Plus Costume Ultra
Momo put up her feet on the table, not caring that Iida was probably going to yell at her later in the evening. After the past few weeks they had just had, they needed to relax. Mina was fast asleep on the couch across from her, having just gotten back from a rescue mission with Kirashima and Fatgum. Bakugou was struggling not to fall face first into his Soup that he had made for himself and most of her other classmates were already in their beds, having gotten back much sooner than she and the others in the living room/Kitchen had. Opening the door to the new 2-A dorms, Deku slowly creeped in, his eyes almost shut. Bakugou somehow managed to look up and give Izuku a small wave before returning to his soup.
It was still really weird in her eyes to see Bakugou treat Izuku like a normal person now, actually it was really weird to just see him treat anyone with respect. Whatever Best Jeanist had done to him had changed him completely in the year that they had all known each other. Izuku stumbled over her way and Momo Had a really hard time not blushing at how toned her crush was. It was no secret that Izuku had put on the muscles over the past year and now his body was almost as toned as Bakugou who had been training his body for years.
When he arrived at the couch she was sitting on, he groggily asked 'Yaruozo? DO you mind if I sit next to you?' Shaking her head she replied 'of course not, you look like you're about to drop dead' a small smile graced his lips which was rare since his fight with Shigaraki and a couple of seconds later she bounced up as he collided with the cushion 'I swear All Might and Gran Torino are trying to kill me at the moment' Slowly slurping at her own noodles she asked 'Still training your quirk with them then?' he nodded. EVery since the "war" ended, Izuku along with All Might and Gran Torino revealed the truth to a group of pros and several people in class 1-A about the true nature of Izuku's and All Might's quirk. She was one of the few who had learnt and she remembered vividly Endeavour making it clear that we were only ever supposed to refer to it as His QUIRK so the press never found out what was actually going on.
Turning her head slightly she saw that Izuku had already pulled out his notebook and was writing more into it, scrubbing away with a pencil that he had in his hands. Jokingly she said 'Where do you keep all of these journals?' the smile that had been on his face stayed and he replied 'A Man never tells his secrets.' She laughed which made Mina squirm but she didn't really care. It Felt good to laugh properly again after so much death and destruction recently. But she couldn't help be curious about what he was writing in his current journals, She knew he used to keep notes about Pro-Heroes in them as notes for when he eventually became a Pro but now he was basically a 10 ten hero as it was and yet he still scribbled away into them….what could he be writing.
Leaning back slightly she tried to see what he was doing and asked 'So what are you writing about now?' His cheeks went red and said 'Just some costume improvements for some of the people in our class.' Wait, Really? She raised her eyebrows surprised, Izuku was normally pretty secretive about who he showed his journals to, as far as she was aware there had only been three students allowed to look at them, Ochako, Iida and Todoroki. Everyone else was normally forbidden.
Did he have a costume improvement for her? It was definitely one of the many questions that were going through her head at the very second but before the thought could get lost she asked 'Do you have one for me?' The red tinge on her Cheeks told her everything he did! He replied nervously 'Maybe'. Excitedly she asked not caring about how sore her feet were 'Can you show me?' He seemed taken aback by it and said 'You actually want to see what I designed?' SHe nodded her head up and down frantically like a bobble head getting to her feet, 'Have you seen my costume?! I literally have Mineta being a perv about it all the time. If I could have a costume that covers me up better without me having to deal with Mineta all the time it would be great!'
Mina was starting to stir and Izuku said 'Alright, I will show you...but maybe we should do it somewhere a bit more private so we don't disturb anyone else here.' Izuku got to his feet and led her to his room which was almost identical to how his room looked when they moved in the year before but now it had more of a worn heroes feel and some items of Gran Torino in it. Closing the door behind her she asked 'So how is Gran Torino doing with everything that happened?' trying not to directly refer to the events of the "war". Izuku stretched slightly, putting some deserts into his microwavable oven 'He's recovering well but it will be a while still before he can get back on the field. I wish he would listen to me and All Might when we should say he should take it easy, even if it is to just shush Master Nana up for a bit.' before covering his ears as he seemingly got yelled at by the vestige of All Mights master. His cheeks went red soon after.
After a couple of minutes he pulled his notebook out of his school jacket again, patting his bed as he did so to tell her to sit down next to him. Momo quickly sat down and watched as he flipped through his book, as he went through she managed to catch glimpses of new costumes for Shoto, Ochako and Kirashima. She was honestly amazed by how much he seemed to know his friend's design tastes and yet still make the costumes as practical as possible. Lightly she said 'Wee if you somehow never became a hero course student you could have become a designer with some of these designs. His cheeks went red at the compliment and his fingers almost slipped off the pages he was flicking.
Suddenly he came to a stop on a page labeled Momo Yaruozou - Creati- Quirk: Creation, It wasn't long before she quickly realised that unlike her classmates she had multiple pages based on her costume design. On the page that had her name on it she saw it lightly sketched in draft 1, on the next page she saw draft 2/3 looking at Izuku she asked 'You made multiple designs for me?' He nodded 'I wasn't happy with the actual design of the first look although I'm happy with the general concept, I'm much happier with the second one but I still needed some more tweaks so the third one is basically the culmination of what I think a good costume for you would be.'
She looked over the first draft and noticed that he had split her costume into two pieces instead of her current outfit which was one which was basically a mini Skirt at the end. The Costume he had designed changed it into a Pair of Shorts and a Crop Top that covered her chest and back. It was already far better than her current design although she quickly noted the lack of the cape on it, deku probably releasing what she was thinking said 'I originally designed this draft before you put on the cape.' well that answered why it didn't exist.
She then looked over the second design and noticed that the Outfit had lost the two separate parts and it was one whole piece however instead of being a skirt like costume it keeps the short like ends on the bottom half of it, the top cover her chest mostly but reveals a small bit of upper cleavage which is also mostly covered up by a short cape the stays up by a small rope around her neck. Around her waist she had a similar belt to what she does now but it now held her book in the front. It had arguably only tiny changes to her current costumes but under it she noticed the text, with lines underscoring it Made from Momo's black locks. She understood what this draft was about, it was about the practical side of it even more.
Looking up at Izuku tapping his foot nervously she asked 'What's my black locks got to do with the costume' he perked up and replied 'You know Lemillion? The guy who was two years older than us? Remember his quirk?' she nodded, she still thought about the sight she saw that day they fought even though it was something she would rather forget for good. 'Well his hero costume is made from his hair which made me think, if he can use his hair to make sure he can use his abilities and still have his clothes on, then why can't you? If we made it out of your hair, surely it would allow the objects you create to come through, that way you wouldn't have to have so much bare skin if you don't want to, giving people like Mineta less reasons to be...them.' SHe nodded annoyed that she had never considered something like that herself.
FInally she turned the final page and saw his final draft which looked like it had been drawn in very recently. The first thing that she noticed was the fact that this version was wearing goggles that had two lines coming out of them, the text read Protect eyes from dust, pull up the molecular Build of items and schematics to buildings. Huh that would actually be very useful. Then around her neck she was wearing a cape that went further down her back than the one in draft two but still not as long as her current cape. It covered her shoulders and arm at the very least. She originally thought that Draft 3 had the same outfit as in draft 2 because it looked almost identical however she noticed that it mentioned a utility belt to connect the Shorts and Top together, so it looked like they seemingly connected but they didn't actually? That's pretty cool! The Shorts the draft was sporting also had pockets on them with one being filled with a book of her items. On the Top there was a thick bkack line going down the center and on the Shorts there were two similar lines on each leg. This outfit also had gloves and armour for the back of her forearms, Shoulders and Shins. This draft was almost perfect in her mind. She could only think of a couple minor changes that She would make to the Costume to make it even better.
Closing the book gently she said 'I love that third draft, although I think it could do with a couple slight tweaks….do you mind if I come around tomorrow morning and we can discuss it? I would love to have a costume like that one!' Izuku nodded blushing and she stood up Stretching 'Great thanks a lot Izuku, see you in the morning' before bending down to give him a quick peck on the lips, leaving the room quickly after. The Last thing she heard from him before she closed the door was 'She kissed me….' maybe she could tell him how she felt after all.
