It was ten in the morning on a Tuesday when Todoroki first saw her anywhere outside of her room as he and his friends exited the lecture hall. She was wearing a thin-longsleeved shirt with the sleeves rolled up and faded jean shorts to suit the warming weather outside. She was absolutely beautiful with her silky black hair tied into a sloppy bun atop her head and a sky-blue backpack slung over her shoulder with ease as though she wasn't being weighed down by a hundred textbooks. She looked perfect. And Todoroki was staring at her for far too long for his friends not to notice, a fatal mistake on his part.
"Uh, dude, what're you staring at?" Kirishima's hand was placed roughly on his dual-haired friend's shoulder, effectively snapping Todoroki from his trance. The thing was that there was something oddly beautiful about seeing her during the day. The way the golden light bounced off her peachy skin, highlighting the light dusting of summer freckles that were brought on by the emergence of the sun. But he ripped his eyes away from her just long enough so as not to be usspicious. Or so he thought. "Dude, were you staring at her?" Kirishima's eyes nearly popped out of his head as he saw who Todoroki was looking at.
"Um, no?" It came out too hesitant for it not to be suspicious to his friends who almost freaked the fuck out in the middle of the hallway. Todoroki scowled deeply at them as he turned to start leaving. He didn't need this today.
"Who the fuck is that?" Bakugou asked gruffly, as he directed his attention toward where Kirishima and Todoroki were looking, catching the attention of Kaminari (who got way too excited about the whole ordeal) as he did so. God, it was the one time that Todoroki wished his dumbass blond friend was too busy Instagram stalking his ex to pay attention to him.
"Bro, is that your girlfriend?" Kaminari's eyes widened with an evil sort of joy that put Todoroki very on edge. And it only got worse when Momo turned to wave at him with that gorgeous smile of hers. If his friends noticed the bright red blush that spread across his face, they didn't mention it (thank god for that). They were too busy staring at her from down the hallway.
And then the worst possible thing happened: she began to bounce her way over to them, a gleeful smile gracing her full lips as she neared the group of guys. Todoroki mentally prepared himself for Momo to run for the hills screaming after meeting his friends as she halted in front of them with a grin and said,
"Hi, Shouto!"
"Hey, Momo," he greeted back, rubbing the back of his neck in an almost shy way that looked good on him. She smiled at his sudden hesitance toward her. Sure, they hadn't really seen each other at all outside of her dorm room, but it wasn't like they didn't know each other or anything, so Momo saw no reason that she should treat him differently than she normally did.
"I'm Ejirou," Kirishima introduced, completely unprompted as he extended his hand to her from behind Todoroki, who stood there like a dam keeping his overzealous friends from drowning Momo with their stupidity and dumbassery. Okay, sure that was mostly Kaminari, but Kirishima was over-eager and Bakugou was...Bakugou. Really the only one he felt comfortable introducing her to was Izuku.
"Momo Yoayorozu," She said with a soft smile that Todoroki inwardly adored. But he didn't say anything out loud, making sure to keep his expression stoic as he shoved his hands into his pockets and prayed for this to be over soon so his friends wouldn't ruin the only functional relationship he had.
"I'm Denki. Hi. Are you Shouto-boy's girlfriend?" Oh god. Even for Kaminari, this was a very steap downhill slope. Todoroki's jaw tightened as he tried not to outwardly show the annoyance that raged behind those heterochromatic eyes of his. And his annoyance started before you even took into account that Kaminari had his arms loops over Todoroki's neck to get to the girl, his head resting on Todoroki's dual-colored hair.
"What?" Momo gave an awkward little choke followed up by an almost amused smile and Todoroki felt the sudden urge to jump into the conversation he was hoping ot ignore. Half of him wanted to say "yes" because, fucking hell, he really wished that were true, and the other half of him was suffocating because his friends wouldn't shut the fuck up.
"No. Nope, she's my friend," Todoroki gave Kaminari a quick jab to the stomach, effectively removing the blond from his back. "And speaking of friend's. I would like to have a word with my friend." He emphasized the last word as he wrapped a calloused hand around Momo's arm and dragged her to the opposite side of the hallway. Once comfortably out of earshot, he leaned against the wall, shoulder to shoulder with her, the small contact sending a pleasant shiver down his spine before he said in a whispered tone, "Just act normal. They're fucking nutbags. And I swear to god that I didn't tell them you were my girlfriend." He felt the need to clear that up because a lie like that could get him into some seriously hot water.
She just released a vibrant laugh that hitched his breath in his throat and made his heart stutter in his chest.
"They seem sweet, Shouto," she placed a gentle hand on his muscular shoulder before pushing away from the wall to go rejoin the other guys. All he could do was stand there for a second and ponder just why the hell the spot where she touched him tingle pleasantly and dear god why, why was she acting so calm about the whole girlfriend thing?

It was only after Momo had departed to run to her next class that Kaminari sidled up next to Todoroki in a way that made Todoroki think he already knew what his blond friend was going to say to him. And to say the least, he was not goingto be happy about it if Kaminari was about to say what he thought he was. The dumbass blond always did this shit. And his suspicions were only confirmed when Kaminari leaned on his shoulder and said,
"So she's not your girlfriend right?" Todoroki rolled his eyes in a way that suggested an obvious "no" and only egged Kamianri on in a way that the dual-haired boy destested. Sure, he cared for his friend like a brother, but this shit that he pulled had gotten old in high school. "Which means she's fair game, right?"
Todoroki abruptly stopped walking and turned to his blond friend with an expression that was somewhere between a contemptuous smile and a glare, sending shivers down Kamianri's spine as he said, "If you touch her with those dirty-ass man-whore fingers of yours, I will kick your ass, got it?" Kaminari just held his hands up in surrendur. He had expected that much from the dual-haired boy. It was obvious that he didn't even want them talking to her, but the blond figured it was worth a try.
However, what he wasn't expecting was when his friend turned around and continued walking saying, "And I know you're still bitter that Jirou dumped you, but if you really want her back, fucking anything that moves in a lame attempt to make her jealous isn't the way to do it." Yup, that took the yellow-haired college sutdent by surprise.
