One in a Billion

Christmas Special: December 24th - Evening

"So, I'll prepare the meat for tomorrow, would you mind helping me start with today's dinner? I think a hot pot would be nice." Mitsuki asked as she pulled out food from the fridge. "Of course. Just tell me what to do and I'll get started." She smiled. "Ah shit. I forgot about the vegetables! I knew I forgot to put something on that damn list." Mitsuki exclaimed. "Let me call Masaru quick before we start." She said, reaching for her phone. "Wait a second. What vegetables do you need?" Hina asked. "Enoki mushrooms, shitake mushrooms, cabbage and spring onion. But they wouldn't get back here in time, even if they were to rush." She sighed. Hina rolled her sweater's sleeves up. "No problem, just give me a few minutes." Mitsuki looked confused until she saw Hina's hand go green and start to grow greenery from it.

"Woah." She sighed, in amazement. "This is my Botany quirk. It lets me grow anything I want. Since I know the molecular structure of those vegetables, they'll grow even quicker, and much tastier." As she explained, she couldn't help but feel happy. She noticed her hair start to glow yellow. "This is another one of my quirks. It just changes the colour of my hair based on my emotions." She said as Mitsuki was rendered speechless. "You're... you're amazing! Katsuki is lucky to be surrounded by someone as badass as you!" The compliment made Hina blush. She started explaining about her multi quirks as the vegetables grew and as Mitsuki prepared the food for the next day.

Katsuki growled as he and Masaru walked into and past many shops. "This took longer than expected. We should be getting home." Masaru sighed. "No! We can't go just yet!" Katsuki exclaimed as he stomped into another store. Masaru sat on a bench outside, wondering what had him in such a state. A few minutes later, he came out of the shop, empty-handed. "I can't find anything!" He groaned as he sat down next to his dad. "What are you looking for?" Masaru asked. "...I haven't gotten anything for Hina yet. Nothing I see feels right. I don't wanna screw this up." He confessed, hanging his head low. Masaru was deeply impressed by his son. "I'm sure whatever you pick for her, she'll love." He pat Katsuki on the back. As he raised his head, he couldn't help but see a familiar face in the crowd of Christmas shoppers.

"Wait a sec." He said, standing up and running through the crowd. "Hey, Ponytail Girl!" He yelled, getting her attention. "Bakugou?" She asked, watching the boy stop in front of her. "You know my name is Momo Yaoyorozo, right?" He rolled his eyes as he caught his breath. "I need you to make me something." He said, pulling out his phone and scrolling through his photo gallery. "This! But make it glass." Momo looked at the picture. "Ooo, that's pretty. Who's it for?" She asked. "None of your business." He snapped back, earning a fed up look from her. He sighed. "Hina. It's for Hina. I can't find anything nice for her but I think if you can make this... she'll love it." Momo smiled at his honesty. She handed back his phone. "Okay give me a minute." She unloaded all her shopping bags into his hands as she rushed into a nearby clothes store.

He waited until she ran out with a small box in hand. "Sorry, I had to use a changing room. Here you go." He took the box and gave her back her bags. "Hopefully that's what you wanted." She smiled as he opened the box and smirked. "It's perfect." He put the box in his coat pocket and pulled out his wallet. "Oh, no. Bakugou, there's no need to pay me." She reassured, gently pushing his hand down to decline. "Consider it my Christmas present to you. Have a good one!" She said, waving and continuing with her afternoon. He walked back to Masaru. "Who was that?" He asked. "A classmate. She helped me with Hina's present. Let's go home, I'm freezing my ass off out here."

"Dinner's almost done and Katsuki just texted me that they're close. I'd say we done pretty well." Mitsuki smiled as the two girls leaned against the kitchen counter. "If I ever have another kid, I'm praying it's gonna be a girl as sweet as you." She said, nudging Hina. "That's nice of you Mitsuki." Hina smiled. "Or I'll just have to wait til Katsuki makes it official and gives you a ring." The comment flustered Hina, causing her face and hair to blush. "I-I've never really thought of marriage." She stuttered out. "All I'm saying is if he doesn't pop the question, I'm beating him up and asking you for him." Mitsuki smiled.
