A Real Hero

He had a smatter of freckles and a smile that could light up a room.
More than that, though, was the fact that he had eyes just like Shouto's, darkened with the realities of life, but he didn't allow that to consume him.
And, for once in his life, Shouto is treated like a real person - not like his father's son.
He realizes then, when the boy speaks about heroics, that he'll fight to become a hero - he won't be like Endeavor, nor like All Might, or anyone else.
He'll be Shouto Todoroki.
