Total Command

Chapter 8: And once when you look death in the face

"It's time" he breathed staring at the gates of UA.

It was April 24th, the day of the practical exam. "They really are cutting it close" he huffed walking through the gates

"The exam is too close for move in- then again the written portion was at the beginning of April- they might just give out the acceptances tomorrow or the day after-" he imagined Nozomi cackling evilly "and this might be just to amp up the stre-"

"Stop fucking mumbling Nerd" Grumbled Katsumi from behind him, taking him out of his trance. Her voice was loud enough to attract the attention of other test- takers, eyes landing on her then gravitating to the man right next to her.

The crowd around them succumbed to whispering at each other, or just looking at Izuku in shock

"Kacchan- could you please keep your voice down? Your attracting too muc-" he meekly started, getting cut off

"I'LL KEEP MY VOICE DOWN WHEN YOU STOP THIS SUICIDAL NONSENSE, DEKU" She screeched

He didn't back down. Keeping his ground.

She huffed and passed him by, her shoulder slamming against his, hair trailing behind her.

That could have gone better both of them thought.

Izuku, now hyper-aware of all the eyes on him decided to just ignore it and continue walking towards the main hall for the orientation on the exam. Closing his eyes as he did so. This shouldn't get to me I am ready for this exam, more than enough

He really wasn't

His foot caught on a slightly higher brick on the pavement, causing him to trip.

Oh, way to go Deku he chided himself, preparing for a martial arts flip to not slam down on his face.

Moments before his roll; something touched his shoulder, inertia flipped him forward as his weight left him; his momentum dying midway though. Causing him to float upside down.

"eh?"

"Oh sorry- didn't know you were gonna do that," said a bubbly voice, he looked down(?) to see her face, a little round with two pink blush-marks right on her cheek-bones. Face framed by brown hair that seemed to disagree with gravity, floating at her sides with supernatural volume.

He tried his best to ignore his inner-ears going crazy with the sudden lack of gravity throwing them off, he also tried to ignore that he could see up her skirt. Thank god she is wearing shorts under there

She grasped him by his ankle and softly rotated him back, right side up. "I shouldn't have used my quirk but- it would have been bad luck if you fell down right?" her eyes were still closed, her mouth in a soft smile. Sunlight hitting her hair just at the right angle to highlight her hair like a halo

She looked angelic.

She clapped her hands, he thought it was her apologizing again, but he realized it was her dispelling her quirk when he felt his weight return

"lets both do our best on the exaaa-" She opened her eyes midway through saying that. His emerald eyes met her brown ones for the first time.

"aaaaaaaaa-" she started blushing wildly, the blush-marks growing to encompass all of her face.

Well that's a reaction I am not used to

"Uh- Midoriya Izuku, nice to meet you," he said reaching a hand out blushing slightly. She was adorable

"U- Ura" she started blush getting even darker "rararar-" her quirk accidentally activated, causing her to start to float upwards "rarara" Panicking he grabbed her by the shoulder, hoping that her quirk was hand-contact only.
