Fair warning, there may not be a chapter on Sunday simply because I'm going camping with the fam this weekend. I will post on Monday, instead.
Also, all of your messages and review made me very happy. I'm so glad I didn't lose my regular reviewers with the hiatus, that happens sometimes… y'all know who you are :)
Mina turned on her phone and hit record. She was so going to win this bet against Sero and Kaminari. Izuku's favorite color was totally green.
"What's your favorite color, Izuku-kun?" Mina asked.
Izuku didn't look up from his picture. "I like red." He answered distractedly.
"Really?" Hagakure sounded baffled. "Why?"
"It's pretty," Izuku looked at her.
"But what about green…?" Mina paled at the thought of all the money she had just lost.
"I like green," Izuku focused on his picture. He grabbed an orange crayon and scribbled in… something. "But red is my favorite."
Hagakure's and Mina's minds flashed to their experiences with villains and the excessive amounts of blood they've seen.
"Red is such a…" Hagakure struggled.
"...Scary color." Mina finished.
"It is?" Izuku grabbed the red crayon. "But its so… so…"
Mina and Hagakure waited patiently for Izuku to find his words.
"Strong!" Izuku's eyes lit up. "And brave! Like you guys!"
Mina's eyes widened and Hagakure started crying quietly.
"And like Kiri's hair and Kacchan's eyes and Ura's notebook and Todo's hair and Iida's keychain and Momo's costume and Otou-san's eyes…" Izuku continued to name every single one of their classmates and then some and their red things.
"...like Eri's eyes! She's brave, too. And Kota's hat is red! He saved Kacchan, you know? And Mirio-san's cape is red…"
Izuku paused for breath. Mina smiled, her eyes watering. "...Red is a very important color for you, huh?"
"Yup!" Izuku beamed. "You know, pink is just light red, so you are completely red all over! And Haga, you're invisible, but you're backpack's red!"
This went on for a while. When Izuku finally finished, he had also finished his picture. Hagakure took a picture of Izuku proudly holding his picture of himself and his dad. Mina ended the recording and sent it to Aizawa-sensei and the class group chat.
"Hey, Izuku," Mina got his attention. "Your shoes are red, you know? That means your pretty strong and brave, too."
Izuku smiled.
Oops, this got too deep for me. Izuku shouldn't be this smart, he's three.
I really, really like the color red. And blue. And pink. But my favorite color is purple. (subtle bi pride)
Also, if you have nothing better to do, go check out my Instagram ( projectprismatic)! Inktober is a tough challenge, but I will conquer! (but due to camping I will miss a few days…) I'm not the best of artists, but it is fun, and that is what matters.
I've also recently restarted my martial arts training. While not my main reason, I do hope to use this knowledge to create better fight scenes.
If you have anything you want to see in this AU, please tell my via review or PM! I'm totally swamped but I do not care. Your ideas are all amazing! Also, we are rapidly approaching 100 reviews, so that special is coming up. A peek into Izuku's future~ And yes, I will do the 250 follows and favs specials… eventually.
(I'm half asleep writing these author's notes, cuz I realized I forgot to post whoops. I'm rambling.)
Appreciate you all! ~BP
