07. Gossip
(Todoroki POV.)
Once everyone had finished eating we leave the diner together. Bakugou and Kirishima head back to UA together while Momo and I head downtown towards the hospital.
"Am I dressed okay to meet your mother?" Momo asks me as we walk down the street.
I look over at her. I did dress her this morning... I'm pretty sure I did a good job... She's wearing a purple short sleeved v-neck shirt with a pair of dark jeans. "Do you not like what you're wearing? I think you look really pretty," I say, rubbing my neck. Maybe she doesn't like to wear simple things off campus.
Momo takes my hand and holds it in hers as we walk. "Really?" She asks.
"Of course. You're always so beautiful Momo. My mother won't care what you're wearing anyway, she'll be happy just to finally meet you."
"Finally meet me? What do you mean by that?" Momo asks.
I nervously scratch my cheek and avoid eye contact. "Well, I've told her all about my life at UA and she's asked if there are any girls I liked in my class..." I glance over to Momo who is smiling at me with bright eyes. "And I've told her about you... Quite a lot now that I think about it..."
(Yaoyorozu POV.)
Shouto is so adorable when he's embarrassed. His face is tinted pink and he's trying to hide it. "So I can expect a barrage of questions like with the girls at the dorm?" I ask.
Shouto focuses back on me as the hospital comes into view. "Not a barrage... That's not who she is. She'll most likely ask you some basic things about yourself..."
We enter the hospital and make our way to Shouto's mother's room. Shouto slides the door open and we walk in. His mother is sitting by the window waiting for us. She's so beautiful. She smiles at the two of us and has a surprised yet happy look on her face. "You must be Momo Yaoyorozu," she says as she stands to greet me properly. She bows her head. "I'm Rei Todoroki."
I bow. "Yes. It's very nice to meet you," I say.
I straighten back up as Shouto takes my hand. I can feel my face get hot with embarrassment. We've only been together one day so there's no way his mother would know we're a couple and yet he goes straight to holding my hand.
"So I take it you finally asked her out did you Shouto?" his mother asks with a smile.
Shouto nods. "Yes. I asked her last night if she'd be my girlfriend," he says, returning the smile.
His mother focuses her attention to me. "You're just as I had imagend from all the things Shouto has told me about you."
"What has he told you?" I nervously ask.
She sits on the edge of her bed. Shouto leads me to the chairs by the window and we take a seat. "He's told me that you're the number one student in the class and that you're the most beautiful woman he's seen. I thought he was exaggerating because he had a crush on you, but now I can see for myself just how pretty you are."
I look to Shouto who's face is extremely red. "Mom..." he says quietly.
"What? She's your girlfriend now. Aren't mothers supposed to embarrass their sons?" she replies with a chuckle.
I laugh along side her. Shouto turns away from the both of us, trying to hide his red face. "You're not supposed to gang up on me..." he mutters.
His mom reaches out and touches his knee. "It's okay Shouto. I'm done now. Why don't you tell me about yourself Yaoyorozu?" She says, turning her attention toward me.
(Todoroki POV.)
I didn't intend for us to visit my mom for so long. Momo and my mother talked for hours about the most random things. They left me out of the conversation most of the time, but I was okay with it. They got along just like I thought they would which made me happy.
"Thank you for having us," Momo says to my mother with a bow.
My mother bows back. "Thank you for coming to visit me. I trust you'll take good care of her right Shouto?" she asks, looking to me.
I smile. "Of course." I hug my mother. "I'll see you next weekend."
"Will you be coming next time too Yaoyorozu?"
"I'd love to. If it's okay with Shouto," Momo says.
I take her hand and lace our fingers together. "I'd love that."
We exit the hospital and head toward the train station. "That was really fun. I really enjoyed meeting your mother," Momo says.
"I knew you would. I'm glad we didn't end up switching at all with how long we were there for." I pull out my phone and check the time. "By the time we get back to the dorms it'll be almost dinner time."
"We should stop some place and pick up some food then. I'll buy this time," Momo suggests.
We stop at a fast food restaurant before the train station. We get our food to go and eat it on the ride back to UA. The moment we step into the dorms the other girls all rush us.
"Why didn't you ever text me back!?" Ashido yells at Momo.
"Yeah Momo what the hell? You and Todoroki totally ditched us last night," Jirou adds on.
I get pushed out of the way by the girls and separated from Momo. She gives me a sympathetic look before she gets dragged to the lounge. I sigh and pull out my phone. I send her a quick text before heading up to my room.
(Yaoyorozu POV.)
Jirou, Ashido, Hagakure, Asui, and Uraraka all pull me over to the lounge and sit me down. Last night my phone was blowing up with texts from them all and I didn't want to deal with it. Then today I was busy with Shouto and kept my phone on silent. I guess this is what I get for ignoring them... Out of the corner of my eye I see Shouto get in the elevator. I take out my phone and see that he sent me a message. I had fun with you today. You should spend tonight with your friends. I'll be back down after a little bit, I read. I get snapped back to the girls as Jirou pokes me with her earphone jack.
"Hey Momo. You can't ignore us anymore. You've gotta give us the details between you and Todoroki now," she says, taking my phone away.
"Hey," I grab my phone back and put it in my pocket. "Fine," I sigh. "What do you want to know?"
"First of all, why did you ditch us last night? And why didn't you text any of us back?" Ashido asks.
"Shouto was uncomfortable and wanted to be alone with me last night," I answer. "And I didn't text any of you back because you all left me like twenty messages each."
"Oooooo. Alone time," Hagakure beams. "What'd you two do?"
"Yeah! Did you guys make out alot!?" Ashido squeals. "I bet he's really good at it."
I tuck my hair behind me ear as I remeber back to last night. "Yeah... We did, and, he is..." I answer honestly.
The girls all squeal unbearably loudly, causing the guys in the kitchen to stare at us. "Damn girls. Calm down a little," Sero hollers to us.
"Sorry," I apologize. "Can we please try to keep the volume at an appropriate level?" I request of them.
"How can we!?" Ashido yells. "You're the second couple in our class! We did this with Hagakure and Ojirou remember!?"
"Ribbit. It's okay Momo. Mina should calm down after tonight as long as you give her enough gossip," Asui tells me.
"Tsu's right Momo," Uraraka adds. "We all want to know too. Not just Mina."
"Yeah, so spill. What's it like being with him?" Hagakure asks.
"Yeah. He's never really talkative or emotional around anyone. What's he like when you were suckin' face?" Jirou asks.
I can feel my face heating up. "Well, Shouto is quite reserved around everyone, but when we're alone he's more open and, loving..."
Once again the girls all squeal. "GOD DAMMIT! SHUT THE FUCK UP IN THERE!" Bakugou shouts from across the room.
"Sorry!" Uraraka yells back.
"Fucking loud ass girls," I hear Bakugou complain.
"So how far have you gone with him?" Jirou asks me.
"How far? We've only been together a day," I reply.
"So just kissing? You haven't done anything else?" Ashido pries.
I shake my head. "Nope..."
"Are you sure? You look like you're hiding something. Ribbit."
I can't let them find out I've been Shouto and I've seen his bare body with his own eyes... Now I remember why I didn't want to talk to them... "There's really nothing else to tell..." I state.
"You're not keeping the saucy stuff to yourself are you?" Jirou asks.
"What? There is no saucy stuff," I reply.
"Hey. What are you girls talking about?"
We all look back and see Sero, Kaminari, Ojirou, and Mineta. "We're trying to pry information out of Momo," Ashido replies.
"Information? Like what?" Ojirou asks. The guys all sit down on the other end of the couch. Jirou wraps her arm around my shoulder and grins to them. "Momo here bagged Todoroki and she's being stingy on the juicy stuff."
"Really? About time right?" Sero says, nudging Ojirou with his elbow.
"Right? I heard about it last night," Kaminari says.
"What!? Yaoyorozu is taken by that cold hearted show off!?" Mineta complains.
"Dude calm down. You never had a chance with her anyway," Sero tells him.
"Yeah. Everyone knows she's had a thing for Todoroki for awhile," Kaminari says.
"What? Everyone knew?" I ask.
"Well duh. It was kinda obvious," Hagakure replies.
"Hmm... That's kind of embarrassing..."
"Yeah but you and Icy Hot are a thing now," Jirou chuckles.
"Yeah. Okay Bakugou," I say to her.
"You need something?"
I turn my head and see Bakugou standing behind the couch. "Oh. No. Sorry."
"Are you all done gossiping yet? I'm getting tired of hearing it," Bakugou says, walking around the couch and taking a seat on one of the chairs by the TV.
"If you don't want to hear it then why don't you go hang out somewhere else," Jirou tells him.
"I don't have a TV in my room and I wanna watch it! SO PIPE DOWN!" he shouts.
I chuckle at his outburst, when suddenly I'm no longer in the lounge. Oh no... Of course it happened now. Water is hitting me in the face. I suddenly realize that Shouto was in the middle of showering. "Oh no..." I look down at his strong, wet body then quickly avert my gaze from looking further down. I shut the water off and step out, grabbing a towel and wrapping it around his waist. "Why now? Why?" I complain.
I walk out of his bathroom and into his room. I go to his dresser and pull some clothes out. I remove the towel and use his quirk to dry off. The fire quickly evaporates the water. I pull on a pair of boxers then step into a pair of gym pants. I grab a blank white T-shirt and pull it on. "I hope Shouto is okay... I should text Bakugou and Kirishima to let them know we switched."
(Todoroki POV.)
Dammit... This sucks... I was almost done with my shower and now all of a sudden I'm in Momo's body. I'm sitting on the couch with Jirou on my left and Ashido on my right. Sero, Ojirou, Kaminari, Mineta, Uraraka, Asui, and Hagakure are all also here looking my way. Bakugou is also here, but he's watching TV. What the hell were they talking about? Was Momo in the middle if saying something? I hope they didn't notice anything strange.
"So Yaoyorozu," Sero starts to say, "were you the one to ask him out or did Todoroki finally do it?"
I see. They're still on about all this... I've got to try and act like Momo. "Shouto asked me out last night," I reply, trying my best to mimic her.
"Yeah? I'm kinda surprised you hadn't gone ahead and asked him before."
"Right? I didn't think Todoroki would be so bold."
"I doubt he even knew she liked him. He probably just took a risk."
They're not wrong. If it wasn't for that guy's quirk and us being forced into this situation I probably wouldn't have had the courage to ask her out. I sit quietly as the others talk about me and Momo.
Jirou pokes my side with her earphone jack. "Hey. You okay Momo?"
"Hmm? Oh. I'm fine. Just had a long day is all," I reply.
"Really? What'd you and Todoroki do?" Uraraka asks.
"Yeah. Neither of you were here this morning when we all got up. Ribbit."
"You spent the whole day together?" Ashido asks.
"Well... Yeah, kinda... Shouto visits his mom on the weekends when he can and he took me with him to meet her," I tell them.
"YOU MET HIS MOM ALREADY!?" Ashido yells.
Everyone winces and covers their ears. Bakugou shoots up out of his chair with explosions going off in his hands. "DAMMIT! KNOCK IT OFF ALREADY!" he shouts. "Why don't you all give her a fucking break!? Isn't there anything else you fucking sidekicks can talk about!?"
"Geez... Calm down Bakugou," Kaminari tells him.
"Shut the FUCK up Pikachu!"
"Man I don't need this."
"Me neither. I'm gonna go work out."
"I'm gonna go see if Shouji wants to chill.."
Sero, Ojirou, and Kaminari get up and leave due to Bakugou's outburst. Bakugou glares down at Mineta who is still sitting on the couch. "Got anything to say Gumball?" he growls.
Mineta shakes his head. "No. I'm fine hanging out with all the girls. Even if Hagakure and Yaoyorozu are taken the others aren't," he says. Bakugou is still glaring but tilts his head at his comment. "And even if Yaoyorozu is taken I can still look. Todoroki isn't here to stop me."
That little scumbag. Jirou puts her arm in front of me, blocking Momo's body from Mineta. "Todoroki doesn't need to be here to protect her from you. The six of us are more than enough to kick your ass," she says to him.
"Oh yeah? I think I'd enjoy that."
Bakugou grabs Mineta by his shirt and lifts him into the air. He holds his hand close to his face and lets off a small explosion. "Yeah? How about I kick your ass first?" he growls.
Mineta's face instantly changes. "Okay. I get it."
Bakugou throws him over the couch with a small explosion. "Now get the hell out of here you rotten grape!" Mineta scurries up the stairs, disappearing from sight. Bakugou huffs and sits back down to watch his show.
"Wow Bakugou. That was really nice of you. Ribbit."
"Yeah. Didn't expect that from you," Uraraka says.
Bakugou clicks his tongue as a response. "Is it just me or is anyone else kinda attracted to him right now," I hear Ashido whisper. I grin at her comment. If they only knew...
"Yo! What was all the yelling about?" I hear Kirishima ask.
Kirishima and Momo in my body, come over to where we're at. Kirishima sits on the adjacent couch, while Ashido scoots over for Momo to sit beside me. "Where have you been Todoroki?" Jirou asks her.
Momo sits beside me. "Well you all kind of ambushed us and pushed me out of the way. I thought I'd let you have her while I took a shower," she answers. She puts her arm around my shoulders. "How are you doing?" she asks me. "Anything happen?"
"Well Mineta was just being, well, Mineta. Then Bakugou nearly blew him up," Uraraka tells her.
"That guy never knows when to be chill," Kirishima sighs. "You didn't hurt him did ya Bakugou?"
"Course not," he replies without turning away from the TV. "I'll save that for our training next week."
"Yeah? Why the sudden interest in beating up Mineta?" Ashido questions.
"He's an annoying little assrag who needs to get knocked around a bit. And I'm getting sick and tired of his constant perverted behavior," Bakugou answers.
"Said like a true man," Kirishima states with a smile.
"Mineta didn't do anything to you did he?" Momo asks me.
I shake my head. "No. He was just being inconsiderate like normal."
"Well now that Todoroki has joined us, how about we let them be for now," Jirou tells the other girls.
"Awe but I wanna talk more about their relationship," Ashido whines.
"You'll have plenty of time for that later," Uraraka tells her. "Why don't we go out and get some food?"
"Sounds like fun!" Hagakure beams.
"I could eat. Ribbit. Do any of you want to join us?" Asui offers.
"No. We ate just before coming back," Momo tells them.
"Nah. I'm good. I haven't worked up my appetite yet," Kirishima says.
"I couldn't think of anything worse than hanging out with a bunch of highschool girls," Bakugou grumbles.
"Suit yourselves," Jirou says. "I'll text ya later Momo. And you had better answer me back this time."
"Uh... Yeah. I will," I say, confused by her statement.
Jirou looks to Momo. "You play nice with her Todoroki. Otherwise you'll have to answer to me."
"Of course," Momo replies.
The girls all get up and leave the dorm. I sigh and lean my head against Momo. "I don't understand why you girls like to talk about all this stuff," I complain.
"Yeah what's up with that?" Kirishima asks. "Why do they like to gossip so much?"
Momo shrugs. "Just a natural thing that girls do I suppose. It is rather enjoyable to discuss details of other's lives from time to time. And girls love to hear about romance."
Bakugou scoffs. "Whatever. At least with them all gone I can finally hear the TV." Bakugou slides off the chair and scoots over near Kirishima, sitting on the floor by his leg. "Why do we keep getting stuck hanging out with you two dunces recently?" Bakugou says, glaring our way.
"Well, since we know, you don't have to fully hide anything," Momo replies.
Kirishima looks around then sets his hand on Bakugou's head and starts stroking his hair. "I like that you know. There's not any weird pressure or annoying questions from you guys," Kirishima says.
Bakugou slaps Kirishima's hand away. "Knock it off. Someone could come in at anytime you moron," he grumbles.
Momo rubs my arm with her thumb as we watch the news with Bakugou and Kirishima. "I'm sorry about the girls," she says.
"It's okay. I'm sorry about the shower..."
"What? Shower?" Kirishima hears us.
"It's nothing..." I say.
"Half n Half must've been in the shower when they switched," Bakugou says with a grin. "So what's it like suddenly having a dick Big Boobs?"
"Just shut up Bakugou," I growl at him.
Kirishima slaps Bakugou on the head. "Don't be like that," he scolds him.
"Fine... How about you Icy Hot? Having boobs that big annoying?"
"They're... Weird..." I state.
"Weird?" Momo asks.
"Well, yeah. How do you do anything with these things getting in the way?"
"Guess I'm used to it."
"It's still weird..." I shut my eyes as I keep my head on her shoulder.
"Shouto... Are you tired?" I hear Momo ask me.
"Kinda... But I don't want to leave you just yet."
Momo moves her arm and pulls me down so my head is resting on her lap. "Momo..."
"Shut your eyes and rest. I'm not going anywhere."
(Yaoyorozu POV.)
Shouto closes his eyes and lays peacefully in my lap. "Is it weird to constantly be looking at yourself?" Kirishima asks me.
"Yes. It's very strange, but just knowing it's Shouto makes me be okay with it. If it was anyone else I don't know how I'd feel," I reply.
Kirishima rubs his neck as he looks back to the TV. "I don't know if I could handle being in Katsuki's body without anyone knowing a difference. And I know for sure he couldn't pull off being me."
"You don't think I could be you?" Bakugou grumbles.
"Hell no. You're too crabby all the time and have an explosive personality," Kirishima replies.
"I agree. There's no way you could pull off being Kirishima, Bakugou," I tell him.
Bakugou is silent as a commercial comes on. "Yeah well... I wouldn't wanna be him anyway.."
"You wouldn't? What's wrong with being me?"
"If I was you then I couldn't hold you in my arms..." Bakugou mutters.
I watch as Kirishima leans over and wraps his arms around Bakugou's neck, giving him a large hug. "Awe Katsuki!"
"Hey get off me shark toothed bastard!" Bakugou tries to pry Kirishima off of him but Kirishima ends up falling forward on top of him.
I dart my eyes around the room, making sure there's nobody coming our way. I look back down to the guys and see them kissing. I clear my throat. "You forget where you are?" I ask.
Kirishima pulls away from Bakugou with a red face. "Sorry!" He quickly jumps off of Bakugou and sits back on the couch.
Bakugou sits up and leans against the couch again. "Sorry about that," Bakugou says to me.
"It's okay. I get it."
"Yeah but you're relationship is known and you don't have to worry about others," Bakugou says.
"You know Bakugou, nobody will judge you guys. Everyone here is cool with stuff like this," I say, gesturing to him and Kirishima.
"That's not what I care about. I don't give a fuck what people think about our sexuality. I just don't want to have to deal with them all questioning us or acting differently to us." He shifts in his spot. "I know most of you don't like me that much, and everyone is friends with Kirishima. I don't want them to think poorly of him for being with me or for them to think I treat him badly..."
"Bakugou..." I can understand his feelings, but I don't think that at all about their relationship. "Well, you've got friend's in me and Shouto. And when you're ready to bring your relationship into the light we'll be willing to help you deflect any negative comments from the others."
Kirishima smiles big. "Thanks Yaoyorozu."
Bakugou focuses back on the TV as the news comes on. "Good to know..." he grumbles.
Shouto opens his eyes. He sits up and yawns. "What time is it?" he asks.
I take his phone out. "About six."
"Mmm. Do you want to stay here and watch TV?" he asks.
"Well, we should probably go over the basics of my quirk. Tomorrow we'll have to do the same if we're like this still," I tell him.
Shouto sighs. "Okay. Should we go to your room then?" he asks.
"Yes. I have several books in there that you'll need to read."
"Good luck Icy Hot. You won't be having any fun tonight," Bakugou says with a smirk.
