Being Pulled Closer Was A Welcomed Surprise. His Face Was Already So Warm From The Blushing, And Now

Hearing Deku compliment his hard work took him aback. Deku was always one to raise others up like that... It really did help one feel good about themselves.

“Ah geez...” Rody brought a hand up to rub the back of his neck, giving a cunning smile. Meanwhile on his shoulder, Pino looked shy as she fidgeted with her wings. “I guess I have been working pretty hard, huh? But still, your help made all the difference.”

Rody watched with admiration as Izuku smiled and talked. It was so nice to see him again. To talk in person. Sure, it had been a good while since he last saw Deku, but did the hero always get this red so easily? The hero’s voice getting louder, and saying such embarrassing words towards Rody, really threw him for a loop. After a pause, he couldn’t help but laugh. 

“Aw man, Deku, you’re too much!” With such a red face and shouting something like that in a public space, how could Rody not think he was cute? He internally thanked his own quirk for not being able to say thoughts out loud, although Pino did fly over and settle on Deku’s green hair.

“Of course it’s fine! We got along so fast and went through so much in such a short time.. I didn’t want you to leave in the first place so.. Yeah, I missed you too.” 

It took everything in Izuku not to start bouncing up and down where he was standing. He was waiting outside of Gate 15 for an incoming flight from Otheon. Finally, after seven long months of waiting, today was the day! 

Rody was visiting him in Japan!

They had been planning this for months. Instead of spending his extra money on All Might merchandise, he focused all of it towards Rody’s travel expenses and anything they’d end up doing while together for the week. They had practically talked every other day ever since Rody had saved up money to buy a cell phone. They had learned a lot about each other in that time, and despite the long distance between them, Izuku still felt as if they were becoming closer than ever.

So, really... it wasn’t much of a surprise that this was the most excited he’d felt in a very long time. 

As soon as he spotted Rody’s face, his eyes lit up as bright as the sun. He couldn’t help but rush forward and pull the other young man into a fierce hug. He could feel himself tearing up, but he managed to keep the tears at bay. He couldn’t keep the grin off of his face even if he tried to. 

“I can’t believe you’re actually here right now!” he exclaimed with a cheerful laugh. “It’s so great to see you again, Rody!”

“Hey, they’re not wrong. Red suits you just as well.” He had a smug yet friendly smile plastered on his face as he gripped Red’s hand and gave it a nice shake. “Ei?” He parroted the nickname. “Nice, short, and easy to remember. Great to meet ya.” Rody still struggled with Japanese names from time to time, so he was grateful for the shorter option. 

Pino squawked much to Rody’s embarrassment, even if he didn’t show it. The brunette was taken aback by the sudden question and the sudden mention of Deku.

“I... do.” There was really only one reasonable explanation he could think of. “You must be one of his hero friends then? From UA?” Wait- did that mean Deku talked about him to his friends? How much did that nerd say?

@rody-soul​ replied to your post:

*very slowly hides Pino out of sight*

        “Uwa–whatcha got there?”

...

"That's. Certainly a response to me getting a 70%. Do as you please, I guess?"

Katsuki looked like he was about ready to bite Rody. It wasn't like he was above doing that either. "Do you want me to wreck your ass right now? Cuz I ain't fuckin' opposed."

do you have the bases for your icons that you'd be willing to share?

((Like the images? Because I just take a bunch of screenshots from the movie and then crop them down to my icon size and then slap an overlay on them-))

Though he didn’t expect Rody to give up this quickly, the villain isn’t about to act or feel dissatisfied with the fact that he didn’t get a chance to show the other just how convincing he can be. On the contrary — his lips stretch out in a content smile, and he pats the other boy’s forearm with a nod.

“Yeah, we can take a small detour,” he agrees, but not without putting emphasis on the we. It’s something Rody should have figured out by now, but the green-haired boy still does it, just in case. You’re not going anywhere until I let you, the implications say.

“Why, you need to grab something from your house, or…?” Or maybe let someone know he’s going to be away for a while. A smart tactic, really; Izuku would have done the same if he were in Rody’s position. That means that, if anything bad were to happen to him, there will be somebody looking for him. Not that there’s any plans to get rid of the other as an inconvenient witness or anything, but that’s something the other boy can’t know.

Rody could have gone without the forearm pat. First they linked arms and now that- touchy, isn't he? Rody dreaded the "we" that came from his mouth. He had expected Izuku to tag along, given the circumstances, even if he would really prefer him not to.

"Well, unlike you, I just worked a five hour shift and would rather not fly for two hours in these clothes." It wasn't a lie. But it wasn't the reason he wanted to go home. He could have put up with staying in these clothes, but no way was he going to bring up his siblings. So now he was going to have to change. "Let's get going." Rody promptly left the alley, keeping Pino out of sight as he led the way.

Once they were a block away from the trailer park he lived in, Rody came to a stop, gaze landing on his partner. "...Can you at least wait here for like ten minutes? You should understand my caution of not letting a stranger know where I live, right?"

“Deku...”

Rody finally let go of the pink bird, letting her hover nearby. He proceeded to wrap his arms around Izuku for a comforting hug, holding him close and tight as his heart pounded against his chest. Now was the time for some heartfelt honesty it seemed. Something that Rody still wasn’t completely used to.

“...Because love is risky. But it’s a risk most are willing to take since love makes life worthwhile..” He was embarrassed to even say such things but he couldn’t let this be a one sided conversation.

“I’m not worried about you making me upset at all.. You’re incredibly thoughtful and respectful. You always mean well.” One of Rody’s hands moved up, running it through the back of Deku’s hair. “You’re okay. We’re okay.”

  Oh he actually did it, Izuku feeling his heart pound in his chest now. Alright Izuku you can do this you’ve held hands with people before this isn’t any different! Yet the thought of it was making his heart go faster and a tinge of pink come to his face.   Taking the plunge and just going for it the greenette quickly placed his hands into Rody’s to hold them.

Pino was fine after the shove, quickly flying up towards the roofs of the buildings they were running past. Pino got a whole birds-eye view of the chase now, still following her owner.

Rody couldn’t help but chuckle to himself as he heard the stranger come to the realization that he did, in fact, take her case. About time she realized.

“What can I say? Finders keepers!” He looked back with such a snarky grin, only for it to vanish when his eyes met her hands. 

She has a quirk? Fire related nonetheless. He put his focus back on the path in front of him; it would all be fine. He just had to lose her. Easy. Rody knew his home town better than her after all.

With that said, Rody made a swift left turn into a branching alleyway.

  Looked like those two were in a hurry or were running from something, either way it had caught Serena’s interest. When something caught her interest naturally she would want to investigate it to see what was going on there, turning back to see if anyone was following them before seeing if anyone was looking at her. Thankfully nobody was so just to be a little safe the girl flickered her wrist and made a cloud of smoke appear behind her before giving chase to the brunette and his feathered friend.   If someone was following then it may take a second to get through the smoke if they were looking but by then they would be long gone so it works out! Maybe she would even make her first friend here so Serena caught up to them with curious eyes. “So what’s got your feathers all ruffled to be in such a hurry?”

Who knows Rody Soul best?

"Take a shot! Tried to make it easy for ya."

Running, running, running. That’s all they’ve been doing. That’s all his brain has been doing. This whole situation was extremely stressful; the police and even villains chasing after them- seriously- what the hell was up with this case?

He wanted to go home. That’s all Rody could really think about. His stomach twisted and turned at the thought of his siblings home alone with no one to take care of them. They were fairly capable on their own but... he promised he wouldn’t leave them. What could they be thinking right now? It was well past their bedtime; were they in bed? Or were they still waiting for their older brother to come home?

Rody had made up his mind before he and the blonde settled down to sleep. The judgmental look Pino shot his way before he started drifting off filled him with more guilt. But he had to go through with the plan. He had to. For them.

Heavy gray eyes slowly opened after a few hours of rest. Even in his dreams, his family took all importance. That was enough to set the plan in motion.

The brunette sat up, quietly making his way over to where the blonde was sleeping. It looked like he was out cold. Good. He carefully grabbed hold of the briefcase and slid it out from under the boy’s hand. Now all he had to do was get out of here-

Piiiiiiiii! Pi! Pi! Piiiiii!

Rody hushed the bird in a panic. Everything was going so smoothly before his personal alarm went off. He dodged and rushed past her, running away from the barn as quickly as he could in the direction of the phone booth they had passed earlier on in the night. He knew he was on limited time thanks to Pino.

Back at the barn, Pino was chirping up a storm to wake up their accomplice. She was being as loud as she could, flapping her wings to blow wind in the hero’s face as well.

@rody-soul​ plotted out a starter!

Tired… Neito was just so tired.

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.
