[Those words, that expression. Izuku takes notice of them all, and the conclusion he draws is one that he doesn't really like, but seems to be on par with that he'd realized earlier.]

I admit, I was a little upset at first. [Izuku nothing, if not straight forward when he's trying to get a point across. His voice is as gentle as ever, though.] It made me really happy when you said that we were friends last time, that you wanted to hear what I had to say. So, when it felt like maybe you didn't mean it, that you were just saying it to get me to talk...

[Izuku shakes his head, just a touch sheepishly. Maybe he's gotten a little too selfish. Just a year ago, he would've been happy just having any kind of attention from a potential friend like Minato. And now, he's upset because Minato won't confide in him, and even confronting him about it? It's something he needs to think about.

Even though Izuku doubts his own motivates now, the point he wants to make to Minato is still valid.]

A-anyway, I realized just now that's not what happened. [He pauses.] Arisato-kun... has no one offered to listen to you before?

[messianic]

[... Ah, well. He can see why that would be upsetting; he hadn't even thought about it, but--]

... Sorry, Midoriya-kun. I can...definitely understand how that would come across. And I really am sorry for making you feel that way.

[A brief breath in, and:]

it's not...that nobody's ever offered, but I guess I'm not used to it still. It's...

[...Well, he's used to listening to everyone else's problems.]

I don't usually have a lot of problems, that's all.

[inheritance]

N-no! You don't have to apologize, Arisato-kun. [Izuku waves his hands frantically, emphatically.] I was the one who jumped to the wrong conclusion... that's my fault, not yours.

[And hm... Izuku supposes that makes sense. But they're in this town now, and that means there will be plenty to talk about, if things continue as they are.]

Well... the offer's open, just like I said earlier. [Izuku leans in toward Minato, expression open and earnest.] If you feel like you need to talk about something, I'm always willing to listen.

[messianic]

[The offer's open, huh...? It makes him ease a little, expression gentle but grateful.

In all honesty?]

... I appreciate it. You really are a good friend, Midoriya-kun.

[In so many ways. He's luck to have ended up with a friend this good, in a place like this.]

I'll remember that. I promise.

[inheritance]

I'm... [Izuku draws back bashfully, cheeks pinking up a little.] I'm just doing what any friend would, I think.

[But his expression brightens, and on a whim, Izuku decides to stick his right pinky out and offer it to Minato.]

Promise? [It might be a little silly, yes, but Izuku's smiling as he does this anyway.]

[messianic]

[Minato won't argue it, at least.

He reaches out, hooking pinkies with Izuku quietly, a small smile on his face in response.]

I promise.

[Pinky swear.]

And that's what makes you such a good friend, you know. You think that's just how friendship should be.

[But to Minato, he's pretty sure Izuku is going above and beyond.]
