(NAME) ALWAYS BELIEVED THAT LIVING non-selfishly promised good fortune, which amplified his efforts thus far have been more than appropriate, from how he was there for Katsuki to how he handled the situation with Izuku. Neither of which was falsified modesty, but because he did truly believe enacting kindness is a fundamental rule for what builds a human soul. Contradicting his long-term goals wouldn't do him any good; there'd be no point dropping everything he worked hard for just to act selfishly over something he felt guilty obtaining in the very first place.
He's still human. He makes mistakes here and there despite meaning nothing but genuineness.
However, it is up to him and his good faith to realize when and how he made those mistakes.
Like right now.
Izuku, staring hopefully into (name)'s eyes after saying what he said: I feel like I'm with Katsuki again. The only difference is...he didn't want Izuku to feel rejected.
"I― I always feel so guilty," Izuku sobbed out. "I― I see you laughing and smiling beside Kirishima a― and Tokoyami, a― and I can't help but feel jealous." He sniffed. "B― but I know I shouldn't. I'm being greedy o― over something that was never m―mine, a― and I hate myself for it..."
And with such a straightforward confession, (name) had no choice but to be fully aware of the serious situation he mostly led.
He doesn't ignore the fact they spent many evenings in each other arms simply enjoying the other's presence ― milking the rare opportunity to be together alone without Katsuki (anyone, really) there to make (name) question himself and his feelings, especially for those few instances he and Izuku progressed their innocent cuddle sessions to public handholding or a peck here and there.
Why he doesn't mention their private moments together was for no reason other than because he and Izuku established there's no relationship. Not only did neither of them know what their deal exactly was, but (name) always assumed Izuku was finding solace in him in an unconventionally platonic manner.
However, he finds Izuku's eyes watering by the end of the day when they bid farewell without any acknowledgment of what they did, almost seeming disappointed.
That should have told him he needed to take action.
"Izuku..." So there's nothing like the present, where (name) sternly stared back at Izuku's heartbroken expression. "I've always enjoyed being with you...in a way unlike when I'm with others. I..." He started off strong but the closer he got to the truth, the more nervous he became. "I― it is true you're my best friend," (name) managed to say, "however, you're right...that...shouldn't be the only way I describe you."
Misunderstandings are what caused this entire drama. Honesty proceeds relationships people spend several hundred days growing, adapting, and overcoming as a way to become stronger. Balance solidifies relationships that can lead to everyone feeling happy.
If only he was honest from the very start, then perhaps everything could have been so much easier.
