Christmas was... hard, to say the least. Even if he didn't post a blog ever day or every other day, let it not be known for Izuku Midoriya, Deku, to skip a holiday on Quirkless Pals.

DEKU DAYS!

-December 25, 2019

Merry Christmas friends! Did Santa eat your cookies? Did you find anything cool under the tree? Well for my gift to you...... A RANDOM FACT! Of course ;)

The Santa figure we all know and love was actually created by Coca Cola as a form of advertisement.

Well friends, I won't be able to post on New Year's or New Year's Eve so I'll just say it now. Have the merriest of Christmas and the happiest of New Year's!

Don't worry about being quirkless friends. The sum of all fear and resentment spurs something to change. This year will be different. >;)

-DEKU

Izuku looked over at the wrapped box on his dresser. Despite all of the resentment and anger he held, Izuku loved his mother and still had the heart to do something for Christmas.
Still, he hesitated. Giving this gift would hurt and make it harder to leave in six days. He set it on his closet.

I'll do it when I leave... probably.

Opening his door, Izuku heard a soft *thunk*. He looked down to see a small wrapped box with a card. His eyes stung with unshed years as he sat in his bed and read the card.

Merry Christmas Izuku!
We haven't talked much but I wanted to say I love you and I am so proud of you. I know I haven't been the best mother but I promise to do better this year. I made you some Christmas cookies and left them on the counter. Merry Christmas dear!
-Love, Mom.

A couple of tears fell on the paper. Izuku put the card next to his computer. With shaky hands, he unwrapped the present. Inside was a purple and blue tye-dye hoodie that read in all white, "YOU'RE MY HERO".

Inko was unable to get off work today so I'm the silence of the apartment, Izuku wept loudly.

When Inko got home late, she certainly did not expect to see her son sleeping in the hallway just inside the door. In his lap was a small box wrapped in pink, her favorite color. It had the word "Mom" in black sharpie over the top.
A soft smile formed over the woman's lips as she scooped up the sleeping boy and tucked him into his bed.
On her own bed, Ink unwrapped the gift. She let out a small gasp when it revealed an old music box. It was her mother's music box that her mom gave Inko when she was only 5. The box had broken a while ago and no longer sang to Inko but she kept it all the same.
Inko turned the knob. She cried as the nostolgic tune filled her bedroom.

December 31st, New Year's Eve, 8:00pm.

Izuku folded the last of the notes he had been writing and put them in his hoodie pocket. He was wearing his newest hoodie from his mom, who he had yet to talk to, black shorts, and his trademark red hightops shoes. She got New Year's Eve and New Year's day off so she was still at home. Currently, she was in her room working on paperwork.

Izuku quietly crept through the apartment to where she always left her purse, on the counter. He quelled the guilt he felt as he pulled out fifty dollars from her wallet. He placed the card on her purse.

In his room, he quickly packed everything just as practiced, this time with the Christmas card from his mom in the backpack as well. Izuku slung the backpack over his shoulders and grabbed his guitar case. He put in his earbuds and turned on his iPod for music. He was about to climb out the window when he looked back at his room.

"Goodbye..."

As he climbed onto the pipe leading down the complex and slid down to the ground, the sheet covering his hero shelf slowly fell off.

Izuku ran as fast as he could. He took multiple turns before arriving before the Bakugous house. He set his items behind the wall so they'd be hidden from the resident's eyes and walked up to the front door.

*KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK*

Mitsuki Bakugou, Kacchan's mom, answered.
"Izuku? I haven't seen you here in forever! How have you been?"
"I've bee well," he lied. "Is Kacchan home?"

She nodded. "Yes. Come in, come in!" Izuku shook his head. "Thank you but I can't right now. Can you give this to him?" Izuku handed over the card.
Mitsuki took it.
"Well alright but you stop by some time, you hear?"
Izuku gave her the best smile he could. "I will. Have a Happy New Year!"

When the door shut, Izuku picked up his belongings and ran. He ran to his middle school. He climbed into the window and left a note on his desk before once again making his escape.

At 9:00pm on New Year's Eve, Izuku Midoriya boarded a subway heading three hours away from the city of Musutafu, Japan.

A black-haired girl with pink dyed tips sighed loudly. She wanted to cry and laugh all at the same time. She was excited but also so very sad. The girl couldn't make it home for the holidays so she was stuck at the college.
She stood in front of the closed mailroom. The girl slipped one card through the mail shoot that she hoped would make it to her parents.
She sent one last text to them before she turned and chucked the phone at the wall. The girl didn't care if others heard the sound.
She picked up her satchel that held a red dress, two pairs of blue jeans, two blouses, undergarments, and her toiletries. It also had a picture of herself with her family and herself with her roommate.
The girl left a note for her college roommate before she left the dorms.


At 7:30pm, a black haired girl boarded the subway for a 3 and a half hour ride.

A graying man closed and locked his apartment with nothing but a duffle bag carrying a couple of pairs of black slacks, some nice shoes, a few collared t-shirts, and his toiletries. He took one last look at the door before leaving and not turning back.

At 10:00pm, the man boarded an hour long subway ride.

A ginger in only his first year of middle school stole a couple leftover Christmas cookies and stashed them in his yellow hoodie pocket. He had given his parents and extra long hug before bed, telling them he'd see them next year!
Hopefully.
The ginger placed his yellow headphones on over his ears and turned on some music. He pulled his backpack over his shoulders. It held a white hoodie, a yellow and a white t-shirt, black shorts and black jeans, his toiletries, and a picture of his family and dog. The boy also grabbed his trumpet case. "Thanks for everything mom, dad, Johnny, and Varla."

At 9:00 pm, a yellow bearing ginger boarded the subway for a two-hour trip.
