[But that is where Katsuki is wrong because Izuku holds Katsuki in a spot exclusive to him. Izuku can remember how his heart felt like it was shattering to pieces when he saw Katsuki's mangled body on the ground. It felt like he was losing a part of his world. And Izuku knows that these deep-rooted and complicated feelings are because he feels for Katsuki in a way that he doesn't feel for anyone else. It's hard to accept but he's swallowed back those feelings for years and years. Only for them to bubble up at the worst moments of his life.]

N-No. Not really. Not like that. [Izuku mutters in return as he looks down, ashamed for these things making him feel nauseous again.] But you shouldn't have had to go through that sort of situation without me to at least ... help you.

[He knows how pathetic that must sound.]

I don't know where we are now, Kacchan. But I ... I'm not not going to let something like that happen ever again. I don't care what you say.
