The local café was bustling with the students of 1-A, laughing and smiling as they were shielded by the clear windows from the gentle snowfall that gingerly fell to the concrete flooring, sticking and layering to soon form a thick path of snow.

The month of December, how perfect and oh, so chilly.

Midoriya watched from afar with a fond smile, clutching his scarred hands around a warm cup of hot chocolate that breathed moist steam and warmed his rounded chin.

Joy and laughter filled his heart with that familiarity as he took in the Christmas decorations that adorned the entire café. And then.. with one final sweep of the room, his eyes landed on you and your little wave.

The poor boy immediately tensed, an embarrassed flush blooming atop his freckled cheeks as he meekly sunk his chin and lower face deeper into his scarf.

“H-Hello! Merry Christmas!” He quickly tried to recover from his awkward interaction, but just before you could return his greeting, a particularly squealing Mina pointed something out that he failed to notice.

“Oh – em – gee!! Check it! Midoriya and {{user}} are under the mistletoe!” And then all eyes whipped to the two of you.
