As a clan kid who grew up isolated and the only people he's socialized with are other sorcerers who also have varying degrees of isolation, the answer to that is unequivocally no.
Of course I do.
He doesn't want to seem too strange to Shoto's friends, so he'll bluff his way through it.
Well your dumbass boyfriend doesn't. So I'm giving him a lesson. But that's all Izuku wanted. Not a fourway relationship. Just a double date. Got it? I'm not interested. Izuku's not interested. It's just a double date.
There is no reply for a few solid hours. Katsuki has been chewed out for some choices of words with Todoroki and it made him go back and re-evaluate some things. So several hours after the conversation seems to have concluded, Toge is getting another text.
Clearing something up. I'm not interested in you in a dating sense. Don't expect me to ever say it again, but I count you as one of the less annoying friends I've made. Izuku and I are still down to do the double date thing if you two are. We can go do a manta board quest or something.
There. That feels sufficiently didn't-mean-to-imply-you-weren't-wanted???
He didn't ask Shoto to do that. He doesn't need his heart protected because he's already accepted the fact he unwanted. Infamously so. No one has to say that, he already knows. It would not be a surprise to him. He hadn't really considered it that way until he gets the text. Not that he felt great about being rejected but now it's got that undertone.
However, if Bakugo is expecting him to speak up on that matter, he's going to be disappointed. Shutting his mouth is what he's best at.
I told Izuku that was fine, it doesn't bother me. Then again I didn't ask Shoto, now you're making me think I should. I'll tell him to get back to you.

Back up.
Let's iron out this timeline.
Izuku told Todoroki he wanted a foursome?
It involves Todoroki so he's going to assume the breakdown is with him but... let him try to get to the bottom of it.

I'm really not sure how to take that.

That's news to me.
I sure as hell wasn't included in this decision.
Give me ten minutes while I shake the information out of your idiot boyfriend.

Serious question.
Do you know what the term 'double date' means?

Izuku's not interested.

Sorry about the confusion.
I didn't know.
(no subject)
Not your fault.
In the future if something sounds weird with him it's probably because he didn't understand something.
(no subject)
Weird to him doesn't necessarily mean Shoto's being weird, but he'll do his best to identify the differences.
