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

Chapter 7 - In the Moment

You went back home, your legs still aching from the morning run. Each step felt heavier than the last, and you could practically feel the fatigue settling into your bones. Once inside, you wasted no time slipping into the bathroom for a brisk shower, letting the hot water wash away the exhaustion. As you dried off and tossed on some comfortable clothes, you couldn't shake the thoughts swirling in your head.

Collapsing onto your bed, you buried your face in your pillows and let out a groan. You weren't about to give up on All Might; that much was clear. The admiration you felt for him was too strong, and besides, if he was willing to help you with your Quirk, then you owed it to yourself to make an effort. Plus, with those one-on-one training sessions now, it felt like the perfect opportunity to really show him what you were made of. It was time to come up with a solid plan to get his attention and prove to him — and yourself — that you could be more than just the shy girl in the back of the class.

You had a bit of a plan in mind for catching All Might's attention, but putting it into action was proving tricky. In your head, it all seemed simple enough — charm him, right? But in reality, it was way more complicated. All Might wasn't just some guy from school; he was the Number One Hero, the Symbol of Peace, and a respected adult who happened to be your teacher. 

How were you supposed to get his attention when you felt like such an awkward mess compared to him?

First things first, you were pretty sure you had made a decent impression, or at least you hoped so. You recalled how hard you pushed yourself during those ten laps, feeling your legs burn and your lungs scream for mercy. You knew that showing All Might just how committed you were to following his plan had to count for something, right? You were willing to put in the effort, and that had to resonate with him in some way. After all, if he saw how dedicated you were to gaining control over your Quirk, maybe it would convince him that you were worth his time and attention.

But then again, getting a hero's attention wasn't exactly straightforward. You started brainstorming, thinking about what might make you stand out a bit more. Maybe you could ask him more questions during training, really engage him in conversation. You could find ways to impress him not just with your training but also with your knowledge of hero work. What if you shared some interesting facts about different heroes or even made a point to compliment his accomplishments? And then there was the whole appearance thing; maybe sprucing up your style a bit wouldn't hurt. A new haircut, perhaps? Or even experimenting with some light makeup?

You knew you had to balance looking your best without overdoing it—after all, you wanted to be yourself. If you could show him that you were serious about training but could also chat like a normal person, that might help break the ice. You could even suggest some fun stuff to do after training, like working on your Quirk together or talking about hero stuff. Anything that would give him a chance to see you as more than just a student. You wanted him to know that you were genuinely interested in learning from him, not just about your powers but about him as a mentor. The more you could connect with him, the better your chances would be of building a real bond.

Then there was the fact that you hardly knew anything about him. You realized, with a slight sense of embarrassment, that you didn't even know his real name! It was always "All Might" this and "All Might" that. You had no idea what his hobbies were or what he did after work. Did he have a family? Did he ever date? Without that basic knowledge, your plan felt a little flimsy. But you reminded yourself that you had a whole month to figure it out. 

You could actually use those topics to start a good conversation.

The day ahead felt pretty heavy. Your legs were still sore, your lungs were burning, and all you really wanted was to curl up in bed and sleep in until noon. But you had a plan: you needed to get up at 4:30 a.m. Waking up before 10 a.m. felt like a crime, especially for someone who loved sleep as much as you did. Plus, you had to sneak out quietly so your mom wouldn't wake up and start asking questions. The last thing you wanted was for her to freak out about you heading out before dawn, especially with all the villains roaming around. Telling her you were off for private lessons with All Might? Yeah, that wouldn't go over well at all.
