Together... For Now

~Momo~

"Shoto!"

He walks inside, with Jiro and Ashido at his sides. My heart fills with joy at the sight of him. 

"You," Mom says, but it lacks the hatred that I remember. Now her voice just sounds like a question.

"Hello, Yaoyorozu-san."

Ashido tried to remain still, as to give off the implication that she's serious, but she breaks down and runs toward me, taking me in her arms, Jiro follows and the two of them are giving me a group hug suddenly.

I've missed my girlfriends so much and more tears roll down my cheeks.

And behind them, stands Shoto, even more muscular than he was all those months ago. He's still got the multicolored hair I loved, and the heterochromatic eyes. 

And he's still so damn hot.

I don't think humans should be allowed that level of attractiveness. 

"Shoto!"

Before I know it, I've run into his arms. He's gripping my shoulders and I'm pulling his hair so much I fear it may hurt him.

We don't let go. This is making up for months of lost time.

Mom says nothing. She just curiously onlooks. Dad, on the other hand, explodes in rage.

"EVERYTHING IS RUINED! DO YOU REALIZE THIS?!" He then takes his two hands ad pries Shoto and I apart. "KEEP AWAY FROM HER!"

Shoto barely hears me, He's too busy looking into my eyes.

"I missed you."

"I missed you too, To-Shoto".

Father pulls me aside and says "Get out of my house! What is with you kids and doing your best to destroy everything I am trying to create!"

"I feared Momo was in danger and I was correct," Shoto says, unfazed. "She's not safe in the same room as is this man, let alone married to him."

"The comapny--"

"Fuck... the... company," Mom speaks for the first time.

"That company is our life's work!"

"This!" Mom pulls me in to her bosom. "THIS IS MY LIFE'S WORK! SHE IS OUR LIFE'S WORK!"

And she looks into my eyes. "And I would sell a hundred companies for you, my love."

Tears run down her face as she hugs me.

Both Tanaka and Dad are visibly boiling with fury. "Enough of this!"

Tanaka reaches for me but police officers rush inside, looking for him.

"Tanaka Hideo, we are placing you under arrest until further notice of your hearing."

"What?! Do you know who I am?!!"

He is led away by officers and Dad storms off to his room, shutting the door with a slam.

And suddenly I'm back in Shoto's arms, hugging him tight, and my friends are circling us for a group hug.

~Shoto~

Since Mrs. Yaoyorozu doesn't believe that Momo should be involved in straightening out Tanaka's hearing, a small number of us are meeting at my house to go to the park.

I'm not use to anticipating this many people in the house.

Only Momo is here now.

"I am so sorry for what happened, I should've done something sooner, but I needed evidence, I needed--"

"Shoto, stop it. You did what was right and you saved me from entering a marriage that would have made me sad. That's what matters. I love you."

"You do?"

"Of course".

"Really?"

"How much do you want to know?" Momo's mischievous grin is back and I love it.

She rises out of the chair and places her hands on my knees to support herself before leaning forward and kissing me.

I close my eyes wit no hesitation and my hands go to her hair while she massages my thighs.

I stand up and kiss her more, placing my hands on her thighs as she wraps her legs around me. Despite how petite she may look, she's pretty heavy. 

I push her into the refrigerator door and lock my lips with hers. She let's tears fall.

"Why are you crying, Momo?"

"I missed you so much. Your touch."

"I'm here now. I can touch you now. Alright? Everything will be fine."

As if she doesn't believe me and she needs proof, she grabs my head and runs my face into hers. She undoes the two top buttons of my shirt, and places her hands on my chest as she continues to kiss me, going from my lips to my chin, to my neck.

I nibble on her ear and play with her hair.

"I love you, Momo."

"I love you too, Shoto."

And then we just hug tightly for who knows how long.

Natsuo walks by and pretends to gag, breaking us apart and we look at him.

"The Broccoli kid is here and... Shoto, come on man, the shirt. You two gross me out."

I rebutton the buttons and walk out to the porch to greet Midoriya, who came with Urakaka (no surprise there).

~Momo~

"Todoroki-kun, Yaoyorozu-chan."

"Hello, Midoriya-san," I hug him.

"Momo, I'm so glad you're okay! And I'm happy that guy got sued by you, Todoroki, that was brave!" Uraraka squeals.

"I would do that for you," Midoriya whimpers. 

"No doubt about it, hon," Uraraka laughs, "but I'd never have to marry a guy to save a family business... you know my parents don't have enough to start a large business like that."

Shoto laughs at her joke, but I can't get over the fact that Uraraka called him "hon".

"Aaaaaa! Finally!" I lean forward to hug Uraraka.

"Wondering when you would catch on. After what you went through, I realized you never know what might happen, and I didn't want to regret something forever," Uraraka explains.

Midoriya blushes slightly.

Soon after Kirishima and Ashido show up, followed by Jiro and then Bakugo.

Kaminari is late and when Jiro sees him she rolls her eyes. "Who invited this loser?"

"You're the one losing by not wanting to embrace my presence," Kaminari grins. 

"Baka."

I grin knowingly. 

"Momo!" Jiro gathers me in her arms. "Hope you're doing well."

"Better, thanks." It's only a small lie, I'm still healing from what happened, but there is steady improvement. 

"Ponytail!"

I grimace as I turn.

To my surprise, he walks up to me and puts his hand on my shoulder. "Sorry that happened to you. That asshole deserves a life sentence."

"Thanks, Bakugo-san," I smile.

"Don't be mushy." He mumbles to himself as he walks off.

I have such wonderful friends.

Kaminari opens the first pizza box and pulls a pineapple slice from it.

"Pineapples? You retarded creep," Jiro criticizes.

"Whatever. I've seen you eat pineapple pizza before, you faker."

"Must have been starving."

That receives a number of "oooh that was nice"s from Ashido.

"There's olive, too. I did think about you too, Emobuds."

Jiro rolls her eyes but I see her hide her smile by taking a bite of pizza. 

We begin talking about school and the like (Bakugo mostly eats) and laugh with each other (Bakugo mostly scowls). 

This is what I feared most about not being able to go to UA. Being with my friends and enjoying life.

"I am officially inviting you guys to come to my log cabin trip for the holidays!" Ashido declares.

"I'm so in," Jiro says.

"Yeah well me too, Emobuds."

"Seriously why does Pikachu keep getting invited..." Jiro sighs.

"Us too!" Uraraka holds on to Deku's arm as she speaks.

"Have to check my schedule before I hang out with you nerds", Bakugo gives us a deadpan look. 

We all know he's going to say yes, who wouldn't go for a toasty log cabin in the dead of winter where everything is IcyCold and not IcyHot?

Bakugo walls off with AirPods in his ears. Midoriya and Uraraka kiss and go their separate ways, Ashido and Kirishima go off together and so do Kaminari and Jiro, bickering all the way.

~Shoto~

"You're adorable, Shoto."

"Why?"

"You just look so peaceful. It's a nice look."

I smile at her and reach out with my hands, pulling her into my lap. We watch the clouds together until she turns and pins me to the floor.

We all know what happens after that.

--

The next morning, I wake up to Fuyumi knocking on the door and saying "You must go to Momo's! Have you seen the news..."

"No, what's happened?"

"Her father has been assassinated."
