Katsuki's POV:

It's finally Christmas and I'm so excited and nervous for all of today. I have dinner with Mr. Aizawa and Present Mic and I have that date with Shoto. Mr. Aizawa and Mic went to sell the stove and dining table for around $150 and they're giving me the money today when I go over for dinner. When they told me they had a buyer, I went out and decided to buy Shoto a Christmas present anyways.

I had enough money to get something better so I decided to buy some matching bracelets. I know it's not much, but I really liked them. They were both black, stainless steel and they say our own names. I'll let him decide of he wants the one with his own name or the one with my name. They're really nice and I hope he likes it. They told me about the buyer yesterday and so that's when I went out to buy the stuff. I took Kirishima with me and he helped me pick them out. They were going to take a while to put our names on them so he went out to eat and stuff. Kirishima was talking about how much of a cute couple me and Shoto are and that the video was pretty cheesy.

It was pretty fun. Shoto was hanging out with Izuku, Uraraka, and Iida. He said he hadn't hung out with them so while I went out with Kirishima, he was going to hang out with them. I told him that it was a great idea and he told me he was excited about our date. That made me happy, but a bit nervous because that put pressure on me.

I'm in my bed at the dorms and I'm thinking about wrapping the box with the bracelets. The box has both bracelets and it's very fancy, but I think it'll be good to wrap it. I bought some wrapping paper yesterday. I also snuck a present for Kirishima yesterday. I went into a T-shirt store. You give them something to put on a shirt. I told them to put 'Manly' on a red shirt. It wasn't a lot, but I'm sure he'd like it. When I found Kirishima, he was freaking out because he couldn't find me. I told him I was sorry and that I had to use the restroom. The shirt didn't take long to make either, it was like 10 minutes.

I get up and go to my closet to grap the wrapping paper. I grab a box to put the shirt in and start wrapping it. Then I wrap the box with the bracelets. It's not the best wrapping, but I tried. I put on a hoodie before taking the box with the shirt in it. I go over to Kirishima's room. I knock and wait for him to open up. The only reason he hasn't gone home yet is because he wanted to hang out with me for a little before going back home. He's staying at home for the rest of the break so he said that he was staying until 12 today. It's almost 10, so now would be a great time to give him his gift.

He opens it as he yawns. When he sees me, he smiles widely. "Oh hey bro. What's up?" I stick out the box and say, "Um, hey. I just wanted to give you this. I didn't know you were still asleep. Sorry about that." His eyes light up and he smiles at me. "Oh it's no problem dude. Thanks for the gift," he says. He takes the box and starts opening it. "It's uh, nothing much. But I hope you like it," I say as he sees the shirt.

He smiles widely again and looks at me happily. "No way! I love this, man! It's great," he says and he goes to hug me. I hug him back and smile. "Oh, I'm so glad you liked it. I was kind of nervous," I say. We pull away and he shakes his head. "No way, I love it. Thanks." I nod. "Um hey you wanna hang out for a bit? We could eat breakfast and then we could play Mario Kart in the common area for a little bit before I have to go," he says.

"Yeah, sounds good. I'll go get breakfast started. I'm just going to put some frozen waffles in the toaster. Sound good?" He nods before saying, "Yeah, I still have to brush my teeth so that sounds good." I go to my room as he closes his door, probably to get his stuff. I grab my phone and then knock on Shoto's door. He's still here because of me too. He's going to dinner with his family too, but he's not leaving until 2. I'm leaving at that time too so that I can help Mr. Aizawa and Mic. They said Shinso would be joining us and I told them that it would be cool. They were happy about that.

He opens the door, he still has bed hair and I laugh a bit before hugging him. "Hey," he says. We pull away and I say, "Hi." He offers me to go into his room. I say, "Uh, no. I can't right now. Me and Kirishima are going to hang out before he leaves at 12 and we're going to eat breakfast right now. Then we're going to play Mario Kart. I was just checking if you were awake cause... Well I don't know. Hm, sorry." He laughs and hugs me again quickly. "It's alright. I was already awake. Okay. Well, let's hang out later then. See you later," he says. I nod and smile before leaving. I step into the elevator and then watch the doors close. I look at my phone and see that Mr. Aizawa had texted me.

Aizawa- Hey just making sure that you're still coming for dinner

9:54

Me- Sorry, just saw your message. Yeah I'm still coming. I'll be there at around 2:30 or 3

10:03

I put my phone in my pocket when the doors open. I step out and head to the kitchen. I take out the toaster and plug it in. Then I take out the waffles and put them in the slots. Only 4 can fit at a time. I'm making 4 for each of us. As the waffles are in the toaster, I take the syrup out of the pantry. Then I take out the plates. When the waffles pop up, I take a plate and put the waffles on. Then I put four more in and go to the fridge to get some orange juice. I get two cups of ice and pour the juice. As I'm putting the juice back in the fridge, I hear the elevator ding and see Kirishima walking towards me. He's wearing the shirt I got him and he's smiling widely.

I laugh and he speaks up. "Hey, thanks. It's really comfortable. Also thanks for making the waffles." I pass him the plate and the syrup as he sits down. "It's no problem. Making these isn't that hard. Also you're welcome for the shirt. You're such a loser for wearing it right now though," I say as he takes a bite. My waffles pop out and I grab them before unplugging the toaster. Then I pass him a cup of orange juice and grab my fork.

"Thanks," he says with his mouth full. I smile at his dumbness. We eat in silence for a bit, but it's not awkward or anything. Then he says, "Okay so what are you doing for your date today?" I turn to look at him as I finish chewing and then say, "Um well I'm taking him out to eat. But maybe I should take him to eat after the other thing since we are going to be going on our date after our own dinners at home. Well I'm taking him ice skating, and then dinner. At dinner, I'm going to give him his present." He nods in approval as he finishes his orange juice. I take the last bite of my waffle and then stand up.

Kirishima goes to wash his plate and as he's washing his plate and cup, I'm finishing my orange juice. As I'm washing my dishes, Kirishima puts away the toaster. Then we head to the common room. Everyone else is at home already. Most of them left during the weekend and the rest left yesterday. I'm still a bit hesitant about sleeping at Aizawa's. I'm a bit nervous about that. Maybe because once I actually sleep there, it's official. My mom really did get locked up because everyone found out that she was abusing me for most of my life after my dad left when they found out I was gay. It's just a lot.

We set up and then start playing. We yell at each other and laugh. There's a few bad words thrown around here and there. We thankfully don't break anything and before we know it, it's 12. Well it's actually 12:32, so Kirishima jumps up quickly and yells, "Oh my god! It's past 12, I have to get going!" I look at him, startled. "Ugh, I was supposed to help with the pumpkin pie and ma said if I'm not on time, then I wouldn't be able to make it. I had to leave at 12 to make it by 1. So if I run, I'll make it!" He runs upstairs, not taking the elevator and then a minute later, he comes back down with a hoodie half stuck on his head.

I watch him as he leaves the building yelling, "Pumpkin pie, here I come!" I laugh and turn off the Wii. I go to the kitchen to get a bag of chips to take upstairs to Shoto's room. It's just some spicy chips called 'Turbos'. I've had my fair share of spicy chips and I love them, but I had never had Turbos until Shoto bought them once. When I told him that I'd never tried them, he gasped exaggeratedly and fed me one right away. I must say, they're frickin delicious.

I step out and go to Shoto's dorm. I always get really happy when I think about him or when I'm near him. I still get butterflies in my stomach. I knock on his door and he opens it in a few seconds. He smiles at me and his hair is still a mess. "Hey- ooo you brought Turbos," he says. I laugh and nod as I hand him the Turbos. "Why's your hair still a mess? I mean, I like it, it looks kinda like good," I say nervously towards the end. I meant hot you know but I'm not telling him that.

He looks at me and smirks. "Hm, I'm sure 'good' is what you meant," he says knowingly. I groan and blush as I jump on his bed, burying my face into his amazing-smelling pillows. "Ugh whatever, you know what I meant. I'm not saying it," I say, words muffled into the pillow. I hear him come closer and then jump on top of the bed, right next to me. "Well I was too lazy to fix it. I mean I went to the restroom and brushed my teeth, but I realized that I forgot my hair stuff and I don't really have to get ready for anything until later so I was like eh whatever," he says. I turn to him and I see that he's already looking at me.

The left side of my face is in the pillow and his right side is covered too, so we're just laying there like that. He grabs my hand and I smile at him. As we look into each other's eyes, I can't help but think 'I'm definitely in love with him.' He smiles back and we just stay there for a while. Just looking at each other and enjoying each other's presence.

"I'm excited for today," I say. He nods and says, "Me too. I can't wait." I sigh before saying, "I'm also kind of nervous." He laughs a bit before saying, "Oh, don't be. I'll enjoy our date no matter what you decide to do. I just like being with you a lot. You make my day. Just looking at you in the morning makes me happy." I smile as I'm blushing from his little speech. "I feel the same way Shoto. You make me feel safe and cared for. That means a lot to me."

We stay there in silence for a little while longer before Shoto says, "Okay so I want to watch a show together. I've been wanting to watch a few shows, so tell me if any sparks any interest in you. Sound good?" I nod. He sits up and I do too. "Okay so first up is Atypical. It's about this autistic kid who's in high school. It's supposed to be a comedy I think," he finishes. I nod and motion for him to continue. "Okay so 2nd is the Umbrella Academy. It's about these people with powers who come back after splitting apart when they grew up since their adopted father was an asshole. Basically a crazy reunion and there's time travel, action, and comedy."

"That one seems fun but go on," I say. "Okay the 3rd one is called On My Block. It's about these teens who live in a bad neighborhood or something and one of them is forced to join a gang because of their brother. There's some romance, it's supposed to be funny, and there's obviously going to be some action," he says. I nod and think about it. "Okay is there more?" He nods and says, "Yup one more that I was thinking about." I nod and then he continues, "The last one is called Daybreak. It's about this guy who's living in a post apocalyptic world I guess? Well there was a bomb that got rid of all the adults and he's looking for a girl. He also talks to the camera. It's supposed to be a comedy and it has action."

I take it all in and I think about it for a bit before saying, "Well, they all sounded good, but the one that got my attention the most was the Umbrella Academy. Also where'd you find these shows? I've never heard of any of them." He shakes his head and says, "Netflix. They're all Netflix originals. Okay so you've never seen Stranger Things? Or um Orange is the New Black?" I shake my head. "No, I haven't. Why are they good?" He just gasps and says, "Oh my, I have a lot of shows to show you. Okay so what about other shows. Not from Netflix? Like How I Met Your Mother or Grey's Anatomy?"

I shake my head again. "Well, I've heard of both, but I've never seen them myself," I say, kind of embarrassed. "It's cause I never really had the chance to. You know?" I scratch the back of my head. He nods before saying, "Well you're going to watch those shows. We'll watch them all together." I look at him brightly. "No way? Are you serious!? That'll be so fun! Okay but for now let's just watch the Umbrella Academy," I say, excitedly. Shoto smiles at me widely and then gets up to turn on his computer and grab the remote. He sets it up pretty quickly before coming back. We get under the covers and cuddle as the show starts.

We don't have a lot of time since we spent most of it just laying down and looking at each other. We also talked for a while, but any time that I get to spend with him is more than enough for me. Should I tell him that I love him? Right now? No. Maybe on our date. When we're ice skating? Or maybe when we're walking home? Yeah I have no idea when to tell him. I sigh and wrap my arms around him tighter and he does the same. I'll never get used to this.

Shoto's POV:

We're cuddling as we watch the show and I hear him sigh happily as he hugs me tighter. I do the same and continue watching the show. I'm really excited for this date and I'm excited to give Katsuki his gift. Well technically it's for both of us, but I know he'll love it.

I've also noticed that I get this weird warm feeling every time I see him. When he smiles, when he talkes, just being in the same room with him takes my breath away. I think I'm in love with him. I've been thinking about my feelings for him for a while now. I always come to the same answer: I'm in love with him. I wonder if he feels the same way towards me. I mean I've been trying to be a good boyfriend. I don't even know if I'm doing it right. Does he really feel safe when he's with me? Do I make him feel like nothing bad will happen when I'm with him?

I have no idea and it makes me crazy. I love being around him and when he smiles at me, it's like the whole world is gone and it's just us two. It's really amazing and no one has ever made me feel the way Katsuki makes me feel. I just hope that I make him feel the same way.

I snap out of my thoughts when I feel Katsuki pull away all of a sudden. I quickly turn my head to see what he's doing. Maybe he was talking and I wasn't paying attention? I don't know. He just grabs the bag of Turbos on the drawer and comes back. He looks at me as he puts a chip in his mouth as he comes back. "What?" I shake my head and say, "Oh nothing, I just thought you were leaving or something. I was so into the show and I didn't know if you were talking to me." He laughs and shakes his head. "Nah, I just wanted Turbos." I sigh in relief and nod I put my right arm around him again and put my other hand in the bag of chips to get some.

He growls at me playfully and I laugh. "Weirdo," I say. He just shrugs several times exaggeratedly and says, "So?" He also exagerrates his lips as he talks, so I laugh harder and he smiles. We turn back to watch the show. Happy that we get to spend time with each other. I mean we spend a lot of time together, but we appreciate every moment. It's kind of cheesy, I know. But, Katsuki tells me about how he wished he appreciated those types of moments when he had a loving family. It made me really realize that I should do that.

Katsuki's POV:

Once the episode finishes, I check the time. It's already 2:02. I mean the episode was like an hour long. I say, "Oh we should get ready fast. It's already 2:02." Shoto nods and we get off his bed. I put a clip on the end of the bag of chips so they don't get stale and then start walking towards the door. As I put my hand on the knob I say, "You wanna head out together? Your house is on the way to Mr. Aizawa's." He turns to me and nods, "Yeah that sounds great. Just come knock on my door when you're done changing."

I nod and then open the door, stepping out. I close the door behind me and head to my room. I walk in and go to my closet. I grab a nice, black button-up shirt. Then I grab some black pants that Mr. Aizawa got for me. He said that he wanted me to look nice on Christmas and he didn't want me wearing skinny jeans. I laughed at what he said and thanked him.

I go over to my drawer and take out an undershirt. I put everything on and make sure that I have deodorant and cologne on then I tuck in my shirt. I grab my belt and put it on before grabbing my phone and wallet from the top of my bed. I grab the wrapped Christmas present I got for Shoto and put it in my pocket. Once I have everything, I go to Shoto's room and knock. He opens it and he steps out. He has a maroon button-up shirt with black pants and a black belt. He still smells like apples.

"Wow you look good," I tell him. He smiles. "Hm, I guess you look good too," he says, playfully. I laugh as we walk to the elevator. He hold hands as we walk to Shoto's house. His house is near Mr. Aizawa's. It's like a few blocks away. It's closer than where I used to live. "So are you telling me where you're taking me now?" I shake my head. "Nope. Just wait and see," I tell him. He groans like a little kid and then says, "But I wanted to know." I laugh and he frowns.

As we near his house he says, "I'm being completely honest here, Katsuki. You look amazing. You take my breath away." I blush and turn away. "Oh whatever." Once we get there Shoto speaks up, "You want me to walk you? I don't mind." I shake my head. "No, I'll be okay. I'll text you when I get there, deal?" He nods. "Deal."

He walks up to his door and I wave at him. "Bye, see you later," I say. He smiles and says, "Okay bye. I can't wait." He walks in and waves as he closes the door and I turn to walk to Mr. Aizawa's. I kind of did want him to come, but at the same time I didn't. I'm still anxious about everything, but I'll be okay. I walk quickly and finally make it to Mr. Aizawa's. I knock on the door and a few seconds later Mic opens it. "Tch, you don't have to knock. Just come in," he says. I smile nervously as I scratch the back of my head. "Oh okay."

I walk in and see Shinso on the couch watching Total Drama Island. He sees me and waves. I wave back and then he continues watching. I walk into the dining room with Mic as Mr. Aizawa walks out. When he sees me he says, "Oh, Bakugo. You look good, very formal in those clothes." I smile and say, "Yeah, thanks for the pants again. I really appreciate it." He smiles. "Oh yeah, I almost forgot," he says as he digs around in his pocket. I'm a bit confused before he takes out his hand with money in it. He hands it over to me before saying, "Here you go."

"Oh, thank you," I reply. "You really didn't have to, but I appreciate it," I continue. He shakes his head. "Don't worry about it. Dinner is almost ready." I nod and then turn around to go to the living room with Shinso. We watch and laugh at the dumb host. I'd never really gotten to watch shows. Yeah I've seen Supernatural, but only in pieces. I've never seen a full episode. I never really got the chance to. Total Drama Island though, was different. I watched that when I was a kid.

After a while of watching, Mr. Aizawa finally calls us to the dining room. "Okay dinner is ready. Come to the dining room." Me and Shinso get up and start heading to the dining room. As we sit down, Mr. Aizawa takes off his apron, revealing his own dress shirt. It's navy blue and it looks good on him. He brings the pot of food over to us, reveling that it's some sort of soup. "Wow it looks and smells great," I say. Mr. Aizawa nods appreciatively. Soon, we all dig in.

Okay so today is Christmas my dudes. So MERRY CHRYSLER!!! I just want to thank you guys. I've always felt like the things I've done in life are not that great. Like I have amazing grades and I'm doing great in school(even though I hate it). But, I've never done anything that a lot of people can be happy with or enjoy. That's really taken a toll on me, but you guys are really great and tell me that you enjoy the story and my writing. That's amazing and I never thought that I'd be able to do something like that. So, thank you. I really appreciate your comments A LOT. They make me laugh and smile. Ugh anyways, sorry for the long rant. I just want to say thank you. The next chapter will come out on Friday. Have a great Merry Christmas <3
