Chapter 19
Kaminari kept his mouth shut, but later that night he cornered Izuku.
"What the hell, Midoriya?" Kaminari hissed at him.
They were in the hall near Izuku and Katsuki's room, so the blond was trying to keep his voice down in case someone came looking for them.
Izuku did his best to imitate confusion. "What'd you mean?" He asked, his breath slightly hitching.
"You mess with your sleeve when you lie." Kaminari told him in a matter of fact tone.
"I mess with my sleeves all the time." Izuku shot back right away.
Kaminari's eyes narrowed at him. "Why're you so defensive?" He asked.
Izuku shook his head, running a hand through his hair and making sure he wasn't touching his sleeves at all. "Because you're accusing me of selling you all out to my manipulative ex. Sorry if I'm a little upset." He said, but his voice held no malice, despite how snappy his words should have been.
The taller of the two let out a breath at his words. "Midoriya, I'm just saying that you were beaten to a pulp. None of us would blame you if you told them something, anything, to make them stop. We just need to know what you said so that something like last night doesn't happen again." He said, placing a hand on Izuku's shoulder in a comforting manner.
Izuku damn near spilt everything right then and there, but Todoroki's threat of finding him and making him go through it all again, stopped him. He was terrified of his half and half ex, and no rational thoughts were running through his mind. He couldn't even think of the possibility that Kasuki and the others would be able to protect him from Todoroki.
"I didn't say anything. I'm not the mole." Izuku said after a few moments of contemplation, which did anything but reassure Kaminari.
"Midoriya, I can't help you if you aren't honest with me. If you're hiding something-"
Izuku pushed his hand off his shoulder, hardening his eyes and glaring at his friend. "I'm not hiding anything." He said, yet again.
Kaminari didn't say anything, but his face fell as he nodded.
Letting out a tired breath and pulling at his hair slightly, Izuku took a few steps back. "I'm going to Kacchan's room." He muttered before turning and walking away.
Kaminari sighed at his suspicious friend, but walked past his room and headed to the stairs. He made his way into the kitchen, telling the few people still there to get to the living room, where the rest of his group was.
"What's this about sparky?" Katsuki asked with his arms crossed. He had taken note that Izuku wasn't there.
"I think Midoriya is the mole."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Katsuki had fought against the accusations tooth and nail. He had a counter for everything Kaminari said, but it seemed that the others agreed more with the yellow haired man.
"I'm not saying he did it on purpose!" Kaminari said for the millionth time. "He probably just let it slip and doesn't want us to get mad at him so he's lying. I don't think he's purposely betraying us to Todoroki."
Katsuki just glared at him, not wanting to admit that it would make a lot of sense.
Mina rubbed her eyes in exhaustion and annoyance. "Just talk to him Bakugou, see if he'll tell you the truth." She told him, knowing that if anyone would get Izuku to talk, it'd be Katsuki.
Again, Katsuki just glared and didn't say anything else.
"This was great, glad we can all talk our problems out like adults. I'm going to bed." Tokoyami said, getting off the couch and heading towards the stairs.
Jirou grabbed Yaoyorozu's hand, pulling her up. "C'mon." She said quietly, knowing that they'd probably want to be in their room for whatever was about to happen. Whether it be Katsuki bitching out Kaminari, or him confronting Izuku.
"Yeah, let's go." Kirishima said, grabbing Kaminari. He wasn't going to let the blond hang around and piss Katsuki off more than he already was. They disappeared up the stairs, Sero followed along and sent Katsuki an apologetic looking smile.
Once the red eyed leader was by himself, he let out a breath, grabbing a vase off a shelf and throwing it across the room. He felt slightly better after it shattered against a wall.
A few minutes later, he was walking into his room, finding Izuku sitting on the bed and reading, but he looked like he was expecting Katsuki.
"How'd that go?" Izuku asked, setting the book off to the side after he saved his page.
He knew that Kaminari probably told the others that he was the most likely candidate. The shattering glass from downstairs told him that it probably didn't go well.
"Everyone thinks it was you." Katsuki said, flopping down on the bed next to Izuku and moving so he could rest his head in the other's lap.
Izuku looked down at him, his eyes holding sadness in them, but for what, Katsuki wasn't exactly sure. "What'd you think?" He asked softly.
"I don't know." The blond whispered.
A crash from downstairs, much bigger than the vase, made Izuku stiffen and his eyes widened.
Katsuki was up in a flash, grabbing his fun as he headed out the door to their room.
"Kacchan, don't!" Izuku whisper-yelled at him.
"Stay here." Katsuki said before taking off down the hall, the others following after him in flashes.
Izuku rushed to the door, looking down the hall. He looked the other way and saw Kaminari running towards him, going to follow the others.
Izuku stood in front of him, grabbing his arms and stopping him from continuing. "Grab Momo and get out of here. Please Kami." He pleaded.
The blond's eyes narrowed into slits at him. "What did you do?!" He asked, his voice full of accusation.
"Grab Momo and get out of here. I'll do everything I can to keep the others safe, but you need to leave and take Momo with you. She's basically defenseless and I don't know what's going to happen." Izuku rushed out, looking over his shoulder to make sure no one was coming up the stairs.
"Just go!" Izuku said more firmly, pushing Kaminari back slightly.
The blond seemed to stall for a few seconds before realizing he was right. If shit hit the fan, Yaoyorozu would be screwed, she couldn't even hold a gun. He had to trust that the others could take care of themselves, with or without Izuku's 'protection'.
"If something happens to them, I'll kill you myself." Kaminari hissed before turning and running to Yaoyorozu and Jirou's room.
"If something happens to them, I'll already be dead." Izuku whispered to himself before turning and running down the stairs.
