Chapter 10: Just For A Moment

Momo woke up to the light of the sun peering through the blinds as she blinked away sleep and looked at her bandages.

Momo gripped her bedspread as she went to get up, “Going somewhere?” Recovery Girl asks causing Momo to jump slightly, “Yes ma’am, I’m headed to the arena to watch the rest of the battle.”

Momo says as the old woman chuckled, “I’m afraid that you missed out on quite the show young lady, it was certainly explosive.” Recovery Girl says as Momo cracks a smile, “Did Kats- I mean, who won?” Momo asks as Recovery Girl stroked her chin, “Surprisingly, it was Class B’s Tokage who took the win.”
 
Recovery Girl says as Momo’s smile drops slightly, “That girl is resilient I’ll give her that, but Katsuki but up a hell of a fight with Shoto.” Recovery Girl says as Momo looks to the side before opening her mouth to speak as Recovery Girl practically reads her mind, “He should be in the other room. Careful though he isn’t in the best of shape.”

Recovery Girl says as Momo nods, “Thank you.” Momo says politely as Recovery Girl smiled at her. Momo walked into the hallway toward the other room.

Shoto looked up at the ceiling of the room as he tried his best not to make eye contact with the blonde haired boy at the other side of him, Shoto cleared his throat as he spoke.

“So… Who’s Tokage?” he asks as the room stayed silent for a minute, “The fucking victor.” Katsuki says as Shoto spoke again, “I meant to you?” Shoto asks again as Katsuki huffs, “A fucking side character! Why the fuck are you talking to me IcyHot?” Katsuki says as Shoto sighs, “I misjudged you… I also degraded your dream. So I wanted to make small talk and take a shot at being… friends.” Shoto says as the room goes quiet again.

"Friends? Last time I checked you wanted to freeze me to death." Katsuki says as Shoto sighs, "I know, I'm sorry. It's just I didn't really take out the time to understand you ." Shoto says as Katsuki huffs.

“Next are you going to ask if we can go shopping together and talk about girls?” Katsuki says as Shoto stares at the ceiling. “No, I didn’t think you were into that stuff.” Shoto says as Katsuki huffs, “That’s cause I’m fucking not.”

Katsuki says as Shoto chuckles, “Look IcyHot, You can keep your damn apology cause I don’t want it. I’m going to be the fucking best no matter what anyone says… Got it? I can tolerate your existence, don’t go getting all mushy on me and changing that or I'll kick your ass again you bastard!”

Katsuki yells as bit as Shoto faintly smiles, “Sure.” He says as he gets up and heads for the door, “If anything happens to Momo, I’ll personally make you pay for it.” Shoto says as Katsuki huffs again.

“Piss off IcyHot, Don’t underestimate her.” Katsuki says as Shoto sighs, “That works.” Shoto leaves the room as Katsuki sits up and singes the blanket he’s gripping in his hands.

Momo treads quickly down the hallway nearly running into Shoto as Momo backs up, “Todoroki, I’m sorry.” Momo says as Shoto smiles, “It’s fine. You going to see him?” Shoto asks as Momo nods, “I figured, well he’s doing alright for the most part. He should be back in action in no time.” Shoto says as Momo smiles weakly.

“I know, thank you Todoroki.” Momo says as Shoto looks to the side, “I’m sorry for acting so rashly and cruel during the tournament. I let my heart get in the way of the competition.” Shoto says as Momo shakes her head.
 
“Honestly, it’s alright. I understand, there’s no bad blood between us. I get it.” Momo says as Shoto looks at her again, “That’s good, I’m glad. I for one respect your decision and trust you.” Shoto says as Momo smiles at him.
