"Or I could just fucking die", Izuku thought as he plummeted towards the ground, inches away from a bloody mess, he feels a sensation of weightlessness wash over him, he opens his eyes and notices a girl with a brown bob and pink cheeks staring at him. Before Manami takes the opportunity to spin her love around like he's on a carnival ride, "aaaahhhh," he shouts, having a history of hating rollercoasters.
"Oh I'm sorry, release," as she touches the tips of her fingers together and the boy crashes to the ground in a heap. "I thought it would be a bad to trip on your first day." both girls reaching down and pick Izuku off the ground, "I'm Ochako Ururaka, it's nice to meet you Mr. Deku," she greets the strangers, extending both her hands to the pair.
"It's Midoriya, Izuku Midoriya," Izuku corrects her, after years of all the lovey dovey with Ai-Chan Izuku can finally talk to girls like a normal human being, sort of.
"But that boy said," she spoke with confusion.
The green haired boy shakes his head violently, "Kaachan's a jerk, if any part of the this test is based on personality he's going to get the lowest score possible." he jokes with her. He glances down and notices she hasn't let go of his hand, so Izuku uses his other hand to cover a cough and gesture with it, "Ururaka, this is, Manami Aiba, my girlfriend," he points out, "My very committed girlfriend." Stating firmly so there could be no confusion.
She seemed to get it at that and quickly let go of the hand, "Sorry, it's just, no, I wasn't really thinking," she rubbed the back of her head.
Looking to Ai-chan who had been unusually quiet, she's normally so friendly, but it looks like right now she's sizing up a fight. "Hmmm, I approve," she states, "You'll be a good friend." Izuku lets out a sigh of relief that he had been holding. Before Manami takes Izuku's hand and pulls him towards the testing hall.
The two end up seated between a guy with a manga word bubble for a head and another boy who has a the head of a raven. The door opens and the pro-hero Present Mic enters. "Alright party people, let me hear you say YEAAAH," as he raises his hand to his ear to listen as Aiba and Izuku cheer him on. "Oooh sends tingles down my spine. Alright Little Listeners, you have one hour to complete the written exam."
Izuku was always very good when it came to school work, however Manami wasn't, but all the time they spent together meant she had a very good study buddy, when she wasn't stopping him every five minutes to be held or kissed. So Izuku had to come up with a reward system to keep her on track, giving kisses for answering the questions right, which failed because he wanted them just as much as she did and usually a half an hour into their study time the pair could be found in each others embrace. But she got B's, which she found acceptable.
Izuku had finished his test quickly, one of the fastest, only just behind Bakugo and a tall boy with blue hair. It was just passed the half way mark when Manami finished and she wiggled in her seat because she wanted to sit in Izuku's lap like she normally did when they were together. She had issues where she disliked her small stature but the fact that she could nestle herself into her boyfriends torso made up for all of it, as she could wrap herself in his strong arms, many times falling asleep while he held her.
The testing wrapped up at the end of the hour and Izuku and Manami watched a few students scribble in a few answers as Present Mic graciously collected theirs last.
"Alright my adoring fans, head on out these doors, and follow the markers to your allotted testing site and we can begin."
The groups began to split along different paths as they headed to the giant doors where their cards indicated. Izuku was relieved to see Bakugo turn off just before the sign for the exam area where Izuku and Manami had been sent to. This lead to him wondering how the testing was assigned because he thought it lucky that he was able to stay with someone he was comfortable around. Then Manami tugged on his sleeve, "Look Midori-Ai, it's O-chan." As she pointed to Ochako who was stretching.
"We should go wish her good luck then," Izuku trying to be friendly, but the both of them were stopped as a tall boy got in theirfaces and accused them of trying to sabotage other contestants, this caused a few other competitors to snicker and discount the nervous boy and short girl.
Present Mic stood on a rickety looking scaffolding, "Alright listeners, you have 15 minutes to score as many points as possible, don't waste time, GO!" he shouted as the doors opened. Nobody moved, "What are you waiting for, you don't get a count down in the real world, move it.:
Izuku and Manami rushed in, him lifting her up so other contestants stopped shoving her around. She pecked him on the cheek, "Thanks." huffing as he set her back down.
"Anytime, so we just destroy some robots?" Manami asked as she saw some scrap, on the ground.
Izuku and her moved down the streets trying to find bots of their own to destroy, when one limped by, Izuku dashed forward and punched it, only to fall to his knees and hold his hand, "Ohh that hurt, why didn't One for All do anything?" as he nursed his sore fist.
Manami crawled up on top of the machine and reprogrammed it so she hand manual control over the robot, "And done, this will help me earn points." as she fiddled with her makeshift controls and piloted the robot as Izuku studied his limbs. "Well All Might did say it would take some time to kick in, kind of wish he gave it to you yesterday at least."
Earlier that morning
"I am very proud that you completed your training, young Midoriya, now is the time for me to pass on One for All to you." All Might stood proud as Izuku tried to take his shirt from his girlfriend who very much did not want him to put it back on.
"So now I need you to, EAT THIS" as he plucked one of his hairs from his head, making Izuku let go and Manami fall to the ground.
"What?" Izuku said.
"Yes, how else did you think I would need to transfer the quirk over?" All Might boasted.
"Not like this, I can tell you that." Manami laughed.
"Don't laugh it was weird." Izuku hid his face in his hands, "I just don't know how it hasn't taken a hold yet."
In the time they were walking Manami had used her hot-wired robot to blast a quite a few robots, earning some points.
"Awwww Yeah, that's the one minute warning contestants, time to kick it into overdrive. All the pointers are powered down for easy pickings, rack up those points." Present Mic's voice carried over from back the entrance.
Izuku began panicking, "I still haven't gotten a point yet, I need to find some robots." Manami looked over at her distressed boyfriend and opened her mouth to comfort him but those words were replaced by some other.
"Holy moly," she pointed up at the skyline. Izuku looked just as a kaiju sized robot crashed through buildings, scattering rubble and debris everywhere. The other contestants ran away from the machine. Obviously recalling the warning from the instructor.
The Zero-pointer, get caught by it and you might as well give up, is what they were told. Izuku slumped his shoulders and resigned himself to his fate before he heard a cry for help. Turning quickly he saw Ochako stuck under a slab of concrete. No one was turning back to help, so Izuku ran in.
Manami watched her boyfriend run towards the huge robot and told him to stop, until he saw what he was running to. And she abandoned her deactivated robot and rushed in after him.
"Help, I'm stuck and I can't use my quirk to lift it," she cried to her two rescuers.
"Alright on the count of three," Izuku squatted down. Manami ready to pull the girl out from under, "One," he braced himself against the large stone. "Two," Manami grabbed the brunettes shoulders. "Three," he lifted the sizable rock up and Manami dragged her out. Ochako tried to stand but fell down.
"My ankle I can't put pressure on in. The Zero Pointer is going to get us." She cried out.
Izuku feeling a deep wellspring of power surging through his body, "Ai-chan, I have it, I can use it now." he shouted.
"That's great sweetie, but that thing is going to get us." she shot back to him.
"Not if I can take it out." He said, remembering the words from All Might, "Clench your buttcheeks and shout Smash."
Manami activated her quirk and gave her love a kiss on the lips, "For good luck," as she watched a pink aura flow over him as red lines raced across his legs, "Go get'em lover boy."
Izuku rocketed up high level with the machine threatening to squash his girlfriend and friend. He pulled his arm back as the force of even doing that shredded his shirt. "SMAAAAAAAAASHHH!" as his fist collided with the robots head, cratering it. While also lifting and sending the robot crashing hundreds of feet away into the back wall of the zone, before it the force of the punch exploded the rooftops of the buildings for three blocks and debris and loose rubble flew around the battlefield like a hurricane had struck. The robot didn't fair much better as hundreds of tons of concrete from the destroyed buildings was flung into it, pummeling it until nothing but shredded metal and wires remained.
The force of Izuku shooting up had him pause in the air, "Wow that's an incredible view, does All Might get to see this every time he jumps, it's almost like I'm flying,"before the sensation of falling took hold and Izuku plummeted to the ground, he yelled as he fell to the ground, before preparing for a signature All Might landing, when he hit the ground, it shook lightly as he stood up tall and proud. The other contestants looking between the devastation he caused and the boy they had dismissed earlier, unsure of what to make of the first instance of a Love Smash.
Manami cheered for her boyfriend and tackled him into tight hug, and kissed him for such an awesome display of power, his power, that he bleed, sweat and suffered to get. "Midori-Ai, that was, absolutely incredible. Who cares if you didn't get any points, that was amazing, the best punch in the world."
"And that's time, good job to everyone who competed, we'll send out results in two weeks. Get some rest, you earned it." Present Mic's loud voice carrying across the field.
As Ochako stood after being treated by Recovery Girl, "No points, but he's so strong," she whispered before running off to find a judge.
Izuku was a little dejected. "I just hope All Might's not disappointed that I didn't get any points," he sighed.
Manami walked hand in hand with Izuku as they made their way back to the train station, "Pssh that big kid's probably going nuts over that punch of yours. How do you feel anyway?"
Izuku stretched his arm and legs, "Pretty sore actually I don't think that would have ended well for me if you didn't use your quirk on me. And I can't rely on you being there for me every time either," he relented.
"Well how did it feel to use it, I mean after ten months of hard labor, it's got to feel like something right?" she asked.
Izuku scratched his chin, "Powerful, but like there's too much to handle in just one spot."
Manami thought, Izuku was great at analyzing other people's quirk and coming up with a strategy but he tended to miss out on what was right underneath his nose. "Maybe, don't do that then?" she offered.
"Don't what?" Izuku was confused at the wording, "Don't use the quirk?"
She playfully poked him in the side, "Don't use it in just one spot, you goof. I mean think about it, All Might when he gets all big isn't just making one part big at a time, they all go, pmph" as she struck his signature pose, getting her boyfriend to laugh at the sight. "Oh not cool enough, well how about this," as she posed with her rump out, "Can All Might do this?" she began waggling her butt at him. Making Izuku laugh even harder.
"Please, don't make me imagine All Might doing that, I wouldn't be able to look at him ever again." he begged between fits of laughter. "But maybe you're right, he doesn't try to use it in one spot, but everywhere, maybe I should try that too. Tomorrow, I need some sleep I'm tired."
"I know baby, I know," as Manami rested her head on his chest.
Author's Notes: Wow that is some positive reception, all because I got a review on another story asking for more.
Well I'm working on chapters this is surprisingly easy, the hardest part so far is that I keep falling back into first person at times, then I have to back and correct it.
Helps speed up the editing though.
So first off, I hope people continue to like this, because it's actually really fun to write, very fluffy.
Second I thought it was stupid how in one night with Gran Torino, Izuku figured out Full Cowl, over a damn Microwave too. Well Manami is there to help and she's actually pretty intelligent able to hack into U.A.'s systems, she's a computer nerd, so I figured out a way for her to get some points, the robots have to be programmed to do something and considering how many there are, must be easy to program and test, so that wouldn't be hard for her to bypass.
As a result she has a different outlook, so I hope people can understand why I went with Izuku discovering Full Cowl before the Hosu arc.
The Love Smash, One For All gives incredible power, but I don't see that it increased his durability all that much or at least it's not proportioned the same, but Aiba's quirk, Love, gives a power boost to the body. Which you would think would make it worse for Izuku but to me, OfA gives him power, but doesn't enhance the body, but Love, enhances the body which in turn makes it more durable along with faster and stronger. So that is just enough to not have OfA shatter his body, though he could still do that if he doesn't have the Love boost.
There is going to be some Bakugo bashing, but not a lot, at least until the Sports Festival which I have written a couple of chapters of that already, I am really excited that to get to that point, oh man I hope you like lemons and one sided beatdowns.
But before that, we need to meet the rest of my potential victims.
