BakuMomo spend the majority of their time sleeping together.

•When it first happened, they weren’t even together. They were in the common room and due to a couple of knuckle heads roughhousing, they’re short 3 couches. This means there’s only one good couch, the two seater on the side, and when Momo enters the common room at 2:30 am expecting it to be empty, she finds herself in a predicament. The couch is part taken by Bakugou, someone she never expects to find out of his room or training. She has half the mind to turn back and return to her quarters, but he’s already seen her and she doesn’t want for him to get the wrong idea.

•She sits down slowly and cautiously, making sure he keeps as much space between them she can, as to not upset or disturb him. The silence starts out awkward, but it eases to be barely noticeable with her preoccupied with reading. The next time she looks at the time it’s 3:40 am and it’s only then she remembers the boy on the other side of her. She chances a peek and her stomach flutters at the sight of his peaceful and calm expression in his sleep. She notices the way his head is leaning to the side and frowns. He’ll probably have a neck ache, for sure, she thinks. She creates a neck pillow and carefully situates around his neck, adjusting him to rest in a more comfortable position. Her fingers end up brushing agains his exposed arm and she finds that his skin is freezing. She creates a blanket, and drapes it over him. Content with her good deed, and more importantly his peaceful slumber, she returns to read a bit more knowing that it would be futile to go to bed now.

Prev

•The next time it happens the class in on a trip. It’s a special occasion and surprise apparently. They are assigned seats in the bus and Momo is seated next to Bakugou. He’s quiet and quick to claim the window seat, she’s just skittish and tired since she’s still having trouble falling asleep.

•It’s not the first time she’s sat next to Bakugou, but it’s just as awkward, if not more thinking back on how they haven’t acknowledged what happened the last time. Well it was he who hadn’t acknowledged anything, not that it was a big deal to begin with.

•The ride ends up being long and the motion on the moving vehicle actually puts Momo into a light sleep. Bakugou notices her head leaning forward about to hit the seat in front of her and he frowns. He took the window, so she really has nowhere to lean. He lets out a sigh and goes to readjust her so she’ll be a bit more comfortable.

Original Prompt/HC

Bakumomo spend the majority of their time sleeping together.

•The next time it happens, it’s Momo falling asleep again. Their trip is a type of resort/getaway but they still have to complete exercises so it’s not really a getaway at all.

•They have been getting a majority of group or pair exercises to drive home the importance of teamwork as no hero works completely alone. They have to be able to adapt to working with other fellow heroes. This has been putting a strain on Bakugou’s already low patience, so both Momo and Aoyama are nervous when they get grouped together with him. Aoyama is surprisingly quiet and meek but she’s no different, neither wants to be the one to make Bakugou blow his fuse.

•When walking around the wooded area, Bakugou finally explodes on how much of a waste of time this is. The outburst takes Momo by surprise, and she ends up tripping over a couple of vines and falling backwards. After a moment of shock, Aoyama moves to help her up first but when he tries to pull her up, her ankle throbs causing her to wince and squeak in pain.

•Bakugou hasn’t said anything yet, but he walks over to her and pushes Aoyama out of the way telling him to go ahead back and let Aizawa know they’re coming back with an injured Momo. Aoyama all but bolts ahead without protest and Bakugou then focuses on Momo.

•”Can you walk on it at all?” She tries to take a step, but the pain returns and she goes to brace herself on a tree when he steadies her. “Get on my back”

•She stutters, not wanting to cause him trouble and offers to make a crutch. He shoots her down telling her that’d be more of a waste of time since she’d be slow as fuck, him carrying her would be quicker. He helps her on his back, and she feels awkward because she doesn’t know where to put her hands. His arms are under her thighs, but they have to be with the way he’s carrying her. In the midst of her overthinking, he apologizes with a simple sorry. She assures him it’s not his fault that she wasn’t paying attention to her surroundings and he scoffs in return.

•He ends up jostling her a bit and it makes her feel guilty, she’s not the lightest girl. He finally stops and tells her to just lean on his back, so the weight would be easier to handle, she’s making it hard by leaning back. She blushingly obliges, thankful no one can see her face, and ends up letting her arms wrap loosely around his neck/shoulder area. Her head ends up resting on his back near the shoulder blade and she lets out a small yawn. He smells earthy, smokey, and spicy, and it reminds her of the scent he left in the pillow back then…

•When he finally notices that’s she’s sleeping, he slows his steady pace, not wanting to wake her up. He tries to look over his shoulder but can only see half of her face. He gives up and curses because he’s feeling something he’s not familiar with and he doesn’t fucking want it, but he doesn’t want it to stop either.

•They finally make it back around 15 minutes later and she’s still asleep on his back. Aizawa sends them inside to the recovery area and it’s not until he has Momo situated on the infirmary bed that he curses remember Aoyama. The good for nothing——

•After the retreat/ankle fiasco, the two slowly merge into a unique type of friendship. Basically, Bakugou acknowledges Momo, and they sometimes talk, but to Momo that’s definitely a friendship.

•Bakugou is the second to confront her about her sleeping issues, the first being Jirou, and she’s rather surprised he noticed. She doesn’t know why she can’t sleep, and when she tells him that she’s surprised again when he doesn’t scoff for not knowing. Instead he changes the subject to needing her expertise in studying for the upcoming exam.

•Their study session is set in the common room past 12 am by Bakugou and Momo thinks that maybe it’s because he doesn’t want the rest of the class to know she’s helping him. He’s very prideful and she guess she understands. They study in silence with him asking her to clarify a couple of questions and solutions. It’s after a while that she thinks that he really doesn’t need her help at all. He’s only technically asked her 3 questions in the span of an hour. She ends up debating wether or not to ask him why wanted her help when he clearly didn’t need it. Her curiosity wins in the end and she asks him.

•”I thought it would give you something to do. Your nerdy ass self loves studying right? If you ain’t gonna sleep, might as well be useful.” “But you don’t really need me? How am I being useful? It’s 2 in the morning, is this not also disrupting your sleep?” He doesn’t answer her and they continue to study in the quiet.

•Its about an hour later where she starts to feel drowsy and when she looks up Bakugou is slowly nodding in and out of sleep. Momo takes a moment to register what she’s seeing because the boy has never looked so vulnerable. She slowly goes to shake his hand and he’s startled awake with a “what the fuck”.

•”I’m sorry, it’s just that you were falling asleep. I think maybe we should call it a night?” He doesn’t respond immediately, but begins to close his books and she follows his lead. They start to walk back to their room and before they split she bids him a good night. He’s still before thanking her causing her to smile but shake her head.

•”I did nothing really, you’re efficient without my help.” “I wasn’t thanking you for your help, I was thanking you for your company.” He walks away before she can respond to that, but then realizes she wouldn’t know how to anyway. She walks slowly to her room replaying his gratitude and when she finally makes it to her room, she finds that she has no trouble falling asleep right away after that with his words still ringing in her head.
