Who Is He, Really?

Mina, Tsuyu and Uraraka are seen walking through the corridor. They're on their way to their dorm because Uraraka forgot to bring her stuff. While walking, they met with some of the villains walking around. Skipping class maybe?

"What are they doing here?" Uraraka asked.

"I don't know, should we ask them?" Mina replied with another question.

"No wait-" Before Uraraka could say anything, Mina already came in front of one of the kids.

"Hey, where're you guys going? I thought there's class right now."

The kids seems taken aback. They looked at each other before the guy at the front replied.

"Uhh... we're going to the infirmary."

"Huh? Why? You guys don't look hurt though?"

"Well, you know Deku? He-"

"What? What happened to Deku? Is he sick?" Uraraka butted in before Mina could say anything. Looking at this, Mina grinned playfully.

"Nah, he's not sick. He got someone else in the infirmary. He told us to watch Ango for him since he didn't want to miss the class." the kid replied timidly.

Well, the expected behaviour of a villain is always shouting, screaming and telling you to fuck off? Not them. These guys got 'educated'. Not by the teachers, but the kids in class 1-A.

On the very first day the rehabilitation program started.

Anyway, the story for this is on another day. Back to present.

Mina made a confused face while Tsuyu question them again.

"What do you mean by Deku got someone sent to infirmary?"

The villain at the front scratched his chin.

"Well, Ango tried to mess with him today. We thought Deku-sama would get fucked at the moment, but it looks like we're wrong." he explained. It feels like a very short explanation, but it pretty much says everything that happens.

"Huh? I thought Deku said it'll be okay since Ango probably saw him at the gathering?" Mina said with a confused expression while ignoring the '-sama' added after Deku's name.

"D-do you know his identity?" The villain asked with a pale complexion.

'I'm dead meat.' He monologue by himself.

The memory where Deku threaten everyone not to tell every students in UA about his identity with a smile came to mind.

"Now that you said that, he never told us about his villain name..." Tsuyu thought deeply.

"That's right. But... it seems you know about it after all?" When Mina mentioned that, Uraraka, Mina and Tsuyu's eyes glowed.

It was at this moment they knew...

They fucked up.

***

"Ceh, I thought he was going to tell us Deku's villain name after we 'persuaded' them." Mina clicked her tongue.

Yes, the 'persuasion' is actually a threat.

"Well, what can we do. They're so adamant about it." Tsuyu replied. They're relaxing in front of the TV at the living room.

The scene they made this morning comes to mind. The villains even said they'd rather get beat up by them than saying his name.

"What are you girls talking about? Deku's villain name?" Kirishima suddenly popped out of nowhere with Bakugou by his side. Mina stared at him and finally told him what happened that morning.

"Hmm... looks like he got the villain kids to shut their mouth. They rather get beat up than telling you his name..." Kirishima made a thinking pose.

"Did he threatened them before you guys did?"

"I told you it's not threaten, we persuaded them to tell the truth!" Mina shouted.

"Yeah right."

Then they started fighting. Uraraka just watched them playing cat and dog with a resigned look on her face. Suddenly, she felt something cold and wet touched her cheek.

"Kyaa!" Uraraka shouted in surprise. When she turns around, he saw a green haired kid grinning mischievously while holding some canned drinks.

"You're not gonna find out my name that easily. Anyway, you want some?"Deku said while offering her a strawberry juice.

"Th-thanks." Uraraka said slowly while hiding her blushing face.

"Deku! It's a pain playing detective with you. Why don't you just tell us?" Kirishima suddenly showed up in front of Deku and took another drink Deku brought.

"Well, its not gonna be fun then!" Deku opened his soda and drunk it.

"Then can't you tell us your real name at least~?"

When Mina said that, the look in Deku's eyes becomes cold for a moment before returning back to normal. No one realized it though. He turned to look at Mina before asking.

"Hmm~? How did you know that Deku is not my real name?"

"Nah, I thought it was just too odd to be your real name."

Deku laughed out loud.

"Well, you're right. It's not my real name. Somebody used it to make fun of me. He said it's from the word 'dekunobou' means someone who can't achieve anything."

Silence descended. I gotta say, he's really good at making the atmosphere awkward.

After a few moments of silence, someone broke it.

"It doesn't sound like that to me though." Uraraka muttered.

"What?"

"To me, it sounds like, 'dekiru'. The name Deku gave me the feeling of 'I can do it' so... I don't think your name is bad." Uraraka smiled softly while staring at her canned drink. Deku stared at her with an unknown look on his face. Then he slowly smiled and ruffled Uraraka's hair.

"Ahaha! This is the first time I've heard someone said that... thank you." Deku smiled. Genuinely. It's probably the brightest and prettiest smile he ever made in the 10 months he's missing. While the others are getting caught up by the warm atmosphere, Bakugou stepped in.

"Deku, I want to talk to you." Bakugou said with a serious face.

Deku looked at Bakugou face with a neutral look before he happily replied.

"All right! Do you want to talk in your room?" he asked. Bakugou just walked away, signalling Deku to come after him.

***

"Now, why do you wanna talk to me, Kacchan?" Deku opened his mouth after they entered Bakugou's room. Bakugou stared at him.

"Do you not want to know what happened to auntie?"

And just like that, Deku's smile froze.
