Izuku and Momo walked into their home with the both of them holding a paper bag full of groceries.   

"I'll start putting everything away, you can start setting up the study notes." Yaoyorozu said as they both placed the bags on the counter. 

"Study notes? O-Oh right, that's why I requested you for today huh?" Izuku had completely forgotten that he asked Momo for helping studying. 'I only did that so I could find a way to get her to rest up, but it's already getting late, and she's hungry too... Damn it Izuku Midoriya why do you never plan ahead! Although that is what led to the sorta-kinda date I had with Momo, right?' Izuku ruffled his hair, turning to Momo as she was laying out the necessary ingredients while putting the rest in the fridge. "Y-You know what Yaoyorozu, we can study another time. I mean we were sidetracked by the grocery shopping, studying now might be counterproductive. So at least let me help you with dinner."

"Are you sure, Midoriya? You might have a point," Because Momo, herself, knew she wouldn't be focused on studying, she would be too distracted by Master. "Well, I guess we can always study another time. But don't worry, I'll handle cooking, you can rest-," 

Izuku lifted his hand, pointing his index finger up to silence her and repeated what she said earlier about going shopping with him. "Your Master insists." 

"O-Okay..." And she replied just as he did, her knees growing weak for some reason. 

Master and Maid were in the kitchen. They were making a beef stir fry with rice on the side. She was cutting the vegetables on the counter with him besides her, dicing the meat.

Izuku was caught off guard when he heard a sniffle next to him. His ears perked to the sound before turning his head slightly to her. She was cutting onions and had to rub her eyes with her wrist every now and then.  

He smirked before saying, "Don't feel bad for the onion, I heard it killed the carrot to take its place."             

Momo giggled out a sniffle, she wiped her eyes and nose before replying, "This whole time I thought the onion was innocent until I peeled the truth out of it."  

Izuku chuckled at the pun shaking his head. After she finished up cutting the onions she began to chop the tomatoes. 

"I miss this..." Momo spoke freely with a soft voice. 

Izuku turned his head slightly in her direction as he asked, "What do you mean?"   

"It's how it was at the dorms. All of us spending time together in such a carefree manner. I miss it." 

"Oh..." And he was left speechless for a moment because of how earnest and vulnerable her voice was. 'Now that I think about it, Yaoyorozu was always was happy to take care of everyone at the dorms... Not only that when I asked her about her family she completely snapped at me... Does Yaoyorozu not like living back at home? Was... Was she alone before the dorms? Has Yaoyorozu always been so alone...' And then he thought about himself and how he was always either alone or picked on because he was quirkless. 'Maybe being alone is another thing Yaoyorozu and I share.' Although unlike the other time he thought about what they had in common, this didn't make him happy. Izuku cleared his throat as he thought about all of this, trying to form the words to reciprocate her earnest vulnerability.

"Y-Yeah, I miss it too... But the time I'm sharing with you is just as important..." But Izuku couldn't leave it at that, as is his cursed nature to ramble. "I mean even at the dorms you were there taking care of me. Haha, remember when I got sick and you spent the whole time nursing me back to health, but then you got sick because of it and then I had to take care of you. Ah, sorry if my soup wasn't as good as yours-,"

He was interrupted by a sniffle. She was rubbing her eyes, letting out a weak giggle. She was tearing up again but not because of the onions, "Master, you're rambling again." Letting out another giggle, "And if I recall your soup was cold." She did always think Midoriya's ramblings were cute but it was what he originally said that got her emotional.  

"Sorry about that." He apologized for the rambling and cold soup as he scratched his cheek. 

"But I share your sentiment... This time is becoming important to me too..."     

"Yeah..."

"...Yes." 

And they finished cooking in a shared affectionate silence, although there were moments of the usual teasing and laughter. Once the food was ready they laid it out on the table, sitting across from each other. They talked about their times at the dorms and shared stories they were fond of. 

"Did you guys really talk about such vulgar things?" Yaoyorozu had covered her mouth as she held back her giggles. 

"Y-Yeah, hehe, but Mineta is usually the one who brings it up. Remember the time Jiro stabbed him in the eye for trying to peek at you guys. He deserved it haha." 

She shared in his laugh before growing a calculating smirk. "If I recall, Kyoka mentioned Mineta invited you to join him." 

Izuku ruffled the back of his hair with a sheepish blush. "I forgot about that part, yeah Mineta has always tried to rope me into things." 

"Just like our maid service?" She giggled. "I think he just wants to corrupt your innocence." 

He laughed as well, "Y-Yeah that must be it... But I mean, I'm not completely innocent." Izuku was confused about what just came out of his own mouth, although he felt that the only reason he blurted that out was because he didn't want Yaoyorozu to see him as just simply innocent, although he didn't know why. 'What am I saying?! Aren't I like the poster child of innocent pro-heroes! I can't even go to public hero events without becoming a nervous wreck that the media calls adorable and sweet! Why am I cursed with being a headstrong idiot during times of danger and an innocent dork when it's peaceful!?' 

Momo's eyes widened a bit at what he said before narrowing them, she could already tell that he was having one of his mental mumblings. She held back an amused giggle, figuring to challenge his so-called innocence. 'Although aren't I just as bad? All the teasing I've done to him has been an act! It's not like I could really do those things I suggest to him! My 'Ara ara' is a lie, that comes from false confidence!.. But it's the confidence I get only when I'm with him, maybe it isn't a lie around him.' She huffed up her chest with determination because of Master. 'I will tease him!'      

Like usual the both of them were overthinking, although Momo regained her composer first. 

"So, Midoriya would you have peeked if it was just me?" 

"What?! Yaoyorozu! I would never-, I mean of course I think you're cu-, um, I obviously wouldn't have let Mineta take a look, but then if it was just me and you-," 

Yaoyorozu stopped him before he started rambling again. 'He was about to say he thinks I'm cute right? That's exactly what he was gonna say!' It truly made her stomach flutter but she was doing her best to keep her composure, only growing a slight blush, having an amused smirk at his reaction. 

"Don't worry," Momo couldn't believe the words were coming out of her mouth, "I don't mind if it's you... Master." Although as she said it, she lost her nerve, her voice coming out as an innocent infatuated sigh, with her blush spreading across her whole face. 

K.O. 

Izuku fell off the chair. That caused her blush to fade as she giggled at his typical clumsiness. She helped him to his feet as she apologized but he waved her off, even sneaking in a 'thank you' for having permission. 

They finished eating and they didn't know what to do. It was already late but she didn't want to leave and he wanted her to stay despite them both knowing it would only be a detriment to her well-being. They both knew she should get going. 

"I guess it is already pretty late." She spoke in an almost whisper as if hoping he would tell her to stay. 

Izuku looked around as if trying to avoid the situation. 'I'm just worried about Yaoyorozu getting home, I know she said I shouldn't worry about that, but it is really late, she'd be completely drained by the time she gets home... and the whole point was to get her to rest up. I have to convince her to stay. I m-mean for her well-being, n-not because I just want to spend more time with her. It's definitely only because of worry!'    

He cleared his throat as he took a shot in the dark. "Y-Yeah it is... But don't we still have dessert waiting? They're your favorite snacks, right?" 

Her dejected expression grew into endearing joy. Her eyes grew a liquid surface, threatening to bubble out before she closed her eyes into that smile with a tilt of her head as her loose strand of hair fluttered along. 

"I'll prepare the tea!" 

She had a blushing giggle. Tonight was the most fun she had in a long time and she didn't want it to end. In fact, anytime she spent with Midoriya brought a smile to her face. She thought about how he gave her his sweater and how when she thanked him for it, he tried to give her a compliment but couldn't, then how he almost called her cute but still couldn't. 'The only reason I can tease him is because of the confidence he gives me... That just means I have to give him the confidence to say what he truly wants to.' And so Momo came to a conclusion. 

'I am going to tease out an earnest compliment from Master!'
