[It takes a while for Ochako to respond again, she's gone back and forth through dizzy spells and feeling like she's going to throw up again on and off. She's felt like this once before - the tightness in her chest, and the feeling of floating without her quirk, the buzzing in her ears--
It was when she came back in, gosh, the end of September? After all that. Ochako hasn't felt like herself since...that time. Maybe she isn't. It'd explain why she's been second guessing every thought, feeling, and action she's done for months now. Maybe she's not really herself.]

[This place was changing them all, every one of them. Taking her into his home was not something he was ready to do.]
You're crying or shaking, again, so I'll come to you. You won't be hard to find. I'll be out front in just a little while.

[It was, but for Ochako she's not sure if it's for better or worse. It feels more like the latter sometimes. especially when she hits those low points, like right now.]
shakes
don't feel good.
sorry
[And while Ochako will wait for Tomura, she doesn't wait too close to her home area. Using her quirk, she sneaks out her window after leaving a note for Momo on her desk, in case she's not back for a while. A half-lie, saying she got called out by a friend who needed company. Another thing that makes her feel miserable - lying to her friends, keeping secrets from them, feeling like if she's honest, they'll also reject o-or abandon her...
Ochako's not hard to find, even with Search - there's a small shopping plaza a little ways away from the residential area, a few blocks. She has the headpiece of her hero suit on, but otherwise is dressed casually and sitting on the concrete support of a street light. The headpiece helps with headaches, and she can probably get away with people thinking it's just a weird pair of custom headphones....not that anyone's really out to see, though.]

[Giggling, Ochako will then wait for her friend to come join her. She doesn't want to just eat by herself - that's terribly rude - but also she doesn't want to sit around and do nothing while her friend worked hard for her. So, pushing her chair back, Ochako gets up.]
Let me at least clean up a little bit for you then, Momo-chan!! Then, by the time we're both finished, we can eat together.

[Doing all this legwork was starting to grate on him, not because of her, because of himself. This was definitely a manipulatable situation. He could use this, but there was a small war in his mind as to if it was reasonable or if he should care to. What end did it serve? Nothing really.
Maybe without Search it wouldn't be hard, but with it was easier and like a beacon, he was able to pinpoint her both visually and specifically by her quirk. As he walked up behind her, he didn't make any move to conceal that his shuffle of shoes every now and again made noise. He knows she hasn't stayed home, and he knows she'll figure out he has a way to track them if she didn't give him a location.]
You shouldn't be out by yourself after dark. You never know what mini boss ends up lurking around the corners.

[She would have gone to him, like he said - met him somewhere that was more favorable to him - because Ochako really needed to just...get out. To breathe. To not feel like she was boxed in. But he told her to stay put, and she listened. She questions why she listens, why she always ends up seeking solace when she's upset with someone like him out of literally anyone else. Anyone else would be better, probably.
But Ochako has things to confess, and they're not good things. Not things she would be able to confess to anyone but him. He might...understand better, or at least she hopes so.]
It's fine. I know a really strong boss. [She smiles down at her feet.] He uses cheatcodes and everything.

[ By the time Ochako gets out of her chair, Momo has her apron back on and her hands full with the bowl of crepe batter, so she can't really do anything to stop her from coming over to her cooking space. ]
O-oh! You don't have to do that! This is supposed to be your special meal! You shouldn't have to do any of the work for it...
O-oh! You don't have to do that! This is supposed to be your special meal! You shouldn't have to do any of the work for it...
[Ochako may have monopolized on that a little bit, but honestly she just doesn't like sitting around doing nothing, especially when Momo is working hard. She wants to show her appreciation.]
Please, Momo-chan, this is the least I can do!! And I want to help out, really! You did so much for me already, and I want to eat together with you, so... [She is going to start tidying up a bit. Fight her, Yaomomo. :|]

Well, a-alright... If you insist...
[ There isn't really much she can do about it, seeing as she has to concentrate on not burning her crepe. But soon enough the batter has solidified, and she adds the strawberries and creme and folds it over, transferring it to a plate and gesturing for Ochako to join her at the table. ]
There, there, then! Itadakimasu!

There, there, then! Itadakimasu!
[And in that time, Ochako has wipes down a few of the utensils Momo wasn't using right then and there, and wiped the counter a bit. She'll wait to put back the ingredients after they've finished eating together.]
Itadakimasu!! [Clapping her hands together happily, Ochako resumes eating with Momo after she's seated again. Her legs kick about happily, like a child, and she smiles.] Did you learn to cook while you were staying here, Momo-chan? You've really done a wonderful job, these are so good!

[ Momo digs in as well, albeit with less childlike enthusiasm than Ochako, but no less appreciation for the food's deliciousness. ]
Mm! [ She nods, finishing chewing and swallowing before she answers any further. ]
I can't eat out all the time, after all. And I don't have anyone here to cook for me. So I sort of had to pick up some new skills as I went along.

Aah...that's so practical, I'm proud of you, Momo-chan!!
[Proud that she finally learned to cook and actually...not burn anything, or make something truly heinous. But, considering Momo's quirk, and and that no one here is going to really cater to her like she's used to, it was either sink or swim. Leave it to Momo to do a full breaststroke, though.]
Mmh... [She takes another bite, kicking her feet happily.] If you need any pointers, or want to learn some basic recipes, I can show you, too! I know a few that my mama taught me.

[What do you mean he shouldn't message her during school hours in the block before lunch?]
Time to go. I'm outside your school. Look outside the window.

[Bzzt, bzzt.]
The other window.
[This one, where he's raised his hand with his phone on it. Speaking of hands, all of the family members were at home or more likely someone was in a pocket. See? He could be respectful. He gestures for her to come out with a gesture toward him. Hello, time to skip school.]

[Prepare to witness the most hilarious display of Ochako trying to 'play it cool' while also trying to excuse herself. Thankfully, this particular class is one of the better ones, and the teacher is well aware that she gets stomach upsets and isn't at all bothered when she has to go suddenly for hero work and the like.]
HOW DID....

[It's amusing and it may or may not be partly the reason he came early.]
This is after school, when you leave, school is done for you.
No, I already called. Just wait for the teacher to say you've been told you have to come out. They're so disorganized. I called at least five minutes ago.

lol yea welcome to my us high school experience...
wait u CALLED??
omg i'm
tomuraaaaa
[Ochako is dragging her hands down her face. Yes, this makes it easier for her to skip, but she's going to have to explain so much more now if word gets out. Momo and Bakugou attend school here with her (though Bakugou skips almost all the time).]

I'm a realist, too. It seems boring. I took a walk around.
I did, because I knew you'd take forever. There's apparently a possible villain sighting in the area that you've been tracking personally. You should come handle that.
I can still see you. It's better than making an actual crisis, but if you want, I couuuulllllllldddddddd juuuuust...
[Could just inch his hand over a couple more inches on the tool shed, tilting his head with a 'Yes or no?' look to her. Enough so his entire look emulates the question. Yes? It's a yes right? He likes yes. Yes is his favourite of these.
Shut up he's in a good mood and he can be not a dick, sometimes, barely.]

[Why are you such a weird, creepy stalker? Ochako adores you, Tomura, but she might have to throw something at your head one of these days.]
a well enough excuse...i guess.
at least u were prepared, u weirdo.
[Oh, the urge to flip him off is maddening, but Ochako glances at him and balks, having to stop herself from just straight up shouting at him and instead texts back furiously.]
DPN;T U DAER!!!!1
I'M COMINF NOW HOLD *ON*
i gotta check out
gosh!!!!!

[Can she see that horridly wicked smirk from there? Maybe not but he's wearing it and drops his hand, walking back from the view of the window to wait further out in the school yard. It won't be hard to find him, he'll follow a specific, straight path.]

It wouldn't be a great master plan if I told just anyone.
[Riiiight. Take all the fun out of him threatening someone today, just great. There goes his whole day.]
I'm playing along this once, but I'm going to remind you that you don't tell me what to do. Other than eat. I'll let you tell me to do that. Today at least.
There's a park. I know you know it. I'll meet you there.

Exactly.
Now you understand that I give everyone around me free will. They do what they do because I ask them to knowing full well they could say no. See you.
[That's all he sends. Otherwise he's waiting on a bench under a shaded tree, throwing menacing looks at anyone who isn't walking cute dogs. Dogs that won't maul him here his first fucking day. That was so fucking annoying.]
