"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"

Vigil's Justice (Vigil Bound Book 1)
Death is a real son of a bitch. Boyd Knight found his calling when he joined the Marines and qualified for the elite Force Recon. He’d found a tribe and a family, so when a hand grenade landed near his team, he jumped on it without thought or regret. But instead of winding up dead, he wakes up butt naked in a cave full of monsters with a knife in one hand and a pistol in the other. He’s been hand chosen by the Five-Faced God of Justice and entrusted with the power of the Vigil Bound. Every kill makes him stronger and thanks to the Ascendant System, Boyd can level up, unlock increasingly powerful spells, and even harness the abilities of the monsters he’s been dispatched to hunt. If he can survive the deadly shapeshifter stalking him from the shadows, Boyd’s second life promises to be even more ass-kickingly epic than his first.

8 126The Afterlife, And How To Survive It (Barely)
Larry Foulery's monotonous, directionless life changed drastically, when he got shot in the face. Reincarnated into a new world, where he has nothing to lose and everything to gain, and with the honor and dedication of an part-time fast food cashier, he is ready to face this adventure. Kinda. The story takes place in the cynical world of Afterlife, where status screens and are considered normal, and the rule of physics cry in a corner, because nobody cares about them, and they are alone and lonely, and their family hasn't called them in years. Anyways, have fun. BTW don't stare too long into the story cover. I get the feeling it stares back. I'm trying to improve my writing, so feel free to bombard me with criticism.
8 145Conflicted Feelings
What does it mean to be loved? What does it mean to be their parents’ everything? What does it mean to be someone’s home? Erminae didn’t really know. It wasn’t for the lack of trying. But, she thought with envy, wasn’t it just what Vicenzio had? She saw her mother’s indifference, saw her father’s unresponsiveness. Whoever she tried hard to get close to the result was the same. She was but air for them. She saw that woman came in with her son. She saw him get what she always desired. Her jealousy turned her into another person, an ugly one, blinding her to other possibilities. And ultimately, she understood, what she was searching for she would never get. This was when she finally learned to let go… _________________ First part finished
