Momo's body moved before her thoughts could catch up as she jogged on the damp U.A lawn. She recognized part of what she felt as worry for her friend. What if Todoroki hadn't just been tired from training? She wanted to trust her gut even if it was making her do something unreasonable.

Momo remembered the floor of Todoroki's room and counted the same number of windows as there were doors until she got to the right one. She created a long nylon rope along with a carbon fiber hook big enough to grab on to the edge of the five story building. She firmly tied the two together and prepared herself.

She realized this was stupid and very unlike herself but what kind of hero would she be if she didn't try to help others? She spun the hook until it reached its peak speed and skillfully tossed it towards the roof where it landed with a light clanging noise. She confirmed the hooks grip and quickly made gloves for herself. She began her climb and used the wall the help her as needed. Within a minute and a half she reached the fourth floor dorm room with a sense of satisfaction.

She was about to knock when Todoroki hurriedly opened the window with a bewildered expression.

"Yaoyorozu! Get inside quick you're 40 feet in the air!"

Momo had to laugh at the boy's eagerness. She grabbed his outreached hand by the forearm and pulled herself in the room. She noted that he was indeed hot to the touch.

"How'd you even know I was hanging out there?"

"Well I was having trouble sleeping so I was drinking tea, and looking at the sky…"

He seemed embarrassed by this fact but Momo thought it was pretty cute. Cute as in a totally non-romantic looking at a small puppy kind of cute she told herself. Her inner debate was interrupted by the non romantically cute boy in front of her.

"Yaoyorozu why were you doing something so dangerous? What if something happened to you?"

She was happy but a bit surprised with the amount of concern he showed for her.

"Todoroki, I just had a bad feeling. I thought you were displaying symptoms that I had last night and I felt I needed to make sure you were ok. You're my friend after all."

His eyes widened at her last statement. He rubbed the back of his head while looking away.

"That's pretty surprising to me, I thought for sure you'd want to kill me over this whole ordeal."

"There were times when I did think that I have to admit, but like you said, If something like this had to happen then I'm alright with it being with you… I-I m-m-mean… it's not like I had a choice in the first place."

Todoroki watched her confident speech descend into a pile of nervous whispers and let out what could have been the world's first ever recorded chuckle from the ice prince. It lasted only a second but Momo couldn't believe what she had heard. She felt like she had just unearthed the world's eighth wonder. Todoroki caught himself before anymore laughter escaped him. He paused for a moment as if finally realizing a girl had just rope climbed up four floors to check on him.

"Would you like some tea since you're here Yaoyorozu?"

"Well… I was just coming to check on you. I don't need anything."

"Yaoyorozu, you just scaled a 40 foot wall to check on me at least let me make it up to you somehow."

Momo was trying to remain composed in the situation but the embarrassment of what she had done was catching up to her. She could only nod her head as Todoroki grabbed a teapot.

"You can sit by the table, I should finish the tea in a minute."

Momo sat down by the traditional japanese style table, knees resting on a comfortable pillow. This was the second time she found herself in this room and thought made her embarrassment even worse as she remembered the events of her last visit. Thankfully, she was distracted by the unique style of tea making that Todoroki used. He had filled a kettle with water from a large plastic bottle and while he lifted the kettle with his right hand, he produced a flame underneath the kettle with his right.

She was glad to see him in control of his perk. It relieved the fear that had made her climb up to his room in the first place. Momo looked at the orange and yellow flame as it slowly heated pot. Her gaze wandered to the face of the reticent boy whom she had once harbored feelings of jealousy towards. She was able to see every feature of his face in the dimly lit room as light from the flame reflected off of it. The kettle began releasing steam as Momo's eyes refused to move. His left side faced her, showing the profile of the scar that marked him.

She knew that she was closer to Todoroki than most, but as she looked at him, she realized she wanted to know more. More than that, she wanted him to feel comfortable around her. The teapot, now whistling, had to have raised the temperature of the room. Momo tugged at the straps of her top and wondered how it had gotten so hot. A bead of sweat dripped from her face. She wasn't feeling pain or the overbearing feeling she felt last night. This was different, her heart was racing but not from fear. She felt anxious but also excited. She wanted to feel him again.

"I'm fine, I'm fine, everything is ok" she whispered to herself internally.

"Yaoyorozu… Yaoyorozu? Do I have something on my face?"

It took Momo a few seconds to process that during her internal monologue her gaze hadn't fallen from Todoroki's face for a second.

"I'm… I'm so sorry Todoroki-san. I realize it's impolite to stare."

She angled her head down as she spoke mostly to cover the shame on her face.

The half and half hero silently grabbed two green japanese tea cups from his pantry and brought them over to the table. As he poured into Momo's cup he spoke.

"Todoroki" he said matter of factly.

"Pardon?"

"Im saying you can drop the honorifics Yaoyorozu. With everything I've put you through you can call worse names if it pleases you."

Momo had been practically parylyzed with the combined embarrassment that had been this night but she couldn't help but chuckle at the ice prince's show of compassion towards her. She smiled as the calming smell of warm tea wafted around her.

"If I just called you Todoroki I'm pretty sure the girls would think we were getting married. But if it's just the two of us… I guess I don't mind."

Momo immediately took a sip of her tea as she wondered how she could even say such embarrassing things around Todoroki. The boy's tea could be one reason she realized as the flavorful concoction seemed to soothe her to the bone. He sat across the table from her and stared at his drink.

"Hey Yaoyorozu, since you're here I suppose I owe you answers to any questions you might have. I'll answer everything I can."

Momo contemplated this as she drank more tea and set down her cup.

"Alright, you did say any questions so I'll take your word for it."

Momo thought for awhile and then began with some simple questions. The pair talked for a good twenty minutes about school, teachers, classmates and hero work in general. They found out that they shared a surprising amount of the same viewpoints. They saw why as they opened up more about their upbringing. They were each raised in prominent families with their futures mapped out for them. Each had been groomed and prepped for life as a hero and their recommendations to U.A. proved it.

She sensed a bit of tension as Todoroki told her about his childhood so she didn't push the subject. She learned of his preference for cats, traditional Japanese food and of course, peace and quiet. He listened as she told some stories from the girls dorm that usually ended with a big pillow fight across their entire dorm floor. Apparently the boys were just as rambunctious but Todoroki never took part since he always heads to sleep first. After a while they each paused for a moment to finish their tea and gaze out the window next to them. It was a calm moment, both were at peace, or so it seemed.

"Todoroki… I just have one more question."

She immediately stood up and grabbed the boy's forearm before he even had a chance to react.

"Why have you been lying to me about your condition this whole time?"

Momo tightened her grip in anger even as the heat from Todoroki's arm threatened to burn her skin.
