Looking for fic where Izuku and Shigaraki get trapped in a box together

Searching for one specific fic

Remember reading this a few years ago on Ao3 but I can't find it again. I'm pretty sure it was set in the mall- the scene where Shiggy appears and grabs Dekus neck to threaten him. Something happens and they both end up stuck in a magic box for. Days? A decent length of time. I'm pretty sure the box prevented them from starving etc? Deku talks with him and I think they bond over games and he learns more about Shiggys mentality of seeing the world through game terms? I think it ends with them being maybe friends and maybe having converted shiggy away from AFO?

If anyone knows this fic I would be so so happy!! I really like the izuku befriending shiggy fics when I can find them and I'd love to read this one again so bad
