"Alright, that's enough for today. There's only one week until the final exams. You're all studying properly, right?" Aizawa asked looking at his class that looked at him nervously. "Remember, there's a written and a practical. Be sure to train your mind and body. That's all." Aizawa said before leaving the classroom.
"I haven't studied at all!" Denki and Mina yelled at the same time, with the pink girl laughing while the electric Quirk user held his head down in defeat.
"With everything that's happened...this test will be extremely difficult." Fumikage with a hint of nervousness in his voice.
"Ashido! Kaminari! Let's do our best! We all want to go to the training camp after all!" The two turned around to see Izuku smiling at them.
"Yes! As class rep, I also have high hopes that you'll all be moved to action!" Tenya yelled raising his hand.
"It's pretty hard to fail if you just pay attention in class." Shoto said looking at the two.
"Be careful with your words!" Denki yelled falling to his knees and clutching his heart.
"You two, I may be able to be of assistance with the class lectures." Momo said catching the two's attention.
"Yao-momo!"
"I can't help at all with the practical, though..." Momo said hanging her head in shame. Hayato smiled at the sight and walked over to rub her back.
"That's on them, but we're all pretty capable at practicals." Hayato said while Mina looked at the two of them suspiciously.
"I'm not one of those two, but can I join, too? I'm having trouble with Quadratic Functions." Kyoka said walking up to them.
"Huh?"
"Sorry, me too! How good are you with classical Japanese?" Hanta asked placing his hands together.
"Eh?"
"Me too...there's a bunch of stuff I don't get..." Mashirao said joining in.
"Please!" The three yelled making Momo cover her mouth from shock.
"Everyone!" Momo then jumped out of her seat making Hayato step to the side to avoid being hit by her chair. "Yes, of course!"
"All right!"
"Then, let us hold a study session at my residence this weekend!" Momo yelled happily closing her eyes and placing her hands together.
"Seriously? I can't wait to see your house!" Mina yelled as she imagined the mansion the vice representative of the class must live in.
"Oh, in that case, I must tell Mother and have her open up the hall!" Momo yelled feeling her heart begin to race from excitement.
'Hall?' Denki and Kyoka thought as they froze up hearing her say that.
"What kind of tea are you all partial to? In my family, we always drink Harrod's or Wedgwood, so if you have any preference, let me know! Of course, you can trust me to help you study, too!" Momo yelled proudly while the five students looked at her in shock. She then turned around to face her boyfriend who was taken by surprise as well. "And Hayato, you must join in as well!" Ochaco, Izuku, and Hayato all tensed up as she grabbed his hands and pulled him close to her.
"But I don't need to-"
"Mother would love if you came by for a visit!" Mina snapped out of her trance and looked at the two closely while Hayato tried getting Momo to snap out of it.
"Momo, I don't think..."
"As my boyfriend, it should go without question that you must join us!" Now everyone in class snapped out of their trances and looked at the two in shock while Hayato's jaw dropped from shock. "Well?"
"M-Momo..."
"Yes?"
"You just let the secret out." Hayato said making Momo blink a few times before she realized what she had just said.
"Oh dear!"
"As your what?!" All of Class 1-A yelled, especially Mina who stomped over to them and angry pointed at both of them.
"How long has this been a thing?! Why have you not told us?! Talk! Now!" Mina yelled while both blushed from embarrassment.
"Well, now I learned that my girlfriend loses control of what she says when she gets excited." Hayato said as he and Momo were having lunch at Lunch Rush's eatery with Izuku and Ochaco.
"I'm so sorry, Hayato!" Momo apologized grabbing one of her boyfriend's hands with both of hers. Hayato moved his gaze from his food to her and then back to his food before using his chopsticks to grab noodles from his ramen. "I was just so in the moment and I saw the chance to invite you over finally and-" Momo was cut off by Hayato placing the noodles in her mouth and patting the top of her head.
"That'll do, sweetie, that'll do." Momo looked down at her lunch in embarrassment before Hayato placed a hand on her leg. "I'm not mad."
"Ashido was pretty scary." Izuku said as he placed a piece of Pork Cutlet in his mouth, now deciding against telling the class about his own relationship as well.
"Mina was so mad...talk about freaky." Ochaco said as she thought the same thing. "Maybe we shouldn't tell them about us either."
"Good idea." Izuku said nodding before Hayato kicked him, very hard, in the shin. "Ow! Hayato!"
"If we're out there in the open now, so are you two." Hayato said pointing at the two with his chopsticks.
"B-But...Ashido..."
"Is just one girl. We looked at two villains in the eyes and we fought them willingly, if you're afraid of a girl then you're just ridiculous." Hayato said rolling his eyes.
"What about that girl you dated in junior high? You were really-" Hayato's eyes widened and he kicked Izuku again while Momo raised her eyebrows with interest.
"Oh? What's that about an ex of yours?"
"Nothing! Izuku has no idea what he's talking about!" Hayato yelled before filling his mouth with as many noodles and as much broth as possible. But then he felt his body and heart suddenly grow weak again and he put his utensils down to take deep breaths.
"Hayato! Are you okay?" The three asked as he put his head down to get his strength back.
"I...I...m...f...ine.." Hayato let out between breaths before clenching his heart tighter and tighter. Izuku's eyes widened as he realized what was happening and quickly stood up to help his best friend stand up.
"I'm gonna take him to Recovery Girl!"
"Your muscles are having uncontrollable spasms. It came from overuse of your Quirk." Recovery Girl said as she took a seat next to Hayato in the infirmary.
"But that was a while ago, why is it still happening to him?" Izuku asked making Recovery Girl sigh.
"It's that darn phasing ability he discovered in that fight." The two looked at her surprised.
"But, I had the time and food to get back the energy I used from phasing."
"Yes, but it's not that case for you." Recovery Girl said before walking over to her desk and grabbing a tablet from it. She walked back and handed it to him, pressing a play button making a video begin. "You see, I ran a quick test and it looks like your cells got so excited from phasing: they're still moving like they do when you're barely using your power. Your moment of feeling weak is because your body is eating up your minerals without you even doing anything."
"And my heart?"
"Your heart has it worse, it's being forced to work harder than it should. I really think you shouldn't use your Quirk at all for a while. If you give your body a break then your cells will get the idea and calm down." Recovery Girl said making Hayato's eyes widen.
"Then you should stay away from Yaoyorozu then." Izuku said with a slight chuckle.
"Ah, young love." Recovery Girl said making Hayato blush.
"L-love?! No, no, no, it's not like that." Hayato said waving his hands in the air.
"Okay then, whatever you say."
"Uncontrollable spasms? That sounds pretty bad." Momo said as Hayato told her about what Recovery Girl had told him after school.
"Like you wouldn't believe. My body is using my power without me even using my power, that's why I have those random moments like today at lunch." Hayato explained before an idea popped in his head. He fell down to one knee and began to breathe heavily making Momo cover her mouth.
"Hayato! Come on, stand up! Maybe Recovery Girl is still in the-" Momo knelt down to help him up only for Hayato to start laughing and pull her down under him.
"Got you." Hayato laughed making Momo slap him.
"That's not funny!"
"It's kinda funny." Hayato yelled before placing a hand on Momo's cheek. "Revenge for this morning."
"I said I was sorry!"
"Yeah, yeah."
"So, do you know what you're gonna do about the final exams?" Izuku asked as he and Hayato sat in their bedroom doing their homework.
"We have three days of written exams and then one of practicals, we have a week until then. I should be good to go." Hayato responded as he finished his math homework. He looked up noticing the silence from his best friend and chuckled. "What's the matter? Ochaco bit your tongue?"
"What if your heart stops during the practical?" Hayato sighed and put his pen down before standing up.
"It won't."
"How are you so sure?" Izuku asked before Hayato grabbed him by the collar and stood him up.
"Aren't you the same idiot who shattered his arm and legs to get into U.A? We've come a long way in these past few months, I just won't push myself until I have to. Time is limited, remember?" Izuku nodded hesitantly. "If I stop to take a break right now, then I'll just be wasting time. So do me a favor and stop being such a wet noodle, like right now."
"Hey." Hayato said as he greeted his five classmates in front of the Yaoyorozu home. They all greeted him while Mina looked at him with interest.
"You look pretty laid back." Mina said as she noted he was only wearing a white t-shirt with a pair of yellow shorts. "You expecting to stay longer than us?"
"Huh?" He looked down and noticed his outfit before laughing from embarrassment. "I overslept and all I had clean were my workout clothes."
"Uh huh...suuuuure."
"Wow, thanks."
"I mean, you scored the hottest girl in class. You should be proud, dude!" Denki said as Hayato walked up to the nearby intercom.
"I guess? I don't really care if she's the hottest." Hayato said before pressing a button under the speaker. Then, almost immediately, he jumped back hearing Momo's voice come from the speaker.
"Good morning! I'm glad you all finally arrived! Come in, come in!" The gate in front of the six opened and they all walked onto the Yaoyorozu property, marveling at the size of it. The reached the mansion belonging to the family to see Momo waiting at the door, wearing a yellow t-shirt and a pair of white shorts. "Hello, everyone!"
"Good morning, Yao-momo!"
"Momo...is that my t-shirt?" Hayato asked as he noticed how the shirt seemed big on the girl. He looked closely and noticed three holes on the side of it, recognizing the shirt as his. "Hey! That is my shirt!"
"Yes! Last time I was over I accidentally spilled some tea on my shirt, Midoriya was kind enough to offer this one to me. And look, we're almost matching!" Momo said happily walking over and grabbing Hayato's hand before leading him and the others inside.
'She was NOT like this a week ago.' Hayato thought to himself before turning to his friends and spinning his finger next to his head. The others began to snicker making Momo turn around confused as to why they were laughing.
"What's so funny?"
"Nothing! Just that you two look so adorable, but that it's clear who wears the pants between you guys." Mina said confusing Momo further.
"But we're both wearing shorts."
"It's not our place to ask, but why did you guys keep it hidden?" Hanta asked making Hayato sigh.
"She was afraid of her mom finding out and then forcing us to split. So we kept it secret until she felt like she was ready to tell her, if she approved then we would tell you guys." Hayato explained as they passed a portrait of Ichigo on the wall.
"And did you?" Mashirao asked making Hayato and Momo shake their heads.
"Well...not the way we wanted to. We had a bit of a tender moment that night Izuku and I fought Blitz. Her mom saw it and we had no choice but to come clean."
"But my mother approved of him for now. He still needs to prove himself to her." Momo said before reaching a tall pair of doors. She opened them and revealed a dining hall with a large table in the middle. "Please, have a seat while Hayato and I go get the tea and snacks." Momo said as the five walked in and awkwardly sat down at the end of the table. "Now come, mother is waiting for us in the kitchen." Momo said before pulling Hayato by his arm again.
'You were SO not like this last week.' Hayato thought as they made their way through the hallway to the nearby kitchen to see Ichigo and an older man wearing a suit preparing a cart full of teacups and a teapot. "H-Hello, Ichigo." Hayato said making his presence known to the woman.
"Hello, Kiryuu. How are you?"
"F-Fine, ma'am." Hayato said bowing to her. 'Shit! I'm blowing this right now.'
"It's okay to relax a bit, son. If you make my Momo welcome whenever she visits your home, I don't see why you should feel unwelcome in ours." Ichigo said making Hayato smile and walk over to her. "I simply need you to cut this cake into six slices."
"Got it." Hayato said as he looked at the strawberry cake in front of him and used a nearby knife to cut six pieces out of the cake and onto the plates nearby. "Anything else?"
"Well, now that you're here. I'd like to know more about you." Ichigo said motioning for Momo and the older man to leave the kitchen.
"W-Well, tell me what you want to know. My family life? My medical history? My favorite color? Go ahead and ask."
"Oh, no need. Momo told me all of that on day one. Your broken family and current living situation, your dangerous quirk, and how you can never decide on white or yellow so you tend to mix them with two or more articles of clothing." Ichigo said as she walked over to the other side of the counter, intimidating Hayato further with each word she spoke. "But I want to know your dreams. If you see a future with my daughter. What your plans with her are."
"Um...if I'm being honest-"
"But just know that if I don't like any of your answers: I will have no problem in ending what you two have and set her up with someone more deserving of her." Ichigo said as she cut herself a slice of cake and poured herself a cup of tea. "Well? I'm waiting."
"If I'm being honest about the dream part, I don't really have any dreams. I just tend to focus on whatever goal I have set in the moment."
"Such as?"
"Well right now, staying in good standing with you and passing my final exams so that I can go to the U.A. Training Camp with my best friend and your daughter."
"I see. And about the future with my daughter?" Hayato let out a deep breath and tried keeping his composure.
"I really do, but the future I see with her really depends on whether you'll let us stay together."
"And what is it you want with her?"
"I just want to make her happy, make her feel loved and cared about every day we're together. I know you adults might call this the honeymoon phase, but I still want to keep this level of happiness with her after we pass our first month next week, if we make it to a year, if we even get close to making it official for the rest of our lives. Our relationship isn't perfect, but I want us to enjoy it more than anything." Ichigo hid her smile behind the cup of tea before taking a sip of it. She raised her shirt sleeve and formed a black watch. "What's that?"
"Momo told me about your issue. This is an electronic heart monitor, it'll measure your heart rates and the moment your muscles begin to spasm: it'll alarm you to do what it takes to stop them." Ichigo said grabbing the watch and wrapping it around Hayato's wrist.
"This is-"
"And not just that, this is a special gift from Momo as well. She spent the past week learning the materials support companies use to make their hero suits. This is Breakneck, suit two." Ichigo reached down and pulled out a black suitcase before placing it in front of Hayato. He hesitantly opened it to see a white costume, similar to his original one. He studied it closely and noticed how the material instead of feeling similar to leather, it felt similar to cloth along with other changes compared to his original design.
"This is really...wow this is incredible."
"She said it has the strength of kevlar, and it allows your body to breath better along with it being extremely resistant to heat. She made this suit to protect you even more, even if it doesn't look like it." Ichigo said as she placed a strawberry in her mouth. "She really cares about you, will you let her down?"
"No, of course not."
"Oh, welcome home!" Ochaco said as she poked her head into the hallway to see Hayato entering the Midoriya residence that night.
"Hey, unofficial sister-in-law. What you guys doing?" Hayato asked before seeing the mess of notebooks on the floor that Izuku frantically tried picking up. "And this is why two teenagers should not be left home alone. Just promise me my bed is clean." Hayato said making both of them blush heavily.
"I-It's not like that! He accidentally flipped his bookbag upside down and all of his books went flying out!" Ochaco yelled while Hayato made his way to his and Izuku's bedroom.
"Just promise me you used protection and I'll believe that!" Hayato yelled as he closed the door.
"I-Is he always so perverted?" Ochaco asked making Izuku sigh and nod.
"He's probably just needing to return to his old self after probably spending all day like a gentleman. And Hayato is absolutely not a gentleman." Izuku said as he grabbed his empty bookbag and placed all of his notebooks inside.
"With someone like Yao-momo, he should definitely learn."
"But, we shouldn't sell him short. We don't know what's going to happen for the practical next week so it's better we let him be his weird little perverted self. Especially since he has my back when I need him." Izuku said before hearing his stomach growl. "I guess it's dinnertime."
"Then let's cook something up, we've been studying hard all day." Ochaco said before an idea popped into her head. "Go ask him if he ate already."
"I don't see why I should-" Ochaco grabbed Izuku and pushed him towards the room, cutting him off. Izuku sighed and walked into the room, his eyes widening in amazement as Hayato was now wearing his new costume. "That looks so awesome!"
"It's so much better than the last one." Hayato said as he put on his new gloves that were now white with gold lines running across them. He slid on his boots that followed the same color scheme with a gold line around the ankles. He reached behind his head and put on his new mask, which was similar to his original cowl except now it was completely white and covered the top half of his head with his eyes now covered by golden lenses. "I feel like it's right out of a comic book."
"The support company really outdid themselves!" Izuku yelled as Ochaco popped her head into the room and lit up seeing Hayato's new costume.
"Awesome!"
"The support company didn't make it. It was Momo." Hayato said taking off his mask and smiled at the two. "She made this suit to protect me from someone like Blitz."
"That's incredible!"
"That's so adorable!" Ochaco yelled as Hayato began to remove the costume. "Did you eat?"
"No."
"Well, come help us make dinner and you can join us." Ochaco said smiling at the two.
The rest of the weekend zoomed by for all of Class 1-A. The three days of written exams arrived and each day felt harder and harder as they worked as hard as they possibly could.
"Pencils down. The last person in the row will collect each exam and bring them forward." Aizawa announced bringing their third day of exams to a close. The class let out deep sighs of relief as Momo, Shoto, Hitoshi, and Ochaco stood up and collected the exams for their respective rows. He grabbed the stack of papers and left the room, making Mina and Denki jump up from joy.
"Thank you, Yao-momo!" The two yelled running up to her.
"I-It was nothing, really."
"I might not have understood everything but at least I left nothing blank!" Denki yelled making Momo smile and nod at him.
"Do you see what happens when you study?"
"I'm amazed you and Kiryuu even studied." Hitoshi said catching Hayato's attention. "I scored higher than him on the midterm and he was single back then, you probably sucked some of his knowledge out now that you two are together."
"Jealous, Shinso? I think I might've scored better than you this time." Hayato said walking over to Momo's side and planting a kiss on the side of her head. Izuku and Ochaco looked at each other, both blushing heavily before standing up.
"I uh...we um...Uraraka and I have something to say." Izuku said walking over to Ochaco's seat and grabbing her hand.
"Deku and I are...boyfriend is my Deku. I mean Deku is my girlfriend! I mean...I'm trying to say that Deku and I are a couple!" Ochaco yelled surprising their classmates, save for the other couple in the class who smiled at them as she made their relationship public. "That day we went on that double date, that was the day we decided to become an item."
"No way!" Mina yelled happily while Tenya smiled at the two.
"You two are a good match for each other, and I'm glad you both waited until an important occasion such as our final exams were over to come clean." Tenya said placing a hand on both of their shoulders. "However! I hope this will not affect your practical exams tomorrow!"
"Deku and round face are a thing?" Katsuki said with his face cringing from disgust. He walked to the door before turning his attention to Izuku. "Deku. You better not hold back and fail tomorrow. I will fucking kill you if you do." Katsuki said before walking out and slamming the door shut.
"Why didn't you two come clean when they did?" Kyoka asked pointing to Hayato and Momo.
"We were really focused on studying and we figured it just wasn't the right time yet." Izuku explained making the majority of the class nod.
"Make sure you take care of Uraraka, Midoriya. It wouldn't be manly if you hurt her." Eijiro said happily crossing his arms.
"Like this cuddly bunny could ever think about hurting me. He doesn't keep any secrets from me." Ochaco said squeezing Izuku's cheeks.
"Yeah, I don't." Izuku said hiding his guilt behind a fake smile.
