[He wants to say more. But for a second all he can feel is his overwhelming amount of ache for his friend. Empathetic to feeling of how it must feel to care for someone so much and to be away from them. Shoto must miss him so much and it makes the entirety of this situation make perfect sense.

Izuku feels tears in his eyes and he suddenly bursts into a well of uncontrollable tears.]

I'm so sorry, Todoroki-kun!! I'll-- I'll sleep with you as much as you need if- If it helps you feel any b-better!! I'm sorry I questioned why!!

[He'll hug you for days, bro???]

[Shoto does mean it that Kirishima took over the sore places of his heart where past instances had still stung. Just as Shoto had hoped he may have done in turn. There were other people, as he's mentioned, even harder when those people were in reach and remembered nothing. In the best of ways accepted his feelings but couldn't return them for various other reasons.

Well before the stuttered, familiar sound of his friend's voice on the verge of tears... Shoto could see that he's about to cry. He isn't sure what he said that's going to make him cry but he's done it. With a soft, sad sigh that gets accentuated by the upward pinch of his brows, Shoto slides closer, abandoning his bag to its place on the floor. His left hand reaches out, fingers crooked and a careful swipe of the back of his knuckles attempt to take away some of those tears.]

You don't have to be sorry. You've already done a lot. I haven't been able to share that with anyone and haven't wanted to. It's my own problem, he wouldn't want me to be sad. I'm only feeling this way because it was...

[How does he explain a feeling? Shoto doesn't have the vocabulary all the time. As he holds his eyes on those green ones and his hand on the side of his friend's face to steel him, Shoto tries to put Izuku at ease a little bit.]

It was good I got to experience it at all. I'm sorry for making you cry.

[The touch to his cheek helps ease Izuku a little bit although even that motion is a little foreign to him since they've never touched like that before. Shoto really has changed in small little ways from the boy he knows in school. It's not a bad thing and Izuku doesn't think so it's just something new to Izuku himself. It makes him inhale his breath and try and stop his crying. He smiles instead, trying to give his friend a comforting expression through his wobbly smile.]

That sounds like Kirishima-kun. He wouldn't want you to feel sad, even if all of this is happening to us now.

[That this realm took them all away from things like this. He feels so deeply for his friend's pain, that he wishes he could somehow help more. Well, that is what this napping thing is, right?]

I'm happy you got the chance to feel that way about someone, Todoroki-kun. I'm sure it meant just as much to him as it meant to you. And I hope you can feel that way again someday. If there's anyone who deserves that, it's you.

[He sniffles and stops his sobbing.]
