Chapter 23

Third Person POV


The following day Izuku spends his day relaxing and making swords to replace the ones that were destroyed. It was one of those days that you were at peace with yourself. There was no current demand for weapon deals, no work, and no danger what so ever of any kind. However, the world just seems to hate him for no reason. His peaceful day was broken by Touya's sudden entry to his room. 

"I heard what happened yesterday and I'm here to tell you it gets a bit more complicated for you now." He said.

Confuse by what Touya meant, he asked for more details.

"It's all over the news right now. The media published that All Might has a son attending UA. There's no picture of you yet but it's only a matter of time now before they will know it's you" Touya explained.

Izuku was now feeling an upcoming panic attack. He couldn't breathe and his heart was beating fast. Several items on his room were floating but lucky for Izuku, Touya was there to calm him down. He helped Izuku stay under control. When he calmed down, Izuku got up and began to walk back and forth around the room. Izuku knew that yesterday's slip up might have something to do with what's happening right now and it seems that Touya felt that Izuku was hiding something.

"What else happened yesterday Izuku?"

Izuku stopped and looked at Touya. He was a bit scared to tell him about his slip up but from Touya's facial expression, if he won't tell him then he will regret it. In the end, he told him about his slip up since it's dangerous to keep a secret from his "older brother".

At the same time, the Yagi household got unexpected guests early in the morning. Guests that would bring the head of the household to tears.

It started out as a normal morning for the married couple. Inko and Toshinori were having a relaxing time watching a movie in the living room when their doorbell rang. They were not expecting anyone to visit them. Toshinori went to answer the door and when he found out who was at the other side of the door, he wished he didn't open the door.

Grand Torino was visiting his former student to find out the truth about what All Might was hiding and it turns out Nighteye, the former sidekick of All Might, has the same idea as him. Now they were in front of the hero's house and face-to-face with a scared All might.

"Are you just gonna stand there or are you going to let us in so you can explain the mess you made.?" Gran Torino asked.

Toshinori snap out from his fear and invited the two inside. 

They gather around the living. Inko served tea while his husband was a shivering mess in front of his former mentor and uneasy around his former sidekick. Nobody had said anything for the first few minutes which made Toshinori Yagi more nervous than he already was.

"How long were you planning on hiding the fact you have a son and is now in UA?" Gran Torino asked.

Toshinori couldn't look at the elder in the eye. He knew he would ask that but he hasn't found the right answer. He could feel the waiting eyes of the two that's just grilling him for some answers. After gaining enough courage, he answered Gran Torino's question.

"W-We didn't mean to hide anything. W-We only did it b-because we w-want keep o-our son s-safe incase s-something happen. B-Being the symbol o-of p-peace is dangerous t-to I-Izuku."

"Is he here right now?" Nighteye asked.

Toshinori paused at that. Nighteye was not a problem for him but Gran Torino was someone he feared. There was no longer any escape he could come up with to avoid the elder's wrath. He then told the situation within his family to the two now hoping for the best.

--------------------------------------------------

Izuku was laying down on his bed after half an hour of Touya's Interrogation. He was also starting to feel a little nervous about attending school the next day. He was sure that most of them would grill him for information. However, he just decided to ignore his problem for now and just gets some rest after making some more swords from his quirk.

Izuku woke up a few hours later from his sleep. He got up and went down to the kitchen for dinner. He saw Touya in the living room watching live news and eating some chips. He went to the kitchen to make dinner but he saw that there was already some food prepared for him by the table. Izuku smiled at the thought of Touya's kind gesture. 

As Izuku was eating, Touya went to the kitchen and sat in front of Izuku. From what Izuku observed, Touya seems to have something to say and it was better to just wait until he talks. 

"What are you planning to do now?" Touya asked as Izuku finish eating.

Izuku knew what he was asking about and truth be told, he was anxious. The teen had a lot of secrets that he doesn't want people outside his trust circle to find out. There's also the looming eyes of the media who will try to get all the information or activities of his daily life. The unwanted attention and stress was something he may not be able to handle and perhaps may lead to him losing control of his second quirk.

"I don't know. I guess I just need to be careful not to attract any attention right now."

Touya smiled at that answer since he personally knew that Izuku wasn't the type of person that can fully understand that sooner or later the truth will catch up to him one way or another. All Touya can do was to make sure that Izuku Yagi, the one who is already a younger brother to him, won't have to do anything he might regret. 

-----------------------------------------------------------

Toshinori Yagi was finally free from the terror that was Gran Torino. The retired hero was screaming at him after he told what happened to his son. Nighteye interrogated the Symbol of Peace after the hero and father told them he doesn't have the current location of his son. At the end of everything, Toshinori Yagi also known as the number one hero suffered much from the retired hero's cane. 

As Toshinori sat down in their living room, he thinks about the threat that Torino promise. The retired hero wants to see him fix the relationship with his son before UA's internship that will happen after the school's Sports Festival. For Toshinori, bonding with his son was easier said than done since his son always has a reason to avoid being alone with his father. He hopes a miracle will happen since he wants to avoid Gran Torino's wrath.
