Chapter 20 - Toy

The truth is that I am a toy that people enjoy
'till all of the tricks don't work anymore;
and then they are bored of me.

Chapter 20 - 'Toy'

Day 73

3rd PERSON'S POV (No one POV)

Yaoyorozu paced nervously around the common room as most of her classmate who joined the improvised meeting were chatting. She was nervous about the outcome of that meeting.

Miyako sat in silence on one of the couches next to Jiro while Hagakure glared at her from her spot at the feet of the other couch. Mina was instead busy braiding Tsuyu's long green hair as the latter carefully watched all her classmate's expression. A few feet from most of them stood Bakugō with Kirishima at his side, they were the first ones who showed up and against all expectation, it wasn't Kirishima dragging him there but the other way around. Yaoyorozu couldn't tell the actual reason he was so eager to participate but, whether it was because he felt the topic concerned him and Kirishima or because he deeply cared about Midoriya; she was glad he joined without complains.

"We're sorry, Denki was still asleep!" - Sero said as him and Kaminari rushed into the common room.

"Good. Now that we're all here we can talk about last night." - Yaoyorozu said stopping her pacing around to stand in front of her classmate as Kaminari and Sero reached the center of the room.

"Midoriya, Uraraka and Todoroki are missing!" - Kaminari said as he got comfortable on the couch next to Jiro who sighed and shook her head in dejection.

"We know Kaminari, we intentionally didn't ask them to join" - Iida said standing next to Yaoyorozu.

"Well, it ended up bad. What else there is to say?" - Sero said with an awkward laugh as he rested his forearms on the back of the couch.

"What's there to talk about at all? Miyako and Todoroki have been lying to all of us all along..." - Hagakure said from her sitting spot on the floor. Even if no one could see her expression, her tone of voice showed how pissed she was that her favorite couple was in fact just a lie.

"I understand that lying is not something nice to do, but you got no right to come at me and Todoroki and complain for sticking to a script." - Miyako said with a blank expression glancing the invisible girl's way. She already could tell that what was born to be a discussion over Shōto's wellbeing, was going to turn into a discussion about their lies.

"I do, I don't like liars. You could at least apologize for making a fool of all of us" - Hagakure whined.

"Tooru, I don't think this meeting is about you their fake relationship. Am I wrong Yaoyorozu?" - Ojiro said calmly trying to quiet down the already tense atmosphere. Yaoyorozu sighed glad that someone could see what that meeting was about but as she was about to start talking, Miyako interrupted her.

"I have nothing to apologize for! We stuck to a script our parents forced on us, I don't see anything wrong with that. Besides, Shōto obviously wasn't comfortable with coming out with any of you and I can understand why. All I've heard last night were a bunch of idiots looking shocked and making stupid remarks, not a single supportive word. No matter how much he keeps telling you and himself that he doesn't care what all of you think about him, it's obvious that having all of you judging him is bothersome. For fuck sake, it's bothering me and I'm not even the one who's being judged!" - Miyako said crossing her arms over her chest glaring at all her classmates with a really few exceptions.
