All Might x Student!Reader (Boku no Hero Academia)

Chapter 3 - Frozen Moments

As you strolled down the hallway behind All Might, a wave of unease settled in your stomach. What was going on? Had you used your Quirk without realizing it? You felt a tightening sensation in your chest as memories of Bakugou's earlier threats replayed in your mind. How could you just ignore his words? If All Might hadn't intervened, things might have escalated with Bakugou. The more you thought about it, the more it seemed likely that your power had activated. But why hadn't you felt anything this time?

Your teachers were right: your abilities were slipping out of your control, and that thought terrified you. What if you accidentally hurt someone one day? With a quiet sigh, you followed All Might, a flood of thoughts swirling in your mind.

Not long ago, he had been so close, his cologne lingering in the air and warmth radiating off him. You tried to slow your racing heart, but nothing seemed to work. You desperately wished he'd make the first move, anything to break the awkward tension. The fear of rejection held you back; after all, why would someone like him have feelings for you?

But then again, what if he did? The thought sent a rush of warmth through you, mingling with your anxiety. You stole a glance at him, watching his profile as he walked ahead, all muscles and confidence. He was the Symbol of Peace, a legend in his own right. You felt a wave of envy wash over you. Why couldn't you be more like him—confident, self-assured, capable of handling anything that came his way?

Suddenly, the corridor felt too quiet, too empty, as if the world had paused just for you two. You wondered if he could feel the tension hanging in the air, the unspoken words that lingered between you. Each step echoed in your mind, and you couldn't shake the image of what it might be like if he turned to you, his eyes filled with something other than friendly concern.

With a deep breath, you pushed those thoughts aside. You had to focus on the situation at hand. You didn't have time to get lost in daydreams when your Quirk was spiraling out of control. But as much as you tried to concentrate, the image of All Might's smile haunted your thoughts. What if this was your chance to finally connect with him? Your heart skipped at the prospect, but fear gnawed at you. Would you be able to keep your cool, or would you fumble and embarrass yourself like you always did?

As you approached the Headmaster's office, you steeled yourself for whatever awaited you inside. Whatever happened next could change everything.

So when you finally stepped into the Headmaster's office, your hands trembled, and your breath came in short bursts. Why was this so nerve-wracking? The Headmaster sat casually on the couch, sipping his afternoon tea. He smiled warmly when he noticed you.

"All Might, (L/N)-san, come in!" he called, gesturing toward two chairs in front of him. All Might nudged you gently forward, leaning in to whisper, "Don't worry; we just want to talk."

But your mind was elsewhere, still buzzing from where he had touched your shoulder. Your ear felt hot, likely flushed from his whisper, and without thinking, you tucked your (H/L) hair over it.

You nodded quickly and shuffled to a chair, sitting down with a sense of dread. After a moment, All Might settled beside you. An awkward silence stretched between you, the only sound being the Headmaster sipping his tea. You exchanged glances with All Might, waiting for someone to break the silence, but it felt like an eternity.

Suddenly, the door swung open, and in came Aizawa-sensei, your homeroom teacher, aka Eraser Head. His usual scowl made it clear he wasn't thrilled to be here, but that was just his style. He slid in like a shadow, standing behind you and waiting for someone to speak up.

"Well, since we're all here, let's get started," the Headmaster said, tilting his head slightly as if he were a curious cat. "(L/N)-san, I think you know why we called you in, right?"
