Christmas Eve Part 2

Merry Christmas Eve everyone 😉

Ochaco walked with the girls into the auditorium. It was really cold so they all brought coats, but what they didn't expect was for it to snow. They walked into the auditorium and music was blaring throughout the hall. People were chatting and without the girls there no one was really dancing. The teachers were there, along with Kasumi and Ms Joke, who accompanied Mr Aizawa. All Might had a suit that fit him for once, Midnight wore a very skimpy dress as expected and Mr Aizawa had his hair in a man bun at the back of his head. Ms Joke also looked rather unlike herself in a gorgeous dress without her signature hat. The other teachers were there too like Hound Dog, Present Mic, Vlad King, Cementos and even Principle Nezu, they all seemed to be enjoying themselves. The auditorium looked great too, the lanterns hung above and spelt Plus Ultra, lights lined the walls and above them streamers and a giant faux tree with decorations, lights and a giant star on the top. Ochaco looked around at the hall. Her eyes landed on Kirishima. He wore a black suit and a red tie, he looked really nice in one if she was honest, his hair hadn't changed one bit, it was still spikey, but then again most of the guys didn't do anything with their hair. She watched as he walked over to Bakugou. Like Kirishima he wore a black suit but skipped the tie, he wore a red shirt, the same colour as the necklace she wore. As if they could sense her staring they both turned to look in her direction and Bakugou's jaw dropped at the sight. She blushed and turned her head away. Suddenly a mop of green hair and two sparkling green eyes popped up in front of her. She let a shout escape from her mouth at the sudden appearance.

"Deku! You scared me!" She scolded and he laughed loudly. "It's not funny!" she pouted.
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to scare you," he laughed, "wanna dance with me," he pointed to the dance floor where a few students were dancing to an upbeat song, Mina and Toru were among them. Toru was a fun experiment, they managed to make her almost completely visible, and Ojiro couldn't keep his eyes off of her.
"Uh-" she started but Kasumi grabbed her shoulders suddenly.
"Sorry Deku-kun," she teased, "Ochaco and I have business to attend to first," she looked at Ochaco, "Remember?" She gave her a pointed glare and Ochaco's eyes widened. She'd completely forgotten about that.
"Oh right! I completely forgot, but maybe after I'm done, we can?" she suggested.
"Oh, sure," he said suddenly very off, she wasn't sure what was with him but he was acting weird a lot lately and she didn't understand why. Kasumi tugged her arm and dragged her away to a secluded part of the auditorium.
"So, do you remember them?" Kasumi asked
"I've been practising all week so yes," she smiled.
"Great, we've got to get ready, and I'll find you a companion for the second one," she nudged her. Ochaco nodded and Kasumi rushed her off to the spot where they would wait. They walked up the stairs, their heels making noise but the music was loud enough to drown it out. She walked to the middle of the floor and stood waiting for Kasumi to return.

It didn't take long before she came back, and the music went quiet. Kasumi gave her a wink and they stepped forward as quietly as they could. Kasumi's heels were thicker than Ochaco's but Ochaco's seemed to make more noise. Kasumi fixed her dress, it was a blue off the shoulder lace dress with lace sleeves that came to her elbows, it fit beautifully, and the skirt flared out and reached her mid-thighs. She wore a pair of navy blue heels. She took a deep breath and Ochaco checked if she looked okay as well. There were murmurs on the other side of the stage curtains. Ochaco and Kasumi looked at each other and nodded. The music started and they looked forward and started singing as the curtains opened.

(The Japanese lyrics are above the English translations, I'll link to the song at the end of the chapter if you'd like to listen to it, yes it's from Toradora)
