Momo pov

How! How? How!? A plethora of questions rushed through my head. I thought the singing was great, i thought the acting was great. Yet i'm standing infront of the whole class whilst they applaud me and Todoroki for taking the mantle on the lead roles. Had my father made a call? Had Mina and Jirou blackmailed Iida into giving us this role? No, that seemed unlikely. If Mina had done that she would've swindled it so Jirou was Romeo, purely so we could kiss eachother and not hide it. Whatever (or whoever) it was presented as a miracle.
"Now can everyone please get to their stations! It's time to rerun!"
A chorus of groans left the crowd as they shuffled the props onto the stage and fixed the lights.
"Momo, Shoto. Your costumes are in the dressing room waiting for you." Uraraka grumbled and stormed to the catwalk. We both strolled to the room and pulled out the attire, changing into it. This whole thing felt amazing but a feeling of guilt loomed over me. It felt wrong that i was going to be kissing Todoroki with Jirou shoved to the side.
"Uhm, Todoroki?" i mustered up.
"Yeah," his monotone voice replied.
"I have something i need to tell you..."
Pausing for a moment he stood still.
"Go on."
"You see, with the kissing scenes..."
"No, i will not catch feelings. I'm aroace. Meaning i don't have romantic or sexual feelings for anyone."
"It's not about that, but go you anyhow!"
"Then what is it about?" he questioned.
"I'm, I'm.... currently dating Jirou. Secretly, may i add. And it'd be strange for her to watch me kiss someone other than her romantically without being able to do anything about it. So i'm not saying to not act well, but maybe just not look like you're enjoying it afterwards?"
"Although i don't feel like that with anyone i can sympathise with you two wanting to keep it a secret, though i don't really see why. You seem like a great couple."
"Well i don't know how people like Uraraka would treat me afterwards knowing i'm friends with and dating girls. It's just all.... really confusing me. One minute i want to scream it to the world, reliving the guilt of hiding it; though now i just want to burrow it away somwhere deep. It's not even like i'm ashamed of Jirou. I love her. Just that maybe dating a girl could damage my view from my family and peers."
Following my rant the room fell silent. My back was to him yet i felt his face soak up all i had to say in a comforting manner.
"Is that what it feels like? Okay then, that is fine by me. I won't act like i loved it and i will inform Jirou that i don't have any romantic intentions. It'll be perfect."
A sensation of weight being lifted off my shoulders filled my body.
"Thank you, Todoroki." i sighed.
"My pleasure Momo."

******short little time skippppppppp*******

We made our way around the backstage and into the door leading to the wings. Gently opening and closing it I scurried up to Jirou, Todoroki standing in the same spot running lines in his head. Resting her guitar on the floor she reached her arms around me, clasping me in a tight hug.
"I am so proud of you!" she cried, shaking my shoulders. A stupid smile was stuck on my face; just like the Sexy Drug moment.
"Thank you!" i replied.
"I'm going to kiss you now, is that okay?"
"Uhm," glancing around the only person remotely looking at us was Todoroki and Mina from across the room, of course. "Yeah."
Her lips layed on mine briefly and pulled back. She let me go.
"That's it," i whispered "We had enough outside of the auditorium."
"Fine, for now."
Letting me go she focused on Todoroki.
"So, uhm, are you happy about landing the role of Romeo?"
"Yeah, thank you. Oh and just to clarify any questions you might have, i am aroace and will not have any romantic attraction to your girlfriend if we kiss. We made a deal in the changing room. Every kiss i get she can give back to you when we're offstage and i'll cover you."
"Wow, Todoroki. That is very nice of you to do. Good for you on figuring out your orientation aswell." she responded, an impressed look on her face.
"It's fine, i try my best to symathise with couples." he fixed his mic on his costume.
"Todoroki, are you ready?"
"Yeah," he muttered.
Music thumped inside my stomach, making my hairs stand up. Jirou slung her guitar around her body.
"See you guys in a bit?" she asked.
"In a bit,"
Giving her hand a small squeeze we both rushed onto the stage, performing our lines.
