Santa Clause is coming to town
"Merry Christmas guys!" Izuku screams as he walks down the stairs. "You've posted it all over social media already Midoriya" Hagakure said while looking down at her phone. "It's getting annoying." She said groaning. "Stop spamming." Kaminari said slightly annoyed, looking at all the Merry Christmases sent to him through various group chats. Midoriya rubbed his hands while waiting for water to boil. "Midoriya, I thought you said you didn't like Christmas." Todoroki stated sipping his peppermint tea. "Yeah, I don't really like Christmas. Santa Clause freaks me out-" He was about to ramble before Todoroki cut him off. "Then why do you keep sending people 'Merry Christmas'?" Midoriya cleared his throat a bit, "Well, people like Christmas! It's celebrated by most people you know? It's really cool how so many people are able to come together to celebrate one holiday!" He said cheerfully. "Are you gonna spam us during New Year too? Or Valentines day kero?" Tsuyu asked. "Well no-" Midoriya said before he was cut off once again, "Then why Christmas?" Yaoyorozu asked, sipping her hot chocolate. "I-" He was gonna say before he realized he couldn't win this argument. "Nevermind." He muttered silently before walking back upstairs, leaving the boiling pot of water on the stove.
"Don't you think you guys were a bit harsh?" Uraraka questioned, seeing that it's been three hours after the situation and Midoriya has yet to leave his room. "Not really, he had it coming for him anyways." Hagakure stated, "All the messages are really annoying." She said, frowning, though no one could really see. "But, it's Christmas! It's supposed to be celebrated!" Mina said happily. "Even so-" Todoroki was cut off as Midoriya walked into the room with a Christmas sweater. "Really Midoriya, you have a sweater for Christmas as well?" Todoroki frowned. "Hey!" Mina said annoyed, "It's normal!" She screamed, pointing at her own sweater. Before things could get messier, Midoriya walked out from the dorms. "Oh shit-" Bakugou said, "I forgot." He buried his face into his hands.
Midoriya made his way to his mothers home, the route implanted into his head. He rang the doorbell, putting on his best smile. As the door opened he said "Hey Mom!" The green haired woman didn't look that well, her face pale and hair a mess. Midoriya hugged her tightly before walking into the house. "It's another year huh?" He said, smiling at the urn in front of him. "The fifth year now, why Christmas. Why?" Midoriya dropped to his knees, his breathe shaky. "Izuku..." Inko said, not really knowing what to do in this situation. She draped her hands over Izuku's shoulder. "I'm sure your grandmother would be proud. Very proud of you and how far you've come. You're her little hero, and you will always be, even if she isn't here." Inko said, ruffling his hair. "Shouldn't you be spending time with your friends?" Inko questioned. "But mom, what about you?" Izuku asked, not really sure of what to do in this situation. Would his friends even want him back in the dorms? Isn't he just being a bother at this point? "I'll be fine, I'll be having a guest over later anyways! Now go have fun!" She said, pretty much pushing Izuku out the dorms. "One more..." He whispered. "Just one more person to visit.
"What did you forget Bakubro?" Kirishima questioned. "Fuck." Bakugou muttered. Everyone was confused, this wasn't how Bakugou acted. "Fucking December 25th." He continued. "It isn't Christmas for Deku." Everyone was confused. "Hanukkah?" Bakugou shook his head. "It's an anniversary..." He continued. "Another one? Damn." Sero said. "No, not like that. It's the anniversary of his grandparents." Yaoyorozu let out an 'oh', "That's sweet of him, to celebrate his grandparents anniversary." She smiled, "Now I feel bad for speaking to him like that, he must love Christmas because of this huh?" Bakugou shook his head, "No. He's mourning...mourning over the death of his grandparents."
"Thank you, please come again!" Midoriya walked out with a bouquet of flowers, made up of green carnations and marigold. The bouquet was tied with a golden ribbon, with accents of silver in certain areas. He walked towards a graveyard that he has many times. The entrance was simply a metal gate that could be pushed open easily. He walked his way to the gravestone that was covered with many festive flowers and gifts as he put down his bouquet on the grave in front of him. He knelled in front of the grave, tears falling from his eyes, but he made no sound. "Christmas is your favorite holiday right? You always came to the house with grandma, freshly baked chocolate chip cookies and a custom figure of All Might. You always picked me up off the ground and swung me around every year, you always repeated the words Merry Christmas even if you weren't religious. You told me, 'Christmas is the time for family and friends, and while it celebrates religion, it's also the time when people are able to spend time with each other. The one time where everyone, no matter who you are or where you are, celebrates.' When you didn't come that one year, I was confused, but mom said you were busy. So when it turned out you died, from something so cruel, from suicide, I was scared. I wanted those freshly baked cookies and the custom figures. But most importantly I wanted you. I wish I could spend more time with you because you were the only person who didn't care if I had a quirk or not. Grandpa, please come back, I miss you so much." Izuku burst out into tears, the ground growing increasingly damper.
"Hey Deku!" A mocking voice called out from behind him. Two guys appeared before him, one who had demon wings and another with elongated fingers. "Been a while hasn't it?" The crunch of the dried leaves were a warning, but Izuku didn't respond, though he was clearly frightened. "A loser who cheated his way into U.A huh?" Izuku looked up, his eyes teary and frightened. "If only Bakugou was here, we'll be able to deal more damage. But I guess you already get beat up by him daily, so it doesn't really matter does it?" The demon kid smiled, "So let us have our gift alright?" Izuku had a fist delivered to his face, which forced his back to hit the gravestone behind him. Izuku let out a groan, but that only forced a kick to hit him. It repeated over and over again, punch, kick, punch, kick, punch, kick, punc-
"Oi fuckers!" Izuku recognized that voice, and the explosions that followed it. "What are you shits doing?" It was Kacchan. "Kacchan?" Izuku coughed out, opening his eyes slightly. "You dumb shit, why didn't you fight back? You have the fucking power, you beat me didn't you!?" Bakugou shouted, which led the two boys in front of him eyes widen. "Bakugou, you must be kidding right? That quirkless freak-" The long fingered male started before Bakugou cut them off, "You didn't see the fucking sports festival did you?" Bakugou said, trying to scare them off. "Deku is far more useful compared to you two now." The demon winged kid eyes widened. "What-" "Deku!" Uraraka screamed, running into the graveyard, seeing the body on the floor. She rushed to his side, picking him up immediately. There was blood in multiple areas, and bruises everywhere. "You fuckers are lucky that he didn't hurt you guys." Bakugou said moving to the entrance of the graveyard. "Beating him up right in front of his grandfathers grave too." He stopped moving, turning his head back, "You guys are going to hell, don't you dare talk to me when you guys get there." He said, walking out of the graveyard.
"Bakugou, who were those two?" Uraraka said, looking over the green haired boy in front of her. He paused, before deciding to speak. "They were his bullies, but then again I was one too." He said, "But I don't wanna be one anymore, I don't wanna hurt him anymore. He didn't deserve it in the first place. But, some people don't change. I'm just glad that Dek- Izuku let me change. I'm glad that he gave me a second chance. Or else I would never be able to call myself a hero." Uraraka looked Bakugou, her eyes filled with something reminiscent of hope. "He really helped up out huh?" Hagakure walked into the room, with shame. "God I feel like a shitty person." She said, "You didn't know-" Uraraka tried to defend her. "It doesn't matter!" She screamed. "Midoriya is my friend and I should've been more kind! Christmas was clearly his favorite holiday and I shouldn't have given him shit about it!" Kaminari, Tsuyu, Todoroki and Yaoyorozu all nodded. "We were too harsh." Tsuyu said. "If you guys keep acting like this then Midoriya wouldn't be happy." Uraraka stated. "It's fine to feel guilty, but sometimes you need to just apologize and get over it. Midoriya wouldn't like to see you guys like this." She said happily, "So just be happy okay?"
"Deku told me when I was younger that Christmas wasn't just presents and holidays. It's a celebration where people come together and have fun. I didn't believe what he was saying before, but that fucker was right. It isn't just presents and shit. So you fuckers better suck it up and be happy alright?" Bakugou said. "That was very out of character Bakugou, kero." Tsuyu stated. "Like a bad fanfiction, kero." Bakugou growled. "Shut up fucker."
