The next day, I woke up with Momo fully on top of me, her breasts sandwiching my head between them. My morning wood was firmly positioned between her legs and ass cheeks. I slowly got up and sighed, "This girl is going to be the end of me." Still half asleep, I started making my way towards the bathroom when she woke up, looking at me with half-lidded eyes as she groggily spoke: "Yawn~ What happened? Why are you getting up so early? The sun hasn't even come up yet."
"You know we slept in the cinema, right? This room has no windows, so there won't be any sunlight here anytime soon. Also, I have to go to the bathroom to take care of this," I explained, pointing at my erection.
She looked confused at first, then realized where we were and blushed at her own mistake. Furrowing her eyebrows in confusion, she seemed to recall what happened between us yesterday and looked down in embarrassment. "Oh, okay. Just come back here when you're done. We still have a lot of things I want to do together."
I noticed something strange about Momo but couldn't quite tell what it was in the dark room, especially being half asleep.
After that, I quickly left for the bathroom. I found it empty and went inside to relieve myself. What I didn't notice was that Momo had secretly followed me. She began peeking through the keyhole of the door. For some reason, her vision was much sharper than yesterday, so she could clearly see my form masturbating in the shower. Her breath hitched, and she started feeling hot just like yesterday. Her hand drifted down to her pussy, and she began rubbing herself through her now dampening panties. She matched my pace, and as I finished, so did she. While I cleaned up, she quickly ran back to our temporary sleeping space.
When I came out of the bathroom, I noticed a sticky liquid on the floor in front of the door, but I just shrugged it off. When I returned to Momo, she seemed a lot calmer, although she was blushing, and her face turned even redder when she saw me. I was about to ask if she was alright, but then I noticed something different about her. Her pupils were almost glowing, a bright golden yellow, and her hair, which now had silver highlights, seemed to shine when light hit it.
"Does your quirk do something to your hair? Last time I saw, it was fully a deep onyx color," I asked.
"No, my quirk has nothing to do with my hair. What are you talking about?" She looked genuinely confused.
I quickly took out my phone and snapped a picture of her, then handed her the phone. "Here, look. Your hair has silver highlights now. Don't worry, I'll delete the photo."
She stared at the image in shock and began to panic, so I tried to calm her down. "Hey, don't panic! Maybe your quirk matured, like when mine did, and I got these markings. My eyes and hair changed too. Maybe it's something related to your quirk or what happened to us yesterday."
She managed to gather herself somewhat and followed my lead. I suggested we take her to her parents to help figure out what was happening. She stopped and said she wanted to change first, which made sense. Who would want to meet their parents in just their underwear? But I had a sneaking suspicion that it might have something to do with the sweet smell coming from her. 'She must have been sweaty after being warmed by my body heat all night,' I thought—though I later learned that this was a complete misunderstanding on my part.
When Momo finished cleaning herself, she came out wearing a comfy-looking home dress. She grabbed my hand, as usual, and led me towards her parents' office. I was a bit nervous about meeting Mr. Yaoyorozu after what we'd seen last night, but Momo didn't seem fazed at all. She was more worried about the sudden change in her appearance.
We arrived in front of the large office and knocked on the door. Soon, we heard a voice inviting us in. The room was spacious, more like a small library in my opinion. Mrs. and Mr. Yaoyorozu were working on business papers when Mr. Yaoyorozu noticed the strange change in his daughter's appearance.
Momo began explaining, "My hair suddenly changed after I woke up. Adams-san thinks it might be related to my quirk evolving, since he experienced similar changes due to his quirk." Mr. Yaoyorozu nodded and asked us all to follow him to the indoor gym to test out the theory.
As we walked, I had a strange feeling and decided to call Mei to confirm my suspicions. I excused myself and said I'd be back in a minute. Mei answered almost immediately, sounding sleep-deprived: "Oh, thank god you called! You have no idea how confused I've been these past few days. I didn't want to bother you during the rescue operation."
I became serious. "What happened? Are you hurt?"
"No, nothing like that. I've just changed a lot recently. First, my quirk evolved. My eyes now turn a pinkish-red when I activate my quirk. I still have my crosshair-shaped pupils, but they now have red concentric circles around them, like a magnifying glass. And that's not all. My quirk doesn't just zoom in on things far away; I can now see anything within a 10-kilometer radius, down to the tiniest detail. I just have to concentrate. It's a bit like how you described your 'Eye of the Universe.'"
I sighed. This might be what's happening with Momo too. I asked, "Did these changes start happening after I kissed your forehead and asked you to be my girlfriend officially at the camp when we separated, so you could go and be with your family?"
She thought for a moment. "Yeah, I guess it started around that time. How did you know?"
I sighed in exaggeration because I finally understood what Jack meant yesterday. My power was basically giving smaller aspects of itself to the people around me, altering their quirks and making them stronger. Mei had gotten a weaker version of my all-seeing Eye of the Universe, but hers worked outside of the vault and had a limit. If I had to guess, Momo might be getting a small upgrade to her quirk's production capabilities, since mine is only limited by the amount of energy my body can accept and store to create a Unit.
"Don't worry about it too much. Something similar happened here as well. I'll explain the full details in person, with her there to confirm them. Please don't get mad, but after everything that happened, I kissed her forehead and promised her—and myself—that we'd be friends for life."
I waited for the shouting to start, but it never came. Instead, Mei responded calmly, "Why would I be angry? Yes, I'm a bit annoyed that I didn't get to meet her and judge if she's fit for you, but I trust you. It's completely understandable, given our age and raging hormones, that you'd have a hard time controlling yourself. And if she's as beautiful as I imagine, I can see why you'd want to sleep with her if she was okay with it. I'm, however, a bit disappointed that I couldn't be your first. I've been thinking for months about how to approach the topic without coming off as weird. Now that we're officially together, I thought we could do it soon. Also..."
Before she could continue, I cut her off. "Wait, slow down. I didn't sleep with her. We just had a weird interaction that could be considered heavy petting or something like that, but we never had sex. Also, why are you so nonchalant about this? And what do you mean you were planning something?!"
I was so lost in thought that I temporarily forgot about Momo's situation.
Mei continued, "Oh, I just always guessed that you'd end up with multiple women, given your great looks, amazing charisma, and kind nature. Plus, with your quirk's nearly unlimited stamina, you'd probably need more than one person to satisfy you. I thought you already had experience with your puppets since they all deeply respect and practically worship you. Both of the Makima's are clearly infatuated with you. I don't see it as really making love to another person—more like advanced masturbation." She pondered to herself.
I started getting a headache from Mei's strange logic. "But how can you even suggest such a thing? Don't women want their partners all to themselves? I know I wouldn't like to see you with another guy."
She just laughed and said, "Of course, I'd love to keep you all to myself. But, given my physical limits and how much I love you, I can live with it. You promised me we'd always be together, so I'm not worried about you replacing me or stopping loving me. And for what it's worth, neither of us wants to see another man in our beds. I can assure you, apart from you, I'm only attracted to the bodies of other women."
I was completely stumped. 'Wait, Mei is bisexual?' I thought. "Okay, I get that, but how are you so casual about me basically telling you I cheated on you without your knowledge?"
Mei sighed heavily and said, "Look, I was really hurt at first, but when you told me that you promised her you'd stay friends forever—almost the same thing you promised me—that hurt quickly turned into just minor annoyance. Even though I'd appreciate it if you told me beforehand next time, unless it's a puppet, I know you wouldn't make such a big promise to someone unless you fully meant it. Over the years I've known you, with all the people you've met, you've always tried to keep your promises. But you've never promised something this big to anyone else, not even Nezu, who practically worships you and gave you a place to stay. So, once again, I'm going to say this: I trust your judgment. And since you said we'll talk about it in person when I meet her, I can make my own judgments then."
I felt like a huge weight had been lifted off my shoulders. I truly didn't deserve Mei.
"Thank you so much for your words and trust. I have to go help my new friend with her quirk. But please, Mei, go get some sleep—I can hear how exhausted you are." She agreed, and we hung up.
I returned to where I had broken off from the group, but they weren't there anymore. A butler appeared and led me to the gym.
When I entered, I saw Momo's hair practically glowing as she created an insane amount of gadgets and items, seemingly without end. She stopped when she noticed me and excitedly jumped into my arms with a hug. "Look! My quirk is so much stronger now. I just have to think about what I want to make, and I can create it. I've made way more stuff than I ever could before!" She pointed to the massive pile of random gadgets and items in the center of the gym. "And I'm not even hungry! Normally, I'd be starving after creating even a fraction of all this."
She was practically bursting with excitement, firing off her discoveries at me. I smiled and explained, "I think it's because of the new silver highlights in your hair. They seem to work as better energy collectors and converters than your skin. Now, when you create something, your skin doesn't glow in a kaleidoscope of colors like it did yesterday. Only your hair was glowing, and even that was faint."
Momo took a thoughtful stance. "The need for an external energy source makes sense. There's no way I'd have enough fat cells to create all these complex items. They're probably used in the conversion process as secondary fuel, but now that my hair is collecting a much larger amount of pure energy, I don't need as many fat cells to purify and produce the items."
She had an expression of pure euphoria, almost like she was experiencing an epiphany. She managed to calm down, not wanting to look too weird in front of her parents. "But that still doesn't explain why my quirk now only requires the general shape, function, and material of an item, rather than complete knowledge of how it works."
Seeing her confusion, I pulled her into a hug and whispered in her ear, "That was most likely my doing. When I called my girlfriend, the one I told you about, I confirmed my hunch—she experienced changes too. Her eyes changed permanently, adapting to handle an aspect of my power. She gained a version of my Eye of the Universe that lets her see nearly everything within a certain range, down to the smallest detail. You, on the other hand, got a version of how my creation ability works. I draw unlimited energy from inside my vault, combining it with a small amount of water from my body to create anything humanoid, as long as my body can handle the energy."
I paused before continuing, "After you fell asleep yesterday, I promised you that I'd always be by your side as your friend, and I kissed your forehead. That seems to have activated a new aspect of my power—by declaring my loyalty to you, my power also declared its loyalty to you."
When I pulled away, I saw Momo standing there with a shell-shocked expression that quickly shifted to a big, goofy smile. Grateful tears welled up in her eyes. She moved closer and, to my surprise, gave me a quick but sweet kiss on the lips. "Thank you so much for being my friend," she said, her face glowing with happiness. That pure, heartfelt look on her face made me understand why my power had accepted her so easily.
