Midoiya's POV
I watched as I shed my lover's wig, pulling it off of him and brought out some makeup remover pads so that they could actually see us for who we are. I couldn't look at them while we did this. I just couldn't, they must feel so betrayed and heartbroken. We haven't been allowed to see any of them at all this whole time and now out of nowhere we are suddenly allowed to? I let out a small sigh, afraid to look at them only for Kacchan to gently lift my chin to look in my eyes and smile. I can't help smiling back even as the tears streamed down. Of course, Kacchan will always be by my side even if no one else is. We take a deep breath and turn to face our peers.
They were all staring like they were seeing ghosts but in a way I guess they were. After all, Kacchan and I did 'die' so to speak.
"I understand if you don't want anything to do with us but please know that we really wanted to tell you. We were ordered not to, though. We were told that it had to be real, it had to be as real as humanly possible. Even Eraserhead didn't know until last week and I was told just this morning that All Might wasn't informed until yesterday." I couldn't take the looks they were giving us so I turned to Kacchan seeing his sad smile as he looked at me.
He was feeling the same way I was, both betrayed and lousey. We deserved their scorn, we deserve their hate. We just really hoped it wouldn't actually come to be this way.
I was about to turn and say something else when I felt something hit me around the middle. I looked down and saw a head of red and white hair, another of blue, a purple and another of light brown. They managed to knock the air out of me but I honestly didn't mind it. I looked over and saw Kacchan's squad in a similar position around him. I looked back down at mine and saw a few more heads, they were all crying but the few faces I could see were also smiling in what could only be relief.
I am finally home. The few classmates that didn't tackle us in hugs were bawling at their desk and several were even hugging each other. When Eraserhead finally shooed them to their seats so that we could answer questions it was really just in time. I was about to fall apart and I'm pretty sure he knew it.
It took the rest of the school day to answer their questions and we found out from Nezu that no one could see through the windows. The school was equipped with one way black out tech for emergency briefings and such.
"So why are we allowed to tell everyone now?" I asked Nezu, expecting him to deflect or dance around the answer.
"The only reason you couldn't before is because the association was still on the fence about Mineta being a hero at all. Today he proved that he would only use his status as a hero to benefit himself which is okay in most cases, but he literally commited a crime by touching you. Regardless of the fact whether you are boys or not he had no right to do that," Nezu answered and I'm pretty sure if the class didn't outright hate him before they certainly do now.
"How did you two get so strong? I swear you two were going all out the past two years but you took us all down today without breaking a sweat." Kaminari asked, laughing a little as he did.
"Oh, that's because we are good actors. We have been getting tortured for the past 14 years so it's only expected that we are able to defend ourselves at least that much," I smiled but everyone's mood dropped at my words. I tried to ignore it though. Just because we are allowed to talk about it doesn't mean we can. Those are two very separate things.
"Yeah the old hag would have killed us by now if we couldn't defend ourselves," Kacchan let a shiver run through him and I can't help thinking of Christmas two years ago. I already had scars covering my body so she could easily claim they were already there when she was done and that's exactly what she did.
"I hate Christmas," I mumble running my hands up and down my arms only to have Kacchan pull me into a hug.
"So do I nerd, so do I." I know he didn't have it any easier than I did. Even with it being his mother. She wouldn't stop going on and on about how weak we were and how she had it so much worse just because she had to take care of us.
"I thought you only called..." Kirishima started to say but his voice dropped as realization dawned on him. "Your own mother?" He croaked, his head dropped between his hands.
"But, she has been so nice. Not at first of course when her and your dad were trying to sue but I thought that was just their way of trying to deal..." Sero whispers carried across the room.
"Look here, extras!" Kacchan got everyone's attention, making them look at him. "You can't act any differently around the hag or my old man. Got it? Otherwise telling you was all a mistake and Deku and I will actually die. She can do that. There were several times she almost did."
I nodded in agreement, "If we can pretend to be a couple of teenage girls surely you can all pretend you didn't know this? We are going to need your help to take her down and we just might be able to take down AFO while we are at it." I look around and see their eyes all set in determination, I think that we can actually do this. Just maybe.
"So why were you two so tired today?" Todoroki asked and I couldn't help flinching a little. This only got everyone's attention more.
"We were working yesterday. Leave it at that," Kacchan answered for me and I nodded cuddling into his arms. It looked like he wanted to ask more but he didn't. I don't know if it's because he saw how shook up I was or if Kacchan was giving him a death glare with me in his arms.
"I'm going to hate having to go back into character now that we got a little break. I thought for sure it would make it easier but it doesn't seem like it," I cuddled into Kacchan's arms being mindful of the skirts we were still wearing.
"I know, love, I know." Kacchan let out a sigh pulling me closer.
"So did you guys seriously get together because of the jump or was it before that?" Uraraka asked, I looked at her and I could see something like disappointment on her face but she didn't seem angry.
"Well, I have always loved Kacchan. I think I was only four the first time I confessed my feelings to him," I mused out loud.
"Wait then, how long have you two been dating? Not since you were four right?" Kaminari's eyes were wide at his question.
"Uh, no. I don't know. I guess we officially started dating the night we jumped? But I have never wanted anyone but him." I shrugged and was confused how to answer it.
"Fuck it, yeah we might as well have been dating since we were four. We were getting tortured together after all. The hag heard us that day. And she is homophobic." Kacchan snuggled me closer.
The alarm on my phone went off and I groaned, "It's time to get back to the hideout. Blob will want some kind of explanation about yesterday." I buried my head in Kacchan's breast, I mean chest and groaned again.
"Right, back to work first we have to become Molly and Brenda again and then once we get to the house change into One and Two," Kacchan sighed. He lifted my chin up to look me in the eyes. "You know we have to do another one?" I close my eyes and nod at his reminder.
First we have to check on the last two and then pick the next set. This time whoever we pick would be worse. Much worse.
We picked up our purses and Aoyomi let us use his mirror and we transformed back into girls before their eyes. Everyone watched closely as we added the lashes and toner, skin tape and foundation, by the time we put on the lipstick most everyone's mouths had dropped in shock.
"That reminds me; One, Two?" We looked up at Nezu, our faces already picture perfect waiting for our orders. "The code name of your next target is Chupika," I go pale under my makeup. This was not going to be easy. "The other is your choice of course, you know the requirements."
"Yes 'god' orders received," we answer together now using Molly's and Brenda's voices. We turn to leave and All Might grabs my shoulder making me stop.
I look up at him, tears shining in my eyes but refusing to fall, He looks at me and Kacchan before pulling us into a hug. "Stay safe Young Midoriya, Young Bakugo. I can't lose you two again, do you understand me?" We cling to our hero not wanting to let go, yes there truly is at least one real hero left in the world. He might not be able to fight anymore but he will always be there for us.
"Thank you for always giving us hope, you have no idea how much you mean to us." I croak trying not to let the tears fall. We don't have time to do our makeup again. We let him go and pulled ourselves away from him, turning to the door and when we were ready we nodded at Midnight who hit the button to unseal the room.
We walked out perfectly happy and giggly girls talking about which flowers are better lilies or sunflowers, quickly making our way back to the pro heroes home. We changed and snuck out the window making our way to the hideout and our next target.
