He Just Wanted To Look Nice For His Friend - Blog Posts

Meeting with Deku’s friends again was... interesting. Todoroki he could speak to just fine. Bakugou on the other hand... He wondered if the blonde would ever warm up to him. Oh well.

He thought Deku’s idea of the mall was perfect. Rody would be able to see multiple stores all in one place. Although he had put on some nicer pants and a relatively “new” hoodie, that he might have sewn some plaid onto for more style, he was still wearing his same old shoes. Rody really wanted to save money where he could.

“Woah... We definitely won’t get to all of them.” He started, turning towards Deku. “I’m open to any store recommendations you got though. Or we can explore the new ones right away.” Even with his focus on the hero, Pino was standing up right on Rody’s head and looking around with a lot of interest. Rody had been to a mall before, but nowhere near as nice as this one.

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!”
