5 Years Later

Chapter 10

A few weeks pass after the visit to Inko's house. Izuku and Tsuyu, now moved in together at Tsuyu's house, have decided to throw a Christmas party at their place. Surprisingly to Tsuyu, Izuku was really excited about the party; so much infact, that he even has a whole note book dedicated to planning it and a schedule.

"Izu, it's a christmas party, not a wedding." Tsuyu jokes, hanging up their stockings on the wall over their teal couch.

"Yeah, I know b-but I want this to be perfect! Out first Christmas together! This will be one to remember!" Izuku replied with confidence in his voice.

Tsuyu laughed at him a bit and admired the festive wall. Their back wall now consisted of their stockings, tapestry over the ceiling edges, white LED lights attached to the tapestry, a countdown to Christmas clock which read 3 days, family photos and now a newer photo of Izuku, Tsuyu and Inko at Inko's home, taken before they left. Tsuyu smiled at all the decorations and turned to face Izuku, who was fixing some ornaments on their tree.

Izuku, not really paying much attention, was smiling widely to himself. Unknowing to Tsuyu, his plan was already taking effect; his plan to make Tsuyu the happiest woman in the world. But, to do so, he'd need to be sneaky and quick with each action.

After a while of watching her boyfriend fix up their tree, she decided to try on a new outfit, incase it was too small. "I hope he'll like it. I'd never buy this otherwise, but he's my only exception." She blushed a bit as she mumbled to herself, laying out the outfit she would wear on Christmas day.

"I don't think it looks too... appropriate. Their won't really be any kids here other than a few of our friends, some teachers and Izuku's mother." She continues her mumble then tries it on, feeling a bit embarrassed but determined.

Meanwhile, Izuku just noticed that the tree was missing it's star. "Ah! Where'd I put that!? It was very expensive!" He quickly started to run around the living room in a panicked flurry, flinging small open boxes around and looking under furniture for his shiny star. Eventually, he found the large yellow star sitting on the counter under some papers. "Oh thank god. I thought I lost this thing for good already, hahah." Izuku sighs in relief then stops before putting the star on.

"...hm..." he ponders a bit then nods, looking towards the bedroom door. "He Tsu! Come out here for a second please?" He called out and was replied with a yelp and crashing, then silence, then a messy Tsuyu clambered out of the door, wearing baggy clothing.

"Oh, were you napping?! I-I'm sorry if I awoke you!" He quickly apologized to the approaching Tsuyu.

"No no. It's ok, Izu..." she clears her throat then nods to him, "Now. What is it you needed?" She asked, pulling up her sweater, as it was sagging a bit revealing her bra straps too often.

Izuku looked away from his girlfriend, not wanting to peep as she fixed her clothes. "I-I just wanted... to put the star up with y-you. It's our first... Christmas together and I-I just thought t-that it would be a s-special moment." He smiled his always timid, yet bright smile, his emerald green eyes staring back at hers.

Tsuyu sat in silence for a bit then just pulled him into a hug, nuzzling his chest. "Of course we can do that, Izu. But..." she looked up at him with a regretful smile, "i'm... Kinda short Izuku."

He stared down at her then blushed slightly, knowing what they'd have to do. "N-no problem, j-just let me know when you'll want me t-to..." he was stopped by Tsuyu quickly whirling around him, climbing up his back and sit on his back, his arms lifting her up. "W-what the- you're so quick, T-Tsu!"

"Heheh. I know Izu. Now gimmie the star." She made grabby hands in front of him as he handed her the star, quickly going back down to support her as she took it from him. Izuku moved them close to the tree, feeling her weight shift as she reached out to the tree. Before placing it, she lowered it down to his face. "Kiss it."
