Yeah, yeah.
I know.

And he appreciates and it and will take him up on it someday when he's actually ready to express his feelings. If it were anyone other than Izuku he'd maybe be a little more prepared. But nothing is ever, ever easy for him when it comes to Izuku Midoriya.

Don't give me that self-conscious bullshit.
Nothing wrong with you.
You're annoyingly strong and good in battle.
You're stupidly kind and thoughtful to the point I wanna punch you sometimes.
And anyone with two working eyes can see you're attractive.
So that code-talking asshole better appreciate you as much as you appreciate him or I'll kick his ass up and down the street.
And if you tell me you aren't good enough again, it's gonna be your ass I kick.

Friendship.
