Ojiro slowly pulled down the mask hiding the face of the purple haired villain, his tail wagged lightly as he was about to prove his theory correct! His eyes shined in excitement, he could even feel a grin creep up to his face, as if all the hard work theorizing wasn't in vain, that he was actually right!
His heart thumped, excited, this villain was-
"I knew I was-...." This wasn't.... His tail comes to a halt.
"You're not..."
Has he been wrong this whole time? Was everything just a coincedence? Did he overanalyze it? No, no, no no no, this- It can't be-- Ojiro slowly slides the mask back up, confusing the villain as he slowly slides it back down, confirming that this, was in fact, not Shinsou. He looked nothing like him, his nose was flat and his jawline couldn't even compare to Shinsou's, not to mention the lack of soft lips, instead a dry one. He could excuse the hair being down but... ugh. Guess the knife was also a dead giveaway since Shinsou normally uses that scarf.
The only similar thing the villain had with Shinsou was his hair and eyebags... and the villain's hair was down instead of up and fluffy like.. Oh. So... splashing water on Shinsou to check what his hair would look like down was... for nothing...........f-
Ojiro frowns, "Not what huh?! Strong enough to--" Before the villain could finish talking, Ojiro slams his tail against the villain's head, not strong enough to knock it off but enough to knock him out for a few hours. The villain's body thuds onto the ground, Ojiro sits down and starts sulking as he makes a phone call to the police.
As the police arrived and began thanking Ojiro and taking the villain away, he gets back to his dorm, still sulking all the way to his room.
I can't believe I mistook that villain for Shinsou, maybe he really isn't a bad guy...
Ugh, Ojiro what are you doing, theorizing against your own classmate like this.
Next morning came and Ojiro barely slept a wink, leaving his room at the time he usually wakes up, he was surprised to see Shinsou sitting by one of the tables of the student lounge with breakfast, well, coffee. Just coffee...
Meeting his eyes, Shinsou raised a brow, "You look like me." He grinned, "But we know I pull it off better. What kept you up, Monkey?" There was that nickname again, Ojiro sighs. He couldn't tell Shinsou he actually made a theory that Shinsou was a villain, feeling guilty, Ojiro doesn't answer his question as he started making pancakes for breakfast.
Avoiding his gaze, Ojiro responded, "I.. lost track of time...."
What an obvious excuse. "Doing what exactly?"
"....Sorry for,, splashing water on you last week. And everything..." Ojiro flips a few pancakes onto the plate, mumbling the last part.
Shinsou looked stunned for a second, Tails was apologizing? For what? I mean sure he seemed suspicious of him, Shinsou even thought Ojiro hated him, so why was he apologizing? If anything, Shinsou should probably apologize for lowkey terrorizing him. In his defense, it was funny, "Oh, it's.. fine, I'm sorry too for, I guess, teasing you too much. And... using my quirk on you to scare you,, sometimes" Good thing Ojiro was turned around, Shinsou doubts he could handle any eye contact right now.
Serving 2 plates, Ojiro placed a stack of pancake in front of Shinsou and the other for himself, a bottle of syrup on the side if they wanted to add to their pancake, glass of milk for Ojiro too.
"Can we start over..? Friends?" At least Shinsou forgave him, that's less guilt on the plate for him, "Is this a bribe?" Shinsou picked up a fork, showing that stupid grin he always has to Ojiro. Ojiro, not knowing thinking Shinsou would take the pancake apology as a bribe, gave a nervous smile, "I- ..do you take bribes?" He watched as Shinsou takes a bite.
If he wasn't grinning right now, he'd probably be smiling, thankfully his grin covered his happiness, because damn, this pancake was soft and fluffy. "Yes." He takes another bite, "Yes I do."
As they were eating, Shinsou looks up, "So why'd you, yk, throw water on me?" He asked curiously. Ojiro stopped chewing and stared at him like a kid that got caught with their hand in a cookie jar, "F-funny story haha-" He chuckled nervously.
"WOW." Shinsou said in an sarcastic offended tone, he wanted to tease Ojiro very badly for thinking he was the villain Ojiro caught. Ojiro's ears burned red, "So all those stares and all-- so you thought I was a villain, and-" Ojiro gets up and leaps out the window, "GOTTA GO TRAIN BYE" leaving in a hurry, Shinsou was left wheezing.
Oh, Mashirao better be prepared when he gets back to the dorms.
