[ 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~ ]
OMFG! I'm dying!!! XDD

Let's do soba.
I'm sorry for nothing!
