I... couldn't bear it if I was left again. Or if I hurt you both again.
Kaworu's words ensured Midoriya kept his distance when Gideon brought him (back, here, home--not that the dojo is home, but some of the people in it are pieces of a House).
This state of affairs didn't last long. It couldn't. Kaworu's lonely words on the network ring in his ears despite not being carried by sound. Kaworu is hurt. He's in pain. Midoriya is incapable of letting that be. Everything Midoriya has ever experienced has taught him that abandoning someone in pain when he can do something about it is not an option. He can't leave him.
"Kaworu-kun?"
He slouches from room to room as a Corrupted white-eyed shell of himself, calling as softly as someone looking for a lost kitten. Kaworu is not a lost kitten. He is an angel struggling to understand too-human emotions. He is a boy raised without love who desperately grasps for it. He is a killer who did not heed protests against the sacrifice of the prisoners. He is a Sleeper who was swallowed and spat out by Mariana--twice.
He is someone Midoriya loves. His love is broad, gentle, fierce, and expects others to nurture the good he sees in them. When they can't, he extends a hand to help.
