The Traitor in Our Midst (rewrite)

Part 7

"So, who do you think did it?"

Bakugou chucked an empty soda can at Minetta's head. "Screw off! I already told you that I don't know!" The words were meant to be shouted threateningly, but they came out in a more despondent tone. It was worrying to see that these events were getting to him so much, considering that Bakugou shrugged off many things easier than the others.

Midoriya sat cross legged on the couch next to Ururaka, brow furrowed as he thought. "It had to be someone with access to Aizawa and Mic's food in the teacher's lounge. I guess it wouldn't be hard to break in, but to get in the school itself... they have to be a teacher. Or a student."

Minetta sat on the ground next to an adjacent couch, having been kicked off for sneaking a feel on Mina. "You think it's the same person who killed Principal Nezu?"

The class went silent for a moment. Then Momo stood, obviously trying to keep to compose together. "I- I think that I'll turn in for the night."

She quickly left the room, and Kirishima aimed a swift kick at the back of Minetta's head. "Look what you did! That wasn't manly at all dude."

Iida nodded. "I must agree with Kirishima. You seem to be treating this like some true crime show instead of a life and death situation, and it is mildly disturbing to me. I would ask you to cease your morbid excitement over this."

"You better stop, or I'll drop you out a window." Bakugou grumbled. Kirishima pulled the blonde over so that Bakugou's head rested on his shoulder, running his fingers through his boyfriend's spiky hair.

Minetta shrugged and left, still whining that he hadn't done anything wrong.

Kirishima yawned, but didn't make a move to go to bed until Bakugou pulled him up. The others gradually began to follow their lead, and just before Midoriya left, someone called out to him,

"So who do you think it is? You never actually said."

Midoriya turned and saw Kaminari's eyes boring into him, strangely intense for someone who was usually pretty mellow. "You're one of the smartest people here, yeah?"

Instead of answering, Midoriya gave a rushed excuse about being tired and left.

For some reason, he felt relieved to be out of that room.
