Child's POV:

*THUMP THU- THUD CRASH!*

I jump up out of bed startled by something loud in the living room crashing into the tree. So I grab my nerf gun and sneak  into the room. I drop my gun and rush to the box beside the tree. It was taller than my parents. I saw the note that Santa wrote on the side.

<  sorry this took so long to get to you,  but I thought this would be better then a figure. Simply pull the ribbon to open. Marry Christmas young man.
        
        Santa Claus >

I pulled the ribbon and there sitting in the box was the real life winged hero hawks.

"Marry Christmas kid. Santa sent me because a villain  was trying to stop his flight. So I figured since you were our last stop. I'd spend the day with you before heading home."

Hawks hands me one of his feathers and with some ribbons from the box. He turned it into a necklace  for me.

"Th...Thank you sir. You're my favorite pro hero ever."

"You have good taste then kid. Now bundle up."

"Why's that sir?"

"I thought we'd take a flight around the neighborhood and watch the sunrise before anyone else. "

"ALRIGHT WOOHOO!"

My parents wake up as we take off. I hold on to his coat tightly while riding on his shoulders. He shows off some cool tricks with his feathers and even slices a snowman in half as we flew past it. When we got back. I gave hawks my scarf to keep him warm for his travels. Before lunch he left , but not before we took a selfie together.  As he flew away. We didn't stop waving till he was out of sight. As I turned around to walk back inside.  I saw slay tracks on the roof and a drawing of hawks with a goofy smile. The drawing had a speech bubble.

<no matter what happens.  A villain can only hide your smile. Not take it from you. So stay safe and become a hero to show people how to smile. I believe in you kid.>

Hawks POV:

I met up with the others and we headed back to Santa's shop. Once the slay was back. I went home to rest up. As I sat on the bed about to lay down. I remembered the gift santa gave me. I opened it to see a toy that I wanted as a kid. It was an endeavor tracking ring. If he was nearby. The light would shine brightly. It was to comfort kids to let them know a hero was close by. I smiled and put it on. Just before I was about to be asleep. The ring lights up and wakes me.

*knock knock *

"Hawks are you in there?!"

I walk over and open the door, and hide the ring in my pocket.

"Hey endeavor! Shouldn't you be with your family?"

"It wouldn't be the same without you there to irritate me."

"Aww is endeavor getting soft on me? Heheh!"

Endeavor picks me up and throws me over his shoulder.

"Hey put me down old man!"

"I will once we get home."

"I can't go right now. I've been awake all night!"

"You act like you've never crashed on my couch before.  You use to all the time as a kid remember?"

I get quiet as memories of me playing with natsuo, Fuyumi,  and touya filled my head. When we got there. I fell asleep on the couch and woke up to shoto giving out letters that were in the mail.

"Hey keigo, there's a letter for you that came to us here."

"Hm?"

I was still half asleep when I opened the letter.

<dear bird brain, hope you are alright and warm this Christmas day.  I'll be seeing you soon. 
       Signed your old friend  T.T.>

^T.T.? Wait.....^

"He's alive? Looks like Christmas miracles do happen after all."
