"Venus, if you don't remember" it was hard to forget someone with such a unique appearance " no, no I remember"
"Shinsou san will you allow me to read your fortune" the purple haired boy was surprised when the foreigner he had shared a simple sentence, with had barrelled through the corridor to get his attention, he had seen her occasionally walk into the 1-A classroom and assumed she would want nothing to do with him, but there she was holding a pack of cards in her hand "I was on my way to class" he held his small packaged bento as she looked down at his hands "I've already eaten , but do you mind if I join you" to say his attempt at making friends was successful would be a lie
He was the same reserved boy who sat at the back of the classroom and avoided communication with others, his tired expression warding people off, he hoped that the two of them would cross paths again and here she was giving him a chance "s-sure"
Venus and Shinsou had entered his partially empty classroom, most of the students opting to eat lunch in the canteen with their newly acquired friends "so, what's with this card reading" she beamed her golden eyes practically sparkling "well it's me reading your future, predicting your fortune don't worry just a parlour trick" the boy had just noticed the absence of her blindfold and with that there was another persona one who radiated light rather than the anxious girl he had met during the entrance exams
His eyes darted from the gold piercing under her lip to the one placed on the centre of her tongue which he occasionally stole glances at whenever she spoke, he couldn't deny that without the fabric she was far more beautiful and little did Venus know she'd bring a certain light into his life
"you're in the general department"
"yeah" he eyed her "guess my quirk wasn't suitable for the hero department" she leaned back in her seat "what is your quirk" he rubbed his neck "mind control" Shinsou prepared for a sudden mood change or an out burst of some sort, but all she did was smile "really, like mind control, like have Todoroki throw it back for me with no questions, mind control"
"yeah I guess" narrowing his eyes at the strange statement
"Believe me the way they put us into classes had to be a blind guess because there is this slimy kid named mineta and I'm still questioning how he got in and there is another with a tail, but he's a nice guy, your quirk is like Aizawa sensei's" he perked up "Erasure head really. .you don't think I'd be some villain"
"what of course not, my quirk is literally called Voodoo, I had solid black eyes for a while and if you hadn't noticed" Fantomé stretched her long body across the table smiling up and Shinsou " my shadow is alive. .your quirk is pretty useful, can you fight" his eyes lingered on the entity before he shook his head tearing his gaze away, before rubbing his neck once more, scoffing at the habit "I'm decent, nothing to marvel at" he chuckled "well then that's what you need, Aizawa sensei would he useless if he didn't have that scarf or the combat skills. .respectfully of course, I personally can't take him seriously, in fact you're both similar"
"except it's actually legal for me to simp for you" Venus had to be honest, 'he was cute, though he was a bit pale and kind of looked like beetle juice, he had that aura that screamed, I'd choke you if you asked nicely'
Shinsou was taken aback, people didn't really like him in middle school, but that was just the world of quirks, if you didn't have a quirk you were deemed as worthless, if you did and it was weak you weren't good enough and if it was something sinister you were already a villain and not to have someone who didn't care about those factors show interest in him was strange
"so Shinsou will you let me read your future" the dark haired girl extended her hand as he placed his own in her palm, somewhat intrigued, if this was how her quirk worked
"You don't even want to ask how my quirk works" the purple haired boy spoke not buying this act of kindness, "mind control right, isn't it that straightforward"
"If I asked. .no commanded you to kiss me right now you'd have no choice" Venus narrowed her eyes, searching his own to see if he was serious "guess I'd just have to ask you where, you'd want that kiss exactly" 'chillay where is this confidence appearing, manifesting, conjuring from. .my my'
"Are you serious, I'm not a good person"
"Hey, and I'm serious why do you keep trying to make yourself out to be the bad guy, if I thought you were some villain I'd have ignored you when you walked past"
"I just think you've been hurt and there's nothing wrong with being hurt, you just need to embrace the healing process eventually"
" m-mind control, that's kind of scary"
"don't talk to him he might make you do weird stuff. ."
"there's no way you can become a hero"
"that's a villain's quirk"
"I'm sorry if I couldn't give you some whole speech on why you should become a hero regardless. .I'm not good at those things" she fiddled with the piercing under her lips as she skilfully shuffled the cards with one hand
"n-no it's cool, so a card reading"
