I was fourteen (didn't want this)

"I've never wanted this."

"But my boy, you did want it? You were ecstatic to the point of tears were you not? You accepted the offer without hesitation. The path of a great hero is always bumpy. You will be alright my boy." His mentor smiled.

Izuku growled at the man. "I didn't need a quirk!" "I was fourteen, desperate, and depressed. I had just been told to kill myself and that I could never achieve my dreams shortly prior. Then you came in with your obnoxious words and obnoxious face and said that you believed in me." Izuku inhaled. "And no one had ever believed in me. So I ate that shit up like I had been starved, and maybe I had." "But I didn't need this, didn't want it." Izuku's eyes slightly watered. "I didn't need some fancy quirk! I needed therapy!"

(Izuku wished he had known what he was getting in to when he accepted the offer. These things are always too good to be true)
