Chapter 13: Underestimated

Momo had been up pretty earlier waking up next to Katsuki as they lay in each other’s arms as Katsuki softly smiled at her, the moment was short-lived when Katsuki got up and said he was doing some digging this morning and that’ll he’ll be back to relay any information he had gotten.

Momo understood but a tiny part of her wanted to lay with him just a little longer, Katsuki had left a couple of hours ago now when Momo had ordered everyone breakfast.

Originally she was going to cook but she looked back into her memory and realized that maybe she should wait before trying that again by herself, besides either way it seemed to boost the mood of everyone even if it was just a bit. 

Momo was jerked out of her memory with a nudge from Kendo, “Hey, you good over there?” Kendo asks as Momo nods.

“Of course.” Momo answers honestly as Kendo nods her head.

“Thinking about your boyfriend?” Kendo teases as Momo shakes her head.

“Not just that, there are other things on my mind as well!” Momo says as Kendo chuckles.

“I’m only teasing, but what’s up?” Tendo asks as Momo waves her away, “It's just a quick trip down memory lane no need to worry about me.” Momo says as Kendo nods.

“Hey look. I’m totally here if you want to talk.” Kendo says as Momo nods, “I know. Thank you.” Momo says as Setsuna plops on the couch.
 
“Gah it’s boring around here, where’s Katsuki?” Setsuna asks as Momo raises an eyebrow.

‘Katsuki?’ Momo asks as she scans over the other girl, ‘Wait she’s the green-haired girl Katsuki was around a lot during the beginning of school.”

Momo concludes as Mina and Kirishima join the table as well as Tetsutetsu, ‘Why is she referring to Katsuki by his first name so casually though?” Momo says as Tendo speaks to the other girl as conversations happened around them.

Setsuna’s eyes meet with Momo’s it’s almost as if in the same moment they were having similar thoughts.

“You hang around Katsuki a lot right? You have any clue as to where he could be?”

Setsuna asks as Momo sips her tea, “Possibly, you never really know with Katsuki.” Momo says with a subtle glance as Kendo feels the tension beginning to build.

“Well if you do then could you relay some places for a girl? I’m trying to see if he’s down to hang out.” Setsuna says taking a swig of her coffee as Momo gently sets her tea down.

“Have you ever thought he was busy doing hero work or even homework before bothering him?” Momo says passively as Setsuna’s eyes glow mischevious for a second.

“Have you?” Setsuna says as everyone in the little couch area stared at the pair glaring at each other from across the table.

“Always and each time Katsuki has always allowed me to accompany him.” Momo says as Setsuna squints at her, “Oh really? It’s not healthy to be attached at the hip with a boy you know?” Setsuna says as Momo sips her tea again.

“Rich coming from a girl wanting to know a boy’s locations.” Momo retorts as Setsuna scoffs looking at her. “Is there an issue with my presence around Katsuki, Yaoyorozu?” Setsuna asks as she places as hand on the table.

“I’d hardly call it a presence, but no not in the slightest.” Momo fires back as Mina begins mouthing catfight to Kirishima who’s trying not to laugh.

“Oh so i’m not a threat or anything to you Yaoyorozu?” Setsuna says as Momo gives her a look, “I never said you were anything. I respect Katsuki’s friendships.”
