Everyone wished him luck, saying they'd be rooting for him from the crowd of people. Then, they ran out the door, waving. Then they were gone and it was Deku's turn to leave the dormitory. Deku took a deep breathe. He turned and walked towards Mr. Aizawa, Todoroki right beside him. Mr. Aizawa held the door as the two teenagers stepped outside, walking towards a limousine. The boys got inside the black vehicle with their teacher and rode to down town in silence.
When they arrived, there was a large crowd of reporters with cameras and microphones, ready to catch every moment on tape. A mass crowd of millenials were standing behind the reporters. As they stepped out of the limousine, everyone turned to them. Deku took yet another deep breathe and starting walking towards a large stage at the center of the crowd. He was shaking and he didnt even realise it. Todoroki scooped up Deku's hand.
"It'll be ok. I'll be there the whole time." Todoroki smiled.
"And it looks as though the Chosen One has a boyfriend! We do not know which UA student that we see here today is the Chosen One, but we will!" A reporter said into a microphone, gesturing at the two boys for the camera.
Todoroki and Deku kept walking, Mr. Aizawa just a few paces behind them.
Eventually they reached the large stage and the boys stepped up. The walked to the corner and stood there, their hands hugging tight. Mr. Aizawa walked up to the podium at the center of the stage.
"As many of you may know, All Might has reached his defeat. Had he not found his successor when he did, the world would become chaos. All Might's funeral will be held soon. If you do not receive an invite within the next two days, you are not allowed to attend and you will watch the ceremony on TV. Some select media stations will be allowed to enter the funeral.
If you get invited, do not boast about it. This is no such event to boast about attending." Mr. Aizawa said sternly. "Now, for the Chosen One."
Mr. Aizawa stepped away from the podium and walked towards his two students. In turn, they walked towards the podium, still hand in hand. Once they neared the podium, Todoroki pulled Deku into a hug, pausing the reveal. He released Deku's hand.
"I'll be right behind you." He whispered, releasing Deku from the hug and letting him reach the podium.
"U-uhm, hello." Deku said nervously. He took a deep breathe and told himself he could do it. "My name is Deku, and I am the Chosen One." He tried not to let the large gasp from the crowd discourage him. Clearly everyone was expecting it to be Todoroki. "I may only be in my second year at UA, but I can be the next All Might right now. Class 1-A has been attacked by villains on multiple occasions, causing everyone here to lose trust in the great UA, but think. Has the League of Villains ever actually succeeded at anything they've attempted to do? They attacked us at the USJ with the intention of killing All Might. They attacked us at a training camp with the intention kidnapping some of the more powerful students and making them join the League of Villains. Yes, they retrieved one student, but there were many more on the list of who to kidnap, and Bakugou never even joined them. Yesterday they attacked with the soul intention of taking me. As you can see, they clearly failed once again. But this time, we gained custody of over 100 villains in the League, including the most powerful ones. Their leader is under our posession as well. With me here, I will try my best and I will bring down the crime rates that spiked since All Might became weaker during his second battle with All For One. I will prove myself, no matter how scrawny I look. I will show you that All Might made no mistake in making me his successor. Any questions?"
Hundreds of reporters raised their hands for questions. "You, reporter with the spiky blue hair." Deku said, pointing to a reporter.
"Were you and All Might close?"
"Yes. He was like the father I never had."
"What happened to your dad? Who is your mom?" The same reporter with spiky blue hair asked.
"I dont know what happened to my dad but I can only assume he is out of the picture. My mother's name is Inko. That's all I will give about her. Next question."
All the reporters raised their hands again.
"You with the dark brown pixie cut."
"What is your status with Endeavor's son? How long have you been together."
"We are dating. That's our status. We've been dating for roughly an hour. Next question.
This went on for what seemed like forever. Todoroki smiled everytime Deku got a question about their relationship. Eventually they got towards the end of the little Q&A. One more question and they were done and could go back to the UA campus.
"You with the purple tuxedo."
"Can you and Endeavor's son kiss? Just for everyone's sake?"
Deku turned his head around nervously, looking at Todoroki and then Mr. Aizawa.
"You do not have to do it, Midoriya. You can refuse." Mr. Aizawa said, walking up to Deku.
But Deku was determined. He looked at Todoroki and nodded. Tororoki walked up to Deku and wrapped one arm around the boy's waist, the other placed in Deku's messy hair. Todoroki drew him in and their lips touched, a loud cheer from the crowd.
When their lips parted, Deku looked back at his audience. Before he could end the event, Todoroki leaned closer to the microphones on the podium.
"My name is Shoto Todoroki. Do not call me the son of Endeavor. He is a bastard. I will never see him as a father and I will never see myself as his son." Said Todoroki, then taking a step back from the podium and standing behind Deku.
"I'm afraid I have to get back to UA, everyone. I'm so sorry to have to end this event here, with so many questions not answered! Good bye!" Deku stated into the microphone as Todoroki grabbed him by the wrist and dragged him away. Deku waved eagerly at the crowd, but once he was off the stage, he started walking side by side with Todoroki.
"You did amazing back there. I was so proud of you." Todoroki whispered. Deku blushed.
"Deku! Over here! It's me, Uraraka!" A brown hair girl shouted from somewhere in the crowd. Then all of Class 1-A appeared and greated the couple and Mr. Aizawa in the path.
"You did so amazing back there, Deku!" Uraraka said.
"I agree. I am very pleased to call myself your friend." Iida smiled.
"Yeah you looked so cool! The ay you answered those questions and you were so confident!" Kirishima boasted. He pretended to wipe a tear from his eyes as he chuckled, "It was so manly!"
All of Class 1-A then filed into the limousine, pictures still being taken of the heroes. Deku couldnt stop smiling, even as they got back to the campus. Deku may have been grieving about All Might deep inside, but at least he could still smile. It was worth it all.
