"Someone's at the door." Hayato said as he, Izuku, and Inko all sat eating their lunch before hearing a knock at the door. He stood up to go answer it and was met with his skeletal-like predecessor dressed wearing a suit with his arm still in a cast. "All Might?"

"Hello Young Kiryuu, is Young Midoriya home by any chance?"

"Yeah, come in." Hayato said leading the man inside as the two Midoriyas walked into the hallway and began to shake from excitement.

'All Might is in our home!' The two thought as they led the man to their dining table and he sat down with Hayato next to him with the mother and son sitting across from them.

"Sorry for the intrusion, but I'm sure you got the notice about U.A's new dorm system." Toshinori said earning a nod from Inko.

"Yes."

"I'd like to talk to you about it, and see if you're for Young Midoriya to be a part of it." Toshinori said before noticing Hayato was raising his hand. "Young Kiryuu?"

"Before you continue, did my grandpa agree with it?"

"Gran Torino is your legal guardian thus he was the one we had to contact about it. When I called him he said that if it's your best option to continue your studies and hero training: then he has no reason not to say yes." Toshinori said earning a nod from Hayato who secretly cursed his grandfather in his mind.

'So he disappears to investigate the League and I don't get a say in this...thanks old man.'

"So, Mrs. Midoriya...what do you say about it?"

"Well...I'd like to know first: would me declining his participation mean he would no longer be a student at U.A?" Inko said shocking both Izuku and Hayato.

"Of course not...but we see it as the safer choice so that we can always keep an eye on the students should anything happen in the future." Toshinori explained making Inko nod and think for a moment.

"My son...no, my SONS, are the world to my husband and I. Ever since they joined U.A...I just keep seeing Izuku and Hayato injured constantly. Their first day of school: Izuku came home with an injured finger. That villain attack on campus and Izuku wound up breaking his arms. I watched my sons beat each other until one of them passed out from exhaustion for the whole world to watch...and then I saw Izuku end up the same way against that boy with the scar on his eye at your Sports Festival. They were both attacked by the Hero Killer and Speed Hunter and both of them wound up with stitches and bandages everywhere on their body. They went to I-Island and they took on a group of villains while you were taking on their leader. I let them go to that camp and one of them wound up with both of his arms horribly broken and falling in and out of a small coma while the other one was in a coma from exhaustion and poisoning from a gas attack." Inko explained while both boys relived each moment she talked to Toshinori about, while the man could only sit there stoically as he listened to her. "All their lives they looked up to you...I saw your fight the other day and as a citizen: I'm grateful for what you did. But as a mother, I was afraid. Afraid that if they continue on this path: that one day I'll find them on TV in the same kind of life or death battle like you were...and not have the same result that you did. I might not have the say in this for Hayato like I wish I did...but it's not the same for Izuku. Tell me All Might, if you were a parent: would you entrust your child to a school that's only been putting him in danger?"

"Truthfully-"

"But I can only have that one track mind if I only see the bad in what my sons have achieved since he started there. They're in the top ten of their class, Izuku came in third at the festival, they both survived against two of the most dangerous villains in the world, they saved an entire island from a group of villains, they helped save their classmates from a dangerous villain attack. Even their new friends have been a blessing, and those girlfriends of theirs are wonderful and perfect for them." Inko said making the two blush from embarrassment, stunned by how the conversation suddenly flipped. "I'm proud of them, and even if my heart breaks each time I see them in those situations: I know that something good came from it. I could try sending Izuku to a different school if it meant he would be safer, but it wouldn't be the same for him. Separating the two of them would only stunt their growth, and I could never tear these two apart after everything Hayato has done for Izuku and vice versa. After giving it some thought after I read that notice...I agreed with my husband: U.A. is the best place for Izuku and Hayato right now."

"Mom..."

"Inko..."

"But...I'd like to hear it from you. You teach them and you should know how much they look up to you, tell me: are they on the path of becoming heroes?"

"Mrs. Midoriya." Toshinori stood up from his seat and momentarily inflated into his muscle form, surprising the three. "Young Izuku and Young Hayato are two of the finest young men I have ever met. When I see them: I see future heroes. I see heroes that will one day bring hope to those around them, even more than I did. But most importantly: I see my successors as the Symbols of Peace and Justice. However, my path to where I am today was stained with blood and the losses I faced as time went on." He then deflated surprising the three once more before bowing to the woman sitting in front of him. "That's why I promise to personally watch over them myself if you agree to let Young Izuku stay with Young Hayato, so that I may stop them from walking the same path that I did. So that I may teach them in and out of the classroom, and reprimand them when they put themselves into dangers they're not ready for. I will give watching over their growth my all, even if it costs me my life. This is my promise to you as a teacher of U.A., as the former Symbol of Peace, and as someone who cares for these young men as if they were my own children as well." Toshinori finished and the two boys could only look at the adults next to them in shock as they sat ready to hear Inko's response.

"If you can keep that promise so I don't have to worry, then I'll agree." Inko said feeling her pride and joy show itself in the form of tears streaming down her face.

"I give you my word."

"Izuku...Hayato..." Inko said standing up and the two looked at her, gulping as they both felt as if something was caught in their throats. "Both of you are going to live at U.A. now, promise me that you'll try your hardest and try not to make me and Hisashi worry about you two."

"I promise..." Both boys whispered as she turned to smile at them and wiped her tears. She nodded and turned to Toshinori who stood up straight and smiled at her.

"All Might, please take care of my boys."

"Is that everything?" Inko asked as she walked into Izuku and Hayato's room to see the room that filled with All Might merchandise and a mess from having two heroes-in-training living in it not even a day ago, was now bare. It had been three days since their emotional meeting with Toshinori about the new dorm system and the building they were going to be living in was finished the night before, and that morning: the movers hired by U.A. arrived and took everything they had packed away to their new home.

"Besides what they took? Yeah." Hayato said as he and Izuku stood in the room, dressed as if they were headed to class.

"I didn't expect it to be so soon." Izuku admitted before Inko walked over and pulled the boys in for a hug. "Mom?"

"Inko?"

"I love you both so much, don't forget that." Inko said making the two nod and return the hug. "Call me when you arrive and when you're done packing, and let Hisashi know too. Izuku, remember to work hard and be safe. Hayato, try to finish your work on time and keep in contact with your family."

"I promise." Izuku said nodding again.

"Ehhhh, no promises." Hayato shrugged only to be met with a playful tap to the back of his head. "Thank you for watching over me all this time."

"I always will." Inko said planting a kiss on both of their heads. She broke their hug and placed her hands on their shoulder before giving them a proud smile. "Now get a move on. You don't wanna keep your friends waiting."

"For now, I'm glad that we were able to bring Class 1-A back together again." Aizawa said greeting his class as they all stood in front of Heights Alliance, the H-shaped dormitory that Class 1-A would call home starting that day.

"Yeah, lucky everyone got permission to enter the dorms right?" Hanta asked earning a nod from everyone.

"I was surprised too. But I'm sure everyone has different circumstances." Aizawa said scratching the top of his head.

"My dumb grandpa said yeah before even talking to me about it." Hayato grumbled as he stood next to Izuku who couldn't help but chuckle.

"Now, I'll explain briefly about the dorms but first: for now we're going to focus on getting the provisional licenses we were planning to have you get during the training camp. We're going to finish the training we were having you do for that once you all finish settling in. So come, it's time to go inside." Aizawa said as he turned around and walked up to the building's entrance. He opened the door and led the class inside into the large common area. "Each student dorm building holds one class. Girls on the right, and boys on the left. But here on the first floor is the common area. Food, baths, and laundry are all here." Aizawa explained as his students looked around at the room around them.

"There's even a courtyard!"

"So spacious! So clean! And there's even a sofa!" Mina yelled as she ran around admiring the common area.

"It's like a mansion!" Ochaco yelled before passing out into her boyfriend's arms from awe.

"Ochaco?!"

"Mr. Aizawa, you just said the baths and laundry are here right?" Hayato asked earning a nod from his teacher. "Are they separated too or do we have to follow a schedule?"

"They're separated by gender, don't worry." Aizawa said before getting everyone's attention again. "Rooms start on the second floor. There are four rooms per gender on each floor with five floors total. Everyone gets their own room. They're luxurious spaces equipped with their own AC, toilets, fridges, and closets." Aizawa explained as he took the class upstairs and to the first room they found.

"There's even a balcony!" Izuku yelled as he stood on the balcony with Denki behind him.

"That's awesome!"

"This is about the same size as the closets we have at home." Momo noted looking around at the room before seeing Hayato who stood looking at Izuku on the balcony. 'Is he avoiding me...?'

"It's like a mansion!" Ochaco yelled as she passed out once more, this time caught by Hayato who noticed it at the last moment.

"Ochaco?!"

"These are your rooms." Aizawa said taking out a paper and handing it to Tenya who read the floor plan out loud.

"The second floor rooms will only be Kiryuu, Midoriya, Tokoyami, and Aoyama. The third floor will have for the boys: Koda, Kaminari, myself. and Ojiro. And the girls on the floor with us will be Jiro and Hagakure. The fourth floor for the boys will be: Shinso, Todoroki and Sero. And for the girls: it will be Yaoyorozu and Asui. And finally for the fifth floor, for the boys it will be: Shoji, Kirishima, and Bakugo. And for the girls: it will be Uraraka and Ashido." Tenya said while Denki and Eijiro began to tease Hayato and Izuku.

"Looks like they separated you two from your girls." Denki chuckled before being met with an elbow to his stomach from Hayato.

"At least this way we won't have any hero babies soon." Eijrio whispered making Izuku blush violently on the brink of joining his girlfriend as well.

"The belongings you sent ahead have already been placed in your rooms, so unpack and get settled in today. That's all. Dismissed!"

"Yes, Mr. Aizawa!"

"Man, I'm tired." Eijiro sighed as he sat down on one of the sofas in the common area.

"You done unpacking, Kirishima?" Hanta asked earning a nod from the red-haired boy.

"Yeah, finally."

"Good work." Izuku said before turning his attention to Denki who sat next to him.

"How things ended up this way wasn't great, but it's exciting to live together, huh?" Denki asked earning a nod from the green-haired boy.

"Yup!"

"Living together...this is also training to help us learn cooperation and discipline!" Tenya yelled excitedly moving his arms around.

"You really gotta learn to slow down pal." Hayato chuckled as he patted the speedster's back and jumped over to sit next to Eijiro.

"Funny to hear that come from YOUR mouth." Eijiro said before the two of them burst into laughter.

"Boys, are you all done with your rooms?" Mina called out making the boys in the room turn to see her, Kyoka, Toru, Momo, and Ochaco all walk towards them from the elevator.

"Yup. Just relaxing now." Denki said raising his hand to greet her.

"Well, the girls were all just talking now..." Mina began before turning to Toru who looked like she was raising her arms.

"...and we have an idea!"

"Uh oh." Eijiro and Hayato whispered as they got ready to run away.

"Want to have a room presentation contest?" Mina asked making Izuku and Fumikage all freeze from shock.

"No, no, wait!" Izuku cried out as Ochaco opened the door to his room and his classmates, except for a few, all walked in with Hayato holding him back.

"It's filled with All Might!" Mina yelled pointing out the posters, photos, and figures of All Might displayed across the room. Izuku lowered his head from embarrassment while Ochaco and Hayato could only laugh awkwardly.

"It's really an otaku's room...the way he had it at his house was even worse." Ochaco noted making Izuku blush.

"It's because I admire him so much...this is so embarrassing!"

"Your admiration made sleepovers creepy for me! Even after I moved in I could barely sleep without feeling like this guy was watching me sleep!" Hayato yelled letting go of Izuku and pointing at one of the posters of All Might and his signature smile.

"Next is Tokoyami's room!" Mina yelled as the group exited Izuku's room, which he quickly shut and locked behind him, before they made their way to the door next door to his.

"This is pointless." Fumikage said leaning on his door. Mina and Toru walked over and tried pushing him away, which he tried resisting, before ultimately falling to the ground and the girls ran inside his room.

"So dark and scary!" The two yelled seeing the black lights illuminating the room and showing the gothic decorations he had around the room.

"How dare you..." Fumikage growled as he began to shake from embarrassment and anger.

"Oh cool! I had this keychain in middle school!" Eijiro yelled picking up a cross with the skull in the middle.

"Get out."

"A sword?! This is so cool!" Izuku yelled noticing the sword Fumikage kept in the corner of his room.

"Get out!" Fumikage yelled making Hayato use his Quirk and quickly pull everyone out from the room.

"Kiryuu?! Why'd you do that?!" Mina yelled puffing her cheeks while Hayato simply pointed to Fumikage who slammed his door shut behind him.

"I dunno about you but I don't want Dark Shadow tearing this place apart day one so let's just move onto Aoyama's room." Hayato said before Yuga quickly led the group to his room. He opened the door and the group of students covered their eyes to block the light shining in their faces once he opened the door. "Damn!"

"So bright!" The group yelled seeing the mirrors, bedazzled knight's armor, disco ball, and glitter filled sheets he had around the room.

"Non non, not bright. Da-zz-ling." Yuga said while his classmates began to walk away from his room.

"It's exactly how I thought it would be." Toru said making Mina nod in agreement.

"It fit my expectations."

"This is exciting! The only person left on the second floor is Hayato!" Ochaco yelled pointing to the room down the hall while Izuku and Hayato left Yuga's room.

"Well...this was bound to happen." Hayato shrugged leading the class to his room and opening the door. He rubbed the back of his head as his classmates walked in and looked around at the plain room he had. "I don't have much, so don't be surprised if this is just basic."

"Not if I show them this!" Izuku yelled running over to Hayato's desk and pulling out a box from underneath. He placed it on the desk and opened it, revealing a very expensive-looking camera from it.

"Oh."

"Hayato you're a photographer?!" Mina yelled excitedly taking the camera from Izuku's hands and admiring it.

"Ever since we started school, I haven't had a chance to take some photos and I even forgot to take it to I-Island. But I just dabble with it, honestly. I'd say I'm below average!"

"No he isn't. Just look at the photos he has on there!" Izuku yelled making Mina, Ochaco, and Toru turn on the camera and look through it, all while the white haired boy punched his best friend out of annoyance. "I mean someone else has to admire it!"

"Look at this! That's Death Arms stopping a robber, it looks so good!" Ochaco yelled pointing at one of the photos he had of Death Arms tackling a robber into a wall.

"Oh and this photo of the beach at night is so beautiful!" Toru yelled as she admired a photo he had taken from one of the vacations he took with Kazuma years ago.

"Oh and this is...is this your grandfather?! He looks so much like you!" Mina yelled as they found a photo of Kazuma blowing out one of his birthday cakes with Inko and Izuku standing next to him.

"Well, everybody says that about the other one so I doubt it." Hayato sighed ready to take the camera away.

"He got you this, didn't he?" Ochaco asked turning off the camera and gently placing it back in the box.

"It was my twelfth birthday gift, I'm coming up on four years with it next week." Hayato answered before Denki noticed a group of frames on the wall next to his bed.

"And what's that?" Denki was answered by the three girls running over and looking at the photos.

"It's a photo of him and Midoriya as kids! They're so cuuuuute!" Mina cooed pointing at a photo of Hayato and Izuku on their first day at Elementary School together.

"And it's him as a baby with his grandpa! It's so wholesome!" Toru yelled admiring a photo of Kazuma holding an infant Hayato in his arms.

"That's Mira and...your parents?!" Ochaco yelled pointing at a photo of Mira from their trip to I-Island and seeing a photo of Raito and Towa from when he was born. "Your dad looks like he's super chill!"

"And your mom looks so beautiful! You even have her hair!"

"Genetics." Hayato said rolling his eyes.

"And this last one is...it's Yao-momo!" The three yelled making Momo blush from surprise and Hayato from embarrassment as they saw one last photo loose on his bed outside of its frame.

"She's my girlfriend...why wouldn't I have a picture of her...?" Hayato grumbled as he closed his eyes and crossed his arms.

"But this is what she wore when we went to that party on I-Island, I thought you just said you didn't take your camera." Ochaco said making Hayato turn away from them.

"I took it with my phone, duh."

"Why don't you guys move on before you embarrass him even further?" Momo asked laughing sheepishly making the group nod and leave his room. When Izuku passed in front of him again, Hayato punched his arm once more before closing the door behind him.

"What was that for?!" Izuku whispered rubbing his arm.

"My camera?! Really?!"

"It seemed fair! You had to say all of that about my All Might stuff, so I let everyone know about your hobby!"

"Not cool man." Hayato said before Momo placed herself between them.

"Um, Midoriya? Why don't you go ahead with the group while I have a moment with Hayato? We'll catch up soon." Momo said making Izuku nod and walk away to rejoin the class as they entered the elevators to continue their contest to the third floor. Once they were gone, Momo let out a sigh of relief and Hayato leaned against the wall.

"What's up?"

"Are you okay? You're acting just slightly more distant than when you interned under Sir Nighteye."

"I am? Sorry, I didn't really notice." Hayato said using his thumb to rub his eye. Truth was, he did know. He wasn't eating as much as he normally did, he would wake up at random points during the night, he would even find excuses to not train with Izuku since it meant he could avoid using his Quirk. He kept thinking about the explanation Nana had given him about how he had gotten One for All, but he couldn't help but feel guiltier and guiltier the more he thought about it and how he knew it was irreversible made him feel even worse.

"I'm gonna ask you again and please be honest with me...are you okay?" Momo repeated her question and placed her hand on Hayato's cheek while he looked away. "I know something is bothering you. Whatever it is, don't be afraid to tell me." Momo said as she placed her forehead on his. He held her hand and gulped as he fought every urge to pour his heart out to her.

"I want to...so badly." Hayato whispered as he felt his body begin to shake.

"You know I can keep a secret. If we can't be open and honest with each other then you know how this is going to end up." Momo said making Hayato grit his teeth as he knew he was going to explode like a certain Explosion hero from their class if he continued. He opened his bedroom door and quickly pulled Momo inside, locking the door behind them and making sure his curtains were shut. "What is it?"

"Momo...what I'm about to show you: you can't tell anyone about. This is the biggest secret I could have ever kept from you, but I need to really get this off my chest." Hayato said as he took out a plastic crate he had kept some of his camera accessories in and dumped its contents onto his bed.

"What are you talking about? Your photography hobby? I knew about that already."

"Not that! This!" Hayato yelled as he pushed his new power into his body the same way he did with his original Quirk, and crushed the hard plastic box as if it was nothing. Momo took a step back from shock as she knew what his Quirk could do...and this was NOTHING like what she thought she knew. "My speed has been kicked into overdrive. Everything I could do before has been enhanced with some other stuff added into it. Like super strength. Who does that sound like?"

"...that's how Midoriya's Quirk works doesn't it?" Momo asked as it dawned on her what he was describing.

"Izuku's Quirk...is my Quirk now. He and I have the same powers now."

"I would say you're just making this up...but you just CRUSHED that crate like it was made of cardboard. How is this even possible?"

"It's a long and complicated answer...but I hate this Momo. I hate this so much." Hayato said as he dropped the destroyed plastic in his hands and looked down at it. He balled his hands into fists and felt the power only grow stronger in response to his emotions and it just made him feel worse. Momo just looked at him as she thought about what she should do. Leave and give him some space to calm down or be there for him the way he was for her the day they had gotten together? After a few seconds and seeing him begin to tremble from frustration, she knew there was only one answer.

"Hayato." She walked over to him and pulled him in for a hug, running her hands through his hair the same way she did whenever they were together. He wrapped his arms around her and let the power coursing through his veins die out so he wouldn't crush her. "Why do you hate this? It's just you and me, no one else is here and you can tell me the truth. Explain to me everything about this so I can see why this hurts you." Momo said as she fixed the mess of hair she had just created and broke their hug.

"Where's Yao-momo?! We can't judge her room without her!" Mina yelled as they had already reached the fourth floor and noticed that the rich girl of their class was missing.

"She's with Hayato right now." Izuku said trying to calm the pink skinned girl down only for her to begin to march back to the elevator.

"This isn't the same without them! I'm going to drag them up here!"

"Wait! They're probably talking about something important! What if we interrupt them?!" Izuku asked trying to get her to rejoin their group.

"They can leave it for another day." Mina grumbled before feeling someone grab her arm. She turned to see Eijiro looking at her with a sheepish smile.

"Come on, Ashido. I mean Bakugo and Shinso didn't wanna be a part of this and Todoroki left us to go to bed already. Can't we just let it slide this one time?" Eijiro asked letting go of her arm and shoving his hands in his pockets.

"But-"

"Think about it: if you had a boyfriend and you wanted some alone time, would you be happy if one of your friends got in the way of that? Especially knowing how Mr. Aizawa's gonna leave you with zero time to be together." Eijiro said trying to stop himself from blushing as he imagined what he was saying with the two of them as a couple.

"Mmmm...I guess you have a point." Mina mumbled as she crossed her arms and looked away as she was imagining the same thing he was.

"Then we can let it slide and get this over with?"

"Fine...just this one time. Next time I'm keeping those two tied to me."

"That's...that sounds so hard to believe." Momo said after Hayato finished explaining everything: the story behind One for All, how Izuku had gotten his hands on it, and how it found itself in his hands as well. They were now sitting on his bed and Hayato buried his face in his hands as he felt a slight pain in them after using One for All.

"I know. I can barely even believe it myself. But you see why this bothers me so much?"

"I guess I do...Midoriya finally got to live his dream and you feel like you stabbed him in the back because you accidentally got what helped him achieve it." Momo's blunt summary made Hayato groan in defeat and pull his blanket over his head.

"For him it's a blessing...for me, it's a curse. And the worst part is that this is irreversible. I can't just give it back to him now, no user can give it to someone who already had it." Hayato groaned as he laid down and shoved his face into his mattress. Momo smiled and removed the blanket from his body, laying her body over his instead.

"Hayato?"

"Mm?"

"Is this really a curse? You're the same person who told me you were willing to work until you couldn't feel your feet anymore until you and Midoriya were equals as heroes and in strength. Or was that a lie?" He shook his head. "And you still want to do that?" He nodded. "So why don't you see it like your own blessing to make sure of that. If Midoriya has the potential to even be greater than All Might, then you were given the means of doing the same just like him. Why is that bad?" He tried answering her, but his mattress muffled most of his words so she could barely understand him. "With your face outside of your bed."

"Because I wanted to do it on my own terms. I wanted to use my own power and grow it so I could match his."

"And it still is your power. Just because it was once part of Midoriya's doesn't mean it's an exact copy of his." Momo said making Hayato raise an eyebrow. "You said that the woman who trained All Might told you your original Quirk mixed with One for All. I think that's what you called it right?"

"Yeah it's called One for All."

"Which means it's not the same as Midoriya's. Chances are it only has part of what his could do, if not just the basic things we know it could do now. It's still your Quirk with some extra additions." Momo explained as she moved herself from his body and next to him, keeping her hand on his and keeping eye contact with him. "This is a blessing for you too. You won't be outdone by him anymore and instead of eventually looking up to Midoriya as a goal you can never reach, you can look at him as the goal you're keeping up with."

"But how am I gonna keep this from the others? It's going to be pretty obvious something's up when I can move faster than I ever could before. I don't have control over it like Izuku does, and even then he can BARELY do it without cracking a bone every now and then."

"Just try to keep it to a minimum so you don't draw attention. You'll get the hang of it after a while, I mean you are pretty quick when it comes to a lot of stuff." Momo said laughing as she knew she slightly insulted Hayato with her comment. He chuckled as well before taking his hand from under hers and swapping their places, locking their fingers together. "I'm always gonna be here whenever you need me like this. I don't like seeing you in pain or beating yourself up because of anything."

"Now you know how it is to date you." Momo scoffed at his insult before laughing, knowing she earned that after the comment about his speed. "I'm so lucky to have you though. Just try not to get overexcited and spill the beans again."

"I'll try my best." Momo said before the two of them just stopped talking and finally began enjoying their first moment alone since their trip to I-Island without anything interrupting it. "Don't worry too much about it. You'll get the hang of it."

"And if I don't?"

"You will. I mean, you still have Mr. Aizawa to help train you. And you still have Sir Nighteye and your grandfather."

"You make a compelling argument."

"Promise me you won't beat yourself up anymore over this."

"I promise."
