(7:00 AM)
It wasn't daybreak yet, but Momo Yaoyorozu knew that it was only a matter of time. She lay with her companion on the surface of a tiled roof, and was perfectly content. The air, while not quite warm, kissed her skin with the gentle promise of beautiful weather. A faint breeze teased her black hair, tossing the silky strands into her face. Momo decided that she loved the lazy moments before dawn. The world moved slowly and unhurriedly, only spurred into gear when the sun woke it up.
"You know, you're still wearing that police hat," a deep voice beside her spoke. Momo turned her head towards Shoto Todoroki, who was lying down next to her. The features of his face were impossible to see in the weak light, but Momo could picture the intense gleam in his heterochromatic eyes and the slight smile that graced his lovely lips. He took Momo's hand in his own, a gesture that would have left her stuttering for days only hours before, but now felt like the most natural thing in the world.
"Yes, and I'm also wearing your shirt and my mom's diamond necklace. She's going to kill me, you know," she told him conversationally.
"You'll look great when she does," he assured her, his normally monotone voice containing a hint of humor.
"You're not looking too bad yourself," Momo retorted playfully. "That Metallica shirt looks awesome. Really suits your image."
"I still can't believe I had to borrow Jiro's dad's shirt. I'll never live this down, will I?"
"I don't think you will, no," Momo grinned. "At least you have the principal's pen."
"Oh yeah, great consolation. I always wanted a black ink pen. Remind me why I took this again?"
"Sticking it to the man?"
"Sure, why not."
The two rested in amiable silence, enjoying the slowly warming air and each other's company. "The others are probably waiting for us, you know?" Momo told Shoto idly.
"They can wait a little longer. The sun's about to come up, I'd like to see it," was Shoto's response.
"You never struck me as the romantic type," Momo said, a single elegantly shaped eyebrow raised.
"Well I should be shouldn't I? Seeing as I'm now in a relationship," Shoto replied, like it common knowledge. Momo turned to face him, a light blush dusting her cheeks.
"So we're definitely dating then?" she asked him, the slightest note of uncertainty in her voice.
"You tell me," Shoto answered. Momo paused, and a sweet smile spread across her face.
"You know, I think we are."
"Yeah?"
"Mhmm."
The two locked eyes, their hearts beating in sync. They leaned into each other, like magnets being drawn together. As their lips almost touched, the window beneath the roof leading to Jiro's room opened with a loud thud. The two hastily separated as Kyoka Jiro poked her head out of the window.
"You guys still making out? 'Cause if you're done, Denki, Kirishima and Mina are singing Greased Lightning and Denki knows the lyrics scarily well. You guys can suck each others' faces later, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity." And just as quickly as it had appeared, her head popped back into her room.
"Guess that's our cue," Shoto said wryly, he got up and stretched, his shirt lifting a little to give Momo a glimpse of his toned stomach. Finally, the sun reared its head, making pale gold flood Momo's vision. Shoto turned to her, his white hair angelic and his red hair blazing in the new light. He offered her his hand, a small smile on his face.
As Momo reached for her new boyfriend's hand, she couldn't help but wonder how she had gotten to this point in her life. When had it all started? It seemed like a lifetime ago, but in reality, it had started a mere ten hours from then, when Momo decided to go to the post-exam party…
A.N: Hey, welcome to Ten Hours, a Todomomo fic. There is an appalling lack of this ship in the fanfiction community, and it made me very sad. I ship this so much, such a cute couple! So I decided to write one. Other couple will include UraraDeku, KiriBaku, JiroDenki and I think that's it. Please make sure to review and give me constructive criticism, I'm a novice writer and input is greatly appreciated. I'll try to update often. This story is also on , if you'd like to keep up with it there.
Love,
night
