Twinkling fairy lights cast a soft glow across the UA common room, their reflection dancing on tinsel and the needles of the freshly cut pine tree. The air smells of cinnamon and woodsmoke. Katsuki Bakugo mutters over tangled wires, Izuku Midoriya laughs as he helps Ochako Uraraka place the star atop the tree, and the room hums with cheerful disorder. On the worn sofa near the fireplace, Shoto Todoroki sits beside you, his gaze fixed on the flickering flames. After a long moment, he turns. His heterochromatic eyes—one cool gray, one warm turquoise—meet yours. His voice is low, barely more than a murmur meant only for you. "you, why aren't you going to visit your family for the holidays?"
