The next morning, I am making my way to school. At the front gate, I notice Momo standing there. It looks like she can't get into the school, because it is blocked by a crowd of people. It must be those reporters that want to talk to All Might, since he started teaching here.
I go up to her and say "Hi Momo, what's with the reporters?"
She turns to me with a smile on her face and she says "They keep asking about All Might."
"Figures" I say back to her.
She sighs and looks around before saying "We need to get inside, otherwise we'll be late."
"Hmm" I say out loud while thinking, maybe I could just use my Quirk to get us around these guys. "Hey Momo, you trust me right?" I ask her grinning just a little bit.
"I do, but why do you ask" Momo says, but instead of answering her with words, I answer with actions.
I activate Full Cowling at fifteen percent and kneel beside Momo. I scoop her up in my arms and stand up. She is very surprised at first, but then she relaxes against my chest.
"Whoa!" one of the women in the crowd says. "Princess carry, aww…. I wish my boyfriend would treat me like that."
Some of them look like they are going to approach us, but before they get the chance, I jump towards the top of the U.A. gateway. I land steadily on top of it and then hop off, landing on the ground with Momo still in my arms.
I glance down at Momo and see that she is looking up at me. She wears a blissful smile on her face, which urges me to act. I lean down and capture her lips with mine. Caught up in the momentum, Momo accepts the kiss for some time before deepening it.
It surprises me a bit, but before I could respond we get interrupted. "Midoriya, Yaoyorozu. The school is not a place to be acting on moments of passion" we hear someone say from behind us.
I stop kissing Momo and blush, while turning around to see who it was. As I turn, I see Shota niichan walking towards us and away from the reporters.
"How long are you going to hold Yaoyorozu?" Shota asks.
"Oh, right" I say as I carefully let Momo stand on her own once more. I look at her face and see that she is trying to maintain a serious expression, but from how red her face is, it doesn't really work.
"Now, off to class you two. Don't be late, because you lost yourself to teenage hormones" Shota says as he starts walking away.
We both nod and head off to class. On the way there Momo says "Izuku, I'm sorry."
"Why?" I ask her.
"Well, I may have gotten a little carried away with that kiss and I could tell you might not have liked that " Momo says.
"Momo" I said, stopping her by grabbing her hand. "I did like it, I loved it in fact. I just wasn't expecting it, that's why I was surprised."
"Oh" Momo says while squeezing my hand. "Maybe we could try that again sometime?"
I grin a bit and say "Definitely, but for now, why don't we get to homeroom before Mr. Aizawa scolds us again."
Momo nods in agreement and we continue walking to class. Upon arrival, we notice everyone in the class looking at us.
"What's wrong guys?" I ask, confused about why they are staring at us.
Ashido squeals a bit before saying "You guys are so cute, holding hands to class."
I freeze a bit realizing that and think, I.. didn't even notice, it just seems so natural.
Before I could say anything else Asui says "Are you two a couple Midoriya, ribbit?" As Asui asks that, I feel Momo squeeze my hand tighter. Looking over at her, I notice she is blushing quite a bit, but smiles back at me hopefully.
I breathe in and then out slowly before saying "Yeah, we are. Momo and I are dating."
Ashido squeals again and asks "How long have the two of you been dating?"
"A little over two months, but we could've been dating long before that if somebody" Momo says poking my shoulder "didn't overthink and assume things."
I feel a bit bad about that and say "I'm sorry Momo, I just...."
"I know Izuku... "Momo says squeezing my hand.
"Midoriya, Yaoyorozu. You two might want to take your seats, class is about to begin" Iida says getting our attention.
"Thanks Iida" I say as I let go of Momo's hand and we walk to our seats.
Moments after we sit down, Shota walks in and says "Decent work on yesterday's combat training, you guys. I saw the video feeds and went over each of your team's results. Bakugo… your talented, but that doesn't mean you won't have to work with others, learn to do so."
Kacchan growls softly, but says "Yeah, sure."
"Alright, let's get down to business" Shota says "Our first task, will decide your future."
I glance around me and everyone seems tense, but Shota continues saying "You all need to pick a class representative." When those words are spoken, everyone seems to relax.
"Pick me guys, I want to be class rep!" Kirishima yells out.
"I'll take it" Kaminari says and Jiro follows saying "Yeah, you're gonna need me."
"Someone with style would be" Aoyama says, but gets interrupted by Ashido yelling out "I'm totally the right pick!"
"I would love to be class rep" Shinso says quietly.
"Hey! You better choose me dammit!" Kacchan yells out.
Everyone continues to yell out choose me or something along those lines before Iida yells out "Silence, everyone please." After those words are spoken everyone quiets down.
"The class representative's duty is to lead others, that's not just something anyone can do. You must first have the trust of every student in the classroom. Therefore the most logical way to fill this position is through an election" Iida says while standing up with his hand held high.
"It's obvious that you want us to vote for you!" some of the class yells out.
"Is this really the best idea?" Kaminari asks.
"We've only known each other a few days" Asui says before asking "How do we know who we can trust?"
"Besides everyone will just vote for themselves" Kirishima says.
"Most people will, but that means whoever does receive multiple votes must truly be the most suitable person for the job" Iida saying, while turning to Shota and asking "It's the best way, right sir?"
Shota climbs in his yellow sleeping bag and says "Do what you want, just decide before my naps over" before zipping it up and falling on the ground asleep.
"Thank you, now let's begin. Take a sheet of paper and write who you want as the class representative" Iida says and everyone quickly does so.
I write down Momo's name for my vote and fold it to conceal it. After waiting some time, everyone is done. The papers are collected and the votes are tallied.
I look at the list and see my name at the very top with 5 votes, which makes me think. How did I get so many votes this time, maybe because I didn't break my arms. I look down further and see Momo with 3 votes.
"Zero votes…" I hear Iida say "I feared this would happen, but I can't deny the results of the system I chose."
"You didn't vote for yourself, huh?" Momo asks.
"You knew it was best to do that, right? What were you trying to prove here Iida?" Sato asks.
I stand and make my way up to the podium and looking back, I see Momo following me. We stop and turn when we are there, which apparently wakes Shota up.
He gets up and out of his sleeping bag and then says "Alright, the class rep is Midoriya and our deputy is Yaoyorozu. Just don't let your… relationship affect your duties."
"Yes" we both say. I turn to look at Momo and ask "You sure you don't want to be class rep?"
"They chose you Izuku, you're the class rep" Momo says. "Don't worry though, I'll be here to help you where you need it."
I nod at her and hear Asui say "Should be fine, ribbit."
Kirishima says "You were so manly yesterday that I had to vote for you."
"Yaoyorozu was totally on top of it when it came to our training results" Kaminari says.
For the rest of the morning, I can't help but be somewhat distracted. Should I keep being the class rep or should I hand it over to Iida, like I did before.
Finally, when it's time for lunch and we've made our way to sit and eat. I get snapped out of it by Momo poking my cheek. I blink a few times, before turning to her and ask "what's up Momo?"
"Penny for your thoughts?" Momo asks instead.
"I think that there was a better choice for class rep than me" I say concealing my true dilemma.
"Nonsense, you'll do fine" Uraraka says while eating.
"You'll be great" Iida says and I look over to him. "Your courage, strategic mind, and quick thinking under stress will help make you a great leader. Not to mention the strength you demonstrated. Those are the reasons I voted for you at least."
"Didn't you want to be rep really badly?" Uraraka asks.
"Wanting a job and being suited to it, are quite different things. Observing the Iida family's Hero agency, has taught me that much."
"Agency?" Uraraka asks.
"Yeah, his brother is the Turbo Hero Ingenium. He is super popular Pro and he has 65 sidekicks working alongside him at his Tokyo agency" I say with a smile on my face.
He appears a little shocked, but slowly regains his composure and says "That's correct Izuku, you really know your Heroes. The Iidas have been Pro Heroes for generations, it runs in our blood."
"Your family is famous!" Uraraka yells out.
"Ingenium is an unmatched commander, who honors the Hero code" Iida says while standing up, smiling brightly. "As the Iida son, I strive to be just like him."
"I know how you feel Iida, I have someone who I admire and I want to carry on their legacy" I say smiling.
"Who is that, Midoriya?" Iida asks.
"All Might" I say proudly.
"All Might!" Uraraka and Iida yell out.
"Yep" I say, which earns a sigh from Momo.
"He is dead set on #1, not just here in the school" Momo says.
I nod and before the two get the chance to retort a alarm rings out. "Warning, level three security breach. All students, please evacuate the building in an orderly fashion."
"What's a level three security breach?" Iida asks and I almost answer him, but realize I shouldn't know what that is.
"It means that someone has managed to get past the school's barriers. This hasn't happened in my three years here. We should get going" a student by us says before running off, along with a bunch of the other students.
I look over at Momo and say "stay with me" as I grab her hand and we head to the exit. It soon becomes a madhouse of students and Momo yells out "Oww, this is crazy!"
I look around and notice that the reporters are within view. To act or not to, I sigh, but then realize there's no time like the present.
I raise my hand and channel One For All at 30% into my fingers before snapping them. A loud noise is made, along with a gale pushing against the students, which gains their attention and they calm down.
"Everything is okay!" I yell out, while pointing out the window. "It's just the reporters from this morning, I'm sure most of you met them this morning! Stay calm and prove why we are here!"
"Look the Police are here" one student says, while another says "Thank goodness."
"Good job Izuku, that was thinking like a leader" Momo says while smiling at me.
I smile back and wait, while the crowd slowly disperses.
