I was walking down the halls of UA alone, thinking to myself. When pondered on it was so strange how i ended up where i am right now. Starting off with a gut feeling that i don't fit in with my friends to being the lead in the musical, not to forget having a not-so-secret girlfriend. Which reminds me, i'm still in the closet- i've got to sort that out. How do you even go about coming out? Just walk down the road with a big sign saying 'I'm gay'? That's something i should ask Jirou about. I'm sure she'll know. As i drifted off in my own thoughts a door quickly opened and i was dragged inside by a hand.
"Oh my God!" i gasped in shock.
It appeared i was in a janitor's closet, jirou putting a finger up to my mouth, signalising for me to shut up.
"if we're about to make out then i would've switched into better clothes than what i have on right now," i whispered.
"huh?" she whispered back. "Anyways, i need to tell you something. yesterday toru said that she knew we were a couple, but when i asked her how she said she couldn't tell me,"
"what? that makes no sense?"
"i know! i think someone might've slipped when confronted with us going out,"
"oh no,"
i suddenly felt quite nauseous, quickly sitting down on a stack of toilet paper.
"this is bad, i'm not even out of the closet! Forget that, i don't even know what i'm in the closet for! God, i can't deal with this,"
"Hey, babe, it's gonna be okay,"
jirou stood next to me, gently rubbing my shoulder.
"toru likes you, i doubt she'll say anything,"
"What do we do?"
"Okay, let's find mina and kirishima. We're gonna meet up in his dorm to get things clear."

Me and momo rounded them both up, dragging them upstairs and making him unlock the door. we all filed in.
"Why are we here?" mina asked, frowning.
"something's happened, and we need your help." momo answered, peeking out of the door to check if any visitors were going to arrive.
I was collecting a few different items from around Kirishima's dorm, rummaging through drawers.
"Hey!" kiri yelled. "Be careful, i don't want everything to be messy!"
"Your room looks like a pigsty most of the time,
it wont make a difference."
I joined the others who were sitting on the floor, slamming a whiteboard in the middle of the circle along with 3 or 4 different coloured pens.
"Right, i think it's best if we explain." I sighed. "mina, you were there when I stood up to Uraraka, right?"
"Yeah," she nodded. "that was badass by the way,"
"thanks! Well, when i was in the bathroom hiding from her toru said that me and momo were a cute couple."
"She knows?" Kiri inquired.
"She's not meant to know,"
Momo's face looked solemn; she hadn't inputted yet and her gaze was stuck to the floor. I put my hand in her lap, letting her hold it and stroke my fingers.
"If the news gets out that we're dating things could go extremely south- i barley got away with Sexy Girl, so we're on thin ice. The last thing I want is for Momo to get outed, so we need to find a way to prevent the leak from turning into a flood."
"Well, where do we come into this equation?"
"You guys were the first two people to find out- therefore we trust you the most," Momo's small voice piped up, still looking at the floor.
"Here,"
Gently moving my hand from her grasp i grabbed a pen, drawing a big oval in the middle of the board. Scribbling the word 'MomoJirou'.
"We need to write down the whole of UA at the side of the board in black, then in red write those who know and those who don't in green. People who you're not sure on write in yellow."
"I'm sorry, can you repeat that? I wouldn't really consider us two as book smart,"
"Okay, just tell us who you think knows."

After half an hour of rubbing names off the board and categorising them in different spaces, they finally got a result.

"wow," kirishima gasped. "how do all of these people know? wait, BAKUGO knows?!"
"Yeah, how!" mina yelled.
"he caught us making out before theatre." i said, pinching the bridge of my nose. "that one, i'm not that proud of."
"he didn't tell me? oh my god, we could've gossiped about it!"
"Kiri, I guarantee you he doesn't want to gossip about our relationship to you," i replied. "great job guys, lets work more on it later."

It seems like they took that as their cue to leave. Standing up they both said their goodbyes, leaving me and momo by ourselves.

"Are you okay?" I asked, rubbing my thumb against her cheek.
"Yeah, yeah, I'm fine." she replied, looking away  to avoid eye contact.
"Momo, it'll all be fine, trust me. I mean, we've got two extremely intelligent friends with us. Can't you see how smart they are?"
That managed to make her laugh, even if it was a sympathetic chuckle.
"But, before you can see that everything will work out, you can cry if you want."
"I don't want you to see me cry."
"We've been dating for nearly two months. Believe me, I'll be over the moon too see that you like me enough to cry to. Just cause i don't do it alot doesn't mean you can't do it around me."

her hand grabbed my wrist, holding it still on her face. momo's eyes started to well with tears, so i carefully guided her head to my shoulder. She started to sob. Hard. Gently patting her back I listened to her sobs.

"I haven't even told my parents," she sniffled. "They're going to hate me,"
"Shh, shh, no they won't, they won't,"
"God, I can't go through this right now. I'm gonna start flunking my classes and, and-"
"You're going to be fine. you're a genius, momo. And i'm, well, me. We'll figure something out. Trust me."

Her head lifted up, her eyes puffy with tears. I wiped a tear away, pecking her on the cheek, watching her breathing slow down.

"It's all going to be okay."
