'Is New Year's supposed to be this alone?' Izuku thought to himself. He was standing at the edge of the party, completely alone, a fruit punch cup in his hand. He watched everybody else dance and talk. There really wasn't much else he wanted to do to be honest. He watched as Iida and Ochako danced, and remembered how she apparently went up to him asking for advice to get rid of her crush on Izuku. He watched as Mineta got thrown into the fountain, again. No surprise there really, if he kept trying to perv on girls. Everybody seemed to at least be having some form of fun.He saw the group of 1-B girls eyeing him earlier while whispering, where he just smiled and they just smiled back. He's seen it in movies before where the same scenario happens, but he just passed it off and it was some stupid trope that didn't mean anything for sake of romance. He was dressed in the same suit he wore during his performance at the Cultural Festival, the yellow glinting in the lights set up.
It was now 11:00, and everyone seemed to have a partner but him and, of course, Mineta. Hell, Monoma even got Pony somehow to dance with him. 'Yeah, definitely not supposed to be this alone...' He thought to himself again. 'Well, at least I have friends that I can spend it with... Not right now, but maybe later...?' Yeah, he was really alone. Suddenly he heard footsteps next to him, but didn't turn. He thought they were just coming to get another drink and just walk away.
"Ohhhhhhhhhhhh, Izuku?" A familiar voice spoke up. Izuku turned and then became a blushing mess. Setsuna was standing there in an extremely bright yellow dress with black patterns near the bottom of it, seemingly glowing. She wasn't wearing any makeup, but that didn't make her any less beautiful to Izuku. She was only about 3 inches shorter than Izuku, and was staring up at him, a blush of her own coming across her face, a grin also spreading across her face. Izuku stumbled a bit, and looked up behind her, and saw Kendo standing there with her hands on her hips, smiling. 'Oh, so that's what's this about.' He thought.
He'd known both of them pretty well since Joint Training had ended, and became extremely close quickly. They also had spent time alone during Christmas when Tokage had a fight with Monoma and had a break down. During that time, both Setsuna and Midoriya quickly caught feelings for each other, and Kendo noticed it. They had similar interests such as heroes and dinosaurs, and also had similar reasons for becoming heroes. Both thought extremely highly of one another, and tried hanging out the most they could, whether that'd be during lunch or after classes and training.
"O-Oh, h-hey T-Tokage!" He stammered. 'Pleasedon'tmakethingsweiredpleasedon'tmakethingsweird-" he began thinking to himself.
"Hey, broccoli boy," She teased. "Huh, don't have anybody to dance with, do you?"
"N-No..." He said.
"It's okay, I don't have anyone else either. Soo, wanna dance?" She asked. Immediately Izuku turned red again and froze in place. He saw Kendo cough and turn away out of the corner of his eye.
"U-uh, s-sure!" He replied. Setsuna only giggled and grabbed his hand. She led him to the edge of the dance floor and took his other hand. He figured that if his love was asking him to dance, Izuku might as well take it.
"Okay, so just follow my lead and nothing embarrassing will happen, got it?" Izuku only nodded nervously in response, and Setsuna giggled again. "God, you're so adorable."
What she didn't know, is that Izuku was actually incredible at dancing. He practiced it a little before Joint Training and quickly picked it up from there. The only person that knew was Bakugou who walked in on him practicing.
"Woah, you're really good at this!" Setsuna said.
"T-Thanks. I-I practiced i-it a little b-before Joint Training."
"A little? How fast do you pick things up?" She chuckled, Izuku laughed nervously in response. 'Wow, didn't think I'd be dancing with my love tonight...' Both of them thought. Izuku continued dancing, looking into her eyes as she stared back. He felt oddly calm like this, and so did Setsuna, just the two of them together. Then he caught a glimpse of her chest and froze slightly.
"Y'know you can ask to touch them, right?" Setsuna teased, another grin spreading across her face. Izuku shook his head and looked up.
"S-Sorry, p-please don't h-hit me or-"
"Why would I hit you?" Setsuna asked. Izuku stammered and looked away.
"Well, u-uh, just past experiences." Izuku then went on and explained how most of the bullies in his middle school were girls and would assault him every time he came near them, and how he has a hard time interacting with girls since then. After he finished, Setsuna just stared at him, wide-eyed.
"A-Are you oka-?" Without speaking Setsuna pulled him him into a hug mid-dance. Izuku stumbled a bit before regaining balance. "U-uh, w-wha-!?"
"Nobody should have to go through that. I'll help you regain confidence, starting with this!" Setsuna finished. She let go and held Izuku's hand and continued to dance, this time much closer to him. Izuku gulped and just followed her into the rhythm again. He looked over Setsuna's head and saw Kendo laughing her ass off next to Tetsutetsu who was trying to hold it together. Izuku grimaced and looked back down. Setsuna was staring back up at him, a much more calm smile on her face. He just smiled back and continued. It felt... nice. Hugging her actually released a bunch of pent up stress and nervousness he had, and it felt so warm and comforting. That smile she had was amazing, like it screamed confidence. She genuinely looked stunning, especially up this close, her dress continuing to glow.
"Y-You look i-incredible, T-Tokage." Izuku stammered. Setsuna blushed and smiled even wider.
"Thanks, you look incredible too. Our clothes even match." She replied. They did match as well, both wearing yellow. They danced for a little while longer before the next song ended. It was now 11:40. Both of them continued to dance.
"So, uhhhhh... Wanna be my New Year's Kiss?"
...What...
Izuku froze up and looked down, a blush starting to cover his face. Setsuna was also blushing, a hopeful look in her eyes.
"Y-Y-Yeah, s-sure!" Izuku stammered again and nodded as a big, goofy grin spread across his face. Setsuna snorted before covering her mouth in embarrassment. Izuku just laughed.
"S-Sorry about that. Bad habit." She said.
"It's okay, it's actually really cute." Izuku replied. Setsuna turned and stared at him wide-eyed, and then grinned while her blush came back. The words hit Izuku in the face as he realized what he just said.
"S-Sorry, I-I d-" Setsuna pressed her index finger against his lips.
"Shhhhhh, It's fine. T-Thank you, really Come on." She said as she led him away from the crowd, still holding his hand. "I don't want to seem desperate, so sorry if it seems like it." She said as she led him down a path up onto a hill. "It's just... Well... I've always wanted a New Year's Kiss. And, if I'm being honest... I like you. Like, a lot."
"No, it's okay. It's not desperate. I've- I've a-always wanted one too. A-A-And... I also like you a lot too." Izuku replied. Setsuna looked over and smirked.
"Are you being truthful?" She teased Izuku just nodded vigorously. 'He's so easy to tease, it's so cute...' She thought to herself
"Y-Yes, I am! I m-mean, your passion for dinosaurs is great! We have similar reasons for becoming heroes. You're confidence and personality is incredible. And lastly, you're very beautiful no matter what clothes you're wearing!" Izuku said. Setsuna looked over, wide-eyed, a blush beginning to creep up her face. Again, Izuku spoke before he thought. Or did he? He also became wide-eyed, and blushed as well, though not nearly as intense as Setsuna's.
"I-I..." Izuku stammered.
"No, no, I-It's fine..." Setsuna replied, her smile coming back onto her face. "To be honest, you're pretty great too. You're hero passion is really cute and just incredible. You're also really, and I mean REALLY handsome." She giggled at the end, Izuku doing so as well. 'Oh my god, I found him. I found the one.' She thought frantically to herself.
The two walked for a minute more before coming to the top of a hill, overlooking a highway, with the Musustafu skyline in the background. She turned around, and held onto both of Izuku's hands, where he gladly held them back.
"So, uhh, what time is it?" Izuku asked. Setsuna pulled out her phone.
"Just turned 11:58. Just on time!" She laughed, Izuku laughing as well. They continued to stand there, swaying back in forth in the wind, the sound of car horns and the night emanating around them. Green and yellow fireworks shot off in the background. Both of them turned and stared in awe at the beauty of it.
"Well, it's almost 11:59:40. So uhh, wanna get it started now?" Setsuna asked, grinning.
"I guess." Izuku shrugged and chuckled. Nervously he leaned down. For a moment Setsuna didn't move, before she pounced on Izuku's face and kissed him. For the time, both of them felt like they were in pure euphoria. It was incredible. A massive orange and white colored firework went of in the background, signifying the New Year. They held there for 10 more seconds before breaking apart for air. Breathing heavily, they looked back at each other, wide-eyed, not believing the fact that kiss was so good. Almost instantly, it felt as if they were connected to each other in some way that would never break. Like they found love in each other.
Without thinking Setsuna jumped onto Izuku, Izuku catching her and holding her there happily. Both of them proceeded to make out furiously, embracing each other in a hug that neither of them let go from. They broke apart again, only inches from each other's face.
"I love you..."
"I love you too."

It was now 12:25. Everybody was partying still, none of them seemingly getting tired. All Might was pacing back and forth, Bakugou sitting in a folding chair angrily. He'd shared his New Years Kiss with Camie and had danced with her, but she had to use the restroom, which was why he was mad in the first place. Ryuukyuu was also sitting next to him, watching everybody else with a smile. All Might was confused as to where Midoriya had went, so were Bakugou and Ryuukyuu. The last any of them had seen him, he was dancing with Setsuna, before being led down a path leading up to a hill. Both All Might and Ryuukyuu were proud of him, while Bakugou just looked indifferent in his usual angry demeanor.
"I'm guessing the shitty nerd finally found someone to tolerate him." Bakugou snarled. All Might just glanced over and went back to pacing, while Ryuukyuu just glared at him angrily. All Might walked away to the other side of the party, apparently mumbling something about going to find him. At this point, Camie had came back, and happily got comfortable under Bakugou's arm, to which Bakugou surprisingly didn't object too.
It was then Izuku came back, holding Setsuna's hand, both of them happily leaning onto each other. Ryuukyuu and Bakugou immediately took notice. One, for the fact Izuku wasn't freaking out. Two, the fact Setsuna was with someone from Class 1-A.
"How come you're aren't blushing like a fucking idiot you ner-" Before Bakugou could finish, Camie kissed him on his cheek, causing his face to go blank and a blush appear.
"Say 'Sorry, Izuku, it's good to see you and Setsuna'." Camie said softly.
"Sorry, Izuku, good to see you and Setsuna" Bakugou repeated in a monotone voice like he was being mind controlled. Camie and Ryuukyuu laughed before Bakugou snapped out of it. Instead of getting angry, he just smirked and hugged Camie. It was at this point All Might came back and stumbled when he saw Izuku.
"Well, speaking of that." Setsuna said as she turned towards Izuku.
"We shared our New Years kiss, and now we're a couple." Izuku said while beaming.
That was the closet both Ryuukyuu and All Might had to having a heart attack, ever.
