5 Years Later

Chapter 11

"Hello, Tsuyu. You didn't think we'd miss Christmas with you this year, did you?" Ganma, a large man with the physical features of a toad asked.

Beru, Tsuyu's mother who also happens to resemble Tsuyu greatly (albeit much older), walked over and brought Tsuyu into a warm hug. Tsuyu hugged back and saw Samidare and Satsuki next to Ganma. Samidare was sitting on his phone while Satsuki just smiled widely at her older sister.

"I'm so happy that you're all here! But... when did you guys get here?" She asked, pulling out of the hug to look at her mother.

Beru smiled and raised her hand to point at Izuku. "That young man called Ganma and I a few weeks ago and told us of the christmas party. He then bought us tickets to come out here and celebrate the holiday." After she said that, Beru studied Tsuyu's outfit then chuckled softly. "Also, what are you wearing? This is a little unlike you."

Tsuyu took a minute to think then blushed a bit. "O-oh. It was a recommendation from my friends. I wouldn't... normally wear this, you're right." She tugs the dress's skirt down in sudden embarrassment, her face lighting up. "L-let's go inside, you all must be freezing..." Tsuyu adds then turns around, pulling Izuku back as her family entered the house.

Watching her family enter, Izuku turned to Tsuyu who was gripping his coat sleeve, shivering a little. "H-here! The cold must be getting to you dressed like that!" Izuku quickly said, removing his coat and wrapping it around Tsuyu.

She happily took it then hugged him tightly, her wide smile staying. "You're too perfect, Izu. I don't know what I did to deserve you. I just..." she stops herself to clear her throat, trying not to have her voice break from happiness. "I just wish I could repay you."

Izuku smiled and gently patted her head with his scarred hands. "You're letting me live with you, for one. You also... love me for me. And that's more than enough of payment." Izuku said shyly, absorbing her warmth to prevent himself from shivering.

A noise of content escaped from Tsuyu, who had her face buried in his chest. Their breathing was fast, not from the embrace mainly, but from the cold instead. Wanting to go inside, but not wanting to split apart, Izuku swept up Tsuyu and carried to the house. Once inside, everyone stared at the two and noises from each party were emitted at once; from sounds of approval, happiness and joy to sounds of whispering and laughing.

Hopping out of his arms, Tsuyu watched her parents talk with Inko and (sm)all Might. The two seemed to be getting along better, All might and Inko that is, and the two families also seemed to bond rather quickly as well. Watching them smile and laugh made Tsuyu feel giddy, the she turned to Izuku, a renewed confidence sparking in her.

"Izu. My outfit. How is it?" She asked flatly, holding the tips of the fluff rimmed skirt up a bit as she swayed back and forth gently.

Izuku just smiled sheepishly and nodded. "It's... i-it's certainly a new look I can get used to... Although, I've hardly ever seen you wear red." Izuku sputtered out, eyeing her outfit up and down.

He truly did enjoy this outfit though. It was slim enough around the right places and her leggings outlined her strong leg's form yet made it so feminine.

"Thank you... I wasn't sure how you'd react after I bought this but... i'm glad you found it tolerable to the eyes, haha." Tsuyu ribbits then turns her attention back to the party. "C'mon, Izu. Let's not leave everyone in their just yet. We have a party to enjoy." Tsuyu tugs Izuku's hand back into the living room with their friends.

"Y-yeah, right! Let's have fun this Christmas day, eh?" Izuku laughs a bit then follows willingly.

________________________________

"Thank you so much for bringing us here, Midoriya. We had a great time seeing our own hero again." Ganma exclaimed, shaking the green haired man's hand, and seeing Tsuyu roll her eyes at the statement.

"No problem! But call me Izuku, Hehe." Izuku said calmly then held his hands back in his pockets.

Tsuyu was hugging her siblings goodbye. "You two better not be giving them grief. It's hard enough now that mother has to cook for you two now since i'm no longer there, remember?" Tsuyu told them sternly.

Samidare rolled his eyes and grunted. "Whatever granny. Mom's gotten better at cooking anyway so you've been replaced already, don't worry." He said then smirked.

Satsuki frowned a bit then hugged Tusyu. "I miss you, big sis! I loved your cooking and stories you'd read me before bedtime! Will you be coming back soon?" Satsuki looks up at Tsuyu who gave her a shrug.

"I don't know, Satsuki, i'm usually very busy with hero work... But I can try since it's usually peaceful here now." Tsuyu assured the clingy sibling, managing to slide her off.

"Mr.Izuku, one more thing." Beru said, pulling him close for her to whisper something that made Izuku blush madly. "Ok?"

"Y-yes ma'am!" He stuttered quickly as Beru laughed.

"Ok, good. Remember that now, ok?"

Nodding, Izuku led Beru to their car and joined Tsuyu in waving them goodbye. Once the car was out of sight, meaning out of the neighborhood, Tsuyu joined her hand with Izuku's warmer hand.

"Today was fun, hm?" Tsuyu asks, leaning against him as they watch the snow fall on their front porch.

"Yeah, lots actually." Izuku replies, equally content. Embracing her warm hand, he ran his thumb over the back of her palm, feeling her soft skin under it.

"I want to stay like this forever Izuku. What about you?" She looks at him with her large eyes.

Izuku looked back down at her and stuffed his other hand in his pocket fidgeting nervously in it. "I d-do too, Tsuyu. This is a nice life. A-and i'm happy that... that you're with me." He removes his hand from his pocket and sighed softly, shaking his head a bit.

Tsuyu noticed these actions but decided not to pry too much into it. That being said, Izuku kissed the top of her head suddenly turned back towards the house. "Let's get back inside before it gets even colder, ok? I'm already starting to shiver, heheh." Izuku says quickly, crossing his arms across his chest to stay warm.

"Oh, ok. Don't want to catch frostbite this early." Tsuyu jokes then leads them back into the house for a calm night of warmth and relaxation.

Shaking his head even more, Izuku stared at the small lump in his pocket and grunted softly. 'I think it's still a bit early... maybe a little longer.' He thinks to himself before joining Tsuyu on the couch to enjoy some premade hot chocolate from the party and to watch Christmas movies for the night.
