Tomorrow was finally Christmas Eve, leaving Kirishima and Bakugou in a good mood. Currently, they were cuddled on the bed, the blonde curled into the redhead's chest. Over the past few days, the dorms had gotten much colder, and all around the building, decorations were going up. Bakugou was getting back to his old self again, just in time for Christmas. Kirishima knew it wouldn't last long, so he was going to make the most of the time he had now. Pulling the blonde a little closer to his chest, he kissed the top of his head.

"Eijirou?" Bakugou murmured, looking up at his boyfriend. Humming in acknowledgment, the redhead focused his attention on the other boy.

"Can we celebrate it almost being Christmas Eve? I'm craving a damn eggnog." Bakugou said, making Kirishima giggle. He finally had that little flare back.

"Why don't we head to the cafeteria? No one will be down there." Kirishima answered, getting a nod from his boyfriend. Sitting up, the redhead looked down at the blonde still laying down.

"Katsuki?" Kirishima felt the name leave his mouth before he had the chance to know what he was doing.

"Yea?" Bakugou answered, pushing himself so he was sitting next to the taller boy. Kirishima turned to look at him, a tinge of sadness in his eyes.

"I'm glad you're okay...you had me worried there....just know whatever happens in the future...I'll be by your side," Kirishima told Bakugou, catching him off guard. At first, he didn't a response from the blonde, but moments later, he tackled him to the bed. A small yelp left the redhead as Bakugou landed on top of him.

"I love you too idiot...thank you." Bakugou murmured in response, before kissing Kirishima on the cheek. The redhead's cheeks began heating up, looking up at his boyfriend.

"Come on let's go," Bakugou said to Kirishima, getting off of him. It took him a few moments, but the redhead got out of his gaze, getting ready side by side with the blonde. After getting ready, they headed to the cafeteria, where they were serving holiday drinks. When the two entered the cafeteria, they came t find that no one else was in there with them. Bakugou let out a relieved sigh, grabbing ahold of Kirishima's hand and pulling him to the line.

"What do you want?" Bakugou asked, turning towards the redhead. When he turned to look at him, the taller male was looking at the shorter, a smile on his face. "What?"

"Nothing I just love you...and I'll have a hot chocolate." Kirishima's words left the blonde red-faced. The redhead giggled, walking up to the table and ordering for himself and blonde.

A few moments later, their drinks were ready, Kirishima going to grab them. They had chosen a small table in the corner of the lunch room, where no one could hear them talking. As soon as they sat down, Kirishima laced his fingers with the blonde's, making them both smile. Bakugou lifted his drink to his mouth, taking a sip.

"This is surprisingly good for shitty cafeteria drinks," Bakugou muttered under his breath, making the redhead laugh. From then on, the two just sat there, drinking their drinks and talking about everything and everyone. A few people came into the room, but the two didn't let it bother them. They had already come out, so they could be as 'gross' as they wanted. After what seemed like hours, they finished their drinks and headed back to their dorms. When they arrived back, Bakugou ran at and then proceeded to throw himself on the bed.

"Eijirou...can I just..fuck." Bakugou stuttered, biting his lip. Kirishima cocked his head in confusion, joining his boyfriend on the bed.

"You can say anything you want babe." Kirishima sat down on the bed, pressing his back to the wall. The blonde turned to look at him, a slight fear in his eyes. It hurt Kirishima to his core, causing him to open his arms for Bakugou. He only nodded, moving himself to slide into his lover's arms.

"Really what's up?" Kirishima whispered, concerned. He knew what it dealt with, but he didn't know exactly what it was.

"I'm just really worried about my mom...I know she said she's going to be okay...but what if she's lying to me? I really love her and just...I don't think I could keep going like I am if I lost her....E-Eijirou...will she really be okay?" Bakugou whimpered, tears welling in his eyes. Wrapping his arms a little tighter around the blonde's waist, Kirishima nodded.

"She's so strong, Katsuki. I'm sure she'll come out of that surgery just fine. She'll be fine, you'll be fine, we'll be fine. Everything will be okay." Kirishima answered, making a few tears roll down the blonde's cheek. Every word that left the redhead's mouth broke his heart a little bit more. He knew that she wasn't going to be okay. He just couldn't tell Bakugou. He needed hope, even if it false. Hope is all he needs, and that will help him make it through this.

"T-Thanks." The blonde turned around in the redhead's lap, clinging to him for dear life. Kirishima hugged Bakugou close, wanting to hide him from the future. What the future held for the two, it was absolutely terrifying. All they had at this point was each other. Kirishima let all the thoughts of his and Bakugou's future as he held the blonde close to his chest. It was going to be hard, but they could survive with each other's help. They could do this.
