[ A wrapped package can be found at Bakugo's door after the Christmas Party. Unwrapping it reveals a set of stress balls. They're golden, very shiny and come with an instruction manual for anger management.
There is a message with the gift, written on a Christmas postcard: ]
Bakugo,
I believe you are a really good kid who just needs some help to manage your emotions. I have many routines I have developed and learned to deal with my anxiety, you shouldn't hesitate to ask me if you need help with that.
Merry Christmas! -- Ereshkigal, Goddess of Death and Queen of Kûr
[Who is this from? He's expected a few presents from certain people, but the message is in handwriting he doesn't instantly recognize. Though that quickly changes when he reads it. Dammit! And he went easy on her in that snowball war too! (Ignoring her giant-ass snow boulder revenge.) Bakugo palms one of the balls a few times, at least finding the texture and strength of them pleasant to the touch. Hmph...
He's not a kid and he can manage his emotions easy as fuck. Buuut... hearing she's someone who has anxiety coupled with the gift stays his tongue. He'll have to treat Ereshkigal to lunch or something next year.
Expect him to keep these on his desk. They will get use even if he excuses it as strength training for his hands than anything stress related.]
