[Well now he's just really embarrassed. In a good way, he thinks, maybe? He twists his pen idly between his fingers and squirms, making a face at his notebook.]
That's... very you, Midoriya-kun. Tensei is a... bit atypical of a sibling, perhaps? He is my only brother so I suppose I don't have a reference point, but I think my closeness to him is strange given he is fifteen years older than me. [He laughs, quietly, nudging his glasses back to the bridge of his nose.] Perhaps that's why I am so terrible at acting my age? But given our family has always been in heroics, Tensei tended to be who I was able to spend the most time around, with as busy as everyone was.
I mean...I'm an only child, so I don't think I know much either in terms of reference points. I don't think it's strange to be close to someone fifteen years older than you, though. I mean, I...I like to think I'm...maybe close to All Might...
[This precious shrub. Tenya selects one of his books and stretches his arm across the space between their chairs, gently popping him on the head with it.]
I will be sure you introduce you to him when the opportunity arises. And your closeness with All Might is not something you should worry about, I think-- it's quite obvious he cares for you greatly.
[He is baby. Iida laughs, enough that his shoulders shake for a moment, and reaches out to set his hand on top of Izuku's head.]
I didn't say that, I said that All Might is startlingly tall. He is, what, over seven feet? That would make anyone look small in comparison. [But also you're tiny, broccoli.]
His height combined with his personality does lend itself to a more reassuring air than an intimidating one you may otherwise get from someone of his height.
[Like, say, Endeavor.]
With your specific knowledge of him, it's a wonder you've never been on trivia shows with him as a subject. You'd be a shoe-in.

[ WELL ]
It sort of seems like it might be awkward now...

[He rubs at his chin.]
Well you're still easily his Number One Fan as far as I'm concerned.

[ Probably Kacchan would be at the front of that line... ]

I would hesitate to declare that, or you might have a line out the door.
