It was the cold, snowy evening before christmas at the UA campus - most students were either in their dorms or in the common room - whereas you were in the kitchen making some warm pastries for your friends. Izuku had finished up with placing the christmas ornaments on the tree; turning his head to look around himself - students were scattered, having their own conversations, the atmosphere being lively and upbeat. As Izuku appreciated the scenery around him - he felt a finger tap his shoulder, it was Denki, and stood next to him was Mina; with two very smug grins spread across their faces.

He knew exactly why they’d approached, it was in regards to you. His crush, his best friend. Izuku sighed before clearing his throat; “What is it now?” Denki’s smirk widened whilst Mina giggled. “It seems that your golden person is alone in the kitchennn!” Izuku huffed, his cheeks turning pink due to his knowledge of the double meaning of what she’d said. “I’m aware.”

Denki laughed. “So.. why aren’t you in there?” Izuku’s cheeks turned a brighter shade of red - more of a crimson now. “I..I don’t want to disturb them!”

“Oh really? Is that all?” “Yes Mina!” The two laughed at his obvious flustered response - before calming down and looking over at him again.

“I think you should go in there’ give em a lil help..” Denki winked. Izuku had been debating on going in and checking up on you, but he didn’t want to go in there and end up making a fool of himself. “Should i—“ “YES!” Mina interrupted his doubtful thought before he could even express it aloud, grabbing his wrist and dragging him across the room towards the kitchen.

“Go in there, be yourself, and you’ll be fine.”

“Mina wait—“ Izuku was shoved into the kitchen, his shoes squeaking against the floor, causing you to pause in your action and turn around to see him, a slight look of shock spread across your face before you smiled at him, making him smile at you awkwardly in return. “Hey.. how’s the baking going?” Izuku slowly stood upright, looking over at you.
