Chapter Text
“All-Might?” Izuku said as barely a whisper with a deep gulp of fear bubbling to the surface. His face felt hot and he was shaking violently his knees rattled like wind chimes in the summer breeze. They had just finished a session of Izuku’s training they were off in a hidden section of the school, out of sight. Izuku’s whole body ached from the training but he didn’t break a single limb this time around and he felt so proud of himself. Soon I will be able to use more than 5% of the power All-Might gave me.
“Hmm?” All-Might said that amazing smile still on his face. His mind was elsewhere mostly on Peace, Justice, and the American way! Also what he was going to have for dinner because he was starving.
“I…I love you!” Izuku yelled his face burned. All-Might froze and he blinked for several seconds unsure of what he just heard was real or his imagination. But all he had to do was to look at Midoryia to see that, yes that was said, he said I love you. All-Might’s jaw dropped and a fountain of blood spewed out as he returned to his weaker form.
“Oh that...well...kid” All-Might was speechless. He had many fans, some of those who expressed more than just admiration for him but this, this was different. He couldn’t just say a funny line and fly off into the sunset. Or make an excuse like, Sorry fine lad I have a dentist appointment or his favorite I have a villain to stop.
Tears started to run freely down Midoriya’s face as he realized he misjudged how his confession would turn out. “It’s okay All-Might I’m just a nobody kid just pretend that you never had this conversation with me. I mean just pretend that none of this happened. Right it was just a joke I mean not really because I really do love you like a lot.” Izuku was muttering to himself. A continues stream of hopelessness that even All-Might could ever fix.
“Hey kid...” All-Might said trying to calm Izuku down.
“You are my favorite hero, my number one hero, All-Might. And I love you.” Izuku clinched his fists and looked down at the ground. He didn’t want to take no for an answer standing ready for the finishing blow from All-Might.
All-Might stood there in stunned silence. How could this kid have the kind of balls that would be needed to even confess this? Not only to his teacher, the very person that gave him the powers he once lacked. “Izuku what will you mother think of this?” All-Might questioned feeling a weight lift. There is no way in hell his mother would allow this to happen.
“I’ll asked her! Come to dinner and we can tell her and then you will see!” Izuku lurched forward grabbing All-Might’s hands.
“You do need to ask her if I can come to dinner first, Izuku.”
“Oh, right! I’ll do that today then I’ll text you when I get an answer.” Izuku said with a smile.

Izuku got home earlier than normal he had used his Quirk ‘safe fully’ just so he could talk to his mom. “I’m home.” He called from the front door. “Welcome home dear” his mother said back, she was in the living room.
“Mom can I talk to you.” Izuku said overlooking his mom who sat watching the news. She smiled at him then looked concerned at the expression on his face.
“Izuku? What is it Dear?” His mother asked a slight panic in her voice. She was always concerned about her son no matter what. She was the sweetest mother that ever existed, Izuku thought as he pushed himself to ask her.
“Can I bring someone over for dinner tomorrow?” He said shaking slightly. His mother running through all the possibilities in her head. Is this person a friend? Or a girlfriend?
“Who are you bringing over dear?” She asked prying for some information. Izuku laughed as he rubbed the back of his head nervously.
“You wouldn’t believe it but its-”

“All-Might!” His mother yelled in surprise as the tall, bulky, blonde haired man walked into her home.
“Good day madam it is an honor to meet you.” He said in his pleasant boisterous tone with that amazing smile. Izuku’s mother was in a panic she hadn’t cleaned up the house and while everything was not in disarray to her it felt as such. How could she ever clean to match the amazingness of All-Might.
When dinner was served she seemed to mellow out a bit that All-Might felt that now was the best time to tell her why he was here.
“I am here for a reason ma’ma,” All-Might paused briefly looking at Izuku “your son has confessed his profound love for me!” He clinched his fist and looked towards the celling dramatically.
“Well Izuku has always loved you since before he was 4 years old” she said with a nod. She had missed his point because of his poor choice of words.
All-Might cleared his throat. “What I mean is that he has confessed that he is ‘in love’ with me.” All-Might said carefully so to make sure that Izuku’s mother understood him. He made his hands parallel and motioned with emphasis the difference between ‘love’ and ‘in love.’ It seemed to work.
“Oh…Oh” she turned to Izuku who was red faced and looking away from them “IZUUUKKKUUUU” she cried quickly jumping to her feet to hug her son. “I’m so proud of you.”
“Uh? Ma’am?” All-Might asked confused.
“I knew you would be happy for me mom. All-Might wanted me to ask for your permission, because you know he didn’t want it to seem inappropriate.” Izuku mumbled on.
“Yes. If it makes you both happy. I approve.” His mom said with a queenly domineer before devolving into a happy smile with teary eyes.
All-Might laughed “You are an amazing mother. No wonder you had such a hero of a son.” All-Might suddenly felt the time limit kick in. He quickly stifled a bloody cough that was about to spill over. “Well it was nice meeting you but I most go, the people of Japan need me!” All-Might let himself out and was quickly followed by Izuku. Izuku could hear his mother in a slight panic as the two of them ran outside. “I’ll be home soon Mom I promise!” He called out to her.
When they got far enough away from the apartment building All-Might was back in his deflated form with Izuku walking next to him. They walked quietly along the streets for a stretch before Izuku broke the silence by asking “All-Might can I hold your hand?” All-Might coughed up a stream of blood in surprise be quickly turned away but Izuku stopped him. He had a handkerchief in hand and whipped up the blood for All-Might.
All-Might took the handkerchief with his right hand “Thank you Izuku” and took Izuku’s hand with his left. “How about we walk down to the coast. It’s been a while since you cleaned up that place I was wondering how it’s been doing.” Izuku blushed and wordlessly nodded squeezing All-Mights hand as they walked.
