@kiragetsu said: slow dance! (shouto for momo!)
Nights like these remind Momo that her class isn’t solely heroics but high school too. All of Hero Class has been invited to the Gala, courtesy of the Yaoyorozu family’s invitation. The end of year quotas have been well beyond exceeded, and this means her father’s hosting the annual celebration. It may be unconventional for many of her classmates, but Momo’s grown accustomed to this sort of lifestyle. After a series of speeches and announcements, the guests take to the ballroom and enjoy however they see fit.
Somehow, between her chatting with friends and looking out to the dance floor, Shouto’s offered a hand as an invitation. Perhaps, the yearning in her eyes shows too easily as she watches her friends enjoying the night. Momo’s eyes look to him, wide and surprised. Internally, she wonders, Todoroki-san wants to dance with me? “ Uhm... ” Fingers fidget with the lace at the seam of her dress, and she can feel her cheeks turning red. Momo raises her hand to his, and they take to the dance floor together.
The song’s soft and melodic like something that might play from an antique music box. Others from class surround them in groups and a few broken-off pairs. The publicity of the moment makes her nervous, but she certainly won’t shy away from this. One hand settled upon his shoulder, her other hand held in his own. There’s something comforting about how close they are; he’s one of the few people she truly trusts in class. “ I’m glad you asked me, Todoroki-san. ” She whispers.
A thought crosses her mind, but it’s a rather daring thought. However, some part of her feels rather bold; perhaps, the music has swept her away --- or the company. With the next song beat, she opts to rest her head against his shoulder. That’s acceptable between friends, right? Although, her blush must give that away.
