And at this late hour, no one felt like contradicting her—not even the class rep.
“Alright, we’re doing this Mina-style Truth or Dare! I’m the game master, so... Shinso-kun...”
“Uh, Ashido-san, that’s not how—”“SHH, Deku-kun. Your turn will come...”
Well. At least he tried.
He knew he was the target of her curiosity and had no idea how to escape it. Neither did the others, for that matter.
“So, Shinso-kun... do you like Izuku Midoriya?”
A murmur immediately spread through the group. Several things happened at once. Bakugo snickered, glancing at the nerd, who was turning pale before their eyes.
Shoto also looked at his first friend, almost as if waiting for instructions. Ochaco frowned, equally hesitant. Kirishima tensed up, clearly looking like he wanted to intervene—probably to throw him a lifeline.
Shoji reacted the same way.
Many stirred.
The one concerned, however, didn’t flinch. True to himself, Shinso straightened up almost proudly. He wasn’t going to dodge the question, even if he didn’t have to answer.
“Yes. He’s the person I love.”
He let the information hang in the air, completely unfazed, not intimidated in the slightest by the commotion it caused. Mina also noticed that Izuku, for his part, didn’t seem surprised.
“Ooooh... So, Deku-kun, do you confirm?”
“Wait, he said he loves him, not that they’re dating!”
But that was enough.
“And besides, this is far from Truth or Dare—you’re just asking whatever you want to know.”“It’s the remixed version! You know your turn is coming, right, my dear little Kiri?”
Kirishima smiled dangerously.
“I’ve got nothing to be ashamed of when it comes to the person I love.”
“So who is it? Give us a name!”
“Guess... one clue: ‘he’ is here.”
The clue wasn’t what it seemed. After all, the entire class was present. No, in reality, Kirishima had just admitted he loved another boy.
“Bakugo!”Toru exclaimed, suddenly getting into it.“Yeah, it’s gotta be him,”Mineta agreed.
The two concerned sighed, clearly exasperated.
“You’re all a pain in the a*s! Screw that, I’m not even gay!”“So we’re not even playing ‘Guess Who’ anymore?”Hanta joked.
“MAGNIFICENT! So...”
And at that exact moment, the suspects found themselves facing the nosiest students. The fatigue seemed to vanish; almost everyone got caught up in the new game, and one by one, they’d all be dragged into it.
“So, let’s start from the beginning. Todoroki-kun, does the person you like have long black hair?”
“Correct.”
With a triumphant cry, Mina mentally connected the dots, linking Momo to Shoto Todoroki. Perfect. Absolutely perfect. Two couples had just been exposed... and there were still three suspects left. And one broken heart.
“Oh, my dear Kiri... Because if we think about it for two seconds...”
