DORMS

"Alright Izuku, your turn!" Mina shouted as she stormed down the hall towards the next room in the 1-A dorm room competition.

Katsuki cackled to himself as they approached the robot's room. Beyond that door would, no doubt, be proof of Deku's mechanical nature. Rushing ahead of everyone, Katsuki flung open Deku's door, and shouted, "A-ha! See, see! I told you all, I told you he's-"

Katsuki's voice died as he beheld what lay beyond the door. A tiny cubby, just large enough to stand in if you squeezed your arms against your sides, and plastered top to bottom with All Might posters. A single lightbulb flickered feebly in the ceiling.

"Dude, is this it?" Kaminari asked, aghast.

"Yes. This is my room."

"Why is it so tiny?"

"Tiny? Is it not spacious? I have an entire one-hundred and ninety-six nanometers of space along all three spatial axes, far outside the tolerance range of my movements in sleep mode."

"Sleep?" Ojiro asked. "How would you sleep without a bed?"

"I tried beds, once. I broke every bed frame in the store. I was not allowed to try any more beds after that."

Katsuki ground his teeth. In his heart of hearts, he knew Deku was hiding something. An epiphany struck him. Of course the room was so small. The sneaky robot had built walls and hid everything important behind it! It even put up vintage, priceless All Might posters everywhere so he couldn't knock over the walls without committing a most heinous sacrilege.

"Forgive me, All Might," Katsuki whispered as he rapped his knuckles along the wall, searching for somewhere he could cleanly punch through.

"Are you looking for the closet?" Deku asked.

"You have a closet?" Sero asked. "How tiny is it?"

"It's right through here." Deku pushed along the far wall, and it swung back. A spacious room appeared, with All Might memorabilia tastefully arranged along its many bookshelves, tables, and racks.

"Hey, you have a bed in here!"

"Of course," Deku said. "How else am I supposed to display the All Might covers?"

"You see what this all means, right?" Katsuki asked.

"Yeah, of course we do!"

"It means…"

"That Izuku got us all good!" Mina shouted. "Wow, I can't believe you got fake walls put up to make us think you slept in that!"

"But I do sleep in that."

"Good one, you really had me going there. A definite eight out of ten for the prank. All Might staring everywhere, though…" Mina shuddered. "Right, Sato's room next!"

"Is that chocolate frosting smeared around your mouth?" Ojiro asked.

"Maybe? By the way, Sato gets a perfect ten."

"We didn't even visit his room yet."

Once the students all left, the walls of merchandise folded inwards, exposing racks full of mechanical limbs, weapons capable of leveling city blocks, and gadgets assembled by Japan's brightest engineering mind.

"Hmm…" Izuku pored over the assembled machinery and took the freeze ray. "I believe I shall eat this one today."
