No Rules Allowed | T. Iida x Reader

iv. Brutal Honesty

Todoroki and the girl Bakugou returned to school from their internship, unlike everyone else who went home the night before, and then to school the next day.

Their reasoning being that the girl Bakugou needed to fight Iida before her brother saw any of the scarring.

"Are you sure this is a good idea?" Todoroki asked, the two walking side by side towards UA, just getting off of their train.

"To be quite frank, no, not at all, and I'm dreading every moment of it. Fighting Class Rep, that's something I've always wanted to do, and it's a bloody shame we didn't fight at the Sports Festival, but I'm still lying to Katsuki."

"But the fight is real, isn't it?"

"Well, yes, I have a lot of pent up things I'd like to say to him-"

"Then you're not entirely lying, and that's good enough."

"Thanks, Todoroki, I really appreciate it."

"Iida, are you sure about this? It'll really hurt your school record." Midoriya seemed more stressed than Iida did, which was quite shocking considering this plan didn't affect him at all.

"I'm sure, Midoriya." Iida answered honestly, not doubting what he was about to do in the slightest, something that he never thought he'd do, especially on school premises.

As he and Midoriya approached UA grounds, he saw Todoroki and the girl Bakugou speaking to one another as well, both with small smiles on their faces.

"It's funny how Kacchan and Todoroki basically hate each other, but Bakugou and Todoroki are best friends, and Kacchan and Bakugou get along more than most people do." Midoriya laughed slightly.

"The two Bakugou's are very similar, yet very different at the same time, it's actually admirable how well they get along with one another as well." Iida smiled ever so slightly at his own words, Midoriya looking at him suspiciously.

"You've never been one to compliment either one of them, did something change your mind?"

"Actually, yes. Her dedication to not lie to her brother, because she's always been one to not care about authorities rules, yet this time, she's following it, even if it breaks her heart to break a long time promise she made to him."

"Have you ever thought that she's doing it for us? Because if she told him the truth, she'd have to tell her that we were there, too. She's trying to not drag us down with her, Iida."

Iida was silent for a moment. "You're right."

In that moment, it was time.

A brutal part of this whole thing was that Iida would have to reopen the wounds already caused to her in order for it to be entirely believable. Iida, as she told him prior, did get her a new school uniform and shipped it to the hotel she and Todoroki were staying at, because she only brought one with her to her internship with Todoroki, following after Endeavor.

The boy Bakugou had come into frame, walking alongside Kirishima. Kaminari, Sero, and Ashido trailing behind the two.

Todoroki immediately acted as if he was restricting the girl Bakugou as her eyes landed on Iida. "Oi, Class Rep!"

"Yelling loudly can cause distractions to fellow students!" He yelled back, immediately talking quieter. "You should be respectful to your fellow students, Bakugou."

The Bakusquad immediately stopped walking, looking towards the chaotic scene.

Todoroki was holding back the girl Bakugou with all his might, while Midoriya was standing protectively in front of Iida. Uraraka and Asui were watching from a safe distance, not having the slightest idea as to what was about to unfold and why.
