🧑‍🤝‍🧑(A Truly Valid Question I Believe)

ooc - Happy Thanksgiving to those of you who are celebrating! If you're not, have a great Thursday!

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.

I haven’t drawn rody in a while so. Why not.

Rody wasn't expecting the compliments, but welcomed them anyway. Iida was a really kind guy. "Ah, you flatter me." He said with a hand rubbing his head. "Buuut I guess I am pretty amazing, huh? Kinda hard to deny it." He added with a chuckle.

"Oh-?" Rody had barely noticed her due to his own excitement and the conversation they were having. She was still flying in circles, around the two of them now. "Seems like she wants to spread her wings a bit." That reason made sense.

     although rody was right in the fact that iida would save him if something were to happen to him in this session, iida was still worried that the jump was too much of a gap. 

          “yeah, but...” he would take a breath as he scanned the jump once more and shrugged his shoulders. “alright, if you think you can do it then go right ahead and i will be there to save you if anything happens.” his legs were itching to run anyway, but if rody thought he could do this, iida was going to let him. this was training after all, if they didn’t push themselves then what good would this be?

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!”

this is a social experiment reblog this if u were rping on tumblr before 2016

i'll let deku know you asked that

"Wh- Hey! I didn't say anything!"

(what on earth did tumblr do to the quality??)

Izuku wore a small flush on his face as he approached his frie--boyfriend. He held a decently sized gift bag in his hands and held it out towards Rody. "H-happy birthday!" he managed with a bright smile. Inside was a portable pilot's tool kit and case as well as a pilot's LED pen. There was even another gift bag reserved for Pino. "I wasn't sure if Pino was born around your birthday so I thought I'd get her something too," he added sheepishly.

Rody was surprised to see the other approach with gifts. Did he ever tell the hero his birthday?

...

Did Roro and Lala tell him?

He smiled with a faint blush, politely taking the gifts from his boyfriend. His look softened more at the mention of Pino. Rody loved that Deku took her into account.

"Heh, we usually celebrate the same day since it's easier that way." Pino chirped in, happily ruffling her feathers. As Rody began to fiddle with the gifts and tissue paper, Pino flew over to Deku, pecking his cheek before getting comfortable on his shoulder. “Thank you though, Izuku. You really didn’t need to get me anything.”

Upon seeing what was in his gift bag, he had to smirk. “Well well, the little nerd has been doing his research, eh?” The brunette teased as he pulled out the tool kit and pen. Deku was already spoiling him... he had a good idea of what these things cost. He was excited nonetheless about the gifts, which was displayed through Pino’s little hops on the hero’s shoulder.

Rody held up the pen, smoothly flipping it through his fingers. “Definitely going to be using this for my late-night studying.” He couldn’t resist clicking the pen and turning the light on and off. He was having fun; he would get to Pino’s gift in a moment.

Yes, she was very happy, so in turn, he was very happy, which only embarrassed him further.

A small nod was given in response to his first question. Rody didn't expect Deku to apologize, and hearing the line that followed only made him chuckle. "Better knowledge? Of this? Never." The only people he hung around with back home were his siblings and his boss. He was slowly making friends there finally, but no one was as close to him as Deku was.

“I don’t even have better knowledge of this. Looks like we’re the same in this department.”

  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.
