Several Months Ago…

Theta Library - U.A. University

U.A.'s sole library on the main campus, has three floors, all accompanied by fully set up computer labs and study rooms for small groups. On the first floor, something else was happening. An onyx-haired girl rushed through the library doors, disdain clear on her face, and muttered sorry after bumping into an upperclassman. One could tell she wasn't in the mood, she made her to a free table, sat down, and slammed a book on the table, startling a few people.

"You seem to be in good spirits… Momo." drawled a purple-haired girl who was reading a book.

"... am I that obvious, Kyoka?" Momo asked, still miffed. The now-named Kyoka nodded carefully. The former softly sighed.

"Do you mind me asking what exactly happened?" Kyoka asked.

"... the latest in a string of bad dates," Momo said, explaining. "He wasn't a bad person per se but…"

"But…" Kyoka added, motioning for her to go on.

"We did not connect. I'm sure he will make another girl happy but we were better off not seeing each other after that," Momo finished. Putting her face in her hands, she mumbled, "Is there something wrong with me or is it the people I attract?"

Kyoka patted her on the back while absorbing what Momo said. In her eyes, she was a kind girl but she was a bit naive. In an instant, an idea flashed in her mind. She wasn't too sure if Momo was going to be receptive but it didn't hurt to try.

"Yaomomo," Kyoka said, interrupting Momo's thoughts. "There might be a solution to your problems."

Momo perked up a bit, now curious as to what Kyo-

"Friends with benefits."

.

.

.

"What?" Momo questioned, eyebrow raised too. "Friends… with benefits?"

"With the string of bad dates you had, it might be better to step back from dating and just have fun," Kyoka said. "Before you say anything, think about our situation. Classes and Heroics back-to-back, that doesn't leave much time for dating, let alone long-term relationships."

Momo wants to say something, raising her finger up to counter-argue… but nothing came out of her mouth. Thinking back, this entire year didn't leave room to relax, it was either heroics training in the gym or off-campus. The increasing coursework added didn't help matters either.

"Kyoka… you stumped me. You stumped me for the first time," she responded.

"You may be Class Representative but you have needs like everyone. On top of that, it's better than being pent up all the time."

Momo pursed her lips, getting the implications of what her friend said.

' Kyoka might be onto something. A friend with benefits would work out. No attachment. Being discreet. More importantly, we can still be friends after, ' The black-haired girl thought. ' … Kyoka, I made up my mind. '

"I believe the idea of friends with benefits might be better for me," Momo stated without hesitation. Kyoka's eyes briefly widened a bit, shocked that her friend, Miss-Prim-and-Proper, accepted that easily.

"Who are you and what have you done with Yaomomo?" deadpanned Kyoka.

"Oh, she's not as formal as you like to think," Momo answered back. "The bigger question is this, who'd fit the role of the friend ?" Emphasis on the last parts.

"It's much easier to list off people who you don't want," Kyoka added, twirling her jack.

"Mineta is an instant no for reasons that would take an entire day to go through," Momo responded with a bit of bite.

"Bakugo?"

"Too volatile. Singleminded focus on hero work. He's out."

"Sato."

"Not a good conversationalist to be honest with you," Momo answered.

"Shoji."

"Same reasons for Sato."

"Hmm… valid point. What about Todoroki?"

"He's too closed off and he doesn't seem to be the type that wants to be in a relationship," Momo added.

Kyoka clicked her lips, conceding to her. "What about Sero? He seems dependable."

"I'm sorry, who?" Momo asked, confused. Kyoka's eyebrows raised, mouthing ouch .

"Iida."

"No. He wouldn't, he's too uptight and formal, even for me," Momo answered. Kyoka was surprised by that answer but had to agree.

"Midoriya?"

"He's cute but like Bakugo, he's too focused on heroics. So pass on him."

"Ojiro?"

"Not too much in common and a little too plain for me," Momo answered quickly. Kyoka sighed, conceding.

"Aoyama?"

"No. It wouldn't work between us, too focused on showboating," she said, nodding her head too.

"Kirishima?"

"Isn't he with someone already?" Momo answered. "... I believe it was Tokage from 1-B. Ashido didn't seem that broken up about it."

"Tokoyami?"

"A definite disconnect. I can handle only a bit of darkness," she said. "If anything, he'd be more of a fit for Yanagi of 1-B."

"Koda?"

"He is too innocent, so he's out."

"The only one left is..." Kyoka paused. "Oh, god. Kaminari."

"Wait, he might have what I'm looking for," Momo said, raising her hand up. Kyoka eyed her a bit, motioning her to explain.

"He's easy on the eyes, likely knows how to be discreet, and most importantly, likely looking for casual fun," Momo explained. Kyoka, on the other hand, wanted to counter that. However, nothing came out. The former did pick up on it.

"Don't tell me you disagree with my assessment, Kyoka," Momo said, crossing her arms.

"I… don't… it's just why him?" Kyoka said, getting the words out.

"It's because of him being friends with Mineta? I understand that but Kaminari by himself isn't that bad. In fact, he knows when to stop. My mind's made up. I'll offer this to him once classes are done for the day. Speaking of which… World Literature's next?"

Kyoka nodded yes and checked the time, "Oh, we got ten minutes before class starts." Both girls packed up their things for their next class which would be at another building, Hall Beta. One thought was going through the purple-haired girl's head as they exited the library.

'If Jamming-Whey makes Momo cry, I'm breaking his legs. In more than one place.'

Hall Beta - Cementoss's Classroom - Room B121

Momo and Kyoka were the first ones there as always, taking their seats, and looking over a few notes from last week's assignment, something on The Count of Monte Cristo. The violet-haired girl now heard more footsteps as the time counted down to class starting. The last one was Kaminari who took a seat near the right corner. Momo took this chance to walk up to the electric boy and ask the following question.

"Kaminari," she asked, getting his attention.

"Oh, what's up, Yaomomo?"

"Are you free after this?" She asked, getting his attention.

"Yes… I mean, this is our last class for the day," he answered, wondering where Momo was going with this.

"It's better that I explain in a more private setting."

Kaminari shrugged and said alright to it. As soon as Momo made it to her seat, Cementoss came in and took roll call. In fact, class would begin right now…

Heights Alliance

Denki walked alongside Momo to the Common Room, specifically on the couch which was in front of the TV set. As soon as they plopped down, Denki started off.

"So what did you want to talk to me about?"

Momo inhaled before saying a thing. In her mind, it was better to be blunt with someone like Denki.

"I have a proposal, do you mind being friends with benefits with me?"

Denki sputtered, wondering if he had shocked his brain too many times.

"Uh… do you mind repeating that?" He asked, wanting to know if it was true.

"Friends with benefits, Kaminari? Is it-" she said before Denki interjected.

"Oh… oh. You're serious about this." Kaminari said, realizing Momo wasn't joking.

Momo blinked and said, "Of course, I'm serious. Did you ever take me for someone who jests?"

"Uh… no. In fact, would you blame me… for thinking… you were, uh…" Denki paused. "... I don't know, above that sort of thing?" Momo noticed the uneasiness on her classmate's part.

"... I wouldn't put it past you. I do have a lofty image. However, I am still young and even ones from backgrounds such as mine still have needs and desires," Momo responded, hopefully ridding some of Denki's uneasiness.

The boy clicked his tongue, conceding to her point. "So… why me though?" He added.

"I gave the matter a good deal of thought. In conclusion, you were the best possible candidate. You're handsome to look at, able to be discreet, and most of all, you're open to something casual."

Denki didn't say a thing due to being red by some of Momo's compliments. The fact that she was 100% truthful didn't help either. The onyx-haired girl noticed it too, but smiled, knowing the effect her compliments had on him.

"Do… you mind letting me think about this?" Denki managed to get out.

"Certainly, I realize that this is rather sudden. However, the direct approach was the best one in this case," she said in a matter-of-fact tone.

Denki nodded and went up to the restroom to gather his thoughts. Washing his face up, he exhaled as he examined the situation.

' Momo Yaoyorozu just offered you to become her friend with benefits. Don't fuck this up, Denki. Do not fuck up a golden opportunity here… I'm gonna work the charm and it will be smooth sailing from here… '

As soon as Kaminari finished his line of thought, he inhaled, knowing what his answer to Momo would be.

"Okay… okay… why is this harder than it needs to be," Denki says to himself. "It's nothing serious," he said to himself like a mantra. After one deep breath, he exited the bathroom and walked directly toward Momo.

"Your answer?" Momo asked.

"I do accept," Kaminari said with a small grin. However, a small bombshell came from his lips.

"So… what exactly do we do now? Do we even start?" He asked, a bit unsure.

"Right now, if you're not doing anything else at the moment. I had a bad date not too long ago, an utter disappointment, and ended without making out. It was so frustrating and I would like to wash that experience out of my mouth."

Denki straightened up a bit upon hearing that, saying "You move quite fast, don't you?"

"I never do things by half. If I commit to something, it will be full commitment," Momo responded.

"My room or yours?" Denki said with some seriousness. Momo perked up at that, taking a moment to think.

"My room, my bed has more than enough room for two," Momo said without hesitation. With that, she led Denki upstairs to her room.

"I'm still surprised you accepted the idea of friends with benefits that quickly though," Denki said while he was walking alongside Momo. He wanted to make some small talk before doing the deed. In reality, he was nervous about this, and his first time will be with Yaoyorozu of all people! The Class Beauty of 1-A!

"S-So h-how was your week?" sputtered Kaminari.

"It was… normal," Momo answered curtly. "Who am I kidding? It was busy but that horrible date. Ugh… I don't want to talk about him. He was just so closed off."

"O-oh, that's terrible, Yaomomo," replied Denki. He needed to play this smoothly, this was Momo of all people!

"I just want to forget all about him," Momo said, cringing at the memory of it. Kaminari sighed a bit, needing to change topics to keep her in a good mood.

"Well, think about it like this. After tonight, he'll be erased from your mind," the boy said, trying to sound smooth. Momo chuckled softly at his attempts, causing Denki to stumble a bit. However, Momo regained his attention, motioning that they have arrived at her room.

"Ladies first," piped up Kaminari, opening the door. Momo nodded and let herself inside. Denki was close to having second thoughts but shoved that down as he walked through the door.

"Oh, close the door if you don't mind," Momo requested. Denki immediately closed it and locked it, the last thing he needs is a surprise walk-in. As the door clicked, another thought came into his head.

' Wait, this is gonna happen. '

"Anything the matter, Denki?" asked Momo. "We can-"

"No, nothing's the matter," Denki replied, trying to reassure himself. "I'm ready for this." Kaminari came close to Momo, putting his fingers around the right side of her head, albeit awkwardly. He planted his lips on her, also placing his other hand around her waist. However, some intrusive thoughts were seeping through...

' I never went farther than first base since high school… ' but Denki ignored that thought as he deepened the kiss. Momo responded by placing her hands around his back, keeping him close. She broke apart briefly, letting him catch his breath.

"Any regrets?"

Denki answered by kissing her again but Momo took dominance by pushing him onto the bed. As she positioned herself, both slowly took their clothes off, shirts first, and pants were thrown to the side. Denki wasn't gonna back out and neither would Momo. The last thing Denki sees before everything becomes a blur was Momo's bare chest.

AN: This will be a shorter story in comparison to Hokuto Academia, clocking about 10 to 15 chapters at the very least.
