If you’re still taking asks for the 5 hcs of an AU…! AfOhiko AU where Gran Torino actually just stole the design of Captain Hero for his costume (changing the color palette only), figuring that he’d never linger anywhere long enough for people to put two and two together. It’s old-school, and really, kinda dated. Except All for One notices him, and proceeds to make things weird.

*points and laughs at the nerd*

1- Sorahiko's path to heroism was... Unconventional. By the time he designed his hero outfit, he didn't exactly have any designs of his own to show off his own personality or mission or style. But, Sorahiko's anyways been a fan of the classics. Classic cars, classic movies, and especially classic comic books. So he just takes Captain Hero's costume and picks the colors he would rather wear, calls it a day.

2- No one else noticed. No other heroes, no civilians, no villains. Not En, not even Nana. It's not exactly a poplar comic, and he changed enough, and he doesn't stay and chat or get caught on camera very often. Until one day, when En was doing something Sorahiko would call "the height of stupidity", and Sorahiko ran in, grabbing and shoving him out of the way of AfO's attack. And AfO stares, and tries to figure out why this guy looks familiar, he's pretty sure he hasn't seen that quirk or face before. It buys them enough time to flee.

3- the next time AfO's seen him, he's put it together. A Captain Hero recolor! His little brother's favorite comic hero (used to be his favorite too) protecting his quirk's current user. Must be the universe's idea of a joke. He addresses both of them- "One For All, Captain Hero."- and that makes both start. AfO doesn't really bother to remember many hero names. AfO usually just goes by quirk, if that. AfO should be calling him "that pest" or "guard dog" or "Jet" or maybe "Torino."

Not "Captain Hero." En has no clue what that even means.

Sorahiko's soul is trying to leave his body.

That confirms to AfO that it was on purpose on this hero's part, and he says he hasn't read that comic in a while. Perhaps it's due for a reread. (He doesn't mention he never did finish it, after his brother told him too, then died.)

Sorahiko can only come up with the words "Well, it's a classic."

AfO agrees. "Does it also get better with age?"

The awkwardness manages to increase. Nana causes a distraction, and they flee.

4- This just gets worse every time they meet. Sorahiko isn't sure if he's being mocked, flirted with, or just confusing AfO. He's called "Captain Hero" each time they meet. En's given up on trying to understand. Nana decides to hunt down the comic and give it a read at this point. Sorahiko considers changing his costume, but 1- he really doesn't want to let AfO win, 2- idk it seems to be kinda keeping them all alive right now so

5- Nana is the first one to point out that AfO has been slowly changing his look though- little things, one by one. He's taking more inspiration from the Demon King in the Captain Hero comics. (Sorahiko noticed it too, but was refusing to voice it.)

Sorahiko is pushed past his limit by that. He goes on patrol alone, hoping to get a chance for AfO to see him without threat to OfA, so he can just bluntly and directly ask "Ok, dude, what's your deal?"

AfO gives him that chance, and just smiles and shrugs. "Just want to get to know someone with a common interest better."

#they're both disasters #somehow. this ends up with them.......#well anyway great news that sorahiko has further distracted AfO from OfA holders that's neat #and he's past cringe culture and doesn't even change his costume after..... whatever they have.... breaks up? takes a break??#a lot of afohiko aus haunt my mind #this one... is gonna haunt me in a slightly different way than most i think #but haunted all the same #afohiko #granafo #shih shoulda had it #pocket talks to people #ask game
