<sub>[ Perhaps you recognize this guy because he has two other identical brothers here. Perhaps you recognize him from watching some campy soap opera that he has acted in— you know his face, he's the guy that always dies in the background. If not, perhaps you're one of the unfortunate people who actually know him.. or are friends with him. Yikes. Either way, this feed features Karamatsu illuminated by candlelight, nothing more. He's wearing a closed bathrobe and.. nothing more, either. Well, just about. There's a red bow tied around his neck— if anyone cared to look further, they'll probably see it's also draped over his collarbone, implying he's wrapped up in a ribbon like a present underneath that robe.

Spoiler: he is.

But that's not it. A painful picture deserves some painful monologues, right? He parts his lips, expression appearing wistful. It's bad acting at it's finest. It's cringe worthy. ]</sub>

Ah, December. It is probably... my second favorite time of the year. It is a time for generosity, a time for giving. A time to reflect on your former self as the year draws to an end.. a time for.. love. _{[ TAKES A DRAMATIC SIP OF WINE. ]}
Where I am from.. we celebrate Christmas. It is.. expected, ah no, it is mandatory that love blossoms within the snowy air, shrouding all feelings of loneliness with feelings of adoration— feelings of belong. If you are lonely this month, I can offer you the greatest gift you can ever receive! Ah, are you ready? _{[ He sucks in a breath and then exclaims with a flourish: ]}
IT IS LOVE!!!
It is all the love that I could ever give! Simply accept and be my date on the 25th! I will shower you with gifts! I will shower you with.. romance!
_{[ His voice is cracking slightly from sounding so desperate, tears pricking the corner of his eyes. It's really pitiful. ]}

I will give you a night you won't ever forget! _{[ PROBABLY FOR THE WRONG REASONS... ]}
Say goodbye to lonely nights, hello to season delights!!

Or just, you know! Be honest about the hanky panky and don't try so hard, red bow boy.

_{[ This is honestly the best life advice anyone has ever bothered to give him. Who is this man? This shining beacon of wisdom? Not even his dad gives him advice like this! Allmight is speaking in a language he is familiar with-- random dramatic build up and bold lettering. ]}

I.. uh..
Yes sir!! I think.. I understand the reasoning for all of this!

[almightiness]

Excellent!! And if you ever need any additional help, there are books for this very thing to help boost your confidence in dating; never be afraid to look for aid in being the very best you can be!

[He gives TWO THUMBS UP, RADIATING LIGHT... SOMEHOW.]

I believe in you, young man! So believe in yourself as well!

[glitterpants]

_{[ HOW THE FUCK — ]}

I will! I do believe in myself! Believing in myself.. will that give me muscles like yours!?
_{[ the first thing he notices about this guy.. ]}

[almightiness]

[He gives a DEEP, BOISTEROUS LAUGH.]

These come from a lot of focus, determination, and plenty of pain — exercise and a particular diet, primarily! But trust me when I say they're the least important part of what makes someone a good hero, let alone a good man.

You're just fine as you are, as long as you're taking care of your body. Eat your veggies!!

[glitterpants]

_{[ Whoa, whoa.. WHOA.. back it up! All of that stuff he just said is good and all, but one thing sticks out to him the most: ]}

Wh.. what did you say? I'm.. "fine as I am?"

[almightiness]

Sure you are! Why wouldn't you be? Unless you secretly kidnap puppies or send people nasty text messages! [That unwavering smile is no doubt the most long-lasting and enduring smile. Lord. He laughs at his own joke, because IT'S FUNNY.] As long as you're striving to do your best and you're not hurting anyone, you should listen to your heart and be what it sings to you!

Right?

[glitterpants]

_{[ NOBODY EVER ENCOURAGES HIM ABOUT ANYTHING. Instantly, tears swell up. Good God. They blink away in an instant— he's a crybaby but it hasn't gotten to that point just yet. ]}

A-ah, that is just it, though! Sometimes.. when I simply walk by.. people point at me.. and they say painful! I think.. I am hurting people.. and that makes me a bad person!
_{[ oh nooo.. ]}

My brother says I should not change, though.. because that is what makes me me. However...
Do I really deserve your kind words, Muscle-san!?

[Oh, goodness, he's always got a few crybabies on his hands...

Midoriya had always been ready with the waterworks, bless his soul.]

Aaah, there's not always a perfect answer, my good boy! If you're unhappy, there's nothing wrong with changing things up for the better — but it should only be done for your own happiness, or if you want to try something new! The most important things in life are being kind, being happy, and being yourself, aren't they?

And so, Muscle-san says you deserve all the kindness in the world!

You should be happy!

And you should be yourself!!

[almightiness]

... Oh! And if any danger should arise outside of the dating variety — Fear not! Why, you ask?

Because I'm...



— and I'm more than happy to help you and the good people of Riverview any time!

Who might you be, young man?

_{[ Usually, he's somebody that is loud and filled with enthusiasm too, but this guy is really making him feel so small. He's also very impressed! So when he finally speaks, he just peeps out, almost coyly: ]}

Matsuno K-Karamatsu..
_{[ That's quite the opposite of how he was acting earlier, isn't it? ]}

[almightiness]

Matsuno Karamatsu...!!

[All Might looks pleased, flashing a thumbs up.]

A good name, with a good foundation!

From the 唐松 — like a great, unyielding larch tree! Don't let yourself relent, dear boy. You've got a lot of life to live, and a lot of time to decide just who you are. Enjoy your youth and focus on striving for peace within yourself.

By the time we speak again, I'll hope to see you've dried your eyes and asked someone for dinner and a movie! What do you say?

[glitterpants]

_{[ He thought that people considered him a bit much, but All Might seems to have him beat. Karamatsu silently wonders what other people say about him when he talks like this-- if they ridicule him like people do when he talks so.. Extra. Karamatsu salutes, taking All Might's words seriously. ]}

Ah, yes! I won't disappoint you.. I will make this my goal!
