"man sato, you outdid yourself with these roast potatoes," momo said happily as she went to have another bite
all 1-A was having a nice roast dinner together
"They remind me of my great grandma's potato's she makes on thanksgiving" asui smiled happily
the students then started sharing stories of what their families did during thanksgiving
all except one
"what about you tokobro? what does your family do?" Kirishima asked the even quieter than normal raven head
"Uhm, I don't have a family, so we don't celebrate it" tokoyami admitted as he played with his food
silence filled the room to the new revelation of their friend
"Sorry, I shouldn't have said anything, I'll leave," tokoyami said as he noticed the tension he thought he had created, he gathered his plate to eat it elsewhere
"tokoyami wait" occhco said sadly, but he had already left
the class was quite before tsu broke the silence
"Did anybody know about this," she asked sadly
everyone simply shook their head
"poor toko, he's never had a proper thanksgiving, possibly never had other important festivals either" hagukaura cried
"well let's change that," midoriya said determinedly
"what are you thinking?" shoot asked
and so midoriya shared his thoughts
tokoyami woke up to the smell of something sweet yet savoury
with a yawn, he got out of bed and opened the door
outside of his door, he saw an arrow pointing to the downstairs
that's where he found his friends swirling, baking, mixing and cooking
"tokoyami! about time you showed up, come join us" sero beckoned the raven head
"what's going on?" the raven asked with confusion
"well, you said you never celebrated thanksgiving so we thought we would host an early thanksgiving for you to join in with us" midoriya stated excitedly
tokoyami couldn't help but hold in tears of happiness
"thank you all so much" he thanked
in the end, they all had a lot of fun
they made and ate turkey, gravy, stuffing, potatoes, veggies, and pie
shared thanksgiving stories
and gave thanks for everything they were thankful for
and when it was tokoyami's time
even the toughest of cookies shed a tear
"and I'm thankful for all of you, you are the most amazing friends I have ever had and the fact you did all of this just for me, I may not have a biological family, but you're the best family any person could ever wish to have"
