[Deku] My mom took us out for Christmas Eve dinner. There is silence over the three of us.

"So, Shinso? What do you want for Christmas?" I asked.

He thinks for a while. Then he gives me an answer, "A cat."

Perfect. That's just what I got him.

"What about you, Midoriya?"

You. I want you. 

"All Might figurines. I know I have tons of them, but you always need more!" I smile at him.

He smiles at me back. Teeth and all. 

A while passes and we've eaten at least 3/4ths of our food.

"I need to go to the bathroom." My mom says. She leaves the table and me alone with Shinso.

Make some small talk, Izuku!  My face turns red as roses. I hold my face with one hand and placed one face down on the table. Hitoshi puts his hand on mine. We look up at the same time. Now our faces are both red as Kirishima's hair. We quickly pull away from each other.

I clear my throat. "So this might not be the best time to say this but... Hitoshi, I-"

"I'm back from the bathroom! What did I miss?" MOM!

After dinner, we go back home. I see Hitoshi stumble into his room. He's probably going to bed I should too. 

So I do.


[Shinso] Izuku's mom took us out for dinner.  Silence rules the table.

 "So, Shinso? What do you want for Christmas?" He askes me.

I think for a while. Then I answer, "A cat." 

You. You, Izuku. Your hair. Your eyes. Your smile. Your laugh. I wanna spend the rest of my life with you.

"What about you, Midoriya?" I ask.

"All Might figurines. I know I have tons of them, but you always need more!" He smiles at me.

I smile at him. 

A while passes and I've barely eaten my pasta.

"I need to go to the bathroom," Inko says. She gets us and heads toward the bathroom.

He holds his face with one hand and places one face down on the table. I put his hand on mine. He notices. We look up at the same time. We quickly pull away from each other.

Izuku clears his throat, "So this might not be the best time to say this but... Hitoshi, I-"

"I'm back from the bathroom! What did I miss?" 

Dinner passes and I go to my room to grab the present from under my bed. I waddle to the tree and place it carefully under it next to all the other presents.
