[NOT CANON IN THIS STORY. MERELY FANSERVICE FOR THE READERS, SINCE THIS STORY IS LACKING FLUFF.]
"(Y/n)! Get up! Do you know what today is??!" My mother overzealously jumps upward and downward on my bed. Perhaps she jumped a bit too hard. She ended up slamming her head into the ceiling.
"What? What's today?" I say a tad irritated. Why won't anyone allow me to sleep?
"It's Thanksgiving, of course! Now get up! There is gonna be company over! A bunch, at that!" She releases herself from the ceiling and poses dramatically.
"Who's coming? Why are we having a party?" I ponder.
"You'll see, Miss (Y/n). Now let's go cook!" Summoning her chain, she swings it around a bit and then swings it at me. It binds around my tired frame and jerks me in her direction.
"Uwah! Wait!" I plead
"No time to waste!"
"It's only 10 am!" I try to refute her argument
"I SAID NO TIME TO WASTE!"

"(Y/n)! Are you done dressing yet? Everyone is going to arrive soon." Shouting from the first floor, she began to rush me. I walk downstairs shortly after she shouts.
"Yes." I sigh. "Is there really a point in me dressing up? Nobody is going to mind what I wear anyway, correct?"
"But I want my only daughter to look good for the people, right?" My mother throws her arm around my shoulder. "I mean, Todoroki is going to be here. You gotta look good for your man!"
"Eh?! Todoroki is gonna be here?! Why would you make me dress all girly! He isn't my man, also! Jeez, stop embarrassing me...." I say in a panic.
"Whoops. Spoiled the fun! I wasn't going to tell you who is going to be arriving." She shrugs.
"Let me chang-" I attempt to say, but the doorbell rung. "Perfect timing." I sarcastically sneer.
"They must be here!" She graciously twirls over to the door and swings it open. "Welcome, everyone! Come in! Food is on the table!"
One by one, people began to pour into the house. How I dread my mother's popularity. Did she really have to be 'Crimson Rose?' Although there were many people at this party, it wasn't, like, 70 people. It was most likely around 35. Still, a plethora of people. There were a few in particular who I recognized, though. Izuku, Iida, Ochako, Bakugou, Todoroki, and Momo. I don't really speak with Yaoyorozu, so I don't quite understand why she is at the party. So, I decided to speak with her.
"Greetings, Momo. What brings you to the party?" I smile warm-heartedly and approached her.
"Oh, (Y/n)!" Momo smiles brightly "My parents were invited by your mother. She said that she didn't mind that I would come too. I hope that's okay with you." She turns to me.
"Ah, I see! Well, the more, the merrier! Enjoy the party! Don't be shy with the food! There is more than enough. My mother and I slaved away all day in order to get all this food." I say as I walk away.
"Will do!" She waves.
I continue to walk around, greeting everybody. I noticed Todoroki, Izuku, and Ochako conversating at the table, plates in hand. Bouts of laughter came from the trio.
"Hey guys. Enjoying the party?" I greet the 3. They turn their attention to me and grin.
"Hey, (Y/n)! You look really cute! What's the occasion?" She nudges me.
"My mother." I sheepishly add.
"Doesn't she look pretty?" Ochako then nudges the 2 boys.
"Y-yes..." Izuku forcefully agrees.
"Thank you, Izuku." I beam at him. I swear I could see his soul leave his body. His pupils disappeared. Was he really that nervous?
"How about you, Todoroki? Doesn't she look beautiful?" Ochako grins creepily and rubs her hands together, awaiting his answer.
"...Yes?" He replies.
"Was that a question? Come on, Todoroki! I know exactly what you want to say! 'Oh my, she looks absolutely breathtaking! I can't seem to take my eyes off of her! Please, (Y/n), be mine!', right?" Ochako imitates his voice as she hugs herself.
"Wha-" Todoroki tries to refute.
"'Oh, Todo-san! I never knew you felt this way about me! Your cold, piercing glare makes me feel butterflies in my stomach! Every time I'm with you, I feel so warm! Please, Todo-san, be with me!'" My mother, Crimson Rose herself, walks into the convo, poses dramatically, then throws her arm around Ochako, imitating me.
"Y-you're quite an embarrassing pair, huh?" I cover my face with one of my hands. "Mom, shouldn't you be with Bakugou?"
"Oh my! He's a minor! I can't do anything with him!" She gasps.
"That's not what I meant..." I chuckle.
"Ah, I see. Well, it seems that I must be going! Bye!" She quickly says and dashes away.
"...What was that about?" Iida appears.
"Don't ask, please." I sink.
The party continued. The mood of the room was extremely pleasant. Everybody was giving off good vibes. As the party went on, I seemed to have not spoken with Todoroki for most of it. I sat at the table, speaking to Izuku. Ochako was with Iida, and Bakugou was just being Bakugou.
"This turkey is fucking good! Hey, you need to make more!" He shouts at my mother.
"Psh, you only have eaten that much?! You're such a softie! I eat more than that in 10 minutes!" She booms.
"Is that a challenge, hag?!" He slams his hand on the dining table.
"Of course it is! Time for an eat off!"
So, the 2 of them was once again, having a competition. I'm not surprised whatsoever
"What a weird pair." Izuku sweats. "I feel bad for your house after this party is done."
"Yeah, I'm gonna be the one who cleans all this up." I sigh. "Anyways, have you seen Todoroki? It's been an hour and I still haven't seen him."
"Oh, I saw him with Momo, Kirishima, and Iida in the backyard. They are chicken fighting in the pool or something like that." Izuku replies.
"Oh, I see." I blink.
"Ah! Well if it isn't my soon to be daughter-in-law." Endeavor struts up to Izuku and I, booming.
"Greetings, Endeavor. I wouldn't think in a million years that you would come to a party in which Crimson Rose invited you to." I smile. Although he treats Todoroki as a tool, he is quite nice to me, for an odd reason. Hell, I could even say that I'm one of the very few people who he actually is kind to.
"Your mom might be annoying, but she can really cook. I came merely for the food." He admits. "She cooked a dinner for some Heros one day when the cook wasn't there."
"I'm blessed." I scratch the back of my head. "Well, nice talking to you! I have to attend to business!" I wave at him and pull Izuku along.
We went into the backyard and saw the 3 Izuku mentioned and Todoroki, as told, in the pool. How could they be in the pool at in this weather? They're insane. The pool must have been warm water. As said by Izuku, they were chicken fighting. Momo was on Todoroki's shoulders while Kirishima was on Iida's shoulders.
Okay, I would be a liar if I said that I wasn't jealous at all.
Slightly irritated by my feelings, I turn on my heel before my emotions overcome me. It's just as my mother said, do not let your feelings control you. They seemed to notice me.
"(Y/n)?" Todoroki turns his attention to me, well, my back.
I walk past everyone in the house and go out the front door and onto the porch. The cold and ragged wooden floor encountered the bottoms of my feet, sending chills through my body. I take a seat in the porch swing and stared into the starry night sky. Completely disregarding and forgetting about the temperature, I sat there and suffered. My nose began to run. After a few minutes pass by, a familiar voice reached my ears.
"Hey, you're gonna get sick if you just sit out here." Todoroki says with a towel around his neck.
"Says the guy who was in a pool in this weather." I chuckled.
"Whatever." He took a seat next to me and rested his elbows on his knees, leaning forward.
"Sorry that I haven't talked to you for most of the party." He bluntly puts. "I...couldn't, I guess you can say."
"What do you mean you couldn't?" I asked him, curious about his answer.
"...That's not important." He closes his eyes, clearly bothered.
"Come on, you can tell me. We're friends, after all." I nudge him and smile warmly.
"Yeah..."
"Hm? What was that?" I ask, unaware of what he said.
"Nothing. The reason why I didn't really talk with you was..." He starts.
"Was?"
"Ah, nevermind."
"Are we really doing this right now, Todoroki?
"Okay. It's because I was nervous. You looked really pretty." He leans back and sinks into the porch swing.
"Eh? Did I really look that good?" I tease. "Jeez, Todoroki. You can't let something like that stop you from talking to me! I know that I'm good looking and all!" I push his arm a bit.
"...Stop." He chuckles. Yes, you heard that right. CHUCKLED. Todoroki laughed a little! And might I add that his smile is extremely handsome. Especially with this moonlight and such.
We continued to talk until Todoroki and Endeavor had to go home. My mother and I saw them out on the porch. I was standing next to my mother while Todoroki and Endeavor stood next to each other, which was in front of me.
"See you 2 later. Todoroki, say goodbye to the young lady." Endeavor pushed Todoroki towards me.
"Yeah, (Y/n)! Say goodbye to Todoroki!" Following Endeavor's example, she pushed me. Well, the 2 of us ended up colliding. So, I suppose you can say that it was a goodbye hug. We didn't say a word. Well, we couldn't. The 2 of us were too flustered.
Soon after they left, everybody else left. My friends each wiggled their eyebrows at me as they left, which was expected. Thus led to the ending of this long party.
"Well then, (Y/n)." My mother starts.
"Time to clean up!"

I'm gonna keep this A/n short and sweet. I was planning on making another chapter after this one, you know, for the main plot, but this chapter was tiring. I don't even feel like proof-reading. I hope you enjoyed this chapter! Happy Thanksgiving!
See ya!
