Sunflowers (All Might/Toshinori Yagi x Reader)

A Blast From the Past

"Uhh..." Toshinori coughed blood and stumbled on holding his phone, "I didn't expect to see the news already found out about your pregnancy! I wonder who leaked it..."

I hummed thoughtfully, "Well, any of the students could have told someone..." I looked out of the window of the car, my mind feeling clouded with smog. I was buried in so many questions. I think all I've been doing lately is asking questions.

So, it was time to get some answers.

The massive building looked like an imposing structure. I've only ever seen pictures. Tartarus, the most high-security prison in the entire world. Created for the specific purpose of holding the most dangerous villains with the blackest hearts...Where All For One was being held.

Where my father's killer was being held.

I pressed my lips tightly together in a grimace, watching the crashing of water on the rocks in swells.

Toshinori grabbed my hand, and I quickly turned my head to look at him. "Hmm?"

"Hey...Are you nervous?" He squeezed my hand, the rubbery feeling of his hero suit almost unfamiliar on my skin. He was out of his sling, healing rather quickly due to Recovery Girl's Quirk and the most high-class medical techniques. Now, he wanted to appear

I softened my gaze, glancing around for a moment. "A little..."

"I'll be talking to him first...It should give you enough time to decide if you really do want to see him." He pulled me closer and kissed my temple.

I smiled listlessly, "I really want to understand the past...He's the key to it. I don't understand what it's like to talk to him and won't until I do myself, no matter how many times you've spoken to him...I just hope I get my answers."

Toshinori and I had made this appointment to speak with All For One a week ago, on a day we knew we had off. The hero course kids were all away right now, fighting to earn their provisional hero licenses.

And here we were...about to speak with the evil of evils.

Toshinori had an intense and frustrated feeling about him. He puffed out his cheeks and lamented strongly. "That man truly is terrible... Are you absolutely sure-?"

"I'm certain. I want to talk to him for the full ten minutes." I was shaking like a leaf, but I held a damnable look of determination in my eyes. I held my lips tight together. "I need to ask him certain things...that I need to know."

Toshinori nodded, looking over his shoulder at the entrance to the cell with worry, "Don't take anything he says at face value...He'll just want to mess with your head. Be strong, dear." He helped me stand up from the uncomfortable plastic waiting room chair.

"Wish me luck." I swallowed hard, my throat dry from the sheer terror of this entire situation. It was a different kind of nervousness...it felt like I was a prisoner walking into the lethal injection room.

Walking down a short hall, I stood in front of reinforced metal hanger doors. I kept my sharp glare, hoping I didn't come off as some sort of under-intimidating puppy to him. Not that I particularly cared about what he thought of me...

The doors opened. Behind a thick glass wall was All For One, missing all above his upper lip from the wound Toshinori inflicted upon him many years ago. His mouth twitched as he realized someone had entered the room. It was almost as if he was staring right back at me, even without any piercing eyes.

I cleared my throat, stepping in. My trembling legs carried me to the seat in front of the glass, the feeling akin to looking into a zoo enclosure at a truly dangerous animal.
