Trick-or-treat! Have a good Halloween!

By the way, Foul Language, because Bakugou. Anyway, enjoy!

"This is Halloween, this is Halloween! Halloween! Halloween! Halloween! Halloween!"

Jirou and Izuku sang as they walked down the hall in their costumes. Jirou was dressed as a vampire, and Izuku was going as a ghost.

Jirou jumped down the last of the stairs. Izuku shrieked and giggled from where he sat perched on her shoulders.

"It's our town, we call home, everyone hail to the pumpkin song!" Mina, Kaminari, and Sero joined their procession down into the common area. The rest of the class turned to face them as they entered, smiling widely as they joined in.

"La. La. La. La-la, La. La. La. LA-LA, LA. LA. LA. LA-LA, LA. LA. LA. LA. LA!" The entire class finished.

Izuku was still giggling when Jirou finally set him on the ground.

"Everyone!" Iida drew everyone's attention to him (Izuku continued giggling, singing "La la la" over and over again. Jirou was concerned that she accidently broke him.) Iida pulled out a stack of papers, distributing them around. "I have made a map of the surrounding neighborhood, and planned our route to maximize our candy haul!"

(Hush, this is absolutely something Iida would do.)

"Shut up, Four-Eyes!" Bakugou blew up his copy. "I don't need a map! I'll get more candy than the rest of you extras!"

Iida did nothing more than adjust his glasses and hand another copy of the map to Kirishima. "I expect you'll need the extra by the end of the night." He told Kirishima.

"ARE YOU IMPLYING THAT I'M GOING WITH SHITTY HAIR?" Bakugou yelled.

"Aw, Bakubro, you already said you were!" Kirishima smiled. The rest of the Bakusquad made puppy eyes at Bakugou.

"Ugh. Fine! Come on, Deku, let's go beat these extras into the ground." Bakugou scooped up Izuku and left the dorms, the Bakusquad giggling after them. The rest of the class hurried to follow.

Izuku rode on Bakugou's shoulders, squealing and clinging to the fake wolf ears attached to Bakugou's head. Bakugou didn't wince as it pulled his hair, 'cuz he's a manly man.

(My inner Kirishima took over for a second there. Ah well.)

Things went smoothly. They got stopped many times, for people cooing over their costumes and inquiries about the hero course. Many of them got stopped for pictures and autographs. One memorable encounter was when a middle-schooler came up to Bakugou and asked for both his and Izuku's autograph. Now, Izuku doesn't know how to write yet, so she got scribbles instead. Still, it was bean sprout's first autograph. The girls of the class aww-ed.

Then they came to the last house Iida had on his map.

"You didn't say it was a haunted house, Iida-kun!" Uraraka gasped.

"Yes, well," Iida adjusted his glasses. "I figured you all would like the surprise. It shouldn't be too scary for Izuku-san."

Speaking of Izuku, he was calmly chewing on one of Bakugou's wolf ears. Bakugou was toting two very full pillowcases of candy. He didn't seem very bothered by Izuku.

After a short wait (maybe five minutes) the group entered the house. The guide split them up into pairs and sent each pair one at a time. Izuku was moved from Bakugou's shoulders to his arms, and he clung to Bakugou's shirt.

Deity above, Iida was so wrong. Izuku burst into tears in the second room. Bakugou asked the actors in there for a way out. Well, they couldn't go backwards, that would disrupt the flow of traffic. They couldn't go forward because of Traumatizing Images™, so one of the actors offered to take them through the actors' stage area. Bakugou, seeing no other way to get out, grudgingly accepted.

"Here, it's just through here." The lizard-looking guy (he kinda looked familiar…?) said, gesturing down a brightly lit hall. Bakugou saw the door at the end, the window showing the bright lights of UA just across the street.

"Thanks, or whatever." Bakugou growled.

He took three steps when a purple portal opened in his face. Bakugou's eyes widened, and he quickly tried to backpedal, but the lizard dude plowed into him, sending the two of them and Izuku through the portal.

Bakugou appeared outside, in the middle of the street. A patrolling police car jerked to a screeching halt right before it hit him. Bakugou whirled around to face the building, running at the doors and banging on them - they were locked.

"YOU FUCKERS! GIVE HIM BACK!"

Izuku was gone. And it was the villains who took him.

Bakugou knew he recognized that fucking lizard.

Sike. Trick-AND-treat. Nyahahahahaha.

Anyway.

Hope y'all have a happy Halloween! Eat candy from strangers, and don't get kidnapped!

Also, I'd like to say that I cannot keep up this update schedule any longer. As much as this pains me to do (cuz I love you all and love this story) I have to reduce updates from every Sunday and Thursday to just Sundays. I just don't have the time for it, and the stress of remembering to update and to produce good chapters is detrimental to my health and grades. I would really rather not burn out, you know? Thank you for understanding.

If you have anything you want to see, tell me via review, PM, or message me on my Instagram, projectprismatic. I will try to do all requests, but it will most definitely take time to get to your request. Please have patience.

Appreciate you all! ~BP
