Little did Class 1-A know, All Might was watching from afar. He was starting to like the student young Midoriya suggested more and more. Dirty blonde hair, tall, and the quirk Midoriya admires so much. Simply called “Explosion”.

He sees Aizawa noticing him. He approaches All Might.

Aizawa: “Oh? Spying are we? Let me guess, playing favourites already?”

All Might: “Really? What makes you say that?”

Aizawa: “I may be sleep deprived but I’m not stupid. There’s also the fact that quite a few teachers did this in my time as a student here. Please. Feed my curiosity. Who is it?”

All Might: “Well, I’m not playing favourites but, I’m intrigued by Midoriya’s quirk. It doesn’t have a name yet it is so strong and has so many applications. He has strength, speed, weapons, just overall power. Then again, it also, feels different...unnatural.”

Aizawa: “Ah that. I could’ve sworn that I used my quirk on him to keep him from literally throwing himself yet, it didn’t work. I could see why you would think that. Maybe I'm just getting old”

*time skip brought to you by Shigaraki realising that chap sticks exists*

After the test set by Aizawa, the whole class went to the cafeteria to get lunch. Everyone was impressed by Bakugo. The rest of the class had also worked up the courage to talk to Izuku. They were all praising those two because of their powerful quirks and Deku had never felt this accepted among peers before. He was happy, he was content. Bakugo was feeling a bit jealous but he didn't let it show. After all, he doesn't want to ruin his best friend's moment now does he? In all that commotion, there was Todoroki sitting in the corner of the table. He was still observing Midoriya, slightly ticked off because he still couldn't understand his weakness.
A few minutes later, All Might invited Deku to have lunch with him. When they were alone, All Might asked for Deku’s final answer about One for All.

Deku: “As I have said before. I don’t think myself worthy. Please, talk to Bakugo about this."

Ethan: ‘Oh always playing the morally righteous role. *chuckle* I like you kid.’

A few minutes later, they both return to the cafeteria. But then, All Might calls over Bakugo.

All Might: “I need to talk to you, young Bakugo.”

Katsuki was perplexed. Why did All Might need to talk to him? What were Deku and him talking about a few minutes ago?

Kacchan: “Coming. Just a sec”

He then turns to Deku who had just walked over to him.

Kacchan: “What’s going on?”

Deku: “You’ll see. Just go talk to him.”

Deku was trying to hide a smile but Kacchan noticed.

Kacchan: “I hate it when you go all mysterious on my ass”

With a sigh, he joins All Might and they walk off. Bakugo was wondering what Deku’s reaction was all about. He also felt tension in the air, seemingly coming from All Might.

The pair walked into an empty room. Bakugo stared out the giant glass window. The tension in the air was getting to him. He could feel himself getting nervous. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw smoke. He turns to face it.

Bakugo: "Hey All Mi-"

He isn’t staring at All Might any more. It was a pale skeletal man.

Bakugo: “What the fuuuuu....”

Toshinori: “Whoa calm down. It’s still me. All Might. I need to tell you something.”

Bakugo: "I'm having a hard time believing you right now. So go on. Explain."

He then starts explaining One for All to Bakugo as he’s just standing there, slightly woozy, taking it all in. All Might shows his battle scar and explains the reason behind it. He explains how his quirk can be inherited.

Toshinori: “I had offered this to Midoriya but he refused.”

At hearing this, Bakugo’s awe and curiosity faltered.

Bakugo: “Are you saying I’m just a shitty substitute for that damn nerd? Is that all I am to you?”

Toshinori: “You didn’t let me finish. He said that he doesn’t deem himself worthy enough for the power. In fact, he’s the one who said that you would be a better successor than him. Young Midoriya wants YOU to have this. And if he believes in you, so do I.”

Bakugo swallowed hard. He wasn’t expecting anything of this sort. But the number 1 hero and his best friend wanted him to have this quirk. How could he let them down?

Bakugo: “I....I accept...”
