|| Pairing: hawks x gn!reader / keigo takami x gn!reader || Highschool AU!
warnings: keigo being a pain in the ass, tooth numbing fluff fr. Also, dabi's in ua.. cause i like that idea
|| word count: 1.1k
|| You and Keigo have known eachother since ya'll were children, due to being in the commissions hero program. As children you guys were more friendly to eachother, but still super shy. As you grew up, you two were more introduced to eachother. But.. It wasn't exactly a welcome team up. Keigo was confident and snarky when you were quiet and serious. It got worse when the commission enrolled you both in UA.
|| You two quickly fought for being number one in class, whether it be training or academics, you made sure to try and one up eachother. It did not help that Keigo was popular though.. His blonde hair, good guy, charmer aesthetic? Everyone ate that up, girls and guys alike. And he was open to the teachers too! A teachers pet, if one may say.
|| Keigo, despite having all these friends, he always sat with you at lunch and talked with you. Despite having a rivalship, he always made time for you. For training, he always paired with you, and for projects he'd ask to be partners, and the only other person he'd pair up with was Touya. Honestly you, Keigo and Touya were the "Top 3" in your time. With Keigo's speed, Touya's strength, and your stealth, everytime there was training with three people, you three would come out on top.
|| I DIGRESS! Back to Keigo and you! It's giving Glinda and Elphaba, especially with the song "What is this feeling?" the rest of the class deifinitely respects you! But... not exactly.. likes you, at least as much as Keigo. When people realize you share a dorm back at the commission! YEESH! Rumors spread like wildfire! People thought you and Keigo were dating! Or, y'know beat eachother up at home. One or the other. Keigo didn't mind, it was entertaining to him, but you on the other hand hated every second of it.
|| You pushed yourself over the edge, if you couldn't be liked by your classmates, might as well be the best of them. Keigo, of course noticed until he came back to your shared dorm and you were passed out at the coffee table, papers and textbooks all around you, and you were in your work out clothes. So using his detective skills, he realized you had worked out before studying, and looking over to the small kitchen, there wasn't any food. You hadn't eaten, drank water or taken a break at all.
|| He never told you he saw this, but his tune had changed, he'd been more clingy towards you.. It was.. Weird. He'd stayed right by your side, at school and at home. He kinda ignored everyone else, your classmates at least in favor of talking to you, well at least he didn't ignore Touya at the least.
|| Keigo also INSISTED you keep one feather of his at all times, it was weird but to get him off your back, especially if he was out late training. If his feather noticed you studying to late or working to much, it'd fly around you push you to take a break. Not stopping until you agreed and ate or took a nap. It was really sweet.. NO NO! keigo's weird! There's no way.
|| Yeah, after years of being rivals, just a few months in UA made you change your tune. With him being clingy and the forced proximity, you had gotten a crush on the guy you once were rivals with. Well, you're still rivals but you're... Nicer to eachother?
|| For example, when training and sparring, instead of being serious and throwing insults, you'd be laughing and well- still throwing insults but it'd be more flirty or jokey. He definitely noticed and welcomed it with open arms. He'd pamper you and cuddle you, BUT IT WAS JUST FRIENDS!! as just friends.. And it KILLED YOU. Especially knowing he'd probably find some partner in UA, and they'd be over everyday... Oh gods, it'd be actual hell.
|| But one day, when opening up your locker back at UA, you found a note,, A love note! A LOVE NOTE! Oh gods.
" I don't know how to say this without being awkward, actually you're the only one I feel scared around. But I don't wanna be a coward, so meet me at the training grounds at 5 pm, today.
-K. <3"
|| You freaked out, but there were so many people with a name that started with K in your class! So who could it be? You rambled to Touya during english class about this, it was the only class you didn't have Keigo in, thankfully, so you could talk as much about this as you wanted. He just rolled his eyes, "You know it's probably Takami, right?" Your face went all red as you grumbled and tried focusing on your english assignment.
|| And soon enough, you went to the training grounds and stood there, waiting.. Oh god it was probably a prank. You frequently checked the time, it's already been 5 minutes. This was a mistake.
You stood at the training grounds as you waited for this mysterious "K" person. 10 minutes had already passed.
"This was a mistake," You muttered under your breath as you turned around and started walking away, after a few steps you heard familiar wing flaps. "W-WAIT!" It was Keigo! He... Looked rough. He was flying towards your direction, small scratches at his face and his hair was a mess. "Lady Nagant told me to come over and train for a little bit! I thought it'd only take an hour! But we got carried away and- and.. Are you crying?"
You stood there, eyes puffy and cheeks pink.
"YOU- you-" You wiped your eyes quickly. "You're the one who almost stood me up!!"
"I'm so sorry!"
".. So, what's this about, birdy?"
His wings fluttered lightly at the nickname and his cheeks dusted a light pink. This always happened when you called him "birdy."
"I-" He took a step forward and took a hold of both your hands into his. He took a deep breath as he stared down at your hands as he spoke.
"You.. Were always really cool to me. Honestly, you make me wanna be a better person? Be a good future hero. You make me wanna work harder, and- and training and studying with you made me realize.. That you're.. Uh-" He looked up at you, nervousness in his eyes. "Your opinion is the only one I really care about.. And I really care about you, and you-"
You placed both your hands on his cheeks, a hard look on your face.
"Shut up and kiss me"
He complied, leaning in and kissed you.
Smiles, this was really fun to make. I've always liked this idea :3
Y/N: (Clicks pen)
Shinsou: (Clicks pen in response)
Bakugou: Stop that!
Shinsou: Stop what?
Bakugou: You're talking about me in Morse code. Well you know what? The joke's on you because I know Morse code. Ha!
Y/N: ...Yes, that's what we're doing. In our very limited free time, I interrupted our usual training regime and taught Shinsou a very outmoded and very unnecessary form of communication just so we could talk about you in front of you.
[Later]
Shinsou to Aizawa: That’s exactly what we did
also here’s some keigo (ft. my mha persona heheh) art as an apology for the lack of writing :) been having a rough time + major writers block since summer </3

i had a vision
pairs: teen!hawks/keigo takami x reader
warnings: none!
word count: 1.9k
stuff to keep in mind: red text = keigo's thoughts, also this is like my first fic that im writing cause i had an idea :D! also this is prolly ooc ToT
Keigo Takami, age 15, has never gone to a party and barely has any friends out of the commission. Only has one friend, and that's just out of sheer, dumb luck, Rumi Usagiyama.
And today... She's taking him out to a friends party!.... great.
Despite all of Keigo's faux confidence, he was a real nervous for this. He knows how to use his quirk to save people! At least in theory, he hasn't exactly saved anyone yet.. BUT I DIGRESS! This will be easy! Just some random teens.. He doesn't know... At a loud party...
Oh God, what am I doing??
"Okay, birdy brain," Rumi stretched her arms as the two stood in front of the house. "We'll stay as long as you want, unless it's past 2 am, don't wantcha grumpy for your trainin!"
As she said those words she pinched his cheeks, recieving a groan and his wings swatting at her as she laughed.
"You sure this is a good idea?"
"Yeah of course, I mean you're cooped up in training rooms or your dorm"
"... It's not that bad."
"It's pretty bad, birdbrain"
Rumi rolled her eyes as she lead them both into the house. The music wasn't as blaringly loud as Keigo thought it would be! Nor was there too many people.
Man, maybe this will be better than i thought, Rumi was just being drama- PERSON!
Keigo's eyes narrowed as someone, well, he'd assume was one of Rumi's friends came up to her, or practically running to them.
"RUMIIII!"
"Y/NNNNNN!!!"
Keigo stood there motionless as they watched the two ramble on to eachother about.. Well he didn't really know. It took a good 2 minutes before the other noticed Keigo. Once registering his presence they made a small "o" with their mouth as they rubbed the back of their neck, backing away from Rumi and him. Oh my god, how do I talk to this person???
"Uh, hi, I'm y/n!"
Oh my god thank you for talking first.
"I'm Haw-" Rumi elbowed him before he could finish. SHIT! Keigo's been so used to being called Hawks. "Haaaaaawww.... Kato."
... Rumi looked at him with a raised eyebrow. Hakato? Really? Cute name, but it's not yours, Keigo. "Hakato?"
They gave a small smile as they tapped their chin. "It's nice to meet you then, Hakato!"
"Yeah, nice to meet you too, Y/N"
Get a grip Keigo, you're more awkward than two people who don't speak the same language.
Keigo was about to say something before-
"Y/NNNNNN!!! C'MONNNN!!!"
They let out an exasperated sigh, physically deflating as they heard someone call them.
"Sorry about that! Those people can wait, uh- how do you kno-"
"Y/N GET YOUR ASS OVER HERE!!!"
They let out a small groan as they ran a hand through their hair, giving a weak smile. "Sorry, I guess I gotta head over there, bye Rumi! Bye Hakato!"
Y/N gave a sheepish smile as they ran over to the other room. They weren't in trouble, it was just their friends calling for them! Probably cause they broke something, or needed to find something.. Or all of the above.
Once they were out of hearing distance Rumi smacked Keigo's arm, a confused look on her face.
"Hakato??? Really?? Why didn't you just say," She put her arms up, waving them at the side of her hips, mocking him. "Hey, I'm Keigo Takami! I don't know how to talk to people, meehh!!"
"I don't!" He pushed her face away with the palm of his hand, pouting slightly "I don't sound like that... And plus! It was gonna sound weird if I said Haw-Keigo!" Rumi rolled her eyes, a smile tugging at the corner of her lips as she lazily put her arm around his shoulders, leading him to the room y/n went through.
"Welp! Looks like you're going by Hakato now!"
The two went into the room, the lights were all off with a few led lights glowing. It was a nice atmosphere, it wasn't too loud, but it could definitely become a bit much after a few hours. Thank goodness Keigo and Rumi were going to leave soon...
.
.
.
It was 1 am. This party started at 10 pm, and more people came, it got LOUD. Keigo just wanted to go back to the dorm rooms he stayed at, if he didn't get to sleep soon he'd be sloppy during the day. Being sloppy meant bad training, bad training meant bad hero, bad hero meant bad life.
Oh god I need to get home.
Keigo looked around the house one more time, accidentally finding more than two couples making out.
Gross, where the hell is Rumi.
He kept looking for a good 10 more minutes then just gave up. He didn't wanna try sending out his feathers to look for her, that would just end up with them getting trampled or something.
.. These people are Rumi's friends.. Yeah they are, plus there's no alcohol here so she'll be fine. Plus she can beat up literally anyone.
Keigo justified his reasons as he walked out of the house, stopping at the doorstep and texted Rumi.
"im leaving the party, im tired as shit"
sent!
...
What the?
Keigo looked around, he heard some rustling. Maybe he shouldn't look, maybe it's just another couple making out, but something just made him wanna at least know what made that noise. What can he say? It was the hero in him.
He turned the corner, to the sides of the house. Y/N! y/n?
They were curled up in a ball covering their ears and on their phone, seemingly rushing to text something.
snap!
Y/n turned their face towards the sound. It was Keigo snapping on a branch.
Great, good going government stealth training- Oh shit are they crying?
Y/n quickly rubbed their eyes and stood up, giving a weak smile as they stepped closer to Keigo. Their cheeks stained with a few tears and their face a little red.
"You okay?"
"Uh, yeah! I'm okay, sorry bout this-"
"No! No it's all good! You uh, wanna talk about it?"
"Oh, no it's okay! It's stupid"
"I don't mind."
The two stood there awkwardly for some moments as y/n played with the ends of their sleeves. God kill them now, this was not a good first impression, er, second.
"Just got loud is all," They gave a small shrug as they walked past him to the front of the house. They rubbed their eyes and nose with their sleeve as they sat down at the stairs to the porch. "I'm not good with people."
"O-Oh, yeah no, I get that," Keigo followed them and sat beside them, letting out an awkward sigh as he shuffled around getting comfotable. Damn these giant ass wings. "I'm bad with people too."
The two sat in.. Less than comfortable silence, it wasn't too bad. At least there was music playing in the back from the house. It was blaring music, but better than like, some classical or some shit.
"Sorry, this is a really weird impression, I promise I'm not that much of a crybaby!" Y/n chuckled as they rubbed the back of their neck, keeping their eyes away from Keigo's.
He shook his head swiftly.
"No! This- isn't the worst impression I've had with a few people," he thought back at the events of the party. ".. So many people making out.."
"Oh my god, right?? Like- like go home at that point!"
"At least some people are trying to hide it though, some people are just makin out on the couch!"
"My heart goes out to the houses owner"
"Oh god I didn't even think of that!"
They both burst into small giggles, y/n's eyes fully dried from tears and the awkward tension lifting, at least 2/3rds of it.
"Hakato?"
It took a second for Keigo to register that they were talking to him.. He'll have to explain the name thing later..
"Yeah?"
"Uhh," Y/n fiddled with their sleeves, looking out to the road. "How're you getting home?" "Wings."
"Wings?
Keigo nodded as he pointed to his wings, y/n making the same "o" then before.
That's kinda cute
Keigo gave a small grin, an awkward looking one but it made y/n giggle.
"I'm waiting for my brother to pick me up, if you want I can ask if he can drop you of-"
"that's okay!"
How does one.. Even explain that he doesn't live with his parents, nor really any guardians. But a dorm with a few other kids for some private hero-training shit?
Y/n nodded at that, a little surprised at how quick he responded but didn't question it.
"How uh, do you know Rumi? I don't see you around school"
KEIGO THINK.
"I'm uh- homeschooled"
It wasn't a complete lie! He was schooled with the commission... At that was practically his home.. So.. IT MAKES SENSE!!
Y/n nodded. Wow these two nod a lot. Makes sense, they're awkward teenagers.
"Yeah makes sense, I-I think I've heard Rumi talk about you once? Big red wings and all!"
They let out a small chuckle, finally glancing over Keigo, his wings shuffling a bit behind him.
Did their eyes always look this nice?
"Haha! Y-Yeah that was probably me, good ol'" He stumbled through his words a moment "Good ol' Hakato!"
Y/n laughed again as they heard a ding from their phone and glanced up to the street. A nice black, convertable with someone who looked like y/n.. Ohhhh, their brother.
They quickly got up and dusted themself off before putting their hands in their pockets, giving a small shrug.
"I gotta go- my brothers-" "Oh yeah no, all good!"
"You sure you don't want a ride?" "Nah nah, thanks though!"
Y/n gave a small wave as they walked towards the car, leaving Keigo to watch them get into the car and wave at him through the passenger seat. "Bye Hakato!"
They yelled as the car started and Keigo got up. He flapped his wings and got off the ground, giving one more wave towards them before he started flying towards the dorms.
He had fun! More than expected. It was tiring, and a lot of new people, but some of them were nice! Majority were nice, and plus it was good for Keigo to make new friends his age! Everyone at the HPSC was all older than him.
Soon enough, Keigo snuck back into his room, shutting the window behind him. SUCCESS! He successfully snuck out, went to a party, made new friends! Oh hey, and Rumi texted him back! "rude! coulda given you a ride back birdbrain"
"haha, its fine, i like flying"
"such a damn bird..."
"guilty!"
He put down his phone as he changed into his pj's, thinking back to the night... Y/n. Could be a good friend of his! Yeah he could...
I FORGOT TO ASK FOR THEIR NUMBER.
He dove into bed and quickly texted Rumi.
"RUMI GIVE ME Y/N'S NUMBER PLZ"
"lol someones down bad"
"they seem cool, and wud be a good friend"
"excuses
you gotta work for it"
"anything"
"ill think about it and text you tomorrow morning"
"it's 2 am, its already tomorrow morning"
"touche, ill give the terms and conditions when i wake up LOL"
"RUMI PLZ."
.. left on read.
Keigo sighed and put his phone down as he snuggled into his bed, maybe he can text y/n tomorrow. Yeah, tomorrow.
SMILES this was prolly badly written and super ooc, but im eepy and wanted to get this idea out. TEEHEE!
grian immediately killed the other bamboozlers once scar died I'm crying 😭

Its so me I love spooky Hawks <3
You’re an underground pro hero and you get invited to a heroes event. There are all sorts of paparazzi and media there snapping pictures, recording, and interviewing the heroes.
After the event, you’re watching back an interview you did and you notice Hawks walking by in the background and he stops and looks at you like you’re the hottest thing he’s ever seen in his life.
In one of his interviews, you walk by and he pauses to pass you a glance and he turns back to the camera like “Who is that? 😳🥵”
You and Hawks are both pro heroes and you approach him like:
You: “Did you hear that people have been shipping us?”
Hawks: “Really? That’s so weird.”
Hawks a week earlier, posting on a fake account: “HAS ANYONE EVER CONSIDERED HAWKS X Y/N?!”
WINNERS 👑🎉🌟
i need more...........
"Just if things had played out a little... differently."
It’s terrifying, being able to look at a distorted reflection of yourself. It’s terrifying being able to interact with him, to talk to him, and here the mirror’s image of your voice reflected back at you.
But it’s not as weighed down as yours is.
Your facade would never be as strong as his. You can see the cracks in yours, but his seems impenetrable.
Your eyes are yellow. His are golden.
Your hair is feathery. His is finer, but thicker.
Your gaze has guilt and grief in it.
His has a cold, cold, spine-shivering apathy.
Welcome to my AU
It's called Distorted Reflections
Feel free to ask about it!
As christmas is approaching and I constantly see videos of people doing the angel tree shopping for kids in needs of toys and everything I feel like hawks would loove to participate in it bc you know of his past and I'd like to request hawks and reader going shopping and gifting the kids🥰😊 It would be adorable
I LOVEEE THESE VIDEOS omg they r my FAV !!
also, happy holidays everyone! i hope whatever you may celebrate is wonderful 💙
but yes i completely agree that he would go way overboard
in the hustle and bustle of the festively-decorated mall, you made your way inside with keigo, brushing the snow off your jacket as you took your phone out, pulling up the lists of your family members.
“i swear, my niece thinks i’m the one with the amex black card.. she asked me for those stupid seven hundred dollar headphones. headphones, of all things! i might as well buy her front row concert tickets!” you huff
keigo laughs, shaking the snow out of his wings.
“baby, i told you that i want to help buy your family’s gifts. if those, albeit expensive, headphones are what she wants, i’ll buy them.”
“you’re too sweet for your own good.” you shake your head. after a momentary disruption to take pictures with fans, you two continue on, stopping to look at a large christmas tree.
“oh, they have the angel tree up!” you hum, looking at the tags stuck onto the tree.
“angel tree?” keigo asked, leaning over your shoulder.
“yep! basically, a local charity gets christmas lists from kids whose families aren’t able to afford much, and then people can pick them off the list and fill it for them. i’ve been doing it the past few years. sweet, isn’t it?” you explain, reading through the different cards.
keigo walks around the tree, looking at all the white tags stuck onto the tree.
as the two of you browsed, a nearby woman in a red blouse approached. short black hair and kind blue eyes, she appeared to be in her early fifties.
“hawks! what an honor it is to have you looking at our angel tree!” she grinned.
“oh, yea, my girlfriend was just showing it to me,” e smiled warmly. “i think it’s a great thing that you guys do this.”
“oh, it’s our pleasure. everyone deserves to have a happy christmas, right?” she clasps her hands together. “actually… could i ask you something?”
keigo nodded, still looking through the tags.
“well, normally we just hand them out to the families ourselves when they come to pick them up, but… the kids would love if the number two hero gave them their gifts.” she said, hope dripping in her tone.
“oh.. like, you’d want.. me to hand them out to them?”
“i think that’s exactly what she said, honey” you say, biting back your smile.
“yes, i understand if you’re too busy, but it would only be a few hours next saturday.. we give them to them early so the kids can enjoy having presents under the tree.”
“next saturday..” keigo tapped his chin. “i’m sure i can swing it.”
“oh, thank you hawks!” the woman grinned, immediately gratefully shaking his hand. “thank you, thank you! the kids will be so happy!”
“i’ll do my best.” he nods.
the woman steps away. “well, i’ll leave you two to your shopping. just be here, say.. eleven a.m.?”
“eleven o’clock next saturday, you got it.”
keigo turned back to you, who had a wide smile and even wider, glossy eyes.
“that is so sweet!” you squeak out.
“tell me you’re not about to cry..” he groaned with a chuckle.
“i can’t help it! you’re just gonna make the kids so happyy-yyy-yyy!” you whine, tears pouring down your cheeks.
“c’mere, you crybaby.” he smiled, pulling you against his chest. “please don’t stain my shirt. we both know how hard it is to get all your eye makeup out.” he stroked your hair.
you pull away, carefully dabbing your eyes with your fingers, fanning yourself.
“i’m okay, i’m okay,” you sigh. “now, it’s time to do what i’m best at. shopping.” you grin deviously.
you two plucked four tags off the tree. a boy and a girl for each of you. you two went to the toy store first, of course. luckily this mall had one of the best toy stores in the city, with towering lego buildings and life-sized stuffed animals.
you glance down at your tag, frowning.
“okay, my girl likes dress up and dolls, science books, plushies, and cartoons… annnnd my boy likes anime, pokemon, fairytale books, and playing outside,” you hum. “they need basics too, like winter clothes and hygiene stuff, but we’ll get that stuff later. what about you?”
keigo looks at his list. “my boy likes monster trucks, crafts, dogs, and board games.. but my girls list just says.. not needed.” he frowned, clutching the paper a little tighter.
“well.. hey, maybe their family is just nervous about asking for too much?” you bite back your lip, gently brushing his arm in a comforting manner. you knew his past, so you imagined how important this was.
“well, they’re gonna get a big surprise when she gets a whole lotta presents.” he grins brightly.
you tilt your head, smiling softly. “oh, i’m sure. now cmon, let’s grab some carts. this store is gonna get cleaned out.”
each of you grabbing a cart, you stroll down the various aisles, filling it to the brim with various gifts for your angel tree kids. various dress up clothes, books of all genres and lengths (including some for as they grew up), barbie dolls, monster high dolls, bratz dolls, littlest pet shop, science kits, stuffed animals of various sizes and species, toys from popular cartoons and anime’s were airing, pokemon cards and stuffed animals, outdoor toys for all seasons, monster trucks (with batteries, of course), various craft kits and supplies, a little robot dog, and all kinds of board games. next was.. the more difficult task.
“this one’s gonna be difficult,” you sigh. “it’s hard to guess what a kids into when you don’t know anything about them…” you bite your thumb. “i mean, i had different interests depending on what day it was as a kid. monday i obsessed with my sailor moon dolls and wednesday i was bill nye making what could be equated to mustard gas in my kitchen. what about you?” as you look at him, keigo turns his head slowly, tight lipped, blinking slowly. “oh, right.. sorry.. forgot for a second. sorry honey.” you suck in air through your teeth.
“hey, i’ve got an idea though! why don’t you just.. imagine yourself as little you, and put whatever you like in the cart! anything you would have wanted as a kid, just throw it in, you know? people are always talking about that inner child stuff.”
keigo thinks for a moment.
“that’s not a bad idea. you should help, though. when i was a kid, all i wanted was loving parents,” he looked at you, who was holding in a laugh. “you’re going to hell, you know that?” he glared at you.
“i’m sorry,” you mutter out. “it’s not.. that you didn’t have parents, it’s just the way you said it…but anyways! let’s go spoil our last angel kid - we’ll, before the essentials.” you quickly change the subject.
you watch keigo as you walk down the aisles - the same ones you two raided while shopping for your other angel tree children - intently. he seemed far too analytical, as per usual.
“honey,” you hum. “remember, think like a carefree kid. i know.. that you probably had to think about all of this, but just imagine you can pick out anything you’d want, alright?”
keigo nodded. “right.. anything i’d want..”
he picked up a medium sized dollhouse.
“i used to make little figures with sticks and tissue paper, but this one comes with actual dolls. they would’ve liked a house, i think,” he puts it in the bottom of his cart. in the next aisle, he picked up various lego sets. “c’mon, every kid should have a lego set.” he says, tossing it in the cart.
as you two browse the aisles, his analytical side begins to fade away (though he still explains his reasoning for everything) as his eyes begin to light up. the size of his cart is doubled by the time you’re done. you two are walking to the front, tall carts threatening to spill when you glance at him.
“shit, i forgot to grab something. can you take this to the front for me? i’ll meet you up there.”
“of course,” he uses a few of his feathers to steady the toys in both of your carts, pushing yours. “just be quick, alright?”
as soon as he disappears, you slip into an aisle that holds various hero merchandise, picking up one of his plushies. you hold it behind your back, going to a different register while he’s distracted with paying for all of the presents and using his feathers to hold the dozens of bags. after paying, you slip the doll into your purse, meeting back with him like nothing happened.
the rest of your shopping trip was filled with getting the essentials for the kids on the list. while shopping for their clothes, you couldn’t stop gushing to keigo about how small all the clothes were, and how adorable the kids would look in all of them. you even managed to get the shopping for your family done as well.
by the time you two left, you could barely fit all of the bags in his car, including the trunk and the back seat, covering all the windows. in fact, this is how most of the drive went:
“baby can i merge?”
“i don’t know, what am i supposed to do?”
“stick your head out the window.”
“my hair’ll get ruined!”
“it’s gonna get ruined if i crash, too.”
-
“oh my god are we gonna get pulled over?”
“maybe, but it’ll be on their hands when they ruin christmas.”
“you’re going like, 40 over! slow down or christmas really will be ruined!”
-
luckily, you two made it home alive and ticket-less. thank god for keigo’s feathers, otherwise getting up the elevator with all of the bags would have been hell on earth.
as soon as you got inside, you changed into your coziest pajamas, dimming the lights as you turned on one of your favorite christmas movies, sprawling various boxes, bags, and bows across the floor with your un-opened wrapping paper. keigo, of course, made two cups of hot chocolate with extra whip cream for both of you.
three hours. two movies, six rolls of wrapping paper, and five cups of hot chocolate between the two of you later, every present was wrapped, bowed, taped, boxed, bagged, and tagged.
keigo yawned, stretching.
“finally done.. i’m gonna go get ready for bed..” he said, his eyes already half closed as he kissed your head, taking your two mugs to the sink.
“okay! i’ll be there in a few minutes!” you reply, reaching into your purse to take out the plushie that resembled him. you smiled, dropping it into a small box as you quickly wrapped it, setting it with the rest of her gifts.
next saturday, as promised, you and keigo showed up to the mall, dozens upon dozens of gifts in tow. keigo found a santa outfit but decided to skip the beard, which you heartily appreciated. you, in turn, dressed as mrs. clause, with a fluffy red skirt and calf high black boots.
as expected, keigo’s presence was met with pure excitement, each child that came up with their parents to get their presents nearly exploding with joy.
just as all of them were passed out, a small girl, who looked to be about five, approached as her mother stood a few feet back. she was in a light blue blue winter jacket a little too big for her with baggy green cargo pants. she had short curly lilac hair with wide orange eyes.
“hi there,” keigo knelt down to her. “are you yui?”
the girl nodded slowly, holding her hands behind her back.
“well, looks like i’ve got your presents right here,” keigo stepped aside, revealing the last pile of presents. her mother gasped as yui’s eyes glowed - literally. her eyes lit up like flashlights.
“for me?!” she asked excitedly.
“all for you, but don’t open ‘til christmas, alright?” keigo winked, tapping her nose.
“actually, i have something she can open now,” you spoke up, kneeling down beside keigo as you handed her the small box you kept hidden.
“you do now?” keigo asked, equally surprised as yui as she held it in her small hands. she tore it open, smiling brightly as she pulled the small plushie of keigo out.
“i love him! thank you!” she held him against her cheek, hugging him tightly.
you didn’t notice, as you were watching yui hold her new favorite plushie, but the look keigo gave you was of pure adoration - it was a look that people only dream of. it was a look knowing that you were the person he’d spend the rest of his life with.
keigo helped them pile the gifts into their car, and you two stood outside the mall, the cool wind whipping against any exposed skin.
“i can’t believe you got that by me without noticing.” he grinned at you as they drove away.
“well, you don’t need government training to be sneaky.” you tease him, shivering immediately after.
“c’mon, mrs. clause,” he wraps his arm around your waist, pulling you closer. “let’s get you something warm, hm?”
