One for all... All for one... little brother... S E N S E I-

Midoriya Izuku woke up in cold sweat, his room once again destroyed by his quirk and the haunting feeling that someone was watching him from the shadows. He sat at the edge of his bed, head in his hands as he tried and soothed his irregular heartbeat. "It's just a dream, it's just a dream, it's just a dream..."

He repeated the sentence over and over again to the darkness of the night, where no one would hear his worries or the thoughts that spilled from his mouth from time to time. "It's just a dream, it's just a dream..."

But he knew better, that was no ordinary dream.

All Might had already explained to him the history of One for All and All for One, and the tale behind the two quirks. But why was he dreaming of the previous holders of One for All? Stumbling as he stood, Midoriya shuffled towards his desk to grab his phone. The bright 2:56 A.M. shinning in his face. "Everyone's probably asleep," He mumbled, rubbing his eyes. And if he remembered correctly, Satou had left the leftover brownies in the fridge last night.

Slipping on his slippers, Midoriya quietly opened his door to glance around the darkened hallway, closing the door shut behind him with a soundless click the teen proceeded towards the kitchen. Walking down the stairs, he raised an eyebrow seeing the lights in the kitchen switched on. I wonder who else will be up at this ungodly hour...

He peeked inside, green eyes widening when he took note of the familiar figure sitting on a stool nursing a mug of hot chocolate, dressed in grey sweatpants and a plain T-shirt with a plate of Satou's brownies in front of him. Todoroki blinked when he noticed him, before nodding and gesturing towards the seat opposite his. "Good morning Midoriya-kun, I wasn't expecting company," Midoriya shrugged.

"I stayed up late watching a hero commentary and got hungry, you?"

"Training,"

None of them called out on the other's blatant lie.

"Ah," Todoroki spoke as the tension in the room got awkward, "I'll make you hot chocolate," It sounded more like a command than a question. Midoriya nodded, sliding into the extra seat opposite of Todoroki's, "Arigato, Todoroki-kun," The bi-coloured male nodded as he moved towards the island counter, returning minutes later with Midoriya's signature All Might mug.

Grabbing the mug with a nod of gratitude, Midoriya took a sip, eyes closing in pleasure as the warm, sweet liquid traveled down his throat and send tingles in his stomach. "This is the best hot chocolate I've ever tasted,"

Todoroki bowed his head slightly, a flush of pink dusting his pale cheeks, "Arigato, it was my okaa-san who had taught me the recipe," Midoriya set his steaming mug on the table, giving him a curious look. "How's she doing?" Did I seriously just asked Todoroki-kun that?! Midoriya wanted to crawl into a hole and die, "I-I didn't mean to sound rude at all I-I was just c-curious. P-Please don't get mad,"

Todoroki blinked, tilting his head to the side in a cute manner, "You were just worried about my mother's well-being, why would I get mad at you?"

IT'S ILLEGAL FOR SOMEONE TO BE THIS CUTE!! Midoriya shouted in his head, trying hard not to compare Todoroki's eyes to beautiful gems that shine like diamonds. Though his answer did surprise the green haired teen, for Todoroki's reaction to his question was largely different to Kacchan's whenever he had asked about Aunt Mitsuki's health.

"To answer your question though, my mother has been getting better according to the nurses. She will be discharged once her doctor gives her the green light," Todoroki stated, a gentle smile slipped onto his face as he stared into his mug.

Midoriya resisted the urge to bang his head against the table, or squeal at his friend's oblivious cuteness.

Silence reigned the kitchen once again, Midoriya nervously drank his cooling hot chocolate when Todoroki had suddenly asked, "Are you sure you're not All Might's illegitimate child?"

Midoriya spat out his drink in shock.

Todoroki handed the male a piece of tissue worriedly, "I'm sorry if I had startled you with the sudden question," Startled is an understatement, Midoriya thought wryly as he rubbed his mouth. Finished with his cleanup, he gave Todoroki a look of disbelief and curiosity, "It's okay. But why? I already told you during the sports festival that All Might isn't my dad. Plus, we look nothing alike,"

"That smile could've fool me otherwise,"

"Pardon?"

"Nothing, please continue," Giving Todoroki one last look of suspicion he continued. "And All Might's in his early 50s or so. Even if I was his son it would be impossible seeing as my mom would've been in her 30s when she met him, and All Might would've been 40 something making him quite unable to have children since males start to become infertile after they entered their 40s and even if they did it's a rare case. Asides from that I don't look the slightest bit like him and if he was my dad I would've inherited some of his looks based off Mendel's theory on heredity. Sure one of my descendants came from America but that doesn't fully prove I'm All Might's son. And I'm pretty sure that I would be dead by now if I really am All Might's son with the amount of enemies he has made during his time as the symbol of peace-"

"Midoriya-kun, you're mumbling again," Todoroki called out in amusement, Midoriya looks cute when he's extremely concentrated like that. His lips pulled into a slight pout as he spewed out his thoughts with random facts, emerald eyes focused heavily on his theories.

He paused, backtracking his thoughts. Did I just called Midoriya cute?

Midoriya, having paused after Todoroki's words, let a flush on embarrassment set his face aflame. Todoroki tried not to stare as the flush continued to crept below the All Might shirt the other teen was wearing, tempting him to rip off the shirt just to see where the flush would end. Definitely cute.

"Sorry Todoroki-kun, I kind of got carried away with my mumbling and all..." Midoriya apologised, scratching the back of his neck sheepishly. Todoroki shook his head, "It's okay, I was just curious because the others and I have only met your mother but never your father. Does your father work a lot?"

Midoriya froze, his smile dimming just a little bit. But Todoroki noticed, "Midoriya-kun?"

The freckled teen shook his head, running a hand through his hair. "Ano, my dad hasn't been home since I was a kid. Okaa-san signed the official divorce papers after I'd turned six though," Todoroki stared at the teen in shock, "I'm sorry, I didn't know,"

Midoriya laughed, waving the subject off, "It's fine, he had a logical reason for doing it though. I can understand that," After all, no one would want to burden themselves with a useless, quirkless Deku, right?

"What," Todoroki sounded furious, did I said that aloud? "Midoriya-kun, you are not a burden, nor are you useless," The male said in a firm tone, I had definitely said it aloud, dammit.

"And you said quirkless, are you perhaps a late bloomer?" Midoriya gulped, twiddling his fingers nervously, "Yeah, my quirk appeared after I'd saved Kacchan from the sludge villain. It was on the news I think,"

"...that was a year and a half ago," Todoroki bluntly stated, hiding his shock.

Midoriya nodded, "Cases such as mine are rare, since there aren't many late bloomers in their teens when they found their quirks. So before that I was considered quirkless for the first 14 years of my life,"

Todoroki wondered if he should kidnap Izuku and hide him in a tower, or just comfort the teen and make him another cup of hot chocolate. He knew what being quirkless meant, after all most quirkless people never lived until their adult years due to the increasing suicidal rate every year. Izuku could've been one of them, a voice whispered in his mind, he wouldn't have met us or save so many lives.

Is that why his quirk was so self-destructive? Children tend to train their quirks as they grow up, allowing their bodies to adapt to the usage of their quirks. Midoriya hadn't gotten his quirk when he was 4 though, and with only less than 2 years of experience under his belt was already an amazing feat.

Then again, it explained why Midoriya had never considered using his legs in combat until All Might's suggestion during the Super Move Training.

Midoriya still had his head bowed down, refusing to look at Todoroki in the eye. "Midoriya-kun, look at me," And he did, allowing Todoroki to see the raw emotions swarming through his emerald eyes. "You are not useless," Todoroki moved forward, clasping both of his hands around Midoriya's as he stared into the other' eyes as he spoke with conviction, "And you never will be,"

"These hands, though scarred and on the verge of collapsing, had saved so many lives. And you can't say it's because of your quirk that you managed to saved them, but because you wanted to. Any quirk could be considered a hero's quirk, though useless and pathetic at times like Mineta's. But in the end it's because of your gigantic heart of gold that you stand up to save someone. Uraraka, Kouta, Shinsou, Iida, Eri... me," Running a finger across one of the many scars Todoroki spoke, never breaking eye contact.

"Anyone can be a hero, even a quirkless person. As long as they're brave enough to step up, then they're already halfway there," The way Todoroki had said it with such conviction and the truthfulness in his eyes was impossible to imagine, but it really was there.

Midoriya didn't believed it, everyone had told him a quirkless kid could never become a hero. Okaa-san, Kacchan... even All Might did before he had discovered his potential. And here was the one person who never knew of Midoriya's quirkless past, telling him truthfully that a quirkless person can become a hero.

Why is my heart beating so fast right now? Midoriya thought as he leaned closer to Todoroki, never taking his eyes off the other, and did someone turned up the heat in the room?

Badump... Badump... Badump... their faces were inches apart now, lips centimetres away from touching.

Midoriya noticed how smooth and plump Todoroki's lips were, and the way those heterochromia eyes stared at him that made something sparked within his rapidly beating heart. "Todoroki-kun.." The other leaned even closer, ready to smash his lips against his-

"Good morning guys," The two jumped back as their heads snapped towards the figure standing beside the door, "S-Shinsou-kun! G-Good morning to you too! What are you d-doing down here..." The new student of Class 1A grunted, rubbing his eyes as he shuffled pass the two and towards the coffee machine. "Insomnia, can't sleep that well so I thought coffee sounds like a good idea right now,"

He gave the two a dazed look of confusion, "I didn't interrupted anything important, did I?"

Midoriya wildly shook his head, the flush on his face a shade of red indescribable. "Nope! Nothing at all! I'm goingtogoforarunnowBYE!" With that the teen sped off with incredible speed without finishing his hot chocolate, leaving the other two alone in the kitchen.

Todoroki stared at the spot Midoriya had previously been sitting in, his heartbeat slowing down from the full-adrenaline moment just seconds ago. I nearly kissed Midoriya, he thought dazedly. Moving a hand to touch his lips, the memory replaying in his mind like a broken record.

"So you finally realised your feelings huh, hot-and-cold?" Shinsou's voice cut in, Todoroki snapped out of his daze to turn and look at the male.

Shinsou leaned against the counter, coffee cup in hand. The dazed look in his eyes previously having been replaced with a cold, challenging glare, "I guess Calamari won the bet on when would you realised your feelings for Midoriya-kun then,"

"You mean Kaminari?" Honestly, Shinsou's nicknames for them were funny in a weird way.

"Kaminari, calamari, it's the same thing. Point is, you're not getting Midoriya's heart that easily," Todoroki narrowed his eyes at the mind controller, "What do you mean?" Shinsou snorted, chugging down his coffee before refilling it, "If you hadn't noticed there's a line waiting and competing for Midoriya's attention and his heart. Don't know how the smol green bean does it but he even attracts the villains like moths to a light,

"So yeah, you're not the only one who likes Midoriya in this class, hell the entire school at this point,"

Todoroki tilted his head to the side, staring at Shinsou calculatively, "You like Midoriya too,"

Shinsou shrugged, "Who doesn't?"

"Touché,"

"Anyways, now that my work here is done I'm going to go back to bed," Shinsou grabbed another cup of coffee before he left, but not before turning around to give the bi-coloured male a smirk, "Just to be clear, I don't plan on losing to any of you guys. Midoriya is mine,"

Todorokifolded his arms, "We'll see about that... by the way, why do you keep calling me hot-and-cold?" Shinsou stared at him for a moment before he let out a tiny snicker, "It's a song, go google it,"

And he did. If Todoroki had started to get addicted to songs by Katy Perry and be even more protective and touchy-feely around a certain ray of sunshine, no one needed to know or questioned it.
