Chapter 91: that's why her hair is so big... IT'S FULL OF SECRETS pt. 2

The next day at lunch, I chose to sit at Midoriya's table.

I figured he would be the most likely to spill something about the mission.

And it seems like I was spot on.

The boy had been tightly gripping onto his chopsticks, staring down blankly at his bowl of katsudon.

"Aren't you going to eat?" Shoto asked from across the table.

"Y-yes! I'm eating!" Midoriya sounded pretty distraught. He really wasn't one for hiding his emotions.

Iida stared at the boy strangely. "Ever since you started your intern you've been acting weird," for even Icyhot to point this out, he was being really obvious.

"I-is that so..." the green-haired boy mumbled, taking a pathetically small bite of his food.

Iida raised a hand at the boy, catching his attention.

"When you're really clueless you should talk to us, we're friends right?" the words seemed to resonate with the freckled boy. "You said that once to the dumb me."

'hmm? as in back during the Stain incident?'

When I looked back over I saw tears fall from the boy's cheeks.

"Midoriya!" I gasped as Iida began waving his hands frantically, unsure of how to help the boy.

"Sorry...!" he mopped up his tears and seemed to stuff his face in his bowl of food. "It's really nothing."

'he must feel really bad about not being able to tell his friends...'

When he finally looked back up, his face was littered with grains of rice as he dragged a hand over his eyes. "Heroes aren't supposed to cry...!"

"No," the precious Shoto Todoroni sounded so worried. "Heroes will cry when they have to-" he locked eyes with me for a split second before looking away, "-I suppose..."

I suddenly had flashbacks of me sobbing my eyes out in front of him and Katsuki and a flush of embarrassment washes over me.

"I'll give you half of my soba," the sweet Peppermint boy offered.

Iida also shifted his bowl towards Midoriya, "you can have some of my curry."

I looked down at my tray of desserts.

"Have a muffin," I offered, placing it on his tray.

The green-haired boy nodded.

"Do you eat green onions?" Shoto offered and Midoriya accepted.

'I think it'll be harder to work the information out of him than I thought...' I look up at the boy in front of me.

"Wasabi?" Shoto continued asking and Midoriya nods again. 

"Thank you for the food."

Two days later, in the middle of the night, a buzzing of my phone wakes me from my sleep.

It had been the first time in days I hadn't slept with the usual two boys.

I guess I expected this call.

-

"Yeah?"

-

-

"Okay, I'll see you soon."

'guess I won't be getting much sleep today...'
