Yaoyorozu navigated the bustling hallways of UA High School with a practiced grace, her steps purposeful as she made her way to her next class. But despite her focused demeanor, she couldn't escape the persistent whispers and lingering gazes that seemed to follow her every move.

Ever since her first year at UA, Momo had become accustomed to the constant attention from her male peers. Whether it was compliments on her intelligence, admiration for her quirk, or simply requests for study sessions, Momo had grown weary of the endless stream of boys vying for her attention.

As she rounded a corner, Momo was intercepted by yet another admirer, his confident grin faltering slightly as he caught sight of her impassive expression. "Hey, Momo, I was wondering if you'd like to grab lunch together sometime?" he asked, his voice hopeful.

Suppressing a sigh, Momo politely declined his offer, citing prior commitments as she hurried away. But even as she continued on her way, Momo couldn't shake the feeling of frustration that had been building within her for some time now.

Tired of being approached by boys who only seemed interested in her for superficial reasons, Momo couldn't help but wonder if she would ever find someone who appreciated her for more than just her appearance or her quirk.

As the final bell rang, signaling the end of class, Momo gathered her belongings and prepared to make her way to her next activity. However, before she could take a single step, she found herself approached by yet another admirer, his confident demeanor bordering on arrogance as he addressed her.

"Hey, Momo, I've been meaning to ask you something," he began, his tone oozing with self-assurance.

Momo braced herself for another unwanted proposition, her polite smile faltering slightly as she prepared to decline. But before she could utter a word, the boy took a step closer, invading her personal space in a way that made her uncomfortable.

As Bakugou conversed with Sero and Kirishima, his attention momentarily diverted, his sharp eyes caught sight of a scene unfolding nearby. Momo, suddenly surrounded by a group of boys, seemed visibly uncomfortable as one of them stepped too close, his touch lingering in a way that set off alarm bells in Bakugou's mind.

Without a word, Bakugou's gaze hardened, his jaw set in a firm line as he observed the situation unfolding before him. Despite the ongoing conversation with his friends, Bakugou's focus remained fixed on Momo, his protective instincts kicking into high gear.

After a tense moment, Bakugou abruptly excused himself from the conversation, his movements purposeful as he made his way towards Momo's side. Sero and Kirishima exchanged puzzled glances, noticing the sudden shift in Bakugou's demeanor, but said nothing as Bakugou intervened in the situation unfolding before him.

With a determined set to his jaw, Bakugou approached Momo and the group of boys, his presence commanding attention as he stepped forward to stand beside her, a silent but unmistakable declaration of solidarity.

One of the boys steps up. "Hey! Bakugou, right?"

Bakugou's eyes narrowed at the sudden change in tone, his irritation evident as he crossed his arms over his chest. "What's it to you?" he retorted, his voice sharp with annoyance.

The boy who had spoken took a step forward, his demeanor shifting from casual to confrontational. "Hey now, no need to get defensive," he replied, a smug smirk playing on his lips. "Just making conversation. Are you her boyfriend or something?" he added, his tone laced with thinly veiled amusement.
