"HAHAHAHHA HAAAA!"
Katsuki broke out in near maniacal laughter looking at the photos in his hand.
"Dude, are you okay?" Kirishima asked cautiously.

It's katsuki's birthday, most class 1A is gathered in the common room just hanging out. A random horror movie plays on the tv (courtesy of Katsuki screaming at Kaminari until he played the movie) but acts mostly as background noise.
Izuku had spent this weekend preparing for katsuki's birthday on Monday. Preparing how? First he stole katsuki's All Might figurine they both have, but Katsuki's has a defining scratch on the arm from when he fell in the river holding it. He then photographed every single place he and Katsuki made memories at or frequented when they were little with the All Might figurine in the photo in all sorts of positions. In one photo he bubble wrapped the figurine and placed it in a tinfoil bowl Izuku had made just for that photo. He joking captioned that photo " didn't want to damage your "mint condition" All Might figurine. 😉".
And now it's Izuku's time to hand Katsuki the box of all the printed photographs, captioned and sarcastic stickers on the back and perfectly wrapped in the box. He approached the couch Katsuki is lounging on, gripping the box rightly out of nerves. Katsuki hasn't even noticed Izuku yet, too absorbed in a cooking video about cooking with explosions playing on his phone. "Kacchan! For you." Most of his classmates present turn to him, while Katsuki barley even looks at him, just tells him to leave it on the couch, to which Kirishima immediately tells him to thank Izuku and that he's being rude. Katsuki completely ignores Kirishima.

"Bakubro, you should open the gift Izuku gave you. You were rude to him before, you should at least open the gift dude. Being rude isn't manly y'know." Kirishima argues . Katsuki grunts indignantly, turning to the box. He grabs the top of the wrapping and tears it off the box aggressively, throwing off the kid of the box and throwing it behind him, hitting Jiro in the face. " BAKUGO! What the hell!? " Jiro yells back immediately after getting hit in the face. She stabs, or at least tries to stab Katsuki in the side with her earjacks but he very casually snacks her earjack away with a simple swat of the hand.
He looks in the box, temporarily freezing, then moving to pick up a picture of his very first All Might figurine, in a look floaty on the very same stream he fell into when he was young, with the log he fell off of in the background of the photo. Underneath the photo is a little note: " left the floaty there incase you fall there again. And don't worry about littering, the floaty is biodegradable. " Katsuki flat offended and impressed at the sassieness in the message, did Izuku really write that? It was honestly kinda funny, hilarious even. To think that the boy who used to cower at the sight of Katsuki is now gifting him sassily captioned photos of meaningful places to him. It was absolutely hilarious.
He reached for the next photo, glancing at Kirishima who looked genuinely alarmed at how calm Katsuki was being. The best photo was of the All Might figurine wrapped in bubble wrap in a tinfoil bowl in front of one of the swings at the playground he and Izuku used to play at, which was something Katsuki had actually done to the figurine after he has scuffed up the paint job on the toy. The sassy caption for this one was: "Didn't want to damage your "mint condition" All Might figurine. 😉" , which was a stab at how Katsuki used to try and convince everyone he met that his All Might figurine was "mint condition" after it got its paint job scuffed up.
Katsuki burst of laughing.
"HAHAHAHHA HAAAA!"
Katsuki broke out in near maniacal laughter looking at the photos in his hand.
"Dude, are you okay?" Kirishima asked cautiously.
Kaminari just looked at him with his hands already clasped together praying to Kami to save him.
Todoroki looked vaguely amused.
"DEKU! GET THE FUCK DOWN HERE, THIS SHIT IS HILARIOUS!"
Katsuki yelled towards the stairs, assuming Izuku was in his dorm. He assumed wrong, Izuku walked out of the kitchen, practically appearing beside Katsuki, spooking Katsuki but Katsuki wouldn't admit that.
Izuku and Katsuki spent the rest of their evening going through the photos, though it was mostly just Katsuki reading the captions on the photos and slapping Izuku upside the head for being a menace while laughing uncontrollably.
