Hearing Uraraka Admit That She Used To Care About Popularity And All That Gave Rody A Moment Of Whiplash.

Pino rubbed at her face with her wings, as if Rody was trying to shake his own panic away. He couldn’t help but squint at the small motion she did. Thankfully, it wasn’t easily readable... This time around anyway.

“Hm?” Rody glanced over at Deku, his worries about Pino expressing his emotions being brushed to the side. “You think so?” He brought the outfit away from the pink bird to check the price tag. “Hm... Not too bad. I guess she does deserve something.” He grinned as he gave the bird a pat and rub to the head.

Once that was done, Pino hopped onto Rody's shoulder, his focus back on his friend. "I can go pay for this and then we can head to the next place, that sound good?"

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!”

“Er... Can we at least scratch off that last one?”

Rody never said it out loud... But it was true. The fact Izuku came to that conclusion threw Rody for a loop. How was he supposed to admit that??

Rody's panic vanished as Deku spoke of his insecurities, going into full support mode. "Hey hey, there's nothing to apologize for. I'm sure plenty of people actually find you attractive, but never say it out right. It's... embarrassing to admit that kind of stuff, ya know?" He looked down at his closed hands where Pino still resided, biting at his lip in thought.

"You have unruly soft hair, bright eyes, star-like freckles, a nice physique, and a personality that's like sunshine. You're... adorable really. I think anyone you meet will come to that conclusion, even if they try and deny it." Rody wanted to make Deku feel better, even if it was embarrassing for him to speak the truth about his own thoughts towards the hero's appearance.

Another loud squawk came from Rody's hands, his heartrate picking up. Looks like the panic was back. Deku didn't just say that, right? Rody looked up at the other to get a read on his expression before quickly looking back down. This was too much for his heart to handle. He wasn't expecting the conversation to go in this direction.

His leg started to bounce out of anxiousness, his gaze focused on his hands. "How... can you say that so outright, Deku..." The brunette mumbled, unable to make eye contact as his face heated up. 

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...?!

The snarkiness quickly faded away as his heart skipped in a panic. "What do you mean by making it truE-!!!" He yelped as he was grabbed so effortlessly. It was easy to forget how strong Midoriya was with how cute and small he was. This man had literally carried him multiple times and it still managed to surprise him.

"H-Hey-" Rody cleared his throat, staring at the other. This was not the situation he thought he would be in when they entered this closet. Yet, here they were. "Come on, Deku. No need for that. If you want to prove you can lie just as well as I can, then you can just do that! No need to..." He gestured at their positions. "Do... this..."

Pino was quiet. Rody didn't know what to expect from the hero anymore. He waited with bated breath for Deku's response.

  Honestly Izuku was a bit offended with the implication that Rody was making, sure he may not be a delinquent like Rody but even he was capable of lying! Ok he wants to make this so called lie believable then he is going to make it believable by not making it into a lie.   The greenette was on Rody in a matter of seconds, grabbing him by his jaw with one hand to turn his head to the side while his other hand tugged on the collar of Rody’s shirt enough to expose his neck. Leaning in to leave a noticeable mark on the brunette’s neck even after he would straighten himself out. 

“why do you have that look on your face?” (QuirkIdol :3)

"What look?" Not a question he would usually hear on the job. Especially while standing behind the bar.

"Did I lose my customer service smile or something?"

what flavor is your soul?

mint

oh spry little dryad, spinning sprite, you drift through life as light as lion down. you are the chimes of churchbells and the laughter of faeries. gossamer and spidersilk shine from your ribs. life is fleeting, you more than anyone should know that. something we love today may never see tomorrow's sun. you pride yourself on skipping through moments, soft and merry. but you do not let your soul be tethered. is it for freedom or fear, sweetheart, that you do not let yourself be tamed? you are as fresh as and wild as bluebirds in snow, you smile at your problems before dashing away. hoping they will never catch up to you. but even nike can't run forever. you have been hurt before. but that is life. you wish to never feel that way again, but regretfully I must tell you that is nothing short of impossible. life is but part sorrow part sun, you cannot have teacups until they are burned by the kiln. oh I see the scars child, they shimmer down your chest, I see the pain in your eyes. but I also see the stardust. keep smiling, but allow tears also. you do not have to be solely wonder, fear, you are allowed to be bitter. so bite, and scream, and laugh, and love. that is what makes life worth living.

i have no social life, it’s dedicated to bone soup

you’ll never get rid of me

"Great. Looking forward to your constant company."

He bit his lip in thought as the other pulled away. Since when was the hero such a tease? Rody brought a hand up to rub his neck where it had been marked. He felt his ears get hot with embarrassment. Pino proceeded to let out a jumbled mess of chirps.

"Geez Hero..." He managed to make eye contact. "I know you're daring and all when it comes to hero work but... I wasn't expecting that from you." An amused huff as the brunette fell back into his playful nature.

“Maybe we should change the story that you went for it first. The little nerd has big guts and couldn't contain himself~"
