33Pranker: Shoto Todoroki (Todoroki)
Pranked: Tenya Iida (Ingenium)
It was a fairly rainy day outside the Heights Alliance dorms, nothing intense per say like any lightening, or possible tornado watch, but was coming down pretty hard. This leaving our favorite class to stay indoors for the day; with the exception of Tsuyu who enjoyed the rainy weather so much that she didn't mind playing in the rain.
We pick up with Tenya Iida and Shoto Todoroki, both sitting on the couch in the common area on the bottom floor, and watching television. This was very peculiar for the both of them, since they never exactly hung out before, and neither of them were very social, however, 3 weeks ago they found a certain common interest of watching a show they liked mostly revolving round world trivia. This causing the two to create an odd daily tradition of sitting down each day it aired, and after awhile it started to develop a rivalry in trying to answer the questions presented in the game before the other had a chance to.
Today was a special occasion, they had kept score and it was a tie, both of them quite determined to settle it today. Well, Todoroki had an ulterior motive, he was far from a prankster with his normal stoic personality, but the rivalry over the game made him a little more susceptible to such behavior, so much so that he turned to the only person he really knew that would be good in the practical joke department: Mina Ashido, the prank guru as some call her now. Mina suggested a couple things that seemed a little too mean in Shoto's mind, but one fit him just right, a bit lame in her eyes but it was enough for the half n' half teen, which brings us to now.
The first set of questions had been answered by the two.
"1923!"
"Dish Soap!"
"Goat Cheese!"
"Rice!"
"The square root of pi!"
"Young adult novels!"
"All Might's hairline!?" (Author: that one was a guess on the question of what is so sharp it could take out an eye.) The competitive screaming lasted till the first commercial break.
"Phew," Iida sighed, "I will say Todoroki, you really don't give an inch during these competitions."
"I can't give you one if I tried, me and my sister watched this all the time when I lived at home."
"Really now, that sounds like a pleasant time."
"Sometimes."
"Hm? What do you mean by sometimes?"
"Well…my family has a history with being a little competitive."
"I still fail to understand, what is wrong with a little competitive spirit here and there?"
"A few broken and flipped tables is what."
"Your family has broken tables, why would anyone do something so barbaric and cruel to such refined and serviceable objects?"
"When you lose at trivia, board games, cards, darts, pool, basketball, arts and crafts."
"Arts and crafts aren't competitive though."
"They are when you both try to make an origami duck in less than 5 seconds."
"Your sister actually broke a table because she couldn't make a duck that fast?"
"No, my father did that."
"Hm, I'm surprised he couldn't."
"He kept burning it by accident."
"That sounds quite frustrating."
"Tell that to 87 piles of table wood."
"What a waste."
"Not for the fireplace," this comment made Iida mentally question the need for a fireplace, with a family that can mostly manipulate fire, but stopped himself before he remembered what he wanted to do.
"Regardless, if you'll excuse me, before it comes back on, I'm going to get my water from the fridge," with that the class rep. took his leave to the fridge for his beverage. The perfect chance for Todoroki to put his plan in motion. A slight wicked grin took his face, thoughts of Iida being frustrated and throwing a small tantrum tickled his funny bone, the excitement filled him like a glass of water as he began his first step of his evil plan.
His left arm stretched out over to Iida's part of the couch, the sheer intensity emanating from him was so powerful that it would frighten anyone who was even in close proximity to him (except Iida since…well you know). Finally, he was about to win the competition he was wanting to win for so long, and even sweeter since it was the series finale after its cancelation last month, victory was finally in his grasp as he did the amazingly epic prank.
He grabbed the couch pillow.
Ruffled it a bit.
Then, placed it back…
'I am truly diabolical," Shoto internally laughed, patiently awaiting his friend's return. Which eventually came about a minute later, coinciding with the return of the game show. Iida sat down, and immediately noticed something was off, and simply took the pillow and fluffed it back, but failing to notice that the next question had just been asked-
"Who is the famous hero, whose shouts are loud enough to make anyone go deaf?"
"Present Mic," Todoroki shouted quick as a bullet, catching Tenya completely off-guard, leaving him flabbergasted.
Todoroki was subtly and internally celebrating his victory…but not for long, as the contestant on the show was about to answer, "Who is-ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ."
Static was the only sound that filled the nearly empty room, as Todoroki and Iida sat there, wondering what could've happened, not having to sit long in confusion as their answer came in the form of their homeroom teacher walking up behind the couch.
"Whoops, guess I forgot I had to call Power Loader and tell him to take a look at this tv."
The two teens sat there in utter defeat, the competition had ended in a tie, and would never be resolved. Their spirits couldn't have been more crushed if you tossed a boulder on them.
"Hey, Todoroki."
"Yes, Iida?"
"Next time...lets just watch National Geographic."
Later that day…
Location: The Teachers Dormatories.
"Hey Aizawa," Present Mic greeted his friend who was sitting on the lobby couch, reading a book, quickly taking a seat next to him.
"Hey Yamada," the man in black stoically greeted as he turned the page.
"Did you do the thing?"
"Yup."
"And they had no idea?"
"Uh huh."
"How did they look?"
"Priceless," a grin curved the side of Aizawa's mouth.
"Is the tv actually broken?"
"Nope, just changed it to an unregistered channel."
The two exchanged a quick high five with Mic chuckling, and Aizawa still focusing on the book.
"You're cold man," Mic continued to laugh.
"Take that to heart if you ever interrupt my naps with constant shouting."
Authors Note: Hey everybody, sorry that this chapter was shorter than normal, I've been doing a lot recently and I've had this idea on the back burner and really wanted to get it out to you guys. Also I apologize for not updating this or any of my other stories for so long, I've been trying to find a job and get a new place, and have been struggling with some recent depression issues that i'm slowly getting out of bit by bit.
I know i've been giving a lot of excuses and that can get grading after awhile, I just hope i can convey that i'm always thinking about my stories, and new ways to entertain you all and i hope this chapter does just that, It was a bit had coming up with a prank for Todoroki to actually do since he isn't really a character who does that but I hope i worked it out pretty well to you all.
Either way, I hope you guys liked this one, and expect another one sometime soon after i've gotten my life balanced a bit more, I have no plans to ever stop writing and always bringing quality content to the both my fans and the fandom in general.
I hope you have a nice day, and see ya in the next one!
