Shit. Shit. Shit!

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!”

It was hard to miss the earlier back and forth conversation, especially with Bakugou involved. It was hard to ignore any conversation the loud blonde took part in. The hero always held himself so high-up; was always so snarky and confident. It would be amazing to see him get scared something small in a supposedly ‘haunted’ house.

That something small? Pino.

Rody had taken the time to quickly prepare a small piece of fabric for Pino to be covered in. Now she had her own little ghost costume. Rody made sure to run on ahead and climb up one of the trees, checking that he was in a good position to at least hear any reaction Bakugou may have had. He had to suppress his chuckles as soon as he saw the blonde approach and enter the house.

Letting the silence and nerves build up for a good while, Pino hid as she let Bakugou get a feel for the place. When she felt the timing was right, she flew toward the blonde with a loud squawk.

Ghost Hunting with Bakugou (open starter)

How in the ever loving fuck did he let Kaminari talk him into doing this shit?! The dumbasses in his friend group were spooking each other with scary stories and, unsurprisingly, Bird Brain was the one who came up with the only legitimately creepy one. 

There was mention of an abandoned house in the forest that led up the hill to U.A. that too many people had been too scared to go to. Allegedly, it was haunted by a family that was murdered there, but there was no documented proof of it. Katsuki thought it was a bunch of bullshit. 

Pikachu and Tape Arms decided to dare him to go there at night to prove them wrong. Of course, he refused up until they challenged him and like a damn played fiddle, he gave in. 

So now, Katsuki stood in front of an old dilapidated house with nothing but a flashlight and an EMF meter in his hand (courtesy of Deku, that damn nerd). 

“…This is just gonna be a waste of my fuckin’ time…” he grumbled to himself before entering one of the busted out windows of the house. 

There was no way he could hide his red cheeks after that kiss. Geez... Calm down, heart... “Thank you, Izuku.” This was one of the best birthdays he’s had in a while.

continued from here.

Izuku predictably flushed a deep shade of red when Pino began pecking his cheek. Now that they were dating, Izuku knew that Pino being affectionate was now an extension of Rody doing the same thing. His heart still leapt whenever Rody said his first name. He couldn’t keep the smile off of his face even if he tried. 

Geez, he really had it bad for Rody, didn’t he? 

“Ah, y-yeah!” he stammered. “I know how much you wanna become a pilot so I thought you’d like practical things that pilots need to have.” He beamed. “I’m glad you like them!” 

He reached up his hand to pet Pino on the head. “You should show Pino what I got her!” he added with a soft laugh. The other gift bag contained the same rainbow colored bird perch they saw at the mall together. It had bells dangling off of the bottom of it. He remembered Pino enjoying the display version of the perch and and went back to the same store to purchase it.

Seeing Deku get even redder was causing Rody's mind to buffer. The hero was embarrassed, but he was so cute- no- stop thinking like that! Now's not the time! Pino was persistent, pecking away at his palms as his hands twitched. Pino couldn't be free at a moment like this. No way.

“See! A perfectly reasonable explanation!” He said in response to Deku’s work out answer. Maybe he could get out of this conversation with that.

Or not.

He was rendered speechless at the hero’s question. Part of him wanted to run out of here, but he knew that wouldn’t really do anything. “Um...” Rody tried to hide his face into his own shoulder. He wasn’t used to feeling like this, whatever this feeling was, so it took him a moment to finally respond with what he thought was a proper answer. “...Y-Yes? I mean... I saw the back of you a lot while we travelled and observed you so... I would be lying if I said no.” Now he just hoped that he didn’t make Deku uncomfortable.

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…?! 

@rody-soul​

I knew I shouldn't have asked.

Rody cowered at the vibrations from the incoming attacks that were slowly chipping away at their temporary shelter, moving aside to dodge small debris as it fell. He looked into his coat pocket to find a shaking, but fortunately uninjured, Pino. Rody gave her a little pat to ease her, as if to say that everything would be alright. He had to tell himself that too.

The brunette looked over at Bakugou, giving a slight look of hesitation. He had been carried a lot by Deku, but never by him. Rody took a deep breath in, exhaling his concerns. He trusted that Bakugou knew what he was doing.

“Okay.” He responded more clearly and seriously, as if there was no hesitation just moments before. Rody approached the hero, resting his hands on his shoulders first as to forewarn the following jump. After one more exhale of worries, he leapt onto the other’s back, wrapping his arms and legs around him tightly like he was told. He was careful to not choke the man. He didn’t need to be yelled at for that too.

“Ready when you are.”

@rody-soul​ Continued from Here

It figured that he’d be stuck babysitting when a villain attacked. Now he had to get this extra out of harm’s way while taking out said villain. “‘course I got a fuckin’ plan, what kinda stupid-ass question is that?” He did not, in fact, have a plan at the moment, but he was working on one. At the moment, they were hunkered down waiting for a chance to move without getting blasted into pieces by their quirk. At least there weren’t any other civilians in the immediate area he had to worry about.

Flexing his fingers, tiny explosions crackled off in his palms. Their cover wouldn’t hold up forever; it was already starting to wear away under the constant assault. But as easy as it would be to just go out and start fighting them, the place was becoming structurally unsound. His explosions could make it collapse and crush them all–it was lucky that the villain wasn’t doing that already. 

Crouching down, he glared over his shoulder at Rody. “Get on and hold on.” It was the best option for now.

Pino rubbed at her face with her wings, as if Rody was trying to shake his own panic away. He couldn’t help but squint at the small motion she did. Thankfully, it wasn’t easily readable... This time around anyway.

“Hm?” Rody glanced over at Deku, his worries about Pino expressing his emotions being brushed to the side. “You think so?” He brought the outfit away from the pink bird to check the price tag. “Hm... Not too bad. I guess she does deserve something.” He grinned as he gave the bird a pat and rub to the head.

Once that was done, Pino hopped onto Rody's shoulder, his focus back on his friend. "I can go pay for this and then we can head to the next place, that sound good?"

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.

Judging by the ease he shows as he agrees to the other’s request, the villain must be feeling pretty sure of himself now. “Just make it quick,” he asks of Rody, expression unchanged even when he finishes with a veiled warning: “I’ll know if you try anything, so… don’t.”

And just like that, Izuku lets go of the other boy’s arm, even going as far as to give him a small wave. “I’ll wait here.” And wait he does.

Minutes pass, and Izuku finds himself bored, but not alarmed. Instinct tells him Rody isn’t a dodgy character, and he’s going to keep himself true to his promise to come back — and Izuku has long learned to trust his gut feelings.

Despite the uneasiness, Rody responds in all seriousness, "I won't." He wasn't going to risk anything. Especially with his siblings nearby now. Rody steps back once he's freed. "I'll be back." And off he went, jogging to his destination.

It was ten minutes of checking on his siblings, making sure they had food for the night, telling them that he would be back later and that they should go to bed without him, and then changing into fresh clothes and saying goodbye.

He would be back. But leaving them made his heart sting and his stomach twist. It was never easy to just leave.

Jogging back up in a clean (but patched-up) hoodie and jeans, Rody was somewhat relieved to see the other still standing there. That meant he didn't follow him home. That meant he trusted Rody's word. "Alright." He spoke up to get Izuku's attention if his footsteps didn't alert him already. "So where are we getting this plane?"

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.
