Operation Izuocha (Izuku x Ochaco Fic)

Chapter 9: Clues

Author's Note:

Hey guys. This is a continuation of the subplot I set up in chapter 5. I'm sorry it's been so long since my last update, I just couldn't figure out how to write this chapter. I re-wrote it like 3 times and I still don't like it!! In the end I figured that getting something out was better than nothing so...here you go. Please, please comment on your thoughts. It would be really helpful to know what you guys think this time around since I'm so unsure about this chapter.

*******************************************************************

The following Saturday was the first weekend class 1-A had ever spent in the dorm rooms. Nobody knew exactly what the protocol should be, but for the most part, everyone tried to keep things similar to how they would behave at their own homes. For example, Izuku was up at the crack of dawn training, while most of the other boys slept in past noon. The weather outside was nice that day so some of the girls decided to make lunch and have a picnic at a nearby park.

"Morning Yaoyorozu! A few of us are going to have a picnic. Do you wanna come?" asked Jiro.

What happened with Bakugou the previous night was making Momo increasingly more curious the more she thought about it. She planned to investigate him to see if she could find out anything that may explain why he'd gotten so worked up. She decided not to ask any of her friends for help since they'd probably say she was over reacting. It was up to her. She was on a mission.

"Uh, sorry not today. I was thinking of studying up on some chemical compositions to help improve my quirk's range of utility," she lied.

"Ugh, your always studying! Live a little." Jiro whined. 

"Sorry, maybe another time."

With that, Momo left to go come up with plan.

Ok I've gotta think. If possible, I should try not to waste my whole day on this. That being said, I can't just walk up to Bakugou and ask him if something is wrong, he might kill me. I also can't let it get out that I'm trying to find out if there is something wrong because.... he might kill me. So what can I do? she thought.

After about 5 minutes she had managed to settle on the best course of action.

"Hey Kirishima? Can I talk to you a second?" asked Momo.

She figured asking Kirishima was a good place to start since, judging by how much time they spent together, it was safe to say that he knew Bakugou best. She started by retelling him the entire incident to try and see if he had any thoughts as to why Bakugou had gotten so set off.

"That's weird. Normally Bakugou wouldn't care what Midoriya does. So long as its not something that would get him closer to becoming the number one hero I guess," said Kirishima.

"Right? I thought so too! I knew you'd get it," she said, "think you might have an idea why?"

"Not a clue..." he said.

"Darn it!" said Momo, crossing her arms in frustration.

My first lead and I've already hit a dead end, she thought, going into full on detective mode.

"But I can try to find out," he said, "I mean if you really want to know."

Momo was surprised at the offer.

"What, you mean you're going to ask him... like directly?" she said, confused.

"Ahah yes, that's what I mean," he said, laughing at how shocked she looked, "you know, Bakugou may come across a little intense but he's actually a nice guy."
