[messianic]

[... Minato willingly squeezes Izuku's hands, meeting his gaze with a small smile. There's a hint of bittersweetness to it--it would be a lie to say it wasn't hard, after all.

But even so...]

It was my choice.

I don't regret anything that happened...and I don't regret my situation, either. Okay? So... don't worry too much over it.

[inheritance]

I feel like that might be asking a little too much.

[Izuku gives him a watery smile. Minato's his friend...how could he not worry?]

At least you're here right now. That makes it... a little easier to swallow.

[messianic]

[... Ha... Minato just squeezes Izuku's hand again, gently.]

...Yeah.

I'm right here right now.

And I'm not going anywhere.

[At least... not yet.]

[inheritance]

[He'll get a gentle squeeze back.]

Thanks... for telling me. I just wish the town wouldn't force people to reveal these things.

[Though Izuku is grateful that he's allowed to share Minato's burden like this.]

[messianic]

[Ha...]

It's not like I mind that you know, or anything. I'm not ashamed of it, and it's not something that has to be kept a secret.

It's just...

... I was enjoying being treated normally, you know?

[inheritance]

Maybe not, but you would've wanted to tell people on your own time, right?

[Izuku looks down at their joined hands, then back up again, filled with determination again.]

It's...a lot to take in, but I'm glad that I know now. At least now you're not carrying something like this alone, whatever your reason for it was.

[messianic]

[... Yeah.

It's true that now... no matter what, he's not alone.]

... It's not too much to bear, is it? [Softly:] It's... I never wanted to make any of you sad, more than anything.
