The Way You've Changed Me ~ [TodoMomo Story]

Chapter 16

"That was enjoyable." Todoroki said, walking alongside Momo to the car. 

The female beside him laughed. "You mean fun?" She asked with a smirk on her face.

Todoroki glanced to her with a dull expression that could only be described as dry. But you could see he had the faintest of smiles on his face. "Yes. Fun." He spoke in a soft tone, opening the car door as he said that.

Momo walked around to the other side quickly and entered the car, sliding in her feet and in the car and closing her car door with a 'thud' behind her. They both fastened their seatbelts and Todoroki started the car up, the engine revving to life with a loud roar. 

"Todoroki, I have a question."

"Okay."

"What are we?"

Todoroki froze at those words—almost literally—and forgot to answer. Once he had gained up the mental strength to actually reply, no answer that he could give her came to mind. His mind was free and there was nothing right now that could stop him from saying anything, but he just couldn't find out his own answer. 

He didn't even know what they were. 

So how was he supposed to give her an answer?

"I don't know."

That answer didn't surprise her even in the slightest. "I get that." Momo said, looking down at her lap and watching the shadows move across her skirt. "We kissed, and... I visited your mom, and I guess we went on a date? W-"

She was quickly cut off when Todoroki grabbed onto the arm that was closest to him and pulled her to him, kissing her with a fierce passion that surprised her. Momo moved her hands up to the back of his head and tangled her hands in his red and white hair, pulling him closer.

Todoroki continued to kiss her and tilted his head just slightly to the side. 

He didn't know what they were. 

That was something that he knew for sure. 

But he did know that this just felt right. 

Momo loosened her grip from his hair and parted their lips with little space separating them. She flicked her eyes down to his lips and looked back up to his eyes. They were staring right back at her. 

"I like you."

They both looked at each other with surprise as they said the exact same words at the same time. Todoroki let out a little chuckle and rested his forehead on hers. 

Momo smiled. "Would you want to go on a date? On Saturday, perhaps?" She asked with a little edge in her tone, closing her eyes. 

"Yeah. I'd love that." Todoroki said, watching as her eyes fluttered open to meet his. 

Perfect.

There was an angry pound on the door that interrupted the sweet moment that they were having, making them turn around in confusion. An angry Natsuo was right near the car window, his fist banging on the door with a furious look on his face. 

"I knew that you guys were dating!" Natsuo yelled from the other side of the car door, watching as Momo's face flushed and Todoroki stared at him with a plain look on his face. 

Momo tapped his shoulder with her hand and pulled his head towards her mouth. "Hurry. Drive." She whispered in a hasty tone, gritting her teeth. Todoroki immediately nodded and started up the car, and not hesitating to drive away from his siblings at once. 

"Dammit, Shoto!" Natsuo yelled, the figures getting smaller as the car sped away from them. 

Momo stifled a laugh as he looked towards the back of the car, watching as Natsuo tried to run on the sidewalk to catch up to them but failing to be fast enough. "Oh my gosh, your brother is crazy!" She laughed, watching at Fuyumi stopped beside him. 

Todoroki smiled wider at her laugh. "Yeah." He said, starting to slow down once they approached a red light at an intersection. "My brother had always been on me for getting a girlfriend." 

The female turned her head back and looked at Todoroki's face. "You look really cute when you smile, you know?" She asked.

His hand was resting on the gear stick and moving it around harshly, controlling the gears. Momo reached her hand out but then flinched wondering and contemplating in her head if she should hold his hand. 

Is it too early for that?

Momo slowly rested her hand on his left hand, the warmth radiating off his hand making her cold hand immediately warm. Todoroki spared a second to glance down at her hand, resting atop his. 

He liked it. 

Momo clutched her hand around his as he controlled the gears on the car, trying to focus on the road but veering to the side every so often. 

This just... feels right.
