Squad Optimum [ON HOLD]

Chapter 4 - Reappearance

It is now the end of a crazy school day. 2 transfer students from a school considered to not be as good as UA for hero training just whooped the two best 1st year classes without a sweat. Looming questions.. and now that it's after school, they had all the time to ask.

Heights Alliance, 1-A Dorms

Everyone in 1-A is in the common area, including Deku. He wants to somewhat fit in and get along with the people he has to spend 3 years with, not everything is mission this, mission that after all. Everyone is chatting, but as the newcomer people are trying to get to know him better. Deku is just in the corner of the couch not really engaging in coversation until a certain red-head from earlier speaks up. "So Midoriya.. do you think I could call you Midobro?" Kirishima asks innocently, a bit nervous after the fiasco of earlier today. Deku laughs a genuine laugh, which felt good for him, "No need to be so stiff, Kirishima! I don't mind at all." Kirishima smiles, knowing he's been validated as one of Deku's first friends. Then a pink hued girl named Mina Ashido, with horns proposes a game of truth or dare. They all oblige, but Deku is a bit uneasy to speak about his past if they ask, especially the one he calls Kacchan in his mind. He knows he wants to know. 

Mina then speaks again. "Alright, as the newcomer to 1-A, you go first Midoriya! Truth or dare?" Deku decides to take the risk and do a dare, he feels Mina is a dirty player. "Alright then. I dare you to.. post a picture of yourself looking seductively into the camera onto Instagram, and caption it 'feeling cute, might delete later.'" Deku smirks at how tame that was. "Bet, I've done that before anyway." The class, more specifically the girls are a bit flustured that he's aware of his stunningly good looks. "Midoriya, what's your Instagram?", Kaminari asks. Deku responds. "Oh right. It's 'Izukun'. Cue more blushing from the girls. They all thought the same thing.                Izu-kun.. how cute!

Everone in the room, all of class 1-A then pull out their phones to follow Deku and look at the post. Momo speaks up. "Oh wow, Midoriya! That looks... really.. good." Deku could sense all the girls were flustered. He decides to do a bit of teasing like he would do with his squad mates. "Please, feel free to call me Izuku, or any other variation you could think of." Just like that, the girls' minds exploded in possible cute nicknamed to call their new class hottie, rivaling even Todoroki. 

After that bit of teasing, Deku moves on. "Alright, my turn to choose." He was taking a risk with this one. "Bakugo.. truth or dare?" Everyone in the room was nervous, he asked the hot headed pomeranian AFTER handing his ass to him in training. To everyone's surprise, he remained calm. "Dare, I'm not a pussy." Deku smirked, he's deciding to be a bit devious. "I dare you to.. to do anything the person you hate most asks you to do." 

...

Silence. Until the tea spiller Mina spoke up again. "That's... evil." Then Bakugo got an evil grin himself. "Alright then, Deku.." Deku got nervous. Shit. He didn't forget about me. He's definitely going to ask me to tell him what happened after I left when we were 4. I don't know what mum had told Kacchan. There's no way out. If I say truth, he'll ask for me to tell him. If I say dare, he'll dare me to tell him. His train of thought would be broken by Jirou asking, "Who's Deku?" The class also started asking the same question. Bakugo ignored the. "Truth or dare?" 30 seconds of silence later, Deku spoke. "Truth." Bakugo was elated. He'll finally get the truth. "What happened.. after you left when we were 4?" 

FUCK  FUCK FUCK FUCK. I'll have to act really hard to get out of some outrageous lie. Okay Deku, just be calm. Remember what we were told to do when in an interrogation if we were to be captured. Deku's mind was racing, then calmed. He curled up and looked into his knees, and began speaking softly. "To be honest Kacchan.." The class then asked the same thing as last time. "K-Kacchan?!" Deku ignored them, and continued with his elaborate acting. "I don't remember much. I was asleep that day.. and woke up somewhere else. I tried my hardest to remember when I was able to escape, and went to my old home, but she wasn't there. So I left and met someone who took care of me from then on." Deku began fake crying. The class rushed to his side to calm him down, he knew his plan had worked. "Bakubro, so not manly. You made him cry!" Kirishima had said. "No.. it's okay.. Kacchan only wanted to know something I kept from him." Truth is, Deku didn't mind staying with ISA. He was happy there. Luckily for him, his cover up story was partially true, as Inko moved since she had higher income since she no longer was paying for a child.

With a sour mood, no one wanted to continue playing. Uraraka and Tsu suggested they binge watch a bunch of movies on Nootflix. Mineta, being the perv he is, suggested dirty movies. The girls were disgusted and Deku was weirded out some 3 foot tall purple ball dude was even trying to be a hero. Mineta spoke up again after the comments went away. "Wouldn't you agree, Bakugo?" Mineta knew he was the hated one, and used it to his advantage. "LIKE HELL I WOULD YOU PERV-" Deku started at him. Bakugo then remembered his dare and scoffed. "Yeah.. whatever. I'm going to my room, it's late anyway. It wasn't late. It was more or less 7:45 PM, but Bakugo always slept at 8 like a nerd, even if he wasn't that nerdy.

2 movies later..

Yaoyarozu yawned. "It's getting late, we should go to bed. Apparently we have tough quirk training tomorrow, we'll need the energy." "Okay." the class responded. Everyone told each other their good night's and went upstairs to their dorms. 

Deku sat in on the chair used for his desk. He picked up his phone and called someone. Stakes. "Hello?" the voice from the phone said. "Stakes, I need an elaborate cover up story. We were playing truth or dare, and I was asked by the my childhood friend to tell him what happened when I left for ISA. If I refused to answer, that could blow my cover. I told  him that I just woke up somewhere and when I escaped someone took me in. I need you to be that someone." The voice from the phone laughed. "You really are an elaborate one. Sensing by what you asked of me, they believed you. Alright then, Agent Deku, I'll be the one who took you in. However, since your last name is still Midoriya, that means Inko is still your legal guardian. She doesn't know you're back in Shizuoka Prefecture." "Thank you, goodnight." 

Deku felt more at ease knowing his lie was believable. He was exhausted, the sleep in class wasn't suffice. So he drifted off to sleep.

Sorry for the shorter than usual chapter! The next chapter will hopefully be better. Thanks for reading so far!
