— NOVEMBER PASSED BY, the last orange autumn leaves falling and carpeting the dying grass in a sea of gold, before being bathed in white as december's frost arrived. the sun now sets even earlier than before, calling a crisp air to the mountain in promises of snow on christmas.
as the nights became colder and longer, our once-thin hero costumes were replaced with something much warmer, specially designed to keep us cozy while saving the lives of others.
i hugged my waist in an attempt to create more warmth, all while also protecting my exposed stomach from the bitter cold. the costume support department had brought the hem of my pants higher than before, leaving only a small strip of my skin visible between that and the end of my top. it was a welcomed change, even if the body-conforming material wasn't very warm.
"i can't believe we're back at it!" hagakure exclaimed, "aren't you excited?"
"don't you get cold like that, hagakure?"
the invisible girl, wearing nothing but a pair of gloves and knee-high winter boots in freezing weather, pumped a fist in the air gleefully. "oh, yeah! i'm freezing!"
"but ya got guts." jiro praised.
mina giggled, striking a pose as she showed off her jacket, now lined with fluffy white faux fur. "clock my winter outfit! isn't it super cute?!"
"it's lovely!" momo exclaimed, clapping her hands. a long velvety crimson cape was draped over her shoulders.
"everyone's costumes have changed since we've started school, haven't they?" iida remarked. "they've adapted just as we have!"
sato huffed a laugh and patted the class rep's shoulder. "you're a champ! i'm surprised you lasted through the summer in all that gear."
izuku smiled, seemingly completely unaffected by the freezing weather as he vigorously wrote in the notebook he kept on hand at all times. "everyone's costumes have improved! even kacchan's!"
"yours may have changed the most out of everyone's, midoriya." ojiro said.
sero laughed. "hell yeah, how much new stuff do you have on?"
he flushed a shade of pink at suddenly being out on the spot, eyes flickering down as he picked up his foot and showed off the sole of his shoe. "i had to upgrade because i learned some new moves! the gloves are really gonna come in handy! actually, these are the two-point-o versions, hatsume made adjustments to the original design that made them even stronger!"
"she's incredibly talented!" ojiro replied.
i looked down and fiddled with the rings on my fingers in a futile attempt to forget about her boobs in my best friend's face. back when i didn't think i had feelings for him, when things were easy.
