"Where were you the last two hours?" Izuku asked. Kacchan stopped in his tracks and turned around.
"What?" he asked through gritted teeth. Izuku immediately knew he had stepped on a nerve, but the question had been building up inside him since everything started. That was the one thing that didn't add up.
"I thought you were in your room this whole time," Izuku explained. "Obviously you weren't if this happened sometime in the last two hours."
"It's none of your damn business where I was!" Kacchan snapped back.
"It is though," Tsu interjected. "You can't ask for others to give an alibi if you're not willing to give one yourself." Kacchan stopped. He knew she was right. "Otherwise," Tsu continued, "How do we know you didn't do this to yourself? Ribbit."
Kacchan remained silent. He had backed himself into a corner. Izuku knew Bakugo was hiding something, he wouldn't be so defensive otherwise.
He likely didn't do this to himself though. What's going on?
"Yeah, what were you doing?" Kaminari added, emboldened by the sudden turn of events. Kacchan didn't reply. His hands curled into fists.
"Do you really think I did this to myself?" he growled. His tone was less outwardly aggressive, but Izuku could hear more anger behind it.
"At this point, I wouldn't but it past you," Sero said. Wether he actually believed that or not was up to debate, but Sero was definitely happy that the focus of the interrogation was no longer on him.
"Well, I didn't," Bakugo replied flatly.
"Oh, you'll have to do better than that!" Hagakure said. There were several nods of agreement. Kacchan clinched his teeth and looked at the floor.
"Come on, where were you?" Jiro prodded. Kacchan's shot toward her.
"I had some errands to run," he answered. Izuku knew there was more to it than that.
"See, that wasn't so hard!" Ochaco exclaimed.
"They why didn't we see you come back in?" Tokoyami asked.
"It's not my fault if you guy's aren't observant!" Bakugo shot back. While Izuku accepted the possibility that Kacchan might have just walked in unnoticed, it was far more likely he didn't want to be noticed.
But if he doesn't want to tell, it'll take more than just some questions to make him talk.
"Now, where were we?" Kacchan said as he turned back toward Kaminari and Sero.
"Hey, we weren't done talking about the other thing," Kaminari sputtered out.
"We're done when I say we're done," Bakugo replied. "We're done." He took a step forward. "Now, where were you two?"
"We were here!" Sero answered. Kaminari nodded quickly. Bakugo took another step forward.
"Wait!" Izuku shouted. Kacchan groaned and turned back toward him.
"What is it now?" He grumbled.
"There has to be a better way of doing this," Izuku explained.
"No, I think this way will work just fine," Bakugo pushed back. He started turning back toward the rest of the class.
"We can rule people out without going through all..." Izuku gestured to Kacchan, "...this."
"What do you mean by that?" Bakugo growled.
"Who would have had the time to get the paint, actually paint the room, and get everything set up like the pink sheets, unicorn pillow, and the flowers on the desk?" Izuku asked aloud.
"Flowers?" Momo asked, surprise in her voice. All eyes turned to her.
