"Hisashi, you need to put on a tie for this dinner."

All For One grimaced. This had started when All For One and Inko were preparing for an important dinner occasion. As usual he had been unable to tie his tie, but this was never a problem in the past, he would usually just forego it. Unfortunately, this time Inko wasn't having it.

"But Inko no one would really mind- "

She folded her arms. "Hisashi you read the invitation. It said to wear a suit and tie. It would be rude to not wear one and we are not rude, so you are wearing that tie."

"But Inko- "

"No buts."

All For One sighed. "Fine Inko, I'll tie it myself. But are you sure the babysitter will be good enough to care for Izuku? Maybe I should- "

Inko glared at him, "Honey, go put on that tie now."

"…Yes dear."

He had struggled valiantly, but it ended up all bunched up at one end. Inko said that it would have looked adorable on someone like Izuku, but it looked all wrong for him who she described as "more handsome than cute."

"Perhaps I will need to do the unthinkable, something I once believed I would rather face death than to use," he said before shuddering, "a clip-on."

Inko walked over to him. "Hisashi Midoriya you are not wearing a clip-on! Give that to me, I'll tie it."

"Inko it's a very complicated process, you can't just do it within a few-oh." He said as she finished. "Well that's just unfair."

Inko smirked. "Masaru once asked me for help tying one for a date with Mitsuki. I also know how to do a bowtie because of him."

"Well you certainly didn't learn knot tying from her…"

"Hisashi be nice. Mitsuki did teach me plenty about first aid and bandaging. And how to tie a noose. It was Halloween and she needed it for her costume"

"I could have taught you that…" All For One muttered.

Inko blinked up at him. "What was that?"

"Nothing dear."

"I wish you wouldn't feel the need to criticize Mitsuki every time she comes up. Oh well, we should get going," she said before walking away. All For One breathed a sigh of relief.

The dinner went well. All the usual greetings, small talk, speeches that he occasionally was interested in but usually just pretended to be. Mercifully it came to an end and he and Inko walked out.

He pulled out his phone and called her ride. "Inko you should go home. I have some work to do. I might be out late."

Inko looked at him disapprovingly, "Again? Hisashi you really need to stop working so hard."

"I know, I know. Don't worry Inko. I probably won't be out too late this time. I just wanted you to be prepared for that eventuality."

She sighed. "Fine, but you better actually be working and not just using this as an opportunity to go drinking with friends or something!" she said pointing a finger at him.

He raised his arms in front of him. "Inko you know I wouldn't do that. I could just tell you if it was something as innocent as that. I promise it really is work." He leaned over and kissed her on the cheek.

That seemed to placate his usually meek but occasionally terrifying wife. "Ok, but if you're going to be out late please call me."

"You have my word." All For One said. They both waved at each other before he turned and walked away. He went around a corner and into an alley and activated Shadow Stealth. He considered removing his tie, but decided that would not be necessary. His quarry was not powerful enough to use it against him. Should his target try to strangle him with it, he could just as easily tear it off. He came to the edge of an alley several blocks away, made sure there were no cameras as planned, and waited for his prey.

"Another long day on the job. A few criminals arrested, some interrogations, plenty of confessions and new leads. And paperwork to do. Oh well, just another part of the life of a-"

"Pro Hero Veritas," a voice said. The hairs on Veritas' neck stood up, he felt goosebumps on his arms and neck. A man in a dark suit melted out of the shadows from the alleyway next to Veritas. If one wasn't paying attention it would look no different from any other person stepping out of the shadows, until one looked past the parts in the light and saw that the parts still in shadow were invisible, as if nothing was there at all. A stealth quirk. "Quirk: Veritas", the man continued, "Causes people to only tell the truth, and compels them to speak. Rumors of you having relatives in the Yakuza also persist. Is that correct?"

Veritas glared at him. Dark suit (the tie was odd though), curly white hair, evil eyes, absolutely terrifying. That could only mean one thing. "All For One." Seems that those investigations with All Might had attracted his attention after all. What a compliment. Veritas activated his quirk. "Let me guess, given that I'm still alive, you're here to take my quirk first before killing me?"

All For One smiled, "But of course. It is such a useful quirk for finding moles and traitors in my midst. I couldn't not take it. But don't feel too bad. I would have killed you anyway for your progress against my organization. Taking your quirk is just another positive to that. Two birds with one stone if you will. Though I will need to test the quirk first. You have gotten so much better at hiding your investigation's findings from my moles. Perhaps I could ask you?" Veritas was so glad All For One was such a windbag. Otherwise he might notice the quirk compelling him to speak. Or would he be saying all of this without the quirk?

Veritas smirked, "So why the tie? Is taking my quirk and getting all of this valuable information such an important occasion that you decided to dress up?"

"No, my wife tied it for me."

All For One's eyes went wide and he froze, his cheeks slightly red. He stared at Veritas.

Veritas stared back.

…

…

"Seriously?" Veritas said, "You're the immortal Symbol of Evil and you can't tie your own tie? That is so sad…"

Using a half-baked combination of multiple quirks, All For One flusterdly obliterated the man (and several blocks of street behind him). Then he went to check the body. Then unleashed another combination of quirks to destroy that so there was no chance he was alive.

It's the only way to be sure.

Once he had made sure Veritas was dead and would take that…revelation to his grave, All For One quickly fled the scene.

Once he was safely away and made sure he didn't have anything incriminating like blood on his clothes, he breathed a sigh of relief and began confidently walking home. He'd successfully protected his secrets, dignity and-

Wait a minute! I forgot to take his quirk!

All For One stopped.

"SON OF A-"
