[glaciers]

You can keep going and not be fine.
That's how I was for a long time.

[expulsions]

...what made things more fine? izuku?

[glaciers]

Yeah. Pretty much.
He reminded me that my quirk was mine, not my father's.

[expulsions]

he's right, you know
did you believe him at first?

[glaciers]

He didn't say anything when I told him the first time.
Then he beat himself up while we were fighting against each other and screamed it was my power.

[That's... one way to say it, sure.]

[expulsions]

...wait what.

[glaciers]

He broke all of his fingers in the middle of a 1v1 because he was keeping my ice away. I think he broke his some of his fingers twice.

[expulsions]

he knows it takes a while for bones to heal doesn't he?

[glaciers]

Normally yes.
The school nurse has a quirk that lets people heal a lot faster.

[expulsions]

huh. we have healers, too, but it still can take some time
...so wait are you trying to tell me you developed a crush on the guy because he broke his fingers to prove a point to you?

[glaciers]

That's not why I like him, but that is what happened.
He helped my accept that my fire was mine and not my father's.

[expulsions]

important. you have to learn to own your own strengths even if they came from somewhere else
they manifest and can be used differently
for good or bad
you just happened to choose better

[glaciers]

I thought I could just use my ice to fight.
Hopefully it stays that way. Better than my old man, I mean.
Anyway that's probably why I liked Izuku to begin with.

[expulsions]

one of the things I've learned is you can't always be afraid of your powers
you just learn to be scarier than they are
and considering what I know about your dad you're doing lightyears better anyway
why else do you like izuku?

[glaciers]

I wasn't afraid, I just didn't want my father to feel like he was responsible for any part of my success.

[Shouto is just the most spiteful boy, that's all.]

He's reckless and kind. It matters more to him that he's doing good in the moment than whatever consequences are going to hit him later.

[expulsions]

I don't see anything wrong with either of those

[glaciers]

Normally I would agree, but I'd like it if he cared more about his own safety. He's broken a lot of limbs.

[expulsions]

sometimes that seems to matter a lot less than whatever's going on
have you told him that?

[glaciers]

More like how many times have I told him to take care of himself.

[expulsions]

...Annabeth once took a poisonous blade for me
I'm not sure telling them to take care of themselves has any effect whatsoever

[glaciers]

Probably not, but I can hope.

[expulsions]

he might listen to you. he seems to like you enough
