To Take A Walk

Izuku and Momo stepped out of the agency and into the crisp cloudy gloom of the city night, holding hands.

"U-Uh, next time we can intern with you and Todoroki, y-you know switch it up, going back and forth between agencies for patrols. I m-mean only if you want to, um how was Mirko? Not too bad I hope?" Izuku worriedly and curiously asked. He did want the hero he was interning with to approve of his girlfriend, but more because Rumi and Izuku had developed somewhat of a familial bond, 'She even goes on early morning jogs with my mom! She's basically family at this point, like All-Might!'

"Oh that's a thoughtful Darling but I believe how it went tonight is most ideal. I wouldn't want Todoroki to feel like a third wheel." Momo fixed her always loose strand of hair with her free hand as she gave Izuku a smile, explaining to Izuku how it could be seen as inconsiderate towards their friend, 'Besides Todoroki would just be a nuisance when it comes to spending time with my Izuku'

But she didn't need to tell her boyfriend that, instead keeping it to herself as she also kept her soft smile.

"Yeah, you have a point, besides it's better if it's just us, huh, l-like it has more sentiment, or something." He scratched his cheek as it grew a small blush after he admitted how he felt. 'I forgot how much I used to always dream of being a hero ever since everything happened but now that I'm doing it alongside Momo... I don't know, it's like I'm not the pillar of society to her.'

Momo's smile remained but her eyes widened after hearing his words. 'How is it that his words can mirror how I feel? Yet when he speaks them they sound so effortless and innocent but when I think them they feel shameful and impure...I don't know, it's like I'm not a looking glass to him.'

Momo held back a sniffle and blinked her bubbling eyes away before giggling and leaning on him as they walked down the sidewalk.

"Oh Sweety, I forgot to ask, where are we going for our date?"

"Hm, well it's just at the corner. You see that two-story Cafe?" He pointed at a homely lit building across the intersection. After Momo nodded and mentioned how the cozy atmosphere would be a perfect complement to the growing cold night, Izuku ruffled his hair with a chuckle. "Yeah, she usually likes to visit it before a patrol because of how close it is to our agency." And Momo assumed he was talking about Mirko.

"Oh that's right, you mentioned some concern about me meeting her, right? Well, don't worry Mirko is so amazing! We developed a workout program to get me in top physical shape while still being able to maintain the necessary amount of lipids for my quirk."

Izuku was a bit overwhelmed, he had assumed Momo's elegant and innocent personality would clash with Rumi's energetic and tough attitude, 'But it was the complete opposite! Oh God, what if she starts joining her and my mom during their morning workouts?!'

But the shine in her eyes got his attention as she continued to go in-depth on the conversation she had with Mirko such as calorie intake and how to increase her explosive movements by strengthening her quads and glutes with weightlifting squats.

Izuku hid his blush, trying not to think about his girlfriend building up a sweat as she toned her busty figure. He didn't know whether to thank Mirko for Momo's new workout plan or to curse Mineta for putting these types of thoughts in him. He mentally shook his head, focusing on his beaming girlfriend, giving her hand a little squeeze to get her attention.

She grew surprised cat eyes as she put her hand over her shocked lips. "Oh dear, d-did I just ramble like you tend to?"

They looked at each other for a moment before laughing as they crossed the intersection after the light changed.

"Anyways, remember on the train when you asked me to analyze you? B-But then I misinterpreted it a-and then we got sidetracked?"

Momo lifted her eyebrow but with some playfulness because of her boyfriend's nervousness, "You mean sidetracked, as in you and me becoming boyfriend and girlfriend." She added with her giggling sigh as they reached the other side of the street.

"Y-Yeah, well after that, I actually took the time to think about it and wrote some things down in my notebook, I m-mean if you're interested." He mentioned as they reached the cafe.

"Of course I am, Darling!" And her voice had chirp of the chime that rang when they entered through the doors.

They found a table on the second floor after they both ordered a hot chocolate because of how it resonated with the weather. Izuku was sitting across from Momo pulling out his notebook and when he opened it a note fell out just like the time there was a note when he went to get his umbrella.

"Huh?" He went to pick it up from the table, although confused it felt familiar as he read it.

'Izuku, I forgot to ask Yaomomo about the ball, - Mina.'

"Is all that it says... She could have at least apologized for invading my privacy!"

"What is it, Izuku?"

Izuku was caught off guard by being called by his name, lately, Momo had only been referring to him with cute nicknames such as Darling or Honey, so it was a bit jarring but he ignored it, it was probably something that was just settling in as their relationship developed but still...

"Ah, it's nothing. Mina is just wondering when is the upcoming ball, you know how impatient she gets." He answered as he flicked the note across the table to her.

"Yes indeed she can rather get that way, it doesn't help that we promised to go to the mall together." Momo mentioned as she fixed her loose strand of hair, observing the note. Yaoyorozu was getting a bit irritated with Ashido's overly friendliness towards Izuku, 'First the note in his locker now she's leaving them in his notebook. His personal notebook!' She had to stop herself from mentally spiraling because she knew it was rationally wrong to be upset towards a friendship that her boyfriend already had before they started dating, although...

"Unfortunately, I haven't got word about any upcoming formal events on the horizon, so I guess Ashido has to be just a bit more patient." And she added a giggle to make it seem sincere. She then tucked her strand of hair behind her ear as she leaned in, letting her ample bosom rest on the table. "But I did get a request from Uwabami, the hero I interned with alongside Kendo, during our first year, she wants me to help at a fashion show, and I was hoping you would come along,"

Momo had laced her words with enough sensual sighs but faltered as she finished her invite, turning from a seducing attempt into innocent infatuation,

"A-As m-my e-escort?"
