[He smiles. It makes his heart swell to hear that response from Izuku. Of course, their bond through One for All runs far deeper than any theory Shouto could come up with, but to an outsider, it would seem like the easiest way to make sense of it.]
I'm sorry. I should have mentioned I knew about you and young Todoroki sooner, but I wasn't sure if you wanted to talk about it.
You don't need to apologize, All Might! I would've mentioned it, but sometimes it still feels really surprising... and new. [Yes, even after months.]
Actually... I guess it's a little ironic, that people like Shouto would think we're family. [Izuku looks up at All Might hesitantly now.] Even though I've been learning from you for so long, I realized... there's a lot I still don't know about you.
[Of course there isn't much he knows about him, not with those starry-eyed fanboy tendencies. Though he won't spell that out for Izuku, exactly -- perhaps, like with the practical exam, it's something better left for him to figure out for himself.
However, he does offer the following--]
Well, I can't answer questions if they aren't asked! What do you want to know?
Um.. your civilian name? [Though Izuku's talked himself into doing this, asking still makes him cringe. He knows he has a good reason to ask, but it just still feels so intrusive!]
You've been using it to introduce yourself while you look like this, right? [Izuku rubs at the back of his neck.] I just thought... you know. It might be a good idea for me to know, so I don't slip up...again.
