ooc - SCREAMING AND CRYING HOLD ON I GOTTA SEE IF SOMEONE POSTED HIM TO TUMBLR
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?"

That got him. Oh, the irony.
“Ha! Oh, man! Your vocal chords really betrayed you there!” He gave Deku a firm pat on the back as he caught his breath. “Ah, it happens to the best of us. Just think of it as part of your charm.”
@rody-soul said:
“Maybe because you are one-” Rody mumbled real quietly, holding back a laugh. All tease, of course.
“Wha-?! Rody!” Izuku gasped, fake-offended. Unfortunately, his voice cracked over Rody’s name.
Pulling his hands away would be rude right? Not that he wanted to pull them away anyways but... He really didn’t know what to do in this moment. Rody had never experienced this sort of feeling while growing up, nor did he have the time for it if he ever had. This was all new.
He felt Deku’s hands leave his, thinking this mess of a situation was over. What a fool he was; thinking that he would regain his composure and continue the conversation like normal. The feeling of hands on his face was completely unexpected and sent him into even more of a panic. “De-” He tried to speak up as his head was turned. Time seemed to move in slow motion as he saw Izuku’s face inch closer and closer and- ...!
He immediately froze up and his heart was pounding. It was all he could hear- could Deku hear it? He hoped not. Just like with the hand-holding, Rody made no effort to pull away, letting the kiss continue. This was not a thing just friends would do. His lips twitched with nerves and indecision of what to do. With some hesitation though, his hands had rested on the shorter one’s shoulders. He wasn’t pushing him away; he simply wanted to get his attention.

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.
Rody never said it out loud... But it was true. The fact Izuku came to that conclusion threw Rody for a loop. How was he supposed to admit that??
Rody's panic vanished as Deku spoke of his insecurities, going into full support mode. "Hey hey, there's nothing to apologize for. I'm sure plenty of people actually find you attractive, but never say it out right. It's... embarrassing to admit that kind of stuff, ya know?" He looked down at his closed hands where Pino still resided, biting at his lip in thought.
"You have unruly soft hair, bright eyes, star-like freckles, a nice physique, and a personality that's like sunshine. You're... adorable really. I think anyone you meet will come to that conclusion, even if they try and deny it." Rody wanted to make Deku feel better, even if it was embarrassing for him to speak the truth about his own thoughts towards the hero's appearance.
Another loud squawk came from Rody's hands, his heartrate picking up. Looks like the panic was back. Deku didn't just say that, right? Rody looked up at the other to get a read on his expression before quickly looking back down. This was too much for his heart to handle. He wasn't expecting the conversation to go in this direction.
His leg started to bounce out of anxiousness, his gaze focused on his hands. "How... can you say that so outright, Deku..." The brunette mumbled, unable to make eye contact as his face heated up.
continued from here.
Seeing how obviously flustered Rody got by his confrontation only made Izuku’s face feel hotter. “Y-yeah--I-I do a lot of leg works out because half of my attacks utilize kicks...” he stammered. Though, it was hard to focus on anything else when all his mind could focus on was the fact that Rody had, indeed, had to have checked out his ass to make observations like this.
“S-so, you’ve actually checked out my ass...?!” he asked with an audible voice crack. What did that mean?! Did that mean Rody was attracted to him?!
Oh god! How was he supposed to react to this?!
He’d never been around someone who found him attractive before! What does he say in this type of situation...?!
Izuku didn’t exactly hate that Rody had indirectly admit to admiring his ass, so what did that mean for him?! Did that mean he was happy that Rody found him attractive?! Did that mean he liked Rody...?!
