Sixty-Four

The Dawn Before the Darkness

Ochako jolted awake and opened bleary eyes. The ceiling above her was unfamiliar; there were not stick on stars and planets above…where was she? She slowly started to look around the room, taking in the copious All Might posters on the wall and the All Might themed bedspread that covered her. Deku's room…that was right. They'd had a slumber party! And not the type of slumber party between friends…

She realized that her head wasn't lying on a pillow but rather on Izuku's chest. He was lying flat on his back, one arm tucked underneath Ochako and holding onto her shoulder. Ochako glanced up at his face to see his mouth slightly agape, eyes rapidly moving about as he dreamt. I wonder what you're dreaming about, she thought to herself with a sleepy smile. From her position she could hear the slow and steady beat of his heart. She felt so cozy tucked up against his side and safe under his All Might themed blankets.

There were faint cracks of sunshine poking through her curtains which meant that it must be sometime around or just a little after six am. They were supposed to arrive to their designated work study location that day by eight am sharp, so there wasn't going to be a lot of free time between now and then. Ochako glanced up toward Deku's headboard and to the All Might themed clock there; it read 5:59AM. They would have just a little bit of time before they had to separate.

As much as she would've been content to stay in her current position, Uraraka was becoming painfully aware of how full her bladder was. She was going to need to extricate herself from Deku and use the toilet sooner rather than later.

Slowly she started to squirm away from Deku who sleepily rolled away from her and onto his side. Once he was no longer touching her, she carefully slipped out of the bed, discarded her sleeping mitts and tiptoed toward his bathroom. His room felt painfully cold against her bare legs and she had to repress a shiver from the chill.

After she'd managed to quietly roll open and had closed the bathroom door, she made her way to the toilet to take care of her full bladder. As she sat on the little toilet, she looked around Deku's bathroom, smiling at the ridiculous amount of All Might that was visible. Ochako wondered if All Might had ever actually seen the inside of Deku's dormitory or had face timed with him at some point and knew the true extent of Izuku's fanboy status. Somehow, she had doubts that he realized that he permeated into this much of Izuku's life.

Once she'd finished up on the toilet and was washing her hands, she spared a brief glance into the mirror and was alarmed at how frazzled and wild her hair looked. She quickly brushed her fingers through her silky tresses before deciding it was in a more presentable state and then crept out of the bathroom.

Deku had rolled back onto his back and was snoring softly. Ochako snuck over to the bed before carefully moving onto it. She didn't move under the covers but instead lay over top of them and draped herself over the top of Deku's chest. Resting gently on her elbows, she quietly watched the slumbering boy. He looked so content there, sleeping and dreaming peacefully. She was a little surprised that he'd not woken at her added weight.

The sound of Deku's alarm—also All Might themed and chanting 'I am here'—nearly made Ochako jump out of her skin. Deku's eyes fluttered open in response to the alarm and he blinked blearily several times before glancing downward at Ochako.

"Uraraka?" His voice was still heavy with sleep. Ochako watched as his eyes swept over her face and then lowered down in the direction of her chest before sleepily moving toward her eyes. The sleep started to clear from his eyes and color began to dot his cheeks.

"Morning," Ochako said as she tilted her head to the side and smiled. "Did you sleep well?"

Deku's cheeks were continuing to darken as he began shifting in bed, scooting backwards a bit and propping himself up with his elbows. Uraraka shifted with the position change, moving from being draped over his chest to fully lying over top of him, her head now resting on her hands. She was vaguely aware of a hardness that was poking her in the low abdomen and a phrase she'd hear Mineta use once came drifting back to her, morning wood…she felt her cheeks grow warm with that realization.

"Uh, er, yeah…sorry, forgot that you slept over," Deku stuttered his gaze moving wildly between her face, the room, and her cleavage.

Should I sit up? Do I say something? Do I just ignore it? She asked herself nervously. She couldn't remember if the last time that they'd been together if something like…morning wood…had been an issue, but she couldn't remember it being an issue. Maybe sit up…like last night? Could sort of just sit up an on his lap, yeah, she thought to herself as she began to sit up and attempted to adjust herself into his lap.

Her attempt at making the awkward discovery of morning wood less awkward however, miscalculated completely. Rather than make it better she in fact made it worse since moving into his lap aligned her pelvis perfectly with his and the subsequent morning boner.

Ochako's eyes widened as that firmness made contact with her pubic bone and her cheeks began to burn with embarrassment. Ooops…made it worse, she thought to herself in a panic.

"Ura—what—oof!" Deku started, his voice rising with alarm as the feel of Ochako making physical contact with his groin reached him. He almost immediately sat up, his hands going to her waist to try and take hold of her and move her off his now raging erection. However, in his hurry to move to a seated position, he inadvertently pushed Uraraka backwards while he ended up rocking forwards, now leaning over her.

Ochako could only blink, surprised by the rapid change in their positions. She was now flat on her back, her legs now outstretched on either side of Deku, though her pelvis was still perfectly aligned with his. Deku was leaned over her, his face mere inches from hers, hands caught midway between her waist and breasts and a raging hard on between them.

"Er—sorry," Deku muttered, his gaze darting off to the side; cheeks scarlet.

"No, it's my bad…I kinda made it worse by moving to your lap…sorry about that," she replied, her voice soft. The sound of All Might chanting 'I am here' continued to echo in the background.

"I need to shut that off," Izuku said, his gaze slowly returning to Ochako's chocolatey brown eyes. The flickered away briefly back in the direction of the alarm clock before returning to her again, where they seemed to get stuck.

"Yeah; it might wake up your neighbors," she agreed.

Despite her words, neither of them made any movement to shut it off. Even with the loud and insistent chirp of All Might's voice, Ochako felt like she could somehow hardly hear it anymore; all she could really focus on was the fact that Deku was hovering over her face, his hands on the skin of her abdomen, and a foreign but exciting hardness poking into her. Without thinking about it for more than half a second, she shifted her pelvis just a little, purposefully brushing her pubic bone against the bulge that pressed against her. The effect on Deku was near instantaneous.

"Wha—what are you—Ochako?" Deku's voice was high with something like alarm or perhaps anticipation, his cheeks rosy, eyes wide but a glimmer of another emotion in them; something like desire.

"I'd, well, I think I'd like to kiss you," she said breathily and added, "actually, I'd really like to kiss you and maybe uh…make out a little before we have to leave each other…is that okay?"

Deku was silent in response. She watched as all emotion vanished from his face giving him a blank look before he blinked that that glimmer of desire she'd seen in his eyes before, returned tenfold. She could feel Deku's hands begin to wander up her torso and snake up under her tank top, his fingers perilously close to touching her breasts. "Uh huh, er, uh, yes, I'd like that—ergh, yes—yes! Let's do that. Affirmative consent!" Ochako couldn't help but giggle at the last part but couldn't giggle for long before Izuku closed the distance between them, meshing their lips together.

Ochako sighed happily into his mouth and trailed her hands under Deku's shirt and up along his back before tracing them downwards and settling on his hips. Her legs rose up to snake around his waist, pulling him flush against her. She could feel Izuku's hands full palming her breasts now as his tongue flicked against hers and she couldn't help but feel like she was getting drunk off just the taste and the feel of him.

Izuku began peppering her jawline with kisses before planting them further along her throat and neck. One hand continued to fondle a breast while the other trailed fire behind it has it dropped down low, in the direction of her panties.

Uraraka's legs tightened around Deku's waist, pushing herself up against the firmness there. The friction it created in her core was starting to make an ache of desire form low in her belly. As she moved against him, Deku let out a quiet but throaty moan in response. The sound was like a siren song to Ochako and made that feeling in her core ache with need. There were so many sounds that she'd never heard him make before; so many sexy sounds and if she was being honest with herself, that kind of excited her. Scratch that, it definitely excited her.

Deku had had to pause in his kisses because of Ochako's pelvis moving sensuously against his which gave her an opportunity to lean up and capture his lips in a kiss before moving to his ear and biting the lobe. The hand that had been travelling downward managed to drop lower and between her legs. She felt his hand settle over her and then begin gentle, feather light rubbing with the tips of his fingers. His gentle ministrations however, only seemed to increase that growing desire in her belly. He was slow and delicate and she wanted fast and frenzied.

Without even realizing what she was doing, her hands were on the bottom hem of his shirt and she was tugging it up and over his head. Izuku paused briefly to assist Ochako in removing it before one hand returned to her breasts, the other dropping back down between her legs.

Now that he was bare chested, Ochako swept a greedy gaze over his torso before her hands danced along his collarbones and trailed down along his shoulders and onto his stomach. The planes of well-defined abdominal muscles tickled her fingers and she briefly felt at great risk of inadvertently activating her quirk, but she managed to get herself under control before getting that out of control excited.

The sight of his naked torso made her want to shed her shirt too, which she began doing immediately. Deku attempted to assist but before he could even help her out of the tank top, Ochako had gotten it up and over her head. Her hands moved back to his bare skin and pulled him flush against her chest. The feel of his nude chest against hers was like the most forbidden fruit she'd ever sampled and she wanted more.

Her hands travelled lower, stopping at the waistband of Deku's shorts where she hooked her fingers and began to tug them downward; Izuku did not resist. After Ochako had shed her shirt, Deku's hands had returned to their previous positions and now the hand on her panties dipped beneath them, making Uraraka gasp at the feel of his fingers on her sex. She felt his thumb inadvertently—though it could have been with intent, she wasn't certain—brush over her clit which made her arch her back and rock her hips closer to him.

Izuku moaned into her mouth at the contact just as Ochako managed to successfully pull-down Deku's shorts and boxer briefs past his hips. A prominent erection happily sprung out in the wake of his clothes. Her hand moved upward to touch him, fingers eagerly stroking over the length and circling the tip which made Deku shudder and grunt. Ochako used her feet to tug his briefs further down his hips, well past his bum. Once they were out of the way, her hand wandered round and stroked over his bare backside, marveling at the taught muscles beneath the smooth skin.

Before Ochako could spare more than a thought for the exquisite feel of his backsides however, Deku's hands suddenly switched up what they were doing and began tugging her shorts and panties downward. She didn't resist him, excited at the prospect of feeling him flush against her with no clothes separating them.

Did she want to go all the way? No…at least, not yet. She most definitely was in the mood to blur the lines of second base, however. Why not move to third base? Why not dry hump naked? Why not stroke him with her bare hand until she pushed him over the edge? What was to stop her from pushing him onto his back so that she could sit astride him and let him first hand feel how excited he'd made her? Or even better, lower herself over his groin and run her tongue over his length just to watch what his face did? Desire was a potent drug at any age but to inexperienced teenagers in love for the first time? It might as well be the purest heroin offered to a jonesing junkie or the finest whiskey in all the lands given freely to an alcoholic struggling on their first day of sobriety.

Deku managed to get her panties and shorts down past her hips just as Ochako returned her hand to the raging erection to run her hand over it, her other hand on his hip, tugging him forward. Izuku let out the tiniest gasping moan and eagerly moved his hips closer to her. She felt one of his hands return to her center and begin to frantically stroke over her folds. It lacked skill or finesse and in anyone else, probably wouldn't have done much but for Ochako, it was just adding fuel to an already raging inferno.

A moan escaped her lips as she rocked her hips forward, closer to both his eager hand and toward the throbbing hard on. I want to touch, I want to feel you, she thought to herself as she wrapped her legs around his middle and crossed her legs, pulling him closer. Ochako suddenly felt Deku's mouth on her throat, trailing kisses down along her collarbone and onto her breasts. She felt his teeth graze over her nipples and a shiver ran down her spine in response.

"De-Deku," she huffed as the kisses broke off from her breasts and to the valley between. Ochako felt one of his hands seize the hand that had been stroking him and pull it up and away. Why? She wanted to keep touching him; she wanted to push him over the edge. But at the same time his mouth and hand on her felt so good that she wasn't really keen to resist…she could always touch him again later, or maybe even take him into her mou—

"Midoriya! Shut off you alarm clock! It's been going off for like forever! If I have to hear All Might say 'I am here' one more time I swear I'm gonna come in there and break it!" The sleepy but very annoyed voice of Mineta called from the other side of Deku's door along with a frantic and loud pounding.

"Oui! Please shut off that terrible racket! This hour is far too early for me to be fully rested!" Agreed another voice, most definitely belonging to Aoyama.

At the sound of both Aoyama and Mineta's voices both Ochako's and Deku's bodies stilled, desire replaced with cold stabs of alarm. Deku's hand was still where it rested against her; his mouth unmoving against her torso. Both teenagers now painfully aware of the continued screeching of 'I am here' on a constant loop.

The door to Deku's room rattled and Ochako felt like her heart must've stopped for a good second until she realized that the door wasn't swinging open. Good, Deku has started locking his door, she thought to herself with sweaty relief.

"Midoriya! Stop sleeping and shut that damn thing off!" Growled Mineta from the other side of the door. Mineta's words seemed to at last unfreeze him making him abruptly spring off Uraraka so fast that if she'd blinked, she would've missed the movement entirely.

"Uh, sorry guys! Sorry, got uh, er, sleeping, you know!" He called back toward them, his voice high with panic as he fumbled for the head of his bed to silence his All Might alarm clock. Ochako watched as he seemed to struggle to get to and shut off the clock but finally silence swept over the room.

"Finally. Jeez, took you long enough. You might be able to sleep with All Might shouting 'I Am Here', but normal people certainly can't! Some of us still have sleeping and a round or two of self-love to do before we officially get up!" Whined Mineta from the other side of the door.

"Disgusting! You truly are repulsive, Mineta!" Both Ochako and Izuku heard a snort from Aoyama before he spoke again. "Try to not sleep through your alarm clock next time Midoriya—some of us require a full 9 hours for optimal beauty rest!" Silence echoed after Deku's neighbors' complaints, followed by the soft sound of nearby doors closing.

Now that All Might's 'I am here' had been silenced, they'd apparently returned to their rooms. Phew, that was close, Uraraka thought to herself inwardly. Had she and Deku really been so caught up in each other that they'd completely drowned out the sound of his alarm clock? Considering the fact that they'd just had his neighbors pounding on the door, yes, they most definitely had. Oops…

Deku was still facing the head of his bed, his shorts now halfway up his backsides so that only the upper portion of his butt crack was visible. Ochako assumed that he'd managed to hike them up a ways when he'd scuttled away from her, desperate to turn off the alarm. He sheepishly looked over his shoulder at her, his cheeks bright red.

"Sorry. I got…well I got a little too into it." His voice was nothing but a soft whisper.

Uraraka shrugged back into her panties and shorts before pushing herself into a sitting position, absently grabbing her tank top and putting it back on as she sat up and gave an apologetic smile. "You don't need to be sorry, Deku. I got into it too. I just like touching you and sometimes you know, that drowns out everything else." She could feel warmth in her cheeks and knew that she likely had a face that was as red as his.

Izuku turned away from his alarm clock, eyes downcast, his pants barely pulled up over his front. Ochako could make out a little tuft of green hair poking out and idly wondered what it'd be like to run her fingers through it as she trailed her hand down lower to touch him again…stop thinking those things! Getting carried away in that kind of thinking is what got us into this situation in the first place, she chided herself.

"It um, it, makes me really happy to hear you say that. I really like touching you too and yeah, it sometimes makes everything else just fade into the background," he said softly, eyes still looking down.

My sweet, shy boy, she thought to herself in such a way that it made her stomach flutter with butterflies. She scooted forward, closer to him, and gave him a light peck on the tip of his nose. The action surprised Deku and he blinked at her in surprise. The beginnings of shy smile starting to pull at the corner of his mouth.

"I should probably head out before, well before you know," she said bashfully.

"Yeah, I guess," Deku agreed, a note of sadness in his voice. "Wish you could stay, but…yeah."

"If I stay…um…I think I'd try to ravish you," Ochako admitted with a soft laugh though she instantly regretted saying that when she saw Deku's rosy cheeks grow redder. What are you, a romance novelist? Who says 'I'd try to ravish you'?! Nobody says that! That's like the worst word ever—it basically means to take by force and that is definitely not what I want to do!

Before he could say anything in response, Uraraka quickly rose off of Deku's bed and began to silently search around the room for wherever it was that she'd discarded her bra. She somehow managed not to stumble in the dimness of the room while she searched and found the bra relatively quickly. Once it was in hand, she turned to head into Deku's bathroom to put it on but a hand seized her arm, stopping her. She turned to see that Deku had managed to silently leave the bed and now stood just behind her. Even in the early morning's poor lighting, she could see the redness in his cheeks and the anxious tilt of his mouth.

"I'd like it or well, I'd be okay with if you know, you did uh, want to er, go all the way with me some time," his voice was so soft she almost had to strain to hear it and before she could fully process what he'd said he quickly added, "but not right now! Now isn't the time…but I wanted you to know that and I, well, I, you see, I, I'd really like to uh, you know, er, go down on you before doing like all the way or stuff because then you'd probably enjoy all the way more, or at least that's what I've read er, not that I've read a lot about it, but that's what I heard—that doesn't sound any better…sorry, I'm mumble rambling!" His eyes were darting wildly around the room as if it was full of hundreds of moving objects that he was desperately trying to keep track of—everywhere but at her.

The meaning of Deku's words rolled around in Ochako's head and something akin to excitement tinged with nervousness filled her belly and colored her cheeks with an equally dark shade of red. Is he really saying he wants to lose his virginity to me and to take mine? There's no other way that I could possibly take that, right? Well at least he didn't take my stupid use of the word 'ravish' the wrong way…but do I want to lose my virginity to him? Yes! Well…eventually…though does virginity even really count if you make it to third base? I feel like oral is a pretty big sex act all by itself and what even is the definition of virginity? It certainly has more nuance to it than simply penetrative intercourse…okay never mind, stop having a Ted Talk in your head!

"When the time is right, I'd… like that…a lot," she quietly admitted.

"You would?!" Deku's voice was surprised and far louder than it should be considering that his neighbors were probably still awake and likely listening. He quieted and then said in a whisper but still loaded with enthusiasm, "you would?!"

Ochako couldn't help but giggle. "Of course! I don't know when we'd both feel ready for that but…I'd like to I guess…be…each other's…firsts." And only, whispered a painfully honest voice. I don't think I want to love anyone else the way I love him. I think I'd be okay with first and only if they belonged to Izuku Midoriya.

Izuku's eyes finally managed to land on her and stay there. "I'd like that too." There was something in his gaze that seemed to bore into her very soul and made her suddenly feel antsy as if he might actually be able to hear her inner thoughts. I love you; I love you, echoed in her head, growing stronger the longer he looked at her. If she didn't break his gaze, she was going to be at great risk of admitting the true depth of her feelings to him and she was not ready to do that.

Averting her eyes she gave a nervous smile and said, "Well I've got to er, I've got to put my bra on!" She turned away from him and woodenly moved in the direction of his bathroom. Once she reached the sliding door, she had to grope at it several times before she finally managed to catch the lever to release it from the frame and step inside.

Once she was safely tucked behind the barrier of the bathroom door, she let out a quiet breath of relief. Phew, if I looked at him much longer I really think I would've said that I loved him and I'm just not ready for that. It'd probably weird him out anyway, she nervously thought to herself as she pulled her tank top off and thrust her arms into the armholes of her bra. She had a brief struggle to hook it closed that she attributed to her current flustered state, before she put the tank top back on. She took a few deep and calming breaths to try and ease some of the anxiety she felt to try and center herself. Once she felt a little less flustered, she rolled open the bathroom door.

Izuku stood outside of the bathroom close to his desk, now wearing the blue hoodie that he seemed to favor over his tee shirt. Was he cold? The room didn't feel all that cold to her but then again she was feeling fairly hot and flustered so perhaps that was why she didn't feel like the temp was too cold. She took a step away from the bathroom and in the direction of his balcony door before she stopping and deciding that she should say something.

"Um, I guess I should get going…I can use zero gravity I think to get to where I'm going, though directing it can be a little challenging but that is why I brought my gauntlet," she explained quietly, more so to herself than to him.

"Oh, um, I was planning on using one—er my quirk to at least get you up to the roof and then I don't know, I guess lowering you down to your room with black whip or just taking you there myself…but if you want to just do it on your own and use zero gravity that's okay too," Deku suggested.

The addition of the hoodie made sense now. Despite the fact that spring was literally on the horizon, the mornings were most definitely still pretty chilly. "You're sure that wouldn't be too much of a bother? Who knows how much we'll have to use our quirks at the work study today. I don't want you to get you know, overworked or anything."

Deku surprised her then by giving a quiet little laugh and smiling at her. "No, it wouldn't be a bother and just using a little of it like this won't overwork me. Endeavor works us way harder so I've built up quite a lot of stamina and endurance when it comes to using my quirk."

Stamina and endurance, a naughty little voice repeated to her that she quickly banished. "Okay then, sure, just take me all the way there then," she agreed with a nod.

"Right!"

Ochako stopped briefly to gather up the drawstring bag she'd brought with her and put her mitts back into them. She grabbed her gauntlet and slid it over one of her wrists. She wouldn't be using it but it was the most convenient location to store it while she travelled along with Deku.

They moved over to his balcony door, Izuku pulling back the All Might themed curtains causing bright early morning light to illuminate the previously dim room. Both Izuku and Ochako had to shield their eyes and blink several times to adjust to the light of early morning sun. Once their eyes had adjusted, Deku unlocked and slid his balcony door open which was immediately followed by a nasty blast of cold air; Ochako had to refrain from shivering.

Deku quietly stepped out onto the small balcony with Uraraka close behind him. Once she was completely out on the balcony the chilly air made her breakout in gooseflesh and cross her arms over her chest to try and preserve warmth. It was still quite early in the morning and clearly the low temps of the night had yet to release their grip on the day.

"Okay, read—" Deku started, turning around to glance at her but then stopping when he took in her shivering form. "You're cold! I should've offered you something to wear," he said with a frown and then immediately began to shrug out of his hoodie. "Here, you can wear my hoodie!"

Ochako looked down at the offered garment and back at Deku. This was his hoodie and it was cold outside; surely, he'd rather keep it for himself? It wouldn't be a long trip up and over the building. She could withstand the cold weather for that short of a time.

"No, it's okay. I'll be fine!" She said with a shake of her head.

"Ochako, no, I want you to be warm. If you're worried about me being cold it really isn't all that cold to me. I spend a lot of time up in the air and have gotten kind of used to the lower temps that you experience when up high in the sky. You can just give this back to me later, after our work studies, tonight if you'd like!" The last part was said with an eye dart to the side and a blush in his cheeks.

Tonight, she thought to herself with a smile and gently took the hoodie from him. "Okay; tonight." She slipped her arms through the armholes and then zipped it up; secretly relishing in the smell that surrounded her as she snuggled into the garment.

"Tonight," he agreed with a sheepish grin and rosy cheeks. "Ready?"

Yeah!" She agreed a little too excitedly.

Izuku held out his hand to her and without hesitation she took it. He pulled her in close to him, practically molding her to his chest. His left hand wrapped protectively around Ochako while the other one pointed upward, toward the roof. A second later and they were surrounded by brilliant sparks of green electricity like bolts. Black whip lazily unfurled from his right fist and they were airborne a second later and heading toward the dormitory roof at a blinding speed. They reached the roof hardly an eyeblink later, the tendril of black whip receding into Izuku's closed fist as they hovered in midair for a moment before another line of black whip latched onto the opposite end of the building's roof.

"Homestretch!" Izuku exclaimed as they hurtled forward toward the other end of the building. Ochako briefly wondered if she'd have to help Deku navigate in the direction of what was her room but he seemed to already know it's location as he effortlessly maneuvered them in the air so that they lined up with her balcony. They touched down soundlessly less than ten seconds later.

Deku released his hold on Ochako as they stood on her balcony. She was grateful for the hoodie he'd given her. Even though their trip had been brief, it was still quite cold especially with how fast they'd been moving. She took a step away from him and reached out for the sliding door to her room but paused briefly.

"Thanks for the ride. It's kind of fun to bounce around with you and your quirk," she said with a smile as she looked back at him.

"Oh, yeah, sure, anytime," he said with a shrug and a casual tone though the blush in his cheeks indicated that he felt anything but casual. Why would he feel self-conscious about what she'd said? But before she could ask him about it, he spoke. "Guess I better get back to my room. I'll see you at breakfast and then later at the work studies!" He leaned forward to briefly kiss her on the lips before he moved away from her and crouched down, preparing to leap into the air.

"And tonight," Ochako reminded him with a little smile.

Izuku looked at her and smiled again; this one reaching all the way to the corners of his eyes. "Tonight!"

Ochako watched as he leapt into the air before turning toward her sliding door and rolling it open. Her hand brushed her lips as she stepped into her dorm room, the feel of his kiss still heavy on her lips. I can't wait for tonight, she thought to herself with a smile.

She could never have guessed that the tonight that she was so looking forward to was nothing more than a dream; the events of the upcoming hours forever changing the lives it was about to touch. The dreams of excitable youth on the cusp of turning into nightmares.

F/N: I'm about to fuck up some shit. My poor babies…tonight's the night bitches die, well some bitches.
