Fallen Guardian

19. Hard Fall

All Might takes sighs deeply, blue eyes staring off over the large expands of heaven.

His eyes shift down to the crystal waters of one of heavens many breathtakingly beautiful bodies of water.

He takes in the blue green color of the water thinking about how the green hues remind him so much of his favorite guardians eyes.

A voice announces itself suddenly beside him.

" You ok?"

Hawks takes a seat beside All Might on a bench at the waters edge.

The blonde eyed male doesn't meet his gaze only sighs heavily as he speaks.

" No, I don't see how I could be. Izuku has left me with a heart wrenching decision.."

Hawks nods, there's a beat of silence before the angel decides to speak his mind.

" Maybe that's because you've left him with one also. To have to chose between this life and someone he's grown to love but is being forced from has to be one of the most heart wrenching things I can think of"

All Might shifts his gaze to the angel beside him.

" Yes, I'm sure that's why the rules were set in place, to keep this kind of agonizing choices from beging made."

Yellow eyes meet deep blue.

" Right, but it's too late for that now. Izuku Midoriya is in love with his charge, nothing is going to change that now"

All Might sighs again standing up frustration in his tone.

" You know what he's asked of me right?? You know what he wants? Do you have any idea how hard this is for me? I breathed him into existence. Gave him gifts I have given no other. I see him as a son not just a guardian."

The angel takes a deep breath his hands in his pockets taking steps tawrd the other.

" I know he's asked to fall and I'm aware how difficult this will be for you but I don't see any other options. You've heard his screams of pain from earth. He shatters the sound barriers. His pain rips through the atmosphere casing storms that rival hurricane force. The powers you have given him could destroy everything around him because his heart is broken and he loves the male so much that he can not gain control over his emotions. I fear it could not only destroy the things around him but he could be his own end"

There's a heavy silence that falls between them before All Might speakes.

" I know, I'm well aware. But... a fall Keigo, a fall could kill him too"

The angel nods.

" Yes, yes it could, but he knows the risk and he's willing to take it, that should tell you how he feels. You can't deny him Toshinori, you know that"

" I could deny him. I could, but ....but I won't. I will break my own heart and give him what he wishes and hope that he survives to love the man he's willing to suffer for."

Suddenly a voice breaks the conversation as Endeavor storms up to the two.

" You can not be serious Toshinori! You are going to allow this?! To let Izuku fall for the sake of loving that unworthy thug??!"

All Might turns around his eyes catching anger.

" You will show respect when you speak to me Enji, and I do believe you and that son of yours have caused enough trouble. I have not forgotten. The say in this decision is mine and mine alone and u have decided to do as Midoriya has asked."

Shoto steps up beside his father.

" Why?! Why would you let one of heavens most beautiful angels fall for that... that..."
