A/N: I don't know if anyone here is into Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir, but I did an MHA crossover fic with that franchise. It's titled The Four Horsemen.

Another day of classes down, and another few hours of freedom for Deku and Todoroki. Today, Deku had a little question for Todoroki:

"Shoko, I'm curious…"

"Yes?"

"Do you play any musical instruments?"

Todoroki smiled. "It's funny that you should mention that because I actually play bass!"

"Awesome! I play guitar myself. I'm not the best at it, but…"

"Hold up!" said a familiar voice.

Deku and Todoroki turned around to see Jiro standing behind them.

"Oh, hey there, Jiro!" said Deku.

"Did I SERIOUSLY hear you two saying that you can play musical instruments!?"

Todoroki smiled and nodded. "We did. Why do you ask, my dear Jiro?"

"Guys, we HAVE to get together for a jam session some time!"

Deku smiled. "That'd be great! As a matter of fact, I can also sing."

Todoroki smiled. "So can I!" Her look turned more serious. "I'm not as good as Deku, though."

Jiro smiled. "Doesn't matter! What's important is that we have fun! Heck, I'm also thinking of inviting Bakugo over because he plays drums."

Todoroki clasped her hands together. "Oh, good! Then I can huggle him again!"

Deku gave Todoroki a strange look.

A little later on, Deku, Todoroki, Jiro and Kacchan were all gathered in Jiro's dorm, ready to rock out. Jiro elected to be the lead guitarist, wielding a Gibson Les Paul for the task. She was also serving as a backing vocalist alongside Todoroki.

"So, are we gonna play a specific song, or are we just gonna jam out?" asked Todoroki.

"Whatever you guys want!" replied Jiro. "Actually, I think I'll let Midoriya pick!"

"Ya better not pick somethin' crap," said Kacchan.

"Relax, Kacchan; I've got something really good in mind!"

"What?" said Todoroki, Jiro and Kacchan.

"So, this song's a little party tune, an old rhythm-and-blues boogie-woogie number called 'Boom Boom (Out Go the Lights)'."*

Todoroki stroked her chin. "I don't think I know that one."

"Neither do I," said Kacchan.

Jiro smiled. "I think I actually know that one! Play a riff or two for us!"

Deku nodded. "I will, but first, I just wanted to tell everybody that there's a little opportunity for all of us to do a little shouting out in this song. When I say 'Boom Boom', all of you will say 'Out Go the Lights', got it?"

"Got it," said Todoroki, Jiro and Kacchan.

"OK, here we go!"

Deku demonstrated the opening riff on his Fender Stratocaster a couple of times, and then Kacchan truly kicked the song in with a drum roll. Despite never having heard the song before, Todoroki and Kacchan were following along with Deku and Jiro quite well. As the late Wesley Willis once said, the band was getting down like a Magikist. Even though blues rock wasn't a subgenre that Kacchan liked, he was really putting his all into the song. Todoroki was getting into it, too. However, nobody was getting into it more than Jiro, who pulled off an extended Van Halen-esque solo in the song. After that solo, Kacchan even engaged in a drum solo worthy of Neil Peart. Of course, everyone gave an emphatic "Out Go the Lights" every time Deku said "Boom Boom". By the time the song was finished, everybody's instruments were practically smoking.

"Wow, Midoriya!" said Jiro. "You and Todoroki are some of the best musicians I've ever had the honor to jam with!"

"I'll say!" said Kacchan. "That song's never gonna be as good as death metal, but it was all right."

Deku smiled. "Glad you two liked it!"

"Say, why don't we make something up?" said Jiro.

Todoroki smiled. "Great idea!"

"Let's do somethin' metal," said Kacchan.

Deku smiled. "You want metal? OK!"

Deku banged out an E chord before improvising a riff of his own. Todoroki followed along on her Fender Precision Bass, and soon enough, the whole band was rocking out to a song that Deku called "Lightning Wind":

"Got thunder in my feet,
Got speed inside my head,
Got heavy metal speed,
I won't stop 'till I'm dead!

You won't stop me!
Your chance is slim!
I'm way too fast!
I'm called Lightning…
Lightning Wind!"

Once again, everyone played the hell out of this song, and when they were done, they all expressed their approval:

"Know what, Deku?" said Kacchan. "You can really rock!"

"Yeah, you did great for a song you just made up!" said Jiro. "Have you ever considered a professional songwriting career?"

Deku smiled nervously. "Thanks, but I don't think I'm cut out for that!"

Todoroki wrapped her arms around Deku. "You never know, honey! I mean, I thought that song could be a hit!"

"OK…I guess I'll give it a shot…"

"Good boy!"

Todoroki leaned her head against Deku's. Even if he wasn't sure of his skills as a songwriter, she made him feel like he could do anything.

Criticism is gold. Negativity and nitpicking are pyrite.
