A Very Merry U.A. Christmas!

I woke up at around 5 in the morning. Glad I got to sleep a whole 4 hours! I decided to get up for the day and I walked out of my room to head to the common room. I saw stockings with each of our names on them. They were quite large! I decided to wait until everyone else was awake to look through mine. I walked over to the kitchen and decided to make Momo breakfast. I guess I never cooked before but eggs and bacon should be easy.

[10 Minutes Later...]

I nearly burned myself at least 3 times while I was making breakfast for her, but I gave it a taste test, and the eggs tasted great! The microwave dinged and I pulled the bacon out of it. I put a couple pieces of bacon and the eggs on a plate. I grabbed a tray and set it on there alongside a glass of orange juice. I walked back upstairs to Momo's room, the one question I had was this: How was I supposed to open her door?

I balanced the tray on one hand and opened the door, I managed not to drop or spill anything! I closed her door using my leg and walked over to her bed. She rubbed her eyes and slowly sat up. I sat the tray down in front of her and kissed her on her forehead.

"Merry Christmas, darling!" I greeted.

"Aww, you didn't have to make breakfast for me, sweetheart!" Momo thanked me.

"I figured since you've made breakfast for all of us, I could make some for you." I told her.

She smiled at me, "So... How'd you sleep?"

"I got about 4 hours in. I woke up about 10 minutes ago I think?" I replied.

"Well, we should probably figure out something. That's most definitely a sign of Insomnia." Momo guessed.

"Yeah, that's what I kind of figured." I sighed.

There were footsteps racing up the stairs and I heard a door open.

"LEONIDUS-SAN IT'S-" Kaminari yelled from the outside.

He stopped and raced over to Momo's door and quickly opened it, "LEONIDUS-SAN IT'S CHRISTMAS!"

"Yeah! D'ya see the stockings we got?!" I asked him.

He shook his head and I lead him downstairs, thanks to his yelling, it woke everyone up.

"Woah! Awesome! Look at this!" Kirishima exclaimed as he pulled out a bag of candy and other gifts from his stocking.

I looked through mine, I got candy and two presents from Ms. Mirko! Mina pulled out her phone and started recording.

"Hey! We should make a memory outta this! Our first Christmas together, this'll be fun!" Mina grinned.

"Go on man, open 'em!" Sato told me.

I opened the first present from her, it was a thin box. I opened it and I lit up with joy!

"EEEEEEEEEE!!!" I squeaked.

"What? What is it?" Deku asked me.

I read the plaque off to them, "To Leonidus: I, Rabbit Hero: Mirko, grant you the title of 'Sidekick'. Of course, being that you're still attending U.A. High, you can't exactly patrol the city with me. But once you graduate or even when you're on break, feel free to head on by! Do your best out there and keep up that tenacity! - Rabbit Hero: Mirko."

"Woah, that's awesome, Leonidus-san!" Ojiro beamed.

"What's that other thing next to you?" Momo questioned.

I grabbed the other gift that Ms. Mirko got me, I opened it up and it was some sort of game system.

"YO! Is that a Switch?! She bought you one of those?!" Sero exclaimed.

I nodded, this was so awesome! I couldn't wait to open my Secret Santa present! After everyone looked through their stockings, Shoji and Deku passed out the Secret Santa presents.

"Alright, Aoyama-kun, you're up first!" Uraraka told him.

Aoyama opened up my gift, hopefully he likes it! He looked at the case and studied it with great curiosity. He unlatched the case and opened it, he gasped with excitement.

"I-It's... It's beautiful! Who did this?" Aoyama smiled.

I waved my hand, "I did! I had some help from Hatsume-san."

Aoyama got up and hugged me, which I honestly didn't expect.

"Thank you, mon ami! This is truly dazzling! ☆" Aoyama smiled.

"Hey, don't mention it! I knew you'd like it!" I replied.

We went through everyone after Aoyama, they all got some pretty cool stuff. Deku got this Adult All-Might Onesie from Uraraka and an All Might mug! Then, we got to Mineta...

"This has gotta be something good, it smells... feminine!" Mineta seemed thrilled.

He quickly opened up his present and the box that held his present. Inside was a Russian Doll. Inside that was another Russian Doll, then another... Aaaand another...

"Is this some kind of sick joke?!" Mineta whined.

Momo was trying not to laugh, what exactly did she get him? Mineta finally got to the last Russian Doll and his mouth started foaming! Momo got him some sort of swimsuit figure of Mt. Lady!

"I don't care who got me this! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!" Mineta yelled.

As usual, he was hopping around like a jackhammer holding this thing. It was quite the sight to see!

"Alright, Leonidus-kun, your turn!" Iida handed me my present.

The box had some weight to it! I tore through the wrapping paper and opened the box. The contents seemingly shined from the inside. I took a closer look at it.

"No... Way... T-This..." I gasped and grinned.

I pulled it out of the box and held it into the air, "I HAVE IT!! LET'S GO!!"

"Where to, Leonidus-san?" Shoto asked me.

I looked at him, "Oh, it's just a figure of speech, Shoto."

He nodded and I looked at the All Star Series Endeavor figure, I couldn't be anymore happier! I looked at Iida and he smiled at me. I laughed and hugged him, I nearly knocked him over.

"Thank you so much, Iida-san!" I exclaimed.

After everyone opened their presents, Mr. Aizawa & Eri walked in. She was wearing a little Santa outfit! She looked at Mr. Aizawa, then back to us.

"Trick or Treat...?" Eri muttered.

"No, you've got them mixed up." Mr. Aizawa told her.

"Oh, right! Merry Christmas!" Eri smiled.

Eri tilted her head and looked confused, "Where's your Christmas outfit, Mr. Leonidus?"

We were supposed to wear Christmas outfits? Then again, everyone else was wearing a similar outfit to Eri... I guess I completely forgot!

[2 Hours Later...]

The smell of turkey, ham, cookies, and more filled the air! Jiro was playing Christmas songs on her guitar and all of us were having a great time!

"Hey, Leonidus-san, do you know that the ball on your Santa hat is glowing? Also, where'd you get the beard?" Deku asked.

"Yes, I'm not entirely sure why it is. Also, I made it myself!" I told him.

The Christmas Feast was finally ready as Sato called us into the kitchen to eat. I've never been graced with food that looked so delicious! It tasted amazing, too! Uraraka and I had at least 4 plates full of stuff! I crashed onto the couch and she did the same on the other one.

"You feeling it too?" I questioned.

"Yep, I don't regret a single thing though!" Uraraka yawned.

I yawned and then laughed, "Same here!"

After a few minutes of laying on the couch, I sat back up and walked over to Mr. Aizawa. He looked up from his food and greeted me.

"Mr. Aizawa, do you think that I could visit my mother for a bit? I'll be back before 10." I asked him.

"Sure, feel free. Just make sure you don't get caught up with any villains, alright?" He agreed.

I nodded and left for home. It wasn't really snowing as bad as it was yesterday, but it was still kind of hard to see. I managed to find my way back home and I rung the doorbell. My mother answered the door and was taken back a bit.

"O-Oh my, that's quite the getup, Alyx. Come on in!" My mother smiled.

I entered the house and Liz came flying around the corner, "Santa Claus!"

She ran over and hugged me, I knelt down and took my fake beard off. She gasped and smiled.

"ALY!!" She shouted with glee.

She knocked me over as she hugged me and she started tearing up.

"T-This is the best Chrimas gift, ever!" Liz exclaimed.

I chuckled, "Merry Christmas, Liz! It's nice to see you too, kiddo!"

I sat up and Liz got off of me. We walked into the living room where Annie was sitting on the couch! She turned to faced me and laughed.

"Oh my God! I have to take a pic of this!" Annie snickered as she pulled out her phone.

She took a photo of me in my Santa outfit, "Aww... Aren't you just adorable!"

"I'm doing this for a child, a child that I won't hesitate to give my life up for. You're damn right I look adorable in this!" I embraced the outfit instead of being totally and utterly embarrassed.

"Good grief..." Annie laughed.

"Say, speaking of Santa, I've got a whole sack of gifts for the people of this city. It's just a random sack of stuff, you wanna deliver some joy to people?" Annie asked.

"Shouldn't you have done that last night?" I responded.

Annie sighed, "I can't exactly give up patrol for a couple hours to deliver gifts."

Annie handed me the sack and I put on my fake beard as I headed out the door. Thankfully I could fly, this was gonna be easy! I flew into town and landed in the market square.

A child gasped, "Santa Claus! Look Mommy!"

The market's warm embrace washed over me and I smiled. Using my best Santa Claus voice, I declared myself to the boy.

"Ho ho ho! Why, right you are, my boy!" I gave a hearty laugh.

His eyes lit up with a big smile. Soon, the children that were in the market gathered around to get a gift. It took me just a couple hours to just finish the market square! As I flew into the air, I waved to the people below.

"Merry Christmas one and all! And to all, a goodnight!" I shouted to them.

I flew around town delivering presents to the people of Musutafu, I even managed to deliver presents to the League! It was about 9:00 at night once I finally finished , I was exhausted! I looked up to the moon and smiled.

"Man, I don't know how you do it, Mr. Claus!" I said to myself.

I flew back to the dorms, the only lights that were on was the common room lights and the lights from Momo's room. I saw Momo standing on her balcony and I landed down on it.

"Well, welcome back, Santa Claus. How'd it go?" She asked.

"How'd you know I was delivering presents?" I responded.

"A Mrs. Claus secret, that's how!~" Momo giggled.

I laughed and shook my head, "I guess you're right, darling."

I heard jingling of bells in the distance and a familiar hearty laugh. We looked up in the sky and saw... Santa Claus?! A red sleigh followed by 8 reindeer pulling the sleigh flew into the air and into the moonlight.

"Holy shit! It's Santa Claus?!" I exclaimed.

As he flew by, I felt a warmth in my chest, I felt a lot happier now.

"You know, this really felt like that one Spongebob episode where-" I started to say.

"I know, darling, I know!" Momo laughed.

We stood on her balcony taking in the crisp winter air. The city was lit up with hundreds of Christmas lights, decorations, and we even had a huge tree in the middle of town! Momo laid her head on my shoulder.

"Do you wanna know something?" Momo asked.

"Sure, what's up?" I replied.

"Out of all the gifts I've gotten today, you'd be the one I love the most." Momo told me.

I started to blushed, "Aww, don't go getting all mushy on me now."

I heard the dorm doors open, Kirishima ran outside and looked up towards the balcony.

"Hey! This is gonna sound crazy, but this gift showed up on the doorstep for you, Leonidus-san!" He yelled to me.

"Alright! Throw it on up here!" I yelled back down to him.

He took what I said well as he threw the present and it hit me square in the face.

"S-Sorry! I guess I threw it a bit too low!" Kirishima apologized.

"I-It's fine! Thanks, Kiri!" I shouted.

He walked back inside and I looked at the present, it didn't say who it was from, maybe it was from Annie or Mom? I opened it up and looked at it. I wasn't sure what it was at first.

"What is that? It looks like an old wooden chest." Momo observed.

I set it on the ground and unlocked it using the key that was taped to the side. I looked inside this chest thing, inside was a journal, candy, and a necklace of some sort. The journal confused the hell out of me! I picked it up and looked through it, it was already written in. Momo stood next to me and looked through it with me.

"Interesting... Who would've given me this?" I wondered.

"I'm not sure, Kirishima-kun did say it was at the door. It could really be anyone's guess at this point." Momo told me.

I nodded, closed the journal, and then closed the small chest. Momo walked with me as I hauled the chest back into my room. After that, I finally got ready for bed. As I walked back into my room after showering, Momo was laying on my bed.

"Did you really put that Santa outfit back on after you showered? That's gonna get annoying to sleep in, you know." I advised.

"I know, but this outfit is really comfortable. It's like a thicker nightgown mixed with a teddy bear." Momo smiled.

I turned off my light and laid down next to her. Hopefully I could actually get some sleep this time without having to worry about waking up from some nightmare. Momo cuddled up next to me. Right before I fell asleep, Momo sat up.

"I retract my statement from before, this thing's getting irritating." Momo told me.

She took the outfit off and threw it on my floor, "I told you it'd get annoying."

She laid back down and snuggled up next to me again. We both eventually fell asleep. As I slept, I had another nightmare, my father's death and images of Black-Heart flashed. Black-Heart sat in a chair and just laughed at me and I couldn't move at all. Black-Heart stood up and grabbed my mother. I felt tears build up in my eyes as I tried to move but I couldn't. Right before anything happened, I heard my name.

"Alyx! It's okay, I'm here!" Momo urgently cooed as she held me close to her.

I opened my eyes quickly and wrapped my arms around her, my heart was racing! There were tears in my eyes, I've never been so scared in my life. Momo rubbed my back, the combination of her heartbeat and slow, calm breathing managed to calm me down.

Momo wiped my eyes, "Are you alright, darling?"

"Y-Yeah... Just another bad dream, that's all. Sorry if I freaked you out." I reassured.

"No, no. It's alright, I understand. Let's get back to bed." She replied.

Momo kept me close to her and we fell back asleep.
