Chapter Text

Momo tried to contain her excitement as she walked next to Izuku. Was it odd for her to be so excited to meet a new person? She wasn't sure, but ever since she was told about Himiko's operations, she had asked Izuku and his girlfriends to talk about the blonde girl in an attempt to help them manage the stress of their friend's recovery. While listening to the stories, Momo couldn't help but be somewhat fascinated by how they talked about Himiko, and now she very much wanted to meet the girl herself.

Momo also recently learned that Himiko would be joining them in the hero course once their second year started. So she and Izuku were heading to Himiko's room now to see if she was up for a tour of UA while Momo and Izuku made sure she was prepared for the coming year. "How has she been doing lately?"

"Good, but um..." Izuku stopped in the medical wing hall as he said. "She hasn't left the medical wing unless we're with her. Even when she needs to go to Hound Dog, she'll ask one of us to come with her and wait for her to be done."

Momo hummed as concern showed on her face. "Perhaps she's worried about getting lost? Or maybe it's something else."

"Either way, we'll just have to be sure to stick with her today," Izuku said as he started walking again and approached Himiko's door.

After a quick knock and announcing he was there, Himiko told them to enter, and Izuku smiled as he said. "Hey Himi, how are you doing this morning?"

Momo was slightly stunned when she looked at the girl sitting on the bed. She had only ever seen Himiko, the one time while she was mentally broken and violent. Her blonde hair was a tangled mess that Himiko was currently trying to wrangle. The sleeve of her shirt was ridden up, showing the large jagged scar on her bicep, and a small pile of eyepatches was sitting between the girl's legs. Himiko looked over, and Momo did her best not to stare at the scarred closed eye.

Himiko locked eyes with Momo before muttering, "Oh shit."

She quickly looked away before grabbing a red eyepatch with white vampire teeth on it and slipping it on. "Izu, you didn't say you had a guest."

Izuku looked a bit guilty as he took a seat. "Sorry, I thought you were ready by now."

Himiko huffed and stopped brushing her hair since the eyepatch strap was in the way. "I sleep in late. Unlike you all, I don't have anything to do."

Momo sat down tentatively as Izuku laughed. "Well, today we have something if you're up to it, but first. This is my friend and the class representative Momo Yaoyorozu."

Momo nodded. "Hello, Toga. Izuku and the others told me a lot about you."

Himiko's eye scanned Momo as she hummed, and Momo found herself wanting to bolt from the chair. It felt like she had just cornered a villain, and they were looking for any weakness to exploit. Then as quick as the feeling came, it disappeared as Himiko blushed a bit and patted at her hair. "It's nice to meet you. Sorry, you have to see me in such an uncute way."

Himiko shot Izuku a glare. "Someone didn't text ahead to tell me."

Izuku held his hands up in surrender. "I'm sorry, that's my bad."

Momo giggled and missed Himiko's eye shooting over to scan the black-haired girl's face as she laughed. "It's no problem, Toga. As Izuku said, it's his fault."

Izuku sighed as Himiko nodded in agreement before saying. "So, what was the thing you wanted to do?"

"We were wondering if you'd like a tour of UA," Izuku said tentatively. As the words left his mouth, he saw a brief moment of fear pass over Himiko's face, but she was nothing if not a master at controlling her expression.

"You two are gonna show me around the school?"

Momo nodded. "Yes, we both have no plans today, so I thought it would be a good time to get to know each other, so you have another person you'll recognize when you join the class and for you to get to know the school."

Himiko raised an eyebrow as she looked at Izuku. "Where's Mina and Toru?"

Izuku sighed. "They said they were going on a shopping date and that I wasn't allowed to come with them. I'm guessing they're getting me a gift, but I'm not sure why it's not my birthday or our anniversary."

Momo watched as Himiko wiggled her eyebrows and practically purred. "It's lingerie. Someone's getting lucky tonight."

Both Izuku and Momo blushed fiercely. Izuku blushed because he immediately imagined his girlfriends in lingerie, and Momo blushed because she was raised in what some would say was a proper household in which this sort of talk did not happen.

"Anyways," Izuku said quickly as he stood up. "You wanna go on a tour?"

Himiko thought about it for a moment before nodding. "Fine, but let me finish getting ready."

Izuku and Momo excused themselves, and a few minutes later, Himiko stepped out dressed in a baggy black hoodie, the same red eyepatch from earlier, a skirt that was the same shade of red, and a pair of slightly torn black stockings. Momo admired Himiko's hairstyle of two messy buns. She thought it fit the blonde girl's style very well. Himiko huffed as she stuck her hands in the pocket of her jacket. "Alright, where to first?"

____________________________________________________________________

Himiko pushed down her fear as she walked towards the end of the medical wing. She reminded herself as they got closer and closer to the rest of UA that she had Izuku on one side and Momo on the other. She would be fine. If someone was with her, there wouldn't be a chance of getting taken again. She wasn't scared of the medical wing. She knew the halls and rooms well by this point, it was her territory, but the idea of going anywhere past Recovery Girls office alone sent her mind back to being kidnapped, dropped into the UHD, and all the hell that came after. Himiko bit her cheek as they passed Recovery Girls office.

As they walked, the idle conversation that Momo started up helped keep Himiko distracted. Between pointing out different paths and rooms and telling Himiko about the services the school had available for students, the black-haired girl engaged in small talk, which Himiko wasn't a huge fan of, but it was better than prying questions about her past, so she did her best to keep up her cheerful smile as she talked.

"So as cool as this place is... can I get some breakfast?" Himiko asked as they stopped by the front entrance.

"Oh dear, I'm sorry, Toga, I didn't realize you haven't eaten," Momo said, and Himiko shrugged.

"It's fine, so you got a lunchroom here?"

"Yeah, we do. Come on." Izuku said as he started to head towards the lunchroom. "They should still be serving breakfast."

They were still serving breakfast, and Himiko put together a large meal. As she ate, she asked. "So, how did you two end up friends?"

Momo spoke up quickly, which caught Himiko's attention. "Izuku helped me a lot throughout the year, and since he is the vice rep, we spent a lot of time around each other and just became friends."

"I guess that's how it happens. I found Izu pretty interesting and started hanging around him, then I met Mina and Toru, and things got pretty fun."

"Yes, things do tend to get... interesting around Izuku and the others," Momo said as she looked over to Izuku, who shrugged.

"I told you I get into trouble a lot. Toru and Mina have spent so much time around me that they've started doing it too."

"Well, you three are always backing each other up in that cute supportive way, so I'm not worried. "Himiko said as she went back to her food.

Once Himiko was done, the tour continued until Himiko had seen most of the main building and was shown where the dorms were located.

_____________________________________________________________________

As Izuku and the others got back to Himiko's room, his phone went off, and as he pulled it out, he said. "Oh, I should take this; I'll be back in a minute."

Himiko watched Izuku step away as he answered his phone, and once he was out of earshot, she said. "So you had a crush on Izu at some point?"

Momo jumped and looked at Himiko with a panicked look that she did her best to hide, but Himiko is good at reading people. "I uh... no-"

"You don't have to hide it. I'm just curious why you don't seem to be crushing on him anymore." Himiko said as she opened the door to her room and motioned for Momo to follow. "You don't have to tell me. I don't really have any business asking, but as I said, I'm curious."

Momo looked at Izuku as he talked then back to Himiko. "Do you mind if I ask you a question afterward?"

HImiko hummed before saying. "Sure, that's fair."

The two girls entered Himiko's room, and the blonde quickly plopped down onto her bed as Momo sat down. "So why ain't you crushing on Izu anymore? He's a hottie and has a cute personality. Did he do something stupid?"

Momo chuckled a bit and shook her head. "No, he didn't do anything wrong. Over the year, I simply developed feelings for him and confessed that I only felt that way about him and not Toru or Mina." Momo shrugged as she said. "After that, he turned me down. I took some time to sort things out, and now we're simply friends."

Himiko hummed as she kicked her legs idly. "Hm, interesting. Do you not like girls like that or..."

Momo blushed a bit and looked away. "I... have found some girls attractive in a romantic way before, but I simply don't see Toru or Mina that way."

"Interesting." Himiko said before pausing for a moment then continuing, "What did you want to ask me?"

Momo cleared her throat before saying. "Well, you asking about Izuku like that made me wonder. The way they talk about you and how much you seem to care about them, I was just wondering why did you not pursue a relationship with them?"

Himiko raised an eyebrow before saying. "Do you mean besides wanting to keep my past about being a villain who's killed people a secret from them?"

Momo paled a bit. She hadn't actually been told the extent of Himiko's crimes, just that she was classified as a villain. Himiko clicked her tongue. "Sorry, I kinda assumed you knew all the details."

"I-it's... well I want to say ok, but it's a large detail I didn't know..." Momo took a deep breath and said, "Izuku, Toru, and Mina trust and care for you, so I will try to avoid making judgments until I know you better."

Himiko smiled a bit at that. She knew not everyone would be this willing to give her a chance, but that didn't matter. She just needed to keep working hard to prove them wrong. "Thank you... so uh yeah, other than being a murderer, I was always satisfied just being near them and enjoying the warmth I felt coming off them as they loved each other."

Momo watched as Himiko let out an airy sort of laugh that sounded more real than any other time she laughed today. "It's funny. Other people loving each other and occasionally showing me some of that love saved me from myself."

____________________________________________________________________

Izuku stepped away from Himiko and Momo as he answered his phone. "Hello."

"Heyo Izuku! What's up? It's been so long since we've seen each other." Shade said, putting on her civilian personality.

"Oh, hey Nishi," Izuku said, making sure to use the fake name she uses. Idly he wondered if all underground heroes were as paranoid as her. "How have you been?"

"Super great, my guy, but I've got an issue y'know the bar I work at?"

"Yeah, I do. What's the issue?"

"Well, we're a little short-staffed, and we got this big event coming up, so I was wondering if you'd be willing to come down and help us out."

Izuku chewed his lip as he thought. They weren't first-years anymore, but they also weren't technically second-years yet, and Aizawa did say they weren't supposed to do work studies until school started again. "School is gonna be starting up again soon-"

"Oh, no problem, the party isn't for a while, and we can manage till you get into the flow of your new school year. Just be sure to hit me up when you wanna make some money."

"I'll keep that in mind," Izuku said before saying goodbye and hanging up. As he turned around, he saw Momo and Himiko weren't in the hallway, so he went up and knocked on the door.

Himiko told him to come in, and he saw the two girls chatting idly. "How's it going?"

Momo smiled. "It's going well. We were just chatting a little bit."

Izuku hummed and said. "Well, I'm gonna head back to the dorms. I've got some paperwork I need to fill out before the school year starts."

"I think I'll stick around for a bit and chat with Toga a little longer," Momo said.

"Alright. Text me if you need anything, Himiko." Izuku said as he left. Himiko gave an affirmative, and the two girls went back to talking.

___________________________________________________________________

Izuku hummed as he walked up to Mina's room. His girlfriends had gotten back from their date and quickly scampered off, saying they'd text him in a minute. Izuku knocked on the door, and Mina told him to open it.

He hated that Himiko was right, but at the same time, his girlfriend's laying on Mina's bed made his brain sort of stop working as he closed the door. Mina and Toru were holding each other close as they looked at Izuku. The two girls were dressed in similarly styled lingerie, with Mina wearing black while Toru in her visible form wore a white set.

Izuku cleared his throat and tried to organize the various thoughts and feelings running around inside him. "Um... wow. I uh-"

Toru and Mina were blushing hard, but Mina said. "Himiko was right, he's shorting out."

Izuku's eye twitched, and while really doing his best and failing to not stare at them too hard, said. "So this was Himiko's idea?"

Toru nodded. "We wanted to do something special, but we weren't sure what. Himi teased us and said we should do this... do you like it?"

Izuku nodded quickly. "Y-yeah, a lot, but um... why? Today's not really anything special."

"Because we love you also recently, I've wanted to see to see Toru in sexy underwear like this," Mina said as she shifted a bit, and Izuku's eyes were drawn to her thighs and ass.

"After Himi teased us, I realized I really wanted to see Mina like this too," Toru said as she started to feel up her girlfriend.

Izuku hummed and nodded as he approached. "Guess we're eating dinner late."

His girlfriends nodded and pulled him into bed.

Notes:

a small chapter of Momo and Himiko meeting with some random sexy stuff at the end because I felt like it.

The next chapter will be the start of their second year and then eventually plot stuff will happen.
