Cleaning chores

Classes had ended for that day,everyone had moved back in the dorms,Mineta was annoying and Bakugo was yelling as the sun had just set.Momo was reading a book about biology to ease her mind a bit before starting to do the chores.The chores weren't anything special.They consisted of passing the floor with the vacuum cleaner,get rid of the dust on the couches and clean the windows.

"Meningitis can also affect various-"Momo's reading was interrupted by someone entering the room.
"Yaoyorozu"said Todoroki.
"Todoroki"returned Momo with a smile.She closed her book and left it on the table.
"Where is everyone?"asked Todoroki.
"Well most of the boys went to the rooms while the girls fancied staying a bit on the roof before going to sleep.It was currently 8pm so Momo and Todoroki had no time to waste.
"I'll start with the vacuum cleaner if you don't mind"said Momo.
"Sure,I'll start cleaning the windows"said Todoroki.
They went into the supply closet and Todoroki got a rack and a spray for window cleaning while Momo got the vacuum cleaner.Momo started cleaning by the entrance side of the room while Todoroki started doing the same at the windows towards that direction.A few minutes passed and the two teens didn't really talk,they were probably both just thinking about the sooner they finish today's chores,the sooner they'll go to sleep.A few more minutes passed and Todoroki pauses for a second,he then just rubbed his forehead a bit.Momo noticed this.
"Headache?"she asked.
"What?"asked Todoroki.
"Oh sorry..."she turned of the vacuum cleaner.
"I said,headache?"said Momo.
"No just..."Todoroki just looked down a bit.
"What is it?"asked Momo.
"I..I have.."said Todoroki holding back a bit.
"I've been remembering stuff..."said Todoroki.
Momo was instantly stormed with all the embarrassing memories she had made the past week.
Sleeping with Shoto,him hugging her tightly...dear God,she had taken a bath with the damn kid.
She became a bit red and hesitated a bit before asking.
"What exactly do you remember?"asked Momo.
"I...a plate of Zaru Soba..a Lego toy and something which I think was a lollipop"said Todoroki.
Do you know the relief that you feel when you've gone well on a test?The relief of when the bus that you take is empty with air conditioning?That's what Momo was feeling right now,just times 10.He wasn't remembering any embarrassing stuff at least.
"Also I remember your bathroom..."he confessed looking away.
If black holes could correspond with a feeling,it would be what Momo is feeling right now.
"Do you mean?"she asked shakingly.
"Yes...BUT THAT MEMORY IS REALLY P-FUSSY AND I DON'T REMEMBER ALMOST ANY OF IT!"said Todoroki trying to save any of drop of dignity that Momo had left.
Momo just stood there and then bowed down and hugged her knees.
"I'm so embarrassed by my actions..."she said.
"You were just trying to satisfy a little kid's stupid needs,it's not your fault!"said Todoroki while searching for any atoms of Yaoyorozu's dignity.
"Let's just get this over with..."said Momo getting up and reactivating the vacuum cleaner.
After 2 hours Momo and Todoroki were completely done,you could basically say that the room was sparkling.
Momo sat down on the couch once again she opened her book and started reading again.
"Aren't you going to go to sleep?"asked Todoroki.
"Yeah,but I'm going to stay here for a bit"said Momo.Todoroki sat besides her.
"I'll keep you company until you go"said Todoroki pulling out his phone.
"That really isn't necessary"said Momo while waving her hand in front of her face.
"I insist"said Todoroki.You do not say "no" to Todoroki when he insists.I'm sure that that's written in a survival book somewhere out there.
He started doing anything he could to make time pass,play games,message someone,watch a video.Anything.
After almost an hour he was feeling his eyes heavy,his left shoulder felt heavy as well...wait,that isn't a normal symptom of being tired.He turned his head a bit to inspect his left shoulder.
Momo sleeping on his shoulder wasn't something he was expecting.But I don't think anyone would expect anything like that on a Monday night.
Those perfect features of hers,that night sky black hair,those tender lips.
This was the part where he wished he was dead.Because for all the female readers here that don't know,we males have a code,no matter what happens,if a girl falls asleep on your shoulder then you must not do a single action,move,talk,breathe,who needs their heart pumping blood around their body anyways?
So he had two options.
1.Wake up Momo,which was out of the question.
Or
2.Wait until she wakes up.
No matter how long it took,he needed to wait for h-...Oh!...he fell asleep as I was writing his options...

Fast forward to the next morning.
Momo felt her eyes as if someone had shoved two golf balls in her face.She hugged her pillow harder.
"I don't remember my pillow being so hard...Wait a second,my pillow doesn't have a sixpack...and my bed isn't mounted on the wall..."Momo thought.She opened her eyes only to be met by the sight of her two arms wrapped around Todoroki,while her left arm had creeped under his shirt to feel his warm six pack.
Momo blushed furiously as she launched back.
Thankfully,her gaze met with Todoroki's phone screen,revealing that the time was 7:53.
"Todoroki!"yelled Momo.
He launched up.
"I'm awake!"he said launching up.
He analyzed his surroundings and processed everything in a speed of a ryzen threadripper(For non-computer geeks,I mean truly fast).
"What time is it!?"he asked not fully aware of the situation.
"7:53!We'll be late for class!"If someone out there has a Speed quirk,he probably wouldn't be able to go as fast as Momo and Todoroki during these 15 minutes.Changing clothes,eating breakfast and running through U.A. in a blink of an eye.
They basically slid through the halls.
They turned a corner and saw the sign with 1-A written on it.
Todoroki opened the door as soon as he arrived.
"Forgive our tardiness Aizawa-sensei!"they said in unison while bowing down.
"It's the first time you two are late,so I'll let it through"said Aizawa with a truly bored tone.
They sighed in relief and went to sit down.Other than a few weird stares from their classmates,class and generally the entire school day was normal.
Leading towards the end of the day everything was normal,no excessive interactions and no weird situations.
As the sun set Momo started getting suspicious of her friends as anytime they would talk a few feet away from her,they would look at her then giggle.
Were they looking down on her?She asked herself.
No,that's not possible.I mean Uraraka and Hagakure are as innocent as you can get,Mina doesn't know the difference between a Policeman and a Police officer,Tsuyu always thinks positively of everyone and Jiro was her best friend.Speaking of Jiro,maybe she could get some answers from her,considering they were in her room cause Jiro can't understand Math.
"Yaomomo,how am I going to finish high school!?"yelled Jiro in frustration.
"Jiro"said Momo.
"Hm?"Jiro looked at Momo,waiting for a question.
"Today the girls and some of our other classmates were looking at me and they were giggling...has something happened and I haven't learned about it?"asked Momo.
"No Yaomo-"Jiro couldn't finish the sentence before bursting out laughing.
Momo got particularly annoyed at this.
"Tell me!"said Momo like a five year old.
Jiro pulled out her phone.
"Just look at the picture that Kirishima took this morning"said Jiro showing her phone screen to Momo.
Momo blushed furiously.

The image was the following.

Momo hugged her legs and started rolling around the floor.
"Can this get any worse!?"yelled Momo.
There was a knock on the door.
"Yaoyorozu,why aren't you in your room?It's past curfew"said Aizawa behind the door.
