Rumors [Yagi Toshinori/All Might]

Requested by @JustMeWoo, I hope you'll like it ^^

You always lived your life in a way that made you feel like a side character of your own story. That was just you were content, putting others on the first place while forgetting about yourself. You were constantly trying to satisfy everyone, to help in any way you could. Many people told you that you were too kind for your own good. They were absolutely right, but you only felt satisfied when you behaved that way. You were happy only when everyone around you was smiling. Your way of thinking and behaving often caused you to be easily overlooked, this was also fine with you. You avoided attention as much as possible.

Then it's understandable why it was very surprising for you to wake up one day to find photos of yourself all over the news and in TV. Magically, overnight you became the talk of the town. Well, the only magic involved was the man standing right next to you on all of those photos. All Might. The symbol of justice and peace. The reports did a lovely job though, creating a beautiful collage tracking your yesterday's date, your first "official" one. You turned the volume on as you curled up in your sofa. It couldn't hurt to watch a bit, right? The show host was talking with the guests about each of them, guessing what was happening but they never got it quite right.

The first picture was taken near the subway station where he was waiting for you with a single white rose, the same flower that was currently sitting in a glass on your kitchen table. You remembered times when a whole bouquet of flowers used to be there, sighing happily. Toshinori finally listened to your pleas and settled for something simpler. You never were one to enjoy getting gifts, especially expensive ones, always feeling that the bond you shared with people was more important. Yet he wouldn't hear of it. You smiled fondly. "White rose, because your love is just as innocent as the color." He said yesterday while giving you the flower, a hint of pink colored your cheeks.

The second photo was taken through a window so it was slightly blurred. It showed you laughing, hand covering your mouth while he was talking sitting on a chair opposite of you in a little café, making grand gestures. It was a good one. They caught the moment when he was telling you about his students at U.A. You especially like to hear about one kid named Bakugou, he seemed to be quite a madman. You missed being their age, it was strange to feel like this when your age still sported the twenty in it but in your defense, things were easier then. You wouldn't turn back time if you had the chance though, you were satisfied with your life the way it was now, especially with a man like Toshinori by your side.

But surely enough, something had to go wrong the moment you thought just that. "They look like a happy couple, right?" said one of the guests on the show. You nodded, smiling from ear to ear. Well, you felt a bit guilty, agreeing without Toshinori's opinion. Well, whatever, this once you'd allow yourself to be selfish and not care about his thoughts. "They do but you know what they say, even the sun sets in paradise," said the host and the smile froze on your lips. You frowned and raised the volume, for once actually interested what do the people on TV have to say. "I don't wanna spread rumors," said the lady with a fake smile, "but there are some who feel like our dear All Might is only being used. I mean, I don't want it to be true," she huffed with laughter, "but she's just so young, what else could possibly be her motivation? If she truly had feelings for him, she'd tell to wait for her until she learns how to take care of herself," both the audience and guests bursted out laughing. "Yeah, I guess you're right, like this was what I thought when I first saw-" you turned the TV off and threw the controller away. Your hands were shaking slightly in distress. How could they say something like this? Not once did the thought about his fame or money cross your mind. It was a thing that you literally couldn't care less about! You shuffled on your spot nervously and bit your lip. You replayed all the occasions when someone looked at you yesterday during the date. Were they all thinking like this? Were they all against your relationship? You were prepared for some hate but not for this. You expected some mean comments but not for people outright saying you weren't enough for him.
