every time I see him I end up with a drawing lol

“Finally, something we can agree on.”

“I’m not ashamed to admit it…”

Katsuki sneered wide as the inkling of a blush crossed his face. “I’d let Deku crush me with his thighs.” It’d be his ideal way to die. 

when u get close to someone n u just think ‘i wonder when they will leave’ and 'it’s gonna rly hurt when they do’

When the handshake was over, his hand went up to give Pino a comforting scratch. She didn't actually need the comfort, considering that the sound was due to Rody's shock, but Kirishima didn't know that. He had picked up on how Ei noticed Pino's reaction, and from his perspective he must've thought she was startled by something else.

Rody wouldn't look like a good 'pet owner' if he just ignored the bird's 'panic.' Thus, she got some nice scratches.

"Really? Geez, small world! I didn't think I would run into one of Deku's friends like this." In retrospect, Pino really did have no reason to be scared of this kind-hearted hero. "Likewise. It's even more of a pleasure to make your acquaintance."

@rody-soul​ replied to your post:

*very slowly hides Pino out of sight*

        “Uwa–whatcha got there?”

Rody couldn’t help but smile at Deku’s gentleness with Pino. The red on his face slowly faded away as he watched the two interact. This was nice.

“Oh, right.” Rody turned towards his luggage, grabbing hold of it again. Guess he couldn’t stand here and stare at Deku and Pino all day. “This is all I have, so that’s one less stop for us.” He gestured forward with his hand, smiling back at him. “Lead the way, Deku!”

Even if Deku was embarrassed, and Rody was a bit flustered, the warmth of the conversation and laughter was really pleasant. Rody hadn’t felt this kind of pure joy in a while. He was grateful to have a friend like Deku.

Rody got red in the face when Izuku asked such a thing. Wasn’t it obvious?

“Ah- She-” He was cut off by Pino chirping as she hopped onto Deku’s hand. She was flapping her wings rapidly and being louder than Rody expected. Pino was definitely beyond happy to see him, and Rody only got redder at the sight of her display.

“Well, there’s your answer.”

Izuku had surprisingly noticed Rody’s blush. Maybe it was because it was getting so dark on his face? It was enough to ease some of Izuku’s own flustered state. 

He brought Pino down to eye level and used the index finger on his other hand to softly pet the small bird on the head. “Well, I missed you too, Pino!” he replied with a giggle. 

He then took notice of Rody’s carry-on bags. Maybe they should at least deal with customs before doing anything else? 

“Do you have other luggage to pick up from baggage claims?” he asked as he returned his focus to his friend. “We should probably at least start walking towards customs,” he added with a sheepish smile. 

Oblivious to Izuku's malfunctioning, Rody continued walking with his hands in his hoodie pocket, grinning as his eyes wandered.

It still felt unreal to be here. He wanted to take in every moment the best that he could.

Upon arrival, Rody watched Deku with a smile as he gushed over the cats. He only approached and stood next to the hero at the window once he questioned him.

"Oh, Pino's fine." Rody waved his hand as if to say not to worry about it. "Those cats can't get to her so there's nothing to be concerned about. There are a ton of stray cats back home too, so she's used to them."

With that said, Rody got a closer look at the cats, Pino peeking with interest as well. "Call me boring, but I've always liked the orange ones. Maybe because.. they're a happy color?"

Rody leaned over in curiosity, trying to peek at his phone. He basically ended up being shoulder to shoulder with Deku from leaning so close.

He hummed at the suggestion, looking up at his own forehead. He thought it was nice that Deku was thinking of her. Pino hopped in place with a chirp. She was all for it.

Rody chuckled. “Looks like she likes the idea.” He peeked back at the map on the hero’s phone. “Well, let’s not keep her waiting.” He playfully bumped his shoulder with his own, starting to walk in the direction of the store.

Izuku didn’t realize how close Rody was close to him until he turned his head to speak. Or, at least, he tried to speak. If Izuku had leaned in any further, their faces would have touched! The thought was enough to make his cheeks grow hot. 

So…close…!!

Still, he managed a smile when Pino expressed her enthusiastic approval of his suggestion. He was amazed with himself that he even managed to bump Rody’s shoulder back in return. “U-uh… right!” he stammered, trying his best not to let his flustered state get any worse.  

He quickly pulled ahead so he could remember to breathe as he led the way towards the storefront. Why was his heart racing so much…?! It reminded him too much of when he’d blush around Uraraka. 

Thankfully, the pet store wasn’t too far. He shelved his wandering thoughts and  distracted himself by staring at the kittens in the storefront window. The kittens’ fur were of varying shades and patterns. One was orange striped, another was spotted with brown and black, and the most energetic of the three was mostly black save for a white “tux” at the front of her chest. 

Izuku gasped loudly, his eyes growing brighter as he continued to watch them. “Oh, wow! They’re so cute!” He turned to look at Rody. “Is Pino alright with cats?” The last thing he wanted to do was cause the bird any distress.

there’s literally nothing more fun than being kind????? like? making someone feel loved and appreciated and seeing them smile and hearing them giggle?? sign me the fuck up

@astralanarchist made an older Rody design when we watched the movie yesterday and lemme tell u- 😍 we are insane

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

He watched as her usual smile finally came back. It made him happy that he could cheer her up.

Rody couldn’t hold his own smile back as she spoke with more energy this time around. It seemed his words really did mean something to her. “There you go. That’s the mindset you should have.” He smiled bigger. “You’re exactly where you need to be to achieve the best version of yourself. It’s okay to have worries and doubts, but never forget that you will reach your end goal.”

He glanced at her fist before looking back at her, seeing the determination in her eyes. A small laugh came from him. He wasn’t used to the word ‘hero’ being directed towards him. “Yeah, you’re welcome. I’m glad I could help and thanks for... confiding in me.” It was usually hard for Rody to trust others so easily. Thus, it was nice to see that his friend trusted him enough to express her own worries to him.

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?"
