Shouto likes theorizing. It isn't anything new to his classmates, of course, but you could only imagine their surprise when late one particular Thursday evening, Kaminari practically bursted through the door to the dorm common area, holding his phone up high like a piece of crucial evidence in court.
"Guys guys you won't believe what I just found!" He exlaimed, making a bee-line to the livingroom table where about a third of the class was gathered around to play Carcassonne together.
"Nice man, what did you find?" Kirishima enthusiastically asked while taking a tile from the pile. "Aww, more road."
It wasn't uncommon for Kaminari to be exited from somethig he had found online, so the class wasn't too interested. Last time this had happened Kaminari had been hyped over for a clip with someone riding a hot red motorcycle.
"So, you know how like I'm in this community on Tumblr, right? Like the one with all these cool dudes and theories and all?" Kaminari sat next to him, almost showing his phone in Kirishima's face. "And there's this some new-ish guy that has been posting these crazy ideas and theories like crazy!"
Kirishima chuckled at Kaminari's exitement and gently pushed his phone out of his face. Everyone playing had tuned in to the conversation, with the exeption of Shouto that was reading the rules again for whatever he needed for. "Sounds cool Kamibro. So, what about him?"
This seemed to make Kaminari even more exited. "Okay so like, his username is-" Kaminari checks his phone "-'Flagofmaltabelike'."
The whole table was quiet for a moment, with the exeption of Shouto, who is still skimming through the rules.
"...Their name is 'Flag of Malta be like'?" Ojiro asked hesitantly.
Kaminari nodded again. "That's him! But anyway- He like, posts a ton of theories and they're really detailed and they make sense! And like, today he posted a new theory, and like, it talks about Aizawa-sensei and it's so cool!"
That got the attention of almost everyone present. The boardgame had been forgotten by everyone but one, and even Bakugo and Uraraka who had been making dinner in the kitchen peered out from the kitchen.
"Huh? They have a theory about sensei?" Mina asked again and tried to peek over Kaminari's shoulder and look at the phone, resulting in her squeeling high-pitch and jumping up from her seat, shaking Kaminari. "Denksss! Why didn't you tell me about this!?"
That made everyone else even more eager to know what exactly Kaminari had found. Now Kirishima, Sero and Midoriya were also trying to see it all the same. Bakugou tried to look uninterested but litellary anyone that had known him longer than a week that he was, infact, very interested in the conversation.
"What is it, Mina?" Uraraka asked from the kitchen doorway. "What does it say?"
Mina immediadly let go of Kaminari, who sighed a breath of relief. "It says that Aizawa-sensei is married!"
"What?"
"Really?"
"Wow, spill the tea!"
The whole room had exploded in surprised exlamations, and Kaminari was willing to bet two hundred yen that Bakugou almost exploded the batter bowl in his hand, if the faint smell of caramel in the air was any indicator.
Someone had pulled out their phone and searched the theorist guy and soon found the said tumblr.
Everyone's phones dinged as a notification came in. They checked their phones, and then clicked the link to the tumblr that Sero had sent in the class' groupchat. The room quieted for a while again, before all hell broke loose.

"Now the only question left is who is he married to," Mina declared.
"Oh, it's Mic-sensei," Shouto said, still reading the rules. "They have identical rings."
The mess that was the class 1A common rooms silenced at once yet again. Everyone's heads slowly turned to stare at Shouto, who just calmly turned the page.
"...What." Ojiro broke the silence.
"I mean yeah, they have identical rings, they are the same age and seem oddly close," Shouto cleared.
"How do you know that, you didn't even look at the post-.. Oh," Uraraka started, but then her eyes widened in understanding and a sly grin appeared on her face. "That explains the username."
Midoriya's face reddened slightly and he shrieked, as he had scrolled down the older posts, and stumbling over one about how he is All Might's secret love child. "I- I- What? I'm not- Shoutoo how are you corrupting everyone?"
Shouto tilted his head "It makes sense. Your quirks are almost identical. Therefore you are related somehow," he deadpanned. "And I'm not corrupting anyone, I'm simply educating them."
