It was dawn. 

His eyes broke open. They had fallen asleep on the living room floor after their first kiss. It was still dark, with the sun yet having to rise. The TV was still on but nothing was playing. Although, he didn't notice his surroundings, he couldn't. 

Ever since opening, his eyes could only remain fixated on the elegant maiden peacefully sleeping besides him... 

He couldn't go back to sleep because simply being next to her caused his heart to race and mind wonder. He carefully scooted away from her as he rolled onto his back, staring at the ceiling. He lifted his hand up to his face before rubbing his eyes. He sat up with a confused expression as he recalled last night. His face heated up remembering how soft her lips were and how it felt like to fall asleep in each other's arms. 

"She... She called me, Izuku, didn't she?"  He couldn't remember if that really happened or if it was a dream. He shook his head, not wanting to stress himself, overthinking if it was okay to call her Momo. Instead, he would rather focus on making Yaoyorozu more comfortable. He carefully lifted her bridal style doing his best not to wake her. 

As he was laying her down on his bed, he felt a tug on his shirt. Her delicate fingers were clawing at the fabric as he began to let go of her, to let her get some more sleep. 

And she said it again, 

"Ne, I-zu-ku..." 

Her fingers slipped away from him as she whispered his name in that beloved sighing voice. His eyes widened and he had to gulp down his breathlessness away. He stumbled back quietly, leaving his room and plopping himself on the couch with his eyes still enamored wide. 

He couldn't stop thinking about the girl sleeping on his bed. He couldn't understand her. As his classmate, Yaoyorozu was always eloquent and proper, but as his maid, she was adorably innocent yet also loved teasing him. 

And now there was this Momo with an affectionate voice whose words came out as sentimental sighs... "It's like, when she talks like that, she's a completely different person..."   

Izuku was leaning back on the couch, he was staring at the ceiling before he placed his arm over his eyes, trying to hide from his own blush, as her voice and last night's memories kept replaying in his mind. He didn't believe it was possible to fall in love with the short amount of time he had spent with his maid, but here he was hopelessly daydreaming about her, wanting her to wake up, despite knowing how much she needed her sleep. It was strange, he had known Yaoyorozu since his first year at U.A. and yet he couldn't help but feel like he was seeing her, truly seeing her, for the first time, 'Could that be what people really mean when they say, love at first sight..?'     

"...I wonder... Is it okay if I say your name too... Momo..."     

It was the morning. 

Momo Yaoyorozu stirred around on the bed, cuddling with the blanket before she let out a content yawn, waking up with her usual kitten stretch. Her eyes fluttered open as she looked around the bed, recalling the brief moment she woke up in Izuku's arms. She could assume that he was the one that placed her on the bed, but was a bit disappointed when she realized he wasn't sleeping besides her, like at the love hotel. She grew a blush across her cheeks, remembering how intimate they had been for the last couple of days, and then her blush spread all over her face, cause she also knew how contradicting it was, because they could also be shy and bashful in front of each other. 

She climbed off the bed with a comfy huff as she made her way out of her boyfriend's room. Once she stepped into the living her lips pulled into a smile. She had found him sleeping on the couch, the same place she had fallen asleep last night. His study notes were sprawled out on the coffee table, implying he had tried to get some late-night studying done. 'He has mentioned that he needed help studying hasn't he?'  

"Oh, I know! I'll make Master breakfast, like he did for me!" She excitedly whispered to herself, hiding a giddy giggle with her fingers over her mouth. 

She was making pancakes that were as fluffy as she felt. Momo hadn't realized it but her neko-ears had popped up from her excitement about making her boyfriend food, sizzling some bacon and sausage, along with brewing some coffee,  for him to wake up to a home filled with the aroma of breakfast.

Izuku's nose sniffed at the smell reaching his nostrils. "H-Huh?" He weakly opened his eyes as he suddenly grew an appetite. He pushed himself up and off the couch, he didn't even remember falling asleep. The last thing he recalls was trying to get some studying done after he laid Momo down on his bed. He rubbed his tired eyes as he stood up, following his nose to the source of the delicious smell. 'Is that bacon?'

Once he was fully conscious, he found himself in the kitchen. 

Her neko-ears twitched to the sound of his usual stumbling footsteps. She did a cute mini-hop as she turned away from the stove to face him, She raised her paws up in greeting, holding a spatula in one, "Good morning, Master!"

"G-Good morning, Momo..." A blush was slowly growing across his cheeks. He was starting to realize that his maid called him Master in two different ways, there were times when she would say it to tease him, but there were other times, like this one, where she would say it with genuine joy, and he loved both versions of it. 

"Breakfast will be ready soon, would you like some coffee in the meantime?"   

"Sure, that sounds great." Izuku went to sit at the table with a smile on his face until he remembered everything that happened with Jiro yesterday. 'That's right I still need to ask Momo about that. Well, I can just do it after we eat.'  

They were having a warm and lively meal together, sitting across from each other with the servings of food spread out. 

"I hope you weren't upset that I was in your home unannounced." Momo figured to bring it up herself since it was out of the blue.

Izuku shook his head as he took a sip of his coffee. "No, it's fine really. I'm just curious how you got in? And why you did? If you don't mind me asking?"                           

"Oh simple, I had seen your house key when you used it to lock and open the door when we went grocery shopping. I just made a replica with the same patterns."

"I-It's actually terrifyingly amazing that you could make a copy of my key after only seeing it a few times." He ruffled the back of his head with an uneasy laugh as he looked to the side. 'Momo would make a great villain, thank God we got an innocent rich girl instead!'  

"As for the why of it..." Momo's voice became softer yet more serious, causing Izuku to give her his full attention. She was looking down and to the side with hers having a held-back wince before she lifted her eyes up to Izuku and then looking away again as she said. "I just... I just don't like being there... That's all... Really, that's all it is..." 

He could only assume that she was talking about her home. Izuku's eyes widened at her vulnerability before they narrowed in concern for her situation. He could tell from her voice and words that she didn't want to talk about it but he felt like it was something that they had to. 'If somethings wrong with Momo, I have to at least make the effort to help or how could I call myself a hero. Although I don't want to agitate her like the last time I asked, I should just find a way to ease into it. It wasn't much but at least she did tell me something.'                 

"Um, Momo. You can come over whenever you want to okay, even if I'm not home? Well for as long as my mom is overseas." Izuku gave her a reassuring smile, "In fact, keep the key you made, it can be like a housewarming present, hahaha."     

As if the serious situation was lifted off her shoulders, Momo was suddenly beaming at Izuku's support, thankful that he wasn't questioning because she was worried that he would. But then a sudden blush spread over her face as his words finally sunk in, her expression turned into shock, after she formed an irrational conclusion, "Living with Master?!"

"Eh!? D-Don't make it sound like that!" With his blush growing just as bashful as hers. But despite both of their shy attitude, they were both smiling. 'I guess now isn't a good time to ask her about her problems, she looked relieved enough as it is, that I left it alone but I can't just keep ignoring it, even if she wants me to. Maybe I can ask Jiro for help.' 

After they shared breakfast they decided to do the dishes together as well. Momo's Neko ears wiggled when she remembered about yesterday and the problem Izuku was roped in. 

"So how did it go? Who did you get as your maid?" She wasn't that concerned because even if it was Kyoka, or any maid for that matter, then Izuku wouldn't have let Mineta or Kaminari do something inappropriate.

"Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you but it was Jiro. It was pretty funny because Tiger showed up and scared off those two guys but then he left too and then it just left me and her. Ah, she also knows you're my maid, so we might have to deal with that at school today, but I mean you guys were already keeping it a secret so I don't think-," 

But this time Momo had drowned out his adorable ramblings after saying he was alone with another Maid. She had puffy cheeks and pouty lips giving him her cutest glare, smacking him with her paws, being a true Neko by trying to push him away while clinging to him at the same time.

"Master, how could you cheat on me with another Maid?! Did she make you tea as well?!"                

"E-Eh?! But I only went along with it because you were worried about her!"

"You're the worst, Master!" But in truth, 'Master is the best!'
