"What...?" So Rody Did Hear Him Correctly Before.

ooc - Let’s do a little update, shall we? 

So a month ago, on June 3rd, I graduated from college! Woo! I officially have a Bachelor’s in 2D Animation!

So what have I been up to the past month? Honestly? Sleep. And family stuff. But also my animation team and I are still wrapping up our film because we did not finish before graduation like we were supposed to. Woops. And I’m partaking in Art Fight this year, so lots of drawing, yay. But I am alive! I’m very active on Discord, so if anyone wants that, just DM me! I’m looking forward to being more active here soon! <3

Rody was basically curling in on himself with guilt. The other wasn’t even... questioning him... He trusted him that much? Damn it. Pino noticeably drooped like a withering plant. His heart felt like it was being yanked this way and that as he listened to the blonde talk about his own family.

“I’m sure your family knew right away that you were innocent.” He glanced back at the phonebooth, gray eyes searching for blue. “I understand needing to hear a loved one’s voice in a situation like this. My little sister and brother are waiting for me back at home. Just hearing their voices would ease my worries.” If only they had a phone back at their trailer. He would have called them over the cops.

Rody looked up at the boy in front of him, biting his bottom lip in nervousness. “You’re right.” He stood up, case in hand, looking towards the sound of the helicopter. It was getting closer. “There’s some tall grass around here. Maybe we can lay down and they won’t notice.” The phonebooth could have also sufficed, but Rody knew he would have to wave the helicopter down and didn’t want his accomplice in plain sight in a glass box.

Rody was the one who called the cops. He didn’t want the other involved in what could possibly go down.

He gestured to a tall patch of grass farther away from where they currently stood. “Go hide over there. I’ll go over here.” He vaguely gestured in the opposite direction, starting to walk to his hiding area.

@rody-soul​ plotted out a starter!

Tired... Neito was just so tired.

It all started late last night. After being flown to the small nation of Otheon with the troublemaking students of Class 1-A, Neito already knew that somehow things were going to go wrong. It all started with a bank robbery that the other students instantly rushed into. Honestly, Neito almost let them handle it to finish their required task. After all, bringing back food and supplies back to the base was actually important, no matter how much Bakugou moaned and complained over it.

Before Neito could stop himself, he found himself running towards the situation. Neito and Izuku left the two attacking robbers to Todoroki and Bakugou, while they both persued the running man with a briefcase. While Izuku was brash, running directly for the escaping man, Neito instead watched him with careful eyes. With a bit of street savviness, Neito slipped into a leaving train. Thankfully, just a few minutes later, so did their suspect. Neito could see Midoriya in the distance, but before he could start running towards the train, a rather irritated looking train conductor quickly yanked him off the train tracks. Before Midoriya could pursue them, the train was long gone.

Watching the brown haired suspect take a sigh of relief, Neito couldn’t help but laugh, waving his hand towards the other, “I suppose you think you got away? I wouldn't get so comfortable if I were you.”

Wow.... that all felt so recent. Blinking his tired eyes, Neito quickly remembered everything else- the briefcase being empty of any sort of treasure and just filled with important paperwork. Being chased by the police, using Todoroki’s quirk to escape while keeping everyone safe in the process. After jumping into the water, Neito quickly ditched his phone and began walking. Quickly, the quirks that were once filled in his body were gone. Leaving the blond basically quirkless and defenseless.

That’s what led to him and the other male now trying to sleep in a barn. Neito wasn’t sure how the bird in front of him could keep up with them all day- the blond was sure he didn’t see the creature eat or drink. However, Neito didn’t have the energy to ponder that aloud. Instead, with a single hand on the briefcase, Neito fell into in a deep sleep. After all, he was just so exhausted.

And they have been together ever since (canon and real)

rescuing a kidnapped character from the antagonist + sentence starters

“ you're okay... you're okay. “

“ just... two seconds. “

“ it's me, yeah, just me. “

“ are you hurt? “

“ i killed someone. someone in their group, someone close to them. that's why i'm here. “

“ you fucking idiot... look at what happened! “

“ did he hurt you? i swear, i'll kill him... “

“ are you okay with me touching you? “

“ why did you come here alone? “ “ he said he was going to kill you. i couldn't let that happen. “

“ i'm gonna save your life, asshole. “

“ you don't understand... we can't retaliate, not unless you're willing to lose men over a war we weren't equipped to deal with in the first place. “

“ are you okay? “ “ i don't know... i don't know what he did to me. to any of them. “

“ look, nobody's killing anyone, okay? not unless we have to. “

“ they'll come for me. they'll come for all of you for trying to save me. “

“ i was ready to die. “ “ how can you say that? “ “ because you can't risk your life to save mine! “

“ no, you don't get it, somebody has to die or this will never end. “

“ we can't lose more people, we can't lose you. “

“ if something happens to me, that's on you, okay? so you better fight for your survival, and don't come running with no martyr shit because if you die, i'm going to kill ever last person in this compound until they shoot me dead. “

“ you're safe, okay? “

“ let me look, hey, let me look. “

“ i loaded that gun. “ “ and i triggered it. “

“ how can you tell me to get out of here? “ “ because if i die, then at least i know i didn't take you with me. “

“ you have to leave. “ no, no way, i'm not leaving without you. “

“ no, you're bleeding... what happened? “

“ i can't believe this is happening... i mean, are you insane? “

“ what did you do to get in here? are you in trouble? did they see you?

“ i'm so sorry. “ “ it's okay. “

“ i'm going to get you out of here, okay? “

“ nobody is going to hurt you. “ “ but — “ “ you're safe. “

“ hey, look at me, look at me. you know me. “

“ i'm gonna help you, all right, so guide me through this. “

“ hey, hey, hey, there's no need to rush... “

“ it's my responsibility... i was the one taken captive, it's not your responsibility to save me. “

“ you didn't see him... they killed that man, right in front my eyes. “

“ it's over. “ “ no, no, you don't understand... there's no remorse. none at all, they grabbed that woman, cut her head off in one clean slate. “

“ i'm so sorry. “ “ let's just get out of here. “

“ just, give her a minute. she'll come around. “

“ nobody is blaming you for what happened tonight. “

“ from here on forward, we stick together. no more running off on our own. “

“ you're not a victim. you don't have to be if you don't want to be. i sure as hell didn't. “

“ you survived tonight. regardless of what happened, you survived. “

“ we're going to kill them, okay? no excuses, no remorse. “

“ i'm gonna open the door real slow, okay? “

“ hey, hey, hey, just take your time. “

“ his head, his eyes rolled... “ “ don't. don't think about it. “

“ look, you may not be in the right shape of mind to make that type decision, but i am, and i'm telling you, in about five minutes, this whole place is going to be swarmed by heavily armed soldiers ordered to kill us, willing to take a bullet to see it through so unless you want me to throw you over my shoulders like a rag doll, i suggest you get up off your ass and start moving. “

I was trying to draw them kissing for like a week now but something was always wrong 😭

So have that uglyass sketch anyway ༎ຶ‿༎ຶ

As much as I love bakudeku, Rody being Izuku's first kiss makes sense lol something must have happened at that little romantic roadtrip 👀

I haven’t drawn rody in a while so. Why not.

He watched as her usual smile finally came back. It made him happy that he could cheer her up.

Rody couldn’t hold his own smile back as she spoke with more energy this time around. It seemed his words really did mean something to her. “There you go. That’s the mindset you should have.” He smiled bigger. “You’re exactly where you need to be to achieve the best version of yourself. It’s okay to have worries and doubts, but never forget that you will reach your end goal.”

He glanced at her fist before looking back at her, seeing the determination in her eyes. A small laugh came from him. He wasn’t used to the word ‘hero’ being directed towards him. “Yeah, you’re welcome. I’m glad I could help and thanks for... confiding in me.” It was usually hard for Rody to trust others so easily. Thus, it was nice to see that his friend trusted him enough to express her own worries to him.

Ochako's hands turned to fists at her sides, brows furrowing before she shut her eyes. Of course he was right but...it made her feel like...she wasn't enough. "I...can't even make the life of my parents easier. And I don't want to feel like...like I'm not a good heroine." She sighed and opened her eyes. "It's just...I've seen how fragile this whole world is and I wish I could do more, even if I can't do anything for myself."

She put on a sad smile. "I guess that's a silly thought, huh?"

@rody-soul

Rody wasn't expecting the compliments, but welcomed them anyway. Iida was a really kind guy. "Ah, you flatter me." He said with a hand rubbing his head. "Buuut I guess I am pretty amazing, huh? Kinda hard to deny it." He added with a chuckle.

"Oh-?" Rody had barely noticed her due to his own excitement and the conversation they were having. She was still flying in circles, around the two of them now. "Seems like she wants to spread her wings a bit." That reason made sense.

@rody-soul​ continued from x

     although rody was right in the fact that iida would save him if something were to happen to him in this session, iida was still worried that the jump was too much of a gap. 

          “yeah, but...” he would take a breath as he scanned the jump once more and shrugged his shoulders. “alright, if you think you can do it then go right ahead and i will be there to save you if anything happens.” his legs were itching to run anyway, but if rody thought he could do this, iida was going to let him. this was training after all, if they didn’t push themselves then what good would this be?

Rody: (◡‿◡✿)

(ʘ‿ʘ✿) What you say ‘bout my siblings?

(ʘ‿ʘ)ノ✿ Hold my flower.

Izuku: ✿＼(｡-_-｡) Kick their ass, baby. I got yo flower.

There was no way he could hide his red cheeks after that kiss. Geez... Calm down, heart... “Thank you, Izuku.” This was one of the best birthdays he’s had in a while.

continued from here.

Izuku predictably flushed a deep shade of red when Pino began pecking his cheek. Now that they were dating, Izuku knew that Pino being affectionate was now an extension of Rody doing the same thing. His heart still leapt whenever Rody said his first name. He couldn’t keep the smile off of his face even if he tried. 

Geez, he really had it bad for Rody, didn’t he? 

“Ah, y-yeah!” he stammered. “I know how much you wanna become a pilot so I thought you’d like practical things that pilots need to have.” He beamed. “I’m glad you like them!” 

He reached up his hand to pet Pino on the head. “You should show Pino what I got her!” he added with a soft laugh. The other gift bag contained the same rainbow colored bird perch they saw at the mall together. It had bells dangling off of the bottom of it. He remembered Pino enjoying the display version of the perch and and went back to the same store to purchase it.
