Mini Chapter 1: TodoMomo date:
[So I explained this last time but so everyone knows I will explain it again. These mini-chapters are going to be scattered in between the normal chapters. You don't have to read them but they will always have an element of Izuku or Uraraka in them. When I post them is where they are set in the story, so you won't need to backtrack and reread old chapters. This is my second favourite ship and I thought they deserved some love. Also, I hope people will come to appreciate these different ships I highlight. It also allows me to practice things I wouldn't be able to in normal chapters, for example, a fight scene or a character i haven't used before or something I am not as comfortable writing. Now please enjoy the chapter. ]
Izuku POV:
Why does my head hurt? Did I get knocked out again or wait?
With that, my eyes snap open and I launch myself upright noticing that I am in my bed. "Oh, now I remember," I say feeling my cheeks grow hotter at the thought of Uraraka and myself being parents.
"Remember what?" asks a monotoned but friendly voice, it didn't matter though I didn't even turn to look. I just activate my quirk and jump. Which a second later leads to me slamming my head onto the roof and falling straight back down onto my bed in a heap.
As my head slowly stops spinning, I look up to see my half red and half white-haired friend sitting there as if nothing had happened sipping some tea. "Well, that hurt," I say sitting upright on my bed to face him.
"Looked like it did. So, umm. It's midday and I need some help." Todoroki states his face turning at least a shade or two pinker.
"With your date, right?" I ask, making sure we are speaking about the same thing.
"Yes, Momo said to wear something nice. I don't really know what that is." Todoroki says sighing and looking distressed, his eyes could be read like an open book, fear written in every line.
"Well I don't know much about this whole dating thing, but I will help," I say trying to sound confident and at least be a little helpful.
"Alright thank you again," Todoroki says standing up, so I do the same following his lead and follow him towards his room. As I enter, I am amazed by how Japanese it is.
"It still amazes me that you finished this in a few hours," I say looking around smiling at the hard work of my fellow peer paying off. "What is this type of room called again?" I ask,
"Tatami or Washitsu room," Todoroki says as he walks over to his wardrobe, sliding aside the paper door to reveal a large collection of clothes. Grey uniforms like my own as well as blue tracksuits all neatly hung up. Then as I look over to the other side, I see a collection of other clothes, mostly long pants and t-shirts with a mixture of overshirts mixed in.
"Your wardrobe is so neat," I state nodding expecting nothing less from Todoroki.
"Thanks, Midoryia." He responds as he pushes his normal clothes aside to reveal a collection of different expensive suits.
"Wow."
"So, I think she intends to take me to some high-class restaurant, and I don't want to be underdressed. What do you think?" he asks nervously,
"I reckon that would be best. I have a feeling that tonight will be high class. So better to be safe than sorry." I say looking at the collection of three suits, a pure white one, a white and black one and finally a half red and half white suit, one which matches both the sides of Todoroki.
"I think your right. I am so nervous, and I don't understand why."
"Just breathe and let's pick your suit," I say trying to calm him down and try and draw his attention to the suits rather than stress about tonight. But deep down I know I would be in a similar state if I had a date with Uraraka.
"Which one in your opinion?" he asks,
"Well, not the black and white one. She has seen that one when you went to I-island with us all. If I had to pick, I would say the half white and half red suit. It looks good, plus it matches your hair." I say going over and grabbing out the suit from the closet.
"So, we are meeting at 5:30pm out the front of the dorms. She never said it was a date I just assumed. I don't know if I am over thinking this." Todoroki says sitting onto his bed,
"I think you need to calm down before you start rambling like me. Look, Momo is one of the nicest girls at UA. I know how you think; we have been friends for a while. You think that you don't deserve to be feeling how you are now. Your thinking that Momo is forcing herself to be nice to you, you think you're being selfish because you are actually excited for this tonight and your happy to spend some time with Momo." I say sighing looking at Todoroki who looks defeated staring at the ground, "Look Momo wouldn't have asked you to spend time with her if she didn't want to. See what happens tonight, enjoy the time alone to get to know the real Momo and see if you can make her happy because I know she is trying to make you happy." I say placing my hand on his shoulder,
"Thank you Midoryia I needed to hear that." He responds looking up to me his eyes, the book of fear in his eyes, has now caught alight with a spark of joy and a fire of burning determination. "I have two hours to get ready." He says to which I smile and nod giving him the room to get ready.
As I leave and head downstairs, I have a thought just as Kirishima passes me, "Hey Kirishima. Where do you go to buy flowers for Ashido?" I ask causing him to stop and think.
"Ah what? Hmm. There is a small stall about six blocks away I usually go to." He responds a little confused clearly.
"Thanks, Kirishima," I yell as I activate my quirk and race out of the dorms.
Shoto POV:
2 hours later:
"Alright. Suit is on, tie is straight. Hair is combed. I have showered, brushed my teeth, got my wallet and phone." I say to myself in the mirror, as I stare at myself, my scar looks a little less menacing than usual. "Let's do this," I say to myself in the mirror.
I walk out of my room and into the hallway, almost everyone will be out doing stuff tonight. Kirishima and Ashido have their usual partner gym session tonight, most of the guys are heading out for burgers tonight and Midoryia will be doing his normal study session with Iida and Uraraka. As I reach the stairs, I feel my heart skip a couple beats and with every step, I feel electricity race through my entire body as if I was holding live wires.
As I reach the bottom of the stairs, I hear something coming towards the front door that sounds like hurricane mixed with an earthquake. As I turn my head, I see the doors fly open aqua lightening crackling around my best friend Midoryia. He is panting and seems to be covered in sweat, his white shirt literally sticking to him.
"Six blocks my ass!" I hear him say which surprises me, he never curses. "Closer to like sixty. I am going to be able to skip leg day I guess." Midoryia says finally pulling himself up, and then I notice something in his hands. Roses.
"Midoryia are you ok?" I ask walking down towards him,
"OH yeah. You are the person I wanted to see. These are for you to give to Momo. I thought it may be nice for you to give them to her for your first date." He says handing me the flowers, "I need to go apologize to Iida for being late I am sure he will understand."
"Thank you again Midoryia," I say as he wanders over to the fridge, then he freezes, as I follow his gaze, I feel my heart stop working and my cheeks burn as if I was Icarus flying towards the sun.
Momo just walks down, each step she makes sends little shocks through my entire body. Her dress is black the same colour as her hair which is all out behind her back. The dress has two small straps and it goes all the way down to her ankles which have matching black high heels making her taller than me. She is the picture of perfection in my eyes, she is an angel dressed all in black.
"I will let you two have the room," Midoryia says as he walks past me patting me on the back which gives me the confidence to say something.
"You look beautiful Momo." I stutter out, unsure if it was enough or too much.
"Oh umm. Thank you. You look great too." Momo says her cheeks turning red like my own. As she walks forward to stand in front of me. "Are those for me?" she asks pointing to the roses in my hand.
"Yeah," I say trying to hand them over without shaking but my hands won't stop. Until she touches them. Her hands stop me from shaking, I feel my face grow hot and my heart threatens to pound out of my chest.
"Thank you, Shoto I love them. Now my driver is waiting to take us to dinner." She says taking my arm and starts pretty much dragging me before my I can compute what just happened. As we exit, we enter the night air but I don't feel cold. "I hope you are going to enjoy dinner tonight. I picked out my favourite place to go to." She says as we walk,
"Oh, very nice. I am sure I will. I don't get to go out much to restaurants. I didn't want to go out when I was young because I didn't want to be seen out with my father. I did really always want to go." I explain as we continue towards the main gates.
"I am very sorry about your childhood. It makes me sad to hear about it." She responds, her facing turning sad,
"It's all in the past now. No point in denying my childhood. I am the man I am because of it. It's just that my past is a bit more visual than others." I say smiling, just as we reach the car which isn't really a car more a limousine.
"Ah here is the car." She says just as a very large man gets out of the driver's seat and wanders round to us.
"I am Umar. I will be your driver tonight." He says doing a quick bow. "Please get in Mrs Yaoyorozu. And Mr Todoroki." He says opening the door for us both. I let Momo get in first and then I follow, I wasn't prepared for what I enter. The car is pure high class, the seats are all leather, with massive amounts of space inside. It looks like everything inside must be worth over a billion dollars.
"This is amazing," I say looking around the interiors some more,
"Thank you. You should see my house." She says which intrigues me,
"What does your father do?" I ask,
"Well, he runs a collection of companies, many green energy companies as well as many hero equipment companies. Not just that he also own stocks in some of the biggest companies across the country. Plus, his sponsorship with the pro hero Batter over in America. My mother also runs some companies as well, she used to be a pro-hero before she married my father." She explains which explains where her wealth comes from.
It feels as if it was only a few seconds, but I know it is closer than to ten minutes, but the car stops, and I look out the window to see a literal gold restaurant. The glass all has a slight gold tint and from what I can see the tables are also gold, but the tint of the windows may be playing tricks with me.
So, as Umar opens the door and I step out I am almost blinded by all the lights. It is even more bright out here, and I am sure it is pure gold in the pillars.
Be a gentleman and be yourself.
I think to myself as I turn around to offer Momo a hand, out of the car. Which she accepts.
"Thank you, good sir." She says as she wraps her arm around mine once again.
"So, is this place made of real gold?" I ask looking around as we walk forward towards the main doors.
"Yes. My father own shares in the restaurant after I said I liked eating here. Over time it became my favourite restaurant." She says as we enter,
"Ah, Miss Yaoyorozu. Your table is right this way." A waiter dressed in gold white says, leading us towards a table for two in the middle of the room. As we make it I pull out a chair for Momo which she takes and then I move round to sit in my seat across from her. "Your appetizers will be right out." The waiter says leaving us,
"Sorry. I kinda picked out a preset meal I hope you don't mind." Momo says which doesn't surprise me.
"No. I don't mind. I wouldn't know what to order anyway." I say nodding to her,
"So what are your goals after school? What's your plan?" she asks which takes me back a bit.
"I haven't really thought about it honestly. I want to be one of the top heroes, but I think we all want to be that. I haven't really thought about it in too much depth." I say trying to come up with something. "I haven't spoken to Midoryia about this, but I wouldn't mind being on a team with him. He is like the second coming of All Might and my quirks are like my father's, Imagine the good and combat strength that could be achieved if we worked together." I say,
"That sounds wonderful. I want to be a top hero of course. But I want to open a hero agency, or a team based one at least. From going to school this year I understand my quirk is useful for rescues but in combat, I find it more difficult. In combat, I find I am more useful to be a supportive member than in direct combat." Momo says, which makes sense in my mind at least.
"You are pretty effective with that staff you create. I wouldn't want to face you in a fight when you are wielding your staff." I say encouraging her,
"Thank you, Shoto." She pauses for a while, "What about personally?"
"Well umm. I don't really know honestly. My drive has been to become a hero better than my father, so I never really thought about anything else. Have you?"
"Yeah, a little. I know I want to get married someday. I also want to have kids but when I am ready and all. Once I am a professional hero and can support myself. I have always wanted to be a mother; I just enjoy looking after kids and seeing their bright faces."
"I would like to get married, but I don't know really what else. I think I need more time to set my house in order before I can answer that question more honestly." I say,
"Your meals." Says the waiter placing two plates in front of us. Then I feel the wind blow onto my neck, and I watch as Momo's eyes grow wide like an owl and in an instant I react. Turning 360 degrees throwing up an ice wall to cover the waiter, Momo and myself. Right as an explosion occurs blasting glass either side and I assume into my ice wall.
As I lower the ice wall, I see a buff man, wearing all black. His hands glowing a bright red. The man is taller than me, maybe as tall as my father.
"Well. I never expected to find UA students here. I just wanted to rob the place but getting to kill two heroes in training why not." The man says in a husky voice, as he does I quickly unlock my phone behind my back and send Midoryia my location just like he sent his when he was fighting Stain.
"I will give you one chance to leave," I say defiantly knowing that I can't fight without my hero licence.
"My quirk I have developed over many years. Trained it to be a weapon of mass destruction. Some kid is not going to stop me!" he yells as his fist glows brighter and he smashes it into the ground. The ground growls like some sort of beast and it starts to split. The ground splits under the sheer force of his fists. "Overhaul may have been defeated but his will, his spirit. Shall live on!" he yells. Then I hear a boom behind me and out of the corner of my eye, I see a cannonball fly past and into the guy's chest sending him flying backwards.
"Nice work Momo," I say standing up, As I turn to look at her, I hear an earth-shattering crack and I see the ground give way, I somehow manage to push her to safety. Away from the forming crack.
"Nice trick you little bitch. Your gonna pay for that!" the man says, and then I hear it the crackling of lightning. As I turn my head, I see a sight for sore eyes, I see Midoryia racing full speed at the man. A second later Midoryia has shoulder charged the man like rugby players do and sent him flying backwards into a wall.
"Todoroki are you alright?" he asks, looking to me. I notice that he is wearing his arm braces as well as his Iron soles as well.
"Yeah, I can't fight without my licence!" I yell out and then I notice another racing towards Midoryia,
"Sorry, I'm late," Iida says racing up to stand next to Midoryia,
"Alright. Iida, I don't know what this guy can do. I assume some kind of super strength and endurance. Can you evacuate everyone from the surroundings? Shoto can you work on making the building structurally sound with your ice. Momo be prepared to support me please!" Izuku yells out before he takes a deep breath.
Midoryia POV:
"One for All 30%!" I yell as I focus on the energy coursing around my body. "ACTIVATE!" I scream letting out shockwaves with every tiny movement I make with my body. I can feel the ground crack and sink as I do this.
I focus on the man in front of me, his hair is long and black full of mats, but he seems ripped and his fists are glowing red. "YOU'RE THE ONE WHO FOUGHT OVERHAUL! I WILL KILL YOU!" the man yells in a husky voice.
He starts to race at me, so I do the only logical thing and I run at him. He continues not stopping like an unstoppable rhino. As he is about to reach me, I leap into the air using my quirk to completely clear him, land and start to swing my leg.
I connect with his back and I send him flying straight towards the cars. Which he smashes into with a massive crack. But as soon as he had landed, I notice he is still moving pushing himself up. So, I run again towards him.
As I reach him, he moves quicker than I expected gripping my arm and lobbing me into the car next to me. Which crumples around me, I can feel the pain enter my back, it wouldn't have been as bad in my normal hero suit but in normal clothes, I can feel the bruises already start to form on my back.
Alright, think! This guy clearly has a strength enhancing and durability quirk. How can that be overcome? Launch him into the air and let gravity do the work for me. Even if he is stronger than me, gravity could give me that edge I need to beat him. Just need to find a way to get him air born. I wish Uraraka was here.
As I finish my thought, I have the exact idea I need. Quickly pushing myself up and activating my quirk to run out of his reach for now. I quickly look around and I can see Iida still evacuating people and Shoto is freezing some damaged parts of the building. Then I see Momo, her canon at the ready next to her.
I purposely run close to her and I hope she sees me. I give her a quick thumbs up and nod and continue to race around and around in circles. As the man walks into the centre of the circle, I am making I hear a boom from the canon. Clearly, she got the message firing her canon which the man dodges quickly. As he does, I race towards him grabbing both his arms bending him backwards. Then I jump onto my back pushing my feet into his lower back and then I release sending him flying into the sky. As I hit the ground I roll and from a crouched position I leap into the air, so I am at the same height as the villain. Without a second thought, I punch him in the gut sending him rocketing towards the ground as if he was a bomb.
Like a bomb he hits the ground sending out a shockwave and a cloud of dust. As I fall, I flip shooting a wave of air to break my fall and slow me down. As I look over, I see the man unconscious covered in blood.
"I am so glad that is over," I say wiping my nose which has decided now is the time to start bleeding.
"At least it's over," Iida says racing up next to me.
"Yeah sorry about this guy ruining your date Momo," I say looking down at the man again.
"It's ok. It is will be one great story though." She says still sounding upper class even after firing canons at a villain.
Shoto POV:
As I finish the last of supports, I sigh. "Worst date ever," I say to myself slumping my shoulders over.
"I haven't been on any others, so I got to say this is my best and worst date. I got to spend some time with you, and I wouldn't mind doing this again and without the villain attack would be nice." Says an upper-class but soothing voice.
"Really?" I ask surprised by that she wants to go on another date,
"Yeah. I can't wait." Momo responds and as I turn around to lock eyes with her, she moves in fast. Then I feel her lips plant themselves on my own and I feel the electricity run between us. I feel happy and I feel as if my heart is going to pound its way out of my chest and all over Momo. Never in my entire life have I felt something so invigorating or made me feel like this.
As we release from our kiss, she has wrapped her arm around my waist, so I do the same to her. Finally placing her head on my shoulder. As she does, I finally know where I belong. Where I want to be. I want to be here next to her.
"You guys go home. We will wait for the police." Midoryia says and so we do.
[I hope you all enjoyed the chapter! Please tell me what you thought, especially for the fight scene. Anway have a great day and GO BEYOND PLUS ULTRA!]
