Worthless Necessity [HitoZuku]

Chapter 125 - Never your state of mind

Nezu yawned, and stretched. Like all the other teachers, he had his own room on campus, but he had been working late just the night prior, and had just decided to sleep in his office. Deciding to make himself a cup of tea, Nezu hopped off the couch in his office and exited into the staff room, only to realize that there was a huge pile of rolled up papers and a metallic green tin with yellow highlights that he recalled was not there the night prior.

Rubbing his eyes, Nezu walked over to the table, and picked up the metallic tin, deciding to focus on it first since it was the odd one out of the bunch.

Nezu blinked, as he read the label of the tin. And he blinked again. Wasn't Golden Tips Imperial really elusive and expensive? Why on earth was there a brand new tin sitting on the table!?

Turning it around in his paws, Nezu tried to figure out where it came from, and found a piece of paper taped on one side of the tin.

"Happy Christmas, Nezu. Thank you for taking care of me. Midoriya Izuku."

Nezu let a small, sad smile creep onto his face. On one hand, he was really touched that Midoriya would actually get him something for Christmas, even though with Midoriya's personality, it was to be expected. But on the other hand... Midoriya didn't even know the proper greeting for Christmas.

And the other thing was due to all the villain attacks, the delivery company was having trouble delivering the bean bag that Nezu had ordered. Hopefully, the boy didn't mind too much that his gift would be a little late.

Nezu had one question, though. How did Midoriya manage to get into the teacher's lounge in the first place? The student identity cards did not allow access into the teacher's lounge, so Midoriya wouldn't have been able to get in before any of the other teachers.

He needed to figure that out. Maybe there was another security flaw that he and Maijima had overlooked.

Togata yawned, and opened his door, only to realize that there was something in front of it. He picked up the small, wrapped up present, tilting his head in confusion. His entire class hadn't really bothered much with Christmas, with all the time and effort they had to put into their work studies, and how close they were to graduating, so it definitely wasn't from any of them.

He, Amajiki, and Hado were actually going to go out for a mini Christmas celebration, and have some brunch, then they would go back to the dorms to do their own things, like studying or training, and then, maybe they would crash 1-A and 1-B's joint Christmas party if they felt like it.

Actually, they were definitely going to crash the party. They were the responsible upperclassmen, and they had to take care of all their adorable underclassmen! That, and it was pretty likely that Aizawa would bring Eri to attend the Christmas party, since it was unlikely that she had ever celebrated something like that while being under the "care" of Chisaki.

Togata noticed a small note taped onto the gift, and peered at it curiously.

"Happy Christmas, Togata-senpai. Thank you for not pushing me around and being really nice to me. Midoriya Izuku."

"My kouhai is so cute!" Togata exclaimed, before the meaning of the second statement finally sank in, and he froze up, his mind racing as he tried to process the severity of Midoriya's words.

Midoriya was thanking him, for not pushing him around? And for being nice? Did he actually think that Togata would hurt him for absolutely no reason?

Togata numbly unwrapped the small gift, finding a small ramen keychain inside, and a small smile crept onto his face. The blonde immediately fished out his phone, attaching the small keychain to it, and grinned to himself. He was going to find something for Midoriya as well!
