Quirkless Isn't Hopeless (Complete)

Sky Embrace

"They said wait for a diversion..." Izuku was peeking from a window, inside a building. He was staring at a building vertically across the intersection. That's where the heroes who needed help were. The class had zeroed in on the signal fire. The building was blocked by the 'villains.'

"That's right, we have to be patient." She whispered next to his ear.

Deku tried to steady his breathing. His face was growing red. 'This is worse than bad!' The class had decided to split up Hatsume and Midoriya, they both had the ability to repair equipment and had ammo reserves, it would be more optimal that way. 'Although I doubt Hatsume can focus...' But that wasn't the problem for him right now. Right now he was dealing with this vixen breathing down his neck. Iida, the class representative was with Hatsume, and Midoriya was left with the vice representative. 'Why did it turn out like this?! It would have been better if I was paired with Iida!'

"Is something wrong, I-zu-ku..." Her breath trickled down his ear, as she leaned over him, both glancing for an opportunity to act.

"N-Nothing!.." His hair hid his stammered eyes. He shivered the moment she leaned on his back to get a better view.

Then came the boom! "E-Eh?!" The building in front of them had a minor explosion in the lobby floor. That was the obvious divergence. "C'mom we have to go." Without thinking, he grabbed her hand, running straight to the window.

"Wait a minute! M-Midoriya?!" She had wide eyes as he threw himself at the window, dragging her along for the ride.

The glass shattered as they busted into the sky. He had an excited gleam in his eyes, but she was crying her lungs out.

"Don't worry, I got you."

She stilled her voice, hearing his. Somehow, even through the blarring air in her ears, she heard it. It was that comforting husky whisper he always had on those nights. Her eyes twinkled. He had twisted his body around, ready to catch her. The wind had guided their bodies close. She reached out, her fingertips grazed his jaw, she skimmed them up to his cheeks until she had a delicate but trusting grip. She was falling down to him, she smiled before they met. "Right now, it's just us, here... Izuku." With a teasing giggle.

He gasped, feeling her arms go around his neck, bringing them closer in the skydive embrace. They had half-lidded wanting eyes, staring at each other. They closed them locking lips with a tender motion, as they fell through the sky.

Slowly, they broke apart, opening their eyes. "Momo..." He let out, trying to catch his breath.

She smiled, but it was that loving smile that she only opened up for him to see because there was a delicate shine in her onyx orbs that she only trusted with him. His own eyes began to grow. It was so endearing he almost missed it. He remembered seeing her lips moves. She finished, tilting her head. The wind blew away her words, but he heard it. He wanted to be so sure he heard it...

"Save me."

Tangled in a timeless fall of faith.

"How are we still alive?!" Izuku exasperated, still in shock. He had drifted, swerved, flipped, spun, and grinded to the roof of the target building. 'I was too focused on Momo that I almost let us fall to our deaths! I can't forget how dangerous these air trek are.'

"It was fun. Let's do it again sometime." She said as he let her down.

He almost choked on his spit. "F-Fun?" He didn't expect for the well educated and proper Yaoyorozu to be the type to enjoy what they just survived through. "S-Sure."

She leaned forward, finger to her lips and a wink, all with a secretive, naughty, attitude. "Sounds like a date."

He parted his lips taking in the rare sight. "A playful Momo..." He blurted out in a delighted daze.
