"What adventures do you think we'll have today, Kaachan?" Izuku leaned forward in his desk in anticipation. Katsuki leaned back with his feet on the desk- disregarding the pecking shouts Iida sent in his direction. Even though people were giving them both side glances, they all kept their distance. The redhead, Kirishima, tried to get close a couple times but a couple other classmates pulled him aside.

It made Izuku a little sad that no one wanted to be his friend at first, but Greed promised him, mentally, that he'll make some more friends soon.

The sound of Katsuki scoffing brought him back to reality. "I could care less what happens, but as long as you're happy then I'm content"

Izuku smiled and his freckles shined like sunflowers. "Ah, Kaachan! You do care about me!" Izuku came in for a hug from behind but Katsuki sat up so fast his desk rattled.

"I may care but I never said I do physical affection"

Izuku mumbled something and then rested his head in his arms. Katsuki was about to ruffle his hair when Izuku turned his head towards the door. Katsuki knew when Izuku made sudden movements, it was one of his brothers telling him to be vigilant. He took a deep breath and faced the door in silence.

Students watched their eerie stillness with caution. Soon the chatter in the room dialed down as Izuku stared at the door and Katsuki watched alongside him.

"Bakugo? What's going on?" Kirishima asked from the back of the classroom. Katsuki didn't physically acknowledge him and was about to ask again when he spoke.

"Wait a little longer and you'll find out"

The whole class dismissed all chatter and found their seats. Some watched the door, watched Katsuki and Izuku, or looked at their other classmates in disbelief.

The door suddenly started rattling from an attack of oncoming sound vibrations.

"I am coming through the door like a normal person!" All Might shouted as he pushed aside the gentle doors with a mighty thrust. He was mentally taken aback as all the students were staring at him- like they were anticipating his entrance. He shrugged it off as the weirdness died and was replaced with innocent awe from the children. He heard them praise him and marvel at his Silver Age costume that he wore to class. He strutted towards the front of the classroom and scanned the room for potential heroes.

He saw star potential and smiled at the curiosity and excitement that was orchestrated in the room.

But, his joy didn't last long.

As the children chatted amongst themselves about the legend in their presence; two students just stared at him with stone cold eyes.

Bakugo Katsuki and Midoriya Izuku.

At first, he saw Midoriya Izuku showcase a similar reaction to the rest of the children in the classroom but after a while began studying him. His radiant eyes turned into the same judgmental eyes his friends wore.

His mind went back to that fateful evening under the bridge; where Midoriya healed him of a wound that was slowly claiming his life. He would never forget such kindness the two boys released.

He would also remember the night terrors that plagued his mind since that day. He remembers that cold stare, and how the tools felt when plunged into his cold body. He'd wake up with his bones shaking and his body remembering all the tortures it went through the night before.

But not a single scratch on him.

All Might closed his eyes on the mental images of him screaming in pain and opened them to a class full of eager students.
