Secrets-Book Two

Chapter 3

Uraraka and Iida stood behind Kirishima as he knocked lightly on Todoroki's door. Almost immediately, the door opened, and the group slipped inside. "What the hell was all that?" Kirishima asked Todoroki. Between the group, Todoroki was the only one who knew what Bakugo and Midoriya had been through. He didn't know every detail, and Midoriya hadn't personally told him anything about Bakugo, but he knew more than the other three.

"I tried looking both of them up, but I got no hits on anything," Todoroki said, motioning to his laptop that was still open on his desk. "I used Endeavors agency's database and everything."

Uraraka looked at the computer and frowned. "You didn't get any hits on Tanaka and Akio, but you got hits on Bakugo and Deku?"

He nodded. "I didn't look at them. It felt like an invasion of privacy. I want to talk to them and see what's going on before I even think of resorting to something like that." He didn't want to breach that trust with either of them, but he would if he got desperate enough. For now, he had to talk to them before he did anything like that.

"She had to do something horrible for Deku to treat her like that. I can see Bakugo doing it, but not Deku." Todoroki frowned because he did know some of the things she had put his ex through. He also knew he wasn't as stable as he pretended to be. Todoroki was terrified of what Midoriya was feeling right now.

"Have you tried to call him?" Todoroki asked.

"None of us got an answer. Did you try?" Kirishima asked.

He shook his head. "I'm still trying to keep a distance," he admitted. He truly loved Midoriya. A part of him always has, and a part of him always will. He didn't want to push his luck and piss Bakugo off.

"I don't know what to do," Uraraka said. "Deku's mom practically dragged them from the building. I mean, if she reacted like that, what did they do to Bakugo and Deku?"

"Did anyone else notice that she tossed a quarter to the kissing thing earlier?" Kirishima asked. "I wouldn't point it out, but Akio didn't. Bakubro tossed a quarter, which I didn't think he would do since the only people who know about him and Midoriya are in this room."

"You think he and Tanaka dated or something?" Iida asked.

"Bakubro didn't tell me much about her or Akio. I didn't even know their names. I just know that they did terrible stuff to him in middle school. Todoroki seemed like he knew more." He nodded toward him, but Todoroki shook his head.

"I do, but I'm not sharing. I don't know anything about what happened with Bakugo, but I know some of the details about Midoriya and told him I would never repeat them." If he had to tell Aizawa or something to keep him safe, he would. But that's as far as he would be willing to go. Midoriya told him about his past with confidence that he wouldn't tell anyone else.

"Why here?" Iida asked. "There are hundreds of hero schools in the country. Why did they come to this one?" Kirishima and Todoroki shared an uneasy look.

"Screw it," Todoroki said. He grabbed his phone and called Midoriya. Everyone in the room expected it to go to voicemail, but they were surprised when he answered after the fourth ring.

"Hello?" he said.

"Are you okay?" Todoroki asked quickly while Kirishima's phone started to ring.

"I'm fine, but can I call you back? Uraraka and Iida have called me a dozen times, and I need to let them know I'm alright," he explained.

"We're here, Deku," Uraraka said. "Are you with Bakugo?"

"Yeah," he said.

"Put your phone on speaker because I'm here too," Kirishima said.
