Rody Wasn't Expecting The Compliments, But Welcomed Them Anyway. Iida Was A Really Kind Guy. "Ah, You

Izuku was blushing so deeply that the red reached the tips of his ears. "D-do you really think my hero costume is that skin-tight?" he squeaked out.

Abort mission. Abort mission. Abort mission.

Pino squawked as Rody physically stumbled and grabbed the bird to hide her in a panic. The squawking persisted as Rody did his best to keep up his cool and calm front, even though the blood rushing to his face was betraying him.

"W-Well-!" A voice crack. Not a great start. "Ahem- It's not that skin-tight. Like, it could be MUCH tighter- it's just slightly tight- Plus!! You work out! You do squats, don't ya? That, combined with your costume, come on. It's just a natural place for the fabric to hug."

That explanation worked, right?

Rody: Okay, we gotta get through this locked door. Todoroki, quick give me your credit card

Todoroki: Here

Rody, pocketing it: Cool. Deku kick the door down

“Good. That’s good.” A visible sigh of relief came from Rody. He didn’t expect the situation to escalate in such a way; he was glad Uraraka was alright. That they were all alright. At least this whole situation was almost resolved. The worst of it was over.

Rody stood by as the kidnapper was taken away, rubbing the kid’s back in comfort when he heard his voice getting shaky. Pino sat on Rody’s shoulder, showing a clear display of concern through her eyes and body language. “She’s right. We’ll find them. Or they’ll find us.” Parents missing a child? They must be in a panic and calling whoever they can. 

“Say, is there any place near your home that you like to go to often? Like a park?” Rody asked with a gentle smile. That way, they would be closer to the kid’s house, while also providing a type of distraction.

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.

hey, bone takers from the backrooms anons, can you not harrass rody? thanks, 'ppreciate it

Finally, a savior.

"I agree. I would also appreciate it. Pino would too."

Rody was in his own thoughts, making his way back home after running errands. Roro and Lala came along with him, so it turned into a nice family outing. It was later in the night so thankfully it was peaceful. It was just him, Pino, and his siblings for the most part, an occasional pedestrian walking by them.

He couldn't wait to get home to his siblings, make dinner, and sleep. It felt like such a long day.

The sound of fast footsteps caused him to stop.

“Roro! Lala! Where in the world are you going?” He watched as they ran down the alley they were currently passing. Was there a cat or something? What caught their eye that caused them to run so suddenly? He started to make his way over.

“You two can’t run off like that. You should know bet-” The sound of crying became more audible the closer he got. Pino immediately looked worried as Rody halted.

Why was he here...?

His siblings cried out to their older brother, practically begging him to help the passed out villain, even though he didn’t want to be near him to begin with. Not wanting them to cry, and not wanting the green-haired man to die, Rody sighed.

“Okay... Okay.” He handed over the groceries he was carrying to Roro and Lala, and proceeded to bend down to lift the man up. Rody wasn’t the strongest but like hell he was just going to leave him here in this state.

So much for a relaxing night. Looks like he had some patching up to do.

  It had been quite a while since Izuku had actually seen Rody face to face but he still helped from a distance despite being pushed away. like leaving boxes of things at their home with no name of who had given them, protecting his siblings from trouble and teaching them how to fight so they can defend themselves. He had even bailed Rody out of trouble recently when one of those carrying jobs of his went wrong, just like he said it might in the future. thankfully he wasn’t spotted when chasing those people away so that was a silver lining there, he knew that boy wouldn’t be happy if he found out he was doing all this still despite being told that his help wasn’t wanted and to be left out of things.

   As for himself however he had run into a problem of his own, having been beaten pretty badly. Blood was everywhere on him and he had left a trail of it behind until he had dragged himself up against a wall, feeling himself slowly lose consciousness. It would be fine Izuku just needed to catch his breath then he could make it back to his place to fix himself up, now passed out against the wall for anyone to find him in this state. 

us-smash​:

  “Oh well this explains where I ended up.” Not liking that rody had made him sit back down on the bed but his body hurt too much to really protest against this. “Alright let’s be real you didn’t want to help me so why am I here? you could’ve easily taken me back to my home.” Why would Rody waste his energy on him when he made it clear that the brunette wanted nothing to do with him?   The villain couldn’t deny he needed to rest and recover, what had done this to him really took it out of him so he didn’t have much choice in the matter of not taking it easy for a while. 

Rody huffed at the question, his gaze already tracing each and every wound that he had patched up the night before. They look alright... That was good at least. “My siblings noticed you first. We were already on the way home. I knew I had the necessary stuff to patch you up here.” He responded quick and easily.

The brunette sat down on the corner of the bed, keeping the distance between them. His eyes were on the floor now as Pino fidgeted in her corner. “You’re in bad shape. I doubt you could take care of yourself, anyway... Even if I don’t want you around,” for safety reasons, “I couldn’t just... leave you like that. I’m not that bad of a person.”

he wants his cookie so effing bad....

His hands gripped Deku’s shirt with such desperation. He didn’t want him to be sad; he didn’t want him to be sorry. Rody hated to see him in such a state. He wished he could take all the weight off of his shoulders.

“Sh.. Sh..” Rody started rubbing and patting Deku’s back, trying to give him as much comfort as he could. He could only imagine what his partner had been through. Though, it was obvious it had been a lot; far too much for a teenager to handle. He was still a kid.

“It’s okay now... You’re in here. Not out there. You can let it all out. I’m here for you.” His words sounded choked. He was full on crying now and was doing his best to not sound like he was. Rody wanted to be the support that Deku needed.

“...I would carry you up to your room if I could.” He started, trying to lighten the mood even a little bit.  A gentle hand ran up through green hair. “But I’m not as big and strong as my boyfriend, nor do I know where the room is but... a cuddle session is in high demand right now.”

Izuku was tired. Exhausted, honestly. Physically, emotionally, and any other type of exhausted that existed. After Uraraka managed to convince the civilians to let him rest at U.A., the last of his adrenaline drained from him. He could barely stand, so it was no surprise when his male classmates lifted him into the air and carried him off to the bath. 

Though, as he was being carted off, he managed to glance around at the familiar surroundings of the common area. Though he’d been away for nearly two months, it felt more like an entire year instead. 

Out of the corner of his eye, he spotted an oddly familiar pink bird flying across the living room. There was no way, right...? 

There was no way he was here...! 

He was just hallucinating from exhaustion. That had to be it! Still, Izuku could feel his heart ache as he was pulled into the bathroom.
