[Of course he was. Had he ever done anything else when it came to others' wellbeing?
He took Todoroki's family issues onto himself.
He took the blame for Kacchan's kidnapping onto himself.
He was perfectly willing to fight Stain alone until the pros or his classmates got there.
He was willing and able to take care of this. It was the least he could do after all she had done for him. He was a grown man, he could handle this. These things happened; it was a natural part of getting older.
He just wasn't ready for a scare like this. Not like this.
Kacchan's arms held him steady; a warm, safe sanctuary from his feelings, his problems...hell, himself. He could spend forever here, maybe.
He'd wanted to fight back against Kacchan's insistence that he held no blame in this, because he did, even if it wasn't all of it, but his last words gave him pause.
"You're not alone." "I'm gonna help you out."
Izuku pulled away, just slightly. Just enough to stare up at Kacchan, so many emotions swirling in his eyes.

There was a question there, relief, and longing.]
