wings (MomoxJirou Fanfic)

understudy

sorry for not posting a new chapter in a while, period pains are getting me good <\3

Momo pov

The hallway was deserted as i walked along with Jirou. There was an eerie silence between us- but i don't know if it's comfortable or awkward.
"Are you okay?" i murmur.
She clutched a monster in her hand, the sound of her rings clanking against the metal. Taking the last few sips she shook her head.
"Yeah," she replied and tossed it in the bin.
"I'm, yet again, sorry to hear about your insomnia,"
"Please, it's fine." she snorted. Turning to me her face looked more animated than before, but the dark circles under her eyes were covered with eyeshadow.
"Don't worry about me,"
"It's just that-"
My speech was interrupted as i was grabbed by my shirt and pulled into a kiss. A long kiss. One that was packed with meaning other than to shut me up. My eyes widened in shock. Her lips gently pressed into mine. As they peeled off i let out a gasp.
"That's better," her voice whispered, letting me go.
"You, you can't do that in public! What if someone saw?!"
"Then so be it." she shrugged "I'm starting to get a bit tired of hiding- what if someone steals you from me?" Then what will we do?"
"True, true" i replied, weighing out the pros and cons. Sure, it'll be a relief to not hide anymore yet if Uraraka finds out she'll wreak havoc onto Jirou's life. I feel like i'm in a chess game with my father all over again. Every move i make is a punch in the dark to whatever plan the opponent is conjuring up.
"I'd say no, they don't have to interrogate me on why i've rejected them."
"That's nice to know," she smiled "I love the fact you love me."
"I do love you."
Quickly glancing round she turned back to me, our faces close.
"Before we go in, one last kiss?"
"Don't ask next time."
I shoved my face into hers and slowly kissed her. She gently nipped my bottom lip, asking for an entry. Obliging i let out a little gap inbetween my lips. Her tounge slid in and ran along my teeth, filling my body with joy.
"Excuse me?" a voice asked.
Breaking apart from the kiss i could see Bakugo standing infront of us, tapping his foot on the floor.
"You're blocking the doorway lovebirds."
Nervously laughing we both shuffled out of his way and let him through.
"Oh, and don't worry. I swing that way too."
He put a hand on Jirou's shoulder.
"Good job by the way."
The door opened and closed, leaving me and Jirou in confusion. He didn't even raise his voice at us or show any sign of anger.
"Kiri must work wonders." she scoffed and held the door open for me. We went our seperate ways to our friends and sat down on the cold, black stage. Bright lights shone down on us which made my eyes squint.
"There you are!" Mina whispered into my ear. "What were you doing?"
"Well, Bakugo knows about us now." i smiled.

Jirou pov

I slid up to Denki and Kirishima and sat down.
"Hi Jirou!" Denki beamed and waved at me. "What took you so long?"
I paused, hesitating my reply. I could tell him but i don't know what his reaction would be. Would he scream in happiness? Would he scream in fear? Would he scream just because? It is Denki afterall- the last prediction seems likely.
"I was, kissing Momo." i mumbled, poking my jacks together. He gasped. Loudly.
"She's gay?!" he whisper shouted in shock. His eyes darted to her in disbelief. "Ohhhh, good job!"
"You should see her neck from last night!" Kiri gushed.
"Jirou gave her hickeys?!"
"Yeah, alot. I had to help her put makeup on and oh my....  She looked like she was attacked by some sort of vampire or, or  mugged in the street."
His mouth was left adjacent at thoughts of me leaving the prettiest girl in 1A covered in hickeys. It actually made me proud that i managed to score someone as gorgeous as Momo. My face cracked into a smile as his hand reached out for a high-five.
"How many more people know?"
"Uhm Kiri, Mina and you now. Oh and also Bakugo."
Kirishima raised an eyebrow when Bakugo's name cropped up.
"Bakugo knows? How?"
"He sort of.... caught us making out before we went in."
Denki and Kiri snorted and started laughing at the thought of Bakugo standing with his arms folded and waiting to get past as i kissed a girl.
"Way to go Jirou. You really-"
"HELLO 1A!" Iida's voice announced through the microphone. "Thank you for taking time out of your undoubtedly busy weekend to help work on the play! Now, it has occurred to me that we've been slipping up alot with our acting, mainly the lead girl and boy vocals. And I regret to inform you that we are going to have to switch out the role of Juiliett and Romeo with their understudies."
A loud cry sounded from the left side of the stage. Hmmmm, wonder who that could be.
"Now could the two understudies make their way to the front of the stage please."
And then it hit me.
Momo is the Juiliett understudy.
A wave of pride washed over me as she gracefully stood up and walked towards Iida. She was blushing and waving at all of us. Waving at me.
"Thank you Momo Yaoyorozu and Shoto Todoroki. It will be a pleasure to have you acting, but i hope you've learnt your lines."
Still beaming she nodded at him, thanking him profusely. We all clapped and cheered for them as they stood infront of everyone.
"Your girlfriend looks so happy!" Denki told me, still cheering extra loud for Momo.
"Mhmm!" i replied, waving at her. She waved back and mouthed something to me.
I'm so happy!
I think she said. But she didn't have to tell me that. Her face grinned from ear to ear and the pink on her cheeks could illuminate a dark room. Finally, finally that bitch Uraraka got what was coming her way.
