It was still morning. Izuku and Momo had gotten ready for school, and were currently riding the train, sitting side-by-side.

She was still acting like a bratty Neko and trying to give him the silent treatment, yet easily failing at that. 

Izuku didn't know why but there was something adorable about seeing the usually elegant and dignified Yaoyorozu acting like a stubborn neko-maid.

"So let me get this straight, you're mad at me?" 

"Yes." She nodded with pouty lips. 

"Because I listened to you?" 

"Ye-, Hey wait! I'm still not talking to you." She crossed her arms and turned her head away and upwards. "Hmph!"  

Izuku chuckled, shaking his head. "Welp, you're going to have to talk to Jiro, cause she knows I'm your personal client, but not that I'm your boyfriend."

"Eeip!" Momo's expression instantly changed, turning her whole body towards him. "Master, how could you not tell her?! Are you ashamed to be dating your maid?" She gave him a few more paw swipes before calming down. She looked away for a second as she fixed her loose strand of her. She then looked at him again, meeting his eyes, smiling at him with a tilt of her head as she spoke,

"But in all seriousness, thank you for not telling her. I was actually excited to tell her myself, but I haven't had the time to properly talk to her about it." 

Izuku scratched his cheek, "Y-Yeah, I figured as much, especially considering we only officially started dating yesterday." 

Momo giggled as she shook her head. She stared off for a moment before letting out a beloved sigh, as she leaned on Izuku's shoulder. "Even if that is true, it feels like you've been my boyfriend for so much longer than that..." 

Her hand had fallen on his lap and he reached for it, clasping their hands together, intertwining her fingers with his as she naturally rubbed over his skin with her thumb.  

"It's like what we talked about, n-no, it's like what happened at the hotel..." 

One squeezed the other's hand, and the other squeezed back. 

"Yes..." 

"...Yeah." 

And the train rode along over the thudding tracks of tranquil silence.                                    

Izuku and Momo were walking the rest of the way to school, walking next to each other. Izuku had been thinking about something since they got off the train. Momo had noticed his pondering state of mind considering that he was incoherently mumbling to himself in whispers with his hand to his chin. 

"Eh? Izuku, did you notice a rare quirk?"

But he didn't hear her.      

"Eh! Izuku?" She was not used to being ignored by Master! 

Like a neko that didn't know how to get her owner's attention, all she could do was stare at him with big, curious kitten eyes. Her face was unintentionally getting closer to his as she kept observing him. 

Neither of them noticed their closeness until her nose booped his cheek. 

"Eh?! Momo!" Izuku was startled but only for a moment, as they both realized how close they were to each other. Their cheeks heated up from the lack of personal space between them. They both instantly backed up, looking away from each other to hide their matching blush. 

"Um, w-was there something you wanted to ask me?" 

"N-No not really, I was just curious about what you were analyzing." 

"Oh, I was doing that, wasn't I? Sorry, sometimes I don't even realize I'm doing it." Izuku shook his head with a chuckle. "Um, but it's not really that important." 

She raised her eyebrows while batting her eyelashes at him, "Hm, but it seemed like you were really invested in it?" 

Izuku looked to the side in thought before looking ahead again as they walked. "I was just thinking about what just happened on the train. I liked how you were mad at me as a maid but also happy as a girlfriend." 

Momo's lips pursed into a realizing, "Oh." She looked down with a small smile before letting out a weak giggle. "Well of course I wasn't really mad, Izuku. I was just playing the part of your personal neko-maid," Momo blushed a bit after calling herself that, and then blushed some more after the next thing she said "B-But I'm also your girlfriend, and those feelings, as your girlfriend, are how I truly feel. To me, it's like we have two different relationships, one that's pretend and the other that's real..."

"Y-Yeah, I know what you mean." Izuku that about what she said, and how she was just playing the part of a maid, "It's kinda like role-playing, right!"   

"R-Role-playing?!" Her face erupted red. The problem was that Izuku was thinking of role-playing in video-game terms while Momo was thinking about it in the terms of a couple using it in the bedroom! 'The collar with a bell on it!' She cleared her throat, glancing to the side as she timidly spoke, "I mean... I wouldn't mind..." 

"Huh? Momo what are you talking about?" 

"Wh-What are you talking about?" 

"Oh, you know stuff like dnd and rpjs."  

"Eeip!" 

But before they could continue the conversation, they had reached the school gates with the first bell ringing, signaling that classes were going to start soon. 

Which was a much-needed relief for Momo after she realized they were talking about two different types of role-playing.         

The morning classes were regular enough. Mineta and Kaminari refused to even think about what happened yesterday, avoiding eye contact and conversations with Izuku. Although when Izuku and Momo entered the classroom, Kyoka had instinctively glanced towards the two of them. 

Izuku thought he was the only one that noticed her stare, turning to it.

Momo thought she was the only one that noticed her gaze, turning to it.    

He gave her his contagious freckled smile. 

And she twinkled her fingers with a tilted smile. 

Because of both their actions, Kyoka could feel a smile pull on her lips but she stopped herself, by rolling her eyes and shaking her head at their actions in a quiet chuckle to herself. 

Nothing of note other than that happened, so Master decided it was best if we just skip ahead to lunch, so we'll do that.

It was lunch. Izuku and Momo were standing next to each other by her desk about to make their way to the roof like usual, but then she remembered something important. She cupped her hands to her cheeks in regret and guilt. 

"Oh no! Mas-," She instantly stopped herself from blurting that out in the classroom, instead slurring it into his name, "M-Midoriya, I forgot to make lunchboxes."

Izuku was confused at her outburst before giving her a small smile. "Don't worry about that, I can just buy us something at the cafeteria." 

Just as he finished explaining, Kyoka walked up to them. "Hey, Yaomomo! Yo, Midoriya. Um, do you guys mind if we talk? You know, about the thing."

"Oh hello Kyoka, um yes we probably should, shouldn't we?" Momo had greeted her with a lively step in her bounce, also pressing her fingertips together. 

"Hey Jiro, and yeah w-we will, but I gotta go buy us some lunch. I'll meet you guys on the roof." Izuku left but not before giving his girlfriend a subtle nudge. 

"Eh?" Momo acted confused at the nudge until she realized Kyoka and her would be talking alone for a while. 

"Hey, dude buy me something too, it'll save me the trip." 

"Huh?" As Izuku was leaving he turned to give her a confused look but he saw Momo mouthing the word 'please' so he just shook his head and mumbled, "Fine, but you owe me." 

As he was leaving, the two neko-maids were heading to the roof and all Momo could feel was anxiety building in her stomach, it was the exact opposite of feeling butterflies swirl in her tummy. She inwardly gulped because there was a specific reason that Momo wanted to tell Kyoka about Izuku in private, 

'I hope she approves of Master being my boyfriend!..'
