The sky was a blanket of gray, with dark clouds threatening to spill raindrops...

Izuku, Momo, and Kyoka were at the beach. The three of them were standing next to each other, staring off at the endless horizon, with the sea and sky merging towards forever.

"We really didn't think this out, huh?" Izuku sighed out with some disappointment.

"Nope!" Momo replied with nothing but joy, not caring about the circumstances.

"No, we really didn't, bruh..." Jiro had the same sound of disappointment as Izuku but with some added sarcasm.

The three of them were at the beach that Izuku had cleaned before enrolling into U.A. They had come here, directly after school, after Momo's request, having nothing prepared and the weather wasn't tropical at all, instead it was gloomy.

Momo had insisted on coming to the beach, right after school with just the three of them. Izuku quite didn't understand, as he glanced around, the beach was quite empty, with only the three of them, seemingly the only people deciding to spend time there under the weather conditions.

"It's the complete opposite of a typical day at the beach, huh?" Izuku mentioned.

"Yeah dude, we didn't even prepare anything, and it definitely looks like it might rain."

"That's why it's perfect..."

Izuku and Jiro were confused by Momo's request, as they glanced at her then at each other before returning their eyes to her. Izuku was the first to reply.

"Um, are you sure Momo? I mean isn't that something we should wait for summer break? I think everyone in class would love to go together."

"Yeah, besides the weather doesn't look too good." Kyoka added as she stared up at the darkening clouds that were building up in the sky.

"Yes, I know the class is more than likely going to plan a trip to the beach during summer... But that's precisely why I want to do it now, regardless of the weather. It has to be just us, three..."

Momo was staring off in thought before she closed her eyes, clasping her hands together, taking a moment before opening her eyes and releasing her hands, letting out one of her sighs as she asked,

"It's okay if I'm selfish, just for today, right?"

"Y-Yeah, like I said, anything you want dude."

"Of course, you can Momo! You should be selfish more often!"

Jiro rolled her eyes at Midoriya's typical cinnamon personality but nodded because she did agree with him. "The guy is right, you know."

Momo shook her head with a sniffling giggle as she replied. "I could say the same towards the both of you. After all, Kyoka you became a maid alongside me without having any reason to do so, and Izuku, you've been nothing but supportive despite my reluctance to confide in you..." With her voice becoming strained at the end from her own guilt in not being able to trust her boyfriend.

"Yaomomo..."

Izuku's eyes winced, hearing the delicate struggle in her voice, and from his own frustration of being ignorant to Momo's situation, but he pushed that down to cheer up his girlfriend. He reached over to her lap, holding the hand that was lying there.

"Hey, don't worry about that. I know you'll tell me when you're ready,"

"Yeah, let's go to the beach and leave that shit behind." Kyoka chuckled with a smirk after she caused Momo to giggle.

"Yes, let's go!" She nodded with a closed-eye smile as she shared in a laugh with her best friend before turning to her boyfriend. "And I promise, I will tell you, Deku!"

At the beach, Kyoka was enjoying the view, or at least trying to but couldn't help but recall the conversation she had with Momo the day she found out about their relationship. 'Yaomomo said she didn't want Deku the hero to solve her problems... So then why did she call him that earlier today..?' But Jiro wasn't the type to kill the mood so she didn't bring it up.

While Izuku and Kyoka were simply staring off at the endless sea, Momo had been getting ready. She had dropped her school bag, kicked off her shoes, and pulled down her stockings, taking them off as well.

"Eh, Momo what are you doing?" Izuku asked, once he paid attention to the commotion beside him.

"Race you guys to the ocean!" The last thing Momo took off was her tie as she tossed it up, letting it flutter in the air as she ran ahead of them.

Kyoka had deadpan eyes and a dry voice. "Wow. She really plans on spending this time like a typical day at the beach, doesn't she?"

"Yeah, she really does." Izuku chuckled as he began to take off his shoes and rolling up his pants, then taking off his tie as well.

"Um, don't tell me, you too?" Jiro raised an annoyed eyebrow at him.

"Yup!" He laughed as he chased after Momo.

After a few seconds of silence, Jiro could only say, "... Fuck."

Before she begrudgingly(happily) went to join them.

Momo was the first to reach the water, her feet splashed on the water as she came to a stop. "Yay, I won!" she then hopped up and down, continuing to splash the water around.

"At least I'm not last!" Izuku joked around as he was about to reach the water.

"Oh really?" Jiro remarked as she came up behind him, shooting out one of her ear-jacks out to tangle around his legs and trip him.

"Hiee!" He skidded to a stop just before reaching the waves.

"Ha, loser! We did it, Yaomomo!" Kyoka stuck her tongue out as she ran past the fallen Izuku before cheering at Momo in happiness, splashing in the water alongside her.

"Oi, it's not that big of a deal." Izuku mumbled off to the side as he stood up and dusted himself off, smacking away clumps of wet sand as he walked towards them, also getting his feet wet.

"Only the loser would say something like that." Jiro mocked in a joking tone.

"Despite being the victor, I don't believe it matters, who wins," But instead of saying ne, like she usually would, she said something else as she lifted her hands up like paws. "Nyaa?"

"It's Neko-Momo!" Izuku blurted out from shock as a blush emerged on his face as he remembered that, that was the same pose Momo had when she introduced herself as his maid.

"Neko-Momo?" Jiro was confused at Izuku's claim, until she looked over at the girl and her eyes widened to the sight. "Oi, Yaomomo, why are you wearing neko-ears?!"

"Eeip!" Momo's face erupted in red as she could feel the neko-ears on her head, she squeezed her eyes shut and thrusted her paws down. "Don't look, it's embarrassing!" But despite her claim of shame, she made no effort to remove the adorable neko-ears.

"Can't help it, it's too cute." Jiro couldn't help but to tease Momo because she hadn't really seen this side of her. But then she heard Izuku trying to suppress a laugh. "Huh? What's wrong with you?"

"N-No, it's nothing!" He snickered, covering his mouth with one of his hands. "It's just, you have neko-ears too, Jiro!"

"Eh?" Jiro gave him a deadpan stare, not believing him.

But then Momo opened her eyes, hearing Deku's word. "Eh! You do, Kyoka!" Momo was completely shocked. "I didn't know your ear-jacks could do that!"

"H-Huh? What are you guys talking about?" She didn't understand what they were talking about until she reached up with her hands and felt the top of her head. "K-Kyaa!" She cried, realizing her ear-jacks had twisted and contorted into neko-ears above her hair.

She grew a blushing scowl, feeling delightfully uncomfortable from the attention she was getting from the both of them but still couldn't take much more of it, so she turned the attention to Izuku. "O-Oi, what about you Midoriya! Your hero costume had those bunny ears before either of us had these ears!"

"Huh? Oi, wait, Kyoka what are you doing-!" He yelled in surprise as Jiro pounced on him like a true neko.

They both tumbled into the water with a big splash, with a lot of the water hitting Momo. Although Izuku and Kyoka were too busy wrestling with each other that they hadn't noticed Momo.

Until, they heard her sniffling giggle...

They both stopped their play fight and turned their attention to her. They were about to ask if something was wrong, but Momo answered as she shook her head.

"Don't worry it's nothing... I'm fine, really... I just can't imagine myself, abandoning this..."

And she gave them that closed-eye smile with a tilt of her head.

But before either of them could reply to Momo's words, they began to see gentle ripples in the water, as the sound of droplets began to surround them.

It was raining...

Izuku stared up at the sky, seeing the fragile drops fall around them in the ocean. He then turned his attention back to Momo...

'I didn't know if it was the rain, or the ocean, but despite the smile she had, I swore I could see a glistening trail sliding down her cheek as she said,

"We can stay, and enjoy the rain, ne I-zu-ku..?"
