Chapter 36- Pool Day

Chapter 36: Pool Day

The first faint light of dawn filtered through the curtains of Izuku Midoriya's cabin, casting soft shadows across the room. As consciousness slowly seeped into his mind, he found himself enveloped in a warmth that was both physical and emotional.

Blinking away the remnants of sleep, Izuku shifted slightly, his senses gradually coming alive. It was then that he realized the source of the comforting embrace that had surrounded him throughout the night.

Momo Yaoyorozu lay beside him, her arms wrapped securely around his waist, holding him close in the intimate embrace of sleep. Her breathing was slow and steady, her soft exhales tickling the skin of his neck where her head rested.

Izuku couldn't help but smile at the sight, his heart swelling with affection for the girl who had captured his heart. He gently extricated himself from her embrace, careful not to disturb her peaceful slumber, and slipped out of bed with practiced ease.

Padding quietly across the room, Izuku gathered a fresh change of clothes and made his way to the small ensuite bathroom. The sound of running water filled the air as he turned on the shower, the warm spray cascading over his tired muscles in soothing waves.

As he lathered shampoo into his hair, Izuku's mind wandered back to the events of the previous day—the laughter and camaraderie of their pool day, the joy of being surrounded by friends and loved ones.

But above all else, it was the memory of Momo's tender embrace that lingered in his mind, filling him with a warmth that transcended the physical confines of the cabin.

Lost in thought, Izuku barely registered the passage of time as he luxuriated in the warmth of the shower. It was only when he heard a soft knock on the bathroom door that he snapped back to reality, the sound pulling him from his reverie.

"Momo?" he called out, his voice muffled by the steam-filled air.

The door cracked open, revealing Momo's silhouette against the soft light filtering in from the bedroom. She stood there, wrapped in a fluffy bathrobe, a gentle smile playing on her lips.

"Mind if I join you?" she asked, her voice soft and inviting.

Izuku's heart skipped a beat at the sight of her, his cheeks flushing with a mixture of surprise and anticipation. "Of course not," he replied, his voice barely above a whisper.

With a smile, Momo stepped into the shower, the warm water enveloping her in its comforting embrace. As they stood there together, bathed in the soft glow of the morning light, Izuku felt a sense of peace wash over him, knowing that no matter what challenges lay ahead, as long as he had Momo by his side, everything would be okay.

UNTIL

Mina's sudden intrusion into the room shattered the tranquility of the moment, her voice cutting through the air with a mixture of curiosity and concern.

"What are you doing?" she exclaimed, her eyes widening in surprise as she took in the sight of clothes strewn haphazardly on the floor and steam billowing out from underneath the closed bathroom door.

Izuku's heart skipped a beat at the unexpected interruption, his cheeks flushing crimson as he struggled to find the right words. "Uh, Mina, it's not what you think!" he stammered, his voice tinged with embarrassment.

Momo, equally flustered by the intrusion, stepped out of the shower, hastily wrapping a towel around herself as she joined Izuku by the door. "We were just... uh, taking a shower," she explained, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment.

Mina's eyes widened in realization, a mischievous grin spreading across her face. "Oh, I see how it is! Sorry for barging in, lovebirds," she teased, winking playfully at them as she turned to leave the room.
