Underneath the Mistletoe

It's Christmas Eve, and Bakugou Katsuki and Ochaco Uraraka are hosting their first holiday together in Bakugou's apartment, having moved in just a few months ago. They've spent weeks preparing for the night, decorating the tree, picking out presents, and making a massive feast, but Bakugou has been unusually quiet, especially when Ochaco insists on putting up mistletoe. As they settle in by the fire with hot chocolate and exchange gifts, Bakugou's tough exterior softens as he sees Ochaco's joy with each present. However, when they stand under the mistletoe, Bakugou hesitates, unsure how to express the feelings he's been holding back. Ochaco, sensing his hesitation, gently pulls him in for a kiss, reminding him that the best gifts aren't wrapped, but shared between them.
