[17] The Start Line

Perhaps it's because of all the tears blurring your vision and how worked up you are, but it takes you a few good moments to realize who's standing before you.

And for some reason, he looks every bit as surprised as you are.

"...All Might?"

It's him. The Number One Hero in the whole world, known also as the Symbol of Peace, who drives away villains and keeps evil at bay. Naturally, you've seen his face just about everywhere, and since you're best friends with Izuku, you're used to having to listen attentively whenever he goes on one of his long-winded hero rants. But you have to admit, you never expected to actually meet All Might in the flesh. He's also not smiling the way he usually does.

To put it simply, he looks flabbergasted.

"I-I am here," All Might repeats for the umpteenth time. He's not even sure why he bothers; you took care of the villain without needing any of his help. Seriously, that was some incredible strength you just displayed, and you look like you're no older than a middle-schooler.

Both of you proceed to just stare at each other, absolutely dumbstruck, but eventually, you manage to snap to your senses.

"All Might!" you cry out. "Oh, thank god you're here! My friend was attacked by a villain, and I think he's stopped breathing! He might need CPR!"

All Might scratches his cheek. Well, this is certainly a first. He's used to being relied on for mopping up villains or evacuating people from disaster sites, not basic first aid. Granted, he does know first aid, but that's beside the point.

He kneels down next to Izuku's unconscious body and checks his pulse, then takes a moment to listen to his breathing.

"The boy is fine," All Might says. "I can't hear anything irregular or concerning. My guess is that he must have just passed out from the shock and fright of the situation. Here, let me try to wake him up."

"Phew," you sigh. "And how will you wake him-?"

"Young man! Hello, young man? It's time to wake up now, alright?"

All Might starts repeatedly slapping Izuku's cheeks, which makes you reel back and let out an offended gasp. You were expecting a more gentle awakening, but then again, who are you to argue with the top hero?

Anyways, it clearly works, because hardly a few seconds later, Izuku's eyes open.

"There we go," All Might grins. "See, young lady? Everything's perfectly fine. Your friend's going to be alright-"

"Izuku!"

You barrel straight into Izuku's body, shoving All Might out of the way. He gapes in disbelief yet again. Seriously, what's going on here? Normally, people have a much more noticeable and enthusiastic response to meeting him for the first time, but you don't seem starstruck in the slightest.

All Might crosses his arms and watches as you squeeze the living daylights out of Izuku, asking him over and over again if he's sure he's okay.

Well, perhaps it's better this way. It's good to be concerned about your friend. His safety is clearly your top priority, as it very well should be. Besides, it's not like All Might does this job for the acclaim. It's actually for the best that you seem so indifferent to him. Now he can just collect the slime villain and turn him in to the police...

"Wait, is that All Might?!"

...looks like he spoke too soon.

Unlike you, who barely even took note of him at first, the formerly unconscious boy is now staring at him with pure adoration in his big green eyes. Izuku's excitement is clear as day. By the looks of things, he must be a big fan.
