Just as the winter break started. Katsuki started to get more protective to Izuku. He still choose to hid all his feelings as he thought, Izuku might still not yet ready.
The four met Ojiro and become instantly clicked together. Although Ojiro still don't know him as Midori Usagi as the two was under an Non Disclosure Contract and both Katsuki and Izuku doesn't want to talk that about.
As the Christmas is getting near to arrive, Izuku then post a song that Katsuki never see Izuku work with.
"Kacchan?" Izuku softly said.
"Yes?" Katsuki ask.
"I'll post something in my channel. Why not you watch it?" Izuku ask. Katsuki frown but still took his phone and watch the video that that been released 9 hours ago.
(This is the version I use⬆️⬆️) I change the lyrics a bit too but it still the same
(Original song ⬆️⬆️)
Nothing ever stays the same
You'll pull me close to you
I still remember how we struggled back in those days
All of that time, it's deep inside my memory
But soon enough, will end up lost and fade away
Null is in his room, the place was decorated by christmas decoration while he was writing the lyrics.
I've forgotten everything, I've just been standing here
Since when could I have tolerated any more of this?
All of my "friends", they'd always keep on telling me
That I should just give up and not resist
The letters from Null's writing started to become a stickman type of animation. The scene looks like a flipbook where the usual smooth transition is out of nowhere. It was like a drawing within a drawing. It create some scene where Null is surrounded by negativity
I could never keep it all inside
I know that fate was never on my side
It feels like I am growing every day
I'm reaching for the sun, for the sky, feels so close, and yet so far away
The "camera" suddenly went back to Null who's still writing then when the "camera" move in 180 degree, Null was suddenly running and reaching the light.
For you, I'm screaming out what you need to hear
And I don't know if it would ever find its way to you
Tell me, where should I go if we're moving on?
I just don't know 'cause I am always holding on to you
And even though I know you would never say it, you wouldn't look away
So give me everything, 'cause I believe
I want to change
This time, Null is still reaching the light which become clearer and clearer. The image of bommer is appearing. Null keeps on running, but he still seems like he can't reach Bommer, he trip with stones repeatedly but still keeps on standing up to run.
What could you learn from me?
I put off everything
But we all know that we can't stay like this forever
Just to preserve the bond we shared with everyone
But now my cry will go unheard
Null stop from running and the "camera" move back again to where it was a while ago, the scene change again and it went back to his room, where he was writing again.
If I were to keep it locked away
It would be like the feeling never came
But I could not forget the friends I made
Lifting me up from the ground, don't you know there is another way?
The scene becomes the letter again, like Null is writing those letters and word.
Today, the sun comes up, I know what to do
I'll play it strong for everyone who needs a miracle
You know there's nothing else that I could have done
But am I strong enough to carry you all on my own?
You're always in my heart, I could never fight it, the memories deep inside
I'm lost without you this time, this time
The stickman animation suddeny went back. Now the drawing of Null in the "paper" suddenly manage to get away from the negativity that surrounds him when the other characters like eclipse (Jiro), Bolt (Denki), and others offered him a hands.
I don't really know what you tried to teach me
Wishin' I could go back and let you reach me
I don't really think I could hold it all down
Every single time, I would always fall down
Doing nothing wrong, but I blame it on me
Bearing everything just to place it on me
Everything I'm feeling would say to leave you
Wanted nothing more than to just believe you
Null's face went from drawing to "real" while he accept the paw of bommer. He suddenly manage to reach the light from the running and all of the characters he introduce was there aside from Faith (Inko). Smiling at both of them.
For you, I'm screaming out what you need to hear
But now I know that you could never bring me happiness
And so for me, there's one more wish that I have to make
Something that I have always kept deep inside my heart
The lies you tell yourself, they will never save you, we live another day
So stay here with me, 'cause I believe
I want to change
Null smile as he build up himself. His "family" got added and was getting happy in the family he got. The last scene is Null and Bommer was visiting Faith's grave together and leave a white rose to her tombstone before leaving.

The song seems to be a message for Katsuki when he heard the lyrics. A song that Izuku felt before or might still feel today. Its a meaningful song. Most of the commentor was actually a bit confused to the flow of the animation specially it doesn't really fit well to the lyrics.
But Katsuki knew what was going on. He knew the meaning behind the scenes.
"Hound dog told me to try accepting the bitterness I felt or maybe address it too. I wanted to be honest... I still really feel so bitter to what happen between us. The verbal bullying you did before actually much hurtful than the physical abuse I got... Although I already forgive you, and I don't want you to left me again.... Sometimes I still felt some resentment towards you. I don't know it feels wrong. You know? Like I hate you but I also don't want to lose you. Its confusing feeling..." Izuku mutter. Katsuki immediately felt guilty specially to what he did back then.
"Its okay if you felt some resentment towards me, Izuku. Its normal because I am a fucking jerk. I know it myself. So don't blame yourself if you feel these way okay? I'm glad you're honest with me, at least I knew I still had some chance to completely erase those resentment of yours. Izu... If you want to hurt me because of this I will not be mad," Katsuki softly said as he look to Izuku lovingly.
It kinda hurts to know Izuku had some resentment but he knew he deserve it.
"No! I will not hurt you! I wouldn't do that!" Izuku immediately said with widen eyes. He look horrified to Katsuki for saying those things.
"Okay, okay, okay! I'll stop. Calm down, Zuzu," Katsuki said and pulls Izuku towards his embrace. He blushed a bit on how close they are but clear his thought because his priority is to calm down Izuku.
"I'm sorry, Kacchan..." Izuku started to break down in Katsuki's embrace. While Katsuki could feel his heart hurt. He hurt Izuku who's been with him in his worst, the person who never leave him, the person who like him as Katsuki not as a kid who have a powerful quirk.
He felt stupid. How could he hurt someone like him?
"Your words hurt more than everything they did to me, Kacchan. I don't want to lose anyone again. Its scary to br alone, I don't..." Katsuki did his best to comfort him. But he never told Izuku to stop crying. He wanted Izuku to release everything.
Denki and Kyoka found the two in that state. Both became worried to Izuku who's still crying. Kyoka started to cry too and immediately went to Izuku and hugs him. Denki did the same and hugs the two.
They stay in that way until Izuku felt asleep in the pile of embrace with a content smile.

Their group did celebrate the christmas eve to HI with many kids and the staffs who choose to live in the Institute. Kyoka specially sang some song for the kids. Ojiro Family was also invited and some staff of UA who doesn't have a family to celebrate as of now like Present Mic and Aizawa.
Its a big celebration where there's a lot of foods and dances. Izuku although its a bit overwhelmed to how many people who greeted him of merry christmas and give him a lot of small gifts. He still enjoy his day celebrating it with many peoples.
Izuku was known in Hopeful Institute as one of the top donor. Even Katsuki was known for being a volunteer so both of them receive a lot of gifts from the kids and teens that they cater.
"Are you okay?" Katsuki ask to Izuku who was in the balcony right now. He offers some drinks to Izuku and Izuku took it immediately.
"Yeah, just a bit overwhelmed on how many kids greets me and gave some presence," Izuku said with a small smile.
"I'm glad to see you smile so often now, Zuzu. Even if its small, it still progress," Katsuki softly said.
"I did?" Izuku ask in shock and Katsuki nodded.
"I guess... And those nightmares too wasn't as often as it was before. Hound Dog-san really did help a lot I guess?" Izuku said.
"So, do you want to go home and take a rest?" Katsuki ask.
"The party is still on going, Kacchan," Izuku said with a smile.
"So what? You're health is more fucking important than these party," Katsuki said. Izuku just nodded and went to Katsuki.
Katsuki wanted to carry him in princess carry but decided that he might actually moving so fast, so he offers his back. Izuku who's already tired, didn't complain and went to Katsuki's house.
Izuku yawn and close his eyes the moment Katsuki carried him. Katsuki went to the adults that Izuku was already tired and wanted to rest.
The staff offers a room from the nearby building and Katsuki immediately took it. Thats how they got out of the party which ends at 3 am.
--*--
New years' eve came and Izuku celebrate it with the Bakugous. The new year was much simple than their christmas party. They just cook some feast and watch the fireworks around while people is welcoming the new year with so much noises.
Katsuki felt contented to be able to be on Izuku's side. He wish that Izuku will be completely be healed to everything that happens. The party ends much earlier which is at 1 am.

Katsuki and Izuku prepare for their finals specially after they went back to school. Of course, BWH did made Izuku's test a lot harder but still within all the lessons they made. Even Katsuki is preparing for the finals and entrance exam of UA. Which is in 3rd week of January.
Kyoka, Mashirao, and Denki was with them when they had a study session which was where they all been grateful because Izuku and Katsuki is really a good teacher. Although they prefer Izuku since Katsuki will hit them without an actual force of newspaper in head if they got it wrong while playfully shouting to them.
"So how are you, Midoriya-kun?" Nezu ask. He was one of Izuku's proctor in his test today. With his Language Professor from England, Physical Combat from Japan, and Mechanic & Engineering from Switzerland. The two did fly in Japan just to proctor the Test. They are all an alumni of BWH who was certified as genius in some aspect they are teaching others.
"Good luck Midoriya-kun," Takeshi Ojiro said, his Physical combat Teacher. Nezu smile and nodded as sign of good luck too.
"We knew you can do it," His professor in Language said.
"You can do it!" His professor in M&E said in English who have a heavy accent of German. Izuku felt nervous as he took the first test from his 5 core subject which is from the Japanese Language, Social Studies, Mathematics, Science, English. Then followed by Physical Education, Economics, Music & Fine Arts. These are all in the first day.
Second day is his specialize subject like World Language, M&E (Mechanic and Engineering), Strategy, Computer Programming, Business, Culinary, and Specialize music and arts. Its a hectic two days as it will start from 6 am and will end with estimation of 6 pm.
The others are in Final Exam week too like Katsuki who started their finals in Day two of Izuku's finals.
Its a bit uncomfortable for Izuku to have someone staring at him while answering the test. But after his brain entirely focus on the Test, it seems like everything just faded. His brain started to function and all the answer just started to appear to him. He smile and continuously write answers in the test sheets.
In middle of writing, sometimes he will massage his hand as its getting a bit of pain from writing.
After the hectic two days, the proctor was the one who check his papers and performance task. They all smile as Izuku got a full mark to everything. Even in his practical exams like hacking the police department data base, or him building something within a short span of time and limited resources. The proctor slash Professors are all genuinely proud to what Izuku accomplished specially they already made the test hard enough for average person.
"Oh god! That three days test is really stressful!" Denki complain, they are now on the cat cafe just relaxing after their test.
"I agree, but why your finals was three days? Our finals are only two days," Mashirao said who was eating some cake.
"Well, we got three days too," Kyoka said, eating the ice cream she brought.
"How about you, Midoriya-kun? Bakugou-kun?" Mashirao ask.
"Both of us got two days," Katsuki said who was just drinking some teas. Izuku was just drinking some tea too beside Katsuki.
"Wow, that must be more stressful than us," Denki said with wide eyes.
"Not really, the test is okay, its a bit challenge but I got it anyway," Izuku said.
"I'm nervous to the exam result," Kyoka worriedly said.
"Same," Denki said who also look worried.
"Well, I'm not sure if I will get a high score but I'm sure I'll graduate Middle School," Mashirao said.
"We still have a lot of requirements to fullfill these days. And UA's entrance exam is coming. The exam was already been change so I'm quiet nervous, I might not get in," Denki worriedly said.
"I'll help you all to study for the written exam. But with the level of your physical attribute, I'm sure you could enter," Izuku kindly said.
"I really hope so, its quiet nervous actually," Kyoka said and sigh.
"We are here to fucking relax so quit that fucking topic!" Katsuki irritatingly said. The two just nodded.
With that they proceed to walk around. When they got into Dagobah Municipal Beach, the three was shock that the place was already been clear.
"Guys! Lets go there!" Denki excitedly said. They just followed and went to the beach.
"Oh! Thank you to whoever clean this place. The place is too beautiful," Kyoka said who started to walk at the water.
"You don't know its Midoriya-kun who clean this?" Mashirao ask in shock.
"You did?" Denki ask in shock.
"Yeah, its one of my physical training and manage to finish it in one year. That could actually be shorten if not for I'm busy. So I just manage my time to train here for something I need to attend," Izuku explain with blushing face because of embarrassment.
"It still cool. God I know how hectic your schedule is as we always been with you but to be able to actually include cleaning this beach? That's really impressive," Kyoka said.
"I know right," Denki smugly said as he was also proud for Izuku. Izuku wanted to shrink in embarrassment and hide inside Katsuki's embrace. Katsuki immediately shouted them to stop but he just earn some laughter.
"Midoriya-kun, your provincial license exam is getting near right? When was is?" Mashirao ask. Of course he knew it since his father is one of Izuku's professor.
"Wait really?" Denki ask in shock.
"Uhm, just a week before the first day of UA's new batch. I'll fly in Switzerland since UN HPSC will personally test me out," Izuku said with a smile.
"So you're planning to be a world hero or something?" Kyoka ask.
"You could say that," Izuku said and smile.
"Good luck then!" Denki said and grin.
The five of them play at the beach for an hour before going back to their work in Studio 2. Mashirao did went back to their Dojo to help his father.

Entrance Exam is getting near. It may or may not start in next chapter it depends on how long Izuku's provincial License Exam
