Ooc - Apologies For The Silence Here Recently! It’s The Last Two Weeks Of The Semester, So A Lot Of

Because I woke up and chose violence, apparently.

Post WHM, Post War Arc:::

Consider: Rody's heading home one seemingly uneventful night. He's done with his shift at the bar, and he's tired, but he's got a lot of studying still to do that night for his classes.

He's got a cup of coffee to keep him going, from the one place that serves coffee this late at night, and he's headed home through familiar streets. Even though he's exhausted, he feels good. Content. Like he's really moving forward.

But then something... horrible, catches his attention.

"Deku..."

Hearing Uraraka admit that she used to care about popularity and all that gave Rody a moment of whiplash. That's exactly how Rody grew up seeing all heroes; that they only cared about the fame and money. That was the reason why there were basically no heroes around in Otheon; they had nothing to gain from helping out that criminal-infested city.

He was happy to hear her change in attitude regarding that. "See? True hero material. You have a good heart."

Rody froze, money in hand, also noticing the kid outside. Pino quickly retreated into his ponytail. While Uraraka's hero instincts were kicking in, Rody's "big brother" ones were activated. As soon as she left the table, Rody cursed under his breath as he frantically shoved his book into the backpack he brought with him. This book was too damn expensive to just leave behind.

He rushed outside, just in time to see the hero get shoved. "Uraraka!" She seemed okay, considering that she was getting up so easily. His eyes followed to find the culprit, and once he saw the black coat, he was locked on target.

Rody sprinted past Uraraka, covering ground quickly. It did cross his mind that the man might be the kid’s parent, but why would the kid be screaming for help if that was the case? Rody had experienced way too many kidnapping situations in Otheon, it was better to be safe than sorry.

“Hey!” Rody called out as the guy finally got his grubby hands on the kid. He didn’t like how hard he was grabbing the kid, and how scared they seemed to be. Something definitely wasn’t right.

Time flew by like the wind. Between classwork and trying to help Rody feel accommodated at UA, Ochako had barely enough time for herself!

But she decided to ask Hatsume for a new upgrade to her uniform and was passing the hallway when she noticed Rody's door to his guest room stood open. Sneaking a peak, she poked her head in but to her surprise he didn't seem to be there. Had he simply forgotten to close the door?

Scratching her head, she continued on her way to Hatsume when her stomach growled. Although she had a small lunch a few hours prior and wasn't very hungry, she still wanted to eat something.

I guess I'll meet Hatsume later.

With that thought, Ochako made her way to the kitchen to see if she could find a snack.

@rody-soul

Rody, smirking: So, when are you going to go out with me?

Midoriya, smiling: I don't know, when are you going to ask me out?

Rody: Uh....

[ Later ]

Bakugou: SO YOU JUST RAN AWAY?!?

Rody: I WASN'T EXPECTING HIM TO FLIRT BACK.

Ochako shook her head at Rody's words before glancing down at Pino. "It's not me not wanting to be a hero. It's just that ... no matter how many people I save, there's always people who are suffering and that I can't reach. And sometimes, I'm just wondering if there's ever going to be a 'symbol of peace' if there is no peace at all." (nuravity) (if you want me to make a new post, say it)

Rody leaned back in his chair, letting the words set in. They hit a little too close to home since he had no heroes there to protect him and his siblings. He was silent for a moment as he gathered his thoughts.

"It'll always be like that. You can't... really change that. There's never going to be citywide, countrywide, or even worldwide peace. But you can at least bring peace to those that you can reach."

"As much as it hurts to admit, you can't save everyone. That's the simple truth."

Don’t look at me

I’ve done important work today okay

10 people I want to know better tag game!

Tagged by @i-write-shakespeare-not-disney Thank you! A pleasant surprise :]

Last song: Routines in the Night by Twenty One Pilots. Was listening to music on the drive home last night after a convention and I do love em

Favorite color: Blue! I like light blues and then a good navy blue

Last movie: OKAY LISTEN- it was Despicable Me 4. Put off on watching it but my family and I have seen all of the others so we finally sat and watched it. Before that was Sonic 3.

Last TV show: I believe it was Teacup. A show on Peacock based on a book. Real interesting, a little gorey. There's no season 2 though. Oh well.

Sweet/spicy/savory: Always between savory and sweet but I always crave some chocolate after a meal so I'll go sweet!

Relationship: Taken :)

Last thing I googled: "Is vivinit internet legit" because we just had a guy at our front door trying to offer it

Latest obsession: Always Rody. But also heavily into Epic. Cannot stop listening/singing to those songs. Waiting for my sweatshirt to come in!

Looking forward to: Making more art and merch! I have a lot planned, just struggling with what to finish first, haha.

Tagging (if you want!): @explodcor @nuravity @itsumoegao

The guy wasn't answering any of her questions. There was no reason to. This whole scene was a waste of time. Considering the distance between them, when she shouted, the last thing he expected was a shoe to fly at him. And hit him straight in the face. "Gah!" His grip loosened immensely from the attack. Pino quickly flew down to peck the dude's hand to give it the small little push that it needed while Uraraka took care of his other arm. The kid was free!

Now Rody had an opening. He ran straight for the kid and crouched down with his arms wide open, only pausing for a moment to wrap his arms around him. "I need you to hold onto me, okay buddy?" He instructed as he lifted the child up and continued to run. The kid needed to be kept safe and away from the danger. Rody glanced back at Uraraka and the bad guy. Even if the kid was the priority, he wondered if she would need his assistance.

As Rody made haste with the kid in hand, the man growled in pure frustration. Now that he had a free hand again, since he was no longer holding the kid, he directed a huge burst of air towards the hero as he tried to pull his arm out of her strong hold. He wouldn't let himself go down this easily!

Time flew by like the wind. Between classwork and trying to help Rody feel accommodated at UA, Ochako had barely enough time for herself!

But she decided to ask Hatsume for a new upgrade to her uniform and was passing the hallway when she noticed Rody's door to his guest room stood open. Sneaking a peak, she poked her head in but to her surprise he didn't seem to be there. Had he simply forgotten to close the door?

Oblivious to Izuku's malfunctioning, Rody continued walking with his hands in his hoodie pocket, grinning as his eyes wandered.

It still felt unreal to be here. He wanted to take in every moment the best that he could.

Upon arrival, Rody watched Deku with a smile as he gushed over the cats. He only approached and stood next to the hero at the window once he questioned him.

"Oh, Pino's fine." Rody waved his hand as if to say not to worry about it. "Those cats can't get to her so there's nothing to be concerned about. There are a ton of stray cats back home too, so she's used to them."

With that said, Rody got a closer look at the cats, Pino peeking with interest as well. "Call me boring, but I've always liked the orange ones. Maybe because.. they're a happy color?"

rody-soul​:

Rody leaned over in curiosity, trying to peek at his phone. He basically ended up being shoulder to shoulder with Deku from leaning so close.

He hummed at the suggestion, looking up at his own forehead. He thought it was nice that Deku was thinking of her. Pino hopped in place with a chirp. She was all for it.

Rody chuckled. “Looks like she likes the idea.” He peeked back at the map on the hero’s phone. “Well, let’s not keep her waiting.” He playfully bumped his shoulder with his own, starting to walk in the direction of the store.

Izuku didn’t realize how close Rody was close to him until he turned his head to speak. Or, at least, he tried to speak. If Izuku had leaned in any further, their faces would have touched! The thought was enough to make his cheeks grow hot. 

So…close…!!

Still, he managed a smile when Pino expressed her enthusiastic approval of his suggestion. He was amazed with himself that he even managed to bump Rody’s shoulder back in return. “U-uh… right!” he stammered, trying his best not to let his flustered state get any worse.  

He quickly pulled ahead so he could remember to breathe as he led the way towards the storefront. Why was his heart racing so much…?! It reminded him too much of when he’d blush around Uraraka. 

Thankfully, the pet store wasn’t too far. He shelved his wandering thoughts and  distracted himself by staring at the kittens in the storefront window. The kittens’ fur were of varying shades and patterns. One was orange striped, another was spotted with brown and black, and the most energetic of the three was mostly black save for a white “tux” at the front of her chest. 

Izuku gasped loudly, his eyes growing brighter as he continued to watch them. “Oh, wow! They’re so cute!” He turned to look at Rody. “Is Pino alright with cats?” The last thing he wanted to do was cause the bird any distress.

it fits.
