All For One sat quietly. He was deep in thought. There was much to think on with the state of Inko's case but that wasn't what he was thinking about. Kurogiri had informed him that his Little Dragon would be returning the girl's chocolates.

Initially the thought had brought him amusement because he remembered teasing Izuku about receiving the chocolates but then a more serious thought had occurred to him. His son was fourteen, which wasn't actually too young to be thinking about sex. He didn't think his Little Dragon was interested in the other sex yet, or his own but... he was getting to be that age and while, again, he didn't think the girl was interested in it, he also knew women grew up quickly.

Not that he'd mind if Izuku enjoyed a little recreational sex with the girl... it was just with him being so loyal to his friend he was likely to attach more significance to the act than there had to be.

Which really meant he now had to make a choice.

He could let things play out and while that was so tempting it would potentially lead to complications. Not with pregnancy, though that was a possibility but he trusted that his son's friend would be mature enough to avoid that. Even if it happened... then it would depend on the child's quirk but he could deal with those consequences. The inevitable attachment Izuku would feel to the girl and his child would be tricky but...

Complications were best avoided.

So he would have to speak to Izuku. That by itself, wasn't an issue. The real issue was how to approach the topic. He could be completely factual when explaining the mechanics and uses of sex, except... For all that his son was, in many ways, far more mature than others his age, he had a romantic, soft streak. He still retained a desire to help people. As such he would no doubt reject some of the more pragmatic statements he would make in that approach.

It almost dictated he would need to take a softer approach. If he did that, he'd need to trust that his son would determine later, the fact that sex could be a weapon, or was something you did for fun, and that it was not necessarily a sign of love. Izuku was intelligent but... people could be surprisingly stupid when he came to relationships.

He couldn't make Kurogiri explain it either. The misty man was a servant but he'd point blank refused to explain sex and relationships to Izuku. The warper pointed out that he'd done that duty with Tomura and while All For One had suggested that gave him experience in the matter Kurogiri had simply given him a stare. Even though he couldn't see, and Kurogiri customarily had no expression, All For One felt the frost the other man directed towards him. It was one of the few times he knew Kurogiri would actually refuse him.

Gigantomachia wasn't a candidate to explain such things either. The huge man understood sex but... no, he wasn't going to think about that. And Garaki would... the man would explain it to Izuku in a purely technical manner.

He was going to have to do it.

All For One sighed... it would have to be tomorrow night, to make sure that he got in before anything happened. He'd almost prefer to face All Might again.

The things he did for his son.

"My Little Dragon," All For One greeted his son as he came through the door.

"Dad!" His son rushed over to him and gave him a hug.

"How was your day?" he asked deliberately, as he settled into his chair. Izuku took a seat beside him at the table. It was White Day today, so they would not be talking about politics, strategy or quirks. .
