The current atmosphere of the festively decorated commons room was moderate; calm, warm and tender like the holiday should be. It was a stark difference from how it had been earlier that evening, which had been loud and jovial, filled with many voices chatting nonsensically while trading off brightly wrapped presents and seasons greetings. 

But now it was almost entirely silent, the only sounds being hushed voices of a few remaining students and the Christmas music playing from someone's Bluetooth speaker. The smell of that evening's feast still lingered in the room; frying oil, steamed veggies and meats, miso soup among a few other savory things hung thick in the air, however there was a sweetness glazed over it, most likely from Satou's desserts. 

Sat cross-legged on one of the many couches among some fellow classmates, Shoto had occupied himself with styling Tsuyu's hair upon her request. Half of it had already been put up into a bun, the other side he was currently brushing out to thoroughly remove any and all tangles. Asui had nice hair, so she did not have many knots at all. But she still had a lot of it, so it really was like a workout for Shoto's arms. 

Movement was a struggle as laid up against either side of him was Eri and Kota, both having crashed not long after the gift exchange due to what Kaminari described as a 'food coma'. It wasn't like he was annoyed by the children's presence, but they did not help in the hair styling process he was trying to complete. 

"Wow Shirakumo," Ashido speaks finally after having been watching the red/white haired boy for some time now, "you're really good at that!" A barely audible hum comes as a reply to her compliment; Shoto did not speak a whole lot to his classmates, but when he did it came out as short, straight-to-the-point sentences or noises. Though a few of 1-A's population found this to be rude, most had figured that Shirakumo Shoto was not one for social situations. So, they accepted his grunts and short statements in their entirety. 

"Could you do my hair?" Ashido asks, eyes big and puppy-like whilst pointing to her head of unruly, pink locks. 
"I can't do much with long hair." responds the monotone young man, grabbing a hair tie in one hand while the other gathered up Asui's deep green strands, "I only know how to do puns and ponytails." Moaning in disappointment, Mina continues to watch Shoto work regardless, silently contemplating if she should try growing out her hair. 

Uraraka asks, "Who taught you to do hair?" seemingly trying to start up a conversation topic.
Though not a fan of this, Shoto reluctantly says after a few moments of pondering, "My sister." A smile dares to tug at Tsuyu's frog-like mouth, croaking softly as she sighs through her nose. 
"Aww, that's so sweet!" coos the brunette, who clasps her hands together to lean her head on them. Finishing off tightening the final ponytail, Shoto mumbles something that no one could make out aside from Asui, who stood up after and testing shook her head.

"Thanks Shoto-Chan. It feels so much better not having it weigh on my neck, kero." The frog-girl smiles at her friend before taking a spot on the ground. 
Many compliments and remarks came her way then:
"It looks great, Tsu!"
"Whoa, it's like you got younger!"
"You and Eri are matching now!"
