It's pretty weird in some ways to be the son of Endeavor, the number 2 hero. Not because of the fame or anything. That has always been a part of it and I had stated it proudly for years.

However, sometimes I forget he is just the number 2 hero. The number 1 has always been All Might, and where I do see him as cool, he's just never been number 1 to me.

I guess it's biased, but all I have ever known him to be was someone to surpass one day for my father's worth.

The weirdest aspect though for me is when I get a reality check that All Might is indeed number 1. This involves the merch, the talk shows, most of all the fans who just adore this man

Said reality check this time was indeed a fan in the form of a 5-year-old with a motor mouth holding up his All Might proudly.

For the past hour, I haven't gotten to talk to Midoriya-san at all. My hope was to just escape reality and chat with her, drink the tea because honestly, I really liked doing that yesterday. Escaping my mind and not facing my family.

There was just that relief feeling that happened that I wanted to feel again. I was in a way addicted to it and just wanted to feel something other than the sore aches of my burnt skin.

But instead of that, I'm here stuck listening to this kid. It was annoying yes, but a different level of annoying where I just couldn't just tell him to shut up. For one that was rude and I didn't want to upset his mom. Two, there was a lot that he was saying that was kind of interesting, so a part of me wanted to keep listening.

What can I even do in a situation like this? Maybe if I played dead he would go away.

No, instead I just sat there awkwardly. The bad part was I lost track of what he was saying, just a moment ago he was explaining how All might had saved these people from a huge disaster, which if I am right it was one of his debut moments, but now he was talking about a talk show All Might was just on. What did I miss???

Mentally I just groaned.

I managed to get a glimpse at Midoriya-san who just smiled at me sympathetically as if asking if I wanted him to stop. Which yes, please I would like to say something because I really wanted to just talk with her! I just gave her my best expression to plead for saving in this hostage situation.

Her expression changed to almost amused. As long as I'm being saved here that's fine by me to look amusing as I am being TORTURED!

Okay, that was dramatic but still, who can keep up with this kid's fast-talking mouth. Maybe that's his quirk. What a strange one, but he would be great at those auctions.

"Izuku, sweetie. Please I know All Might is exciting but he's our guest. Shouldn't you let Todoroki-kun talk?" Midoriya-san said coming over to ruffle Izuku's hair.

The little boy giggled before gasping.

"I'm sorry," He lowered his toy to be obscured by the table.

I didn't want him to feel THAT bad so I just gave a sympathetic smile. "Hey, it's okay. All Might is cool so I see why you want to talk about him." I waved some to brush the tension off. "Bet you want to be a hero just like him."

Good lord the expression on his face lighting up could make you go blind. He was so ecstatic about the idea. However, the look of worry crossed Midoriya-san face.

For a moment I saw my mom making me tense up.

"Yeah! I need to work harder but I wanna be just like All Might!" Izuku said smiling as big as he could.
