CHAPTER START---
Stirring awake at night, Momo sits up and unzips her sleeping bag, feeling her head throbbing from all the training she's done today.
'Just five more days Momo, this is what it takes to be a great Hero,' she thinks to herself, looking around to see all the other girls scattered about the room on their sleeping bags.
She passes a hand through her long hair, currently down instead of in her signature spiky ponytail, and carefully gets up, using the moonlight to avoid stepping on anyone.
Wearing just a pair of pink shorts and a red t-shirt with 'Genesis' printed on the front, she arrives at the paper sliding door to the room and carefully opens it, taking a look back to make sure she hadn't disturbed anyone.
Scanning the room she sees Tsu tightly bundled up in her sleeping bag. Jiro is laying halfway atop Setsuna, and Toru and Mina sleeping atop each other.
Momo frowns slightly as she sees Mina, the girl had refused to tell them what Horizon won from her, but from her reaction, they all assumed it was something rather naughty.
Before she knew it Momo was glaring at Mina, a slight tinge of jealousy and envy bubbling up, but she just takes a deep breath and lets it go.
Mina only pulled that stunt with the card because of her own self-depreciation after all. The girl was sick of hearing Momo claim that Horizon would never be attracted to her and decided to go to the source.
Stepping out of the room and closing the paper door Momo makes her way over to the dining area, getting a bottle of water and making a painkiller in her palm to deal with the headache.
As she's walking back to the girl's room, however, she hears the sound of a door closing, coming from the lounge area of the resort.
Momo is immediately on alert, knowing that at this hour only Eraser Head and Vlad King would be up, but they always stay in one of their rooms to discuss training progress.
With careful steps she keeps one of her hands behind her back, ready to make a weapon if needed.
But as she slowly pushes open the door, she sees Horizon sitting on the couch, scrolling through his phone.
There was a half-eaten plate of cookies and an almost empty bottle of water on the coffee table in front of him, showing he'd been there for a while.
"Horizon?" Momo asks, causing him to look up from his phone.
"Yeah?"
"It's past curfew, you should be in bed," Momo says, entering the room and closing the door behind her.
The room was simple and comfortable with a door on either side, a waiting area of sorts for the resort.
"Says the girl that's awake," Horizon says.
"I just had to get some water, but clearly you've been here for a while, you should set a better example as our Class Rep."
"I'm working on something," Horizon says. "I'll be in bed in a few minutes, don't worry."
"Oh, hero work, I suppose that's a good reason," Momo nods along. "Very well then, goodnight."
"Mhm," Horizon just nods as she turns around and begins walking away, enjoying the sight of her with her hair down for a change.
But she stops at the door, as if frozen for a few seconds before stiffly turning and walking back over to him, "may I speak to you about something?"
'Ugh...seriously,' he glances over to the other door, already annoyed with Momo's bad timing.
"Sure, but make it quick please."
"Thank you," Momo takes a deep breath and scrunched up her face, focusing hard to gather her thoughts. "I like you," she blurts out.
"I know."
"Uh..." he can almost smell the smoke coming from her brain, completely caught off-guard by his response. "Really?"
"Since I'm not stupid, yeah, I knew for a while."
Momo just looks confused, "and did you also know tha---"
"That Jiro likes me too, yeah, all the blushing and stuttering among other things, not subtle from either of you."
Momo starts blushing exactly like he just said and begins playing with her hair, "well... I was wondering if...maybe we could..."
"Date?" Horizon puts down his phone to finally give her his full attention. "Is that what you want?"
Momo just nods, so nervous she couldn't even speak.
"Ok, so I assume you've gotten past and accepted everything I said at the pool then?"
"It's not what I imagined for myself, but yes," Momo says quietly.
"So you're ok with being with someone knowing all of that, plus the fact that my hero work is currently my first priority so I won't have that much time for you, really?"
"Yes," she says without even hesitating.
Horizon rolls his eyes beneath his visor, "and what about Jiro?"
"Kyoka?"
"Mhm, Jiro, pretty sure she still likes me too. And she's not just your first friend, but also your best friend. Are you ready to hurt her like this?
You're a nice and good girl Momo, I can't imagine you're ok with hurting your friend and ruining your friendship over some guy, especially for one that won't be entirely focused on you.
So, again, are you sure about this?"
Momo opens her mouth to answer, but after a few moments, she can't even speak.
She looks down at the table between them and her shoulders drop down, "I...I think, I enjoy things as they are, and I don't want anything or anyone coming between my relationship with Kyoka.
I'm sorry, but I don't think I can get involved with you like this," she says with teary eyes.
Beneath his visor Horizon just raises a brow, not sure why she's the one crying when he's getting 'rejected'.
"It's ok Momo, I understand, you just don't want anyone to get hurt," he says in a comforting voice. "Don't worry, we can all just be friends."
"Thank you," she bows quickly and rushes out of the room, just wanting to get to the bathroom and sob for a few minutes.
After she leaves Horizon just sighs and looks toward the other door, "she's gone, you can get back in here."
Pixie-Bob immediately opens the door and steps in, wearing a set of thick blue pajamas.
Just a moment before Momo entered she had gotten up to go turn off the oven, causing the noise that alerted Momo in the first place.
Walking over to the couch she casually drops back down into Horizon's lap, this time having her back against his chest.
They'd been up for nearly two hours just... 'talking'.
"So what was that all about?" she asks as he puts his hands around her waist.
"Wow, I didn't take you for the eavesdropping type Ryuko."
"I'm not, but I was already at the door when she started asking about dating you."
"I know, it's nothing major."
"Really?" She closes her eyes and leans back into him, "sounds like two girls in your class like you, they're cute, and good girls, why not ask one of them out? Or just accept her offer?"
"Well aside from the fact that everything I said to her is completely true, part of the reason is that I like the social dynamic of my class as it is. I've got enough on my plate, I don't need to add women to the list.
Getting into anything serious or a relationship where I'm stuck in a classroom with her four days a week sounds like an eventual problem.
Plus if something doesn't work out I'll be stuck with her for the next three years, no thanks."
"So you turned her down because of that?"
"No, she rejected me," Horizon corrects her. "I never rejected her, that could have caused her feelings or whatever to get hurt, and that could be another issue to make my time at UA annoying. I just pointed out why she shouldn't want to be with me."
She thinks about exactly what was said in that conversation and shakes her head, "you're like some kind of evil genius..." she mutters.
"How dare you," he says jokingly, "I'll have you know I'm going to be the #1 Hero one day."
Ryuko smiles, feeling his hands moving under her top and up her toned belly, "you know, usually when people say that I don't take them seriously, but I think you'll get there one day, honestly."
"It's an eventuality, especially with a Quirk like mine..." he says as Ryuko begins to moan and grind in place in his lap as his hands move up to her chest
"Mmmmhmmmmmm."
"Crap," Horizon says, causing her eyes to shoot open.
"What's wrong? Is it Mandalay?"
"Eraser is coming this way," Horizon says. "How about we finish our chat in my room..."
Before she can even respond he stands up with her in his arms.
"Yeah," she says, "we've still got a lot of talking to do."
"Shambles..."
