Chapter One: Despair and Hope

It was a rough few years for young Midoriya. Studies at U.A. became a chore rather than part of his dream. Everything became dark, even the world around him. The news stations, the people in the cities, the forums online, and even his fellow students all seem to turn to a darkening outlook on the future. Even his closest friends started to see the down turn or he should say former friends. He was a broken young man now with no goal and no ambition to find it now.

It was a dark grey sky, the clouds where moving past in a slow manner. They looked as if they wanted to cry but were still holding it all in like the man standing in the middle of a cemetery. He was standing there in a dark grey hoodie covering a lot of his face just staring at the gravestone in front of him. The stone was moist from the previous set of rain and the grass around it had gotten a bit taller. His eyes were red and didn't have the strength to release anymore tears.

"Mother … what do I do when everything comes crashing down?" He clenched his hands in his pockets until his knuckles. "I don't know what do anymore mom. My dream feels like it is pointless. All Might is gone too … and …" His voice was breaking and his mind was replaying the incidents of that horrible encounter.

{Flashback}

Izuku was feeling down, it was only a month ago that his mom had passed away and in addition All Might passed from the injuries had sustained from the fight with all for one 7 years ago. Midoriya knew this was inevitable, but being so young to experience someone close to them dying was still a hard thing to process. He was walking back to the dorms after a training session. As of late it was the only thing keeping him grounded was the training and as well Uraraka. Their relationship grew over time and eventually in their second year at U.A. finally grew into a relationship, one that he wanted to happen for a while.

Having Uraraka becoming his girlfriend was the only good thing to happen this year. Just thinking about her brought a smile to his face as he walked back to the dorms. It was only 6pm and maybe they could go to a café that opened up in the downtown area. Yes, a quick shower and she should be done with her project. He quickly texted her his plans.

"Hey love, do you want to go the new café in town? I just got done working out. Give a bit to shower and get dressed." With a smile on his face he put his phone back in his pocket. Ten minutes to get back to the dorms and maybe another ten to shower should be plenty of time. Maybe he can just wait for her in the common room. After all Mr. Aizawa said that they weren't supposed to go to the other side of the dorms, especially after the incident with Mineta.

He was lost in his thoughts and was already at the dorm for class 1-A. He checked his phone, and still no answer from her. Maybe she was still working on the group project they were assigned. He didn't think anything of it at the time. A walked straight in stretching his arms in the air, he looked to the side to see Yaoyorozu and Jiro sitting on the couches. It looked like they were in the middle of a chat.

"Oh hey, Midoriya. H-How are you today?" She greeted him but had a flustered looked. Almost like she was nervous about something. Maybe she was afraid he had overheard something he wasn't supposed to hear? He waved back to her.

"Great! How are you Yaoyorozu, Jiro?" He greeted them back.

"That's good, we're just finishing up our project. Did you just come back from the training grounds?" She blinked for a second at her response and a very faint hint of pink hue graced her cheeks. Now he was certain something was up but maybe it was she just cared. She was the vice class rep and always showed a genuine care for her classmates. It was obvious to him that she just wanted to make sure he was okay, he did just recently lose his mother. Maybe he was a bit more down than he originally thought.

"Yeah, I was actually about to head out in the bit, maybe go to the new café with Ochaco." He nervously scratched the back of his head. "See ya later!" He waved back to them as he headed to his dorm room to get ready. She still didn't respond back to him but he was still focusing on spending some time with her.

He quickly got ready and probably took the fastest he had ever taken for a shower. He got dressed in his normal casual clothes. They have already been dating for a while now so a toned-down look was more comfortable. He walked to the common room and checked his phone again and still no response. He decided it was time to go to her room. It was still light outside so Midoriya thought it would be okay and the teachers didn't do their rounds for much later.

Walking towards her room he heard faint sounds coming from down the hall. His nerves started to become on edge. His heart was started to keep its pace up, beating faster than it should. As he walked closer, he could hear her voice mixed with another voice. It was deeper than Uraraka's and also sounded familiar. He hoped with everything he had that maybe he was mistaken or than she was still working on her group project. All of his thoughts and theories went out the window when he clearly heard her voice echo in the room. Her moan of pleasure was like a blood curdling howl to him. But the next voice to him over the edge as he reached for the door.

"Oh god!" Tenya's voice rushed out in a muffled sound. At that moment Izuku was filling with rage and anger like he had never felt before. The voices confirmed the betrayal of her and of his best friend. Without thinking he kicked the door open and on instinct activated full cowling. He might have hit the door a little too hard as the sound had echoed through the dorm.

"Oh no! Deku … It's not …" Her voice was interrupted by Izuku.

"How could you!" He was about to punch Iida but stopped inches away from his friend's face. The air rushed around the room for a bit and the light that Izuku always had in his eyes finally dulled. He rushed down the hall and headed to the common room to make a quick escape from the building. He couldn't be in the same area as her anymore. His classmates were rushing to the common area as well to see him run out the door.

His only thought was he that he must be worthless as everyone important to him keeps leaving his life.

{Present}

Izuku stumbled back into the dorm and of course it was close to end of the year and everyone was setting up for the holidays both traditional Japanese and American. Everyone in a cheery mood and that alone cut right to his depths of his heart. He had no family and now no girlfriend, even his mentor has departed this world. He turned to see Yaoyorozu walking towards him. His mind was so deep in its despair that he immediately tried to walk in the opposite direction only to stop at the sound of her voice. It was soft and almost pleading to him.

"M-Midoriya are you okay?" Her hands were at her waist interlaced together. She had a worried look on her face.

"Oh … hey Yaoyorozu. I'm fine." He answered and just walked off towards his dorm room. His voice was heavy with a solemn despair that anyone could feeling if they knew the old Izuku.

"Do you want to join us? I promise that they won't be there. All of us are upset at what they did to you." She took a step closer with her hand out to him. But Izuku didn't look back and just continued his way to his room.

"Yaomomo, you ready?" Jiro came up beside her. She didn't even notice Izuku's somber mood as he walked down the boy's side to his room.

"Yeah let's get started. Oh Shoot! My cake, I don't want it to burn." She darted off to the kitchen. Everybody was making something for their impromptu gathering. It was a rough year and Momo thought this would be a good way to help end the year.

Midoriya finally reached his room and sat down on his desk in the dark. He just stared at the desk and pushed aside the pile of papers on it. His grades have been slipping a bit, nothing too noticeable yet but was starting their downward spiral. His thoughts were looking back toward the happier days of his life. But the memory of how Deku came to be his nickname was coming to the front of his mind. And when he tried to focus on something else the memory came back with a vengeance.

After about half an hour in the dark he finally snapped and pulled out a piece of paper to write a note. He was writing and sobbing at the same time, muttering as he tried to wipe away the tears. The paper was getting crinkled with the tear spots as he writes out his note. It didn't take long once he was finished. He just stared at the note he had made. The cheerful sounds coming from the common room. The voices of jubilee cut to Izuku's heart deeper than any villain could ever have.

"Why am so worthless? Why was I born into this world just see how worthless I am?" He mumbled to himself as his arms slung down his sides. He wanted to end everything, end it tonight but he was too tired from everything. Getting up and flopping down on his bed. His eyes were getting heavy as laid down on his bed. The only motion he did was to remove his hoodie and lay back down finally drifting off to sleep.

Momo was making a plate for herself. Her mind has been on Midoriya lately. She was there when he stormed out of the dorm. The day was horrible for everyone. Jiro always joked about her staring at Midoriya since they first started at U.A. She would always steal a glance his way and would stumble a bit on her words around him. Only Jiro picked up on her growing crush on the boy. She didn't want to admit at first and just thought it was part of being the class vice rep, but when she found out that Uraraka and Midoriya it cut her heart to ribbons and she couldn't figure out why. And now it was being ripped again as now with her former friend act of treachery towards Midoriya. Her mind couldn't escape that day.

"Hey, Yaomomo. Is something on your mind?" Jiro was luckily there to bring her out of her own thoughts. She tried to keep the tears at bay.

"Jiro, no I'm fine. Just had something on my mind." She looked back to all the food laid out on the counter. 'I really should get a plate for Midoriya.' She looked back to her friend and before she could speak again, she saw Uraraka walk into the dorms. Momo's face instantly went stern without her knowing and if it wasn't for her best friend there, she would have never known that her look right now could kill. Her eyes never left the young girl as she walked over to the couches to greet everyone.

"Hey, is it okay for her to be here?" Jiro looked over to Uraraka as she deadpanned.

"No, I mean I'm not happy about it. But we did this for the whole class. Also, it's the common area so we really can't push her away." Momo was still looking over at Uraraka until she felt a hand on her shoulder.

"You should bring him a plate. He shouldn't be by himself right now. And I know you well, you already were thinking of bringing him something." Jiro smiled at Momo and that she always gave Momo the kick to go down the path she was thinking.

"You're right. But he looked like …" She was interrupted by the look on Jiro face with that confident smirk. "Alright I'll go once I get him a plate." Momo smiled back to her friend. She was also hoping that Uraraka wasn't paying too much attention to her. It only has been a few weeks since that day and she didn't want to cause any more drama if possible.

She was finally filled up a plate, mostly with food she knew Midoriya would like. Everyone in class knew he was a bit of a health and fitness junky. Always focused on improving his body. As she was walking down to his room and was getting nervous and flustered. Should she be doing this? It really isn't her place, but she cares for the young man. She knew she should have acted before and maybe he wouldn't have had to go through this. She shook her head trying to empty those negative thoughts out. Neither of them needed those around right now.

It was too long before she was at his door. She stood there for moment with two plates of food with the steam rising from them. Carefully she maneuvered the plates into one arm and went to knock at the door. But to her surprise it was open slightly with all the light out. 'Maybe I shouldn't bother him?' She closed her eyes and overpowered the doubt and slowly pushed the door in and slowly turned to close the door without making any noise. She didn't want to let the light bother him, and if the lights were off, he must have been tired from today. Ever since that day he had been working out relentlessly.

It was dark in his room but the light from the window with the darkening grey sky was just enough to allow her some sight to see where she was going. She went straight to the desk and placed down the plates. She noticed the paper and was going to push it aside until she caught a glimpse of what was written on it. At first, she didn't want to pry but she did worry about Midoriya. She picked up the note and read the paragraph, suddenly she felt every emotion she could possibly feel and pressed her free hand up to her mouth to stifle the sobs that were threatening to come out.

Uraraka,

Thank you for showing me that I live up to the name "Deku". I'm worthless to you, to everyone at class, and to the world. I must have never been enough for you, but this pain won't go away. I don't have anyone anymore and you took whatever I had left for this world and tossed it into the trash. I don't think you ever felt that way to me as I felt toward you. I guess even my feelings are worthless …

Momo couldn't finish the note. He was going to kill himself. The boy that always had a smile on his face gave up on the world because now no one was smiling for him. Tears fell from her eyes, she just couldn't hold it back anymore. She clenched the note in her hand and walked out the room leaving the door open. She rushed down the hall, the sadness she felt for Midoriya was over powered by the anger she felt for Uraraka.

"Uraraka!" She bellowed down the hall as she made her way to the common room. To say she was upset was an understatement and when she finally reached the common area the whole class froze. Even Jiro was at a loss having never seen her friend this upset in the entire time she has known Momo.

Momo scanned the room until she found Uraraka still standing in the room. Her eyes were narrowed with determination as she walked over to the girl who was too off put to move. She didn't say word, her action displayed everything her heart and soul was feeling at the moment. It was quick. The slap was loud, quick, and very forceful. Momo had landed a slap on Uraraka's cheek leaving a clear red mark.

"Yaoyorozu … I …" Before she could make an intelligent response, another smack just as powerful hit her again. Momo put her hand back down and brought up the one with the note and shove it into Uraraka's chest.

"Hey, hey! Calm down Yaoyorozu, we're all friends, right?" Kaminari tried to keep the peace but the acts were already done and this ball has been set into motion weeks ago.

"You ..." Tears started to come to her eyes again. She didn't know how someone could have done this someone, especially Midoriya. "Here, read this note." She pushed hard into the girl's chest. "You broke him. You broke him, Uraraka." She stepped back a bit and she heard someone come up behind her.

"YOU KNOW WHAT AIR HEAD! I WASN'T GOING TO DO ANYTHING BUT YOU SERIOUSLY PISSED ME OFF NOW!" With that Bakugo walked down the hall in a rage. And it was more ferocious than his normal rants and tirades. Everyone knew where he was going to Midoriya's room but no one other than Kirashima was brave enough to go after Bakugo.

Momo's knees wanted to give out but she didn't want to end it here. "He was planning on killing himself! Do you not understand that!" She yelled loud enough that the whole dorm could here causing the two boys in the hallway to stop abruptly. "You made the one who is always smiling to no longer smile …" She tipped backwards and luckily Jiro was there to help brace her from falling.

Now the whole class was glaring or had looks of shock sent Uraraka's way. No one was really paying that much attention to Izuku but now it was all out in the open. Momo didn't feel like eating anymore. She finally months ago admitted to her steadily growing feeling for Midoriya and then Uraraka was the one to silently crush them. Then she only wanted to see him smile and be happy, and fulfill his dreams. This was too much for her and she needed to leave. She didn't want to cause Uraraka any more pain either, because right now all she wanted to do was slap the girl again and again.

She took a few deep breathes to help calm herself now that her message was delivered to Uraraka. She jetted off to Izuku's dorm room hoping to get there before Bakugo. Uraraka went to follow her but was quickly stopped by Jiro and Mina both nodding their heads in the negative to follow Momo. As She got to the door as it was still open but she now saw an awake Midoriya sitting on the edge of his bed rubbing his eyes. She couldn't hold it in anymore, all the sadness was coming back up and she could see the emptiness in his eyes as his gaze was focused on the ground. Without thinking she leaped forward pushing Midoriya back onto the bed. Her arms wrapped around his neck and chest and she squeezed tightly.

"You're not worthless …" She mumbled into his ear. Her tears were flowing nonstop now. She could hear someone else walking up to the room. She didn't care at the moment who it was, she just needed to make sure Izuku was okay and maybe help him see some of the light the world has to offer.

"Yaoyorozu?" He stumbled on his words and he could feel her shivering. She was clearly upset and then it dawned on him that she must have seen the not. "So, I guess you read my note…"

"I'm sorry Midoriya. I just wanted to make sure you have something to eat but, I shouldn't have been so intrusive on you. I just can't help it. I can't take it anymore." Her voice was breaking a bit. "You walk around like a ghost ever since that day. I know a lot has happened to you but that day you lost your smile …" Midoriya looked back to see Jiro, Bakugo, and Kirashima at the door and Jiro just put a finger to her mouth to everyone and closed the door. Midoriya only nodded and looked over to his desk to see a couple of plates.

"I'm sorry Yao …" He was interrupted again by Momo.

"I knew I liked you for a long time, ever since the first day of class a couple of years ago. I should have told you sooner but then you went on a date with Uraraka and thought I could be happy if she can make you happy. I was so upset that day …"

{Flashback}

Momo was lying on her bed in her dorm room. She had just saw Uraraka and Midoriya walking into the dorm holding hands. She was curled up on her bed. She didn't know why it hurt her so bad to see them coming in to the common area. She cursed herself for not acting on it when she last talked with Jiro. She heard a knock at the door but she didn't want to go open the door. But of course, it was her good friend Jiro coming in.

"Yaomomo …" She saw her friend on the bed as Momo uncurled herself to sit on the edge. "It's okay, if it wasn't meant to be it wasn't meant to be." Jiro hugged her friend. She was going to say something snarky about missing the boat but kept it to herself.

Momo's sobbing stopped and the tears slowly stopped as well. She pulled back a little bit to look at her friend. "Kyoka, why did I wait? Why I do I feel so jealous now?" She wiped her eyes and placed her hands on her lap looking down. "Why do I feel like eating a pint of ice cream now?"

"I guess this just a part of growing up Yaomomo. I can't say that I have felt the same but, I can feel it from you. You're my best friend, I'm here for you and you know we can just go to the store down the street and get your favorite ice cream?" Jiro knew this would pass and it wasn't the end of the world.

"Okay, I guess. Nothing like a pint of mint chocolate chip ice cream to make this day better." Momo looked over to see her friend was in a bit of shock and awe at her words. "What?"

"I thought you liked strawberry ice cream, why the change?" Jiro suddenly asked trying to find the answer to the new question.

"I changed over one day." Momo looked away bashfully. "It just reminded me of him. You know the green color and the chips are like freckles." She was twirling her finger on her bed sheets trying not to make eye contact. "I'm hopeless, aren't I?" Both girls laughed it off and gave one final hug before they set out to the store.

{Present}

Midoriya was coming out of his funk to now realize that Momo was pressed right on his chest and that he was shirtless. He gently rose from the bed making sure Momo was eased upwards into a sitting position. His face as a little red after the closeness. Now that his brain was working a bit better, "Wait did you say you liked me?"

Momo flinched a bit but she already blurted out the words and came to terms with her own feelings toward Izuku. "Like isn't a good enough word. I liked from the start but it turned to love over the years. I'm just was never good at telling you. And if I had maybe … I'm sorry Midoriya."

"Yaoyorozu you don't have to apologize. I'm sorry for writing that note. I would say I'm better but I'm still in a dark place I guess." She hugged Midoriya again. This time not as tight but she was as close as she could be at the moment.

Once Momo had realized it she pulled back a little to give him some breathing space. "Oh … I brought you a plate. I didn't want you to be alone tonight …" She was interrupted by the touch of lips on her lips. Izuku was pushing into her and her face turned red immediately. Was this what she wanted for a long time? But this wasn't the time. Midoriya was in a vulnerable state of mind and was probably just all the emotions he bottled up. But she couldn't stop it and before she knew it, she had her back on the bed and he was on top of her still kissing her. Her hands slowly moved to his back and she could feel the muscles moving with his actions. Each one was well defined with all the hero training and workouts he did.

It was a few minutes before he pulled away to grab a breath and she was able to take in one and collect herself. She looked at his face as he had his eyes closed. He looked like he was relishing the feeling he was having at the moment only to than rest his head on her chest. If she wasn't blushing before she was at full throttle now. His arms were close to her sides pinning her underneath him. If this was anyone else, she would have jumped but since it was Midoriya she just froze.

She looked down to see he was tearing up and keeping his face in her shirt. She moved one hand to run it through the dark green locks. That's when his eyes opened up quickly and moved up slightly to be able to look down at her. She looked right into his emerald eyes and she couldn't believe all the hurt that he had to go through. She moved her hands to cup his face.

"Yaoyorozu … I'm sorry I shouldn't have forced myself on you. I just couldn't help it … now I'm a pervert like …" Momo cut him off with another kiss but this one was softer and gentler cutting him off from his own thoughts.

"Midoriya, don't apologize you did nothing wrong. I liked it, I just wasn't expecting you of all people to be so … forward." She let out a breath and looked back into his eyes. She wanted to help heal him and bring his smile back. "Maybe you should eat something, I know it's been rough but not eating will only make your body get worse especially since you put so much work into …"

"Oh … right." He looked over to the desk to see the food. It was still warm by the steam that was coming off it. "Thank you for the diner Yaoyorozu. I might not look like it but I am really glad to have you here." He sat up fully and got up from the bed to turn on a small light on the nightstand by the bed.

"Oh, let me go get some utensils and also I know you're a health nut but I did bake a cake for everyone." She pushed back some stray strands of hair trying to keep her voice calm now that the notion of her revealing her feeling about him. "Would you like a piece?"

"Yeah … That will be fine. I think I could use something sweet today." He smiled back to her. It was a forceful one but it was still a smile and Momo just smiled back warmly.

"Okay, I'll be right back." She walked out the door and left it slightly adjure as she left. Her heart was racing and she could feel her face was warming up. Once she closed the door Jiro was there to greet her.

"Soooo … is everything okay with Midoriya?" She raised an eyebrow while looking at Momo. "You were in there for a minute and it was quiet."

"I don't know Kyoka, right now he is going to eat and I just going to get a piece of cake for him." She closed her eyes and put her hands on her hips trying remain cool. But she couldn't fool Jiro.

"Wait! Something did happen in there. I just came to make sure Bakugo didn't blow up the dorm. So, you going to tell me?" She had a grin on her face while placing her hand under her chin.

"W-What … no … nothing happened." Her face got a darker shade of pink on her cheeks. "Alright, can we talk about it tomorrow … please?" She clapped her hands together in a prayer position. And all Jiro could do was relent to her friend.

"Okay, tomorrow and it is Sunday so you have no excuse Yaomomo." Jiro just turned and went back to the common room a few paces ahead of Momo. Once they got there, she could see Jiro gesturing to the group to keep it silent as she went to get a slice of the cake. Luckily no one including any of the girls even approached her. She moved as quickly as she could still feeling a little awkward. The only good thing was that Uraraka wasn't there, she didn't know if she could handle any more of her right now. She turned and rushed back to Izuku's room down the hall.

Mineta was turning the corner to see Yaoyorozu walking down the boy's hall. He raised an eyebrow. "What is she doing here?" He said to himself as she watched her walk down the hall. The hit him she was going to one of the rooms. Mineta wasn't there for the now infamous slap he only heard the commotion in the common room. His pervy stalking instincts kicked in and he hid behind a plant by the window.

His eyes widened at the sight of her just entering Midoriya's room and she didn't even knock she just walked right in. "Midoriya! Your traitor! How could you take Yaoyorozu's Boo -" He was cut off by Jiro's earjack hitting his head.

"Quit it pervert!" She yelled "Leave them alone."

Mineta didn't even look back but darted off to the elevator to head to his room. He thought since Todoroki was not interested in her and that she never made any moves towards any of the other guys in class she was still 'available' but now here she was going into Midoriya's room without any hesitation. How long has this been going on?

Jiro just march back to the entrance to the common area to ensure Mineta didn't try anything else, but also to get some food herself. With everything that happened she hadn't gotten a plate for herself but Kaminari was nice enough to grab one for her. She was still a bit curious about what was going on in Midoriya's room, however, she knew Momo would not leave her out of the loop.

Izuku saw the door open to reveal Momo coming in with a hand full of utensils and small plate with a slice of cake on it. Luckily for her he put a fresh shirt and some shorts. She placed the plate down on the desk and pick up hers and sat on his bed. Suddenly he felt really, really nervous for some reason. "Oh Yaoyo-" He was quickly cut off by her voice.

"You can call me Momo." She smiled as she took a bite from her plate. "Oh wow, Hagakure did an amazing job on this curry!" She absently minded spoke out.

"Oh okay." He was trying to control his nervous stutter. "You can have my chair, I'll sit on my bed Momo." He quickly got up and let her have the seat. But she waved his gesture off.

"That's very nice of you but I'm fine. Besides, you could use it or you can sit next to me if you like." She patted the space next to her. He nodded and sat next to her but brought the chair over so they both could place their plates down and eat more comfortably.

"Thank you again, Y- … Momo." He took a few bits. The warm meal filling his stomach making him realize how hungry he was. He was trying to hold back some more tears, he didn't want to cry in front of her. It took a lot of will power to make sure that didn't happen. After swallowing he had the courage to ask her another question. "So, did you take the note I had on my desk?" He stared at his plate trying to avoid eye contact.

"I … please don't be upset but After I read some of it, I guess my emotions got the better of me and I stormed back out of your room and went to the common area. I kind of shoved it in her chest …" Momo winced at her words.

"Who … Uraraka?" Izuku took a huge gulp sensing where this conversation was going.

"Yeah … and kind of slapped her … twice." She looked at the door feeling embarrassed all of a sudden. But before she could make it any more awkward for herself, she her snickering that then turned into laughter.

Midoriya couldn't hold that one in. For a while now, all he wanted to do was yell at Uraraka, punch Iida in the face as hard as he could, and many other things. But here, Momo did in an instant what he wish he had done weeks ago. He couldn't hold in the laughter anymore the irony was too much for him.

"Wow …" He was still snickering while he was trying to speak, "You of all people. The prim and proper Yaoyorozu smacking another person." He covered his mouth trying to keep the words and laughter at bay only to start coughing mildly.

"Don't make fun of me! And well maybe it was for the best then, because with your power you might have put them out of commission for life." She took another bit but she was clearly pouting while looking at Midoriya. "You know you could just reply back with your own confession." She mumbled out after swallowing.

"Okay I'm sorry. You just caught me off guard with that one." He let out a breath. "Momo, I don't know what have for you right now …" His words were like ice running through her veins and he felt horrible for saying them. But he didn't want to misrepresent anything to her. "You got in on recommendations, lead the class in every academic test, and quirk is amazing and powerful. To be honest I sort of liked you from the start too." He took another bite and Momo looked at him with an astonished look. The rebuffed feeling disappearing from her body now.

Izuku swallowed again. "You're just too beautiful for a plain looking guy like me. I was always bullied in middle school so when I got to U.A. I just figured no one would really pay any attention to me especially the girls in the class." He put his hand behind is head and started fidgeting, "I guess I liked you but knew you were out of my league so I never really gave it any thought after that."

"I'll take that as a compliment since you basically downplayed Uraraka." She took another bite and looked over to him. "I'm not going to lie. A lot of people put me on a pedestal but you are great and awesome in many ways. You always placing high on academic tests and every day it seems you get better on your quirk control. Plus, you are fast at analyzing your opponents and situations to come up with a strategy to win. I'm always told that I'm good at it but you far exceed me in that regard." She sighed and took another bit. "But, thank you." Blush came to her face a little bit.

"You're welcome. I'm sorry those words came out wrong." He relaxed a bit and leaned back to look at Momo. She really was beautiful and he couldn't understand why she didn't see it. He even remembers when Kaminari and Mineta had that ranking list of which is the hottest girl in class. "So … guess what I mean is you can call me Izuku … if you want to."

Momo pushed back a little bit on the bed putting her utensils down on the plate. She looked back to Izuku and swallowed to clear her throat. She scooted closer to where their bodies were practically touching. "M-Izuku … I know a lot has happened. Are you sure that's how you feel?"

He looked at her with wide eyes. He couldn't believe how dense she was at times but that was just a part of who she is. But did he really have anything for her other than a simple crush from a few years ago. His heart was still in turmoil but for some reason she was nice calming factor to him. When he thought about it, it's been a long while since he felt like this. It was almost like he was back a couple of years ago before everything went downhill. "Momo, I don't want to say anything to make you sad down the road, but trust me when I say you really do make me feel better. I just don't want to say it now, maybe when my heart and mind aren't as clouded."

He pushed the chair back a little and turned to fully face Momo, resting his hands on her shoulders. "I just don't want you to think I like you for the same reasons as Mineta. But …" He exhaled a bit to get some of the nervousness out of his system. "You ARE beautiful, shoot you're gorgeous. You are extremely smart to top it off. And if I'm being honest, you're many guys' dream girl." He quickly stopped his speech and just pulled her into his chest wrapping his arms around her body. At first, he his heart started racing since her chest was pressed up against him. He calmed himself a bit.

"But Momo you have to cut me some slack. A gorgeous and intelligent girl just said she liked me over all the guys in class who are so much better …" This time it was Momo's turn to shut him up and break him from his ramblings. He relaxed as soon as her lips where on his. He couldn't believe how soft they were and he couldn't get over the taste of her mixed in with the food she was eating. He pulled away to look into her onyx eyes. There he could see a torrent of lust in them, far greater than what he thought he saw in Uraraka's. He closed his eyes and told himself that this isn't the time to have her on his mind. Momo didn't deserve that, she really deserved someone who be her equal and partner.

Suddenly while his eyes were closed, he felt her mouth move to his neck, kissing and sucking with a strong force as she pushed him back down the bed. She stayed on his neck for a while before lifting back up with her shirt a little disheveled. "Do … do you want to try the cake?" It was clear by her voice she was nervous and flustered at the same time.

"Maybe later …" He leaned in to her neck to place a few kisses there. He was still a bit nervous like everything was dream and he was about to wake up any moment. "You are the sweets I want right now." His voice got a little lower. She smiled as she leaned back down to kiss him and her hand were pressed on the sheets as they continued exchanging breathes.

"Okay, would you mind if … I take off your shirt?" She was biting her bottom lip as she pressed a hand on his chest. He didn't give a verbal answer but just simply took it off and tossed it to the side of the bed. At that moment all he could do was watch Momo take in every inch of his chest and torso. She looked like a predator who was just about to make the final blow. Running her hands down his chest towards his abs. Her fingers were running over each muscle taken in the definition of each as if she was mapping him out. He was getting goosebumps all over his body and could feel a strain in his pants.

She rested her head on his chest listening to his heart beat. The fast pace rhythm was steady and showed how flustered he was. She started kissing her way down to his belly button only to stop there and sit up more. "Let me take these off to make it fairer…" She tightens her pony tail and then pulled off her shirt tossing it onto his own along with taken off her bra. His face got a new shade of pink. He went from rejection to whatever this was. And the dim light allowed for him to see every inch of her chest. He couldn't help to think that he was seeing what Mineta was trying to peep the whole time. This surely had to be a dream.

She could see he was a bit nervous and grabbed one of his hands and placed on her breast. She let out soft moan once his hand was on it. She moved forward and pressed her hips on his putting pressure on his bulge. The pressure was tight but made him exhale a bit, for some reason it felt so good and he could feel her warmth through it. He brought his other hand up to her breast and began to massage it slowly. Looking back at her face he could tell that what he was doing was good for her. Her cheeks were turning a bit redder with every movement. In response she started to grind her hip slowly to his own. He felt everything building and swiftly grabbed her and pulled her closer while leaning forward a bit to take on breast into his mouth.

The soft sucking and pulling caused her to gasp and let out a heavy breath. "Izuku …" She wrapped her hands around his head rubbing her hands through his hair. Her grinding picked up slightly until he pulled away a bit with a bit of down cast look. "What's wrong?" She still had all the sensation of everything pulsing through her body.

"I don't know if this is dream, I've never had an experience like this before …" Before he could finish, she leaned in to bite his collar at the base of his neck. He winced but the bite wasn't really that painful. She then left some more hickeys on his neck until finally lifting back up to look him in the eyes.

"Did you wake up?" She saw his stunned look on his face but he nodded in the negative. "Good, I feel the same but it's not a dream." She looked back down to his bulge and looked back at him. She could see his nervousness in his face. "We don't have to go any further than this. I would like to at least get some birth control first." Then it looked like an idea hit her. She started to pull down his pants and he swallowed hard. He never really went this far with Uraraka and nervously put his hands on her wrists stopping her motions.

"I … you'll be disappointed in … w-what …" He was really nervous now his stuttering was in full swing and he was looking away with his eyes closed tightly.

"Izuku … why are you embarrassed?" Then her eyes widen and she had to ask the question even if it would kind of ruin the mood a bit. "Are you a virgin?"

He froze at those words, "Y-Yes … but that's not …" Momo moved to sit up more and looked back down at him. He finally had the courage to look back at her. "I was always made fun of in middle school and now I thought that was why…"

"Okay, well I'm not a virgin but you really have nothing to worry about." She exhaled a bit to continue. But instead of asking she just reach down his shorts and since they were gym shorts it was a very stretchable fabric. She reached in fully and grabbed his shaft and her eyes widen. "No way …" She whispered.

Her words sent a nervous twitch down him and suddenly he felt very inadequate in every way possible. "I told you would be disappointed …" There was an awkward silence as she looked back to him and crawled her way back to his face to cup each cheek and plant a kiss on his lips then his nose.

"If you won't listen to me then I will give you a visual demonstration. Stand up." She spoke firmly like she was going to end this worrying he had over himself. He did as she asked and she quickly pulled his shorts and underwear down not allowing him the chance to hesitate. He looked back to her while his manhood was at full mast and now out in the open, she was making something with her quirk. It only took a few seconds to realize that it was a measuring tape.

She went about her task and quickly quelled any fears he had about him. She measured out and he clearly could see his worrying was for nothing and just in his head. Momo looked to it and had to hold back a laugh, she didn't want to push him back in his hole. Instead she grabbed the shaft and gently messaged it is slow deliberate motions while slowly pushing back down on the bed. "Izuku you know the average length?" He nodded no. "About 4 inches, do you know what I measured?" He just swallowed while taken in the feeling of her soft hand wrapped around his private. "You are double that, and you say I have some confidence issues in myself …" She smiled as she laid down on the side next to him kissing into his neck as she picked the pace up on messaging his member. It wasn't long before he had to release.

It quickly shot upwards and covers his groin along with her hand. He let out a sigh of relief and pleasure. Uraraka never did that to him, shoot she never even tried to initiate anything like that. She let go and looked around for something to wipe off one. "You can use my shirt …" She looked back to him puzzled a bit, "Don't worry it would be the first time." She just giggled and grabbed one from the floor wipe her hand off as well to his shock his groin.

"Momo … I'm sorry you didn't get any … out of it." His mind was shutting down. All he could do was pull up is shorts and underwear.

"It's okay, it seemed like you needed that Izuku." She stood up on the side of the bed, "Here, let's get under the covers." She looked over to the cake still on the desk and the plates of food on the chair.

"I have some containers in the drawer …" He whispered out just loud enough to her as he got up as well to pull the cover open to slide back under.

"Okay, let me just put this piece in one, don't want a dry dessert." She laughed a little. And placed the container back onto the desk and jumped into bed with Izuku. She laid down next to him as he was on his back with his eyes closed. Momo turned to lay her hand on his chest and felt his heart beat. It was still was beating strong just not as fast as before.

He rolled over to kiss her forehead and wrap his arms around her pulling in gently to him. He let out a content sigh. He could help to compare Momo to Uraraka, he knew he shouldn't but this was something that she had never down and Momo was opening up to him while quelling his dark thoughts he had about himself. "Momo …" He whispered, "Thank you … for everything …"

She just pulled herself closer and snuggled into his chest. She was still wanting more but she really wanted his happiness more. And right now, this was probably about as much as he could take in one day. "Izuku, you are not worthless." She whispered into him but he was already fast asleep.
