Momo feels exhausted.
It's a bone deep exhaustion that she's not sure she has ever felt before.
But she feels it now as she closes the door to her dark apartment after the longest three days of her life.
She'd spent the past three days chasing after a group of villains, body consuming only coffee and breakfast bars that she made herself to ensure they were packed with everything she'd need for her quirk.
It was awful.
All she wants, as she slides her shoes off, checks the lock for a third time, and heads to her room, is Touya Todoroki.
But she can't have Touya because he's on an undercover mission a whole country away.
She also can't have him because they're not together in the way she wants to be, but that's not the point.
Momo's reaching her bedroom door when she notices purple under the door, and her heart races as her tired body drops into a crouch, fingers tugging out her comm to click onto the channel Shouto is on during his patrols.
"Sho, someone's in my apartment," says Momo quietly as she hears a whirling noise as she stops beside her door.
"Oh, it's about time you called about that. It's Touya, take the cuddles, Momo," says Shouto as the door swings open showing the older man that is supposed to be out of the country.
"Hey, Princess, heard you've had a few rough days and could use a good hug," says Touya sheepishly as he scratches at his neck. "I can cuddle you too, if you want."
"I definitely want," breathes Momo as she falls into his arms, wrapping her arms limply around his neck as he pulls her close. "Whatever you're comfortable with, I want, and you can leave before I wake up because there's no way this isn't a dream."
"It's not a dream, Princess, but let's get you to bed anyway," murmurs Touya in amusement as he quickly adjusts to pick her up bridal-style and carry her to her own bed, climbing on with her in his arms. He doesn't speak again until he's curled around her on the bed, her fingers laced with his around her waist. "Get some sleep, Princess. If I'm not here when you wake up, I'll leave a note for you to read."
This dream is heaven-sent. Exactly what she needs.
Momo falls asleep with a whispered confession falling from her tongue to dream Touya, "I love you, Touya Todoroki, thank you for cuddling me."
In his warmth, she succumbs to the sleep she so desperately needs.
