Christmas Eve was tomorrow, it would be of both cheesy romance and emotional value to Yaoyorozu. Her educated guess was correct, their indeed was loving meaning behind it. There was to be a common room sleepover for everyone, and Bakugo was going to make sure Midoriya understood his worth to them. It would also be her moment to express her own emotion of him.

Unbeknownst to the wolf tail girl, Midoriya had decided that it was a sooner or later. It was truly a matter of rejections only lasting moments, but regrets lasting for life.

He didn't want to keep going with the weight on his shoulders, the weight of breaking someone he was trying to save. If and when the possibility is true, that maybe she loves him as well, then it will be his greatest step forward in being a hero. For giving her hope...

and his absolute heart.

'I'm never alone now... I have so many amazing people at my side. I'm sure one more couldn't hurt, one more to be my life's greatest relief... I Love Momo Yaoyurozu.'

He looked over his shoulder to the onyx beauty's table, knowing his most precious gift was nervously dependent on a yes or no. He had a twinge of satisfaction for finally aaccepting his feelings for the girl and finding some confidence to take the chance, the moments of the world just seem to fall on that sole heroine.

While Yaoyorozu continued to talk with her usual group, she was remembered her own role in this plan. After their first Christmas dinner together, she was to lead him over to the sea of mattresses(courtesy of Bakugo's savings) for how close she was to him now. They would all lay to sleep with someone the meant so much and yet didn't realize it, because they almost didn't have him one day. When told of his wrist scars and the history behind them, it was a wakeup call of how different and difficult things had been for Midoriya. They wanted to change his perspective and let him know he was loved, not just as friends, but as family.

And as something more in Yaoyorozu's case.

Midoriya was about done cooking with Sato and Bakugo, and the rest sat around reminiscing on the year. It had been hectic and dangerous, sure, the threats and bruises were all so worth it to them now though. Setting the table and food, everyone chowed down on the 5 star food. Yaoyorozu was taking small glances at her oblivious role partner, and of course, he was flat out adorable to her. As the table was cleared and hour and a half later, all of them "made their way" to the their dorms.

The mattresses were put into place while held along the edges by Sero's tape and down by Mineta's hair. Yaoyorozu plucked up courage while her peers finished up, her heartrate going up by generous amount. Making her way to Midoriya's room she felt a little sad and proud, for one day the would be pros and no longer together. The world just felt right this way, but it was going to feel better.

Knocking on the green bean's door, she awaited with baited breath. Immediately locking eyes when the door opens, a stammering contest begins. Bith unable to say anything whatsoever.

"Oh uh."

"I- I ugh."

"Y- you first."

"N- no, you first please."

Now they stood in awkward silence before Midoriya decided to come clean.

"I-... I've actually been wanting to talk with you..." Yaoyorozu was waiting in anticipation, hoping it was what she had been wanting since their date.

"I-I've said it time and time again that I would do my beat to protect. I've thinking somethings over, my decision is that it can be true...As long as your with me at my side."

"Izuku... You have done enough for me when you needed help. Somehow, you managed to turn this all around as something for me. If your still insisting to protect me, then let me protect you too.

They both looked into each others eyes, a flicker of the other showing. Without even hesitating, they both wrap themselves in each other and meet each others lips.

It was passionate kiss for sure, one that held every bottled emotion. As they slowly pull apart, a blush apparent on both their faces, the can't help smile at the long awaited moment that passed.

"I love you Izuku/Momo."

After a few moments of hugging, Midoriya remembered Yaoyorozu had come to him about something.

"Hey Momo, didn't you need to tell me something? Aside from... you know."

"Follow me... sweetie~" His blush made Yaoyorozu beam and she took his hand in hers.

Making it to the common room, Midoriya was surprised to see 6 queen sized bed mattresses tied together. The tipping point seeing Class 1-A all sleeping together and an open spot for 2 in the middle.

"Your loved Izuku, and you always will be. Especially by me." Finishing her emotion with a heartfelt kiss, the two made their way to the open area.

Taking the spare blanket for them, he lays next to Bakugo and below Uraraka while Yaoyorozu sleeps in front of Jirou and Shoji. They snuggled in each other's warmth before Midoriya drifted off with one final thought.

'So, I'm loved huh?' A soft smile forms as he feels Bakugo lightly hug him from behind lik they used to in sleepovers, and the smile grows as he lays his eyes on Yaoyorozu's beautiful sleeping face.

'I never noticed...But I do now.'
