The morning of the Bring-Your-Parent-To-School-Day at Yuuei academy had approached. The sports festival had just shortly concluded and amid the studying and preparing for the end-of-term tests, Aizawa had sprung the announcement on the class, much the same as he had done previously: the physical test at the start of the year, anointing a class president, etc.
As Midoriya left his room, the nameplate on the door banging slightly as the door shut, he looked towards his mother's room.
"Mum? It's almost time to go," He called out to her, getting no response. He waited a minute before speaking again, standing outside of her bedroom. Pushing the door open, he spoke. "Mum?"
"A-achoo!" Sounded from the dark. A lump moved in the dark of the room, the shape sitting up. "I-I'm coming Izuku... Just give me a moment to get up... Achoo!"
"Mum, are you ok?!"
"I'm fine Izuku! Completely fine!"
Inko stumbled from the bed, dressing gown hanging loosely from her shoulders. She stood in front of her son, wiping her nose.
"Mum you definitely don't look fine!" Izuku stated, putting his hand on her forehead, "you're burning up! You need to stay in bed."
"But what about your school? You'll have no one there for you."
"Your health is way more important than me having a parent at school with me." He said. "I'm sure they'd understand if I explain you aren't feeling well. Now go back into bed and I'll make you something to drink."
The two shared a look of determination until Inko sighed in defeat, walking back towards her comfortable bed. Izuku rushed to the kitchen gathering the ingredients to make his mother's favourite tea. Minutes later, the kettle had boiled, tea poured and was on his mother's bedside, soft snores coming from Inko.
He softly smiled as he pulled on his tie, still tied wrong despite his many efforts (and guides followed online. Why were they so awkward to get right?!), and his blazer, buttons tied and ready to go.
"Bye mum, feel better soon." He cooed to her as she turned away from the door.
Midoriya left towards school, severely hoping that it would turn out ok.
Izuku approached the campus and saw it swarming with adults. He saw Uraraka with her dad, who he remembered that ran a small construction company. He saw Iida with his mother, who he knew was a pro hero, as were all the members of his family.
"Izuku! Where's Inko I haven't seen her in a while?" A voice shouted from behind him and he turned to face the familiar sound.
"Hello Ma'am." He called to the woman, who stomped over with Katsuki's ear between her fingers, despite Bakugou's complaints and swearing. "Behave you little shit."
"Don't tell me what to do bitch."
Bakugou's mother clapped behind his other ear, earning a groan from the boy. "I don't want to talk to Deku though..."
"So where is Inko? I was hoping to catch up with her."
"O-oh, mum isn't feeling well. She really wanted to come but I told her it would be best for her to rest."
"Very true, wouldn't want her to get any worse... or spread what she has to everyone else!" She laughed slightly before continuing on her way.
Midoriya sighed before heading to the school entrance again. He saw all the parents of his classmates, smiling a little when he saw a woman with Todoroki rather than Endeavour. He was happy that the boy reconnected with his mother.
"Midoriya, my boy!" A booming voice gestured to him from the school building.
"All Might?"
"Come up to my office for a minute!"
Soon he was in All Might's room, him deflated into his regular form already, coughed up blood wiped away and breath regained.
"Where is your mother? I wanted to meet the woman that raised my successor, and compliment on how good a job she did in raising you."
"Oh All Might, I'm sure she'd love to meet you as well," he said, blushing from the compliment, hands rapidly moving around his face, "uhm... she fell ill."
"Ill?"
"Yeah... she really wanted to come, she really did but she was sneezing all over the place this morning and she was burning up. I couldn't just let her feel worse keeping me company today. I'm sure if I didn't force her to go back to bed she would have dragged herself here."
"She sounds like an amazing woman."
"She is. While I'm a bit sad that she couldn't come, I can deal with that rather than feeling guilty that she was hurting herself just to come to an open day for parents."
They sat in thought for a moment before the school bell rang.
"Um... I'll see you later All Might." He said, waving goodbye to his mentor before rushing to class. As he approached his desk, he got a look at what the parents of his fellow classmates looked like. Many were what he expected to look like, also seemingly to have a similar quirk type to their kids. Mineta's father also having the sticky balls on his head, but far smaller in size and more frequent. Yaoyorozu's mother looked very similar, in fact they were almost identical. This held true for Tsuyu's mother, the frog type quirk definitely being a family thing.
"Deku? Don't you have a parent with you?" Uraraka asked, stepping beside his desk with her father in hand. "Dad, this is Deku, one of my best friends."
"Hello young man."
"Hello sir."
"Ah don't call me sir, that's far too formal."
"Uh ok then Mr. Uraraka," Midoriya chuckled awkwardly, scratching his cheek.
"Oh, Mr. Aizawa is here. I'll introduce you to Iida later, seeya Deku!" Ochako grinned as she went back to her seat, father standing proudly beside his daughter.
"Welcome to Class 1A parents. Before you follow your kids about for their schedule, you might as well introduce yourselves to the rest of the class."
"What order should we go in?" Asked Momo, hand raised.
"I don't care, just do whatever and quickly." He said, wrapping himself up in his sleeping bag once again. The class sweat dropped.
"I suggest we go by seat number, that way there will be no confusion." Iida stated.
"Does that mean I go first? Alright then." Aoyama started, standing up with his dad, who was almost as dazzling as his son.
And so the parent introductions went, many acting in the ways they expected, the occasional surprise popping up along the way.
Todoroki walked up with his mother to the front of the class, a rare smile on his face. The class all shared the same look of surprise. The majority expected Endeavour to show up, to boast about how strong and perfect his son was, especially after his loud announcement during Shouto and Izuku's match at the Sports Festival.
"Ah... this is my mum." He stated simply, holding his mother's wrist. She smiled softly at the small gesture as she waved with her free hand. While she disliking having to stay in the psychiatric ward, it had helped in the recovery from the years of abuse and torment from her 'husband'.
The class greeted her eagerly, showing her kindness to show it would be ok. Midoriya gave Shouto a slight show of a thumb up, showing he was doing OK.
"Uh... yeah..." he said, moving to sit down again, sticking to character as he went back to his seat, smile still there.
The list went on as the many proud parents eagerly joined in with the introductions. Bakugou's mum stood proudly as Kirishima, Sero and Kaminari all snickered at the uncanny similarity between the two.
"Midoriya?"
"Um... about that-"
"Sorry I'm late!" A voice called through the now open door. Izuku looked in wonder as All Might walked in with dark hair, grinning sheepishly, very much like his successor. "I'm Toshinori Y- Midoriya. Yeah, Toshinori Midoriya. Nice to meet you all." He explained standing in front of the class.
Midoriya shakily walked up to beside his mentor, eyes teary.
"Y-Yeah this is my d-dad." He said, feeling strange at calling All Might 'Dad' of all things. He noticed Bakugou's furrowed brows at the sight of his fakedad. 'Crap! He'll know something's up!'
They left the front of the class, sitting down as Izuku held his head, trying to stop tears from falling from his eyes. He couldn't quite explain why but he was so touched by All Might's actions. Toshinori's hand patted his shoulder in comfort.
The class ended as they proceeded to their first lesson. Midoriya held back a little to try speak to Toshinori.
"Why?"
"Why what?"
"Why are you acting as my Dad?"
"Well my boy, I didn't want you to be left out." He answered simply. He couldn't quite put his finger on why he did it himself. When he heard that Izuku's mother couldn't join them that day, he just felt so compelled to help the boy at least have someone with him.
"I actually don't know myself why." He shrugged. "But let's get going. Don't want to get an earful from Present Mic for being late."
Izuku wiped his eyes dry as he realised, grabbing All Might's sleeve lightly and tugging him along to his first class.
The day progressed as normal, a few comments from one parent to another during classes. Lunch steadily approached as they headed to the canteen after another class filled with weird tension. As his teachers spotted a dark hair skeleton like All Might posing as Midoriya's Dad, they all tried to hold back laughter.
They approached the canteen as Uraraka and Iida approached with their parents.
"Deku! This is your dad? Nice to meetcha Mr. Midoriya." Ochako grinned as she held her hand out. All Might took it and shook it.
"Pleasure is all mine Uraraka. But please call me Toshinori. Same goes for you Iida." He said, extending his gesture to Izuku's other best friend.
"Great to meet you Toshinori." Iida stated, him and his mother bowing deeply.
"Deku." Bakugou said from behind him before dragging him off. He waved meekly to his friends and the adults as they sprung into a large conversation.
"What is it Kacchan?"
"If that man is your father, why haven't I or anyone else in my family seen him before?"
Midoriya started to tremble. He could tell from Bakugou's expression the moment All Might came in as 'Toshinori Midoriya' that he knew something was up.
"U-um well... he... uh... hasn't been in the best of health. It's been on and off for years and has had to go to several different hospitals. He's only just gotten home again 'cause the doctors said that his condition got better again."
Bakugou's eyebrow was raised in skepticism but sighed.
"Fine." He stated before walking off to find where his mother disappeared to. Midoriya sighed in relief and headed back to where his 'father' was.
"I-I'm back Dad." He stuttered as he returned.
"Ah my boy! Your friends were just telling me about some of the stuff you've done together."
"R-really?" He asked, looking off to the side as he started blushing.
"Don't worry my boy, there wasn't anything bad. I must say I'm super proud of you." Izuku brightened up once again, smiling wide before he could feel tears again. All Might was proud of him.
"D-don't cry!" He panicked, before trying to console his 'son'.
Uraraka and Tenya shared a look, both thinking the exact same thing. 'They are so alike.'
Todoroki and his mother walked by, chatting between each other catching up after a decade of not speaking to each other. Midoriya looked at them briefly and separated from him.
"Dad... I'll be right back, I just want to speak to Todoroki for a moment."
"Go ahead my boy." He grinned as the dark haired boy trotted off to catch up to his new friend.
"Hey Todoroki, this is your mum right? It's nice to meet your Mrs. Todoroki," He spoke. "My name is Midoriya Izuku."
"Ah, you're the one Shouto faced against in the Sports Festival right? Shouto told me about you." She spoke gently, still seeming a little shy.
"Todoroki is amazing, he will truly be a great hero. And he told me about how kind you were to him even with Endeavour's over zealous training."
"W-wow." She responded, hand over her mouth.
"Yeah, you and Todoroki are really alike. " Kaminari commented in passing by.
"And you're really pretty." Mina added.
Todoroki's mother looked as if she was about to cry from all the positive comments. After all those years of abuse at the hand of Enji, it was a great change hearing compliments.
"M-Mrs Todoroki?! Are you ok?"
"I-I'm fine I'm just so astounded. Shouto you really have great friends." She said, tears flowing from her eyes. "First Momo, then you a-and the rest of his classmates. I'm so glad I was allowed to come."
Todoroki was struggling from bursting into a wide grin. It was nice spending time with his mum and with his friends all liking her as well, not to mention getting compared to his mum rather than to Endeavour. He was so glad.
Midoriya walked home alone, Toshinori accompanying him part of the way out of the campus. He was so happy that All Might acted as his father. He couldn't quite put his finger on it as to why it felt natural after the initial shock to call him Dad, by the end of the day he hadn't even noticed he was calling him Dad. He was pretty sure he was going to accidentally call All Might Dad during class though.
He opened the door to his home and saw Inko sat on the sofa with a blanket wrapped around her and cup of steaming tea in her hands.
"Hey mum, I'm home."
"I-Izuku? How was your day?" She asked, nose clogged.
"It was alright. My friends were upset that they couldn't meet you but I'm sure they'll get another chance soon," he started, deciding it was for the best to not mention All Might. "Kacchan's mum said she misses you and wants to chat."
"Really? I suppose it has been a while. I'll call when I'm better."
"How have you been? I meant to call at some point but I got preoccupied meeting everyone." He said, flushed a little in embarrassment.
"No need to worry, I haven't coughed as much and the sneezing is less frequent. I'll be fine in a day." She smiled slightly before taking a sip of the tea.
Midoriya was off to sleep, phone placed on his bedside table as he was getting changed into his sleepwear. A slight buzz and the screen lighting up drew his attention as he shuffled to it, reading the message in the notifications.
Shouto: 'Thank You'
Though he couldn't hear the words spoken, he just knew the feeling behind them. The weight and reason behind those two simple words.
He tapped a quick reply before turning to his next most recent contact.
Izuku: 'Thanks for everything'
Izuku: 'For training and teaching me, for being my 'dad' today... thank you.'
With that said, he turned his phone off and silently went to sleep.
When the messages pinged in Toshinori's phone, he couldn't help but feel slightly emotional at the boy's words. He had been thanked by many people; mostly from those he had saved, but from others if he happened to be passing by in his hero form.
But somehow, from Midoriya, they felt different, more real, like he meant every word. He felt himself remembering back to when they first met, back to when the boy ran out from the crowd, when he told Midoriya that he could be a hero. Every moment they spent together.
He truly felt proud of his so- he cut himself off from that thought. He was acting as Midoriya's father once. It wasn't happening again.
Weeks passed, Stain was defeated, they went to the training camp and Bakugou was kidnapped. During that time, All Might was especially careful to not appear in his normal form around the school incase any of the students recognised him as All Might... or as Izuku's father.
(He actually hoped that they maybe forgot about it but that was proven wrong when he accidentally went past the boy and his friends.
"Hey there Mr. Midoriya!"
"Hello Toshinori!"
And various other variations of the same line came chirping from the students as Izuku flushed in embarrassment.
"Hey D-Dad, what are you doing here?" He asked nervously, only he knowing full well why All Might was there.
"Uh-oh... um..."
"I'm sure Toshinori has personal reasons for being here so let us go and not bother him."
'Thank you Iida.' Both persons though simultaneously, sighing in relief as they parted ways.)
But that thought didn't occur to him at all over the course of his attempted rescue of his student, his battle with All For One and the reveal of his true form. Honestly he didn't realise how serious the matter was until he saw recaps of the news that night in the hospital, with many of the nurses and doctors asking for autographs and such. That was when he realised that any chance he had at privacy in this form was gone.
And then... floods of panicked texts came in from Izuku.
Izuku: ALL MIGHT
Izuku: HELP ME
Izuku: [Image Sent]
Izuku: ALL MIGHT THEY ARE SPAMMING ME WHATDOIDO
Izuku: THEY ALL THINK YOU ARE MY DAD
Oh... OH... as he looked at the screenshot of his messages, all with similar comments of 'ALL MIGHT IS YOUR DAD?! WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL US?!', he realised how bad the situation was.
Izuku: NOW MY MUM IS WORRIED WHY IM PANICKING WHAT DO I TELL HER?
All Might: um...
All Might: this is an issue
Izuku: An issue doesn't even cover it
Izuku: what do I tell them?
Izuku: they'll figure out that it was all a lie
Izuku: that's it I'll have to disappear off the map
All Might: you don't need to go that far my boy
Izuku: there are only two options left.
Izuku: 1- we say it was a facade at the parent day, and try explain why without revealing OFA
Izuku: or 2- we keep it going that you're my dad. Tell my mum to play along and give us a cover for why our quirks are similar.
All Might: do you actually think it would work?
All Might: more importantly would you be ok with it, would your mother be ok with it? I wouldn't want to you uphold that
Izuku: I'm sure my mum will agree... eventually. I might have to tell her everything though, if that's ok with you. It would only be fair.
All Might didn't respond straight away. He had told the boy about not telling anyone. When the boy 'told' Bakugou about his quirk, he had scolded him slightly. One For All was a secret only kept by the holders... but to be fair he had told Naosama, Nedzu and Recovery Girl.
All Might: Izuku...
Izuku: I'm sorry, I know you said not to tell anyone. It was stupid of me to even suggest it.
All Might: No No...
All Might: I agree that it's the best method towards dealing with this. But I would prefer if I could join you so I can cover any gaps and ask her myself.
Izuku: Really? When's the next time you are free?
All Might: I'll be getting out of the hospital in an hour or so, I could get the paramedics to drop me off at your place.
A curt knock on the front door shocked Inko as she stumbled from her seat to the door, wondering who it would be this late at night. Midoriya popped his head out of his bedroom, somewhat knowing who was calling. The door opened with a creak, Inko recognising the man who was stood there and accidentally slamming the door shut in shock, Inko squeaking, from the appearance from the former number one hero.
"Mum!" Izuku shouted, rushing to the door and opening it to his mentor. "Hello All Might. Are you feeling any better?"
"Much better my boy, thank you." He smiled, although it was somewhat strained. The man coughed and tried to hide the blood that came with it.
"A-A-A-All Mi-Mi-Might," Inko stuttered, flailing around in much a similar fashion to her son, "What are you doing here at o-our home?"
There was a silence between all three members; anticipation, nerves and fear all being felt in that moment. Toshinori had no idea how to answer her question, despite the simplicity of it.
"There is something we need to talk about." He put simply at a lack of words. Concern riddled Inko's face as many different conclusions were drawn about the implications towards that statement. Was her son in trouble? Were the villains attacking again? So many possibilities made her panic as she lead the skeletal man through their home to the living area, turning the TV off to offer no distractions.
"W-What do you w-wish to talk about A-All Might?"
"There is no simple way to put this, and it's a large secret only the smallest amount of people know about."
"W-Why are you telling me this then if it's so big a secret?"
"Because it concerns Izuku."
Whatever response Inko was preparing for, it wasn't that.
"You know how I came home one day saying my quirk suddenly developed, that it was a weird mutation?" Izuku jumped in. His mother nodded. "U-Um... that was a lie. I actually was given my quirk... from All Might."
Inko gasped at the sound of it. Even the idea was preposterous but she knew when her son was lying (even back then but she was so happy for him she overlooked it) and he certainly wasn't right now.
"It was the day the sludge monster attacked Kacchan..." Izuku started, relaying all those events that happened that day all those months ago. Soon he got to the training, the sudden change in daily routine and eating habits made a lot more sense to Inko. And then the entrance exam. "That's the reason I kept breaking my bones. I don't have control over One For All, or at least I have a little now, and because I couldn't handle it my body suffered. It isn't any fault of the teachers at UA, only mine."
Inko was torn over these words. She had no idea how to react.
"I have a question... if I may ask." She said cautiously. "Why tell me this now at all times?"
"There is another part of the story. The parents day at UA a few weeks back. While you were ill, I stood in as Izuku's father."
"What?!"
"I'm sorry, especially without your permission but when I saw how upset your son was that you couldn't go, I felt as if I had to act."
Inko opened her mouth to speak but no words emerged. All this news was shocking.
"None of the students knew who I was, only knowing All Might, the great hero. Not Toshinori Yagi, a civilian." He said, head lowered slightly. "And now the majority of the students believe that I as a hero am the boy's father."
"W-where are you going with this?" Toshinori stood up from his seat, transforming into his hero form and got onto his two knees, forehead presses against the wooden planks.
"I ask for your permission to continue to act as his father to help cover up his quirk and continue to teach him to the fullest of my ability. I believe he will be the next symbol of peace, and as the previous symbol of peace, I ask for your permission," he started, smoke pouring off him as he transformed back into his regular form, shocking Inko once again, "I want to be by his side, walking step by step along the way."
"All Might..." Izuku said, shocked at what his mentor was doing.
"So please, would you allow me to give everything I can to Young Izuku. Even if it costs my life, I will protect and nurture him."
Inko fell to her knees as All Might mentally cursed at himself for saying so much.
"I cannot accept that... you are what Izuku lives for after all. You musn't lay down your life, no matter what. Please go on living... while protecting and nurturing him to the fullest extent possible," she took a deep breath. "If this is something you can promise me, I will not stand against this."
"Mum..." Izuku said, in shock and awe at the scene.
"I promise." All Might swore before raising his head.
"Y-you're already more of a father to him than his biological father... even I can tell from this brief interaction and how he speaks about you." She added softly, tears forming in her eyes. "I-I give you permission."
Izuku, after getting out of his frozen state of confusion, noticed the ever constant buzzing of his phone. After the permission was granted by his mother... he supposed he should tell them the 'truth'. He pulled out his phone, mindlessly noting that Kacchan was the only one not to send a text his way, and clicked on the first contact, Kirishima. He had weirdly been very insistent on texting him and trying to get a reply, despite them not talking as often as he did to some others.
Ejirou: dude is it true? ALL MIGHT IS YOUR DAD?!
Izuku: yeah, All Might is my dad...
Ejirou: BRO! Why didn't you tell us?
Izuku: I didn't want the attention and I want to be treated as my own hero, not as All Might's son, even though he is an awesome dad :D
Ejirou: woah
Ejirou: what a manly answer! I getcha man!
Ejirou: no problem, seeya later at school ma man!
Izuku sighed in relief at how well that went, not-secretly hoping that every other classmate took it a similar way.
The more cheerful lot of the class responded in mix of cheers, shouts and spams of random letters. The more withdrawn members sent simpler messages, more akin to their personality. Momo was very accepting, (even though she made a small comment over why he wasn't on the recommended students entry exam rather than the official one especially since his father was such a top notch hero. He said he wanted it to be fair or something along those lines. She seemed to approve and thusly ending their conversation.)
Todoroki on the other hand seemed to be a mixture of happiness, befuddlement and a small bit of betrayal.
Shouto: if I can ask, why did you deny it at the sports festival?
Izuku: ah, that... I was just trying to keep it a secret, especially if we were being listened to.
Shouto: ... fine. *does a little dance*
Izuku had definitely found that Todoroki was far more expressive than he seemed when he got closer to him, also a tad oblivious (which Izuku sadly admits a fellow classmate had to point out Todoroki's obviousness to him. It simply slipped his mind, despite the notes he had gathered on the ice user.)
The teachers had come by asking about allowance to enter the dorms, and even though Inko still had some objections, after All Might's promise she decided to let him go, even if it would still pain her. He promised to not let her worry about him, that he would be careful.
So when he arrived on campus once again he was swarmed by pupils of the school.
"So you're All Might's son? So cool!"
"Can you get him to give me an autograph?!"
"Why didn't you tell anyone beforehand?"
These weren't members of his class and he had no clue who they were. They were either his upperclassmen or classmates from other departments, which he had little contact with, which he found a little upsetting since they all go to the same school.
"Deku!" Uraraka shouted as she helped him out the crowd. "Are you ok?"
"Y-yeah, just not used to all the attention. I can still feel all their eyes on me."
"Understandable since your father is Mr. All Might." Tenya continued as they walked away from the crowds to the collection of 1-A to head to the new dorm rooms. "Whenever I was with my brother walking about we would get surrounded by people wanting to talk to Ingenium."
They neared the group of students waiting to see their new living quarters, some perking up at the sight of them.
"Hey it's Midori!" Shouted Mina excitedly as her arms waved, gesturing over to him. The other students who hadn't noticed earlier all turned towards him.
"H-hey guys." He said nervously, really hoping no one would bring up-
"So Tsuyu was right earlier on then that your quirks are similar! It makes so much sense now!"
"And then at the USJ why you kept defending him and was the only one to see him after the battle for a while."
"And why you always seemed to get on with him better than some of the other teachers, and fanboyed a lot less when you saw him compared to the others."
Izuku flushed in embarrassment as his hid his face, though the redness had spread to the rest of his body.
"And why his costume used to look so much like his!"
Izuku wanted to disappear, hoping earlier that All Might would let him just vanish off the map. So All Might wasn't the only one who noticed? Oh god...
"Please, lets save all this for later once we are into our new rooms and settled! Mr. Aizawa has been standing there for a while now." Yaoyorozu said, drawing attention, thankfully, away from Midoriya and to the teacher who was waiting for them to shut up.
"Follow me. Hurry it up." He said as he lead his class towards their new dorms, glancing back at the five that had knowingly broke the school rules and law by going to save their classmate.
Several stressful hours, a scolding from Eraserhead, a stupefied Kaminari and unpacking later (while wondering what the suspicious hammering and drilling noise was above him) Izuku joined his classmates in the common area of their dorm. They were casually talking, probably getting used to the idea of now almost constantly seeing each other, even after school hours.
"So, y'know, we were all talking, and we have a suggestion!" Ashido said, bringing the subject up, "Let's have a room showcasing competition! How about it?!"
Midoriya panicked as they all started making their way to his room. They were going to see all of it, he thought. Mindlessly activating probably the equivalent of one percent of One For All, he sped ahead a little to try at least remove some of the posters.
"AAAAAHHH! NONONO, wait just a minute!" He practically screeched through the door, Ochako slamming it open regardless as Midoriya ducked his head in embarrassment.
"It's All Might from top to bottom! Now this is a geek's room if I've ever seen one!" She exclaimed at the sight of it, his other classmates in awe at the sight of so much All Might merchandise. Probably a perk of being his son.
"I really look up to him after all, ... and he's my dad so...," he said, not seeing any of his classmates looks of joy and surprise and amazement. "I'm so embarrassed." He muttered afterwards.
Once he had gotten over his embarrassment, they went on to showcasing the other rooms, excluding a select few who were not participating (or asleep in Bakugou's case, though Izuku could tell that there would be some All Might merchandise in there. The boy was probably as big a fan as he was). Somehow Todoroki had completely converted his room, which explained the hammering from earlier.
And then Tsuyu asked to meet with a few of them, those that went to rescue Bakugou. A heartfelt confession from Tsuyu and apologies from the group led to all of them being exhausted from such a busy day. Izuku almost fell straight asleep.
He was always one to wake up early, and ever since he started training it because a constant to be up to get some work done in the morning before the others woke up. So he came back once concluding his run (and stretches) and saw some other classmates lounging in their pyjamas, struggling to fully awaken.
They waved to him as he sat down and joined Aoyama and Satou, who had made coffee and offered some to him, which he gratefully accepted. At some point the tv was turned on and they casually watched the early morning news. They shared idle chatter until,
"~All Might's Secret Son?" The broadcaster alerted, causing Izuku to spit take. "~ after the reveal of All Might's true form and his retirement as a hero, other news came to light about the hero that we had no clue about."
A photo of Izuku appeared on the TV beside All Might and Izuku froze. The TV? Really? The others there were also frozen, absorbed by the broadcast.
"~ I remember seeing someone around All Might that looks a lot like that boy, it looked like they were training." A woman who was interviewed on the street commented.
"~ Midoriya Izuku is currently a student at UA, where All Might is also teaching currently. We tried to get some information from the boy himself but we weren't able to get onto the campus due to strict ruling, especially after the kidnapping-"
There was silence for a moment while the TV was turned off.
"I-I-I..." That's all that could come out of Izuku, Satou quietly going to make another cup of coffee for him. The door to the dorm opened revealing Aizawa.
"Morning brats." He said, he himself going to get a coffee. "Here's the paper." He said, tossing it towards Midoriya. As he glanced at the front page he knew why the paper came to him.
ALL MIGHT HAS A SON?
Right along with a blown up image of himself and All Might, a sneaky shot of All Might when he was training Izuku at the beach. There were plenty of other stories on the front page but that one took the dead centre. He was done. He would never get his old life back, not even a little bit.
Uraraka walked through at that time yawning and then spotting Izuku, blank faced and staring into space, as if the wall had suddenly become an interesting view.
"Deku?" She asked tentatively. He slowly turned his head to her, paper shaking on his lap. She looked and saw the title. "Oh. Well I'm sure it will turn out ok."
And it did. While he never got the same amount of privacy as before, and whenever he walked around outside the campus he was always gawked at, it had calmed down. He had actually gotten far too used to calling All Might 'dad', even more so than he expected.
There were also surprise reports circling the news showing Toshinori on outings with Izuku and Inko... though on some occasions it was just him and the latter. When ambushed after one of these 'outings' it was revealed these were dates.
"Does this mean that you are his wife?"
"Izuku looks a lot like you, does this mean you are his mother?"
She was flustered, probably more so than Izuku was with all this added attention. In amongst her stutters and answers, a quiet yes was heard. The papers the next morning was surrounded with the most recent gossip of All Might's wife, that had somehow managed to stay out of the media and hero circle. Other heroes said they had no clue themselves.
(An impromptu wedding occurred that night with the fewest number of guests possible, just in case the media went digging to see if they were truly married. Izuku wept tears of joy as he stood beside his mother. Gran Torino bit his lip as to not shed the tears the same as Izuku, standing between the soon-to-be-weds. Naosama grinned as he stood beside Toshinori, acting as his best man.
New photos in the morning showed rings on their fingers.)
All in all, their newly formed, slightly haphazard family was perfect. And who could have thought that a Bring-Your-Parent-To-School day would bring so much joy, not just to one schoolboy, but to many others as well.
...
The paper crumpled under the man's grip, anger swelling from deep inside him. Soon the paper was in flames, spewed from the man's mouth. He was the paper turned black, the title glared into him once more.
ALL MIGHT HAS A SON?
At first the title intrigued him but the moment he looked at the article, who they claimed was his son, he was enraged.
He had to get out of that cell, had to escape this prison, to set things straight with the press and with his own son.

I got the idea from an ask on saisai-chan on tumblr (go check her out, she's amazing)
