____At the skating rink____

The class finally got to the rink only after losing three people within the class and getting lost like seven million times cause someone didn't know where they were going! Aka Sero. Todoroki and Bakugo were kind of happy to go ice skating...I guess...? You never know with those two. One minute they can show every single emotion on their face, and the next, they could go all resting bitch face on ya.

As they got their skates, Shoto decided to stay back and hang out next to the benches to wait to get his skates. He's not the best in crowds, and neither is Bakugo, but he's been getting better with them. It's just taken some time for him. "What size shoe do you wear?" Katsuki asked. "Oh umm...8 1/2 - 9," Shoto responded. "Okay. Be right back," he told the male and left to get the skates. Izuku came up to him and sat down next to him while putting on his skates. "So how're things going with you and him?" he asked his dual quirked friend.

"Hmm? What do you mean?" Shoto responded with a confused expression on his face. "It's obvious he likes you, and it's obvious you like him. So how're you and him? You guy's seem to be getting along." Izuku pointed out. Shoto blushed and looked at his friend, waving his hands and saying, "N-No I don't, and no he doesn't. He's never-why would he? We're doing just fi-" he got cut off by skates being gently placed onto his lap by the ash-blonde. "Here's your skates, half n' half," Katsuki said softly, not realizing the way his voice is.

"See you on the ice, Todorki-kun!" Izuku said gleefully. "U-Uhh, thank you, Bakugo." he stuttered out. "Why're you so red? Are you warm? Do you have a fever? If you're sick, you damn icy-hot stick, we're gonna have a problem." Bakugo groaned out. "I-I'm not sick, and I don't feel warm, nor am I sick or have a fever. I'm just nervous, that's all," he said, covering his ass. "Oh, really? 'Cause you weren't as nervous in my dorm when you teased me about being the best, Todoroki." Katsuki whispered in Shoto's ear.

"Hey! You try living with an ice quirk and a fire quirk and not feel nervous that you'll literally melt the ice!" Shoto said, laughing lightly. Katsuki could tell the male was having some trouble with his skates, and he helped him out. Doing the ties and making sure they weren't too tight, more too loose. He had his skates on already, and once Shoto's were on, he helped the dual haired male up.

Shoto was now, even more, taller than Katsuki. He was already four inches taller than katsuki, and now with the height of the skates, he's even taller, and Katsuki's just barely at his shoulder.

"C'mon, let's go on the ice, Bakugo," Shoto told him with a small smile on his face. He dragged the ash-blonde all the way to the ice, and the moment Katsuki set foot on the ice, he wasn't as graceful as he was when he was walking. He felt himself slip on the ice and grip onto the closest thing near him—the closest thing being both Shoto and the railing of the rink. Shoto felt himself stifle his laughter as he saw Katsuki flailing around like a baby giraffe learning how to walk again.

The rest of the group were already inside the rink, and Kaminari was being held by Shinso and Sero because he was looking the same way as Katsuki. Izuku and Eijiro were cheerfully skating and doing different turns and tricks.

"Fucking showoffs..." Bakugo grumbled. "hey, practice makes perfect." Todoroki reminded him. "yeah yeah." he responded.

"Do you wanna grip onto me until you get the hang of it, Bakugo?" Shoto offered. Katsuki looked up and reluctantly nodded his head yes. His arms wrapping around Shoto's torso and Shoto's arm wrapping around Katsuki's shoulder while his right hand held onto Katsuki's hand. Katsuki's head was racing with different thoughts, and so was Shoto's. They both were internally having a mid-life crisis while having an internal gay panic.

Katsuki's mind screaming, 'GODDAMMIT, YOU FREAKING ANGRY SHITHEAD! YOU MANAGED TO FALL FOR THE DUAL QUIRKED HOT AND ICE BOY! GOOD GOING, IDIOT. But we do love how he looks, though. It feels like I'm straight up hugging a teddy bear.' while Shoto's mind was screaming at him 'FUCK! HE'S SO PRETTY! WHY IS HE SO PRETTY?! DID GOD JUST THINK HEY WHY DON'T WE PUT BOTH HOT AND CUTE IN THE MIXING BOWL?!'

Katsuki began to get the hang of it, but he didn't want to leave Shoto's grip, so he fake struggled, and it paid off cause now he's sitting here with Shoto at a restaurant eating his favorite food while talking to the rest of the class.

____At the restraunt____

Katsuki had some spicy ramen while Shoto had something aside from cold soba. He actually had some udon with rice cakes. Izuku got his usual, and Eijiro got anything that involved meat. As everyone ate their food, they became the loudest people in the restaurant, which was something that everyone was used to. They knew the fine establishment owner, and this was one of the nights in this week that they were closed but were willing to open just for them.

Mina knew the owner really well cause the owner was her uncle.

"Hey, how is everyone doing?" he asked, swinging the towel onto his shoulder. "We're doing great, Oji!" Mina told her uncle. He smiled at her and ruffled her hair, to which she swatted at his hand. "Well, the wife wants me home, so here are the keys. Lock up and put the dishes in the washer when ya'll are done, got it?" he told his niece. "Yep, got it!" she said nervously, rubbing the back of her neck. The last time she forgot to lock up the place, she got a good amount of cleaning and couldn't eat one of her two favorite foods.

Not to mention Aizawa knew about it and made her train extra hard that day.

After everyone began finishing up, Ashido took up the plates and washed them before putting them in the washer and wiped down the tables. Putting the chairs on the tabletop and making sure everyone was out of the place so she could lock up and they could head over to the lights.

____Thirty minutes later____

They got off the train and made their way to the lights. It took a while cause they missed their first stop partly 'cause a few of them decided to fall asleep on the trip over. So it took longer for them to get there.

When they did, they paid for their tickets and started walking. All of them going into the groups they usually go into when they're in classes. The couples going with their significant others and the single ones going with their groups. Shoto and Katsuki stayed back and went together into the trail of lights. Katsuki had his arms crossed and hot chocolate in his hands, while Shoto had his arms moving slightly with each step he took.

The golden hue of the lights making Katsuki's eyes pop. Shoto looked down at the shorter and felt like he sees the most beautiful sight ever. Katsuki was looking at every single thing. From the many different colored lights to the different shaped figures. Soft Christmas music was playing in the background, and it began to snow. Looking up, Katsuki smiled a bit and looked at Shoto, who was staring up at the sky, his hair falling back and uncovering his eyes. But once he lowered his head and looked down at Katsuki, he slowly let a smile form on his face.

Katsuki felt his hand slowly raise and brush the hair covering Shoto's eyes behind his ear. A faint blush appeared on Todoroki's face, and he raised his hand just as Katsuki was pulling back. He lightly grabbed Katsuki's and intertwined their fingers. Bakugo's eyes went wide as he felt this happen, and he looked at Todoroki with a look of shock. "What the he-" he was interrupted, "Let's walk." and so they did.

They walked and looked at the beautiful lights. They enjoyed the time they had together, and once they were under the dome of lights and caught up with everybody, they stopped and stood there. Katsuki not realizing it but feeling a small smile form. He watched as Mina and Ochako took photos together, and Izuku and Eijiro did too. He saw the happiness on Denki, Hitoshi, and Sero's faces. He saw the joy on Jiro's and Momo's faces, and he wished that he had that...

That happiness of having that special someone. That person to share the holidays with...he looked to his side and saw the smile on Todoroki's face. The small glint of joy in his eyes sparked a light in Katsuki's. He slowly leaned his head onto Shoto's shoulder and whispered out, "...why can't I be that happy?" He didn't notice that the dual haired male could hear that small question, and he never noticed the look on his face.

'You can, Katsuki. I want to be the thing that brings you that happiness...if you'll let me.'
