Midoriya's POV
I stand watching the waves, as the sun rises, on the beach I had spent all summer cleaning. I check my phone and realize that All Might is late. You'd think that a hero would be more punctual when their student says they need to talk and it was urgent. A couple of minutes pass before All Might finally shows up. He seems on edge for some reason but I just shrug it off and decide to just telling him what I wanted to say.
"I want to tell the faculty or at least Aizawa Sensei about my quirk. The full story, because it's too much stress to work with a quirk at full capacity when I literally just got it. Plus I trust UA with the secret and it's not exactly yours to keep anymore. I know you've told like three people about your quirk so I don't know why you insist on me keeping it from everyone. I get the risk of the information falling into the wrong hands but this quirk is destroying my body because I haven't received real training for it and I'm not ever going to get that training unless they know. Not to say that you're a bad mentor or anything but..."
All Might stares at me in half disbelief. "When did you become so bold Young Midoriya?" He motions for us to sit down on the sand before continuing. "I do think I'm the worst mentor. I have put off explaining everything about this quirk's past. My predecessor never got around to training me because she was killed in action against an old villain known as All for One. This villain is the same guy who left a hole in my stomach. However I believe he is out of the picture now since that battle had left us both fatally injured. The first wielder of One for All was All for One's brother. He was said to be quirkless but he still fought against all that his brother was doing. All for One had the ability to take quirks from others as well as give others quirks and so, naturally, he became the centre of the underground. This of course was hundreds of years ago when quirks had first started to appear. In order to get his brother on his side All for One gave him a power type quirk, however he still chose to fight against him. He wasn't strong enough to beat him but upon receiving a quirk he realized he wasn't actually quirkless but had a quirk that allowed him to pass his quirks on and so he did so hoping that some day the power would become great enough to defeat All for One once and for all."
"My predecessor gave me One for All a few weeks before she tried her hand at fighting All for One. But Shimura lost and had appointed a close friend to make sure I was trained properly to use the power I was given. You probably haven't heard of him but Gran Torino became a teacher at UA for a single year in order to teach me. He was brutal and would leave me vomiting after almost every combat lesson. I guess I've just been sitting more to the sides trying to let you come to know the power yourself because I disliked the harsh way I was taught. Mind you, to me it came naturally even if I was quirkless before."
My brain was trying it's hardest to process all the information that had suddenly splurged out of All Might. I couldn't help but notice that he didn't bring up telling the rest of the faculty at all which is what I wanted to discuss in the first place. It was a bit shocking to here that All Might too had been quirkless but I guess he is quite old so being born quirkless was less rare back then. I definitely didn't know who this Gran Torino was but All Might seemed a little scared of him and he must be ancient now if he taught All Might in high school.
"You had so much time to tell me all about this. Why didn't you?" I ask curious as to why he hadn't brought all of this up sooner. He seemed a little guilty as he said, "I don't like to talk about my predecessor because I feel at fault for her death. I also wasn't sure if you'd not want this power if you knew the entire goal that's been behind is since it first began. Plus I can't be one hundred percent certain that All for One died that day and there will always be a possibility that you'll have to face him someday... without me."
I raise an eyebrow at the last thing he said. Was All Might going to die? Was he searching for a successor because he knew he was going to die just like his predecessor had seemingly done? I couldn't help but tear up a bit at the possibility. "When?" I ask hoping he gets what I mean. "This year sometime." The way All Might sounded so unconcerned with the fact he was going to die struck me deeper than it would to see him have some sort of fight against it. "Do you know how?" He simply nods.
"I will go out in a horrible fight against a powerful villain. I know because my ex sidekick Nighteye could predict the future. One thing's for certain is that his predictions have never been wrong. He told me I would die in 6-7 years after my almost death fighting All for One." I tried my best not to cry.
"Screw whatever this guy says you can't just give up on living because you think you're going to die! I get that you gave your quirk to someone because you think you're almost out of time. It's one thing to say that because you have some sort of incurable disease or something. But if you still have the ability to fight for life than you've gotta try because there are still things worth living for and I'm one of those things. You can't just leave me like your predecessor did!"
A pained smile rested on All Might's face and silver lines his eyes. "You're right. I'm sorry. I'll just try my hardest to live, if not for myself than for you." He embraced me and slowly my tears dried and I felt content. I decided that I didn't need All Might's opinion on the matter; I was going to tell Aizawa Sensei about this quirk because I couldn't help All Might fight against this 'destiny' if I just become another casualty in battle.
Y/n's POV
Trying to fight with a piece of cloth that happens to have metal in it is a lot harder than it seems. Dad uses it so flawlessly and here I am, unable to even get it to wrap around a tree trunk. I'm starting to feel bad for the tree since I've pretty much been whipping it for the past half hour. I groan, frustrated at myself. Maybe this scarf thing isn't for me. My mind goes back to the chains that are part of my costume. Maybe chains can be modified in such a way that I can control that without my quirk. I decide to ask about adding chains into my gauntlets that are able to shoot out to restrain things or grab onto things.
Papa comes up beside me snapping out of my thoughts. "You know the scarf is probably easier to control with your quirk then chains since it's a lot lighter and more flexible." He comments. "That being said chains are a lot cooler and you'd have you're own style instead of copying your dad." I must've been mumbling my ideas out loud since he talked about what I was thinking about. "Thanks for the advice. Now is their any way that I'd be able to avoid a quirk like yours?" Yamada puts his hand on his chin, thinking deeply. He doesn't seem to know an answer so he asks Dad when he comes out with some cups of coffee on a tray. He sets them down before pulling out some ear plugs and putting them in. He then moves towards Yamada and says, "I usually just do this to shut you up." He pulls him into a kiss and I grimace and look away. "Ew gross nobody needs to see that." Afterwards Papa seems pretty shocked but he's quiet for once. Dad comes over to me and pulls out another pair of ear plugs and hands them to me. I notice they are actually pretty high tech and were able to block certain sound waves. So any loud noises would be blocked but not noises that are harmless like normal talking.
I grab my cup off the tray before sitting down and just enjoying the early morning with my family. I hear my phone vibrate on the table so I move to pick it up. It's a text message from Izuku.

I let my parents know that Izuku's coming over soon and probably wants to talk to them about something important. Until he shows up though I asked if I could watch them spar against each other, hoping to see if they had any tricks when fighting each other. Sure I had seen them spar before but let's be honest I just didn't feel like sparring at the moment and it's so much easier to just watch. It also hurts less.
They of course fought without quirks since they didn't want any noise complaints because of how early it is. No gadgets either. Just simple normal sparring. It was quite evident that Dad had a lot more experience compared to Yamada. He didn't leave as many openings which made sense since he is an underground hero and is used to fighting close combat. Aizawa is also a lot more stealthy than Yamada ever could be. Izuku managed to come in and sit beside me without either hero noticing and I simply mouthed 'Watch this'. I pull out of my pocket the ear plugs I had gotten earlier and hand them to Izuku and motion for him to put them on. I then use my quirk to flip over a rock near me. I make a few of the bigger bugs float up and land on Present Mic's back. He didn't have an immediate reaction so I move a few more over before covering my ears and saying, "Papa can't you feel that?" He looks over to me confused before looking down to see the critters scurrying on his shirt almost reaching his skin. He screams really loudly "GET THEM OFF! GET THEM OFF!"
I couldn't help but notice that both Dad and Izuku were unaffected by the screaming and I could just see the amusement in their eyes as they watch Yamada scream without being able to hear it at all. Dad did however gives me a glare knowing that Yamada would been complaining about this for the next week. Eventually all the bugs were shaken off and the screaming stopped and Izuku was on the verge of laughter. "Who would've thought that Present Mic has such a lame weakness?" He says to himself as he takes out the ear plugs and hands them to me. I quickly put them in as Papa comes up and shakes my shoulders complaining loud enough that I can't hear him. Eventually Dad comes over and pulls him off of me even through I was basically unresponsive towards Yamada. I bet if I were to start crying right now all the yelling would stop and Papa would be the one apologizing. Unfortunately I didn't feel like losing my dignity today, at least not this early.
I shift my attention over to Izuku who, seemingly out of nowhere, got his notebook and was writing down his new found weakness for Present Mic. "Are you gonna tell them about your quirk now that you're here?" I ask loud enough to catch the attention of the two heroes who were bickering. They look over with confused faces before Aizawa says, "What about Midoriya's quirk?"
