Toshinori’s face softened and he reached over with his free hand to gently ruffle the green hair, his heart squeezing as he recalled the last time he had been able to do so; how much smaller Young Midoriya had been then. Truly on the outside his successor had changed a bit but on the inside he was still the same, clearly hiding his true feelings to kill his torment and play the part he was called to. The kind, selfless boy he’d accepted was truly dealt a cruel hand of fate that was surely going to suck the life out of him.

“It’s more than enough. You’ve done plenty.” He reached over abruptly, pulling the kneeling youth into a hug, squeezing him as he felt as if his own heart would break, tears stinging his eyes. Izuku seemed startled by the touch but did not resist, instead returning the embrace with trembling hands, tears running down his freckled face. “I’m proud of you, Young Midoriya. No matter what the world thinks, you are a hero. An unsung one. I know the road will be hard for you, but I hope One For All can be helpful to you. Make it your own, be the greatest successor.”

Illustration for my fanfic "Farewell to a Hero" that was a long endeavor oh man. I didn't keep track of the hours I spent on this thing but I did this over a span of a few months between working on it on and off. So many things I struggle with I had to tackle in this but I'm happy with how it came out. IT'S DONE! HUZZAH!

Got this done in time for my fic on Ao3 reaching 1,500 hits! <3

This takes place in my AU for reluctant villain Izuku/Deku based on my friend chaosphoniex 's fic "Ultimatum" My first time drawing Toshinori as well as Defcon Izuku. Izuku's hair is slowly fading back to green here or else it'd be all white due to his activated Quirk.

MHA: Farewell to a Hero
“I was wondering if I would ever get a proper goodbye.”
Toshinori Yagi, the former Number One Hero known as All Might, lay in his bed, a tired yet relieved smile on his face. He didn’t need too to see to know that a presence had entered the room; even Quirkless and retired he still had some honed senses. He opened his blue eyes to peer at the guest who had materialized inside his hospital room, avoiding use of the door.
“It is good to see you. I was hoping you would come, Young Midoriya.”
Standing some feet away from him with a taunt expression was indeed the youth known as Izuku Midoriya. He was different from when the retired hero had last seen him; he was a bit taller, his face less rounded, sharper and mature but still sporting iconic freckles; his messy green hair slightly shorter while he had developed more muscle on his arms. His garb matched his matured figure, sporting a white dress shirt rolled up to his elbows, black suit pants and a black busin

Major thanks to my mentor mayshing as always for her tips on stuff with experimenting. I like recreating the "anime screenshot" look for these types of stories.
