[ Slowly, his fingers loosen their hold on the material of Izuku's uniform. It's so strange, seeing him here, like this - at war with the rest of the world. Midoriya Izuku has always had fight in him, and has always wanted to stand up to the bullies, so it's not that. All of it amounts to the fact that he didn't have the power to always stand and fight.
He takes a deep breath, another faint shudder, and nods his forehead into his shoulder. ]
[He's a little different now... but the heart of him, the part that's always wanted to stand up for every single person who's ever been trampled on? That stayed. It aches at the way Shouto was treated, how they found him strapped to a table- but he's okay now.
He's solid and real and nothing is wrong. Everything is fine because they're finally together again. As long as Izuku is here, he's going to make sure nothing bad ever happens to his childhood best friend.
He's never felt pure terror grip him before. Even the super serum didn't terrify him the same way seeing Shouto hurt did. He might... have to re-evaluate his feelings. Is Shouto really just his childhood friend, or is there more to it than that?
The musing can wait for later. For now, all he wants to do is be here for his friend.]
And you're still my Shoucchan. You know you can always talk to me.
[Even if most of their childhoods were spent with Shouto protecting Izuku from bullies. Izuku was the one who tried to protect Shouto from Todoroki Enji.]
