HOLY FRICK A 107 REVIEW GUYS!
This chapter is suppose to be funny and heartwarming so Enjoy!
memelrd: Thanks, pal! I will!
arinst2305: Hi...?
Just an NPC: Man me too, lol.
Roxas Itsuka: Well, Izuku hasn't given Nedzu a reason to be mean to him. Plus I see Nedzu as the type of...creature... that is nice until it's too late to realize they are going to destroy you. He has to be in character XD. Man this chapter is a doosy.
ShadeFireDragon: Hahah a bit. Yay! I try my best.
Lightningblade49: While Izuku does have more skills than his peers, the reason he was able to take down Endeavor is because he was familiar with the way the hero fights and could counter him. But honestly me too because that is going to be fun to write.
UC3: Thank you! I've been extremely concerned for the pacing and I'm happy I'm doing it right! Also the flow of the chapters is something I worked on. FA!Izuku's character development is going to be very different than Canon!Izuku. FA!Izuku's development is going to be of him gaining trust again and losing the fear he has for his old master.
Guest: Thank you!
Hardcasekara: Well...those flashbacks are gonna be around for a while soooooooo be prepared! While Izuku will be more happy, he won't be like Canon!Izuku ever again. Bakugo is going to be a huge part about Izuku's development and Izuku is going to be apart of Bakugo's development.
DragonFuryTej: Hello Reviewer 100! This story isn't going anywhere for a long while I can promise! Bakugo is going to be a very huge part of Izuku's development and vice versa.
kingleo chuenchom: Thank you! I aim for a "healthy" balance of cute and darkness!
KylarPierce: On the main cast (1-A, Izuku, Aizawa, and so on), but if people want anything in background characters (Like Bush or UA gossip of OCs) I will happily write it. So the main people are only friendship. No romance, only tears.
GreenDrkness: Well he does have to do teacher stuff outside of teaching and take Izuku to his lessons. Think of it as going to work and not doing anything.
Ararius: Thank you! I'm glad you like it!
PurpleePeep: Ohhhhhh you might not like it when I hit a certain season! Because I have plans, plans of angst and angst and feelings. I GOTCHU FAM!
ScarletHarmony: Haha, at first when I wrote it I was like "Wtf am I doing?" and now I'm just like "Wow, this is great."
bladetri: Thanks XD. Is this our thing?

Christmas Special: It's Christmas Izuku Midoriya
Tap.
Five faces flashed in front of him.
Tap. Tap.
Red blood dripping onto the floor.
Tap. Tap. Tap. Tap.
Green eyes snapped open to fuzzy black.
Izuku silently groaned and sat up, causing Bush to shift off his face. His eyes scanned around the room.
Something felt...different.
The air had changed. It was happier, cheerful even.
It was weird.
The nagging curiosity bugged him as Izuku took a shower and got dressed.
Picking up Bush, Izuku walked out of his room and into the main room.
Shouta was in the kitchen, making breakfast in pajama pants with cartoon cats and a white t-shirt. He must have woken up a few minutes ago.
The loud snores on the couch signaled that Hizashi decided to spend the night. He set the cat on the back of the couch, giving her a under the chin before heading towards the kitchen.
"Morning, Problem Child."
Izuku nodded in return. He glanced at the still asleep Hizashi before turning back to his guardian.
'It feels happy and cheerful. Is it some kind of Quirk or something?'
There was confusion in Shouta's face before he realized what his charge was talking about. "Oh, it's December. So it's the most wonderful time of the year and all that stuff."
At Izuku's confused look, he elaborated.
"It's Christmas, Midoriya Izuku."
The green-haired teen's look did not change. 'What's Christmas?'
There was a loud gasp as Hizashi bolted up. He ran a hand through his hair, which was down.
"I had a nightmare that Zuzu didn't know what Christmas was."
Shouta sighed while Izuku looked shocked and confused. "Hizashi, that was a minute ago."
"NOOOO!"
Izuku tilted his head. What's so important about Christmas? He doesn't remember the holiday before his kidnapping and no holidays were celebrated during the ten years of captivity.
Wait, how did Hizashi-
"Don't worry, Zuzu!" Hizashi hugged the teen. "I will make this the best Christmas ever!"
I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
And I don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
The two off-duty Pro-heroes and teen were walking through an outside pine tree market. Hizashi was jumping from tree-to-tree, examining them closely. Shouta and Izuku trailed behind him, just letting the blond have his fun.
Izuku snuggled more into his jackets and his eyes wandered onto the trees. They all looked perfectly fine to him. The strong smell that the pine trees were letting off was extremely welcomed as he took a deep breath.
This is the first he has seen a pine tree in years.
There was a scream and a loud thump, Izuku snapped his head up.
A particularly large pine tree had fallen on top of Hizashi, only his hair was visible. Shouta was laughing, a hand on his gut.
An amused smile appeared on the teen's face as his uncle-figure stuck a hand out from under the tree. Pointing at said plant.
"I vant thas won!"
Shouta took a deep breath. "I love this tree."
Izuku swept up the pine needles on the apartment floor as the adults bickered over putting the tree in the tree stand.
"To the left."
"No, no, the right."
"Left."
Izuku dumped the needled into the garbage can, quickly putting the broom and dustpan away.
"Perfect!"
He walked over to the tree as Shouta sat up and gently shook the tree, making sure it was firmly in the stand.
"Time to decorate!" Hizashi dragged out a medium-sized box and opened it, revealing tree decorations.
*Twenty Minutes Later*
Shouta was glaring at a snickering Hizashi. He was covered in flashing lights and silver tinsel.
Like adding salt to a wound, Izuku hung two red ornaments on his guardian's ears. Earning a surprised look then a glare.
"I thought I could trust you!"
Izuku picked up Bush as she tried to climb the now finished tree.
Oh no you don't, silly kitty.
"You'll look cute in this, Zuzu!"
The green-haired teen turned around just in time for a red Santa hat to be stuffed on his head.
Izuku shifted Bush into one arm and adjusted the hat into a comfortable position. Once finished he held the cat with two hands again.
Three camera flashes went off.
"Bush, no!"
The black cat glanced away from the tinsel she was chewing on.
She bolted away as Shouta ran over and picked up the fallen tinsel.
And everyone is singing
I hear those sleigh bells ringing
Santa won't you bring me the one I really need?
Won't you please bring my baby to me?
Yeah
Shouta groaned. "Why here?"
Hizashi grinned as he dragged his best friend towards the mall. "For Zuzu's Christmas presents, of course!"
The black-haired man huffed and crossed his arms.
Hizashi had to drag Shouta away from the window of a pet store. Passerbys watched as they listened to the entertaining bickering.
"Let me see the cats!"
"No! You'll buy all of them!"
"Exactly!"
There was a streak of yellow as Hizashi nyoomed into a music store.
Shouta looked at the mall security camera like he was on the Office.
With a candy cane sticking out of his mouth, the off-duty Pro-hero; Eraserhead. Walked out of a candy store with a large bag.
Hizashi wiped away the blood flowing down from his nose, a proud smile on his face. A bruise was already forming around his right eye and those scratches on his cheek looked human.
"I can't believe you fought an old lady for a stuffed animal!" Shouta threw his hands up.
"No regrets!"
Shouta raised an eyebrow as he examined himself in the mirror.
Wow, a red scarf does look good on him…
Picking up the box wrapped in bright red wrapping paper with little reindeers on them, Hizashi set it in a larger box. One that was slowly filling up with presents.
"How many more are there?" Shouta asked, eyeing Bush from where she was intently watching them on the counter.
Her eyes said that paper looks mighty delicious.
"It's only been five presents."
Hizashi had his head in his hands.
He left to go to the bathroom.
When he came back Bush had unrolled a layer of wrapping paper and was now eating it.
"Get away you mangy cat!"
Bush slowly pulled her paw away from the tape before running away.
She looked around, making sure none of her humans were around.
Her boy was away with one of her human's friends. Her human and loud-human were in another part of the concrete jungle.
Once Bush was satisfied that no two-legs were around, she made her way towards the piles of colorful paper.
Towards the clear sticky plastic.
Ever so careful, she reached out a paw.
"Oh, coME ON!"
Shouta glared at his cat, who was currently covered head to tail in tape.
"I swear to God-"
On the night of Christmas Eve, the little family were in the living room.
Shouta had completely taken over the couch. Wrapped in his bright yellow sleeping bag and out like a light.
Hizashi was snoring on the floor between the coffee table and the TV. Which had a digital fireplace crackling on the screen. Completely covered in blankets besides his face.
Apparently, the blond doesn't do well with the cold.
Izuku was sitting on the floor, leaning against the front of the couch. He cradled a mug of hot chocolate in his hands, taking a sip every once-in-a-while. He had nuzzled himself into his dark green hoodie, the first one Shouta got him, and tried to finish his warm drink.
Green eyes wandered over to the Christmas tree, lights shining in the dark living room.
Izuku felt...happy, excited. His shoulders didn't feel heavy and his many scars didn't burn against his skin.
He almost felt like a child again. For the first time in ten years.
A smile appeared as he sipped the rest of his drink, setting the mug on the coffee table in front of him.
Izuku deeply appreciated everything Shouta and Hizashi have done for him. They could have just rescued him and been done with the little assassin boy.
But they didn't.
They visited him, Shouta adopted him, Hizashi takes care of him when Shouta has to be a hero.
They're his family.
And for that, Izuku felt blessed.
Leaning against the couch, Izuku closed his eyes.
Before falling asleep his whispered.
"Merry Christmas."
Then fell into a true miracle.
A sleep with dreams, instead of nightmares.
Merry Christmas, Hanukkah (even tho your Christmas is over I still gotchu fams), or whatever you celebrate! See y'all next year!
