Ooc - Been Busy With Work And A special Project...

"Oh? Can't wait for all the fun facts I'll get to hear then." If only Rody really knew the amount of All Might information he would be in for.

Rody put the All Might costume back for the moment being, reaching out to take the hoodie from Deku. Their hands brushed against each other as he took it out of the greenette's hand. He definitely took notice of that, but showed no reaction. Pino looked away during the interaction.

He observed the hoodie, thumbs rubbing against the fabric. "We already match with our headbands so, it's not much of a stretch to match outfits too." Rody held the hoodie up to Pino. No confident hero pose this time around, but she did seem content with the outfit.

“Well, she does like it. No surprise there.” He let out a soft laugh.

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!”

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.

wake up, it's my son's birthday in japan

————————————————————————

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.

“I think that much is obvious based on our goodbyes in Otheon.” The fact of the matter was that getting his pilot’s license, or even enough spare cash, to fly to Japan would take some time.

“Don’t you want to see me?”

@rody-soul​

        “Rody…” 

        “Don’t you want to come see me?”

ㅤ— You can't catch Rody!!

I MISSED TW O

Don’t look at me

I’ve done important work today okay

“Uhuh, sure.” Rody wasn’t here for it. He didn’t want to listen.

“No big villains hang around here. Or heroes for that matter. The only people I ever have to worry about are the police, and they haven’t caught on so far. I know how to handle myself.” He really hated this guy mentioning protection and his siblings. Rody’s protected them just fine all these years. Who would attack them when neighbors didn’t even want to talk to them in the first place?

Pino reflected the thought about how secluded his family was, her feathers drooping a bit. What a pathetic thought to have at a time like this. There was a big sigh.

“...Please...I just want to go home... Leave me out of whatever you’re doing...”

  “Oh looks like my little hunch was right on the money then your little bird friend is your quirk!” The bird didn’t even stir once after knocking Rody out until the brunette came around so he wasn’t sure if the hunch was correct until now. “That’s adorable they’re so tiny and cute.” Carefully picking up the small comfy cage he had Pino inside and brought it over to Rody, placing it on the table within arms length of them.    “There we go now you can see I didn’t harm you or your little friend here. I don’t even know what’s in the case there for starters, didn’t look inside it yet so I don’t know if it’s anything I want sweetheart. Second I have no intentions of harming you at all, I heard from word of mouth that you’re a carrier of sorts. An interesting and risky profession it is, even I can admit to that as a villain. Now circling around to what it is that I want, I want to propose something to you.”   Moving a little closer to the brunette and gave him a reassuring smile, having his hands visible the entire time he was speaking to show that he really had no intentions of harming him. “I do apologize for tying you up but couldn’t have you running away so soon can I? What I want is to offer you something, you’re doing this to care for family right? Well my offer is this, I can offer you and the ones your caring for protection and security and in exchange I get people to share this place with. Having this mansion all to myself is a lot for just one person minus the help i’ll be hiring.”

asking myself “could i feasibly parkour in this?” before buying an article of clothing.
