chapter 12: Packed Lunch
"Uh... hey?"
Momo walked up to Eraserhead and stood next to him.
"Talk about yourself I guess." He mumbled, zipping himself into a yellow sleeping bag. He slid himself down to the ground and Momo just stared at her audience.
"I'm Momo Shigaraki I guess." It was the name she was told to use, as it was All For One's last name. It must've triggered some sort of reaction from Midoriya, because he looked scared. "Um... I don't have much to say..."
Midoriya raised a shaky hand and asked "are you related to Tomura Shigaraki?"
Momo stared at him, wondering what would make him happy. Maybe he'd be happy to have his two "children" think of each other as siblings. Maybe it'd blow some sort of cover. Momo would gag and scream "absolutely not", but she didn't know what would make her master happy.
"Yes. I am. We're cousins." Cousins. They'd be cousins. She couldn't think of being his sister anyways. Momo got a tiny kick out of her audience's reactions to her new little family tree. "Mr.Eraserhead, I'm finished." She whispered to him. He was asleep so she looked for instruction from a classmate.
"You can sit next to Todoroki." Iida motioned to the ever so iconic member of 1-A, Shoto Todoroki. He raised his hand and Momo walked to the back of the classroom.
Nezu said those two decided to save her. She understood Tenya, if he even remembered her, but why this kid. She didn't know him. Or at least didn't think she did. And why would a few kids save her life after she kidnapped their classmate. Something didn't click there.
✨✨✨✨
The entire class was embarrassing. She got weird looks out of no where from these kids. Some of them didn't care whatsoever though, which she was grateful for. She couldn't blame them for those weird looks she was getting, so she didn't let it bother her.
The boy in front of her made her want to go back into solitary confinement. She was disgusted by him. He make little glances back when Eraserhead told them to pass their papers back. And he was very obvious with his glances. It was disgusting.
Everything felt silent. Like they were anticipating her movements. Was she going to make some weapon to murder them? Did she have a chip installed? Was she some sleeper agent. What was she going to do. That seemed to pass everyone's thoughts.
"You know you're wearing the wrong shoes, right?" Todoroki said during the partner work time they got.
"Their my cell slippers. I'm waiting for my school shoes." She whispered back, letting her ankles roll around in the practically cloth flats she wore, they were rather comfy and her black knee highs felt better. She'd have to see if she could keep wearing them. They were insanely comfortable.
"Do you know any of this stuff? Like. An ounce?" Todoroki asked.
"Not much. I guess I know a bit." Momo mumbled. "Sorry I'm not going to be the most useful partner this year. At least. Not for a while. But I'm good at math and stuff like that." She perked up. "And I'm fluent in English and French!"
Todoroki shrugged it off and she felt somewhat happy of herself.
She did know those damn languages. Maybe the people that taught it to her were assholes. But she knew french. She never got to use it but she knew it!
✨✨✨
"Go to lunch already."
Momo stayed back for a moment. She wasn't sure what to do and she didn't want to have the awkward conversation with anyone asking to sit with them. That'd be really weird. Class B would certainly come after her.
"You can go eat now." Aizawa said.
"I didn't know what I'd really be doing. I don't want to be... I think they... I don't think they'd want to be near me." Momo muttered. "I don't want to eat much yet either. My quirk comes from how much I eat and I don't want anyone thinking I'm going to hurt them."
"Go hang out in the teachers lounge. Midnight can buy a drink or something for you. She was looking forward to eating with you anyway." Aizawa shrugged. Momo nodded and stood up.
"This way, right?" She asked, pointing to the right. Aizawa nodded.
"It has a sign as well, so just walk on in." Aizawa said.
Momo nodded and stood up to begin walking. She didn't expect anyone to still linger, especially not waiting for her, but of course, someone had to wait for her.
"Shigaraki! Its a pleasure to meet you!" It was Midoriya again? He asked about her relation to Tomura, right? She couldn't remember very well, which was weird since it was... what. An hour ago?
"Were you waiting for me?"
"Oh, well, I guess since I'm the class Vice President, I thought I should've met you personally. Talked to you first I guess."
"And why didn't the president himself stay with you?" She chuckled.
"He had other matters to attend to, but I'm here right now! Izuku Midoriya." He said, holding out his hand for her.
"I guess it's awkward for you to call me Shigaraki. You can just call me Momo. Or any nicknames you prefer if there's something wrong with that?"
"Oh, there's nothing wrong with Momo. Um... would you like to eat lunch with me today? Well, me and my friends I guess."
"Depends."
"It's just Iida, Uraraka, Asui, and Todoroki."
"Oh, uh... no thank you. I actually eat with Midnight in the teachers lounge." She said. "For everyone else's safety. I don't think we'll be seeing too much of each other outside of class."
"Oh, well that's alright. I hope to see you around still though!"
Stain probably would've loved him. But, hey. Momo didn't really care about Stain. Especially after what he had done to Tensei. She wanted to kill him the second he walked into the base, and he knew it. He glared back at her too. It was funny.
Izuku had already ran the other way as Momo continued walking to the teacher's lounge.
When she walked into the teachers lounge, Midnight looked at her and sighed.
"Finally! Cmon, we're gonna eat in this room." Midnight said, dragging Momo to a meeting room. It was a quiet little area with two couches and a coffee table.
"How was your day ma'm?" Momo asked as Nemuri slid her a small wooden box. "What's that?"
"Oh, it's a bento. I made it personally as I am your personal caretaker."
"My what?"
"Since I advocated for you at our meeting, and I certainly was the most vocal about convincing Nezu, he appointed me as you main caretaker." Midnight shrugged, laying back against the couch. "We'll be spending a lot of time together. Like, this weekend, I'll take you shopping or something. You can also call me Kayama rather than my work name. That's weird."
Momo was confused.
"So you're in charge of me? Like a mom?"
"Pretty much. So please behave."
"I will, I promise. But... am I going back to the cell tonight?" She asked, hoping it was a yes. She wasn't a fan of staying in whatever dorms Midoriya was talking about.
"Oh, you have no idea about the renovations, I forgot. So the teachers and students have newer dorm systems. And we can't have you staying in the teachers dorm for... obvious reasons, plus Eri is staying there, so we're having you stay in the Class 1-A dorms."
Momo didn't really know how obvious those reasons were. She picked up the chopsticks in front of her and thought about it instead of listening to whatever Nemuri had to say.
"I decorated your dorm. I hope you like light purple. I didn't have too much to work with because I was working from my budget." She said. "It's not gonna compare to whatever you got from All For One."
"It's fine."
"Are you related to him in any way?"
"I like to think so." She said, taking a bite of the rice she had been given.
"No seriously. Uncle? Bio dad? Adoptive father?"
"I simply owe him my life. I couldn't tell you much other than that without feeling as though
I've told too much. Most people who leave him die the second they walk outside. I don't intend on being one of those people."
"Understandable, but you have to understand how important it is to get information on him."
"I understand, but I'd rather be alive in a cell rather than dead because I betrayed him. I'm sorry. Genuinely."
"That's a shame, but I guess it's just human." Nemuri hummed it off. "We can come back to it later when you feel more comfortable. But for now, tell me. How's the bento?"
"I haven't eaten too much, sorry!" She apologized with a polite hand over her lips. "I promise I'll eat all of this, right in front of you ma'm." She apologized over and over again, taking quick bites of the packed lunch.
"Don't eat too fast. You don't get to taste it well. And you might choke. But honestly, is it good? I'm having a fight with Mirko and Ms.Joke over who makes better food."
"It's nice. I've never actually had this before." Momo said, looking at the fried dish.
"I forget, i forget. You and Iida used to be friends. He's a fancy boy. Have you spoken to him again?"
"I haven't. It's been too hectic for me today. I spoke with Midoriya and Todoroki though. They're nice."
"How about Bakugo?"
"I think he'd prefer to avoid me. I'd like to do the same to be honest..." Momo thinned her lips. "It'd be an awkward conversation. And talking with Todoroki and Iida, especially Iida again. It'd certainly be a... conversation."
"Well you should certainly thank him. You'd probably be in Tartarus if Iida hadn't picked you up that night."
"I keep hearing about that. Just scared nothing will reconcile between us since I'm so different. Honestly."
"Well, nothing will happen if you never talk to him. But you also won't get to see if he wants to be friends again. So think about that."
"Ah, I got it. Thank you."
✨✨✨✨
