"Keep Up!"

~Momo~

Having a large house like I do (I'm finally admitting it, I practically live in a mansion), it's not hard to hide Shoto from Mom, but that doesn't stop me from worrying.

When it's morning, I run on my tiptoes to Shoto's room and knock lightly

"Momo?"

He unlocks the door and I step in.

"Good morning, Momo." Shoto rubs his eyes and sleepiness slurs his words together. He kisses my cheek and falls back onto the bed.

Shoto is lazy. It's hilarious.

"Howrr you?"

"I'm fine, Shoto. We're going to have to go to the mall today to buy you clothes, if you really never want to go back to your house. But we gotta go before school, and check out our new dorm rooms!"

Ever since the crazy stuff happened with the villains and summer camp, UA has installed dormitories for us so that we stay protected.

So, Shoto doesn't haven't to stay at my house for much longer, only on weekends, if he doesn't choose to just stay at school.

It's good because I don't have to worry about Mom finding him, but I kinda like having him at my house; he's always around.

"I washed your clothes, go take a shower and put them back on and we can eat breakfast and GO!" I have our whole routine worked out in my brain so we can go shopping and get to school on time.

"Momo... slow down," is the last thing I hear before I close his door.

~Shoto~

After a quick breakfast, Momo wheels her suitcase to the door.

"You're really going to bring all of that with you?"

"Mhm." 

"Don't you think it'll be difficult dragging it through the mall?"

"I can manage," Momo says.

I love that she's so determined, but I shake my head at her thinking she'll be able to keep up with that heavy thing till we get to UA.

We have five minutes before we have to leave.

Momo lets go of the suitcase and walks over to me. She sits on my lap and leans her head on my shoulder.

"Dammit," I curse suddenly.

"What's wrong with you, babe?" Momo grins.

"We've only got five minutes, that's what's wrong with me," I groan. Momo full-out laughs at me. She covers her mouth as she snickers.

Then, out of nowhere, Momo grabs me by my shoulders and kisses me. She wraps her leg around mine. 

"Love you," she whispers in between kisses.

"Love you too."

We keep this up, hoping to make the most out of five minutes. I ignore the slight pain in my ribs as I continue to kiss her. My hands slide from her hair to her shoulders to her hips. She massages my back as I kiss her neck. All I can hear are the birds from outside and Momo's short breaths.

Then, an alarm sounds from Momo's phone. We break apart to look at her phone vibrating on the table. 

"Ah, f--k," I stare at her phone with an intense hate.

"Alright, time to go, To-Shoto!" She scrambles off of me (much to my disappointment) and grabs her suitcase, running to the front door.

"Race you to the car, Shoto!"

"That's not fair, you're nearer the car!"

She sticks her tongue out at me and begins to run, I chase her to the car, shutting the locked front door behind me.

She gets to the car first.

"Well, here's your award for winning and your punishment for cheating, rolled into one. You ready?" My grin is devilish and mischievous. 

"No, Shoto!"

Despite her protests, I reach out and tickle her until she is screaming with laughter.

"Stop it! Stop it Shoto, you stop it right now!" She chokes out in between hysterical giggles.

She starts tickling me as well,  and I hear myself laugh. It doesn't sound right, it doesn't sound like a sound I should be able to make. But I can, and Momo has helped me realize that.

~Momo~

We have to take the bus to go to the mall. People keep staring at me with my large suitcase. I glare at them until they focus their attention on something else.

Once we get to the mall, we rush off to the men's department to buy Shoto clothes. I want desperately to beat the time.

Shoto doesn't really care what he wears, as long as the clothes look decent enough, so we're able to get to school on time.

--

At lunch, I tell my friends all about Shoto staying with me in my home.

I am not at all prepared for the eruption of no-good giggles aimed at me. I roll my eyes at them, but I fail to stop myself from blushing, as well.

"Shacking up, are we?" (Ashido)

"Now I know why the smirk emoji's there" (Kyoka)

"Does sound a little suspicious, eh, Yao-Momo?" (Tsu)

"Is he sleeping in your bed, Yaoyorozu?" (Hagakure)

"Eheheheheheheheheheheheheheeeeehee" (Uraraka)

"You all are insane, but no, we're not 'shacking up' it was just a couple of nights, he's staying at the dorms in the school now, of course. I already told you Kyoka, the smirk emoji's there as a joke and no he wasn't sleeping in my bed he had his own room!" My face is red after it all but I find myself laughing with everyone else.

"Well, you guys wanna hear more news?" Ashido pipes up.

"Sure," says Hagakure.

"Kirishima-kun and I are dating, he asked me out last week, well we asked each other, actually. It was kinda cute... anyway, we're-- yeah, we're dating." I can see a bit of red add itself to her pink complexion.

Everyone cheers her on and teases her, and I'm glad to not be on the receiving end of the teasing for a change.

Hearing this, Hagakure speaks up. "Ojiro and I are dating, as well."

Giggles and cheers and ridiculing erupt from the table.

"We're just waiting on KamiJiro and IzuOcha, then, aren't we? Come on, keep up!" I tease.

The faces of Kyoka and Uraraka go red, and I smile with the satisfaction that comes with revenge.

~Shoto~

I find out at lunch that Kirishima and Ojiro are both in relationships. Bakugo pretends to choke as he cuts his eyes at us.

"You disgust me."

I ignore Bakugo; he clearly doesn't know that I notice the way he looks when Utsushimi Camie's walking in front of him. It's disgusting, but it's a part of him I don't normally see.

"You're already with the Ponytail Girl, Icy-Hot?"

"It's Yaoyorozu Momo, but sure."

"Have you really been staying with her?" He smirks.

I roll my eyes and eat more of my food, which unfortunately, tells Bakugo all he needs to know. He gives a soft chuckle but says no more.

--

Aizawa explains about the dorms and why we're going to be staying there now except for on weekends.

After class, while everyone else leaves, I stay to help poor Momo struggle with her books and suitcases.

"If you needed help, sweetie, you could've just asked," I chuckle.

"Just help me."

I carry her books while she handles her suitcases. She sits on a desk to drink some of her water bottle. Once she puts it away, I walk up to the desk before she can stop me and kiss her.

"Ahem."

We turn around to see Aizawa picking up a book from his desk, shaking his head. 

"So... you two are dating?"

"Mhm," Momo says softly.

"Yes, sir," I say.

"Just remember, I couldn't let you stay at UA, if you, somehow, ended up pregnant at any time, Yaoyorozu. And... Todoroki. Treat her with respect." Then, he leaves with a "and don't stay in here doing what you're doing, I want you out of here, class ended."

We stare in the direction of the doorway, blushing like crazy.

Then, at once, we break out into laughter.

~Momo~

The next weekend, I have some friends over at my house, including Shoto.

"And so he said... he couldn't let me stay at UA if I ended up... pregnant!" I manage to get out between laughs.

Everyone dissolves into laughter and giggling. Kyoka is covering her mouth with both her hands as she laughs uncontrollably. 

Then I hear a warm voice say "Well, you never know what could happen."

My eyes widen; I easily recognize Shoto's voice.

Everyone laughs like I've never heard laughter before. I'm covering my entire face with my small hands and I hear Shoto laughing too.

And though I blush furiously, I allow myself laughter as well. I know Shoto's only joking, it's just I rarely hear him joke.

I remember Shoto telling me that Endeavor thinks I'm bad for him.

You're wrong. I'm anything but.
