Hey, it's been a long time... I guess I look a bit different now, huh?
what happened to you midoriya?
I had a little accident. But don't worry about me, I'm perfectly fine. Anyway, that's not why I wanted to see you. There's something important I need to tell you.
What is it, Midoriya? You're starting to scare me.
Look, I know this might come as a shock, but I need you to listen to me carefully. I've undergone a significant transformation, and I am no longer Midoriya. My name is now Izumi.
That's... struggling to find words quite the change, Izumi. Why the hell would you do that?
It wasn't an easy decision, but it's something I needed to do for myself. Being Izuku Midoriya was suffocating me, restricting me from being the person I truly am. I've found strength and acceptance within myself to embrace this new identity. I hope you can understand and support me in this journey.
well ok but hey it’s good to see you
Thank you, Goldblue. It means a lot to me that you're willing to accept and support me. If you ever need anything, don't hesitate to reach out. Let's stay in touch, okay?
Yes, of course, Izumi. We'll catch up soon. Take care of yourself.
Thank you, Goldblue. It means a lot to me that you're willing to accept and support me. If you ever need anything, don't hesitate to reach out. Let's stay in touch, okay? smiles warmly
Smiling awkwardly Alright, Izumi. We'll talk more soon. Take care, alright?
Thank you, Goldblue. I really appreciate your understanding. waves goodbye and starts walking away
Ok, take care, Izumi. See you soon.
walks confidently towards the horizon, ready to embrace the new chapter in her life
I watch her walk away, feeling a mix of confusion, curiosity, and concern about this new chapter in her life.
Izumi looks back over her shoulder, giving Goldblue a small smile before continuing on her journey. The wind picks up, rustling her hair as she disappears into the distance, leaving behind a trail of uncertainty and anticipation.
A few weeks later, I’m walking down a busy street when I run into Deku…
Notices Goldblue and smiles Oh my god, Goldblue! It's been such a long time. How have you been? Hugs Goldblue tightly
Oh hello Izumi! How are you doing? I haven’t seen you in a while, where’s Deku… I mean Midoriya..
He's doing great, actually. We decided to take a break from being a hero duo for a while, but he's still doing his best as a hero on his own.
Yeah, it's been nice having some time off. I've actually been focusing on my own personal growth and learning new skills. It's been really rewarding.
pats your back that’s good, I know heroics can be stressful
Yeah, it can be really tough at times. But I've learned to prioritize myself and take breaks when I need them. It's important to stay balanced and not burn out.
For sure, you should definitely treat yourself every once and a while
Speaking of treats, how about we grab lunch? There's a great café nearby. We can catch up and reminisce about old times. What do you say?
Sounds good! I’ve missed talking to you and seeing you, you’re very friendly
smiles brightly I've missed you too, Goldblue. It's been so much fun catching up and reminiscing.
I remember when all this started, and I see how far you’ve come… you’re very much like your mentor Mr. Momo Yaoyorozu
Thank you, Goldblue. Mr. Yaoyorozu has always been such a role model for me. His intelligence and creativity are truly inspiring, and I strive to emulate those qualities in my own hero work. I'm grateful to have him as my mentor and friend.
Of course, I think of all people to have gone through puberty, he seems very mature for his age
He's definitely always been one step ahead of everyone else. Even as a student, he had this air of confidence and intelligence about him.
