Izuku needed to become a hero. Needed it badly.
If he were any less a person, Izuku would have just let his quirklessness be and simply follow with his dad's...business because really, the man was loaded. Kind of hard not to accept that kind of position when the rewards were just that high.
But...Izuku really wanted to be a hero. Really, really, wanted to be a hero.
So he couldn't follow in his father's footsteps. Not just yet.
Not until he achieved his life-long dream.
"Hey, dad, can you teach me how to fight?"
He was honestly surprised his dad even agreed.
(Tsuna was very proud of Izuku for trying to find his own way, unlike Tsuna who had his future thrusted upon him from the very beginning.
While Izuku was busy planning how he'd get into UA, explaining every step to Tsuna complete with a powerpoint presentation, the mafia boss was busy making a few calls.
Making sure his kid wasn't going to have a run in with anyone with less than stellar intentions until he was ready was Tsuna's top priority.
And if he had to bash a few heads to get the message across...well.
No one had to know.)
