RUMORS...

♧

Izuku Midoria, August 8th

I shook my head, grabbing my phone and sitting on the bed. I called my mom, trying to ignore my racing heart.

"Hey baby. How are you?" Her voice rang through the phone, making me relax.

"Good, good. How about you? Not having too much fun without me are you?" I joked, lightening up. Mom wasn't there with me, but hearing her voice had almost the same effect.

"How could I?" She hummed, her warm laugh calming me down even more. We continued chatting, until my phone buzzed. I could feel my heart drop into my stomach, just praying it wasn't about me.

"Sorry mom, I have to go. Bye, love you." I said, listening to her faint send off before hanging up, opening the message.

Wow, who would've thought that Mr. Teachers favorite would be caught doing drugs behind everyone's back! Guess you can't trust everyone can you?

My heart stalled as the photo popped up, covering my mouth. No fucking way.

In the photo, Shinso was sat in a brown leather couch, razor between his fingers. White powder rested in bags on the table, one of them open and clearly used. Random people were also in the room, but their faces were blurred.

They probably weren't worth exposing.

I left the conversation, opening Shinsou's number in my phone.

You
You okay?

I don't even remember the last time both of us talked. Probably during the sports festival in our second year? I couldn't remember.

Shinso
Don't worry about it.

You
I'm so sorry. I don't know why you're on their radar.
I wouldn't believe them otherwise. You're not that kind of person.

Shinso
Maybe I am. You don't know me that well.

Hitoshi Shinso, August 9th

I woke up as my alarm went off, quickly slamming my hand down. I don't want to wake up.

"Good morning. How are you feeling?" Neito asked, wrapping his arms around me. After that photo got leaked he came over and ended up staying the night.

"Fine." I mumbled, kissing his head before getting up, walking to the bathroom in my dorm. I tied my hair back, not willing to deal with it. I wet my toothbrush, squeezing out some toothpaste and brushing my teeth.

How the fuck am I supposed to go to class as if nothing happened?

I could hear our phones going off in my room, pausing.

"Uh, you might want to get in here-" Neito called interrupted by me rushing into the room, toothbrush still hanging from my lips.

I grabbed my phone, opening the message.

This just in- some people's private library aren't so private ~

We looked at each other, snapping our eyes back on our phones and clicking play on the video.

It was... webcam footage?

Yep. Webcam footage.

It was at least 45 minutes of what I was assuming Todoroki and Kirishima's sex tape. I closed out as soon as I noticed, Neito doing the same.

"Holy shit." We said in unison, looking back at each other.

I got back up, continuing getting ready. Neito was in no rush, which I wasn't surprised by. His first period was online, including his homeroom until next week.

I looked at the door as frantic knocking rang through my dorm, walking over to it and throwing it open. Midoria, Kirishima and Todoroki stood outside, forcing their way inside after a couple seconds.

Neito scrambled to get dressed, however they showed no interest in why he was half naked and in my room at 5:30 AM. They were their 'picture perfect' selves, as usual.

"What do you want?" I asked, shutting the door behind me. They looked amongst themselves, trying to figure out who should speak first.

A long sigh dragged from Todoroki's lips, bringing the attention onto him. "We're being targeted by some incognito bastard. I know at least 50 people who would want to bring us down, but I don't know anyone who would also target you."

Neito stood up, standing next to me. "Who could it be? They have information I didn't even know they could have." Kirishima said, looking around the 4 of us.

"They have my home address. They know that my mom is alone." Midoria said, his cool, calm exterior breaking as his hands trembled. I felt bad watching him, but he didn't seem to care.

Neito shook his head, lookingat me. "We should tell Nezu."

"No. No fucking way." Midoria said, shaking his head frantically. "My secret isn't even that bad. But if this gets out beyond UA then you can kiss goodbye to your futures." He said, looking at everyone but Neito.

It was true. I would be charged for even being near drugs. Todoroki and Kirishima could kiss goodbye to their hero careers. Midoria probably wouldn't suffer that much, unless they decided to go after his mom while she was alone.

"So. What do we do?"
