He Gave A Shrug And A Smirk In Response. "They're Respectful, For The Most Part. Some Exceptions." Guess

I do.

Rody knew travelers walked down this path often to get to town. And those travelers usually had some valuable items on them. Items that should be in his hands, considering everything went smoothly.

He was keeping a close eye on this new visitor, examining the bags on his person. All he had to do was snatch one and then make do with what he got.

Rody hid further down in the bushes when the stranger spoke out. Time to set his plan into action.

Coo~!

A small pink bird popped out of the bushes and hovered at eye level with the adventurer. She was a safe distance away just in case the sword was brought out.

Peep~! Peep~!

  Izuku was getting used to traveling on his own as his start of being an adventurer but he was getting better with it, got some good practice with his sword skills and he was able to get a few odd jobs done to get some gold. Anything he found that was worth some good money is something he would take with him while exploring places, his bags of supplies and assorted items being a decent weight at the moment as he walked through the area that was said to be on route to the next town. Heard that it was a good place to sell things so he could make a good bit of gold there from selling things that he found and didn’t need.   The greenette was making sure he was still on the right path when he heard some rustling and had his hand on the handle of his sword in an instant, ready to defend himself. “Who’s out there show yourself!”

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 👀

do roro and lala miss deku?

"That question kinda answers itself."

"Of course they do. He's their favorite hero. I'm almost jealous with how much they look up to him."

ooc - This man has such a hold on me that he is dragging me back into the roleplay world after years.

"Well, if you're offering, handsome." There was no way he was asking for a rating straight out.

@rody-soul asked: "So... bitable asses, huh? Giving out your thoughts to everyone here?"

Katsuki was smirking. "Yeah." The smirk widened into a grin. "You want a rating too, pretty boy~?"

Izuku's giggle brought such warmth to Rody as he laughed along with him. It could be a good perch for Pino, as long as she knew when to be quiet.

Gray eyes followed Deku as he looked at the clothes. "Silver age?” He exhaled out of his nose. “Oh right. I guess it only makes sense you know the difference between his costumes. You do look up to him after all.” Rody reached over and grabbed the tiny costume, holding it up to Pino. He laughed as she posed confidently.

“Aw, what a cute little hero you are!” He grinned over at Deku. “She’s the spitting image of All Might, don’t you think?”

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!”

@rody-soul​ 

Rody knew first-hand that Deku was on another level with his quirk. Whatever it was... It allowed him to do a lot and was definitely fitting for a hero, but so many other quirks were also well-suited for the job. Not every hero had a power-type quirk, and that was okay.

"Of course I do. I know you can. You’re only going to keep improving and become an even better hero as time goes on.” He shifted a bit in his seat. "It's normal and completely understandable that you want to do so much more. It's just not attainable right now. But it will be eventually. All you can do is keep working harder and get stronger so that you can do more later down the line. You have to focus on the present since that ultimately affects your future."

Phew, that was a lot. He didn't have a sincere talk like this often.

"Eh, but what do I know, right?" Rody gave a shrug. "I may not be a hero myself, but I did mean every word I said."

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?"
