"SURPRISE!" Everyone shouted once the girls made their way inside the main building, slightly shivering from the cold outside with Kirishima following behind as an escort.

"W-what is all this?" Uraraka beamed, immediately being bombarded by hugs.

"It's your birthday girl!" Hagakure excitedly said.

"Happy Birthday." Todoroki gave her a small smile walking up to her while she gave him a warm hug and doing the same to Deku and Iida.

"Thank you guys, this honestly means so much." She gave them all a grateful smile, her eyes sparkling as she looked around at all the ballons and streamers lining the small section they had apparently reserved for this occasion.

"Don't thank us. It was all Hawks and Bakugos idea." Shinso said nodding towards the pro who was talking Mr. Aizawa's ear off along with Present Mic.

"Oh? Well, where is he?" Uraraka scanned the tables to see some of her friends already filling their plates with the buffet display while Jirou started to lowly play her guitar with Kaminari.

"You mean Kacchan?" Deku finished swallowing down his food before answering. "I think he's in the kitchen- but I wouldn't go in there!" he quickly added when he saw her headed that way.

"I thought Bakugo specifically said to keep her busy and away from the kitchen." Todoroki slowly blinked back at Deku who nervously continued chewing his food.

"We'll that was the plan, right Midoriya?" Shinso chuckled slapping the green haired boy on the back who just regretfully put his head down.

Cautiously pushing the swinging door open since she wasn't sure she was even allowed back here; she was relieved to see no one there except a silent Bakugo who was furrowing his brows in concentration and leaning down to examine something she couldn't quite make out with a rather large white box in the way.

Unable to keep the small smile grazing her lips, she shyly closed the door behind her. "Whatcha doing in here?"

Whipping his head in her direction, she heard him curse under his breath when he accidentally banged his head against one of the above cabinets and made sure to block her view. "What are you doing back here? You should be out there with the others." He frustratingly rubbed his head, mentally punching all those morons who didn't apparently understand the concept of keeping her out of the damn kitchen.

"Answering a question with a question is so unlike you…" She mused out loud placing her hands behind her back and pivoting sideways to see what he was hiding.

Pivoting the same way, Bakugo gave her an annoyed look when he saw her take a step to her left then right again making him continue to try and block her. "Ochaco!"

"What don't you want me to see?" she playfully pouted, turning to leave but managed to duck under his arm and come to a complete stop when she saw what was sitting on top of the counter.

Nervously rubbing his head Bakugo exhaled loudly. "I just barely managed to finish it."

Staring at the beautiful, decorated cake on the counter she felt her mouth part. "This is beautiful…"

Scoffing, he walked closer to inspecting a section of it that from the look of it, wasn't up to par. "Yeah, well it was a pain in the ass to bring all the way up here without those dumbasses trying to sneak a taste."

Smiling to herself and placing a lock of hair behind her ear she nodded. "Thanks Katsuki."

Watching her from the corner of his eye he gave a slight nod before he refocused his gaze on this invisible imperfection she couldn't see, and frowned when he didn't say anything else.

She could feel it, the tension of their previous fight as well as something else she couldn't quite place her finger on, and truth be told she was hesitant to even ask him about it thinking that maybe he was still upset.

Without looking at her he shook his head in defeat at the cake, already getting to work in putting away the utensils he used. "Go ahead, I'll be right out with this."

Stubbornly puffing her cheeks, she reached out her finger on the spot he had been glaring at and in one quick motion swiped a good amount of frosting before lifting it to her mouth.

"What the fuck Ochaco?!" He stood there gawking and staring at her incredulously at what she just did, and after all his hard work too.

"What? It tastes yummy!" she grinned, finding humor in the way his eye started twitching. "Here want some?" She innocently stared up at him not missing a beat to swipe some more frosting and lifted it up to him, and she swore she saw the vein on his temple throb.

Slowly breathing through his nose, he dangerously narrowed his eyes. Boy did this girl really know how to push his buttons.

"Well, a least now you don't have to keep staring at whatever it was you were staring at." She shrugged. "It doesn't have to be perfect. It still looks good to me."

Too stunt to respond to her comment he blinked a couple times before leaning back down to try and salvage what he could until he saw her finger still outstretched close to his mouth.

"Here."

Shaking his head when she kept insisting, he suddenly stood up, jolting in place when she accidentally smeared it over his left cheek and mouth.

"Oops…" Pressing her lips together to keep her laugher in check, she saw his unamused face slowly blinking at her thinking that maybe this was the best time to leave.

Clicking his tongue and nodding his head, he reached over her and grabbed a towel from the rack intending to wipe his face, which is when she couldn't hold it in any longer and began laughing.

Swiping a good amount of frosting onto his finger he gave a slight smirk before wrapping his arm around her waist before she even had time to run. "You think this shit's funny huh?"

Laughing, she desperately tried to get out of his hold, letting out a loud squeal when he turned her to face him and did the same to her face. "Ok ok Katsuki please stop!" She smiled even more when she saw the smile on his face growing as he laughed.

"You give up?"

Watching her stubbornly shake her head as he continued to smear her face, he opened his mouth to respond but was caught by surprise when she suddenly tried to pull the same move again, but he managed to grab her wrist with his right hand instead. "Woah don't think so Angel face."

Her chest rose and fell as her laughter slowly died down, and watched with widened eyes as he smirked and lightly licked and sucked the frosting from the tip of her finger and leaned closer to her. "You taste good."

"Um…" Keeping her eyes on his as they drifted to her lips, she saw all humor leave his face and be replaced with such intensity it made her knees weak. Slowly closing her eyes as his lips barely grazed hers, she was about to help close the gap until she placed her hand on his chest to stop him. Perplexed he furrowed his brows at her opening his mouth when the sound of a ballon deflating caught their attention.

"You think we should tell them we're here or…" Sero quietly whispered.

"Erm I think they know." Kirishima awkwardly grinned at both of their growing red faces as they stared back at them.

"I um…I'll see you guys out there." She quietly said, removing her eyes from him and briskly walked out of there.

"I can't believe this. I work my butt off for the last couple of hours to make this fancy dish and I see you guys eating the cake first?!" Kaminari huffed basically throwing the large serving plate he was holding on the counter.

"It's chips and dip dumbass!" Bakugo barked. "A monkey could've made that!"

"Well, you wouldn't let me bring one like I asked!" Kaminari pouted.

"Alright guys, how about we save this…interesting conversation for another day huh?" Kirishima chuckled already working on getting everyone out of the kitchen sensing Bakugos frustration.

Keeping his red gaze on the counter, Bakugo kept racking his brain about what the hell was going on. It didn't matter what he did, it just felt like she kept moving further and further away from him.

Hearing the conversation that she had with the girls earlier didn't make things any better either. How did he fuck up so bad? Scoffing to himself he tried to think back about what he did wrong in the first place. At first, he thought that it was because she got jealous but then the more, he thought about it, the more he realized that couldn't just be it and the words the therapist said kept repeating over and over in his head no matter what he did.

After he placed the cake on the table with a few gasps of amazement, followed by Mina questioning him about what happened to it with Kaminari still pouting, he stayed until she blew out the candles and watched her smiling and chatting with everyone before he sneaked out into the cold crisp air.

"Hey Uraraka." Kirishima said standing next to her and taking a bite of the cake. "Another year older huh?"

"Seems like it." she quietly said, staring at the doors. "Hey Kirishima…?"

"Hmm?"

"Is he ok?"

Taking his sweet time to slowly chew on his small piece of cake before swallowing and clearing his throat. "Who?"

With a pointed look she gestured to the doors. "You know who."

"Oh, erm well…I wouldn't really say that I know-"

"Kirishima."

"Uraraka…why don't you ask him." He quietly said. "I mean I know that you're mad and all…but just make sure it's for the right reason, ok?"

Slowly nodding, she was about to leave when someone walked up to them.

"Hey kid! How about a birthday picture with the two awesome birthday people?" Hawks grinned moving her to take pictures.

"Thanks Hawks this has been great, and I know it's your birthday tomorrow-"

"Nah it's fine. I usually don't celebrate things like that." He waved off.

"Really?"

"No, I actually do." he chuckled. "It's just my adulting party will come once I come back." He winked.

Rolling her eyes, she lifted her hands up in exhaustion. "Why do I even ask?"

As the snow continued to drop down through the already dark sky, Bakugo kept his eyes on the slowly covered ground. He could hear the soft music and laughter from inside but that's something he wasn't in the mood for at the moment. 'Tch when are you right?' he scoffed to himself knowing the answer.

He was happy to see her overjoyed face when everyone was here celebrating her birthday with her, but those damn words kept coming back to haunt him, and no matter what he did he couldn't shake them. He hated to admit it but with the way she had been acting…it kept stirring them up even more now.

'A relationship is the farthest thing she needs right now… She doesn't need anyone to distract her or confuse her especially with someone who still has their own issues to work through…''

Rubbing his hands together, he looked down, closing his eyes and trying to push that away.

'I don't think you can truly give her what she wants or needs. Not from someone like you.'

Tightening his eyes shut, he silently shook his head.

'It would be best for you to stop fantasizing about things that may never happen for you...'

"Hey."

Snapping his eyes open at the gentle voice from behind him, he kept his face down watching the soft snow continue to land on his boots.

"You would think that by now you would make it more of a challenge for me, but I still manage to find you." She softly giggled sitting herself next to him on the steps.

"Not like I was trying to hide."

"No." she mused to herself nodding. "But you've been disappearing more."

"I have huh…" he lowly said knowing that she was watching him with those big brown eyes he cared so much about. Which was one of the reasons he preferred to currently keep his eyes averted, knowing that she could melt away any doubts he had, but knowing that as soon as she left all those thoughts would come crawling back.

And he knew that she would eventually leave.

"Katsuki…" she softy said looking at her hands. "I want to apologize for getting angry before when I knew I shouldn't have. It's just…" Chewing on her lip she felt the nerves get the better of her since he wasn't saying anything. How was she supposed to take that? Was she right to believe he was still annoyed at her?

"It's just what?"

Glancing sideways she furrowed her brows when he still kept his gaze to the ground. "What's going on? Lately it seems like something's bothering you. And I wish you'd let me help."

"You can't help me." He bitterly scoffed.

"What?"

"So, you're telling me that before, it was just an excuse to be pissed off at me?" he gruffly said.

"No! not exactly." she quickly said. "I was mad at first-"

"Why? Have I given you any reason?" He snapped his head in her direction.

"No-"

"Right." He clenched his jaw watching the dark sky. "Ochaco let me ask you something…"

"What?" she whispered feeling as though the apology she had made didn't go as planned, and that maybe she just made things worse.

"What do you see happening in your future? What do you see happening after graduation?"

Shaking her head and wrapping her arms around herself she hated that question. "You're starting to sound like Ms. Yano." She softly giggled to herself.

"Don't mention that…don't mention her." He caught himself, placing his elbows on his knees and mouth resting on his fists. "Please just answer the question."

Taking a deep long breath, she thought about it for a moment and thought about their conversation during their second date. "Well, we talked about it already…"

"Yeah, but that was hypothetical. What about now?"

"I guess my answer would almost be the same as before…" she paused. "Helping my mom and working for Hawks. Watching as we all become the heroes we're meant to be. I guess that's all I can ask for." She quietly finished looking away and feeling like there was much more to be said but for some reason those words and questions were too scared to come out.

Maybe the reason why he's been acting so strangely is because maybe he was having second thoughts about them. And that frightened her because she knew that it would break her if he did.

Looking back at him she gave him a small smile as he watched her intently with those crimson eyes that would draw her in and never wanting to look back. But the moment his eyes lost that small glow and he looked away; she knew that he was expecting her to maybe say something else. Maybe something more. "Katsuki, is there something you want to tell me?"

Lifting her hand to his mouth, he placed a soft kiss on the back of it, getting to his feet and pulling her up. "You've got a party to get back to."

Slowly nodding she realized he never answered her question and for the first time could see how unsure he looked. "Are you coming?"

"Yeah." He gave her a tight-lipped smile grabbing her hand.

"Hey watch it!" Mina yelled, receiving a face full of snow that her loving and now grinning boyfriend threw at her. "Not funny babe!"

"Oh, come on. What, you can do it to us but we can't do it to you? That's not very fair."

"You're lucky you're cute." Mina laughed.

"Thanks." Kaminari and Sero smiled.

"Ugh not you!"

Giggling Uraraka tried to keep her attention to the people behind her. How did her morning turned out like this she didn't know. All she knew was after breakfast she found herself huddled with half of her class in a small makeshift ford that Todoroki made while the other half of the class waited. It gave them something to do before they opened the slopes for the day.

"Hey no fair! You guys have ice boy with you!" Hagakure shouted.

"Doesn't matter. They're all going down." Bakugo wickedly grinned busy making more snowballs to add to their growing pile with the other half of the class.

"Eh remember this is a no quirk thing." Ojiro chuckled next to him.

"Don't need it to win."

"Of course." Kirishima grinned, rolling his shoulders in preparation before an overly excited Hawks gave them the go ahead.

"And remember no-"

"DIE!"

"Ok. I guess you may start." Hawks pouted.

"No damages." Mr. Aizawa said leaning against the rail and drinking his hot coffee.

Jumping up they quickly started throwing snowball after snowball, laughing whenever someone got knocked down.

"Gahhh!" barely dodging a few that came her way, Uraraka was having a hard time trying to see where everyone was, crawling on the ground when the other team started advancing on them. "They're coming!"

"Damn." Todoroki whispered under his breath.

Clutching her stomach laughing, Uraraka saw Todoroki give her an amused smile when she heard him knowing that he was probably suffering the most out of all of them knowing he could win this fight in two seconds if they were allowed to use their quirks. "Too serious Todoroki, it's just a- OW!"

She pouted feeling a snowball land on the back of her head with Kaminari laughing.

"Take that gravity villain!"

"No need for name calling!" She shouted back. "Crap they're coming!"

"Scatter!" Mineta franticly screamed when everyone started running off in different directions and before she knew it, everyone was throwing snowballs left and right and apparently it didn't matter whose team you were on anymore.

"What happened to teamwork?!" Iida frantically tried dodging various snowballs headed his way and wishing he could use his speed.

"What teamwork?" Deku laughed and received a snowball to the head. "Hagakure!"

"This is war!" Hagakure roared throwing snowballs in every direction.

"Wow Hagakure really gets into this stuff huh?" Sero snickered, flinching when she turned to him. "Woah now, I'm on your team!"

"There's no team here!"

"I surrender!"

"There's no prisoners of war either!"

"Crap!" he yelped before landing face first in the snow. "So not cool."

Covering her mouth to keep as quiet as possible, Uraraka managed to be a safe distance away from the rest, crouched down so no one could see her. Shaking with the force of trying not to laugh she saw Hawks making frantic hand gestures in her direction. "Huh I can't understand you!" she whispered.

After all their time training and the pro had yet to teach them that. "Figures."

With careful steps she flinched when she heard the snow crunch beneath her white snow boots. A ball of snow in her right hand just in case for when she turned the corner, she was startled to find Bakugo step out with his usual battle-ready smirk.

"Gotcha."

"EEP!" screeching she felt him drop a good amount of snow on her head before playfully rubbing it in making her squeal out and run away, but not before she aimed a good shot directly in his face watching as the snow slowly drop revealing a newly energized Bakugo.

"Oh, you're dead now."

Running as fast as she could, she felt him gaining on her, cackling behind her and picking up snow every so often to throw at her, which she luckily dodged along with a few others from their class. "What's the matter boom boom boy losing your aim?"

Grinning, he saw her slow her pace allowing him the opportunity to jump over a pile of snow and just as he was about to close in on her, he heard her shout.

"NOW!"

"Wha-AGH!" covering his face he saw most of their class already waiting and without hesitation started throwing snowballs in his direction. "JUST WAIT… TILL YOU ALL RUN OUT! THEN I'M GOING TO MURDER YOU ALL ONE…AGH…BY ONE!"

The minute he finished his sentence, everyone scrambled away trying to either find a safe distance away or throw some at everyone else including Hawks and Mr. Aizawa with the latter slowly placing his cup down.

"Wanna teach them how it's done Aizawa?" Hawks cracked his knuckles.

"They'll be sorry."

Laughing Uraraka just managed to get both Deku and Todoroki while they were busy throwing them at each other.

"BOO!"

"EEP!" Covering her face, she felt Bakugo jumping behind her swiftly turning to face him and wrapping his left arm around her while his other continued to smear snow in her hair.

"Thought you could escape me huh?"

"AGH Katsuki!" She laughed and tried to free herself from his snowball onslaught.

"Say it!"

"I give!" she giggled opening her eyes and felt him now wrap both of his arms securely around her with a giant grin.

"You know your cheeks look so fuckin red right now from all this cold." He chuckled, watching her warm eyes staring back at him in that familiar way that made his soften.

"Hey…" she pouted but it didn't last long once he placed a soft kiss on her forehead, allowing her to close her eyes and move to stare up at him. Lucky for her she barely had time to move out of the way when a snowball came racing towards his face and hitting its target.

"Dude, I got him!" Kaminari proudly grinned until it slowly vanished the minute Bakugo whirled his head in his direction. "…and now I'm dead."

"Come…here…Pikachu."

"I-I'm sure he didn't mean to-" Uraraka winced watching her boyfriend slowly advancing on him.

"Oh no he really did."

"Yup." Sero and Mina grinned watching them run back and forth.

"Hahaha yeah man I so did!" Kaminari laughed dodging and swerving between people.

"Not really helping yourself Kaminari." Jirou rolled her eyes making little, small snowmen with Tsu and Yaoyorozu. "Children."

"Help! Help!" Switching between laughing and screaming in fright, Kaminari finally made it back and swiftly grabbed Urarakas arms hiding behind her. "Wait I have immunity! Save me Uraraka!"

"Eh?" Slightly losing her balance at the taller boy now standing behind her, she sheepishly smiled once Bakugo was standing in front of her peering down at both of them. "I-I have nothing to do with this…"

"Hey!"

Forcing a fake smile which to them look downright murderous, Bakugo took a quick right step but Kaminari kept her in front of him.

"Angel face…"

"Yes?"

"Move."

Taking a step sideways she started laughing when Kaminari did the same.

"This shit's not funny!"

"I beg to differ." Kirishima chuckled laying down on the snow.

"Ooh yay!" Uraraka beamed, skipping over to Kirishima leaving Kaminari gawking after her.

"Oh crap!"

"Come here Sparky!" Bakugo's grin widened.

Giggling after the two Uraraka watched a happy Kirishima.

"What is he doing?"

Turning, she saw Todoroki standing next to her. She gave him a large smile with a twinkle in her eyes. "What, you mean you don't know?" She felt her mouth drop along with Dekus as Todoroki shook his head. "Look, let me show you."

"Ok- OW!" Blinking up at the bright blue sky, Todoroki suddenly found himself shoved into the cold snow wondering what he did to make her mad.

Smiling at the puzzled look he gave her; she shared a look with Deku and clarified. "Just watch us." Carefully falling backwards with their arms outstretched, they both started moving their arms and legs laughing once the cold snow hit them. "Just move them like you're doing jumping jacks and press your head back." She said, motioning for him to carefully get up once done. "What do you see?"

Shaking all the snow from his head Todoroki squinted his eyes at their masterpieces. "I don't know…Angel maybe?" Turning to look back at them he gave a small smile when they nodded enthusiastically. "And this is fun?"

"Yup!" Deku and her eagerly smiled.

"This is so messed up!"

"Huh?" Turning their heads, they saw a frustrated Mineta grimacing at his 'snow angel'.

Scratching his head Deku gave him a reassuring smile. "Erm…don't worry Mineta that looks sort of like…"

"A snowball?" Todoroki proudly asked them. "I think I understand this game now."

Snorting Mina and Hagakure walked up to them. "Oh my god you're too cute! Hey Todoroki, you see that large patch of ice over there?"

"Yeah?"

"Follow us young one." Mina grabbed his arm while everyone followed, making sure it was away from Mr. Aizawa's view.

"Ok ok I'll ask!" Hagakure squealed in delight. "Do you think you can make a big enough castle?"

"Sure." He slowly blinked at them before using his quirk and doing just that.

"Oh my god! It's just like I dreamed it!" Mina gasped giggling like a little girl when she saw Uraraka's eyes widen in amazement. "Now all we need is beautiful dresses and voila, we're all set!"

"Ok…now I'm confused."

"Best not to ask question." Kirishima grinned watching as the girls started running around singing.

"Are you shitting me?!"

"Oh no! It's the angry snow beast!" Hagakure playfully screamed. "Run Run!"

"Hey, just let them have their fun man." Kirishima placed a hand on his shoulder.

Grunting Bakugo felt his lip twitch seeing Uraraka laughing along while playfully twirling around with the girls.

"That was an awesome movie though." Kaminari nodded. "Pretty hot too."

"What movie is that?" Todoroki asked.

"Oh, you know the one with the snow chick and her sister." Sero said.

"She was a snow queen who had issues with her ice quirk."

"Exactly." Kaminari grinned before stiffening his back. "Hi Mr. Aizawa…?"

"Wait you watched that movie?" Sero frowned.

"I have a few nieces." He deadpanned. "And didn't I say no quirks?"

"Oops…"

X

Zipping her pink puffy jacket up and making sure her white gloves and matching beanie were secure as well as her skis, she tried hyping herself up since it's been a while and rarely had the chance to do this.

"You ready?"

Turning to see Bakugo standing next to her with his snowboard, she cheekily smiled. "Born ready."

Once safely seated inside the chairlift, that's when she started mumbling to herself about how high up they were, glaring at him every once in a while when she heard him chuckling.

Sticking her tongue out, she regretfully turned to look back down. 'Crap shouldn't have done that Ochaco!' Feeling her breathing pick up, she accidentally flinched when he grazed his gloved hand with hers watching him frown.

"No, it's just…ok maybe I'm a little nervous." she quickly said, hoping he would believe her. "It's actually been a while since I've been able to do something like this."

"So why not start easy?"

"You mean the kiddie slopes?" she gave him an unamused expression making him laugh out.

He smirked. "Look, I heard they had more stuff up there we can check out first, then if you feel more confident…" he let the words trail off knowing she understood.

"Fine." Scooting closer to him, she saw him carefully watching her as she leaned her head on his shoulder, and he wrapped an arm around her. "I've missed this…" she quietly said after a while. now able to enjoy the sudden calmness of the place. There was snow as far as she could see and even though it was freezing, she loved being able to snuggle up close to him.

She could see their breath coming out of their mouths as they breathed in only for it to disappear from sight within the next few seconds.

"Yeah?"

"Mhhmm." She hummed, tilting her head up when she felt him lightly tug on the light pink scarf he gave her last winter she had on and felt the blush appear on her cheeks at the small smile he gave her. She couldn't help blissfully sighing at the way he was still staring at her.

His eyes held so many emotions that it froze her on the spot, but this feeling just became so overwhelming that she was about to move away until he lifted his hand and ever so gently tilted her face with his fingertips so she could face him. He tenderly placed a sweet kiss on her lips. So soft and careful in fact as if he was scared of breaking or losing her.

When she felt him slightly pull away, she slowly opened her eyes, still a bit dazed, and gave him a shy smile which he returned, and let his fingers lightly graze her cheek. "Katsuki?"

Apprehensively parting his mouth as if he wanted to say something he slowly snapped it shut and instead tugged her closer to him.

"Eww come on!" Kaminari groaned from a few feet behind laughing when he saw Bakugo flip him off as Uraraka returned to leaning her head on him with a bright blush on her face. "Jirou….?"

"Don't even think about it." She rolled her eyes but started laughing when he made kissing noises and playfully hugged her. "Kaminari!"

"Just one!"

When they finally arrived at the top, they were all met with the rest of their class either renting out equipment or already enjoying the large slopes surrounding them. Carefully eyeing the sled Bakugo was carrying with a huge grin on his face, she already knew what he was thinking even before he excitingly grabbed her hand and dragged them outside.

"No."

"Come on." He grinned making himself comfortable on the sled.

Raising a suspicious brow when he turned expectedly at her and smugly patted the space in front of him. Rolling her eyes, she timidly sat in between his legs, feeling her heart race as soon as she felt his breath tickle the shell of her ear.

"Alright, you ready to kick their asses?"

"W-What?" She quickly turned her head, feeling her cheeks flush when her cheek rubbed against his, but saw him already smirking at the others next to them with a hint of red on his cheeks. "We're racing?!"

"Oh yeah." He eagerly bounced to make sure they were ready to go. Smiling, she found it cute how even with his competitive nature he still managed to look like a little kid ready to be told when he was able to run wild. "What?"

Fondly shaking her head, she gave a small giggle when he purposely leaned his chest closer to her and tightened his hold.

"You just keep talking bro. But we're going to be victorious!" Kirishima laughed receiving a playful nudge to the ribs from Mina.

"We're not racing babe!"

"Oh, we're not?" Deku pouted. "Wait, where's Kaminari?"

"Moron is stuck going round and round on the chairlift. Ears is trying to help him down."

"Either way, let's get going we have people waiting." Todoroki said quickly pushing off with his sled.

"Agreed." Iida said following along with his sled.

"Damn it!" Bakugo shouted watching Todoroki, Deku and Iida head off. Peering down at a determined Uraraka, he could see that fire in her eyes that made his stomach flutter.

"Let's do this."

"Hell yeah!" He grinned not having to be told twice before they made to catch up, followed by a screaming Mina as Kirishima pushed off.

"No!" Mina shrieked, covering her face, and switching between yelling and laughing with everyone else.

Once at the bottom, Uraraka felt her cheeks hurt with how much fun they were having and swiftly stood dusting all the snow from her black pants while Bakugo did the same, never stopping to argue that they had won while everyone tried to protest.

After Mina's persistence in taking a few group pictures they all made their way back up with Bakugo returning the sled and left to go snowboarding while she followed some of the rest to ski.

Taking a deep breath from the fresh crisp air, she felt her knees shake and breathing pick up just staring at that ginormous slope in front of her as she creeped up in anticipation.

Exchanging smiles, Mina gave her a knowing look as if reading her thoughts. This was nice. They were all able to finally just let loose and enjoy their time together and just be regular kids. Which was so hard to do lately. And there was going to be no way they weren't going to take advantage and enjoy themselves before going back home.

"Alright babe." Mina winked getting into position next to her and Tsu. Whipping their head around the moment they heard Hawks, Kirishima, Tetsutetsu, Todoroki, Awase and Bakugo racing their way down, shouting and laughing. "Well, they're having fun."

"HAHA!" Bakugo shouted jumping into the air, twisting his body and board effortlessly, spinning twice with a perfect landing and continuing on down the slope.

"Well, that looked easy…" Mina snickered hearing Uraraka laugh.

"Yeah, I bet." Uraraka shook her head, turning back to the snowy slope waiting for her. Not giving it another thought nor allowing herself to chicken out, she just threw herself down and instantly felt the cold wind slapping across her cheeks. Smiling as the adrenaline pumped through her body. It was a combination of excitement, exhilaration and a sense of freedom all wrapped into one.

She didn't stop there. Following along with her friends they took different paths each time as if challenging themselves. The trees SWOOSHED pass her everytime with their amazing scent of pine that would easily invade her nose and stay in her memories forever.

After another round, she slowly halted next to Mina who was curiously staring down a different path they had yet to explore.

"What about this one?"

"I'm not so sure we should try it, considering the caution sign." Tsu tapped the wooden sign. "Could be dangerous."

"Doesn't look too bad." Mina said, eyeing a few skiers who raced past them and into that path. "We could do it."

With her head to the graying skies Uraraka nodded. "Well let's hurry up then, we should be heading back soon anyways, it's almost dinner time and Jirou and Yaoyorozu will have a field day if we miss out on the bonding time they have scheduled.

"I suppose so…" Tsu reluctantly nodded.

"Come one Tsu, what's the worst that could happen." Mina winked.
