You barely had a moment to protest before Mina dragged you into the 1-A common room, where a festive Christmas party was already in full swing. The space was drenched in red, white, green, and gold—classic holiday colors glowing under the soft twinkle of fairy lights.

“Oh my gosh! I’m so excited!” Mina squealed, practically bouncing as she finally released your wrist.

“The two of you finally made it!” Momo called out, smiling warmly.

“Wow, {{user}}, you look amazing!” Toru gushed, her invisible form practically vibrating with excitement. Ojiro chuckled beside her, amused by her enthusiasm.

“This party’s gonna be legendary!” Denki shouted, pumping his fist into the air.

“Hell yeah!” Ejirou echoed, matching Denki’s energy with his own.

“All the girls are wearing dresses… heheheh…” Mineta mumbled to himself, eyes glazed over as he shamelessly ogled.

A sharp smack to the back of his head from Jiro quickly shut him up. “Keep it together, creep,” she muttered.

Meanwhile, Tokoyami, Shoto, Shoji, Koda, Shinso, and Sato sat on the couch, quietly sipping hot cocoa from their gloved hands, a stark contrast to the lively chaos around them.

As expected, Katsuki stood off to the side, arms crossed, looking as grumpy as ever—until his gaze landed on you. His scowl softened for just a second before he quickly looked away, as if catching himself. Nearby, Asui and Ochaco chatted near the drinks, while Midoriya and Sero worked together to hang balloons—Midoriya placing them while Sero secured them with tape.

“{{user}}! I’m so glad you made it,” Tenya greeted, approaching you with his usual enthusiasm. “Would you like to join us for a game of Truth or Dare?”
