Deku's Point of View

I'm so glad Toga decided to help us with my plan. Sure, it took some convincing and some reconsideration in the car, outside of the jail and police station, but she agreed. When she came running back into the car, she was sobbing and mascara was running down her face once she returned to her form.

There was no way I could say those things to Kacchan. I love him way too much to ask for a divorce, I wouldn't be able to do it.

Earlier That Morning

"Okay, so you mean to tell me, you called Toga for help?" Kaminari was hyperventilating and I just nodded.

"Mido, We want to help you. We do, but are you crazy?" Kirishima asked and I just shook my head.

"There is no way I could do this myself, besides, we already made a deal. If I can get her in the Witness Protection Program to escape some old friends of hers then she'll do whatever I need her for," Kirishima and Kaminari seemed impressed with my idea, and that wasn't even the whole plan.

"So, basically from what I understand. You expect me to pretend to be you, break your husband's heart, run out of the place crying and emotional the whole time, and to let you all listen in with an earpiece?" Toga asked and Kaminari just shook his head yes.

"Don't forget to trace your steps and to count how many security cameras there are and where they are located," I reminded and Toga just sighed.

"You are all crazy," The three of us burst into laughter and Toga looked at us in confusion.

"You do realize that you were the one involved in the League?" Kirishima asked, attempting not to burst into laughter again.

"Not to mention that you participated in the Kamino Ward and still very much obsessed with blood," Kaminari added and I just wheezed.

"Okay, I get it. But this is pretty insane, and I get the easy job," Toga's words were true, but I was desperate.

Back to the Present

"You did a great job," I praised Toga and she just smiled, wiping away her tears. She sniffled quietly into my arms. To be honest, I needed a hug just from listening to the conversation, and it broke my heart. Warm tears slid down my cheeks, and a lump had formed in my throat.

"Well you were crying like it was a Nicholas Sparks film, and you weren't even there," Kaminari teased and I just childishly stuck out my tongue towards him.

"I saw fifteen cameras towards Bakugou's cell and maybe ten guards," I just nodded and began taking notes on what Toga had seen.

"Anything else important?" Toga just shook her head no and I shut my notebook.

"But Izuku, he does love you. My tears were real, it was if I was you. I almost wanted to run into his arms and hug him," I suddenly grew possessive and let out a small growl.

"That's my man! DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH HIM!" Everyone just laughed at me and I just rolled my eyes, trying to cover up my embarrassment.

"So, Mido, what do we do now?" Kaminari turned towards me, and a mischievous smile sprawled itself onto my face.

"I need to call a friend for some help. For now, how does lunch sound?" Kirishima nodded and we dropped Toga off before getting something to eat.

"I have to say Midoriya, don't you think lying to Bakubro is a bit much?" Kirishima inquired as I silently ate my soup.

"At first I was hesitant too. But if the guards think we aren't on speaking terms, then they don't suspect us for when we 'bail him out'," Kirishima and Kaminari just stared at me in disbelief and I just giggled.

"Look, guys. I know Kacchan wouldn't just assault a cop for no reason, and I'll be damned if Endeavor and all those corrupt cops get away with this."

"That's very impressive," Kaminari praised and I just sarcastically bowed.

"So, who is this friend of yours that we need help from?" Kirishima inquired, and soon all of class 1-A waltzed in and crowded around the booth the three of us were currently seated at.

"No fucking way," Kaminari's jaw dropped and I just snickered at the couple's reaction.

"That's right fuckers. We're here to bust out Bakugou," Sero announced as he took a seat next to me.

"Midoriya! It's so good to see you!" Mina squealed as she pulled me up into a tight hug.

"Now Ashido, it's Bakugou now," Iida reminded and we all just let that sink in for a minute.

"We're going to still call you Midoriya," Everyone just nodded and began pulling up chairs and ordering food.

"So Midoriya, what's the plan?" I just choked on my soup and burst into a coughing fit when Sero asked this so blandly.

"Idiot, we can't talk openly about this in public," Jirou advised and Kirishima just faced palmed.

"Thank you," I mouthed to Jirou and she just smiled kindly towards me.

"We will discuss the plan at my place. But for now, let's eat," Soon everyone dug into their dishes and enjoyed a satisfactory lunch with good friends.

Once we paid the bill, everyone drove back to the condo in Repaways. There, I sat everyone down in the movie room and stood in front of the screen. Like a Sargeant in combat, instructing their troops.

"Listen up. We all know that Kacchan has been arrested this morning thanks to the homophobic and sexist Endeavor. Do we have any leads to try and get him out a legal way?" No one spoke up, and I grunted in frustration.

"Why don't we just go with the original plan? It sounded like a great bonding experience!" Sero pointed out, and soon everyone agreed.

"I just wanted to try and do things the easy way, but since we don't have any evidence, it's back to plan A," Soon everyone became chipper and began to talk amongst themselves. Now I know how Mr. Aizawa felt.

"So, Toga told me there is a total of fifteen cameras that lead to Kacchan's cell. Five by the entrance, five by the pat-down station,  two by the elevator, and the final three all watching Kacchan."

"First of all, we need to be smart about how we are doing this. Iida, it's your job to make sure everything goes according to plan with group 1, if you need backup, group 2 will come in. Second, we're class fucking 1-A. So we need to be badass. Kirishima and Todoroki, it's your job to make sure we are all prepared mentally and physically for this mission. I know it's been a while since we've used our quirks for something like this, that requires this much stamina and fast analyzing. Third, we need to be in style but not be suspicious. Aoyama, I'm putting you in charge of our disguises designs and Kouda, I'll need your help with something important later."

"That's it for now, and yes I made spreadsheets for your assignments. Do not argue with me, I'm being hormonal even though I'm male. This is my coping mechanism, and TOKOYAMI PUT THE PLASTIC KNIFE DOWN! Besides- No Sero, I am not being a mom. I'm just thinking carefully about this and I have way too much time on my hands," The room soon erupted in laughter once Tokoyami put the plastic knife down, calming his slight rage for basically being placed back in elementary school.

When everyone got to work, I began to run over my plan on who would do what. This was going to take effort, insanity, and balls. But Kacchan is not rotting in some cell for five years before I get to see him again. Before I get to kiss him, run my hands through his hair, hold him close to me, touch him, be intimate with him, whispering sweet nothings to each other. I wasted a whole damn year, seven months, fourteen days, and thirty-six hours without him by my side. And every minute of it was absolute hell. No doubt, I would have been happier with him. This time I wasn't going to be stubborn and walk away. I made the mistake to let go of what we had, but I won't let history repeat itself. Plus, what terrible of a husband would I be after vowing to stand by Kacchan the rest of my life, and let something as brave as this mess it all up?

"Hey Midoriya, what are you doing?" Iida asked, carrying two mugs of warm coffee and walking into Kacchan's office.

"Oh just looking over the plan. I think it may just work," I smiled and motioned for Iida to sit with me when he handed me a mug.

"It looks pretty solid. Never would I believe I would see the day Izuku Bakugou creates an elaborate plan to make a prison break," We just smiled and enjoyed our coffee.

"Hey, Iida?"

"Yes, Midoriya?"

"What if something goes wrong?"

"Well then, we gave it our best. But that's not how the Izuku I knew thinks. The Izuku I knew was always optimistic and thought of the best strategies."

"Thanks, Iida. I needed that."

"Now why don't you come and join everyone else watching A Quiet Place in the movie room?"

"You know I hate horror movies, and I only watch them when I have Kacchan to hold onto."

"And that is why Ashido bought you a body pillow," Iida chuckled as he took out a bag. Then he took out a body pillow of Kacchan in his hero costume, smirking.

Warm tears slowly flowed out of my eyes, and I just sat there in awe. Soon I ran over to Iida and embraced him, so grateful for his friendship and empathy. Sure I had been extremely emotional today, but I guess my situation was an exception.

"Thank you," I quietly mumbled as he just comforted me. Soon I felt another body join us, and another, and soon there were several others joined in the embrace.

"We will always be here for you Midoriya," Uraraka reassured.

"You guys are the best," Then I broke the embrace, and I walked downstairs with my friends. I tightly clung to my body pillow of Kacchan, sure it wasn't the real deal. But it would have to do for now.
