so she wasn't surprised I was the same.

I felt a hand tap my shoulder. I looked up and found a floating dress. It was black and white, which fit the coulour scheme we were going for. It looked like it was made out of patches, which is what were going for. Toru put her hands behind her back "what do you think" she asked, cutely. I smiled and took a step back to get a better look, "I'm not sure whether to ask you for a dance or faint with fear" I joked. She chuckled and did a twirl to show off the back of the dress. "You look incredible" I told her.

"Yay!" she called and latched her arms around my neck. I twirled her around and gave her a smile. Her bubbly nature was always so infectious.

"The others will be a few minutes" she told me, before taking my hand. "Come on, I wanna try something" she said, taking me a few steps away. We stopped and I felt her place her right hand on my shoulder and out stretch her left while it was still holding mine. We stayed like that for a few seconds before Toru began moving to an invisible rythme. I had never danced before so it was hard to pick up at first but eventually I got the hang of it. We moved in tandem with each other, her patchwork dress swaying as she moved. I hadn't realised Toru would be into dancing, but looking back at it, definitely seemed like something she'd enjoy.

I twirled her around a few times before bring her in and dipping her. She chuckled at this, before I felt a soft pair of lips touch mine. I closed my eyes and enjoyed the invisible kiss, bringing us back up to a standing position.

We stayed like that for a while, until we heard clapping from the girl's locker room. We separated and looked over to see the girls standing there watching us, each of them smiling and cheering on our little performance.

October 24rd

It was now less than a week before the performance and I was finally beginning to feel like we were ready. Bakugo had found a better place doing the instrumental cover of our chosen song so that left me and Kyouka to sing the lyrics. I was walking to class when I heard something from Class 1-B. I checked the time on my phone and found I still had a few minutes before the class, so I decided to stick my head in and see what they were doing.

I softly opened the door to see the entire class had dressed up as zombies. I couldn't tell what they were planning, but it looked fun.

"Well, well, what is this?" I heard a familiar, nasally voice call out "a rat from next door has come snooping". I turned towards the voice and found Monoma was looking right at me. "Hey guys" I said, waving awkwardly. "I heard you outside and just wanted to say, you all sound great" I told them, before slowly backing out the door. "Well anyway, I've gotta get to class so... see ya".

"Hold on!" I heard a soothing voice call out. I turned around to see Kendou had followed me out. "You really think we sound good?" she asked. "Yeah, can't wait to see what you guys do out there" I told her, giving her a thumbs up. She gave me a kind smile and laced her fingers behind her back. "Thanks, that means a lot" she said, almost... nervously?

"What's up?" I asked. She looked away from me for a second "Well, ever since the sports festival, we haven't really spoken" she said. I thought about it and realised what she meant. During the second round of the sports festival, I had asked her out as a way of throwing her off balance. "I'm sorry if I over stepped, I didn't have much time to think of anything else" I replied, rubbing the back of my head. "It's fine. Actually..." she started. She came over to me and placed something in my hand. "That's my number, call me and we can go to a Halloween party together" she explained. I was shocked at first, but smiled and placed the piece of paper in my pocket. "Sure thing" I told her, before walking to my class and attending the lesson.

October 28th

It was a couple of days before our performance and I had been thinking who to invite. Yu had yet to get back to me and Melissa had a project going on, though she would definitely watch if I could set something up. I wanted to invite my mom, but with her current condition, they it wasn't safe to move her.

I went to visit her that evening, escorted by Uncle Toshi. We checked in and passed all the security points as we made our way to her hospital room. When we reached our destination, I saw a doctor leaving her room. "Ah, Mr Tennyson, I was just about to call" he stated. "Your mother has started regaining consciousness, though she's very week" he told me.

My breath came out uneven. I was so scared she would never wake up, I hadn't considered she might be okay.

"Can I see her?" I asked.

"She might still be asleep, but you can go in" he told me.

I walked in and, despite seeing it many times before, was horrified by what I saw.

My mother, hooked up to tubes and machines. Her entire left arm was missing, having been amputated when they realised it had been too badly damaged. Her face was bruised and there was a large scar above her right eye. Her usually shinny black hair was tangled, messy and clearly hadn't been washed.

I made my way over to her left and took a seat. The mask over my face made breathing even harder. I placed the flowers I brought with me beside her and...

I wanted to hold her. To throw my arms around her and tell her I was sorry. But anything I did could hurt her even more than she already was.

Julie Yamamoto Tennyson, once so strong, was now lying on a hospital bed, half dead... because of what that monster had done.

Me and Uncle Toshi stayed with her for a couple of hours. I wanted to stay longer, but visiting hours were over and it was clear she wasn't going to wake up.

We left the hospital in absolute silence, even got into the car without so much as a sound coming from either of us. Until I made my declaration.

"Uncle Toshi..." I began "I've made my decision, I'm going to kill him"

October 30th

It was finally here. Our big performance. I fiddle with the cuffs of my white shirt under my black waist coat. The face paint felt weird, but I could get used to it.

The others had already taken their places. All we were waiting for was the opening notes so that me and Kyouka could take our places.

I looked at my short girlfriend next to me, who was dressed in a fancy costume similar to mine, but with a skirt instead of trousers. I reached over and slipped my hand in her's. We couldn't say anything due to the mics that were attached to us, but she knew what I was trying to say.

Finally, they opening notes began to play, and Kyouka and I placed my hands on the doors.
