DadMight seeing Deku after the war arc,#4,some tasty angst of Deku wanting to pass One for All to Mirio,and a talk about Nana :)

OH OKIE YEAH YEAH YEAAAAH I CAN DO THAT 

4. a hug after not seeing someone for a long time

“Thank you for letting me come to see him.”

Inko smiled at the tall man, lips curling up past the drag of stress and exhaustion. 

“I know how much you care about my son, All Might. He’ll be happy to see you. If either of you need anything, just give me a call. I shouldn’t be gone more than an hour.”

Two long, blonde strands flopped at his cheeks as Yagi nodded. 

“Yes, of course. Thank you again, Inko. Really.”

At the older man’s entrance into the room, Izuku made no attempt to wipe the tears from him cheeks. It was a silent cry, but it gave enough away to have Yagi racing forward until he reached his successor’s bedside. 

“My boy, what’s wrong? Are you in pain?”

Izuku turned away, forcing his eyes to trail after the nicks and notches that decorated the wall. 

“All M-might...”

“Young Midoriya... Izuku, please.Talk to me. Are you alright?”

“I... I got to talk to Aizawa-sensei today. After his physical therapy appointment, he came to see me.”

Yagi nodded at that, timid but hopeful. He had talked to Shouta as well and received his own run down on how things were going. Despite the circumstances, the other teacher had been in high spirits, voice lighter than Yagi had heard it since before the war. 

I’m just grateful to still be here, Yagi. I get to see Eri and Hizashi everyday, I’ll get to teach my kids again soon... I couldn’t ask for more than that. 

Yagi understood that better than anyone. The relief after the battle ends. The realization: I’m still alive, after the injuries have been dressed. He knew the feeling all too well.

And he feared Izuku, at the young age of sixteen, was becoming familiar with it, too. 

“Well that’s good, my boy! Did you enjoy seeing him?”

Finally, glistening green eyes met glowing blue. Yagi hated what stared back at him.

“All Might. Sensei’s eyes, his leg... I did that! How could I enjoy seeing him like that when it’s my fault?”

Yagi swallowed around a cough, forcing the rush of blood down until he could manage to speak again.

“Izuku, listen-”

“No, no All Might! You don’t understand! Nighteye was right. This quirk, your training, it’s all been wasted on me. I mean, Sensei... he’s just... And Gran Torino too! It’s not enough that you lost your master already, I took the only other mentor you had away from you. He died because of me, because I wasn’t good enough! How can you even stand to be around me when I—“

“Izuku,” Yagi’s voice was loud, ringing out enough to shake the walls, to puncture through the fog of Izuku’s hysteria, “my boy, please. None of this is your fault; I can promise you that. You did more than I, or anyone, have any right to ask of you so please, do not blame yourself.”

Second of silence passed between them before Izuku was overwhelmed. A loud sniffle rung out, paining Yagi enough for him to feel the throb in the wound at his side. 

“My boy, come here please. It’s alright; we’re going to be okay.”

Izuku folded into his arms easily, still so fragile and small. The boy wiped tears and snot into the shoulder of Yagi’s t-shirt with every jerk of his head. Still, Yagi held him close, cradling his head like one would a baby. Like a hero would his successor. Like a teacher would his student. 

A father, his son. 

When he felt a whisper press into the crook of his neck, where Izuku had settled, Yagi pushed the boy away just slightly. He wanted to hear him.

“What was that, Izuku?”

“You could still... Mirio, he still doesn’t have his quirk back and if you wanted him to have it... I would give it to him. It’d probably be better than way, I mean, Mirio, he-”

“Is a young man with great potential. He will continue to do amazing things in the future, I believe. But I already have a successor, Izuku. I’m positive that I made the right choice.”

Izuku was struck by a thought: The First User and Nana... they said the same thing... So why does it feel like I’m still failing?
