Paul takes that in with an unsettling ripple of nerves. They hadn't discussed any kind of enclosure on the boundaries of their relationship, as informal and unstructured as it is. It isn't like Izuku is a concubine or a spouse, or even contracted to him beyond the bonds of their House. He had thought that there would be some communication all the same, but he can't be sure that it's appropriate to request.
Perhaps it's a new development, one Izuku hasn't had the chance to share with them yet. He's never known him to be anything less than considerate of others.
Paul contemplates the options at hand.]
I apologize for not making us acquainted until now. I believe we should rectify this at the earliest opportunity.
Would you care to join myself, Kaworu Nagisa, and Midoriya-kun for dinner?
[ The only miscommunication happening here lies squarely with this dense fool. Midoriya has nothing to do with it. If he had even an inkling of what kind of misunderstanding is currently at play, he'd rectify it on the spot.
Only... he is so terribly dense, and Paul's response seems perfectly acceptable, especially after Shouto made a show of distrust towards his friends earlier. He doesn't want to make that same mistake again, so the offer, when it comes, is accepted without a second thought. ]
You don't need to apologize. I should have asked Midoriya about his new friends earlier.
[ Friends... Riiight. ]
If you give me a time and date, I can adjust my schedule.
[New friends? If Paul and Kaworu are the ones entering a prior arrangement, that's a fish of a different color. Midoriya may have some explaining to do after all. Protective secrecy is one thing, but this...
All the more reason to have dinner.]
It seems we both should have asked him about how many friends he was seeing.
I have an engagement coming up that's taking most of my evenings, but I would be happy to negotiate it with the other two and contact you when I have a set of dates selected.
[ Oh, no... You should have worded that a little less easy for him to misinterpret. He can do a lot worse with a lot less ammunition. You've brought this on yourself. ]
I can give you a list if you'd like. He's very popular.
[ Rose-colored glasses, plus a need to be helpful after he misjudged his friends. ]
I'll put together the list in the meantime.
[ With that he turns off his omni and continues on his patrol without a care in the world~ ]

He needs to get involved when people are in trouble, even if they don't ask for help. That's the kind of hero he is.
[ An admirable one, and one he greatly respects, so he's not at all surprised Paul made good friends with him. ]
He's mine too.
[not here]
who is a friend...
Nailed it, Todoroki-kun. ]

If we are all attached to Izuku-kun, shouldn't we get to know each other? You might like him.

Apparently, Izuku-kun has quite a following of paramours.

I told you not to over-extend yourself with too many partners. It's too much from a management point of view, Paul.
I hope you know what you are doing.

Some emperors have had a thousand concubines. There's nothing that can't be managed with the right seneschal and an even hand.

I do not think you to be someone so vain as to take people as trophies.
But yes. I know. Just don't overdose on too many boyfriends or something.
[A profound statement on love and power differences, followed by a very childish one on what is essentially cooties. The Chara way.]

Knowing Midoriya-kun, he may be unaware of the extent of his popularity, or who has attached themselves to him.
I don't want more than I have, but if he does, he needs someone looking out for his best interests.
And thank you for the advice. I will strive to do my utmost to survive.
