Christmas was Momo's best and worst time of the year. She loved hanging with her family and getting presents but didn't like the presents she received. She appreciated them but ended up with so much stuff that she could easily buy. It kind of became a boring holiday. That's not to say she didn't have fun; she absolutely enjoyed giving people gifts, as it always brought a smile to her face when they got what they wanted. She enjoyed it and, with her new-found mission, wanted to give Midoriya one of the best presents he would ever get. She had thought long and hard about what to give him, as she knew it had to be special. She planned on giving it to him during their Christmas party.

She admitted this would be a little harder than usual, as Midoriya has kind of been avoiding being alone with her. She doesn't blame him after her halloween stunt; Midoriya has been avoiding her when he sees her walking down the hallway alone, when somebody leaves, or even during spars where they are 1v1, and when he does talk to Momo, he stutters a lot more and avoids eye contact, which makes Momo happy and nervous, as she knew her plan was working, but it would be hard to know what the best thing is to get him without speaking to him alone. She thought long and hard about what to get him, and she made a private list of what exactly not to get.

No night out with teenage rebelliousness (Unfortunate)

No All might merch (Everyone gonna get him all might merch)

Nothing hero-related (Besides all his might, He spoke about having enough for a while.)

That short list wasn't helping her situation about getting him the perfect gift, and she doesn't know what to do. She couldn't ask Midoriya directly, and most of his classmates tend to talk, but the best bet would be a certain explosive boy. She pulled out her phone and began to text.

Momo: Hey, Katsuki. I need help.

Almost immediately, he began to write a response.

Katsuki: TF you want, ponytail.

Momo: I need help with a present for Izuku—nothing all might or hero-related. Something that he always wanted but was too afraid to ask for.

A few moments passed before an answer.

Katsuki: whats your budget?

Momo: Are you really asking me that?

Katsuki: Good point

A few more moments past before another text came.

Katsuki: Are you in love with him, or do you just want to fuck him? If the latter, then how much, and who knows? Don't give me a fucking speech about how the perfect guy you ever saw is and you want to marry him. If you are going to give me that speech, then I am ignoring it.

The question made Momo pause for a moment, as she never really thought about an answer to that. She stared at her phone for a moment before answering.

Momo: Both; I spoke to Jirou about it, so only her. I like him about as much as I love encyclopedias.

Katsuki: For the love of all might, that much? You own like fucking 20 of them.

Momo: 26 to be exact,

Katsuki: Anyway, I, Pinky Pie, Icy Hot, and Invisibility know as well. You are not the best at hiding it.

Momo: I know Just tell me what to get.

An hour passed as I was waiting; it was 5 days until Christmas, and she wanted something perfect for him.

Katsuki: a bike, scooter, roller skates, or a day out.

Momo: Midoriya wants one of those?

Katsuki: He needs a day out. Take him to your mission, get drunk, or just have him chill. He needs a day to relax, as he has been through a lot and his anxiety is through the roof. Midoriya is 16 and wants a motorcycle. He knows how to ride one, as he used to ride my mom but never owned one himself. If you don't want to seem weird or obsessive about getting him that expensive of a gift, just go with roller skates; they're inexpensive.

Momo thought long and hard about what he said as she stared at her phone before texting back.

Momo: How bad is his anxiety?

Katsuki: Midoriya Anixety is bad; he has nightmares at night, wakes up at 3 a.m., and is there when I see him around 7:00 a.m., ready for school. He gets nervous easily, thinks people are always after him, and doesn't want to risk commitment, which is most likely why he hasn't asked you out yet. He thinks he is going to eventually die and doesn't want to make people sad when he gets killed, stopping a major villain. Don't blame yourself for not noticing; he tends to hide it.

Momo stared in shock at the response that was given, as she didn't know how to respond. He always seemed nervous, but he never considered his anxiety to be this bad. Now, he wanted to make Christmas extra special for him and wanted to make sure that this was the best Christmas party he would ever have.

Momo: Thanks,

Katsuki: No problem; Deku deserves you. Dinner is ready for 15.

Momo smiled as she knew exactly what he was going to get him and made him give Katsuki plenty of cash and a new all-around figure as well. If she wanted everything to go perfectly, though, she needed to hurry. She grabbed her laptop and went shopping online, making sure that whatever he got, Midoriya, was perfect.

The holiday party was pretty hard to plan, and to make it less crowded, the teachers decided to split each department into different areas of UA. Class 1A got put in PE grounds with some wood on the side. The area was big, but making everything look festive was difficult, but with help from Ochako and Momo, they managed to clean it up nicely. Everyone was doing their part, and even Aizawa and Eri decided to show up and lend a hand. The only person who was not seen was Midoriya, who was by himself in the kitchen making food and drinks. Momo offered to cater, but Midoriya declined, saying he wanted to make the food, and nobody dared deny him the opportunity to cook as he was the best in class, with the next best being Bakugou.

With help from class B, they managed to clean the place up with poles and lights and brought in tables, a stage and dance floor, and a stage for karaoke and Jirou to sing music. They had a designated table for presents. To not get everyone a present, they decided just to choose 1 to 2 people and to coordinate with each other to make sure everyone gets something. Momo decided to use this to her advantage. She was asked who she was giving a present to, and she would say Jirou. She got Jirou a new electric guitar with speakers as a quick last-minute present.

Momo decided to hide her presents as they were rather large, and she wanted it to be the best surprise ever. Momo wanted to go check on Izuku but, at the same time, didn't want to seem like a weirdo while doing it. She was anxious and repeatedly walked by and forth in the far back, trying to decide if she should go after him or not. Her mind was racing with thoughts of potentially disappointing Midoriya when somebody said something.

"Oi, Ponytail Girl," She turned her head to see Katsuki and relaxed as she waved and asked, "You need something?" Katsuki scuffed and spoke, "You hang out with Midoriya too much; you even mumble like him. We are all about to go inside to get dressed so you can go spy on Midoriya, then come on." Katsuki turned around and walked away. She noticed her other classmates were watching, but Momo was frozen in shock with red on her face before she ran over to Katsuki and asked, "How do you guys know that I like him?" Momo decided to ask as they walked side by side. "Its kind of obvious once you realize that Deku only sees ochako as a friend." Momo nodded and continued to walk as Katsuki looked at Momo and sighed, "Ochako is suspicious as hell that Midoriya may be into someone else and is getting kind of jealous and more seduce-y if that makes sense. Put on your game or Midoriya will be dating her. We both know midoriya doesn't have the heart to reject one of his best friends."

Momo thought for a moment as she took Katsuki's words to heart. She has noticed Ochako being a lot of touchy towards Midoriya. She always knew Ochako had a crush on him; everyone knew this except Midoriya, as he was obvious or very good at faking being obvious, and Momo knew she had competition. She wanted to press her feelings aside for Ochako, but she simply can't. Even if they don't last long, she wants to treat Midoriya like he deserves to be treated and kind of make him a prince to her princess. Now that she is thinking about it, maybe she is a little obsessed with Midoriya, but she doesn't care. She reached into her pocket and pulled out her wallet before handing Katsuki a hundred-dollar bill. "Thanks; You are not that big of an asshole than I thought."

Katsuki stared at her for a moment before he kept walking, "I don't need your fucking money." She grabbed his shoulder and spun him around before shoving the $100 bill in his chest. "Katsuki, you have been a huge help. Take it as a Christmas present," she said, walking past him as he grabbed the money and cursed under his breath before pocketing it.

Momo walked into the dorms with everyone staring at her, which she was confused by. She followed their eyes till she stared at Midoriya as he was moving fast, working on multiple dishes with multiple pans of food on the table stacked on top of each other. Katsuki walked in and, without hesitation, walked over to Midoriya and looked to see what he was making as he lifted the tin foil and the other scuffed before asking, "Are you going to be ready for the party?" He asked, and Midoriya looked at Katsuki and nodded before speaking, "Yeah, I'm just working on two more things. My gifts for you guys are in my room; go grab them for me and bring them to the party when you get changed, please, kacchan?" He asked as he threw him his key, and Katsuki scuffed before catching them and walking away to head upstairs.

Everyone was still a little shocked, but Momo was the first to speak. "How much did you make?" She asked, and Midoriya laughed a little before answering, "I made dumplings, egg rolls, noodles, orange chicken, meatballs, mini sandwiches, baked a vanilla and chocolate cake, cookies and brownies, lemonade, fruit punch, and bread punch. I am making jalapeno poppers for Kacchan." He quickly went into the freezer and grabbed a cheese cake before grabbing a knife and cutting out a slice. He grabbed a fork and scooped a piece before going towards Momo. "Try this," he said as he held it up. Momo was a little shocked at first but quickly ate the piece of cheesecake, as she loved the look on Midoriya's face when he was seemingly proud of it. She was surprised for a moment before moaning in pleasure as Midoriya jumped back, a little surprised. She quickly cleared her throat before speaking, "It tastes really good." Midoriya smiled before he quickly grabbed a paper plate and gave her the slice.

He was smiling brightly as everyone was still in shock. "Todoroki, can you get someone strong and not clumsy to help me carry this stuff to the party?" He asked and Shouto nodded, "I see you guys at the party." He quickly rushed to get to ready to the party as Momo looked up before scarfing down her cheesecake and throwing it away. "The party is in 30," she said, running upstairs as well, and everyone quickly followed suit.

Everyone got ready. Todoroki and Izuku, with the help of Kirishima and Sero, managed to get all the food to the party in time. Momo was the last to get there and was happy with everyone wearing different outfits; most notably, Shoto was wearing a custom Santa outfit that matches his hair and scar; Mineta decided to go as an elf; Ochako was wearing a skimpy as she seemingly looked for Midoriya; Tokoyami went as a dove; Iida went as a reindeer; and Midoriya was nowhere in sight. It was so hard to find that green bean during social events. She decided their was no reason to look and socialized with Jirou, who was singing Christmas carols with Kirishima, Kaminari, Tooru, and Eri.

Before everyone knew it, it was present time, and Iida was in charge. He spoke in a loud voice, "All presents will be given in alphabetical order for the receiver; each table has a letter, and that is where your present will be." Everyone nodded and proceeded to go to their tables. As she walked by, she saw a few of her classmates presents: Denki got a giant pikachu, Eijiro got a punching bag, Fumikage got matching headpieces for him and Dark Shadow, Hanta got a working Spiderman mask, Ibara had gotten a rose, and Itsuka had gotten boxing gloves. Izuku had shown up for the presents and opened the first one to be given an all-powerful gift. She decided to stay a little longer to watch him open his other present and saw him look inside of the box before quickly closing it and looking away from the box with his face red, which made Momo slightly worried but continued to walk as she walked past Katsuki, who was laughing at his gift of multiple nerf guns and Jirou gift of the electric guitar, which she smiled proudly at and waved at me. Momo got to her table and stared at the two presents that were left for her: Mineta got a Victoria Secret Magazine, which she was thrilled about; Mina got new dance shoes; Mezo got a bat costume; and Mashirao got a karate outfit.

She looked at both presents and both was from Midoriya, She glanced over to where he used to be and back at the presents, one was an envelope and the other was a large gift that was wrapped big, It was unclear what it was but she knew she wantedShe shallowed before opening the envolpee first with 2 tickets, to Hamilaton tickets that had been sold for ages that had just got a Japanese version coming out this year. She watched the American version and always wanted to see it live and had an extra ticket to invite anyone that she pleases. She glanced over at the other gift and swallowed hard as she grabbed the box and opened it. There was a piano. She hadn't used a piano in ages, and she stared at it as if it were already full. She pressed a key, and it was like her fingers moved on their own as she instantly started playing Beethoven before stopping as she realized that everyone was looking. She looked away shyly before leaving her gifts their and walking over to Katsuki. "Where is Midoriya?" She asked, and Katsuki thought for a moment before answering, "He's not good with crowds; try the most secluded area you can think of."

Momo thought for a moment before looking towards the woods. "Thanks," she said, and she walked over as she needed to grab her presents anyway. She walked by some bushes before calling out, "Midoriya?" She asked, and she heard rustling before Midoriya appeared in his festive green outfit and pointed ears. Midoriya looked at Momo, trying to keep his eyes up before he spoke. "You, uh, look really cute. Did you need something?" He asked in his shy voice as Momo smiled, "Thanks, and you look just as hot as ever. I wanted to give you your present; come on." She said as she quickly grabbed his hand and pulled him towards her as she began walking in that direction. She noticed his backpack and his gifts were probably in there as well, Midoriya was little shocked before speaking, "You didn't need to get me anything." Momo just looked back and smiled before rushing through the woods to show Midoriya a gift, which shocked him; it was a motorcycle.

Before Momo could speak, "2022 VENOM X22 full-size motorcycle, this thing must cost like $2,000." He said as he walked closer and Momo laughed a little. "Yeah but it was worth it to see your reaction," She said and Izuku looked back and forth before backing up. "I can't take this; Its too much. You should return it." He said and Momo giggled before speaking, "Those tickets and Piano are expensive; i think its only fair and I won't take no for an answer, My mom got it for me after I told them it was for you and they agreed." Izuku was a little shocked and leaned against a tree, taking a moment to think as Momo walked closer. "Izuku, Its for you; I won't take it back, and you know you want it, so accept it. I can get you a place to keep it if you can't keep it at UA." Midoriya looked at her before walking up and hugging her tightly around her waist before looking up and speaking. "Thank you," he said, and Momo decided to seize the opportunity. After a moment, Momo backed up. "Thanks, you can head back; I think I am going to stay here for a bit," He said as he sat against a tree and Momo just sat down with him. "Listen, Izuku. I was also hoping to take you out on a day out during Christmas break, go shopping, hang out, go back to my place, etc." She said casually as she smiled and Momo looked a little shocked as he thought for a moment before speaking. "Sure, that sounds like fun." Izuku said as he looked away nervously before asking, "Momo, can I get some advice? Ochako kind of asked me out, How should I reject her? and Momo wanted to know more as she asked the big present, "What do you mean, kind of?" She asked, and he simply went into his backpack and pulled out her gift before handing it to her.

Merry Christmas, Midoriya. Do you want to come to my room after the party when everyone is asleep? I was hoping to have some fun afterwards.

Momo was shocked by the note she read and looked at Midoriya, who was red. She thought for a moment as Izuku was ready to hear it before speaking. "How about you tell her that I already asked you out?" Izuku looked at her for a moment and blinked as he thought for a moment before realizing what she meant about hanging out with her before speaking. "Listen, even if its fake, I don't want to tell people you asked me out; I've been through a lot and amn't put together mentally. I love your passion and personality and how you treat me, but I am just too messed up and have a lot of stress, and I don't want to put that on you, fake or not." He said and Momo stared a moment before cupping his face and speaking. "I don't want to force you, but I promise you that I can handle anything, and if something happens, you don't need to worry about me; I want us to try. You clearly like me, and I like you. You don't need to tell me what you have been hiding at once, but can we try and improvise along the way?" She asked while looking at him, who glanced away to think. He was mumbling to himself before finally speaking, "You are able to break up with me at any time; you can choose how fast or slow you go; I will try my best." He said this as she smiled and cupped his face. "That's all I ask," she said, moving in a little closer and smiling. "Can I kiss you?" she asked, and Midoriya gulped and nodded. She thought for a moment before thinking, as she smiled, "I have an idea." She began to form something in her hand as she made a mistletoe, which made Midoriya laugh a little. "How do you want?" Before he could finish, she pulled him in and kissed him passionately. He was stunned for a moment but relaxed which allowed Momo to sync in more.

She knew this all felt a little rushed since she just found out in September, but with Ochako trying to get with him, she thinks its for the best. She still had her goal of Midoriya kissing her first, which was going to be tough to do, but she was happy with what she had so far.
