[Izuku ends up blinking back tears. The way Minato says it, like he believes that Izuku can reach that point means so much to someone who had grown up being told he amounted to nothing.]

I...I will. [Choked up as he is, Izuku's voice comes out small and wavering.]

Sometimes it feels like you believe in me more than I believe in myself.

[... Ha. Well. Minato can't say he's entirely surprised by that statement. With everything he knows about Izuku and what he's been through...?]

... It can be hard sometimes to believe in yourself, I think. When... you've been through all of the things you have.

But that's okay.

[He nods peacefully, firmly, and:]

For those times... when it's hard for you to believe in yourself, I'll believe in you. Until you can believe in yourself again. It's a promise.

[Minato's so kind, Izuku probably should've expected exactly that from him.]

Thank you... Arisato-kun. [He pauses a little, then gives a soft laugh.] I want to do the same for you, but I think you're way more assured in your own abilities than I am.

[... Well. Saving the world does tend to do that, somehow. It's okay, Izuku, you'll get there someday.]

I wasn't always, but... I guess after enough practice, anything gets easier, right?
