Work Text:
Izuku was not the best at hiding when he was distressed, especially from his father. Normally, this was a good thing. After all, his father always did his best to help Izuku work through his emotions and problems, and his support was one of Izuku’s most favorite things.
However, it was also the cause of the situation he was in now, which was, if nothing else, extremely mortifying .
Because here he was, watching helplessly, as his father chewed out the Number One hero on live fucking TV.
“As a man with influence you have clearly had absolutely no training on how to handle fans! The only reason this isn’t the worse case of both quirkest bias and disregard for a child’s general well-being among top heroes I’ve ever seen is because Endeavor exists!”
Tsunayoshi had All Might pinned under his ‘I’m disappointed because I know you could do better’ look, which Izuku did not pity the man for.
He was almost three minutes into The Rant, critiquing everything All Might had done in the last 5 hours, including what brand of milk he bought, which Izuku did not want to know why he knew something like that, (“ Really ? You somehow picked out the most unethical brand of milk you could possibly find? It’s almost impressive that you picked that one.”) when the other heroes that had been on the scene started to attempt their escape.

“If I see one more hero try to flee, I will hunt you down and find every last skeleton in your closets so help me god. You step one foot past that perimeter and your careers are ruined.”
Now, these heroes likely did not know who Tsunayoshi was, so they had no real reason to believe the man’s claims, but they all froze, subconsciously aware that they were under the gaze of a predator.
The Rant continued, and with every passing second All Might looked more and more embarrassed and uncomfortable. (Izuku did not blame him. He had seen even the Mighty Hibari Kyouya bend under that gaze, and as strong as All Might may be, he was not Hibari Kyouya.)
“Deku, what the fuck.” Kaachan whispered from Izuku’s right.
“My Dads a bit of a hardass, when it comes to abuse of power.” Is all Izuku whispers back.
“ What the fuck .” He says again, softly and with passion.
