"A trigger?"
Izuku tilts his head in confusion.

Blue nods.
"It's something that will awaken your quirk or something like that."

Izuku smiles.
"Sounds exciting!"

Blue smiles back.
"I brought you a gummy! Just in case something goes wrong.."

Blue hands it to Izuku.
"Um, what's something that scares you?"

Izuku's eyes widen in fear.
"I c-can't tell you, Blue! It's silly.."

Blue giggles.
"I doubt that Izu-chan."

Izuku tightens his fist and looks down at the ground embarassed.
"K-KACCHAN SCARES ME!"
He covers is face in embarrassment.

Blue laughs.
"Baku-Chan isn't scary Izu!"

Izuku's eyes water.
"Yes he is! He h-hits me and calls me mean th-things."
Blue cocks his head.
"Then do it back, Izu!"

Izuku shakes his head.
"He's stronger than me."

Blue moves closer to Izuku.
His looks at Izuku through his bangs.
He whispers.

"Says who?"

Izuku looks back feeling extremely nervous.
"Says who.?"

Blue nods.
"You wanna get him back, don't you?"
Izuku moves back, his eyes wide.

"N-No. That's wrong! Heros can't do tha-"
Blue moves closer.

"Says who?"

Izuku falls back, his bottom hitting the dirt. Suddenly he feels uncomfortable.
His skin feels like its burning and his vision is blurry.

"I can't hurt people..I wanna be a hero."
Blue sits in front of him, leaning closer to Izuku's face.
"Be the hero in your own story."
Tears stream down Izuku's face as realization hits him.

"Blue."
Blue smiles and backs away.
"What do you wanna do to Baku-chan, Izu-chan?"

"Blue."
Izuku looks at his hands and sees his tiny veins bulging with purple.

Blue looks at Izuku.
"What are you feeling right now?"

Izuku lays down on the dirt, his small hands in his hair.
"What am I feeling?"

Blue smiles.
"Yeah!"

Izuku smiles widely as his vision becomes clear and red.
"Insane!"
--

Inko sits there astonished.
"So. You kept this from me for 14 years."

Izuku shamefully nods.
Inko grabs his hand and squeezes.
"I could've got you help or something. I may worry or get frightened easily but Izuku, you won't ever scare me."
