Delivered

°⨳°·..·°⨳°⊹٭ - ٭⊹°⨳°·..·°⨳°

The girl's face had, unbeknownst to her, contracted itself into a scowl as she remained laser focused on her screen. She was almost too scared to even glance at her surroundings, as if they'd collapse in on her and bury her before she even started her hero career.

Strongly held back whispers of breath finally escaped the constricted confinement of her lips as she drew herself from the word "Delivered" that bore itself into her eyes. Her grip on her fuzzy, yellow and black striped phone case slightly loosened as she dragged her gaze up words, forcing herself to scan the daunting crowd of students passing her by, all adorning the same grey and greenish uniform that scratched against her skin.

Mouth twisted anxiously, she felt her heart dropping by the second until finally, her bright eyes landed on a particularly short, ribbiting friend.

"Asui!" she squealed, the weight of the gazes that fell on her now weightless as she ran to squeeze her friend half to death.

" Ribbit, good to see you, (y/n)," Asui managed to squeeze out of her lungs as she hugged her eager counterpart. "Why'd you get here so early? Doesn't class start in like an hour?"

"I was nervous," she admitted sheepishly, finally letting her go. "But I totally regret it now. I looked like such a loner while everyone was meeting up with their friends; I think some know each other from the entrance exam."

"Yeah? Shouldn't you have some buddies from the reference exam?"

Side eye.

"Please be so for real right now," she grumbled, linking arms with her as they trudged through the looming doors of U.A. "You're talking about the gang of boys that knocked me over at the literal start of the assessment? You're more likely to see me beating their ass before being buddy buddy with those hooligans."

"Erm, that's not very heroic!," Asui said in a nasally voice with a finger stuck up before it was quickly smacked away.

"Erm, shut your mouth," she mimicked playfully

°⨳°·..·°⨳°⊹٭ - ٭⊹°⨳°·..·°⨳°

"Why're the doors so big, ribbit ?!"

"Maybe 'cause you're so short?" (y/n) proposed pointedly.

"You're five centimeters taller than me."

"And the door looks normal to me," she lied, raising her eyebrow as she pushed the door open. "Your point is- oop- '' She quickly pulled the door closed again as she retreated back out of the room, turning to Asui in a scared, low voice. "Oh my god Tsu there's only one person in there and he's writing in his book like there's no tomorrow we have to go-"

"Good morning!"

"OHMYGOD"

" Ribbit. "

"I am from Somei Private academy. My name is Tenya Iida," the guy before them recited pridefully with his hand firmly outstretched.

(y/n) had latched on to her shorter friend as she watched her shake his hand.

"I'm Tsuyu Asui," she croaked, unbothered by the force squeezing her arm. "This is (l/n) (y/n)."

"Pleasure to make your acquaintance, fellow classmates!" He took their hands and shook them vigorously, loosening the fear that tightened the scared girl's muscles.

"Same to you," she spoke, forgetting her fear as his name struck a chord in her brain. "You came in the top ten for the entrance exam! Impressive!"

"Correct, thank you! I do not know who you are, but I appreciate your recognition!"

Well damn.

Tsu snorted back a giggle behind (y/n) as she tried to nonchalantly dismiss the arrow pierced through her ego, earning Tsu a hard glare from the corner of her eye.

It took less than no time for the unwanted doubts that had warped (y/n)'s thinking to quickly dissolve as each new student that made up her new class was respectfully amazed by the mutation of her quirk.

"Omg, does that mean you can fly?"

"Wait that's so sick,"

"What!? Bro I actually wish I had wings."

And that was how she first saw him.

Amongst all the chaos, all the animated questions from a curious yellow haired and pink skinned duo, stood a tall, lanky black-haired boy, who smiled a small, lazy, but charming smile as they locked eyes.

It was kind of awkward in the moment.

Like that "I actually don't know who you are '' kind of awkward.

And she definitely staggered trying to respond.

But she smiled back anyway.

Hesitant and small, but a smile nonetheless.

Somehow, just somehow, that was enough for him.
