"Spill your truth, about Midoriya."

"HAAAAAHAHAHA!" All Might bellowed in laughter as his right hand came up to grab both temples. "You really had me worried there old friend! I was beginning to think you were going to try and push me into revealing the secret recipe for my famous Mighty Hot Chocolate, you just wanted to know more about the boy! Silly me."

"Quiet!" Endeavor hissed. "Keep your idiotic faćade for the eyes of the public, you'll waste no second of my time tonight. Answer! You, and Midoriya."

"What is there to explain really? He's one of my biggest fans who's a student at the same school I teach, our Quirks are similar, I advocated to help look after the boy in ways that might help reduce the backlash, what else is there to say?"

"You lie! That's not sufficient to share with him the privacy of my family's history. Spare me your games, and tell the truth!"

"What good will knowing the connection between the boy and myself do for you? From what I've been seeing so far, I think you've been doing a much better job than I have when it comes to his control."

Endeavor squinted. "You've been spying on us."

"Indeed, not because I didn't think you couldn't handle the task, but because I was curious." All Might confessed. "I was wondering how the boy would fare underneath a tough mentor like you, part of me believed he would have quit after the first day and sought somebody else. But on the next day, he came back to that very spot and continued with his lessons. You might not see it Endeavor, but the boy. He's desperately eager to learn from you."

"Hmph, why wouldn't he, seeing as how he comes from the same batch of students having to progress underneath your watch. Who are you to think you could teach at U.A without any prior experience? That smile of yours grants you no advantage."

"Unfortunately it doesn't, even I'm not immune to saying I haven't made any mistakes this year. But, for the both of us, we're learning. That's where experience comes from after all."

"This, this is no mere coincidence and you can't convince me otherwise. You, suddenly deciding to take up employment at U.A AND, out all of the years possible for it to happen, it's at a time where Midoriya is enrolled for his first year? Attempt to hide the truth all you want All Might I know there's a hidden truth to all of this."

"Yeah, I get it, me deciding to become a teacher the same year that Midoriya's making his debut does smell pretty fishy I won't lie." All Might replied. "But believe me when I say that it wasn't planned, really. Things, just so happened to line up the way they did and now we have a picture that's being painted as something else. I think it's just Midoriya who's trying to act to much like me that you're reaching for something."

Endeavor growled. "Try to pull the wool over my eyes all you want you bastard, I know what's there. As a matter of fact, I know EXACTLY what's going on here."

"Hm?"

"You and your public secrecy, not an ounce about who or what you are behind that smile is known to the public not even a word. No spouses, no next of kin, no family no any sort of records that tie anything back to your name. You've kept everything about yourself under such lock and key that the media froth at the mouth just to catch even the slightest glimpse beyond the curtain, of course, who wouldn't given the reputation you've made. But while those idiots have been looking elsewhere for anything you've been carrying on right underneath their noses with something far bigger than anybody could ever think you'd have. Nobody would ever think All Might would be the one to do so but nonetheless, it's here now, isn't it?!"
