A Meme A Day - Kiribaku {BNHA}

Rumors

Uhh, so it looks like I'm going to try and update every Tuesday? The day might change, but I'll definitely give a heads up if it does.

Also, I'm actively trying to find a different title for this fic - the more I think about it, the less I like the current one. If/when I find one, I'll probably update and let you know before I change it, and then change it between updates. That being said, if anyone has any suggestions, do let me know! <3

Oh, and I'm gonna start heading the chapters with whoever's perspective it's in just to make it clearer, and in case I end up changing perspectives mid-chapter. :3

-Kirishima-

"Yo, Kiri! Over here!"

Kirishima's eyes followed the direction of the familiar voice calling his name from across the mess hall to find Kaminari waving at him from their usual table near the windows. With a couple pieces of pizza piled on his plate and a bottle of Dr. Pepper, he sauntered over.

"Hey guys," he said as he slid into his usual seat between Kaminari and Sero, across from Jirou. "How goes it?"

A nod traveled around the table before Kaminari was giving Kirishima a look. "So did ya meet your new roommate yet?"

"Yup. He showed up about an hour ago."

"Wait, you got assigned a roommate?" Sero jumped in. "Why didn't I hear about this?"

"Ah... whoops, I guess I forgot to tell you," Kirishima mumbled with an apologetic laugh. "Sorry 'bout that, but in my defense I only just found out about it last night."

"And you told Kaminari and not me?" Sero grumbled in mock offense, crossing his arms and pushing his lower lip out in a pout.

"Hey, he was with me when I found out!" Kirishima scrambled to say.

Sero's pout didn't last long before he was grinning that stupid, seemingly permanent grin again. "I'm just giving you shit, Kiri. So new roommate, huh? Weird, 'cause I heard a rumor about something weird going on with Iida's roommate just this morning."

"Something weird like what?" Jirou asked as Kirishima dug into his pizza.

"I dunno, exactly, 'cause there are a lot of different rumors surrounding it. I heard from one person that something happened and Iida got him kicked out of school, but someone else said he was probably just getting suspended but that he wouldn't be rooming with Iida anymore," Sero explained. "I don't know what to believe, honestly, but it's some crazy stuff."

"What'd he do for rumors like that to start spreading?" Kaminari asked, clearly intrigued.

"Oh shit, I think I heard something about that," Jirou cut in. "From Mina. She said the dude threatened to kill Iida for some reason."

"Do you guys know who it was?" Kirishima mumbled around a mouthful of pepperoni and cheese.

"Nah, I can't remember his name," Sero mumbled, leaning an elbow on the table. "I think it started with like... a G? Or a B? I think the dude's new this year, though. Ojiro told me he's a senior, too."

Kirishima's pizza crust dropped onto his plate. "His name wasn't Bakugou, was it?"

Sero snapped. "Yep! That's it."

The redhead blinked at his friend for a second; just as he opened his mouth, though, Kaminari nearly exploded. "Dude! I went to middle school with that guy! He's a huge asshole!"

"Yeah?" Sero leaned across the table, already fascinated by more gossip.

"Yeah, man, and he was always getting into trouble and stuff. He'd like, leave class early all the time or barely even show up, and he had a huge temper."
