"LET IT GOOOO~", ashido proudly sang, making kaminari cringe.

currently hoshimi, ashido, and kaminari were strolling around the kiyashi ward shopping mall. unlike the pair that shared one brain cell, hoshimi had already bought her gifts.

"who's your secret santa person?", hoshimi asked.

"eijiro, how about you?", ashido asked.

"I got hitoshi, but I still got shigaraki and my dad something", hoshimi replied. she had also gotten her other friends a little something, but didn't want to ruin the surprise.

"really?! I got bakugo! and I don't know what to get him", kaminari dreaded.

"what would bakugo like?"

"umm...a trophy? he always wants to be the best right?"

"but a trophy of what?? he already has a quite a few for football, academics, and everything he's ever attempted", kaminari pointed out.

it was true. whatever bakugo did, he always made sure he did it at his best.

"umm....maybe a new shirt??", hoshimi suggested.

kaminari was thinking hardly. once hoshimi mentioned a shirt, it was like a lightbulb went off in his brain.

"thank you hoshi!!", kaminari said as he skrted off to somewhere else.

"now let's find eijiro something", hoshimi laughed.

ashido agreed as the girls went to go browse through the mall. ashido ended making a lot of small trips into the other stores.

"what can I say? these sales are amazing!!", ashido exclaimed, while holding up a clearance crop top.

"touché. but shouldn't we find eijiro's gift first??"

"nahhh! I already have something in mind", ashido said as she continued picking out cute outfits.

"really?? what're you gonna get him?", hoshimi asked.

"I'm gonna get him—"

"—RED CROCS?!?!" kirishima was beaming with excitement.

"aw, thank you mina!!", kirishima exclaimed, hugging the girl who discreetly gave hoshimi a thumbs up.

"okay! now hoshimi's secret santa", ashido announced.

"it's me", bakugo growled, holding up a plastic bag.

hoshimi smiled, taking the bag form bakugo. "thank you". she looked inside, seeing a big jar with cash inside.

"what—"

"I heard you and crusty over there is saving up for a house. so I went ahead and got you a jar, where you can save your money. $200 pre start", bakugo explained.

everyone was slightly surprised, as they didn't expect bakugo to have actually given a decent gift. usually he just bought whatever and hoped the person liked it.

"t-thank you", hoshimi breathed out.

she gave bakugo a hug. he just grunted and awkwardly patted her head, not really used to the affection.

"yeah yeah whatever".

"anyways!! I got bakugo for secret santa!!", kaminari announced, interrupting the nice moment.

hoshimi sat back down next to shigaraki, smiling. shigaraki gave bakugo a small smile, to which he just scoffed and turned away.

"what'd you get me, dunce face??" bakugo took the bag and looked inside. he pulled out a red sweatshirt.

he read what it had said and had a small smile on his face. he almost laughed, but stopped himself.

"oho?! the great katsuki is laughing??", ashido teased, making bakugo immediately drop his smile.

"tch! no!"

"what does it say??", sero asked.

bakugo turned the shirt around for everyone to see.

"I fucking hate everyon—HEY!!!", kirishima read out.

bakugo was grinning. he liked his present more than he expected.

everyone started laughing. "that was your plan??", ashido asked.

kaminari just dusted off his shoulders. "what can I say? I'm a genius!!"

the rest of the time was spent opening more gifts. shouto ended up giving away a mercedes to uraraka, using his father's credit card.

uraraka was sobbing, as she's never received a more expensive gift.

"t-todoroki-kun....y-you're an angel!!", uraraka said, tightly hugging todoroki.

"umm...thanks", todoroki said, awkwardly patting uraraka's back.

hoshimi handed out her little presents for everyone. she gave out clear plastic bags with a brownie in them. it wasn't much, but the effort was there.

shigaraki got lucky and ended up getting hoshimi for secret santa. while everyone was watching, he had only gave her a card, a very poorly written card.

"merry christmas! love, shigaraki", it said.

"hoshi", shigaraki called out. everyone was now either singing karaoke, eating cookies, drinking their problems away, or dancing.

"yeah tomura??"

"I...I have another present for you", shigaraki mumbled, pulling hoshimi into the hallway.

"oh wait!! I have one for you too!!", hoshimi excitedly exclaimed, pulling shigaraki into her old room.

since aizawa begrudgingly let hoshimi host the christmas party at their house, hoshimi was able to hide shigaraki's present in his new room, under the bed without him noticing.

a big box was wrapped. hoshimi hauled the present out, letting shigaraki have at it.

"did you get me a cyber power pc??", shigaraki asked, shocked.

"you said you didn't have your pc, so I decided to get you a new one. plus I heard most people stream using these", hoshimi smiled.

shigaraki wasn't exactly sure how to respond. so he took out a small black box, giving it to hoshimi. she raised an eyebrow and opened it, gasping at her present.

"no you didn't".

"my first paycheck from chick-fil-a goes to you. thank you for always supporting me. and count it as a promise necklace", shigaraki said.

"awww, thank you tomura!!" hoshimi was on the verge of tearing up. "can you help me put it on?"

shigaraki nodded. taking the necklace out of the box, he helped hoshimi put it on. the necklace chain was a bit shorter than normal ones, so it was near the collarbone.

hoshimi smiled, touching her infinity necklace. her fingers felt the slightly rough surface of the diamonds embedded into the infinity charm.

hoshimi was about to get up and leave the room until shigaraki stopped her. he pointed to the mistletoe that was hanging above the doorway.

she chuckled and wrapped her arms around shigaraki's neck. leaning up, she softly placed her lips on shigaraki's.

shigaraki held onto hoshimi's waist, enjoying the sweet kiss.

"merry christmas tomura", hoshimi whispered, laying her head on shigaraki's chest.

"merry christmas, hoshi".
