It took several minutes to get Bakugou caught up on the whole situation.

"Soo. Is this, like, a well-known thing?"

"Not in the slightest. In fact aside from a handful of close friends you two are the only ones that know."

"Wow. You kinda suck at keeping this a secret." Bakugou said, unamused.

All Might simply coughed a bit of blood in way of a response.

"Anyways, what did you want to tell Izuku?"

"Um. Are you sure I can't convince you to leave?"

"Not a chance," Bakugou said, crossing his arms.

All Might sighed. "Well, in that case, let me tell you two about a little thing called One For All…"

"And you want ME to inherit this quirk?!"

"That is the plan, yes."

"I- Are you sure you want to do this? I told you, my quirk is really not suited for being a hero. And I mean, you don't really know me that well. We only had like one conversation and it was kinda rushed. Almost like the whole conversation was being written by an author who just really wanted to get to the next scene and was banking on the fact that most of the readers knew the extent of the situation already..."

This is in fact exactly what happened, however, Bakugou and All Might chose to ignore this insight as neither of them had a good grasp on the concept of the fourth wall.

"He'll do it." Bakugou interrupted the insistent mutterings.

Midoriya snapped out of his mutter trance to elbow Bakugou. "Hey! That's not exactly your choice to make!"

"You better take it. This on top of your shitty quirk will guarantee that you'll make it into the hero course." Bakugou pounded a fist into his hand. "Then when I beat you I'll prove to everyone that I'm the best!"

"Ah, of course, you have an ulterior motive." Midoriya rolled his eyes.

All Might coughed. "He does have a valid point, what do you say?"

"UM. YES. Of course! This- this is like a dream come true, I'd love to take on your quirk- if you're sure about this that is."

"Believe me when I say that I think you will be perfect."

"...still not totally sure why you think so…" Midoriya muttered.

All Might ignored him. "You will, however, have to train your body to be able to take the strength that comes with One For All. If you don't then your limbs could potentially explode!" He chuckled. "You can see how that would be a problem I'm sure."

Now had All Might fully understood Midoriya's quirk he would have realized that this was actually NOT much of a problem. The two boys had made this connection and did not laugh at the joke.

"You didn't tell him?!" Bakugou glared at Midoriya who in turn threw his hands in the air.

"Well, I didn't know he was going to make me his freaking successor! It's always been a secret, why would I tell him?!"

"I dunno, cuz he's your idol?! You have to tell him now!"

"Shut up! I was going to!"

"Um." All Might seemed at a loss for words. "What?"

"We need a minute," Bakugou said with finality as he grabbed Midoriya's wrist and dragged him a few paces away.

"Hey!" Midoriya shouted.

"So let me get this straight." Bakugou hissed, his back to All Might. "Some guy who claims to be All Might is offering to make you his successor on the basis that you're more suicidal than pig taunting a tiger-"

"The heck is that analogy."

"SHUT UP. The point stands!"

"Well I'm fairly certain he IS All Might, I don't know many other people who can make it rain from a single punch."

"He could be, like, a shapeshifter pretending to be All Might, and the real All Might is still with the reporters or something."

Midoriya simply stared at Bakugou in response.

"... or something like that." Bakugou finished lamely.

"Okay, so I seriously doubt that's the case-"

"Well, the only other option is that the number one fucking hero wants to give you his quirk! YOU! So sorry if I find it hard to believe that anyone would want you as a student." He crossed his arms.

"I don't understand! You seemed really eager for me to get his quirk a few minutes ago."

"Yeah well, that was before I learned that he didn't know about your quirk, cuz that means he looked at you recklessly throwing yourself into dangerous situations and thought, 'Hmm. This kid would make a GREAT successor.' And that's just stupid!"

Midoriya opened his mouth to argue. Midoriya closed it and thought about Bakugou's words. "Point."

" 'sides, he said it makes you explode? C'mon Izuku, do you really need more ways to break yourself?"

"Like you're one to talk Mr. Explodo."

Bakugou rolled his eyes. "Regardless. You are going to tell him?"

"Yeah. But first," Midoriya looked at Bakugou, all humor gone from his face. "Do you really think I should do this?"

"You fucking BETTER. This is the chance of a lifetime nerd."

Midoriya smiled.

"And you're going to need all the help you can get if you keep getting into trouble."

"You sound like my mother," Midoriya grumbled. "And I don't get into that much trouble."

"We both know that's a major lie." Bakugou turned around and walked back to All Might, Midoriya followed suit.

"Alright junkie, tell him."

Midoriya took a deep breath. "All Might, I have something I need to tell you."

"Okay?"

"So. My quirk. Um. It's weird? I'm not totally sure how to explain this?"

Bakugou growled. "Just show him, idiot!"

"Show me what?" All Might questioned, growing more confused by the second.

"I can't do that!"

"Why the hell not?"

"Cuz it's-" Midoriya struggled to explain himself. "It's disturbing!"

Bakugou rolled his eyes. "Get over it. You'll have to show him at some point if you take him up on his offer."

"FINE." Midoriya slung his bag off his shoulder and pointed at Bakugou. "But YOU'RE gonna have to explain it to him."

"I don't understand? What are you doing, Midoriya?" All Might questioned.

You see All Might was used to being at least a little confused most of the time. This was because for all extents and purposes he was not the brightest bulb on the Christmas tree and as such rarely understood what was happening. Mostly he just waited for people to scream and then punched stuff. Somehow this method had ended up working out pretty good for him thus far and even resulted in him becoming the number 1 hero. However, this situation had him more confused than ever. Sure, he had chosen a successor on the basis that Midoriya seemed to be hero material, a conclusion he had come to upon seeing the boy throw himself into a very dangerous situation, but the two boys were making him feel incredibly out of the loop.

"Sorry for lying to you All Might, but THIS is my quirk." And with that Midoriya took a deep breath before running the short length of the roof and jumping.

To elaborate, he quite literally swan dived off the roof headfirst in an impressive display of athleticism and a complete disregard for personal safety.

All Might for his part stood completely still, refusing to believe that anyone was that, well, suicidal. He quite honestly believed that Midoriya was going to fly or demonstrate something equally epic as his true quirk. Don't blame him for thinking so, he had very little context for the situation, and as such the boy flying seemed reasonable enough.

As it was, Midoriya did NOT fly, instead, he fell the length of the building and landed with a grotesque squelch on the pavement.

"That BASTARD." Bakugou glared angrily at the edge.

All Might's jaw moved up and down but no noise came out.

Bakugou turned to the man. "Um. All Might sir? So, don't panic but-"

"Is- is he dead?"

"Well," Bakugou seemed to be a bit panicky himself, "I mean, kinda? He'll be fine! But-"

"He's dead."

"Uhh, yeah. He's dead. But-"

"Shit." All Might then turned and ran.

Now while one might reasonably assume that All Might was running away from the entire situation he was actually not. This is because All Might was a hero and as such it was in his nature to go check on Midoirya. However, Bakugou was unaware of this kind of thinking and was actually panicking as he was afraid the number one hero was about to simply see himself out without an explanation.

"WaitAllMightYouDon'tUnderstand-" Bakugou chased after the hero.
