My Hero Academia: The Rental Boyfriend (Short Story) Part 1

(Based off the new Anime I found, it is called Rent a Girlfriend or Kanojo, Okarishimasu. If interested it can be found at wcostream dot com/playlist-cat/kanojo-okasishimasu-english-dubbed or subbed. Check it out. It is really funny.)

The Dual Problem and the Instant Solution:

"All right I will come." Momo Yaoyorozu said and hung up her Cell Phone in frustration. She had spent the last half hour begging, pleading and even close to demanding that she not come home for the weekend. But her Father had been adamant that she come home for a visit and she knew why. He intended to have several of what he considered eligible and perfect suitors for her to meet. Wanting her to find someone that he believed would be suited for her. Though in her estimates they were all egotistical self centered jackasses that she had no intention of ever being associated with. She had no idea what to do. She could not simply call him back and tell him that she needed to remain to study. She had already tried that one and he shot it down with the fact that School was out for a 3 day weekend. Flopping onto her bed, she picked up one of her pillows, placed it over her face and screamed into it. "Great I get to spend the entire weekend at home dissuading a bunch of idiots from trying to grope my Ass or tits." She grumbled into the Pillow.

"That does sound like fun." The familiar voice of Kyoka Jiro said and Momo moved the pillow to see her friend standing just inside her room.

"No it is not. It sucks. Oh sure in front of my Dad or Mom those...idiots act like perfect gentlemen. Real Kiss Asses. But when they not there, those same gentlemen grab my butt or try to cop a feel of my breasts. All the while trying to get me to go someplace alone with them." Momo said to her closest friend and Kyoka smiled.

"You know what you need?" Kyoka asked and Momo gave her a puzzled look. "A Boyfriend. A real intimidatingly, muscular, imposing and powerful Boyfriend that would rip their arms off if they tried to do anything with you." She suggested and Momo laughed, throwing her hands in the air.

"I can create a lot of things. A Boyfriend is not one of them. So how do you suggest I come up with one in...the next two hours." Momo asked, glancing over at her Alarm Clock and Kyoka smiled.

"Oh I have an idea about that." Kyoka gestured for Momo to come with her and then led her friend down the Hallway. Generally she only eaves-dropped on the others when she noticed something was wrong with one of her Classmates. She had seen that with Izuku Midoriya. He had received a Phone Call and when he quickly left the Kitchen, she followed him. Then plugged her right earjack into his door and overheard a very disconcerting conversation he had with his Mother.

"Where are we going and who do you have in mind for this?" Momo asked as her friend continued to lead her down the Hallway. She smiled back at her.

"Izuku Midoriya. I believe that you and him both have a problem and I think I know of a great idea that solves both of your problems in one fell swoop." Kyoka stated with a mischievous smirk. They found him in his room with his door open. Methodically picking up some of his Prized All Might Collectibles and placing them into a Large Cardboard Box. Right after checking their value on his Cell Phone. "Hey Midoriya...Whatcha doing?" Kyoka asked and Izuku slumped slightly.

"Uhm...just putting these away." Izuku replied and both girls knew he was lying. It was too obvious as he put another one of his collection into the Box. Kyoka entered his room and placed her hand on his left arm.

"Dude...I know...okay...I sort of overheard." Kyoka admitted and Izuku inhaled softly. She turned towards Momo. "Can I tell her?" She asked him and he shrugged, she took that as if it was alright. "His Mother...her annuity payments have been suspended for the next three months and...well she is broke. She needs about 20,000 Yen to pay for...well everything." Momo instantly reached into her pocket.

"I can loan you that much easily...or just give it to you." Momo said and Izuku shook his head.

"No. I can't accept that...this is my problem and I do not want to burden any of you. I will just sell my...my Collection and what Money I have...it should be enough." Izuku said sternly and Momo shook her head as well.

"It would not be a burden Midoriya...we are all your friend and if you need help then you should let us help you." Momo declared and Izuku continued to shake his head.

"I am sorry but no. It is okay...my Mom is more important then any of these things." Izuku stated and Kyoka decided it was time to make her suggestion.

"Midoriya you will not take a loan or let any of us just give you the Money...how about if you earned it?" Kyoka asked and Izuku looked at her completely confused. As did Momo. "Have you seen that new TV Show...Rent a Girlfriend?" She asked with a huge smile on her face. He nodded and so did Momo. Then it dawned on Momo what Kyoka had in mind.

"Oh that is a splendid idea Kyoka...absolutely brilliant." Momo said and Kyoka frowned over at her.

"You sounded a bit surprised that I came up with the idea." Kyoka stated and then smiled again at Izuku who still was confused. "Listen Midoriya..you need Money...Momo here needs someone to pretend to be her Boyfriend for the Weekend. Now what if she paid you to be like Mizuhara and be her Rental Boyfriend. It solves both of your problems, doesn't it?" Izuku paled and fell back onto his bed, gasping loudly for air.

"Wait...that...that...no one would ever believe that I...that I am your Boyfriend." Izuku stuttered and continued to hyperventilate. Momo crossed her arms over her chest.

"Why wouldn't they?" Momo demanded and Izuku slowly looked up at her.

"Oh come on Yaoyorozu...there is no way that anyone would believe that you...are...that you and I are together." Izuku could tell Momo wanted details so lowering his eyes towards the floor he slowly gave them. Blushing a deep shade of red. "I am...well me...a Pathetic Loser like Kazuyu from the Show and you...and you are exactly like Mizuhara...completely gorgeous..the prettiest girl in Class...actually probably at UA." Kyoka did not know how to take that, but she had to silently agree with that. Momo was exactly all of that.

"You are also the bravest, the kindest and most endearing Boy in Class...not to mention cute." Momo said and Izuku gasped, looking up to see her smiling fondly at him. "Come on Mid...Izuku it is a perfect solution to both of our problems. I need a Boyfriend so that I do not spend the entire weekend being almost molested by a bunch of well to do perverts that look at me as if I was a piece of meat and you need Money. Since you won't take a loan or let me give it to you. Then this is like I said a perfect solution." She waited and slowly Izuku nodded. "Good. Now dress Nice, a shirt, tie and slacks. Also bring a change of clothes. My Parents will probably want you to spend the night." Before he could protest or change his mind, Momo left with Kyoka in tow. Once down the Hallway and almost to Momo's Room.

"You know this might be a good chance for you to actually make him your real Boyfriend." Kyoka said and Momo glared at her. "Oh come on Momo, you got it so bad for him it is completely obvious. I say since you are going to be acting like a couple..why not take this opportunity and go for it."

Sitting in the backseat of a Chauffeur driven Car with Momo besides him, holding his hand. Izuku tried to remember everything that Momo had told him. What she expected him to do. Thankfully it did not entail that much. At most he would have to hold her hand and perhaps kiss her. Though they would fake that part. Which was easy enough. All they would do is make it appear that they kissed by keeping their mouths closed. She had demonstrated it on Kyoka and he had to agree it did look like they actually kissed. Though when the two Girls appeared to Kiss, he found it extremely interesting. Now though his thoughts were completely centered on the details as Momo repeated the crucial points. "Okay we have been together for about two weeks and only recently we became a couple...a day or so ago. That will easily explain why you are so...well nervous." She whispered to him and he exhaled sharply.

"I do not know if I can do this." Izuku whispered to her and she smiled.

"All you got to do is basically keep close to me and it should be fine." Momo said back to him and he licked his dry lips. Nervous did not even cover how he felt at that moment as they pulled up the long Driveway to her Home. He felt like he was about to throw up. If he did not need the Money to help his Mother, he would have powered up to about 10% and escaped. Of course it took Momo and Kyoka ten minutes to convince him to accept the Money. He was fully willing to help her without being paid for it. But Momo insisted, so now he was essentially trapped. She pulled him inside the huge House and was immediately descended upon by her Parents, who both stared at him weirdly. Holding his hand, she immediately stated that he was her Boyfriend and again Izuku felt faint.

Excusing himself, Izuku found himself in one of the Yaoyorozu's elaborate Bathrooms, which in his estimates this one was about the size of his Dormroom. Lightly smacking his head on a Wall. "I am so doomed...this is way beyond anything I ever heard about." He whispered hitting his head repeatedly against the wall. It took him a good two more minutes to be able to return and as he did. Momo was gleefully explaining to her Parents about her relationship with him. From how they started Dating about 12 days ago to them becoming a fledgling couple. All in all a complete lie. But he noticed she did it so well. While he felt like he was about to die.

"Sooo 12 days...are you doing anything inappropriate to my little Girl?" Momo Father asked in a extremely demanding voice and Izuku paled.

"Oh other then pretending to be her Boyfriend for money." Izuku silently said. "No Sir...nothing at all." He blurted out in panic and Momo smiled over at him.

"See Dad he is just the perfect gentlemen...he would never do anything inappropriate to me." Momo said calmly and her Father laughed.

"Yeah right! You will have me believe that this young Man does not have some perverted devious notion of not doing something obscene with you. I know how Teenagers think and it is all about Sex." Her Father said glaring at Izuku.

"Come on Torgi...this is Momo...she would never be with someone that she did not feel to be trustworthy." Her Mother said still smiling, though Izuku could swear the elder Woman was also glaring at him menacingly. Almost telepathically telling him that if he touched Momo wrongly or hurt her feelings. She would torture, castrate and kill him. That is if Momo's Father did not get to him first. The rest of the day did not get any better. He was flooded with questions and subtle glares. Especially when Momo pretended to kiss him. If he did not know any better she had set that up so that her Father would walk in on that moment.

"I am going to die." Izuku whispered. "I survived my encounter against that Nomu Creature, being choked by Tomura Shigaraki, I faced off against Stain the Hero Killer, I fought that Psycho Muscular and here I am about to be killed by Momo's Parents. What a way for me to go." He thought swallowing heavily as her Father glared at him. Thankfully before her Father could actually do anything, Momo maneuvered him to another room.

"You are doing great...if this keeps up then I should be safe for at least a month before my Dad tries to subtly have me meet anyone else." Momo whispered to him and Izuku groaned.

"I am glad you think so...your Dad looks like he wants to kill me and your Mother keeps pointing at her eyes and then at me...indicating she is watching me." Izuku said and Momo chuckled.

"It will get better I promise...all we got to do is go through the rest of the day and tomorrow morning." Momo said and Izuku shook his head.

"Once I leave I am not coming back...especially tomorrow morning." Izuku told her and Momo smiled.

"Remember when I said that you might have to stay the night...well my Mom sort of insists that you do." Momo said and Izuku groaned again in dismay. She took his right hand in hers, interlacing her fingers into his and led him out of the room. Which almost turned him once more into a blushing, stuttering mess. Here he was holding hands and pretending to be the prettiest girl at UA Boyfriend. It was a dream come true, but with her Parents it was closer to a pleasant nightmare. Thankfully the would be suitors that her Father had arranged to be there left hours ago. At first the three young Men attempted to intimidate him, even threaten him physically. Until one of the three recognized him from the Sports Festival. They left with excuses that they had some important matters to attend to. For Momo she could not believe that the three idiots were actually intimidate by Izuku. But they did not know him so they did not know how gentle he was, how courageous, how he would help anyone without a moments hesitation and she was utterly smitten with him. Giving his hand a gentle squeeze she led him into the Main Dinning Room where her Parents awaited them.

Usually Izuku had a healthy appetite and would eat about everything on his plate. Especially as good as the Food that was served to them. But between his anxiety and nervousness, he just could not bring himself to eat that much. It did not help matters when her Father kept glaring at him. "Tell me something young Man. What are your plans regarding my Daughter? Your long term Plans." Her Father asked and he almost chocked on his Soda that he was drinking.

"Long term." Izuku gasped out and Momo giggled.

"Dad..we are not even at that point yet. We only just started Dating. Though...who knows." Momo gazed over at him fondly and he internally began to panic. Her Father inhaled sharply but seemed satisfied with the answer. The rest of the meal seemed to center around his relationship with her and Momo answered most of the questions and even provided some terrifying speculations of their future together. All through the whole meal, Izuku felt like he was going to have a heart attack or a stroke. With Dinner over, Momo declared she was going to give Izuku a tour of the House and grounds. Showing him first the Indoor Greenhouse, the Outdoor Garden, the fully equipped Gymnasium and finally the Twenty Car Garage. In the Garage she smiled. "We can talk in here, the Cameras do not pick up audio." She told him and he seemed to deflate with relief.

"I do not know how much longer I can do this." Izuku stated and Momo smiled.

"It is only for the rest of tonight and tomorrow morning. Just pretend until then and everything will be fine. Actually it is going great. My Parents have not since meeting you, subtly hinted towards any of those idiots that they want me to consider. They must really think you might be the one." Momo said and he paled.

"Momo it is all pretend. What are you going to tell them later?" Izuku asked and she shrugged.

"I can play it out for at least a month, if necessary I guess I could rent you a couple more times." Momo said and he shook his head.

"Momo this is a one time thing. There is no way I want to do anything like this again." Izuku declared and briefly noticed the sad expression on Momo face.

"Oh." Was all that Momo said and he could swear she looked like someone had just punched her in the stomach. He began to wonder or actually hope that maybe she did like him and not just as a friend. Summoning what courage he had left.

"If I had to do it though. I would not have you give me any Money to do it." Izuku said and Momo instantly smiled. She grabbed his right hand in her left and pulled him into one of the nearby Closets. "Uhm Momo what...why are you...? He was completely puzzled until she shut the door and spun towards him.

"Can I ask you something Izuku?" Momo asked him and he nodded. "Do you like me?" He nodded again. "Maybe a little more then that?" Now he began to feel lightheaded and desperately wanted to tell her that he had a huge crush on her. But if he did that and she laughed at him or turned him down. He was sure he would not be able to survive the rejection. She placed her right hand on his chest and stared directly in his eyes. He swallowed heavily as he looked back into her eyes. Izuku did not know what to do. A hundred thoughts ran through his mind. The primary one was that he should kiss her. He could almost hear Kacchan's voice.

"GROW A PAIR DEKU! KISS HER ALREADY YOU FUCKING NERD! SHE WANTS YOU TO!" Kacchan said within his imagination and Izuku inhaled softly. Leaning closer, he zeroed in on her mouth. When she did not back away, he felt his heart begin to pound heavily within his chest. His Mother had told him once that the art of kissing a Girl was he should only lean about 90% of the way and let her go the other 10%. So at what he believed was 90 % he stopped and to his surprise she leaned the rest of the way. They kissed lightly, more of them pressing their mouths together. But it was enough for them both to move closer together and deepening the embrace. She moved her right hand and arm around the small of his back and pressed herself more against him. Parting they both stared at each other.

"I like you a lot Momo." Izuku whispered to her and Momo smiled. Then kissed him again. They continued for a few more minutes and then Momo knew that they needed to leave the Closet before her Mother or Father started to look for them. She did not need her Parents believing that she and Izuku had sneaked off somewhere to do something what they would deem inappropriate. Ducking out of the Closet, she held his hand tightly in hers, then smiled back at him.

"I like you a lot too Izuku. You do know what this means right?" Momo asked him and he swallowed then nodded. "Just to clarify. You are now my Boyfriend...my real one." He smiled broadly and as they walked she made sure that the Cameras caught them in another part of the House. Nearing the Indoor Pool that was twice as big as an Olympic sized Pool, Izuku frowned. "What's the matter?" She asked and he bit his bottom lip.

"I still need to think of a way to help my Mom and I really should give back the money you gave me." Izuku said and Momo shook her head.

"No. I want you to have that. I only wish you would let me give you more." Momo watched as he shook his head negatively then an idea came to her. "You know I am sure that I am not the only one that needs...lets say a Boyfriend at the last moment. You could do that." She suggested and he paled.

"Wait..What?" Izuku had no idea what Momo was thinking.

"You become a Rental Boyfriend." Momo suggested and Izuku was not sure if he could be a Rental Boyfriend. Sure there were Rental Girlfriends, but whoever heard of a Rental Boyfriend. "Though as your Real Girlfriend if you do this, I want to set some very strict and specific rules." She finally got him and she was not about to lose him to someone else. "We need to also spend a lot of time together, kinda solidify our relationship. But you should be able to do it a couple of times a week."

"How would I even...you know tell someone that I am doing that?" Izuku asked and Momo pulled out her Cell Phone, went to her Facebook Page and sent out a small Ad to everyone she knew. The next thing she did was start a list of the rules. The top rules was that Izuku would not kiss, hug or be expected to do anything sorted. All he would do is be someone's Paid Boyfriend and would even say he was their Boyfriend if queried.

"There nothing to it. Later we will write up some more rules." Momo stated and put her Phone away. "Now how about we go to the Media Room and watch a Movie. It would give us a chance to really spend some time together and..." She smiled and led him down several hallways. All the way all Izuku could think about was what if someone actually rented him. Could he actually do it without turning into a stammering blubbering mess.

Holding Kyoka Jiro's hand, she walked along with him towards her Home. Izuku could not believe that Kyoka had rented him for three Hours. "Relax dude...I am not going to try anything. Momo would kill me if I did. All you are doing is helping me prove to my Parents that I like Boys. They got it in their heads that I might be into Girls." The Purple Tinted Haired Girl said as she continued to guide him down her Street towards a Mid Sized White House. This was his first, or rather his second time doing this and he was just as nervous when Momo rented him. Though that one worked out that he and Momo were now Really Dating, that she was really his Girlfriend. Where this he was not really Kyoka's. After three hours, the two left and Kyoka smiled over at him. "You were great Izuku...my Mom and Dad were completely convinced that we are Dating." She chuckled and then was about to toss what her Mother had given to her on their way out. Instead she pocket the small box and Izuku looked over at her curiously.

"Uhm what is that?" Izuku asked and Kyoka blushed slightly.

"Trust me you do not want to know." Kyoka stated still blushing and as they turned a corner, she let go of his hand. "Might have to rent you again in a couple of weeks, but more so that I can actually go out with a Boy. Haven't really done that yet and I wouldn't mind seeing what it feels like." Izuku was still curious on what her Mother had given to her, but decided not to pry. On the train ride back, Kyoka sitting next to Izuku glanced down at her pocket. She could not believe her Mother would give her what she did. Like if she was really Dating Izuku she would be so inclined to do that so soon. Once more she blushed at the fact that her Mother had given her a Box of Condoms. Telling her that it was just in case the two of them decided to go all the way.

To be continued:
