Momo pov

I had been quite for most of the week after i found out about the leak- i won't say that i was sulking, but i kinda was. After all, i'm really not ready to come out yet. And when i am, i want to do it at my own pace, and not get brutally shoved through the doors. Jirou had noticed, i could tell. She tried her best to lift my spirits, and sometimes she did succeed. But nothing seemed to consistently work. the worry took over my hobbies, so i've spent alot of my free time studying and doing homework in either mine or jirou's room. Atleast through this tense week my work has gotten even better than it was before. All of my friends apart from mina haven't seen me as often- i spent free time and lunch distanced away from people who could possibly know. I doubt they noticed, as i wasn't that flamboyant to begin with. At the start i didn't sleep in jirou's room in fear that someone would walk in on us, but that fad ended as i reached the thursday mark. It was now the tuesday after that, so you can say i've been mourning for longer than necessary. I was sat at jirou's desk, doing next week's homework as she walked in, making me dart my eyes to the door.
"Hey,"
"Hi," i replied, continuing my writing.
"Mina and Kiri are coming in, is that okay?"
"Yeah, sure."
The pair walked inside, giving me a worried glance. Raising my eyebrow at them i dropped my pencil, twirling the spinny chair in their direction.
"Are you guys okay?"
"We've got an idea to propose," Jirou stated, standing with them.
"We've tried all week to find out how the slip happened, and so far we've gotten nothing," Kirishima explained. "Bakugo offered to intimidate everyone to spill what they knew, but i assumed you'd prefer the incognito style."
"tell him i said thank you," i nodded.
"So, as we were stuck, we brainstormed a plan." Mina joined in. "I coined it the 'Closet Repair Committee Blueprint' but they thought that was stupid,"
"We're proposing two options," Jirou said. "you can either come out soon, you pick the time that feels right and we'll work things out from then.
"Or?"
"Or you can use plan B." Kiri answered. "Which involves todoroki. We don't know what that exactly means, but jirou said you'd understand if we called it plan kiss."
I looked at Jirou in confusion. All she did was nod in reply.
"I understand," I responded, biting down on my tongue. "I need to go and find him."

Jirou pov

I was walking down the hall with a determind momo, shoving my hands in my hoodie pockets. i tried to keep up with her rapid pace, but that prover difficult.
"God, momo, i can't keep up with your long legs!" i chuckled. "are you feeling okay?"
"Yeah, i'm fine. how come?"
"I was just checking. Are you sure you don't want to do plan a?"
"Yes,"
"Are you sure? because-"
"Your completely cool with this, aren't you?" she asked me, looking straight ahead.
"Yeah, it was my idea. Why?"
"Because I know you will have to pull me out of that closet by my ankles if you want me to come out yet. My reputation and how other people see me is something i can't afford to damage, and deep down i know that if i open that closet door i'll fall flat on my face. Todoroki is my one ticket out of this mess, and i cannot afford to lose it."

i fell silent as i watched her walk away, stopping to turn around once more. Her face was straight- i felt like making a joke about how she wasn't straight, but  now equipped with my new skill to read a room i could tell that wasn't appopriate.

"I'll meet your dorm afterwards, okay?"
"Yep," i sighed, studying her march her way into the auditorium.

God, why had i blown up in jirou's face like that? I've been constantly stressed it's starting to make me lash out at everyone. i didn't know where todoroki would be, but after thinking on it i could tell he'd be practicing his lines somewhere. And boom. From the very back of the auditorium i saw him pace the stage, quietly reading from a white sheet of paper. I slowly walked down the aisle, calling out to him.
"Todoroki?" I asked. "Can i speak to you?"
"Yes, you can. But next time announce yourself, please. I nearly froze my script."
"Sorry,"
Lifting myself onto the edge of the stage he sat down next to me, dangling his feet off the ledge.
"Your a good actor, aren't you?"
"It depends on who you ask. According to uraraka i'm terrible. How come, anyways?"
"I need your help. Are you fully out of the closet?"
"No, you an jirou are the only people who know."
"Well neither am i. But somewhow someone i know who i haven't told know/think i'm dating jirou,"
"Are you not?"
"I am, but i don't want people to know yet. Which is where you come into play. Todoroki, please can you pretend to be my boyfriend? I'll give you anything in return, i swear."
"Sure."
"Sure?"
"Your a very nice girl, Momo. And i don't want to see you get outed. I also want to strengthen my acting skills, plus i'm not exactly ready either. I'll pretend to be your boyfriend."
"Oh my God, thank you so much!" I exclaimed, not knowing what to do. "I-I don't know how to react!"
"You can hug me, if you want- that'd be good practice."
Leaning over and wrapping my arms around his chest he slowly patted my arm in return, waiting for me to pull back.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you!"
"It's my pleasure,"
"When does it become official?"
"I'll make it a surprise, then it'd be believable."
"Great!" I nodded, scrambling to my feet and rushing out of the auditorium. "Thanks again!"

I stood over my desk, reading through momo's homework. How was it harder than mine? Didn't we all get set the same stuff? Before i could think harder about it someone came bursting through my bedroom door, jumping up and down in happiness.
"He said yes!" momo cheered.
"He said yes?"
"Yes!"
"Oh my God, that's great!" i grinned.
She leapt forward and tightly hugged me, her body feeling warmer than before.
"When are you guys officially dating?"
"I don't know, he said he was going to do it when i wasn't going to see it coming, so it's more authentic."
"Perfect!"
"God, jirou, im so happy! Wait, does this mean we're, like, breaking up?"
"Not exactly... but hey, what did i say?" I smiled, kissing her on the cheek. "Everything will work out fine,"
