Bakugo ended up inviting me to his for Christmas. Of course i accepted, but we don't celebrate Christmas so i don't know what to expect.
Of course, he had to lend me clothes again. We also quickly went shopping for gifts for his parents. Apparently that's part of what this holiday is all about.

[6:00pm 25th December]

His house was draped in bright colourful lights. It was beautiful but i had never seen it before so it was very new to me.
"Come on, i'm about to knock" he calls me and i tear my eyes off of the colour changing bulbs.
"Yes, sorry" I chuckle slightly and skip to catch up with him.

We stand side by side as his knuckles meet the door 3 times.
The door swings open "Oh my goodness! You're even more beautiful in person!" a blonde woman, looking more like Katsuki than Katsuki does compliments me, making me blush "YOU BOY! GET INSIDE! Oh wow, come inside, your majesty"
She bows her head as she opens the door wider "I'm this brats mum, Mitsuki" she says as she pats the, now fuming, boy on the head.
"It's lovely to meet you, Mitsuki" I giggle at Katsuki's state. The scent of food wafts into my nose and i inhale, savouring it.

She shuts the door behind us "food is nearly done, entertain yourselves while it's finishing up"
I thank her and follow Kat into his lounge where a Christmas tree stood. It was like the one in the city but smaller.
"You must be Princess Y/N, i'm Masaru and it's an honour to be working on your new gowns, i must say" He says sheepishly, holding out his hand.
"I couldn't thank you enough" I take his hand and we shake for a moment as Katsuki throws himself down on a sofa behind us.

I feel his arms around my waist and he tugs me down. I freeze as i'm sat on his lap momentarily but he pushes me off so i'm next to him instead. I exhale a breath i didn't even realise i was holding.
"You should've just told me to sit down" I nudge him and give him a smile.
"You're the type of person who feels guilty for sitting on other peoples sofa's. I did what had to be done." he mutters giving me a sly smirk.

I hate that he was right because i could come up with a snarky reply.

"Masaru, if i may ask, is designing your full time job?"
"Yeah, and raising my... lovely son but he's an adult now, aren't you Kat-Kat" he grins proudly at the spiky haired boy who's now sat with his arms crossed.
I smirk at him "He's a big boy now"
"Okay, shut up" He rolls his eyes and pushes my arm away that was snaking up to ruffle his hair.
"After dinner we should play Just Dance" Masaru suggests and Katsuki groans, slapping a hand over his face.
"I don't know what that is, but i'd love to"

"Dinners ready, guys!"

*****

I politely dab my mouth with the napkin after finishing the Christmas dinner. Why don't we celebrate it at home? It's great!

"Present time first?" Masaru confirms with Mitsuki and she nods.
"If this brat deserves his, that is" She smacks him on the back of the head and i let out a laugh, covering my mouth as Bakugo sends me a glare. The glare doesn't last long on me though, since we were moving back into the lounge again. We all take our seats and I hand his parents their presents.

He coughs awkwardly and nudges me with his elbow.
I look at him and my eyes trail down to something held in his hand. I stare at it for a second, not sure why he's giving me something.
"Well? Take it" He shoves it into my hand and turns away from me.
I keep my eyes trained on the box before opening it up. Though he's facing away, his eyes are on me.

When i opened it up fully, it presented a butterfly necklace which was simple but that's what i loved about it. It could easily go with any outfit whether it was casual or formal. It was perfect.
"Wear it to your ball or whatever" he mutters, almost embarrassed.
I chuck my body weight at him, holding him in a tight hug to which he wrapped one arm around me.
"Thank you, I love it, i'll definitely wear it" I say into the chest of his shirt.

I think this is what books talk about when they say about love and how it feels. My chest feels like it's squeezing from my admiration and adoration for him.

"I love you" I grin.
"Dude, you can't just say that" He laughs awkwardly.
"But it's true, you're my best friend ever" I squeeze him in my arms before pulling away.
"Yeah, yeah, whatever helps you sleep at night, loser"
"You're so mean, Katsuki" I joke.

After we had opened our presents, we played just dance.
While it was Masaru and Katsuki's turn, Mitsuki and I sat on one of the couches with one of their family picture albums.
She flipped through, showing me baby pictures of Kat and i couldn't help myself but to "Awe" at each one. Luckily, he hadn't noticed yet so i wasn't about to get blasted into smithereens.

"Oh look, bath times were always a nightmare"

She said that about almost every situation which made me laugh. In conclusion, baby Kat was a nightmare.

The blonde glances back for a second and ends up doing a double take.
"HAH??? WHAT ARE YOU DOING HAG?!"
"GO BACK TO DANCING, YOU BRAT!" She yells back. His face was more red than i've ever seen it before.
"But Katsuki, you were so cute!" I hold up the album and point at one of him in a bucket hat at the beach playing with sand.
"Tch, I prefer being called a demon"
