[That draws a smile from him, bright and unrestrained for a moment.] We are friends.

I forget it's different now, that I actually have people I can talk to.

[The grass under him rustles as he turns toward Minato, an imploring expression on his face.] Since...we're friends, you know that it's the same for you, right? I want to know what you're feeling and thinking, too.

[messianic]

[...Endearing. Minato's lips quirk upwards, and he tips his head forward in a small nod.]

Yeah, got it. I'll let you know when I need to talk.

We're all in this together, you know? The woods... but also this town, and everything we experience here... we only have each other to rely on. So please don't take it all just on your own shoulders.

[Izuku squirms, feeling a little exposed when Minato's words strike close to home.] I...guess I'm used to just keeping everything to myself.

I want to be someone that people can rely on...[He bows his head, mouth pressed into a thin line.] But instead, I've just been worrying people even more.

[messianic]

[Sorry, Izuku... sometimes, these are things they have to discuss. But Minato just nods quietly in response, expression gentle.]

... You can be someone people will rely on without taking everything onto your own shoulders.

Count on us...so we can count on you, too. Okay?

[inheritance]

Because we're friends. [Izuku says quietly again, as if reminding himself.

He turns to Minato with a teary smile.] I'll try my best, Arisato-kun.

[It's a hard habit to break.]

[messianic]

That's all I can ask, really.

[Minato just nods quietly, flashing Izuku a very small smile.]

So thank you, Midoriya-kun.
