[It's about eight hours later when Izuku finally responds. He needed time to sporadically alternate between freaking out, thinking, studying and making notes, and still getting in some training time because that never quits.]
[He's played the message a few times to make sure he understands exactly what she's asking. He doesn't want to make a stupid assumption or embarrass himself, or worse, embarrass her. Asking someone out is really hard and takes a lot of courage, even for someone confident, and he respects that a great deal.]
[BUT WHY CHOOSE HIM? He really has no idea, but he's a little happy she did.]
Hey! Sorry it took so long to get back to you. I was really surprised.
But...uh...are you really sure about this? It feels like I should be the one taking the initiative on this sort of thing.
[When he asks her if she's sure, for a moment, she's wondering if he's trying to find a way to turn her down nicely and there's a slight sinking feeling in her stomach when she thinks he might be rejecting her.
Then as she hears the rest of what he has to say, she realizes that this isn't necessarily a rejection. Not with the way he's mentioned initiative. Instead, it sounds like he's overthinking it, which she can see him doing all too easily. So she opts to be direct.]
I'm sure. If you want to take the initiative, then you can ask me to go to something with you.

And I really have no idea what I'm doing.
