behind the scenes

"Why are we doing this again?" Sato asked unsurely.

It was the day after Christmas and the entire class woke up to Hu banging pots and pans. Surprisingly Aizawa was already sitting at the table fully dressed when they arrived downstairs. He calmly sipped the coffee straight out of the pot with giant ear plugs in.

Before they had a chance to question him, they were all forced back into their rooms to get dressed. And now here they are, in the middle of an empty mall.

"You'll see!" Hu chirped as he skipped down the walkway. The class groaned and trudged along slowly. They were freezing cold and tired as hell, the last thing they needed was a bubbly pink man-child dragging them around.

Hu came to an abrupt stop and jumped up and down happily. "We're here!"

The class looked at him with confusion. Build-a-bear? Really? They were dragged out of bed at eight a.m. for a fucking bear shop?

"What is this camera face?! Why are we at a toy store?!" Bakugou exclaimed angerly.

"Down boy, down. We're here to get Zihao a Christmas gift! Everyone builds a bear for him!"

"Why a bear?" Mina asked with her head titled.

"Yeah, isn't it childish?"

"I think its manly!"

Hu's smile faltered slightly, he quickly composed himself and shrugged. "Perhaps! But to Zihao this would be the best present ever! Besides he left you guys' gifts!"

The students looked at their teacher in shock, were those gifts actually from Zihao? They just assumed it was from the teachers since there was so much. Aizawa nodded and stood next to Hu. "You really thought we had enough time to buy you shit? It was all L/n."

Before the class could comprehend what he said, Hu and Aizawa entered the store and began searching for a bear for Zihao.

"I uh guess we should follow?" Sero said questioningly as he made his way into the store.

By the end of the trip, they managed to pick out twenty-two bears for Zihao. Each one was personalized by the students, even the box houses they came in were colored in to match the plush's outfit.

Aoyama picked out a pink bear with heart shaped ears. The bear wore a sparkly silver dress with shoes to match. Inside the ears there was multicolored glitter.

Mina decided on a tie-dye bear with a lime green hoodie and black shorts. She also bought a tiny phone for the bear.

Tsu and Uraraka bought matching frog ones. One was green and the other was pink. They had matching raincoats that had the other frog's colors.

Bakugou grabbed a regular bear with just a red sweater on it. He'll never let anyone else know he completed the entire heart ritual; quit happily as well might I add.
