Momo awoke pleasantly the next morning and headed to the bathroom to get ready for class. She felt like she had a long dream and yet felt fairly rested. She was in the middle of brushing her teeth when she noticed a slight redness on her right wrist which was probably nothing… "ooooh" she groaned as she put the pieces together.

The previous nights events came rushing back to her in a flood of emotions and confusion. She had no idea how to process what had happened so she pushed all of those thoughts to the back of her mind and focused on preparing for class.

She left her room clad in the prestigious UA uniform with her school bag in hand. She was feeling fairly calm despite last nights… despite whatever happened to her last night. She cleared her throat and got into the elevator only to get hit in the back by a flying UFO.

"Momoooo Chan!" the alien like Mina yelled out with excitement as she landed back down on earth. Jirou followed behind her and greeted her friend much more calmly.

"Hey Momo, we were actually just talking about how last night you seemed like you were sick or something" the earjack hero pointed out.

"Yeah Momo! You brushed right by us in the lobby without even looking at us" the horned girl pouted.

Yaoyorozu tried to keep her cool and play down their worries.

"Haha yeah i'm sorry about that guys, I had just finished a run and was feeling light headed. I didn't mean to brush you off, you know that we're good friends."

She smiled at the pair since she did indeed find comfort in their company.

"Momooo-chan! I knew you loved us! Mina cried out as the pair giggled at their pink friend.

"I'm glad you're alright Momo, we were beginning to think you had started seeing a boy or something since your face was so red."

Jirou had stated this jokingly since Momo had never been drawn to such things as romance before but was left rather surprised when a hint of red appeared on the girls face.

"G-Guys I'm just a little under the weather I suppose, it's nothing a future hero can't handle."

Both Jirou and Mina glanced at each other and mentally took note to discuss the sight a blushing momo in private.

"Well if you say so Momo chan, Ah! We're gonna be late lets rush guys, Momo create us a golf cart!"

"Maybe some other time" Momo laughed.

She was glad that she had such good friends to relieve herself of worry with. The fact that they didn't push any further into the matter of last night also helped. She didn't want to think about it at all. But her thoughts shifted to those of worry as she thought about if Todoroki was going to be ok with a temperature so high.

She shook her head and tried to clear her mind for class. The trio approached the Shiny glass structure that was the UA school that had been less and less impressive as it reminded them of schoolwork and studying.

Aizawa sensei unfurled himself out of his sleeping bag and began the lecture on future hero internships. Momo found herself struggling more and more to focus on what he was saying when the cause of last night's drama was seated directly to her right.

He appeared to be in perfect stoic form as if last night had never occured and it was driving her crazy. Midoriya had returned her text with a simple "he seems to be just fine Yaoyorozu-san" and now she saw for herself that it was true.

A vein was near popping in her forehead as she thought of all that she went through to help this annoyingly perfect boy. She could feel her blood boiling with rage and thought about giving him a piece of her mind after class. She was lost in her anger when she noticed that someone was trying to talk to her.

Apparently the lecture had already ended and a certain someone was asking her a question.

"Yaoyorozu, where do you plan on doing your doing your internship" asked Todoroki.

Yaoyorozu turned to him for a solid five seconds with an almost comical dumbfounded expression. Did he really think he could just act like last night never happened? How was she supposed to respond normally right now. It just wasn't possible. She snapped back to reality after realizing what she was doing and tried to restrain her rage.

"I need to use the restroom" her brain popping out the safest thing possible in emergency mode. She could faintly hear him respond with a questioning "OK" as she hastily left the room.

She stared at herself in the bathroom mirror after splashing water in her face to cool off. This wasn't like her. She was the heir of Yaoyorozu family fortune and was raised to act as such. She didn't lose her cool and she would never act improper. This was all that "perfect ice prince's" fault.

She was overwhelmed with these strange feelings of anger and… warmth. "Ugh!" she groaned out loud, confused as to how to handle this situation. She wanted to know exactly what Todoroki was thinking but she couldn't bear to deal with the embarrassment she felt.

Momo returned to class and avoided eye contact with the boy next to her for the rest of the school day.

She exited the lockers in a spaghetti strap athletic top and black leggings, ready for a workout. She was managing her emotions better than she expected and was on her way to the training facility on campus for independent training when the one person she couldn't handle seeing approached her from the side.

"Excuse me Yaoyorozu, are you feeling ok?"

She paused for a moment to control herself before turning to him and shooting back a fierce glare. His neutral facial expression remained the same as he asked "I was wondering if I did something to upset you. I could feel you fuming all through class, ah, I mean no offense."

She couldn't believe he had the audacity to ask if he did something. Who wouldn't be furious in her predicament?

"You really don't know how what happened last night could have upset me? Who do you think you are?"

She turned around in a fit of rage when a hand suddenly fell on her shoulder.

"You know what happened to me last night? All I remember was that I was jogging back to the dorm and then it's hazy from them there but I think someone helped me back to my room. I'm fairly certain it was Midoriyama since he checked on me that morning. Do you know what anything about it?"

Momo knew Todoroki was not a person to lie but… he really didn't remember anything?

"I don't think you're lying but last night- !" She jolted backwards at a sudden pain that she realized had been an extremely cold sharpness from the hand on her shoulder. Along with the pain was a sudden rush of emotions-confusion, guilt, worry-all coursed through. She panicked.

"What are you thinking using your quirk on a fellow student how dare you! Get away from me!"

She sprinted away from the scene leaving Todoroki standing there at a loss. Momo didn't stop sprinting until she reached the dorm where she flew up the staircase on the side of the building and rushed to her room. She slammed the door shut and fell to her knees trying to recover her breath. The anger in her burned but for some reason she understood profoundly that Todoroki wasn't the kind of person who would hurt anyone without a reason. But then why had he used his quirk on her in a way that would cause her pain?

She thought back to the incident as she moved to her bed and sprawled out onto it. She had lost her cool and snapped at Todoroki in an unfitting manner even after she had promised herself she would act with integrity. She let out a deep sigh. To much had happened in the last couple of days for her to process it all.

Her thoughts were so scattered and the stoic prodigy was the main cause. She cursed herself once more for the negative feelings she had and just wanted to forget them like Todoroki had apparently forgotten last night.

She lay there trying to do so until a sudden revelation forced a gasp to escape her lips. Todoroki had touched her shoulder with his left hand, the side of his body that could only produce fire. How was that possible when she definitely had felt the touch of ice on her skin? Nothing made sense to her at all. She suddenly became light headed as her thoughts swirled and her head found her oversized pillow as sleep soon followed.

Heat. Heat was the only thing she could feel. Everywhere around her glowed orange and yellow as she drifted in the warmth itself. It was this feeling, the feeling that she experienced when her lips met Todoroki's that overtook her. It became overwhelming, growing hotter and hotter until warmth became to much to bear and her skin began to redden. She was about to scream in pain when suddenly she awoke to a dark room, filling with a dim yellow color from the path lights outside.

She was gasping for breath that she couldn't seem to find. The heat from her dream still encapsulated her in a world of discomfort. She needed some kind of relief from this feeling she thought. She wobbled to the bathroom to splash her face with cold water but when the water hit her skin, she felt no temperature from it all.

Looking at her hands and then at her face, she started tearing up in frustration. She couldn't feel anything as if the heat had numbed her sense of touch into nothing. She needed something that could fix this anguish, anything that would anchor her back into her herself.

Suddenly, the only thing she could think about was the feeling she experienced last night. The ecstasy she felt then was the antithesis of what she was going through now. All reason left her mind, as she left her room and stumbled into the elevator. Somehow she just knew that she needed to get outside, maybe the cool night air would cure what ailed her.

She realized with dismay as she left the dorm that this was not the case. The heat only grew more intense, its grip over her body forcing her to contort her face into a tight grimace. She fell to cobblestone below, her hands feeling not the moist rock but the force of an ever increasing heat. Her senses were leaving her body as she cried out in the loudest voice she could muster, "Somebody… Please, Help…. I need… Help".

The pressure around her threatened to collapse her entire being in on itself. Her lungs became unable to expand as her vision began to blur from the lack of oxygen She was so scared. It was then that she remembered who she was. Yaoyorozu Momo was not a person to give up, She wanted to live more than anything. She was a fighter and a hero; someone who makes a difference. She couldn't let this unfathomable curse take her life. No, She needed to live, she wanted to live so badly. Something could save her, she just knew it. Something could…

"Yaoyorozu!" Todoroki screamed as he appeared on the UA Trail and started sprinting towards Momo. "What happened!? Are you- You're burning up! How did this-"

This time it was the creation girl's turn to cut off the ice prince. Her body moved on its own, seeking a cure, her mind only vaguely aware that she had pushed the boy down onto the grass and enveloped her lips with his own.

The instant their lips touched Momo's mind left her body. The heat that had almost taken her life seemed to crack away as an icy cool substance seeped into every part of her mind.

She didn't know how or why but in this lucid dream state she was seeing herself from someone else's view. Her blushed look from below, Her calm profile, The back of her head disappearing from sight. Along with these visions came a flurry of emotions. She felt relief, worry, sadness all at once. These feelings settled into her heart as the icy chill had pooled around her body and eased the pain of heat long forgotten.

She had become completely submerged into a sea of clarity that had revived her senses and brought with them a sense of this newfound sense of herself. She opened her eyes and before her was Todoroki's blushing face only inches away. Tears of relief escaped escaped her eyes and fell onto his cheeks.

She saw his crestfallen expression and knew that somehow all her thoughts and emotions had been conveyed directly to him. He was unable to move or speak and she knew for a fact that whatever had just occurred was a mystery to him as well. A faint grin appeared on her lips.

"Do you remember now?"

Momo let out a small chuckle and then the exhaustion from the ordeal hit her as the world spun around her into darkness.
