Meeting With Deku’s Friends Again Was... Interesting. Todoroki He Could Speak To Just Fine. Bakugou

Being pulled closer was a welcomed surprise. His face was already so warm from the blushing, and now the body heat- he felt like he could pass out at any moment. In a good way.

When Deku pulled back, Rody watched him with a smile as his thumbs traced over his freckles. "I-It was mine, too.." He continued watching the flustered mess in front of him with adoration.

A soft laugh came from him as he rested his forehead against the hero's, a new calmness washing over him that allowed him to speak properly. "How about yes to both of those, huh? I have no experience in this sort of thing either but... it would be foolish of me to say no to those questions."

...

"...Can I have another? Ya know, to make sure this isn't a dream. Not because I want to kiss you again or anything." There's that classic Rody snark.

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...?!

Ooc ask! I was wondering if you're still active?

((Hi! :) Not super active on here writing wise. I still peek in on Tumblr from time to time though. If you're wanting to write with me, I'm incredibly active on Discord! Just DM me here if you ever want to get something started! Thank you for the ask! :) ))

The green-haired boy tilts his head to the side, appearing unmoved by the other’s reaction. It’s almost as if he was waiting for it, the corners of his mouth unmoving with that smile still plastered onto his face. At least it seems to tone down a little, taking back its softer quality.

“You’re talking,” he notes, tone as light as everything he has already said without truly saying anything. When he continues, his voice hushes as he mirrors the other boy’s tone; anybody else’s attention is still very much unwanted. “And you seem to be quite intimate with at least some of the knowledge you have about them.”

Now, that’s only an educated guess. Maybe he would get a similar reaction if he got to this point with anyone else, but his gut tells Izuku otherwise.

“Depends on which members, by the way. You know how it is. Not everyone is useful.”

Rody narrowed his eyes at the two words because he was right, but Rody hadn't really said much either. When he said people didn't like to talk about them, he was included in that group.

Why would he want to talk about a group his father was involved in? Especially a group that no one liked. He knew how that would look if others knew.

He really didn't like that statement. It made his heart rate pick up. What did he mean by intimate? "Just because I live in an area where some members resided doesn't mean I know anything." Rody defended. Hell, even the Otheon police department was working with that cult.

Depends, the guy says. "And what kind of members would be the most useful to you then? What are you trying to get out of them?" The brunette asks as his brows furrow. He's curious, but wary. He wants to know what this guy is looking for specifically, but knows he's not guaranteed any answers.

After all, the guest is the one looking for answers. Yet here Rody was asking all the questions.

Oh, he didn't expect Deku to agree.

Or to start analyzing his voice.

"Comparing my voice to your hero friends, eh? Though your deductions surprisingly make sense, my voice is my own; smooth and playful. Just like me."

@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.

————————————————————————

I haven’t done a portrait in awhile and I’ve wanted to draw Rody since I saw the movie. So two birds, one stone sort of thing. It is rather difficult to turn a cartoon bird into something realistic but me and my near zero experience drawing birds did our best.

Pino was fine after the shove, quickly flying up towards the roofs of the buildings they were running past. Pino got a whole birds-eye view of the chase now, still following her owner.

Rody couldn’t help but chuckle to himself as he heard the stranger come to the realization that he did, in fact, take her case. About time she realized.

“What can I say? Finders keepers!” He looked back with such a snarky grin, only for it to vanish when his eyes met her hands. 

She has a quirk? Fire related nonetheless. He put his focus back on the path in front of him; it would all be fine. He just had to lose her. Easy. Rody knew his home town better than her after all.

With that said, Rody made a swift left turn into a branching alleyway.

  Looked like those two were in a hurry or were running from something, either way it had caught Serena’s interest. When something caught her interest naturally she would want to investigate it to see what was going on there, turning back to see if anyone was following them before seeing if anyone was looking at her. Thankfully nobody was so just to be a little safe the girl flickered her wrist and made a cloud of smoke appear behind her before giving chase to the brunette and his feathered friend.   If someone was following then it may take a second to get through the smoke if they were looking but by then they would be long gone so it works out! Maybe she would even make her first friend here so Serena caught up to them with curious eyes. “So what’s got your feathers all ruffled to be in such a hurry?”

“Why not? If she were to dress up as any hero, it might as well be the best one around, don’t you agree?” Izuku could argue back and say that the best was All Might, and Rody would disagree, and they would go on with their conversation like so.

But Deku just had to be so aware of Pino.

“Hm?” He tried to act innocent, as if he didn’t know the exact reason. “She must be bundling up in my hair for warmth. Sometimes those little feathers of hers aren’t enough.”

...

“Why isn’t there a Deku one?”

It’s funny how people always imagine heroes to be a magic eraser of some kind; you want to have something to lull your doubts into silence? Heroes! Some hero is surely already on their way to save this woman pulled into a stranger’s car. That agency next block is definitely just now gearing up to help evacuate people out of that gigantic highway car wreck! A hero must have already snatched the most powerful drug’s formula from the hands of evil… right?

The silence, while not given enough time to grow painfully uncomfortable, wraps around the two like a veil as Izuku places both his hands flat on the table. He waits, lips pressed together as if thinking about what he’s been told, and after a moment passes, looks up so his eyes can meet Rody’s again. “Do you really believe that?” The question rings out nearly sorrowful, the boy’s intonation mixed with a worried look on his face. “I wouldn’t be here if that was the case. Sadly.”

At least the creative truth leaves this one thing without taking its claim on it: Izuku truly is unhappy about having to travel all the way here. It would be so much easier for him to just steal the formula from someone who has already retrieved it.

“I don’t think the police are going to be too helpful here, really, and every day matters. You know how they tend to be…”

He was a fool to think he could just walk away from this. Gray irises met green as Rody’s eyebrows furrowed in thought. Did he believe that?

Not really, no. He hadn’t seen any headlines about ‘Heroes Safely Secure Humarise’s Drug!’ Which seemed like a pretty important thing to tell the world, right? That they had nothing to worry about? He hated that the guy had a point. If he was here for it, then... it had to still be out there.

Rody knew exactly how the police were; he knew they wouldn’t be of much help, but recommended them to get the guy off his back. But that obviously didn’t work.

Sighing from where he now stood, he leaned forward, putting his hand on the table. “If I help you,” this was a bad idea, “how much are you willing to pay me?” Hey, he needed money. And maybe the idea of paying someone would steer the other away. If he kept going though, giving information and details wasn’t as bad as getting physically involved... Maybe. It’s not like Rody was gonna fly the green-haired guest over there himself. He wouldn’t go that far.

“Deku...”

Rody finally let go of the pink bird, letting her hover nearby. He proceeded to wrap his arms around Izuku for a comforting hug, holding him close and tight as his heart pounded against his chest. Now was the time for some heartfelt honesty it seemed. Something that Rody still wasn’t completely used to.

“...Because love is risky. But it’s a risk most are willing to take since love makes life worthwhile..” He was embarrassed to even say such things but he couldn’t let this be a one sided conversation.

“I’m not worried about you making me upset at all.. You’re incredibly thoughtful and respectful. You always mean well.” One of Rody’s hands moved up, running it through the back of Deku’s hair. “You’re okay. We’re okay.”

  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.
