"Will you marry me?"
"What?"
Momo bowed and stuck her hand out.
Out of every option, this was the only one that might work. She wanted to stay in UA. To stay with her friends. And Midoriya offered a helping hand.
She didn't want to take advantage of his kindness but she couldn't figure out any other way.
"Wh-where d-d-d-did that c-come fro-from?" He asked rather nervously. Even she could tell how panicked he was.
"I thought about a lot of ways for me to stay and decided on this one." She stood up straight as she spoke. She could now see his face. Which was redder than a tomato.
"What do you mean by stay?"
She looked back down. 'Did I really say that? I didn't mean to tell him that?' Momo started panicking as she realised she said that.
"Oh…I might get taken out of UA." She followed up with. Momo took a quick peek at him and saw the face contort from a blushing mess to confusion and then finally an almost sad look. Before going right back to confusion.
"WHAT?!" He shouted. Momo was slightly taken aback by him raising his voice about it.
"It is far too early for that level of volume, what warrants it?" However, the weirdly tired voice of Tenya Iida coming from behind her startled her a bit more than the shouting grass head.
She turned around to face the engine teen. She didn't know how to answer him. What could she say?
Momo really didn't want the rest of the class to learn about her problem as she didn't want to worry them. It was her problem and she had to figure out how to overcome it. Plus she had already told Midoriya by accident. She really didn't want anyone else to know.
She began stuttering trying to come up with a reasonable excuse for why he shouted.
"Sorry about the noise. Yaoyorozu just said she was going to join me for my run." "We can talk about this later." Before she even realised it Midoriya was next to her telling Iida a lie with a completely straight face. She saw the look in his eyes and quickly noticed it was his "Hero Look" as she had decided to call it.
"I don't see why you would need to shout about that." His tired voice moved further away as he went to the kitchen to make himself breakfast.
Momo quickly turned back around toward "Paradise" but this time she stepped out into it. Joining the boy she had proposed to not 5 minutes ago.
"Let's get going." Midoriya said as he started his run. He moved in front of Momo and she immediately noticed a massive red mark on his leg.
W-was it her fault? No way.
Right?
Later.
They arrived back from their run and gained a few unusual looks from the others but they didn't mind.
They hadn't talked about her proposal while they were away. It was too risky as there were many people either running or just going around the area.
After arriving back they both split off from each other and went to their respective shower rooms.
Momo was standing under the falling water. Letting it run down her skin as she stood. It was then she realised exactly what she said to Midoriya earlier in the morning.
'Did I really propose? Aren't we too young?' She was slamming her head against the metaphorical wall. 'I mean who just asks a classmate if they want to marry? That's definitely not a normal thing to do. What if he tells others? Then everyone will know I am going to be kicked out.' Thoughts were bombarding her mind.
Until she looked up and saw it. There was a clock ticking. And it said there were 10 minutes until the start of class. Upon seeing this and realising how long she had she bolted out of the shower like a lightning strike. She grabbed a towel and turned the shower off faster than she had ever done in her life.
She quickly shook the towel down her entire body, drying as much as she could before she put on her underwear then school uniform. She ran out of the shower room and went straight to her room. As she ran up the stairs she bumped shoulders with none other than Mina Ashido.
"Woah there Yaomomo. Be a bit more careful running up the stairs." She warned her friend as she continued to skip down the stairs at a leisurely pace. Despite not having much time Mina really didn't care.
Unlike Momo who was zooming up the stairway faster than you'd expect from the elegant girl. She gave her hair a quick dry before throwing her blazer on.
And out the door she was. She gave a quick look at her phone and noticed that she somehow still had about a minute. As she ran, dust was picking up behind as Momo really didn't want to be late on her last week at UA.
Due to the speed of the girl and the amount of dust which followed her a rumour would be started by people who saw it. A rumour about a dust cloud appearing on days someone would get sick as three people sneezed upon seeing it.
She arrived at the classroom surprisingly she wasn't out of breath. Hero training really was paying off.
She stepped in and immediately saw Izuku. Her mind flashed back to that morning. (Once again) and her face went entirely red.
Something that the whole class picked up on. However, the glare she was getting from the podium quickly got rid of said embarrassment.
"Momo Yaoyorozu. You're late. Sit down."
He said with short breaks between every two words. Adding to the fear she felt.
She dashed to her seat and planted herself in it. Her fear subsided. She looked forward, seeing 2 people in front of her. However, her eyes seemed to pass through them and onto the verdant boy in the middle.
'Was this really the right choice?'
After class.
The bell had just rung. She stood up slowly and grabbed her bag as she did. She looked around and saw that some of her classmates had already rushed out the door.
Namely, Mina Ashdo, Tooru Hagakure and Denki Kaminari.
Her mind wandered once again. Plagued with thoughts of leaving and Izuku. She stepped forward and jumped out of her skin. Standing right in front of her was the teacher of Class 1-A. Shota Aizawa.
His raggedy hair reminded her of a homeless man. Despite being clean. "I need to talk with you." He said, his cold voice sending shivers down her spine.
He had been her teacher for almost half a year now. And she had gotten somewhat used to him. Until the final exams.
She was brutally reminded just how terrifying the man is. Thankfully she was able to overcome him in combat. But not mentally.
Seeing him angry made her and many others scared to their cores.
He began walking toward the door. So she followed. She looked behind her back into the classroom and saw a certain chest-nut-haired friend of hers staring at her.
The girl quickly looked away. Yaoyorozu thought that was a little bit weird but continued following her teacher regardless.
Aizawa and Yaoyorozu walked through the almost empty hallways. Barely any talking happened between the 2 of them.
The Pro-Hero stopped in front of a door. He opened it and stepped in. Yaoyorozu quickly followed.
She looked around and saw a yellow couch. On a table near the couch there was a coffee maker. Yaoyorozu made an accurate guess that this was Aizawa's favourite room.
He sat down in a normal seat and told her to sit on the couch. She didn't hesitate to do so.
Sitting down and looking into the dead eyes of her teacher. "I've noticed that you've been distracted lately. You were even late today." He said. His tone matched his tired face.
She stared at him.
'Of course he would notice. He isn't just my teacher. He's a Pro-Hero.' She thought. "It's nothing. I'm just tired." She lied through her teeth. It wasn't the first time she had lied to her teachers.
She had a similar problem in middle school. After her father got physical. So she was quite good at it despite hating doing so.
A long silence followed. He stared at her. No words coming from either of them. Then he stood up. And walked to the door.
He turned his head slightly toward the room. Side-eyeing her while he did so. "Go to Ground Gamma. An extra 40 minutes of training for lying."
He knew. Of course he knew.
It was his job to tell when someone was lying to him. Yet. He didn't pry.
A few minutes after he left. She walked out and toward Ground Gamma.
Once she arrived. Sounds of an engine and lightning flowing echoed around her.
She looked into one of the gyms nearby and saw Midoriya get kicked into a pillar made of concrete. Iida standing a few feet away.
"Stay light on your feet. You're too stiff." The boy said as he began revving his engine.
"YES SIR!" Midoriya shouted as he propped himself back on the ground. The lightning took over his body.
She could see it. He was so focused on his training. All she had done by asking him to marry her was get in his way.
She quickly walked away. Heading for Ground Gamma herself.
She needed to be by herself.
After her training.
She walked on the concrete toward her home.
Darkness surrounded her as she went.
She stepped toward the door. And heard from the other side. "I wanna know what happened between you two." Her pink classmate was pleading. She looked in and saw the entire class around Izuku.
She quickly realised what was happening. And she could see his face.
The difference between this and his "Hero Look" was massive. But she found it somewhat endearing.
She opened the door and drew attention to herself instantly. "We were on a run!" She let out a breath. "I tripped and fell onto him! That's all that happened!"
Once again. She lied. But this time not for herself. For someone else.
"Is that really ALLL that happened?" Mina shot toward her. If she didn't know any better. She would say the girl had some kind of speed quirk.
Walking toward the stairway. All the girls followed after them hoping to get Momo's opinion on it.
"Come on. You can't just not tell us the gossip." The invisible girl said. Her tone was a very small way off a plea.
"That's really all. We all know how Midoriya gets around girls." Momo said.
Mina and the other girls looked at each other. "D-do you think his joke was serious?" Kyoka said to the other girls. To which Hagakure started laughing.
The girls quickly broke away after that. Momo went up to her room.
Near the end of the night.
Momo walked down the stairs toward his room.
She needed to talk to him about this morning.
She turned the corner and saw his door swing open.
"Thanks Deku. I really needed that." A female voice said.
Without thinking, Yaoyorozu hid around the corner. Peeking her head out to see.
Her eyes watched Uraraka walk out of his room. A massive smile on her face as she went.
Her world went dark…
Hey everyone. I'm back. Sorry had a lot of trouble for a good while. But I'm back and continuing this. And my other series.
