"Momo Yaoyorozu, please come up to the stage." The voice woke up Diluc. He had fallen asleep during the speech and had only woken up when his fiancé's name had been spoken.
Momo seemed annoyed that she was going up without Diluc, which confused him as he didn't know what she was going up for.
She finally reached the stage and the sound of early teen's gasps could be heard from all over. They were going through puberty which meant that they's develop a crush on any female that had the displeasure of being attractive at the time.
Diluc was slightly annoyed that these children were gushing over his fiancé but he simply clicked his tongue and ignored it. It's not like he could just kill them all and be done with it, right? Well, obviously he could but he wouldn't.
"It's my privilege as an honor student to-" Momo's soft voice resounded throughout the auditorium using the speakers. Although Diluc didn't fall asleep since it was the voice of someone precious to him, he definitely didn't pay attention to what she said.
It was all the same script anyway.
After a while, she walked off the stage with a loud round of applause from both students and teachers alike. Momo sat back down next to Diluc.
"I thought you would've gotten 100% as well? What happened?" She questioned Diluc. Momo was well aware that he could've gotten a full score without breaking a sweat so she was justifiably concerned.
"I'm not putting attention on myself like that. Primary school kids and teachers don't care about high scores but the older you get, the more attention you get from high scores." He explained. Momo understood his personality so she just nodded and laid her head on his shoulder.
'Ah, I see... I guess I'll be getting unwanted attention after all.' Diluc hadn't accounted for the fact that teens would be so quick to latch onto a pretty girl they saw once, he was wrong. Currently about the whole male population that surrounded them was staring daggers at Diluc.
Regardless, he still fell asleep listening to the principal talk again.
After a good while, he was shaken awake by Momo. He took a second to re-adjust his vision and stood up to follow Momo as he didn't really know where to go. She took his hand and pulled him to his class with Izuku just behind the still sleepy Diluc.
Finding himself at the classroom, Diluc finally woke up completely and looked as if he hadn't slept through the whole orientation.
He entered the room with Momo and Izuku. All male eyes fell onto Momo, all female eyes fell onto Diluc. Both of the victims were equally uncomfortable with this.
Regardless, Momo dragged him to a set of four empty seats. Her intention was to be to the left of Diluc with Izuku being to the right. Unfortunately, kids were assholes. Seeing this, a waste of space sat down on one of the middle seats, there were no longer enough seats for all three of them.
Izuku was about to go find a seat for himself but Momo did something slightly unexpected. She sat Diluc down and sat on his lap, leaving the seat to the left empty for Izuku.
Everyone who was paying attention gasped at Momo's power move while those that weren't now definitely were. A look of victory washed over Momo's face as she glanced at the student who had taken her seat. Just before anyone could make a fuss about it, the teacher entered the room.
"Everyone quiet down. Ms. Momo, why are you on another student's lap?" The teacher asked in confusion.
"Ah, there weren't enough seats around to sit next to him." She responded matter-of-factly.
"Why don't you just sit somewhere else then?" The teacher asked in ever further confusion.
"This lap I sit on belongs to my fiancé." Momo replied. The whole class erupted in loud chatter instantly. Oooo'ing and Aaaa'ing along the way.
"I understand, you boy. Can you please find another seat?" The teacher asked the green-haired boy in the next seat which just so happened to be Izuku. Izuku panicked for a second and was about to stand and move until Momo once again spoke.
"That person is my fiancé's brother." She rejected his request for Izuku.
"Well then, can you please find another seat then?" The teacher asked while pointing at the boy who tried to be clever. He tsk'ed and stood up to find another seat.
Thankfully, as today is the first day, the teacher didn't force any work on the students and allowed them to talk and such as he showed the syllabus for the year.
The class peacefully passed by with some hate filled gazes sometimes directed towards Diluc. He was honestly surprised by how children of this age can be so desire-driven. Perhaps it's because they've just awakened their desires that they don't know how to control it?
Regardless, the time for the next class came. Different from primary school where you'd have one teacher for every subject, in middle school and above your teacher's would change depending on the class. This meant that there would be different people in different classes.
Thankfully, Izuku and Momo had been in basically all the same classes. In the next class, they all sat in the same seating arrangement. And everything went peacefully, until it didn't.
"Diluc!" A voice shouted and a small girl lunged into a hug with Diluc. He was surprised to say the least. It's not every day you get spear tackled into a hug. He looked down to see Himiko Toga, this confused him.
He wasn't quite sure what he did to create such great bonds in only one short meeting.
"Diluc! Gimme some blood! Please?!" She shouted as she rubbed up against his skin obsessively. This put Momo on the defensive, not only had another woman come out of nowhere, she also wanted some of his blood?
Himiko's words made it clear what Himiko loved him so much for; his blood which she seemed to love more than life itself. Diluc sighed and summoned a dagger to cut his wrist and summoned a transparent glass jar to let it flow into.
(A.N. In this sense 'love' isn't in a romantic way.)
"This should last you a while." He said as he got back into his seat. Himiko also got into a seat right in front of him with her new jar full of crimson blood.
"Wha-wha-what?" Izuku's mind was once again shutting down.
"Diluc, can you please explain what just happened?" Momo's voice ranged between threatening and concerned. The rest of the class marked Himiko as a borderline insane person and went back to their business.
"So basically, I met her a couple years back. Because of her quirk, she has an obsession with blood. And since I don't feel pain, I thought I'd let her see mine. That led her to like me it seems." He explained to the best of his ability. Other than the part about her blood obsession being a side-effect from her quirk, this was mainly speculation.
No one really knew why she loved his blood so much except Himiko and her mom.
Anyway, the day continued with Himiko paying more attention to her new jar of blood than the class and Diluc sleeping through all his classes.
Momo accompanied both Izuku and Diluc home, this was something she had often done during the last year of primary school.
They got home where Kath and Yuria greeted the three of them. Izuku nodded to them and went upstairs to work on his books of villains and heroes for the future while working out and Momo spent some time with Diluc and the two Dark Souls waifu's. Inko was still at work.
Meanwhile, at Himiko's house, Himiko had come through the front door and was greeted by her now single mother.
"Hey honey, how was your first day of school?" She asked with enthusiasm. Himiko's mother had always been one to believe in Himiko regardless of her quirk's side-effect or anything like that.
"It was great! I found Diluc again and he gave me some blood to take home!" Himiko responded while pulling out a jar of blood from her bag.
"Oh, that's great honey. Now we don't have to buy the blood bags anymore, right?" She asked her daughter.
"Nope! Diluc's blood is more beautiful that anyone else's! I'm sure it tastes better as well!" She said as she ran upstairs, ready to taste test. Her mother simply went back to watching the T.V. she had grown accustomed to her daughter's obsession and loved to hear about her conquest over her own condition.
