No matter how hard she tried and how tired she was, Momo couldn’t fall asleep. She had been tossing and turning since she lay down, but she hadn’t felt any kind of sleepiness. She was still high on adrenaline and had no idea what to do about it.
In the end, she lifted up her comforters and climbed out of her king-sized bed. She walked out of her room. She took her way towards the kitchen, trying to be as quiet as possible. She didn’t except, however, that someone else would be there too.
A small grasp left her lips when she saw the figure standing in front of the microwave. The other turned around and Momo found herself face to face with two curious, mismatching eyes.
”Yaoyorozu,” the boy said, tightening his grip around the mug in his hands.
”G-good evening, Todoroki-san!” Momo greeted him, bowing deeply. She felt her cheeks hearing up. She still remembered vividly how supportive the other was when she needed it the most.
”Can’t sleep?” Shouto asked, walking up to her. Momo looked up and Shouto sucked in a breath. She was always one of the most attractive girls in class, but he had never seen her with her hair down.
”It looks like I am still a bit high on adrenaline,” she said with a growing blush on her face. Without any warning, Todoroki pushed the mug in her hands, turning his face away. ”Todoroki-san?”
”Drink it. Hot chocolate always helped me fall asleep,” he said, then walked back to the cupboards to see if there is more powder from which he could make another drink. From the way his body stilled, Momo could tell there wasn’t.
”I really don’t want to drink your helping drink, Todoroki-san,” Momo said, walking closer. Shouto turned around and his cheeks became warm. She was more beautiful from that close. ”Your face is really red. Are you okay?” The girl asked worriedly and placed her hand on Todoroki’s forehead.
Todoroki closed his eyes and leaned into the touch instinctively. Yaoyorozu’s hand was so soft the boy wished she would never pull it away from his forehead. Ought to his closed eyes, he couldn’t see as a deep blush appeared on the girl’s face and as she bit into her lips to hold back a gasp.
”You’d be a really good mother someday,” the boy mumbled, without realizing what he had just said.
”E-excuse me?!” Momo exclaimed quietly, stepping a few steps back.
When he felt the soft touch leaving his forehead, Shouto looked up with disappointment in his eyes and Momo was sure she saw a small pout on his lips. Maybe it was because of her exhausted state, she raised up her free hand without a second thought and started petting him on the top of his head.
That had to be appealing, because Shouto leaned in her touch and let out a noise which Momo easily could call a purr. She petted his hair for a few minutes, then pulled his hand away once again. She put her mug down to the kitchen table and took her classmate by his hand.
They walked hand in hand towards the elevator and Momo didn’t let him go even after the sliding doors closed behind them. When they reached the floor her room was at. Momo and Shouto tiptoed to the door, then stepped in, Momo closing the door behind them.
She pulled the boy to her bed and pushed him down gently. Shouto crawled next to the wall, so the girl could climb in too. Momo lay down to her side with her back against the boy’s chest. She felt arms wrapping around her middle and her breath caught in her throat.
Todoroki hid his face in her hair and breathed in with a low humm. Momo felt warmth radiating from the body behind hers and a small smile appeared on her lips. She closed her eyes and felt as the well needed sleep took over her mind.
