[ Oh crap, he's so bad at explaining this. He has never bothered to explain any weird-looking relationship in his life. He just sort of let things be. ]
He and Kaworu-kun and I are seeing each other.
[ He borrows a phrase he's heard Paul use. Midoriya and Paul are both habitually polite, but Paul was raised to say things with class. It's also vague enough--No, that sounds too easy, too little. Paul wanted a House again, a family. Whatever else happens, they're that. ]
We're boyfriends.
[ Also not enough. ]
But we were friends first. I met them both last year.
[ Friendship is important to Midoriya to note. They did not simply meet somewhere and go for a date. Midoriya does close friendship very intensely. ]
Eh, terms are difficult, especially when it's "unconventional" relationships in some way. Though I suppose dating more than one person may only be unconventional in some of my world rather than all around. It wasn't terribly uncommon where I grew up.
Partners, typically. Which... admittedly leads to confusion. Somehow saying 'boyfriends' sounds a touch odd when you're old enough I suppose.
Dating partners Business partners Partners in crime Project partners Partners on a team ...I see what you mean.
[ It is admittedly a little worrisome to find out who does and doesn't turn an odd look (or text) at three instead of two. Midoriya was made fun of for most of his childhood, so he takes whatever in stride, but he is very sensitive about people being rude to people he cares about.
But Viktor comes off as thoughtful and no-nonsense. Palamedes, likewise, seems to have his mind on higher things than conventions. ]
Anyway yes I hope I can make it to your next lesson. I'll check my shifts and text you when I'm free.
Yes, it admittedly gets cumbersome to say partners then make sure to inform it is both of a romantic and professional variety. We probably should just deal with 'boyfriend' regardless.
And excellent. I hope to see you soon then.
[surely nothing will come up in early july haha...]

[how did he become a teacher, honestly. he used to hate teaching, the trench teens are too powerful.
but ah, that explains a lot. it's nice to have confirmation rather than the ah, confusion. that seems to be around.
good for paul, he thinks. and kaworu for that matter. a bit of an odd bunch but that's probably why it worked.]
I see, I've met both at the party as well, though I suppose I'm behind on all the interpersonal relationships. As Paul seems to be.
[just a little teasing for thinking he and pal were roommates, sh]
A touch sentimental for my tastes, but I am glad to hear you have found each other.

What do you and Palamedes-san call yourselves?
[ Midoriya is fairly oblivious, but not like Paul. That's a whole other level. ]
