Have you ever wondered how to get yourself out of the house on Thanksgiving day when you're supposed to spend time with your family?

Don't worry; I got you!

It's currently two o'clock in the morning, and Shouta is sleeping. Well, should be...sorry in advance if I walk in on you doing your business, Sho!

I burst into Shouta's room with a guitar on hand and start playing. He immediately tries to curl up under his covers, but nope! I shall keep going!

"Izuku, go to sleep." I barely hear him slur.

"No. I have a song to sing you."

"Sing it when there's light outfit, you brat." Yeah, no. I completely ignore that statement. I start singing.

"Almost heaven, West Virginia."

"Are you serious? You don't even listen, let alone sing country songs..."

"Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River

Life is old there, older than the trees.

Younger than the mountains, growing like a breeze."

"I know that look, don't-"

"COUNTRY ROADS, TAKE ME HOME! TO THE PLACE I BELONG!"

"Izuku, get out."

"WEST VIRGINIA, MOUNTAIN MAMA! TAKE ME HOME, COUNTRY ROADS!"

"OUT, MIDORIYA IZUKU!"

I hip-hoppity out of there because Shouta threw a fucking book at me! But hey, it got the job done!

I'M FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Why did I want free? Well, I want to get all the UA teachers together to have a Thanksgiving dinner. Wait, did I mention it's Thanksgiving? I mean, kinda?

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!

Back on topic. I already got Lunch Rush to agree to this whole thing because he loves to cook, so I just need to convince the teachers to come along with two special guests. As I'm leaving Shouta's house, I leave a letter on the counter because I deny he will go outside his door.

The hardest part was getting to their places. I already know where some of them live like Shouta, but others like Vlad King I don't. Rephrase, I didn't know until after I hacked UA and get their addresses. I'm given the perfect chance to see their houses! Well, the outside. For the first couple of hours of the morning, I find my way to the teachers' houses and drop a letter in front of their home.

By the time I finished, I dash to UA because I'm running late to my meeting with Lunch Rush.

Sounds accurate to my life. Thankfully, I make it there with only almost causing one accident! Impressive for me! Lunch Rush waits in front of the gate, and we enter together.

For anyone who cares, the reason we are here so early is because there is still school today. Japan doesn't celebrate Thanksgiving. That's a United States holiday. Halloween is a minor holiday here. They don't celebrate the Fourth of July either.

Yeah, I'm probably more American than Japanese. Oh well!

Onto the subject, we are setting everything up before school. The teachers still have to grade or do whatever teachers do so we can finish it up then.

THEN WE FEAST!

The teachers start arriving around seven, so I send a text at six.

Teacher Group Chat

Divorce Exists invited Divorce Exists to the group chat.

Divorce Exists: Pick up the letter outside your door and read it. Shouta, yours is on the table.

Edward: I seriously don't trust you.

Divorce Exists: I wouldn't trust you either when you named yourself after a hot vampire you're not, Vlad King. 0/10 on looks.

Edward: ...I tried...

Cockatoo: It's fine. I already opened it. It's an invitation.

Snipe: I can't read it because his writing is chicken scratch!

Divorce Exists: It's not that bad!

Snipe sends picture

Snipe: Read it then.

Divorce Exists: It says feast tonight at 6 PM. Fucking be there, or I will drag your ass there.

Lego (Cementoss): You shouldn't have to make threats to make people come, Midoriya.

Tired Cat: Just leave him be and go. He doesn't know any better.

Divorce Exists: I know that was supposed to work against me somehow, but it told them to come, so I will work with it.

Tired Cat: Wait, is that why you came in singing that stupid song?

Ectoplasm: Is nobody going to point out the fact that Midoriya found all our houses or that he hacked into here?

S3xy Lady: That's normal.

Ectoplasm: And Nezu approves this?

Nezu: Of course! Why would I decline a student working on his ability? For now, bye, Izuku!

Divorce Exists was kicked by Nezu

Boo. Well, I can break-in at any time, so whatever. Lunch Rush starts cooking while I set up the table in the meeting room. I only chose here because nobody would come in here.

I am keeping it a surprise.

---

As much as I wanted to skip whoever I'm supposed to be with to finish this, I didn't! Be proud whoever the fuck you are!

It's right before lunch. I need class 1-A so we can have a Thanksgiving meal together, so I'm breaking in early, earning a glare from Shouta.

"Alright, we eating together today! I don't care if you're going to have sex in the closet during lunch, you're coming with me!" I think Shouta is already done with me because he crawled in his sleeping bag and fell asleep.

"As inappropriate as the last comment was, the first idea is a good idea!" Iida for once defends me!

Too bad Bakugo doesn't, " Tough luck, Deku. I'm not sitting at the same table as you or any of these extras." I smirk.

"Who said you had a choice?" All the classmates cower at my threatening aura. As soon as the bell rings, Bakugo tries to walk out without us.

Yeah, no fucker.

I crash into him, causing Bakugo to stumble to the ground before I jump up, grab Bakugo's body, and throw him over my shoulder while yelling at the rest, " Let's go!"

"DEKU, PUT ME DOWN!"

"GUESS WHAT? THE TABLES HAVE TURNED! SUCK MY DICK, BAKUGO!"

"Both of you need to settle down!" Honestly, at this point, do I need to say who it is?

Yes, I convinced everyone to sit at the same table but one, but I had a solution to that!

Just ducktape them to the chair with some flex seal! That shit works, mate!

"MMMMMM!" Bakugo attempts to scream through the tape I put on his mouth.

"Horny Bakugo? I didn't know you were into this!" That made everyone at the table blush except Kota, Tsu, and Todoroki.

"MMMM!"

I'M FINALLY GETTING REVENGE AFTER ALL THESE YEARS I DEALT WITH HIM BULLYING ME! TOO BAD CEMENTOSS MADE ME RELEASE HIM BECAUSE 'IT'S BAD!'

BITCH, YOU WANT TO SEE THE MARKS ON MY BACK!?

Moving forward, Bakugo and I were separated for the rest of the day. Now to an actual dinner!

---

"Thanks for your help, Lunch Rush! You really deserve hella of a lot more credit! I would hug you, but, you know, I'm a germophobe." I tell Lunch Rush with my eyes sparkling and everything. He made it look AMAZING! If I had to cook it, it would have taken the whole day. He did this within ten minutes!

Before I can react, I feel a hand ruffle my hair before pulling back. I glare at him, "You're lucky I like you...even though I can't see your face, I can see how fucking happy you are for touching my head. Whatever. Go relax." I push him to his chair as I fix my hair and make sure my suit is dandy.

Remember that suit from I-Island that got all bloodied up? I got the blood out of it, and I'm recycling it! Sure, it looks like shit, but oh well!

First, I have some people to pick up. All the teachers can go to this room easily. They have feet after all. My two special guests, I have to pick bring here though. I speed to one of the training grounds, only slowing down when I arrive inside a specific one.

"Hey, Shouta! Hey Shinso! Come on, time to eat!" I scream from across the field as I zoom in front of them. Shinso and Shouta look at me strangely.

"Eat? Wait, is that what the letter was about? I couldn't read it. How did you even find where I was at?" Shinso questions.

"Simple! Hack UA, and they have all the answers!" Shouta sighs.

"Shinso, are you okay eating dinner with all the staff members plus Izuku?"

"Not like they care. I don't mind as long as ya'll don't mind."

Oh boy. I tell him, " Bitch, we don't mind. Let's go. Oh, we have to go past the UA gate first." I start wandering off, the two behind me following with bored expressions. When I arrive at the gate, I make sure the person is here before opening it.

"Izuku, sweetie!" Mom bursts through the gate in a beautiful light green dress and crashes into me. I make the gate closes before hugging her back. She pulls back, inspecting me, " Is that the same suit you wore to I-Island that you got blood on? Oh, and your hair!" My mom scrambles to fix my hair, making it some side-sweep style.

"Yip yip!" Both Shouta and Mom face-palm, "What? I like it!"

"It's not exactly appropriate to wear that, Izuku."

"Oh well, let's go! Wait before we go! You already know Shouta so we can ignore him, but say hello to my brother Shinso!" Shinso blushes at the praise.

"N-nice to meet you, m-ma'am."

"No need to be so nervous! I get Izuku can be overwhelming, but he does care about you. I can tell." That's my nice mom right there — the complete opposite of me. Mom and I walk side-by-side inside the UA building while Shouta and Shinso stay back. Of course, I can hear their conversation despite their attempt at being discreet.

"Are you sure that Izuku's mom? She's the absolute opposite of him." Shinso asks to Shouta.

"I promise she is. He may have got her looks, but that's it." True, Shouta, true.

The walk is quiet besides that.

We enter the meeting room, and most of the teachers are already sitting. I lead my mom to the end of her seat at the table, pull her chair out for her, and let her sit. Shouta and Shinso easily find their places as Shouta is next to Hizashi and Shinso next to Shouta.

I quickly scatter to the front to start my speech,

"Hello everybody, and Happy Thanksgiving! Well, if you aren't aware of the holiday, it's in the US, so I can't blame you there. On this day, the fourth Thursday in November, complicated I know, families gather around to share a meal and say what they are thankful for.

Obviously, we aren't doing that because the person leading this is a literal sociopath. Besides, that's when all the family drama starts!

The reason I brought us together is for a meal, yes, but also to say that I appreciate all of you in your own way. I may not express it, but I do enjoy every single one of you. Whether it be to train me how to take over the nation, make sure I'm not drunk off my ass, take care of me, or just being there, in general, to give me attention because I love attention. I appreciate you.

Oh, and before we start, say hello to my lovely mom!

Mess with her, and I will beat you up in a heartbeat.

Now before this bitch gets boring, let's eat!" I go to between Mom, who smacks me upside the head before grabbing her food, and Nezu, who seems to be on a mission.

Easy chatter fills the room as we munch on turkey and other shit. Hizashi and Shouta are talking to their secret love child Shinso, so that is going great! Besides that, nothing important.

That's until Nezu decides to start a conversation, quieting everyone in the room.

"You know, it's interesting that you celebrate American holidays. May I ask why that is?"

Shouta, seeming to follow along with Nezu's idea, adds on, "Thinking about it, he's interested in mostly American things."

That takes me a moment to respond," Because I can." I take a sip of water.

Then Mom makes a statement, " Izuku, if you don't tell them, I will. It's a cute story!" I spit out my water.

"Are you trying to kill me?!"

"I'm trying to make you seem more human."

"Uh, the ending is trash, though?"

"It's the thought that counts."

"Shouldn't you be defending me?"

"Anything to make you less sensitive."

"Fine! The original reason for it all was because my Dad went to the US for 'work.' When I supposably 'grow up,' I would go to the US to talk to him. I learned anything involving them from their politics and language to music and memes. I wanted to be able to speak to him about the US. About two years after he left, I learned he left because I was quirkless. I kept learning anything possible, hoping he would come back, but that didn't work! Moving on!"

Silence fills the room. Then Nemuri speaks up for everyone, " That has to be the most precious thing ever! Izuku had a heart! Then his dad had to go and break it! Where's he at so I can beat him up, Midoriya-san?!"

"Me too!" Hizashi yells, standing up already.

"Yeah, I rather you two not go to jail over him. He's not worth it."

Nezu breaks through once again, "While we are on the subject of his father, can you tell us about him?"

"The fuck Nezu?!" You can't blame me for that reaction.

It doesn't help that Mom answers, "He's a more mild version of Izuku. Constantly caused trouble. Always into technology. Rarely needed sleep. Could care less about the law. Izuku is just more extreme."

"Somehow, I believe the only reason Nezu let me bring you is so he can dig dirt on me," I tell her.

"Can you blame him?"

"Uh, yes. You can blame anyone for anything. That's like me bring up Nezu's past! You just don't! SEE, THIS IS THE FAMILY DRAMA I'M TALKING ABOUT!"

"Taste of your own medicine, brat," Shouta has to add.

"NOT REALLY! I ONLY BE AGGRAVATE! I DON'T DIG DIRT ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE UNLESS I HAVE TO!"

"Death Arms?"

"Totally deserved it. I still haven't found their divorce in the paper yet, so that's a bomb."

"The neighbor lady?"

"She looked hella suspicious."

"The dog?"

"The dog had a quirk, I swear."

"I swear you have become more paranoid over the years."

"I have a list. Where do you want to start?"

Of all people, Yagi is the one to settle everyone down, "Midoriya is trying to bring us together in a thoughtful way. Bringing him down like that is not going to help him. We should appreciate him for doing this."

"I just decorated. Lunch Rush is the real hero too. He needs a pay raise, Nezu. But thank you, Yagi."

"Not a problem, young Midoriya."

For the first time this evening, I agree with what Nezu says, " I agree. Lunch Rush, you're getting a pay raise."

The man looks for fucking happy. He deserves it.

From there, we have a lovely meal. God blessed Shouta because he didn't have to deal with me tonight. Otherwise, we would be fighting to the death.

Anyway,

Happy Thanksgiving!
