[At least this one's not hand-delivered by some fucking bellhop wanting to ruin the damn surprise. Bakugo slides his fingers under the seams and tape, popping the wrapping open one quick sweep at a time. The resort encouraged winter traditions like mistletoe and hot chocolate; why the hell should it skip out on Christmas? ... As long as it's not pervert.
Oy. Is this guy trying to mock him? He arches a brow, eyes full of orange cape and mask. Unlike Midoriya, Bakugo's never been fond of wearing capes. Hiyori's little note earns a wry snort, but at least the thought counts? He's not sure what to do with it, but for now the pair's tucked away in his dresser drawer. Could alter them later to suit his style.
Mild needling aside, Bakugo turns the seasoning and spices over in his hands, inspecting each one curiously. Dammit, Parrot, who said you could look out for him like this? He takes Hiyori's word for it and puts them back in the box for moving later. Probably gonna give one a try tonight with a few fish fillets.
Spending the holiday away from home is... frustrating. As much as his classmates irked him with their last Christmas party, they were still there, he was at home. Now it's this gilded prison. At the very least, nothing bad happens for the day, so Hiyori's hope came true.
A few hours after, however, a package is left by Hiyori's door, silent and waiting inside green wrapping (deliberately a certain image color). Bakugo's not about to knock and get swept into whatever holiday festivities the idol's got going on. Did he actually spend time shopping for this guy, enough to get him a few things? ... Yes, but you won't see him admitting to it.
Inside rests a plastic-wrapped salmon quiche, big enough to share, and four apple tarts. Homemade. Internet's a goddamn tattletale. And a small box protecting a strong smart key-ring like item. It's a charm collection ring (but can be used for keys if wanted) with a little silver apple, microphone, and star already added to it. Hiyori's free to find and add more from the different stores around the resort. An excuse to go shopping, right?
A small note rests atop it all:
Share these with someone you like. Or eat them yourself. It's your Christmas.
[Let it be known that Hiyori didn't expect one gift, let alone three. Technically six, if you count the four (!!) homemade apple tarts as separate gifts. It's not that he doesn't think Bakugo is very giving—he knows the guy is more considerate than he looks. But the phone charms? His favorite food in the whole world, which he wasn't even sure Bakugo remembered?? The fact the food looks homemade??? Why, he's almost speechless.]
Did you make all these yourself?
[He sends a photo of the quiche and tarts, spread out on the coffee table in his living area. (His suite, admittedly, doesn't have tons of counter space.)]
... is what he'd usually say, but at the moment, he's too busy feeling touched. Bakugo really went to all that effort just for him, and he remembered his favorite food, too! The fact the food was homemade just makes things feel even more special. How should he express his gratitude?]
While he has the Queen suite, he's going to flex its capabilities. Guess he lucked out in the swapping crap. Hiyori reaps some rewards as well. You should see his face. Ugh, hugs? Hell no.]
[That's the only response he gets. Just stupid affectionate emojis!
(He'll invite Bakugo over for some leftover pie in a day or two, and probably also offer some leftover Christmas cake or Christmas cookies while he's at it.)]

Guess he'll come over at the invite... for a bit.]
