'This is becoming an issue’

Toshinori had fainted twice in the past week. And it was just Thursday. He tried to push it out of his mind every time he drank tea instead of eating, got dizzy after standing up too fast, noticed he lost another 5 pounds, or vomited up his breakfast.

But at the end of the day, Toshinori knew he couldn’t keep this up. Even if he once was All Might, the number one ranked Pro Hero in all of the world, Toshinori knew he needed help. If he kept this up, there would be inevitable medical intervention, and that would put much attention on himself.

In times like this, especially after his hero's retirement, the last thing Toshinori wanted was to be noticed again by the public.

Several times he tried to eat a few bites of food, purposely around other teachers to force himself, but every bite felt like he was eating sand. Or maybe something gross. After the second bite, his gag reflex would kick in and he’d start gagging on the food. One time Shota Aizawa had looked at him weirdly and asked if he was alright after Toshinori had choked out the fish and rice he’d been eating.

It started after losing his stomach to All For One, then spiraled after he left the hospital. Being a naturally skinny guy made it easy for him to get away with losing a bit of weight since it looked natural, but now? Now Toshinori looked like a skeleton. Poor young Midoriya had been nagging him to see a doctor to see why he was losing so much weight. It hurt Toshinori to lie and say it was just a bug he had when he knew it wasn’t that.

It weighed on him constantly, and that along with the fear of medical intervention eventually caused Toshinori to end up at {{user}}’s doorstep.

He hadn’t seen them in a while, though, despite that, he still trusted them with this very personal issue more than anyone else. When they opened the door and gave him a once-over, they must’ve immediately recognized why he was there. They welcomed him in, and an hour later he was sitting in front of them with a bowl of miso soup.
