He tenses subtly between quieting breaths. It's not as though he needs to protect Kaworu from Paul at the moment, but perhaps the image of Paul--a reminder of the person who hurt him on that ship.
"He wants--Teacher uses people like tools. Everyone on the ship..." He trails off because the subject of Teacher is less important than Midoriya's primary motivation.
Midoriya sinks to sit in the middle of the room uninvited, bulky Iron Soles tucked under him as best they can, chin tilted up towards the person sitting in the window.
"I can't make you leave, so I'm not leaving until you do. Anyone hurting you has to go through me, and I can warn you. I can warn everyone who would fight alongside me in an instant, and that is not a fight Teacher wants."

It's his nuclear option. He doesn't know what else to do to protect Kaworu, who has killed and is slated to kill again under the tutelage of someone who regards lives as pawns. There is more than one way to be lost. As long as Kaworu is under this roof, he is someone who needs saving, and Midoriya will not rest until that is done.
