Chapter 3: Bra Code

Katuski had been feeling really weird as of recently, it was like a feeling of ease and a slight bit of nervousness. It was weird to him and Kinda pissed him off, he was making good on his promise and trying to get to know Momo better however in the process he had found himself becoming antsier around her. She was beautiful hands down but he had always known that and didn't react like this before.

Maybe it was her stupid laugh, the one that only he would get out of her whenever he teased her. Her voice had a husk to it making the laugh sound regal and elegant, even a little goofy. Maybe it was the way her eyes gleamed when she looked at him from certain angles, the dark grey shimmering a dull silver as she smiled at him. Maybe it was their conversations about literally nothing sometimes.

Katsuki had no clue what it was, but all that he knew was it made him feel really weird. The worst part about the whole thing was, he didn't see himself stopping anytime soon. They began talking more during class debating about random topics, Katsuki had always picked a fight with her in the presence of their class. Only to pry off suspicion on them, though they didn't really act like a married couple in general.

They seemed more like friends and Katsuki respected that aspect of their relationship, though he would never admit that in his life. However, the other day had made things a little weird. Katsuki had made visiting Momo at night a trend since he figured out a new route in and out of her room to his. Momo and him had been play fighting after a nothing fight, they rolled and laughed until Katsuki had pinned her.

They sat like that for a minute until Momo jerked causing Katsuki to land on her stomach kissing it, Katsuki had been mortified and jumped out of the window. They haven't talked since, mostly because both of them had been too stubborn to talk to another due to their thoughts of that night.

Katsuki denied and Momo overthought.

Kyoka sat on the edge of Momo's bed as she bombarded Kyoka with questions, "So what would I do if I wanted to talk to a boy about something weird? Well not weird but unexpected and let him know I didn't hate it." Momo said as Kyoka just looked at her. "Did you find a new kink with this dude?" Kyoka asks as Momo shakes her head.

"N-no! Of course not!" Momo says with a slightly red face, "When are you going to tell me about this mystery guy?" Kyoka says as Momo stops dead in her tracks looking at Kyoka, "That doesn't matter, it's purely hypothetical." Momo says as Jirou shakes her head.

"These questions are oddly specific about some hypothetical guy. Come on spill." Kyoka says as Momo shakes her head pointing a finger at her friend, "What about you?! It's not fair that I have to talk to you by my 'hypothetical' other while you still haven't told me who you are crushing on!" Momo exclaims as Kyoka blushes. "Low blow," she says as she twiddles her earplugs.

"Look, just relax. All you have to do is confront him and let him know that nothing bad happened, that's it." Kyoka says as Momo sighs, "Easier said than done." Momo says as she sits beside her on the bed. "You got this. Just show your strength and make things work." Kyoka says with a slight blush on her face. Momo smiles at her, "Take your own advice with this guy of yours." Momo says as Kyoka blushes and nods.

"Fine whatever," Kyoka says as Momo cheers a little as the two chat again.

"Just give it to me straight."

"Ok, are you ready?"

"Yeah."

"You're an idiot."

"The fuck did you call me!?" Katsuki roars as Kirishima laughs, "Seriously bro lighten up, she doesn't hate you." Kirishima says as Katsuki fumes. "Just apologize man. Hell maybe she liked it." he says as Katsuki looked at him. "Liked it?" he asked gingerly as Kirishima nodded. "Yeah, this reminds me of the time I touched Mina's-" Kirishima is cut off by Katuski.

"Nobody wants to know you fucking pervert!" Katsuki says as Kirishima deadpanned, "Horns." Kirishima says causing Katsuki to quiet down and give him a look, "I touched her horns, it was a little awkward at first but then I talked to her about it and learned she liked it." Kirishima says with a blush as he scratched the back of his head.

"Yeah, but I didn't fucking touch any horns. I kissed her stomach." Katsuki says as he was too late to catch himself, he blushed slightly as Kirishima clenched his fist, "That's manly as hell Bakubro!" Kirishima exclaims as Katsuki punches him in the head, "Shut up!" he roars as Kirishima laughs.

"Alright, it's settled." Kirishima says as he slams his fist into his hand, "I've gotta kiss Mina's tummy." He says seriously as Katsuki punches his head again "You fucking idiot!" he yells as Kirishima gets up. "Thank you, Bakubro, you've ignited a fire within me, I'm ready to go!" Kirishima says as he gets up and opens the door before turning, "I was reborn because of you, on this day. Now I'm just merely returning to where I belong." Kirishima says as Katsuki yells, "That's a fucking stolen line asswipe!" Kirishima laughs, "Seriously though, stop being so damn stupid and talk to her, it'll be fine." Kirishima says as Katsuki leans back on his bed.

"Fuck."

Momo and Katsuki had been in class when they finally decided to talk to each other, however, it didn't necessarily go as planned. "Ponytail." Katsuki says as Momo looks at him, "Bakugou". "I have a bone to pick with you," he says as Momo responds picking up on his pattern. "Oh do you now?" She says challengingly as Katsuki nods, "Yeah, it's about your form!" Katsuki says as Momo almost blushes, "My form? Katsuki you pervert." she says as Katsuki almost blushes. "Your fighting form dumbass!" he exclaims as the class watches on in confusion. "Yeah, I have to talk to you about yours too." Momo says as Katsuki growls.

"It's super shitty and full of openings. All those openings could lead to accidents." Katsuki says as Momo looked back at him, "Well sometimes openings are necessary in order to lure in an opponent, to look for counter-strategies." Momo fires back as Katsuki rolls his eyes.

"Why the hell would you want to do that, it's super dumb when you won't even let the opponent approach again once they fell for it once!" Katsuki says as Momo retorts, "Most times the opponent doesn't back down without taking the time to realize they could continue the assault and possibly win." Momo says as Katsuki fumes, "Then maybe it's time for the second round, this time with interest!" Katsuki yells as Momo scoffs.

"Fine, round two it is," Momo says as the two exchange looks, both having knowing smiles on their faces as they leave the classroom, Kyoka only looks at the two of them. 'When did they get so close?' she thinks to herself as she watches them go their separate ways.

Momo was anxious out of her mind that night, she had made preparations. A table was set up with tea on both sides, it was an Earl Grey with lemon. She had dressed in her sleeveless blouse and shorts, she had been ready for war as she sat in her spot and sipped her tea. What the hell was she even going to say to him? She had picked up on most of what he was saying in the classroom but she was genuinely fearful that he was actually trying to fight her.

She wasn't scared of him, she knew he wouldn't hurt her if his life depended on it. Well kinda, if they were in an actual fight he may put in some effort. She breathed in and out as her breath practically flew out of her when she caught sight of him, he was in his tank top and sweatpants. Probably fresh from working out with the slight glistening on his skin, he slipped into her room and closed the window and took a seat at the table.

"Momo."

"Yes?"

"The fuck is this?"

"Parley"

"The fuck is that?"

"Negotiations for a treaty."

"Oh. Fuck that."

"Why?"

"You liked it didn't you?"

Momo sat there and blushed as she tried to shake her head before she nodded. Katsuki widened his eyes at her, "Seriously?" he asks as she nods, "Please don't make fun of me, it's my first time doing something like that with a boy." Momo says as she blushes.

"You make it sound like we had sex or something." Katsuki chuckled as Momo blushed brighter slapping him lightly, "We'll i'm fucking sorrry." Katsuki apologizes as Momo's eyes widen. "I overstepped my boundaries or somethin'." Katsuki said looking off to the side as he frowned slightly.

Momo places a hand on his thigh as she looks at him, "We are technically married, it's not r-really too big of an issue." Momo stutters as Katsuki gives her a look. "I mean, I don't know what we are exactly but I enjoy your presence and I don't mind a little… contact." Momo says with a blush as Katsuki looks back at her.

"You saying I could… do it again?" Katsuki says trying to hide his own embarrassment as Momo blushes giving him a shove. "I can take it back you know!" Momo defends as Katsuki comes closer, "But would you?" Katsuki approaches as Momo's back hits her bed frame as she looks at the boy.

Katsuki's faces got closer to hers as she let out a breath as she spoke, "Katsuki… what are you doing?" Momo asks as his face was only inches away from hers, "A little contact." He teases as he begins tickling her, the back of Momo's head slaps against her bed as she tries to hold back her laughter.

Katsuki eventually stops as Momo's inhales as much air as possible as a few giggles escape her mouth as the boy laid next to her, "You're evil." Momo says as Katsuki chuckles, "Nah you love me." he says as they both got really quiet. Momo's face turned red as she stared up at her ceiling.

Did she? She honestly had no clue about how she felt about the boy, Katsuki while being a bit abrasive at times was also really sweet behind the scenes. She really enjoyed this side of him, she knew he would never show to anyone else. She can't remember when Katsuki had been so comforting, he had always been the loud-mouthed brute of the class. Was it the Festival? When he lectured her about how her keyboard needed more passion or the Joint training where he berated her about her performance.

Wait. Has Katsuki been caring for everyone this whole time? Ever since the One for All situation, she's noticed he's been more honest. In a moment she feels like she finally understands him even if it's just a little bit. She didn't know if it was love or not but she was definitely looking forward to getting to know him better.

She finally looked at Katsuki as he looked back at her, "Who knows, maybe I do." Momo says as Katsuki's face glows red, "You can't just fucking say that dumbass!" Katsuki says as Momo blushes a little too, "I just did. What are you going to do about it?" Momo teases as Katsuki got up.

"I'll have to get a real answer out of you then." he says while cracking his knuckles, "Wait, do you?" Momo says as she gets up, "Who fucking knows Ponytail?" Katsuki says as Momo smiles at the boy as he tackles her onto the bed and they begin play fighting, it was moments like these that made Katsuki smile.

Though now he was really confused, they half confessed to each other. Well, Katsuki didn't really know much about the whole love thing anyway, so he guesses that this is the closest thing to it. That fluttering feeling he got whenever they hung out together like this, it was the same reason he had kept climbing through her window.

He would have to investigate the feeling more.

The next day in class everything seemed to be in order with Iida speaking to everyone as he usually does, Momo landed her eyes on Katsuki as he spoke with the rest of the Bakusquad. She smiled at the boy as he gave her a glance back with a tiny smirk on his face.

This was practically perfect for her, Momo stacks her supplies for school properly as she watches Kyoka linger at Katsuki's desk.

"Hey, Kacchan?"

"What."

"You still taking me to Ryoba's for lunch this weekend?"

Momo's eyes widened as she watched the interaction in front of her as she finally pieced the situation together, Kyoka's mystery crush was Katsuki and she had told her to go for it. Momo looked at the pair with worry running through her system as she looked at Katsuki.

Surely he wasn't just going to hop on board, he was probably going to say something Katsuki-like such as piss off or something, Momo could feel sweat bead on her head as the boy looked at Kyoka.

"Sure. Tomorrow right?" Katsuki says as the visage of a plane crashing went off in Momo's brain.

'What the fu-!?'
