There's something Bakugou and Yaoyorozu had never spoken of to anyone, and it's not like anybody would ask them what it is. It's not a secret of some sort, it's just that something no one dared to speak up about. They wouldn't call themselves "Childhood Friends" or whatsoever, no. They were just... Acquaintances, perhaps. If not, friends that were never really that close.

Why do they act like they don't know each other, then? Momo always thought it wouldn't really bring something positive if she reveals that she knew Katsuki for who-knows-how-long, and the boy simply thinks that he wouldn't gain anything from such. However, he acknowledges her. He nods at her whenever he sees her walking in the hallways of the school, and she would somehow - do the same. It's subtle, very subtle not even Jirou or Kirishima had noticed.

It started all when they were four to five years old. Their parents had an accidental encounter in a random coffee shop. By parents, both their mothers. She never asked her mother how she met Aunt Mitsuki, and, well... Obviously little Bakugou would never ask something so irrelevant at that time. They both just knew based on their mothers' conversations.

She and Bakugou would never play, even when they were seated beside each other. Most of the time, he would see her holding a book - and that was the time when he probably doesn't know how to read efficiently yet. "All you ever do is read! Boring." he points out at Yaoyorozu while building legos in their yard. All the toys scattered were his.

She closes the small book with poise and stares at him while placing the book beside her. "I need it to develop my quirk effectively." she says. Bakugou gleamed at her explanation.

"So, you have a quirk?" He asks, his fists clenched with excitement. Yaoyorozu nods at him. He smiles at her. "I have one, too! Mine's probably better because unlike you, I don't need to study much. Heh." he bragged as the little girl looked at him, unfazed.

"What's your quirk, Bakugou?" she asks him while sipping tea. The boy looked at her, confused."Why does she drink bad water." he thought.

Either way, he ignored it and spoke about his quirk. "I can make explosions!" He paused, ignoring the lego house he was building a minute ago and opening up his palms. Little explosions came out of his glands, the last one was quite bigger and stronger, it seemed. Yaoyorozu's face glittered. "What about you?" he asks her in confidence.

"I can create things." she says. Bakugou's eyes flickered. She raised her sleeves a little bit and several matryoshka dolls popped out of it. Bakugou gasped. "Only if I have knowledge on how to create them, though."

Bakugou frowned. "Oh." he managed to speak out. "Can you create other things aside from that... Ugly peanut-shaped doll?"

"I-It's not ugly!" She mutters. "For now, I have a limited number of things I can create, but maybe I could create more in the future-" Bakugou just scoffed at her. She resumes in reading her book and he does the same with his legos.

In a nearby table in the Yaoyorozu Residence's yard, their mothers are found chatting about the most random things. This time, though, both were quite happy to see that Bakugou and Yaoyorozu were finally interacting. "Mitsuki, Mitsuki! They're cute, aren't they?" Yaoyorozu's mother, Mayumi, twinkled.

"Your daughter is. Katsuki is just an aggressive bean. he's not cute at all!" she replied. "Well, maybe a little bit." she quickly adds. Their conversation is followed by laughter.

"This reminds me of the first time we met!" Mayumi blurted out, and they came down to a topic of how they met. Mitsuki seemed to have forgotten.

Momo remembers their last encounter quite clearly. At first, she thought it would be their last meeting when Aunt Mitsuki stopped bringing Katsuki over. Everytime Momo asked her why, she would always say that; "He's playing with a few boys in the neighborhood, Momo-chan." or "He's gotten busy with his friends. Ah, no surprise. He's growing, and so are you! It should be normal."

Somehow, it made her a little bit lonely, being the only child she is. All the other kids she's met are rich and full-of-themselves. Bakugou was slightly different because he had an innocent nature around him - of course, the last time she saw.

But, it wasn't the last time. It wasn't, afterall. When she reached middle school, she decided to stop home-schooling and finally see what the rest of the students are like. It took her a lot of convinving to get her enrolled into a non-elite high school. She was, however, always guarded. She would be picked up at specific times and they would always wait for her for an extra hour if ever she had a few things to work on.

She wasn't the person to go on trips with her friends as well - solely because she was told not to go under all conditions. One certain day, though, she somehow managed to escape from her chauffeur and her bodyguards. She walks around town and she settles with going inside a konbini store.

It was her first time, so it did surprise her a little bit. No matter, it still looked similar to grocery stores. She circles around the isles, trying to find the food she craved for. She has a few things in her hand and she wanted to find one last thing. It was some sort of candy her classmate offered her a few weeks ago, and ever since, she had been craving for it. She's looking for a particular brand of bubble chocolates.

"Was it not here, afterall?" she anxiously thought. After scanning the last shelf, she finally finds it as her whole face lit up. Kneeling down a little bit, she takes three packs of bubble chocolates and even considered to pick out the other flavors.

In the table just behind her, a group of boys sit. One of them whistled. She quickly realized it was her. It was no big deal. She was always getting that kind of vibe from boys. She quickly stood up and took her bag as well as the things she picked out. Upon standing up, she sees the group who was just behind her. However, she couldn't tell who it was.

She scanned their faces a little bit, but before seeing the last person, she looked away thinking she may have been staring for far too long."She's hot." one of the boys brought up. Before she could leave, a hand grabbed her wrist. One of them had laughed a little bit. "Caught your attention, Katsuki?" he said in a low voice.

"Katsuki-?"she gasps, looking at his direction. "B-Bakugou?" she managed to speak out. He quickly ignored her, though, and turned to his friend. "Nah, kinda know her." he replied. His face was resting on the back of his right hand. He pulled her into a far corner away from his friends and then he finally spoke.

"What the hell are you doing here, rich kid?" he says, slightly annoyed with his brows furrowed. "And what's up with that weird-ass hair?!" he points our at her unusual ponytail.

"Uhm, I managed to convince mother to get me enrolled in a regular school." she starts. He looks at her with his other brow twitching. "Your point is?"

"I escaped from my chauffeur. To buy these." once those words left her mouth, Bakugou face-palmed. She does know her mother would getmadat this kind of rebellion, right?

"Hurry up and buy those, stupid Ponytail." he says, giving out the 'shoo!' gesture. She just stared at him. "Geeze, now I have to bring you home. Why did I even meet you here," he murmured under his breath as the girl ran to the cashier's direction. He quickly went to his friends' table.

"What happened?" Tsubasa asked him, chomping on his food like the pig that he is. Bakugou took his bag immediately.

"I'm goin' to accompany her home or else my old hag would beat the shit outta me."

NOTES:

[1] Momo's Mother is unnamed, so I named her myself.

[2] Tsubasa is an actual character in BNHA, as one of Bakugou's childhood friends.

[3] Bakugou used to call her "Rich Kid" but changed it into "Ponytail".

[4] I accidentally saved the main file as DocX so it looks crap and I cant put it as a story, so I had to copy and paste this from Ao3, but I know the formatting would mess up. I hope I corrected them all.

Obviously had no idea on how to continue "Late Night Conversations" - but I miss writing BakuMomo so I settled on creating a new story. It may NOT be the best choice, but I'm sure I'll be able to update/finish LNC because only a few chapters remain. I still see ideas in my inbox, though, so I hope you don't get bored of that story and keep the ideas coming, because I legit DON'T know how to continue it. BakuMomo is a crack-ship so please, no hate.
