T u e s d a y : December 12th
Unfortunately, it was one of those days where Momo is unable to concentrate and today is crucial because currently, her class is reviewing the materials they’ve learned for an upcoming test that is on Thursday and she really do appreciate her teacher thoroughly explaining each problem the student had difficulties with because they have helped her and her peers out tremendously. Since she felt that it was not enough to completely understand the materials, Momo decides to go over the review they went through today after class.
However, there is a certain classmate of hers boggling her mind. She believes it started a few weeks ago when her mind has been acting quite strange. Momo began gazing at Todoroki more than usual. It only took her a few days for her to be fully aware of her action, but she is still unsure as to why she is behaving like this.
A moment where she finally came to a realization of her action was when she was eating her lunch with her friends at the cafeteria and was staring at the certain boy with heterochromia eyes while the girls were gossiping with one of another.
The boy took a spoonful of his chicken curry and was looking at Midoriya who seemed to be explaining something enthusiastically while using hand motions to emphasize his point.
Due to Momo not engaging in the discussion, the girls decided to ask Momo her opinion on she think is the most attractive boy in their class, but not long after, they realized she was staring intently at something in the distance--which explained why she was silent. They all followed her gaze and when they saw who she was looking at, they simultaneously shoot her a quizzical look but soon, their lips curved into a smirk.
Still oblivious to her surroundings and her action, Momo continues to stare at the boy with soft eyes. As for Todoroki, he has been sensing that someone is staring at him and subconsciously, he roamed his eyes the premise of the cafeteria while listening to Midoriya go on a tangent as to how he plans on studying for their upcoming test.
His eyes came in contact with a pair of obsidian cat-shaped eyes, not long after, the contact came to cease. Momo whipped her head away and gasped quietly when she realized the girls were looking at her with shit-eating grins.
Mina hunches over the lunch table, “O.M.G. Does our vice class president has her eyes set on pretty boy of class 1-A~?” she couldn’t help but snicker.
Completely flabbergasted by what Mina said, Momo’s mouth dropped open and before she could protest, the girls began bombarding her with quick-to-judge questions.
“When did you develop feelings for him?”
“How long have you been crushing on him?”
“Does he know you that you like him?”
In the end, Momo wasn’t able to convince all of her friends that she does not like Todoroki that way and that she was simply contemplating about their upcoming test. But deep deep down she knew very well she was not thinking of their test.
The class was finished today and for some reason, Momo was feeling quite exhausted. During the last ten minutes of class, she felt her eyelids threatening to fall, but before she allows herself to fall asleep in the middle of class, she pats her cheeks to wake her up and surprisingly, that helped her from dozing off.
Momo picked up her school bag that was placed near her desk and placed it on top of the wooden surface. She lets out a weary yawn into her hand and resumes placing her materials into her bag.
‘Should I take a power nap before I study?’ she thought to herself.
A nap sounded so blissful to Momo right now, but she knows she should be studying for this test. Momo decided to go against it and just power through the day studying, then go to bed at a reasonable time, than opposed to taking a nap and staying up very late.
It was only one pm and for her to grind through the day, she needed at least a cup of coffee. It is somewhat late to be sipping caffeine, but it seems to be the only option that will guarantee her to stay awake for the duration of her study.
Momo soon then maneuver her arm through the handles of her school bag and hooked it around her right shoulder. She then rises from her seat and pushes the wooden chair in its designated spot. Without looking up, she bumps into someone’s chest and in an instinct, she looks up and was faced with a set of heterochromia eyes.
His mouth was slightly gaped open and before he could apologize, Momo apologized frantically and quickly removed herself from the situation by pacing herself out the classroom. Before she exited herself out of the room, the boy caught a glimpse of her rose-colored cheeks.
Not thinking much of it, he soon left the empty classroom and made his way to the dormitory.
It’s about 8 pm and currently, the students from class I-A are in their dormitory.
In one of the many dorms, Jirou is currently laying on her stomach with her chin resting in her palm while her elbow is propped up.on Momo’s bed, skimming through a Vogue magazine, while Momo is sitting on her vanity stool, combing through her long tangled black locks.
The girls were taking a break from studying and decided to continue tomorrow since they have already studied a couple of hours. Previously, the other girls; Ochaco, Tsuyu, Mina, and Tooyu was in it too, but they decided to go back to their dorm to rest up after frying their brain from the long study session.
Jirou lets out a yawn and felt the tears brimming along her waterlines. No doubt about it, she was tired and was planning on leaving soon.
“When you sleeping, Momo?”
Momo quietly hummed to herself and said, “Mmm, probably in an hour or so.”
If Jirou wasn’t feeling exhausted, she would gladly chill with her friend, but right now, she is about ready to knock out on her friend’s bed.
“Aight, I would chill with you a bit longer, but I’ma call it a night." Before Jirou could finish her sentence, she quietly yawns into her palm, “I'm so tired right now, I can hardly stay awake.” Jirou lifts herself from the comforter and stretches out her arms.
Momo shoots her a smile, “That’s okay, please go rest, Jirou.”
Jirou nods and shoots her back a smile, she grabs her magazine and struts her way out the door. She tells her goodnight and softly shut the door behind her. Before Momo is enveloped by silence, her stomach decided to let out a loud ferocious growl and this caused her to feel quite embarrassed of herself.
She didn’t have much of an appetite today because she was very invested in her study. Other than the meal she had for lunch at school, she only consumed small snacks such as a granola bar and a bowl of fruits, with a side of water and coffee. Knowing it is past dinner, she decided to give in and eat a small meal.
Momo soon slips into her white fluffy slippers and exited her room, heading towards the dormitory kitchen.
Expecting to see a few of her classmates lazing around at the lounge area and in the kitchen, but to her surprise, there was only one classmate in of hers seated at one of the tables in the kitchen silently eating chicken noodle soup. Her breath hitched and she immediately stopped in her tracks, he was simply wearing a white v-neck paired with black basketball shorts.
Out of everyone she could have encountered, it was the one and only, Shouto Todoroki.
He seems to not notice her presence and was fixated on the white bowl in front of him. For a moment, Momo debated whether she should just head back to her room, since still felt quite embarrassed as to what happened during lunch, but before she could come to a solid conclusion, her stomach lets out a more vicious growl and that reverberated throughout the area.
Almost instantaneous, Momo’s eyes widen and was simply utterly shocked as to what she heard. She could feel her face becoming very warm and instantly placed her palm on top of her tummy. Knowing damn well Todoroki heard it, he whipped his head up and shockingly stared at Momo with slightly wide eye.
No one said anything and this made Momo feel very uncomfortable, knowing she can’t endure this any longer, she decides to say something.
Momo frantically blinked and sheepishly smiles at him, “H-Hey, Todoroki.”
She silently cursed herself for giving in her hunger and should’ve just went to bed.
Todoroki’s face soon was washed away with his signature blank look, “There’s some leftover chicken noodle soup in the fridge that Koda made a while ago.”
Immediately, she nods and thanks him, she quickly pace herself to the fridge and grabs the handle to open it, soon after, she was presented with a large steel pot sitting in front of her, eagerly, she places her hands on both handles of the pot, slowly pulling it out and placing it on top of the counter.
Without hesitation, she removes the translucent lid of the pot and the smell of chicken as well various of vegetables filled up her nostril, delighted with the smell, she grabs a small white ceramic bowl from the cabinet and takes a ladle out of from the small cabinet in front of her.
Momo then scoops out a couple of ladle-full of soup into her bowl, satisfied with the amount, she places the ladle into the sink and places the lid back to its designated spot, then soon setting the pot back into the fridge.
After it was done reheating in the microwave, Momo made her way to where Todoroki was sitting and plopped herself in the seat in front of him. He looked up at her for a moment, not expecting to see her and soon after he resumes looking down at his food and began eating silently.
The area was lacking with lights, with only a few light bulbs turned on, thus creating a shadow on the right side of Todoroki’s face, while the other is vaguely glowing due moon shining through the tall vast window panels and perfectly towering that side of Todoroki. His eyes are what caught Momo’s attention the most, with how the lighting is, his sapphire iris twinkled a bit, replicating to polished turquoise gem, despite the other not shining as brightly, it still created an illusion that they are illuminating.
Through the embarrassingly amount of “gazes” she has done through the month, she finds Todoroki incredibly gorgeous.
“Yaoyorozu.”
The unexpected voice broke her train of thoughts and she sees Todoroki directly looking at her.
Soon she felt the familiar warmth engulfing her face, “Y-Yes?” she answers a bit too hurriedly.
“Is something the matter?"
He noticed that she had been staring at him intently and presumably thought there was something wrong and decided to shoot her a question.
“I-It’s nothing, I’ve been just...Thinking about our upcoming test." Momo let’s out a quiet nervous laugh.
She felt rather embarrassed to tell him such a thing and that is best to keep to herself.
“Considering you’ve been acing all the test we’ve had so far. I am sure you will do quite well on this test too, Yaoyorozu.”
With what he said, it threw Momo off a bit, but she couldn’t help but bashfully smile, “Thank you, Todoroki.”
“Is he trying to comfort me?” she thought to herself.
Moments after, they sat in silence and began eating their chicken noodle soup again, Momo hears a quiet, “ ahh ” in front of her and peers through her lashes to look at Todoroki placing their glass of water and is leaning back in his seat with his forearms resting above the chairs while gazing out the window to his left. He was not doing anything seductive but simply drinking his water. She found the way his posture while drinking his beverage was quite a sight to see.
After Todoroki finished drinking his water, he noticed something and raised a brow at Momo, “Aren’t you cold Yaoyozoru?”
She was currently wearing a red spaghetti tank top and black drawstring shorts. Initially, she was feeling rather cold, but after seeing that sight of him drinking water, she was far from feeling cold.
Momo sheepishly smiles, “Actually...I’m feeling quite hot right now.”
Todoroki shoots her a bewildered look and stares at her flushed face.
