Izuku ran down the stairs two at a time. He reached the bottom and shoved through the door and into the common room. He eyed the kitchen and made a beeline towards the fridge. It was around 4 pm and he was hungry after studying all afternoon.
Izuku stopped in his tracks when he saw something large and out of place in his vision. He slowly turned his head to the side and his jaw dropped as he saw Kaminari staring at a seven foot tall decorated Christmas tree. It was sat in the middle of the seating area.
It was JULY.
“Kaminari… May I ask why there’s a Christmas tree in our common room? In uh… July?” Izuku wandered towards the tree and looked towards the top where an All Might plushie took the place of an angel or star.
“Ah! Midoriya. Isn’t it great?” Kaminari grinned at him and placed his hands on his hips. He looked up proudly at the tree and Izuku snorted.
“But it’s not Christmas time Kaminari.” Izuku gasped holding back giggles.
“I know, I just wanted to put up the Christmas tree” The blonde shrugged and Izuku couldn’t hold back his laughs anymore. He doubled over holding his stomach cackling. Kaminari sputtered, seeming shocked at Izuku's sudden episode.
Izuku gasped and clutched his stomach harder, he was laughing so hard his ribs hurt. He collapsed onto the couch behind him and giggled while coming down from the worst of the laughing.
He let out breaths of relief as he was able to hold back the laughs finally. Kaminari stared at him in shock. Izuku put a hand on his forehead.
“Sorry Kaminari, hah, that just came out of nowhere” Izuku snickered, waving his hands around apologetically.
Kaminari just giggled at him.
Izukus phone buzzed in his pocket and he pulled it out. Clicking the power button to turn it on he saw a call coming in from… his dad? His eyes widened in shock. His dad had moved to America when he was tiny and hadn’t contacted him since he was ten.
“That was out of nowhere too, uhh, I’ll be outside the door Kaminari.” Izuku stared at his phone and stood, walking to the door to leave the heights alliance. The blonde nodded.
Izuku pressed the accept button and held the phone up to his ear. “Hello?”
“Ah Izuku, It’s your dad, Simon Cowell.” The deep voice over the phone said in English.
Izuku switched to English. “Yeah hey, did you need something?” Izuku questioned.
“Yes, come to the U.A gates. I’ve got something to show you.”
“What?” Izuku's jaw dropped, his dad was here? How did he even get from America to Japan and why was he at U.A.? He hasn’t seen his dad in years and he was here! Izuku started running towards the gates. “Okay I’m on my way,” the tone beeped as his dad hung up the call.
Izuku slowed to a jog and went towards the gates. He soon came upon them and saw his dad standing just outside them. He waved frantically.
Izuku slowed down to a walk and walked outside the gates to stand with his dad. “Hey dad!” Izuku smiled widely, he was finally with his dad!
“Hello Izuku.” His eyes narrowed and his hand raised. Izuku looked at the arm that was raising with confusion.
Simon Cowell then wound back his arm in a fist and punched Izuku straight in the face. Izuku let out an oof and fell onto his butt. The man jumped on top of him and started punching the shit out of his son.
Izuku blacked out somewhere around the sixth punch.

Izuku was floating, he could feel nothing but everything all at once. He heard a beeping and it wouldn’t stop. It just kept going and it was bothering Izuku, who was trying to peacefully float. He gave up trying to float in peace and brought himself back to his body.
Groaning, Izuku opened his eyes, seeing bright white. He winced and narrowed them. Shit, now he could feel pain everywhere. Specifically his face and nose.
“Pro…child?” He heard someone’s voice come from somewhere beside him.
All of Izuku's memories of the past day came back, the call from his dad, being pounced on, and a Christmas tree. Maybe it was Christmas?
“Merry Christmas?” Izuku rasped, turning his head towards the voice with his eyes closed. He heard a deep chuckle and opened his eyes. The person had black hair, and a scarf- oh it was Aizawa-Sensei.
“It’s not Christmas, kid, how do you feel?” Aizawa stood up from a chair he was sitting in and Izuku looked up to his face.
“Like Kacchan used his ap-shots on my face,” Izuku groaned, head lolling around on the hospital bed pillow. The pillow was so soft.
Assuming he was in a hospital Izuku leaned into the pillow, squishing it around his head. How had he never realized how comfortable hospital beds were. It was more comfortable than his own bed. He sighed and closed his eyes again.
He was totally in love with this bed, he should just sleep here forever. Izuku mumbled something then curled up under the blankets and fell back asleep.

Shouta had found Izuku laying unconscious and beaten to hell outside the gates when Kaminari had reported he had been out for three hours taking a phone call. Shouta had searched far and wide over campus for the problem child and hadn’t even been surprised when he found him knocked out.
He was sitting in the hospital when the kid had woken up, his words slurring. Shouta snorted. Midoriya was definitely high on the painkillers.
After all he had just murmured something about marrying the hospital bed before falling back asleep.
