New Year's Already?

Part 1/2

Summary: Bakugou only made one New Year's resolution, but it was already Christmas and he was nowhere near completing it. With only six days left in the year, would he be able to accomplish it in time or will it be too late?

~~~~~

It was 8 am on Christmas morning when Bakugou had woken up from his alarm clock. If it had been any other Christmas morning, Bakugou would’ve felt an abundance of joy and energy as he ran down the stairs to see the presents that his parents left him under the tree. However this morning, Bakugou woke up in his UA dorm room feeling more glum than ever. Bakugou only had one thing on his Christmas list, but he knew that no matter what, not even the fat man with magic, could give Bakugou what he truly wanted. Because of this, when some of his classmates came up with the idea of doing Secret Santa, Bakugou was completely against it. It wasn’t because he was a Scrooge who hated fun, he just couldn’t think of a gift to ask for. Unfortunately for him, thanks to majority rule, the gift exchange ended up happening after all, and Bakugou had to think of something random to put on a wish list.

Bakugou sat up from his bed and turned his alarm off. He let out a yawn as he rubbed his eyes to try to feel more awake. After a few minutes, he managed to get out of his bed and put his slippers on. He crouched under his bed and pulled out a neatly wrapped gift that had a fabric bow on the top and on the tag it read, “To Izuku.” Bakugou worked hard to make sure that the presentation of his gift was perfect. He took inspiration from Pinterest and watched a lot of YouTube videos to make sure everything was as good as it could possibly be. He even practiced his handwriting several times before actually writing Izuku’s name on it.

Bakugou carefully grabbed the gift and walked out of his dorm room down to the commons. He placed the gift under the Christmas tree that the whole class had decorated together. He looked at the gifts and noticed that almost everyone had already placed their presents under the tree. Usually, Bakugou would be curious to see what he got, but despite seeing the gift that had his name on it, he would have cared less to even take a peek at it. Once the gift was under the tree, Bakugou took himself back to his dorm room, as he still had a few hours to spare before it was time for everyone to meet and open presents.

Once Bakugou was back in his room, he laid down on his bed, pulled out his phone, and scrolled through TikTok to try and cheer himself up. Thirty minutes had passed and Bakugou was only feeling worse and worse. Bakugou's for you page was usually filled with random videos, usually of cute cats. Cat videos usually cheered him up but when he saw a video of two cats being cute with each other captioned “us,” he became angry. He never thought a video of cats being loving would make him so angry. Out of pure frustration, he threw his phone across his room, which made a loud noise as it hit his wall. He sat in silence for a moment until he heard the voice of two students in the hall outside of his room.

“Deku aren't you excited? It's Christmas!" Uraraka was filled with joy as she skipped through the halls with Midoriya following right behind her.

“I’ve never seen you this thrilled before, you must really like Christmas.” Midoriya was speed walking in order to keep up with Uraraka’s fast pace.

“Christmas always makes me feel happy especially when I'm around the people I love. Even though I'm not with my parents right now I still get to be here with you.” Uraraka had stopped skipping through the halls. Without her realizing it, she had stopped right in front of Bakugou’s room.

“Yeah, I guess that does make it more special…” Midoriya smiled.

“And I'm so excited to see what I got! Last year my parents got me a brand new pair of shoes and I was so happy. It was my first pair since forever that wasn't thrifted” Uraraka pointed down at the white shoes that she was wearing.

“Now come on Deku let's be the first ones in the Commons before everyone else gets there!”

“Uraraka we still have almost another hour, are you sure you want to go now?" Midoriya yawned as he was still sleepy, and his face showed it.

“Who cares, it's Christmas!"

Bakugou had heard every word of the other two’s conversation, and he felt his heart sank. The amount of joy that was audibly heard from Midoriya and Uraraka made Bakugou’s day go from bad, to worse.

“What the hell was I thinking?! I never stood a chance…" Bakugou felt tears forming in his eyes.

“This holiday is so stupid!” He stood up from his bed, grabbed his pillow, and threw it across his room.

He went up to his desk and kicked his chair to the ground. With the chair out of his way, he slammed both his first into his desk as he activated his quirk, turning the papers that were on his desk into ash. He tried to hold back his tears but once he let a single tear drop, he couldn't stop the rest. He only cried for a minute before he was able to snap himself out of it. He convinced himself that it was stupid to cry about something that he knew was going to happen eventually. It was obvious that Midoriya and Uraraka had chemistry and that they were going to end up together, even if he tried not to see it.

“If only I had brown hair, if only I were a girl… Maybe I’d at least have a chance…” He picked up his chair from the ground, slammed it back down, and kicked it.

“Damnit, I’m acting like an idiot. I need to sleep this off.” He laid down on his bed and reached out for his pillow, only to remember that it was on the other side of the room. He decided to sleep without it, as he was already relaxed and comfortable. It only took a few minutes for Bakugou to fall asleep, as he was exhausted from the meltdown he had just had. He shut his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After eight years of saving every single penny that he had, Bakugou was ready to buy the perfect hero costume for Izuku. He had sketched out the design over a hundred times, determined to make it the best it can be and finally, the time had come. The case that held the costume was in Bakugou’s hands and now all he had to do was give it to the person he loved the most. Bakugou had rehearsed this day over and over again, countless times in his mind. He was going to gift the suit to Midoriya, they’ll form an agency together, and they will be with each other for the rest of their lives.

“So Izuku do you like the suit?”

“Wow, I mean, I can’t believe you did all of this for me…”

“Now that you have this, you can be a hero again. We can start an agency together, just like what we always dreamed of!”

“Kacchan, I really do appreciate all of this but, I don’t want to join your agency.”

“W-what..?” For Bakugou, time felt like it had abruptly stopped. The world around him became distorted, and nothing felt real.

“Well, Katsuki, we’re not kids anymore. Not only that, but I don’t have the time to be a hero. I’ve got a full-time job as a teacher, I have a wife and a child to take care of. I just really can’t be a hero now.”

“R-right that does make sense. I mean it only was a suggestion.” Bakugou felt himself fall apart. His whole world had been shattered and there was nothing he could do about it. If only he had been brave enough to ask Midoriya out when they were young. If only he didn’t crumble up his New Year’s resolution, which was to finally go out on a date with Midoriya. Bakugou heard a loud banging noise surround him that only grew louder.

“It’s alright Katsuki, you still have a different gift to give me today.” Midoriya crouched down and said to Bakugou, who was currently lying on the floor.

“What are you talking about? This suit was the only gift I had.”

“Did you already forget about Christmas? Wake up”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Kacchan wake up! We’re all waiting on you!” Midoriya shouted as he aggressively banged on Bakugou’s door.

Bakugou woke up suddenly, his body was sweaty and his breathing was heavy. He looked at his alarm clock and noticed the time.

“Shit, it’s already ten o'clock. I’m supposed to be in the commons!” Bakugou quickly got up and opened his door, only to be jumpscared by Midoriya, who was still standing outside his door.

“I’m surprised you slept in Kacchan, especially on Christmas.”

“You damn nerd why’d you have to knock on my door so damn loudly?”

“Someone’s cranky this morning.” Midoriya chuckled

“Shut up and get out of my way!” Bakugou pushed Midoriya to the side and walked to the commons.

All of class 1A was now gathered in the commons and were ready to celebrate Christmas together. All the girls had cute Christmas pajamas, with each girl matching in duos. Kaminari had bought Santa hats for all the guys to wear and passed them out to each of them. Jirou was the one in charge and leading the Christmas party since most of this was her idea to begin with.

“Alright so now that we finally have everyone here, we can start our Secret Santa gift exchange!” Jirou said as she smiled.

“Okay, guys so this is how we're going to do this. I’ll start off by giving my gift to the person I got, and then the person who received the gift will be the next person to hand out their gift.” Jirou walked up to the Christmas tree and grabbed her gift. Once the gift was in her hands, she handed it to Bakugou.

“Merry Christmas Bakugou. I was your secret Santa.” She handed the gift to Bakugou

Bakugou grabbed the gift and admired how nice it was wrapped. The Christmas spirit was starting to come back in him, and he enthusiastically opened the present.

“Holy shit!” Bakugou was extremely surprised with the gift he had received, and so was everyone else.

“Were those not the ones you wanted?” Jirou looked away shyly as she felt a wave of embarrassment flush over her.

“Are you kidding?! I didn’t think you would get me such an expensive pair of headphones! I was just expecting something cheap from the convenience store!” Bakugou held up the box which contained the pair of Apple Airpod Max headphones.

“I don’t understand what everyone is freaking out about. Aren’t those only 80,000 yen?” Momo said as she sipped her tea.

“80,000?! I think I might die just from being close to something that pricy!” Uraraka dramatically collapsed to the floor.

“Yeah, what happened to the agreed budget of 8,000 yen?!” Mineta yelled.

“Guys calm down. You guys do know that I get a bunch of PR for this type of stuff right? It’s not like I eventually went over the budget. Those were a brand new pair that was given to me and I knew it would just be perfect for Bakugou.” Jirou said

“Alright, can we just move on already?!” Bakugou yelled

“Yeah, Bakugou’s right, let us move on from this” Jirou said as she was visibly flustered.

Bakugou stood up and grabbed his gift for Midoriya. He walked up to him, and despite his cold face, he was tremendously nervous to hand his gift to him.

“Merry Christmas you damn nerd.” Bakugou looked away from Midoriya as he handed him his gift.

“Wow Kacchan, just the wrapping alone looks incredible!” Midoriya began to awkwardly analyze the wrapping alone as he was muttering to himself.

“Deku stop being weird and just open the damn gift already!” Bakugou yelled

“Sorry Kacchan!” Midoriya pulled the fabric, untying the perfect bow. Then, he carefully tore apart the paper. The gift was inside a taped-up box that he struggled to open for a minute before eventually having it open, revealing what was inside.

“An All Might squishmallow! This is exactly what I wanted!” Midoriya’s face lit up with joy as he aggressively hugged the squishmellow. “Thank you so much Kacchan!”

“Yeah, whatever. It was nothing.” Bakugou sat on the ground with his arms wrapped around his knees. He did his best to cover up his blushing face and luckily, nobody noticed.

“Now Midoriya go grab the gift you brought,” Jirou said

“Right!” Midoriya stood up and grabbed his present, which was in a gift bag.

“Here you go Uraraka. This one is for you.” Midoriya handed her the bag.

When Bakugou saw who Midoriya was giving his gift, he felt his blood boil. Out of all the people Midoriya could have gotten, of course, it had to be her. Bakugou didn’t even want to see what he got her, so he stood up and went to the bathroom.

“I saw that on your list you said that you’d be okay with receiving anything, so I made sure that what I got you was something very special,” Midoriya said as he watched Uraraka open her gift.

Uraraka pulled her gift out of the bag and what she saw, made her want to cry. “Oh my gosh Midoriya, this is the greatest gift ever.” tears started to form in her eyes as she held up the gift. Midoriya had gotten her a teal juicy couture jacket and a pair of low-rise jean shorts which seemed like a cute gift at a glance, but Uraraka knew the true meaning behind it.

Midoriya leaned in close and whispered into Uraraka’s ear, “Check the pocket”

Uraraka put her hand into the pocket of the jacket and pulled out a note.

“Dear Ochako,

Sorry I couldn't spend Christmas with you. Shigaraki said it would be a bad idea to break into UA even though I have both yours and Izuku’s blood It would make it super easy to get in, but, it’s the boss's orders after all so I’m stuck in our hideout for now.

Anyway, I was at the mall a few weeks ago when I ran into Izuku. Obviously, I started following him around just to see what he was up to, and that’s when I found out he was shopping for you.

I approached him and he started freaking out, his face was so cute, and I told him that I knew the perfect gift he could get for you.

Remember how the last time the League attacked, we got a chance to talk? I told you that I’d buy you a super cute outfit one day and that maybe we’ll even match. So I told him to get you the Juicy jacket, and I also got one myself. Mine is baby pink. As much as I wanted to get you a skirt, I knew you preferred shorts so I told Izuku to get you those while I got myself a cute skirt.

That’s also when I found out that you were telling Izuku about everything we’ve done together such as sneaking away from the battlefield just to have some girl time together. I thought you wanted to keep things secretive but I don’t mind, I like Izuku as well you know.

There’s so much I still want to say to you but Izuku is forcing me to hurry up and finish the letter since he doesn’t want to be seen out in public with me, so lame. Just know that the next time I see you, I want to see you wearing this adorable new outfit, okay?

Bye-bye, for now, I love you

Himiko Toga”

By the time Uraraka was done reading the letter, Bakugou had come out of the bathroom and was back in the commons.

“Wow, Midoriya you’re so romantic” Ashido teased, “So how much longer are you guys going to pretend that you aren’t dating?” She giggled

“No no no you’ve got the wrong idea, really! It’s nothing like that at all!” Midoriya exclaimed nervously.

“C’mon Midoriya you can admit it, we won't be jealous,” Kaminari said to Midoriya as he gave him a nudge on the shoulder.

“No guys seriously we're not dating,” Uraraka said, sounding more serious.

Bakugou just watched as the teasing went on. He thought that he would've been in the bathroom long enough for the rest of the class to move in already. Unfortunately, he was there to witness what was basically a confirmation of Midoriya and Uraraka being a couple.

“Alright let's move on. Nobody cares if they're dating or not." As Bakugou spoke, there was a huge shift in the atmosphere.

“Yeah, Bakugou’s right. Uraraka you should pass out your gift” Jirou continued on with the activity.

Once Secret Santa was over, the class stayed together for about another hour before going off to do their own thing for Christmas.

Now that things had settled down, Bakugou used this as his opportunity to talk to Midoriya and Uraraka properly. He wanted to hear from them directly that they were officially a couple.

The two were sitting down on the couch chatting when Bakugou approached them. Midoriya had his arms wrapped around his All Might Squishmallow since he hadn't let it go since he first got it. It did cheer up Bakugou’s soul slightly when he saw how much Midoriya appreciated his gift.

“So, you two are a couple?" Bakugou said as he tried to sound like he didn't care.

“Kacchan it's really not like that we're just friends”

As Midoriya spoke, Uraraka nodded her head quickly in agreement.

“You guys keep saying that but with the way you've been acting, it's becoming really hard to believe” Bakugou had his arms crossed.

Uraraka let out a sigh, "I can prove to you that we're not, but you also have to promise me that you can keep a secret."

“Sure. So now how are you going to prove it to me?”

Uraraka handed him the note from Toga. “I'm only allowing you to read this because Deku told me that you were good with secrets and that surprisingly you're a very understanding person."

“The reason why we've seemed so close recently is because I'm the only one who knows the truth,” Midoriya said as Bakugou read the note.

“So you guys have been working with the villains?!" Bakugou yelled

Midoriya quickly put his hands over Bakugou's mouth. “Don’t be so loud Kacchan! And no we’re not working for Toga. We only interact with her when she attacks and the moment comes we’re still going to turn her in,” Midoriya whispered.

“Okay well if I’m gonna be honest, I don’t care about what you guys have going on with Toga. As long as you two aren’t dating!” Bakugou handed the letter back to Uraraka as he yelled.

“Bakugou be careful with that!” Uraraka grabbed the note carefully and put it in her pocket.

“Well, I guess now would be a good time for me to leave. I promised my mom that I’d go visit her for Christmas and she’ll be mad at me if I show up late,” Midoriya said awkwardly.

“Bye Deku,” Uraraka and Bakugou said unanumusly.

Now with Midoriya gone, Bakugou had stared intensely at Uraraka, scaring her.

“You’re sure there’s so funny business going on between you two?” Bakugou was close too Uraraka’s personal space as he had completely towered over her.

“No Bakugou nothing is going on! How many times do I have to tell you? Why do you always get so upset anytime me and Deku are hanging out? Do I bother you that much?” Uraraka wrapped her arms around herself and looked down to the ground.

“No round face that’s not it. As corny as this may sound it’s not you it’s me,” Bakugou rolled his eyes.

“What’s that supposed to mean?” She had a puzzled look on her face.

“If you can trust me with your secret, then I’ll trust you with mine. But I swear to God if you spread around what I’m about to tell you, you will die!” He held his fist up to her as a threat.

“Okay I understand! You don’t need to be so scarry about it!” Uraraka brought her voice down to a whisper, “So what’s this big secret?”

Bakugou took a deep breath and looked away from Uraraka, “I have a crush on Izuku, and I’ve liked him for a while now. I told myself at the start of this year that I would eventually confess to him, but I couldn’t bring myself to it. Now the year’s practically over and I failed. I’m gonna be alone forever.”

“Hey don’t be so negative about it. You still have six more days in the year. There’s still time.” Uraraka tried to cheer up Bakugou.

“You don’t get it round face! Even if I did confess I’d still get rejected. Midoriya doesn’t like boys and even if he did, he would never like me. Not after everything I’ve done to him.” Bakugou’s voice was soft as he was having a hard time voicing his feelings.

“I’m sure things will be fine. I might not be the best person to take love advice from but if there’s one thing I know about Deku is that you are the most important person to him. He cares about you so much and would do anything for you.”

Bakugou smiled, “He does always follow me around”

“There you go that’s the spirit. You’ve just gotta go for it Bakugou!” Uraraka had jumped up with excitement and accidentally made herself and Bakugou float.

“Round face put me down right now!”

“Sorry Bakugou!” Uraraka released the two of them and they both landed on the couch.

Christmas went on and Bakugou ended up visiting his family for the rest of the day. It wasn’t until around nine pm that he and his classmates started returning back to the dorms. Bakugou was the first one back and he wanted to try out his new Christmas presents. He opened up the headphones that Jirou got him and connected them to his phone. ected them to his phone. After a long day of many mixed emotions, he need to unwind with some tunes.
