[Toshinori, predictably, because he sure is all over the news doing it-- throws himself back into his hero work the very next morning. The sun is hardly up before the first All Might headline is being drafted live on the scene of some unruly pair of villains trying to plant something in a train station-- and it only gets busier from there.
He thinks about Aizawa, sure, thinks about him a lot, actually, but there's little time to himself when he's working, and he's working most hours of the day lately. When he gets a free minute, a moment to stop and breathe, it's that evening in Aizawa's room he always comes back to; soft and quiet and intimate, relaxing in the exact way his everyday life is not.
Not to say he doesn't thrive under pressure, because he does. Each time All Might's grin is plastered all over the news it's broader, his heroics grander, as if daring villains to even try. When one gives up and turns himself in the moment All Might arrives on the scene, Toshinori feels something shift in the way the world thinks about heroes. Minute, sure, tiny - but it's there.
It has its ups and downs, though; the very next day another villain appears spouting nonsense about how All Might really inspires villains to try harder, and that one he makes short work of with the same smile - but he feels a sick dread settle in his stomach. He's glad he works alone; no one to prod him about the change in his demeanor, unnoticeable to anyone who isn't really paying attention.
It's only a few days since Sunday but it feels much longer, and All Might feels like he's been awake for weeks when he shows up at the bank. There's some kind of blob monster quirk and the villains around it- its... keepers? Or are they its cronies? Who knows-- for All Might, those details aren't as important as the immediate action.
If only heroes had a social media feed, they wouldn't double-book like this.
Either way; All Might is here!! and everyone knows it already, several civilians on the floor of the bank cry out in relief, and several of the gangsters actually drop their bags and turn to approach him. So they're the reckless types, wholly convinced All Might is not nearly as unstoppable as the press claims— and they come at him at once with their quirks while two others continue their looting, out of reach beyond the acid... thing.
So, he'll keep these guys occupied, which shouldn't take too long.]
