With a crash the zero pointer arrives in the testing area, scaring the examinees and sending them running in all directions. A quite short and plain looking green haired boy merely stands amidst this chaos, desperately looking to gain more points. Suddenly a barely audible cry for help comes from the direction of the robot and the green haired boy is running before he can even process what was happening.
'That girl is in trouble' Izuku thinks as he races towards the girl. 'I can't defeat the robot, but I have to protect her!'
Without hesitation he places himself over the girl, back to the robot, with his best imitation of All Might's grin on his face.
"I-I am here." Izuku says in a soft voice before a giant fist strikes him in the back and knocks him off balance, forcing him onto his hands and knees.
"Please don't get hurt for me." The girl says, voice shaking with worry.
"I'm fine, that didn't even hurt." The boy responds as the giant finishes processing that the boy wasn't turned into pulp and continues it's assault.
Even as the giant's attacks rain down upon him, Izuku's smile never fades.
"I can take hits like this all day." Izuku says with growing confidence. "Unfortunately the road can't."
"What?" the girl asks.
"My hands are sinking." Izuku clarifies.
The girl glances to her left and notices the boy was almost to his elbows in concrete, and was sinking fast. When she turned back she noticed that their faces were getting closer as well.
"We're going to be quite close soon." Izuku says in an attempt at humor.
"My name is Ochako Uraraka, may I know the name of the gentleman about to be quite close to me?" The girl says, clearly attempting to lighten up the situation.
"Izuku Midoriya." Izuku replies as only a few centimeters remain.
Soon enough their noses are touching and a blush grows on their faces. Both are afraid to speak as neither wanted to initiate a lip lock.
But in a stroke of luck, or perhaps bad luck depending on your point of view, time was called before anything more intimate could happen. Though both would remember the feeling of their noses touching for a long time and poor Izuku would remember the touch of a more bouncy part of her anatomy for even longer.
AN: Ah, Mr. Timer cock-blocking again.
This is a snippet of yet another quirk idea from me, which you all know from the title, but I might as well explain here: Honey Badger, Izuku is thick skinned like a Honey Badger and is therefore nearly immune to damage from external sources, explosions, fists, knives or even light firearms are not enough to hurt him and certainly not enough to take him out of a fight. If this were a full length story the first time he would feel pain would be when he is clubbed into the ground repeatedly by the Nomu, and even then Izuku's only response will be excitement from feeling pain for the first time. Inspired by the anime Seton Academy that aired almost 2 years ago, I found a clip of the honey badger getting beaten and this came to me.
