i think few people talk about how shouto's love is not just kind but closely resembles devotion. from the moment izuku saw him at the sports festival, he was willing to drop everything in hosu to rescue him. he would face the police to defend them from the improper use of quirks. he would take part in bakugou’s rescue without hesitation, and when izuku was accused of being a criminal in WHM, he simply assumed izuku was innocent. shouto decided very early in the narrative that izuku had captivated him, and because of that, he would never leave his side. in various illustrations, shouto is seen gravitating around izuku or simply looking at him with genuine admiration in his eyes. izuku is his absolute ride or die.
