My Maid on a date!
The crisp night air was breezing along.
Izuku and Momo were both blushing, thinking about the fact that they had accidentally stumbled onto a date. They left his apartment complex, walking on the sidewalk.
"Um, there's a supermarket around the corner." Izuku mentioned trying to be nonchalant. 'Oh my god, what are we doing?! I'm walking around with a cute girl and she's wearing my sweater. Yup, this definitely looks like a date! And even though we never said it outright, we kind of planned to have dinner together! Calm down, Izuku Midoriya, you're just overthinking it like you always do, I'm sure Yaoyorozu doesn't see it that way, right?' He gave her a casual smile ruffling the back of his hair, not trying to show his mental struggle.
"Oh, that sounds great. We'll be having dinner before you know it." Yaoyorozu returned his casual smile but it was that closed-eye smile without the tilt of the head she would usually add. 'I insisted to come along with him?! How could I insist, what's wrong with me? I'm even wearing his sweater!.. Ah, but it's so warm and it smells like him.' Maid Momo's eyes widened, realizing what she thinking regarding her Master. Her cheeks flushed as she took a gentle inhale through her nostrils, enjoying the moment next to Izuku. 'I'm probably overthinking like I always do... Although, Midoriya does like it when I tease him, right?'
For once, they knew they weren't overthinking it. They were both just too shy to admit it to the other and to themselves.
"...Thanks for the sweater..." And her voice came out as a beloved sigh. She snuggled into it, having blushing thoughts about him.
"You're welcome." Izuku turned his head to her, taking a glimpse of her face. And he had to catch his breath. The city lights were shining around them. Her cheekbones had a pink bloom that had also spread to her nose, and the rest of her face was a radiant pale, illuminating her blush, and it plucked at his heartstrings because of the endearing smile she had as she inhaled the scent of his sweater.
She felt his eyes on her, so she turned her face to him, with a tilt of her head, innocently batting her eyelashes at him. "Is something the matter?"
He had turned his head forward before their eyes met, nervously scratching his cheek as the blush crept up, now feeling her stare on him. "N-No, it's just y-you look... You look..." And he couldn't finish his sentence because of the curious kitten orbs unabashedly staring at him.
But once Momo figured out that Izuku was trying to give her a compliment, her eyes widened and she turned her head forward, looking down. She was getting used to teasing him and enjoyed his embarrassed expressions, yet it was completely different if he was going out of his way to notice and compliment her. All she could reply with was her own lack of words. "... Oh."
"Y-Yeah..."
"...Y-Yes."
They both dared to sneak a glance at each other. Their eyes locked for a moment before they snapped away at the same time. Then they realized that they were both embarrassed because of the other. It started off small but they started to laugh at how silly they were being. She covered her mouth with her hand while he facepalmed.
After their laughter died down, she tucked her loose strand of hair aside as he scratched his cheek, the both of them sharing a smile as they reached the store.
As they stepped inside the store, the atmosphere changed almost instantly due to the bustling people running their errands. They were no longer sharing an intimate walk, but neither seemed to mind, although they did notice the change.
It was a good thing they lived in a quirk society because people didn't seem to pay much attention to Yaoyorozu's neko ears and tail as they assumed it was a part of her quirk. Although the keen observer did realize they were just aesthetics, but still didn't care, considering it was natural to see people with an assortment of accessories due to the fact that superheroes were a common thing, meaning the weird was the new norm. Also, the sweater covered the maid outfit, so that helps too.
"All right, let's get started!" Momo huffed up her chest as if getting ready to do a side quest while Izuku was the companion npc as he got the shopping basket.
They were walking with Momo picking out everything as Izuku just followed her around, holding out the basket for her as she dropped items in.
"Here, we need this."
"Okay,"
"Ooh, and this."
"Sure,"
"This as well."
"Why not,"
"We can't forget this!"
"I am running out of ways to say yes."
"Can we also get this?!"
Master simply held out the basket, not responding anymore, just letting her get anything she wanted.
It started with Momo getting the things they needed to prepare dinner but by the end, she was getting her favorite snacks that went well with tea.
"I guess I went a bit overboard. I apolog-,"
"No, it's fine, we need dessert too, right?" Izuku interrupted her with a chuckle as he shook his head, telling her not to worry about being excited.
She let out a small giggle at his approval. "We have everything we need. Is there anything else?" She was tapping her finger to her lips in thought, "Midoriya do you need any other supplies?"
Izuku rose his free hand to his chin in thought. "I guess I should get some body wash before I run out,"
They started to walk away from the food area heading to the hygiene side which was located at a corner which meant they were going through an aisle of pet supplies. They were both casually looking around at the products, but then Izuku suddenly stopped, having spotted it.
Yaoyorozu took a few more steps before realizing he had stopped. She turned to him, then followed his gaze, also spotting it.
It was a collar with a bell.
Upon seeing it her neko ears twitched. She then returned her wide eyes to Izuku. He had a tinge of innocent pink on his cheeks and was mumbling to himself incoherently. She grew amused half-lidded eyes at an idea. She snuck up next to him,
And whispered it into his ear.
"Ara, ara, what could you possibly be thinking about... Master." Letting out the last word in a sensual sigh.
His eyes bursted wide as his face erupted red. "Eh? Eh! EH?!" Izuku stumbled back from Momo in an embarrassed panic, he was fumbling out of the isle without realizing it.
"M-Midoriya! Look out!" Yaoyorozu tried to warn but had to wince when he crashed into someone. Although to Izuku's credit, he didn't spill the grocery basket. 'I guess I overdid it again, oops.'
"Ow, ow, s-sorry, I wasn't looking at where-,"
"Watch where you're going next time you damn nerd!"
Both Deku's and Yaoyorozu's eyes grew hearing his obnoxious voice.
"Kacchan! Wh-What are you doing here?!" Izuku shot to his feet as he offered his hand to Bakugo but he declined getting up on his own.
"The same thing as you, Idiot!" Kacchan barked reminding him that they lived in the same neighborhood as he showed Deku the shopping basket in his hand. Also to Kacchan's credit, he didn't spill anything either.
"Ah, haha. Y-Yeah, that makes sense." He laughed off casually but then he remembered that Yaoyorozu was behind him.
And Bakugo was looking at her with blank eyes of disbelief. Naturally from their panic, Izuku and Momo made their shocked noises.
"Hiee!"
"Eeip!"
Izuku spread his arms apart trying to block his view but it was too late. Bakugo had seen her neko ears and his eye twitched when her tail did. Without thinking, Izuku just blurted out,
"I-I'm just helping her out with cosplay!" And the problem was that once Izuku starts he can't stop. "Yaoyorozu and I are secret cosplay fans, well I mean it's pretty obvious with me because of how much I love hero costumes, b-but she is and wanted my advice on designs! There's an expo coming up soon and we want to get our cosplays ready by th-." Thankfully he was interrupted.
Yaoyorozu had tapped his shoulder as she tried to hide behind him and said, "Master, you're rambling again."
Izuku froze in a cringe. 'But... But why did she have to call me that in front of Kacchan?!'
Kacchan, himself, still had those blank unbelieving eyes with a stunned expression. Obviously, he didn't buy Deku's lame excuse, especially because they were in a supermarket and also their shopping basket only had food in it. To Bakugo it looked like they were on a date, but that didn't explain the neko stuff or why she called Deku her master, unless it was one of their fetishes... and at that point, he didn't want to find out.
"Nope." Was all he muttered. Instead of trying to understand or care, Bakugo could only turn around and start to walk away, pretending he didn't see anything. Before he was out of view, Kacchan looked at them one more time with those same confused blank eyes, he shook his head, and left.
They both let out a sigh of relief when he was gone. He rubbed the back of his neck, trying to relieve some stress, "C'mon, Yaoyorozu, let's go pay for everything and get out of here. Don't worry Kacchan isn't the type to blab about this stuff but I don't think he wants to run into us again and neither do I,"
"Oh, okay, but what about your body wash?"
"Don't worry about that." Izuku waved off as they began to head for the cashier area. Izuku refused to go back down the pet aisle just to reach the hygiene products. 'I don't know what's worse; That Yaoyorozu thinks I was having perverted thoughts and she was okay with it, even going as far as to tease me, or the fact that I wasn't thinking anything perverted at all. In fact, I would be more embarrassed if Yaoyorozu found out what I was really thinking!'
When Izuku spotted the collar with a bell, he thought of the roof when Momo fell asleep besides him like a kitten. And it made him picture what she would look like as an actual kitten. She would have black fur, with a white puffy chest, an adorable pink nose, her right ear would have an elegant flop to it, acting like her loose strand of hair, and her tail would have that fluttering spiral like her ponytail. That's what caused Izuku to blush, as he was thinking about taking care of Neko-Momo.
And that was when Momo had whispered into his ear, causing him to stumble into Kacchan.
'I'd rather she think I was a pervert than tell her the truth!'
His thoughts were interrupted, feeling a soft hand brush against his. "Here, let me help you." She spoke as she took the shopping basket from his hand, holding it with both her hands, as she usually does for her school bag.
"Oh, thanks, Yaoyorozu," He turned his head to her, giving her a smile of appreciation.
She shook her head in a gentle giggle. Her bosom heaved up and down as she inhaled and exhaled. She gave him a closed-eye smile with that tilt of her head and she spoke with her sighing voice,
"Let's go have dinner, ne?"
