"Merry Christmas!"
Midoriya exclaimed to the young boy with black spiky hair and red hat in front of him. The boy merely smiles back and jumps into Midoriya's welcome arms. Midoriya smiles back and laugh together with the boy. Both were wearing the same matching clothes, with a red coat on top for Christmas.
"Kota-kun, Sosaki-san, Merry Christmas!! And Welcome to Azure."
(He is saying this in Engrish
"Kota-kun, Sosaki-san, Merīkurisumasu And Werucome to Azure")
"Merry Christmas to you too Midoriya-kun!"
"Merry Christmas... Midoriya-nii chan!!"
Kota jumps down from Midoriya's arm and follows Midoriya as he lead them into the shop. Sosaki was Midoriya's teacher during his high school years and Kota was her nephew who had gotten closed to Midoriya over the past few years.
All three of them enter the shop and Sosaki left the two boys together while she looks for flowers for her fiance. Midoriya and Kota went to the counter where Uraraka was checking today's selling documents. She was wearing a thick brown coat with reindeer horns on her head.
"Kota-kun, accompany Ochako-chan for a while, I'll go assist your aunt!"
After saying this Midorya rushes to where Sosaki was and find her in Poinsettias line. Fortunately, poinsettias have not been sold out yet. Most of the time around Christmas, Azure will be packed with many customers. Most of the customers were teenagers who have forgotten to buy presents for their connections running around to get a good present for them.
"Your fiance does love Poinsettia..."
"Well, yes... speaking of fiance... when are you getting yourself a lover, aye? I know that you have your own reasons but don't you think that you might get lonely??"
"Ahaha... you do know me Sosaki-san... I never really thought about have one... but I do hope that there is someone out there who would accept me..."
"Of course there are, you have us, your friends and even that hot headed Bakugou!! Speaking of Bakugou, they are having a live concert today right??"
"Hai... they really are hard working... to be having a live concert even during Christmas..."
Midoriya takes the pile of flowers from Sosaki's arm and carry them to the counter where Ochako and Kota were singing Christmas songs. YumeXX are, just like Sosaki said, having a life concert today at UA city. Since, Midoriya's city was pretty close to UA, they can even hear the fans screaming out there. The live concert still haven't started though.
"They sure are... you are a big fan of them right!! I can say that you are a true fan, you know most of the YumeXX's fans are mostly after their good look or their fame... but you... can't see their look but you get drawn in by their songs... now you are a true fan..."
"Don't say it like that, I'm sire there are many fans out there who get intrigued by their songs..."
As a blind person, Midoriya find it very hard to like a celebrity or someone from their physical appearances since he can't see them at all and that is why he always has to go for their hearts instead. He has to admit that being someone like that is also not bad. There are many people who look out for him, even the unexpected Bakugou Katsuki, Midoriya's hot headed childhood friend.
"Thank you for visiting, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!"
"Merry Christmas and have a good time next year!!"
"We will!! Bye bye~"
"Deku-kun, we better get ready. It is almost time!!"
"Right!! Let's go, we have to close the shop first!!"
Midoriya and Uraraka quickly closes the shop door after truning the tag 'CLOSED' and rushes into the store. The prepare to leave the store throught the back door, with both of them taking out their umbrellas and putting on their warm clothes. Midoriya grabs the flower bouquet that he ahd prepared beforehand and he is ready. They do have a reunion tonight.
UA bridge
"Hah... it's getting late... I suppose I should return back. They might be panicking... or even worried."
A 'woman' with blak hair exclaimed quiet to 'herself' as 'she' leans onto the bridge. 'She' was wearing a thick black coat with black baggy pants. 'She' is also wearing black sunglasses and a black mask. 'She' has 'her' head covered in a hat with 'her' hands inside 'her' coat pockets. Despite this, 'her' ears are red from the cold.
'She' stare off into the sky filled with dark clouds and was lost in 'her' thoughts for a bit. 'She' later regained 'her' senses and looks at 'her' phone to see the time and that there was no signal. When 'she' saw the time, 'she' went into a panic state and started running back to where 'her' friends were probably waiting for 'her'.
UA city
"Uraraka-chan, do go ahead. I'll catch up later, I have something to do."
"Are you sure you'll be fine? Take the cane for your safety."
"Alrighty, I'll catch up later. Bye!"
Midoriya waves his hand to his friend who looks back worried snd smiles reassuring her that he'll be fine. The reason why he has to stop in his tracks, despite being already late to the reunion is because he found something interesting or heard something interesting.
He taps his cane onto the ground and he could hear whispering around him. Probably from side walkers who moves out of his way. He doesn't really mind the attentions he is getting or more like he has gotton used to it. Although he might feels better if they don't whisper around or give him too much attention.
He quickly walks towards the lady that was across the street. The lady is as he had expected a sharman. Sharman are practically Connectors who works as a predictor. He some bypassers talking sbout how she gives away good luck charms to those who comes to her for predictions as a Christmas present.
Midoriya is a type to believe in predictions, fates and destinies. So much for being someone who not trusting of his connection, he is still religious at this. He sits down in front of the lady and asked if he can have his future predicted.
"Well, well, what a rare customer... you are a connector yourself aren't you? Let's see... may I have your birthday, month and year?"
"Of course, it's July 15, *"
"Ah... July 15... your palm please... my, my... what a lovely fate you have there. Now then, I shall tell you what I see, listen carefully... I suppose you still have not met your connection. Well, in the near futue, you shall be meeting them in a garden filled with flowers. From black, your world filled with colours. However, you must only look into the future for turning back will only crush both of your worlds. The two of you must break down the walls that each other puts up and only then shall death do you part. Now here, take this key. This will helps you when the time comes. Now runs along, don't you have somewhere to be??"
"Umm... ah... y-yes... of course. Thank you and Merry Christmas, Miss..."
"Merry Christmas to you too, Midoriya. Stay green and fresh like your name. Oh and be careful of who you will bump into today, they are hot and cold."
Midoriya is not sure what to make of this moment. He takes out his cane and started running toward the reunion while thinking of the lady's prediction. He is not an idiot not to know what she was talking about. He will be meeting with his connection in the near future in his shop. And a little bit of hope left in him, wish that 'black filled with colours' means that he will get his eyesight.
More so than that, he wonders how the lady knows his name. She must have heard of him from others, since he was well known around the area as the blind florist but he didn't expect the name to spread till UA city. And is the lady saying that he will bump into someone or something? Just as he thought of that he bumps into someone and Midoriya couldn't think straight.
"I-I am sorry. I wasn't being careful..."
"No it's my fault... are you hurt... ah... you are blind? Let me help you up, I'm sorry. Although may I ask you something?"
"Ah! No problem at all...and ask away..."
"Which way is the YumeXX show starting?"
"Oh... umm... since we are now at block 7...ah!! Turns back to Block 3 and then straight ahead. You will see Endeavour restaurant there, then tuns right. That's where their life show is!!"
"Thanks. Here's your cane and be save. Merry Christmas!"
"Merry Christmas and you're welcome. Be save..."
Ok, now Midoriya is confuse. Maybe he doesn't need the good luck charm since he has been getting a lot of Merry Christmas blessing from almost everyone he met today. And the lady was right about bumping into someone but why hot and cold though?
He was not sure who he bumped into but he was sure that it was a male. The voice sounded a bit unclear probably because of something that covers the male's mouth. Maybe a mask.
Midoriya brushes off the thought and rushes to the reunion since he might have been more than late by now. And everyone might be worried. Not to mention, YumeXX might be starting and he can't miss it!!
UA city
YumeXX backstage
"Alright everyone, do get ready. We wil be performing soon after all~"
Yaoyozoru MoMo, or Creati, YumeXX's personal director and sponsor. She takes care of personally the members and is responsible for their debut. She is also well known for being a Young Miss of Yaoyozoru family but now become well known for her directing skills. She is the connection of Kyoka Jirou, or Earphone Jack, the leader of YumeXX

"Well we better not fu*k up next year then... this year is a mess..."
"Oi oi... Katsu... stop trying to ruin the mood!!"
Hanta Sero, or stage name Cellophane, the lead dancer and guitarist said to the man sitting on the chair besides him. Bakugou Katsuki, stage name Katsu, scoffs away with curses as usual. Denki Kaminari, the pianist of the band taps on Cellophane shoulder looking very worried.
"Cellophane... ya sure ya make it?"
"Well, I can't mess up tonight... it might be my last after all... just let me off this once 'kay?"
"Sero..."
The dancer Cellophane has some leg injury and some arms as well which makes him unable to try some dance moves. The dancer begged the members to let him stay for another night despite them saying that it might effect his health. Which of course makes his lover worry a lot.
"Sero..."
"Alright, ya two can fu*king mess around later. Right now, where the f*ck is that damn basta*d!? The show is about to start!?"
"Right... now that you mention it... he is quite late... someone call him over..."
"Wait!! Hahh... hah... hah... I'm here..."
Shoto shows up holding the black wig in his arms. The others look at him and runshes to his side. Seeing that Shoto has his clothes on for the show, they high five.
"Thank lord. Well, we better get ready... oh Todoroki, do you want to put on some make up??"
"No, I'm fine. Though thanks for asking, Momo."
"Well, don't ya fu*king tell me that ya got lost..."
"I did..."
"Well f*k hell!!"
"Guys get ready!!!"
Jirou shouted and all the members know what is up. They started taking their own instruments and put on their mics. The show is about to start. They could hear their fans counting down the time they would be starting, 10:00 pm. Starting from the 30 seconds.
Idol Katsu, the drummer was already on the stage spinning his drum sticks around in his fingers along with Idol Red Riot besides him wih the bass around him. The other members soon join them Creati looks at them behind the stage with a proud smile. Their first Christmas as YumeXX is going to be lit for sure.
"Saa... let the show begin!!!"
"Kyaaaa!!!!"
"Hell fucking yeah!!"
The crowd of fans ended their counting and the stage light shines on YumeXX's as he shouted the words which makes the crowds go nuts. Then, with the three taps of drum sticks, the show starts.
