Work Text:
It was another day at U.A. High School. Momo ran to her first class where she found Uraraka, Lida, and Midoriya.
-Sorry I'm late, I had to go to the principal's office—She explains.
-It's okay, you're not that late—Lida says normally.
-So I wanted to know, did you guys do your homework? I was a little confused about the last question—Uraraka asks the three of them.
-We can help you before the teacher arrives—Midoriya says, taking the book from his backpack and the four of them sat down on the seat to talk about the problem that Uraraka had the doubt about.
For Momo, the best time was the first and second classes. That was the time she saw her friends. Uraraka, Lida and Midoriya in the first class and in the second they met Tsu and Todoroki. But the problem was the third, fourth, fifth and lunch time. Why? Well, you'll see...
The bell had already rang for the third class.
-Well, I have to go guys—Momo says with a tired face, already knowing what was coming.
-Good luck Momo—Tsu says.
-See you at lunch—Todoroki says and everyone separates.
Momo went to her third class, the class she hated the most, not because of the subject but because of who was there.
She entered the English classroom and sat at her desk and remained quiet. She picked up a book and started reading. It wasn't long before a noise entered the room. Momo didn't look away from the book.
She started to hear the sound of footsteps getting closer. She didn't want to look up. That was when someone took her book and threw it on the floor. She looked up and saw a girl standing in front of her and some people behind her. Obviously it was Kyoka Jirou and her little group. The "bullies" and "popular" kids of the school, if you want to put it that way.
Kyoka for some reason, Momo didn't know why, loved to tease her, and obviously her little group just laughed. Not to mention Denki Kaminari, another one who loved to tease her too. They never got along.
-Good morning, hot nerd—Denki said approaching Momo. Momo rolled her eyes and ignored them and tried to pick up the book that was on the floor. Kyoka stepped on the book, preventing Momo from picking it up. Momo looked at her, and Kyoka shook her head smiling before kicking the book further away from Momo.
She and her group laughed. They went to the front where their seats were. Momo stood up and picked up her book from the floor. Every day was the same, every day they picked on her, in all three classes. Momo never understood why, but she always tried to ignore it. Kyoka was the worst of all, Denki would just say inappropriate comments to Momo, now Kyoka was something else. Momo really wanted to know why the two of them were like that with her. But if Momo said an A, she could make the situation even worse. So the best option for Momo was to just keep quiet.
At the beginning of the year, Momo had fallen in love with the purple-haired girl. It was when she had entered the locker room after physical education class, Momo thought that all the girls had already left so she decided to change. But she saw Kyoka coming out of the shower with the towel wrapped around her body but her body and hair were still wet. Momo fell in love right away, the girl looked hot like that. But today she can't believe that she fell in love with someone like that so she just forgot. Of course, not yet, Momo still has feelings for her, but ignores it knowing that the girl won't reciprocate the feeling and will get more teased.
Well, that's what Momo thought.
The next day, Momo was going to sit alone at lunch because Lida, Tsu and Todoroki were on a field trip, and by some coincidence Uraraka and Midoriya were absent that day. So she was alone.
She grabbed her snack and was on her way to her table when she bumped into Jirou and Denki. Jirou pushed her, making her almost fall and spill her food on top of her. Momo turned to them and they both looked at her laughing. She ignored them and went to her table.
Momo started eating calmly, not paying attention to anything. That was until she felt someone touch her shoulder.
-Hey, kitty—A man said—Are you alone? Do you want to come sit with me? If you know what I mean—He smiled mischievously.
-No thanks—She said without looking at him.
-Oh come on, kitty—He grabbed her arm.
-No thanks—Momo repeated.
-It wasn't a question, now I'm telling you to come—The man grabbed her arm.
-I'm not going!—Momo tried to get away from the guy but she couldn't and the grip got stronger . Momo was already starting to get scared. What should she do?
In the background, two people saw the situation and went over there.
-The idiot—Kyoka took the man's hand off Momo's arm and pushed him—Don't you know what "no" means? Or am I going to have to teach you?
-Who do you think you are?—He get closer to Kyoka, who didn't move.
-Someone who knows what no means, and is smarter than an idiot here.
-Look here—He was going to attack Kyoka but she still didn't move. Denki appeared at her side and pulled the guy away from Kyoka.
-Look here, who do you think you are to want to do something with a woman?
-I don't talk to idiots—He rolled his eyes.
-But we do, keep going—Kyoka replied.
-You love to make fun of, don't you, cutie.
-I love it—Kyoka smiled.
-I want to see when I wipe that smile off your face.
-How about you get lost? Because I'm the one who's going to beat you up—Denki says, pulling Kyoka back a little.
-You guys pay me—The boy turned and starts to leave. Kyoka and Denki turned to Momo.
-Are you okay?—Denki asks. Momo couldn't believe what happened. Did they just defend her?
-Yeah—Momo looked at her food.
-How long has that idiot been messing with you?—Kyoka crossed her arms.
-It's been a while—Momo replied.
-What did he do?—Denki looks at her.
-He keeps talking about things, you know, sexual—When Momo said that, she looked at the two of them and saw anger in their eyes. Kyoka turned around and saw the boy a little far away from them.
-Hey, son of a bitch!—Kyoka yelled enough for him to hear and turn around, as well as for almost everyone in the cafeteria to look at her—Meet us after school, let's talk.
The guy didn't answer but smiled and continued walking. Kyoka turned to Momo.
-You're going to sit with us today.
-What?—Momo was confused.
-That's what you heard—Denki took her food and Kyoka grabbed her arm, forcing Momo to follow them. The three of them went to the table where Kyoka and Denki's group were.
-Go to the side, she'll sit there—Kyoka said to one of the boys who was sitting in a seat next to her. He left and pulled another chair to sit somewhere else at the table—And you sit here—Kyoka made Momo sit in the chair next to her. Denki put her food in front of her again and sat down. No one said anything, Momo was more confused than probably almost everyone at that table.
-So, are we going to fight today?—Bakugou asked, smiling.
-Yes, and I don't want you guys getting involved—Denki said.
-That's not funny—Bakugou threw himself into his chair and rolled his eyes.
-I feel like killing someone. And I'm going to take this out on him. So, thanks for wanting to help, but we're fine—Kyoka said, eating.
-Oh, but I'll see—A girl said. Momo didn't understand what they were talking about, but decided not to ask and just eat.
When school ended, Momo understood what was going to happen.
She was at the school door, waiting for her driver, who would take a while. That's when she heard shouting and a bunch of people gathering in one place, surrounded by something.
Obviously, Momo's curiosity got the better of her, so she went to see what it was. She tried to get to the center of that people. It wasn't easy, but she tried. When she arrived, she saw Kyoka, Denki and the man facing each other. Momo didn't understand. What were they trying to do?
-Would you like to have the honor of starting?—Denki said, smiling at Kyoka.
-I would love to—She smiled—Hey! Aren't you a man? Come on.
It didn't take long for the guy to go after her to throw a punch. But Kyoka dodged it, making him miss. She punched him, causing him to almost fall backwards. He managed to stay on his feet, but felt another punch from Denki. The guy was starting to bleed a little, but he got up and tried to hit them both.
Everyone around was filming the fight and shouting "go!", "let's go!", or "finish him off". Momo was scared and when she realized where the fight was, she saw the guy lying on the ground with Jirou and Denki on top of him, still beating him. They only stopped when they heard someone in the group say, "Okay! He's almost out."
The two stopped and looked at the guy. He was shaking a little and hurt. Kyoka looked at him and grabbed his face, forcing him to look at her.
-If we see you near her again, we'll end you. Without mercy and worse than now, do you understand me?—Kyoka's tone had changed. The guy didn't answer—Are you listening to me?!
-Y-yes!—He answered in fear.
-If you dare look at her, we'll end you. Are we being clear with you?—Denki asks.
-Y-yes
-Then get out—Denki says and Kyoka lets him go. The guy got up and ran away without saying an A. Kyoka wiped the little blood that was on her mouth and the two turned around to see Momo looking in shock. When Momo realized that they were looking at her, she left as fast as she could. Kyoka and Denki didn't go after her, they just looked at each other.
—————
The next day, Momo told her friends everything that happened, who didn't believe her either.
-Are you telling me they fought with the guy who tried to abuse you?—Uraraka asks.
-Yes! On top of that, they threatened him saying that if he looked at me or got near me, they would beat him up!—Momo explains.
-Oh my—Midoriya said, shocked.
-That's kind of weird. Did they talk to you?—Todoroki asks.
-NO! You know what's getting weirder? They didn't bother me like they do every day!—Momo says.
-Wait what?—Tsu raises an eyebrow.
-Every day in third period, when they come into the room, they go straight to my desk to torment me. But not today! They entered the classroom and sat down normally in their seats!—Momo explains—And in the other class, they didn't say anything, not even a comment, nothing, to me.
-Okay, there's something there—Uraraka says.
-Well, I think they finally realized what they were doing was wrong—Lida said.
-No—Todoroki stops him—Out of nowhere? No. Something happened.
-Oh, I just wanted to know what was going on in their minds so I could understand—Momo lies down on the arm that was resting on the table.
-Speaking of them—Tsu adds—They're looking this way.
Momo heard this and looked at Tsu confused. Tsu pointed behind her and then Momo turned her head only to find them looking at her. Momo quickly turned her head.
-Do they want to kill me?—Momo says desperately.
-I think you're thinking too much—Midoriya says.
Momo buried her head in her arm again.
-I'm screwed—She grumbles.
————-
Momo was in math class looking at her notes from today's lesson. Until Kyoka and Denki approached her.
-Hey Momo—Kyoka calls the brunette's attention, which makes her look at them a little scared.
-Yes?
-So—Denki begins—We didn't understand anything about today's subject, and the test will be soon. So we wanted to know if you could help us after school?
-(Wait.. HUH?! They want MY help? Like.. ME HELPING THEM?! OMG what's going on with my life?)—Momo's mind was confused now. Was it real?
-It's okay if you don't want to help us. We understand—Kyoka says.
-No! It's okay. I'll help you guys—Momo says normally.
-Really?! What a relief—Denki said.
-So can it be at my house?—Kyoka asked.
-Sure.
-Okay then, we'll see each other later—They leave, leaving a confused Momo behind.
————
For some reason, everything changed between Momo, Kyoka, and Denki after Momo went to Kyoka's house to help them with their homework.
Kyoka and Denki stopped bothering her. One day, the two of them came and called Momo and her friends to sit with them during lunch time. When they passed the math test, they came to thank the brunette and celebrated with her.
It was different.
Momo was in front of her locker, putting her things away. When she closed it, she bumped into Kyoka leaning against the lockers and Denki next to her.
-Hi—Momo says.
-Hey!—Denki answers her.
-So, there's going to be a little party at my house today. Like every Friday. I wanted to know if you want to come—Kyoka says to Momo.
-Wait, today? Me?—Momo asks confused.
-If is alright—Denki says.
-I'll see if I can go with my dad—Momo says.
-Okay then. We'll meet at the school entrance to get the answer—Kyoka says and Momo nodded.
Momo called her dad to ask. He let her. So at the end of school she went to the entrance to meet them.
-He let me go. So that's a yes. I'll go—Momo says smiling.
-Great, do you want to go with us now?—Denki asks.
-I don't have any clothes here—Momo says.
-Is okay. I'll lend you borrow my clothes—Kyoka says.
-Okay then.
The three of them go to Denki's car. They leave their backpacks in the trunk and get in the car. Denki got behind the wheel, obviously, and Kyoka sat in the front while Momo sat in the back.
-Let me put on the music. Yours are terrible—Kyoka said, taking the cell phone from the blond's hand.
-Okay! No need to offend—Denki said. Momo tried to hold herself back from laughing.
-(Maybe it's not that bad)—Momo thought.
————
It was already night and there were a lot of people gathered at Kyoka's house. Everyone was in the living room talking and drinking. Momo didn't drink, so she just drank water.
The doorbell rang and Kyoka went to see who it was.
-Momo?—Momo heard a familiar voice and turned around.
-Todoroki?! What are you doing here?!—Momo asked confused. Todoroki grabbed her arm and dragged her to the kitchen, where there was no one—Okay, are you going to tell me?
-Did you forget that I'm dating someone?—Todoroki crossed his arms.
-I remember, but you never said who it was.
-Oh yeah. It's Sero—He speaks normally.
-Oh SERO?!
-Shut up! Are you crazy? Yes, it's him. And since he's Kyoka's friend, I came along. Now, why are you here?
-Kyoka and Denki invited me—Momo answers.
-Oh, so they finally made a move?
-What do you mean?
-You don't know?—Todoroki is confused.
-No, what's wrong?
-Forget it. Nothing major—He tries to change the subject.
-Go ahead!—Momo pats his shoulder. Todoroki grumbles.
-You're not supposed to tell anyone that I told you. And you're acting like you don't know, do you understand me?—Momo nodded and Todoroki let out a sigh—Sero told me that the two of them told him that they like you.
Momo's jaw dropped. Her cheeks turned red.
-Wh... WHAT?!
-That's why they picked on that guy. That's why they stopped tormenting you. They like you.
-They love me?—Momo asked shocked.
-Isn't that what I said?—Todoroki raised an eyebrow. Momo didn't say anything, she just listened to her thoughts. Until Todoroki spoke up—Look on the bright side, you like Kyoka already. Your feelings will be reciprocated.
-But Denki... I never thought about him.—She thought for a moment.
-Oh, I already noticed you admiring him during gym. You think he's hot, you admit it—Todoroki teased her, which made Momo blush even more.
-THAT'S NOT THE POINT! And shut up. You're a poet when you're quiet—She crossed her arms.
- Well, I don't know when they're going to talk to you about this, but get ready~ Maybe you'll have them in bed today—Todoroki leaves, turning Momo into a pepper from what he said.
-SHUT UP!
—————
-(Me? They like me? How? No.. this must be some mistake)—Momo was in the living room, sitting on the couch, thinking. Her thoughts only went away when she saw the two approaching her. She felt desperate.
-Momo, are you standing there, is everything okay?—Denki asked.
-Y-yeah! Don't worry.
-You don't want anything? You said you don't drink, but there's wine, I don't know if you like it—Kyoka comments.
-I-I'll have some wine. T-thanks.
-Okay, I'll get it—Kyoka goes to the kitchen.
-Let's go with the guys—Denki takes her hand and goes to the circle the guys made. They were playing truth or dare. Well, in their own way.
-Do you want to join?—Mina asks the two.
-Oh, I'm in, do you want to?—Denki asks Momo.
-Oh, okay—Momo smiled.
-COME ON KYOKA! GET IN THIS SHIT!—Bakugou shouted at Kyoka who was still in the kitchen.
-OH, YOU'RE ANNOYING!—She come to the living room holding a glass of wine—Here—Kyoka handed it to Momo, who thanked her, and sat down next to her.
-Okay, now we can continue—Mina says.
A few rounds were made. Until it was Sero's turn.
-Momo, truth or dare?
-Truth—She answered.
-Is there anyone you like? If so, is it someone from here?—Sero asks. Momo turned a little red and lowered her head.
-Look...
-Dude, what's this for?—Denki asks.
-You don't have to answer if you don't want to—Kyoka puts her hand on her shoulder.
-No, it's okay. Yes, I like someone. And... yes, it's someone from here—Momo answered Sero's question. Sero glanced at Kyoka and Denki. They both looked away. And the game continued as normal.
The night went on. Music playing, people dancing, drinking, some just talking. It was fun. Momo ended up forgetting a little about what Todoroki told her earlier and was calmly drinking her wine until Kyoka and Denki called her to go upstairs, where Kyoka's room is, so they could talk. That's when Momo's despair hit again.
When they got to Kyoka's room, the youngest closed the door and locked it.
-So?... did something happen?—Momo asked a little nervously.
-So...—Kyoka looks at Denki and then at Momo—We wanted to... apologize. We shouldn't have done what we did during these years...
-Look, it's all be-..
-Wait, let us finish—Kyoka interrupts her. Momo whispered "I'm sorry" then Kyoka continues—You shouldn't have gone through that..
-We're going to be honest—Denki starts then lowers his head—It's kind of stupid what we want to tell you but... We mistreated you like that...—Denki stops, it was like the words didn't want to come out.
-Because we like you—Kyoka speaks for him. They both turned a little red, it was more out of embarrassment. Momo didn't say anything, she just listened, but her cheeks also heated up.
-We did this because we didn't want to accept it, and even more so because we've never had this feeling for anyone—Denki explains as he looks at Momo—Obviously it's stupid, and it's okay if you don't believe it.
-Look...—Momo thinks for a moment—I'm not going to lie either, I have feelings for you Kyoka, but a while ago, I started to feel the same way about you Denki.
-Really?—Denki asked and Momo nodded, embarrassed.
-Well?—Kyoka asked Momo.
Momo got up from the bed and walked towards the two. When she got close to the two, she sealed her lips with theirs. A quick peck and walked away.
-You know—She smiled and walked towards the door, leaving the two blushing behind. Denki and Kyoka looked at each other and smiled.
When Momo was going to open the door, she felt two hands holding her arm. She smiled and turned around, her lips meeting their again.
