Blood Lust: Reverse AU

Stay With Me

Todoroki took a second to collect himself before realizing that they were outside of a house. Is this her house? he thought. He looked over at Momo, who pulled the keys from her purse and unlocked the front door. She opened it and then turned to face Todoroki.

"Can you please come inside?" she asked.

"Oh... um... I mean..." Todoroki was interrupted by Momo grabbing him by the wrist and pulling him into her house. Holy shit, this is crazy. First I try to eat out with a vampire, then I witness her kill someone and now I'm in her house... What a night...

Momo closed the front door as Todoroki walked into what he assumed was Momo's living room. Numerous dolls were scattered across the floor, as well as a few pillows. "What's all of this?" Todoroki asked all of a sudden.

"Eh?" Momo looked down at her messy living room and sighed. "One of my hobbies. I usually play around with those dolls to kill time."

Todoroki blushed at how cute that was. She plays with dolls? "How about we play with them?" he asked. "Who knows? It could be fun."

"Why the sudden interest, Todoroki?"

"I don't know. I'm kind of curious as to what kind of games you play with these dolls."

"They're not really games..." Momo muttered as Todoroki removed his shoes and jacket. He left his jacket on the couch and sat in the middle of the living room. He picked up one of the dolls and stared at it intently.

"Is this you?" he asked.

Momo walked over to him and took the doll from his hands. "Yeah. I made all of these dolls a long time ago," she told him as she looked down at the doll of herself. The amount of detail on the doll was amazing. The eyes were nearly spot on and the hair looked pretty good too. Her doll was wearing a simple pink dress and black leggings. Momo looked over at Todoroki, who was admiring all of the dolls around him. She smiled, happy at the fact that someone finally appreciated her art. The other vampires always thought that she was weird for having all these dolls around, with the exception of, —

"What's the deal with those Russian nesting dolls?" Todoroki asked.

Momo looked over at a small table next to her TV, which had about six of the aforementioned Russian nesting dolls. She walked over to the small table and took one of the dolls in her hand. "I used to have a blast making these when I was a human," she said. "I don't really make much of these anymore. I grew out of it and started making those dolls instead. What do you think of them anyway?"

"I think they're really well made."

"Yeah?"

"Totally. The eyes almost look real. It's kind of scary. How long does it take you to make these?"

"Usually around an hour to two. It depends on how much detail I feel like applying to the dolls."

"Hm." As Momo started to reorganize her Russian nesting dolls, Todoroki's attention was caught by one of the dolls. He picked it up and arched his brow. "Momo..."

"Yes, Todoroki, —" Momo gasped as she saw what Todoroki was holding. "Y-You weren't supposed to see that..."

"I like it, Momo." Todoroki smiled as he held the doll in his hand. It was obviously supposed to be him. He could tell by the evenly split hair and the different colored eyes. "What do you do with these dolls?"

Momo sighed and sat down in front of Todoroki. "Whenever I feel sad or alone, I always play with these dolls. I like to... pretend."

"Pretend what?"
