No. 5 - I'VE GOT RED IN MY LEDGER

A/N: Prompt: betrayal | misunderstanding | broken nose Sorry that it's been so long since I have posted but I hope you enjoy this!

The day this whole mess started had been like any other day for Izuku Midoriya. He, of course ended up getting injured in heroics training and was sent to Recovery Girl as the class drew to its end. What he didn't suspect to happen was for the rest of his class to find his analysis journal. This led to a spiral of things, that would land many students in detention and cause tension for a few weeks.

What he later learned was that as soon when he left for the medical rooms, Kaminari had spotted his analysis journal off to the side.

And besides Kaminari being the one to first notice the journal, Sero was the one to open it- against some of the other class members better wishes and protests.

Before Sero could actually read it though Iida stole it back, "That's Midoriya's property! You have no righ-"

Iida's speech was interrupted by Mina stealing the journal from his hands. She had opened it up to a random page and started reading out loud. The words she read caused the protests and cheers of the ones who wanted to read it, to cease.

It was an analyses of Momo. More specifically it was an analyses of how to take Momo down.

While Mina hadn't read a lot of the information, what she had read was unsettling.

Momo quickly took the notebook from the other girl and read it to herself, choosing to ignore the rest of the class as they started talking again. She had been relieved to find a section right after the other about how to fix her weaknesses.

When she finally felt satisfied and decided to pay attention to the class again she heard them talking about the possibility that Midoriya was a traitor.

"But Deku can't be a traitor."

It was Uraraka who spoke, her voice showing her anger and worry.

Uraraka had Kaminari pinned against the wall, "I know he wouldn't! Not willingly... Just listen. I know Midoriya would never want to hurt us on purpose but if the League are holding someone like his mom hostage... And I know he always stops them because he cares about us but..."

Before the conversation could go any further Momo interrupted, "I don't think he's given away these notes to anyone. And even if he did, he also wrote down many ways to conquer my weaknesses. Flipping through it, I found a section on how to fix the weaknesses of everyone he wrote on. I doubt he is the traitor... but maybe we should still talk to him about it... with a teacher too- when he gets back that is."

The class took a few seconds to ponder her words before agreeing with her plan.

Uraraka hesitantly let go of Kaminari, "Don't be rude or mean about it either. Remember he's our friend and your in the wrong not him. You're the ones who opened up the notebook in the first place so apologize to him... before the conversation about him being the traitor- which he's not."

Kaminari, Sero, and Mina all looked down at the floor, "Of course we will."

And they did. They, as they had agreed, first waited for Aizawa to join the class again before explaining the situation to him. After hearing their explanation he agreed to their plan.

After that they all waited for Midoriya to come back. As soon as he arrived they started the conversation.

Izuku did not mind answering the questions, happy that they were being kind about it and showing him such faith. After everyone was satisfied, Aizawa asked him if he'd be willing to talk to Detective Tsukauchi, that way he could officially be marked of the suspect list. He easily agreed, knowing it would probably be easier to have an official conversation about it now, than later.
