Rody nodded as if to say "you're welcome" for the compliments. He noticed the small smile on Izuku's face and he knew his own embarrassment was worth it.
He was practically shutting down as Deku kept speaking. Rody wasn't used to this type of situation. He never had a crush. No one ever flustered him to this extent. How dare Deku make him like this! He swears that this is the fastest his heart has ever been, and he's ran away from cops and villains before!
Ah, is this what they call a confession?
He wanted to put up a front and say something snarky along the lines of 'well, who wouldn't like me?' But he couldn't with how sincere Deku was being. He also just... couldn't speak. Damn it. This wasn't a good time for words to escape him.
Chirp!!
That's right.. Pino could do it for him.
Rody hesitantly opened up his hands, Pino shooting out from them almost immediately. The manifestation of his feelings flew at Deku's face full force, giving his freckles delicate pecks with her beak as Rody peeked up at them. Well, at least she didn't go for the mouth.
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...?!

Pulling his hands away would be rude right? Not that he wanted to pull them away anyways but... He really didn’t know what to do in this moment. Rody had never experienced this sort of feeling while growing up, nor did he have the time for it if he ever had. This was all new.
He felt Deku’s hands leave his, thinking this mess of a situation was over. What a fool he was; thinking that he would regain his composure and continue the conversation like normal. The feeling of hands on his face was completely unexpected and sent him into even more of a panic. “De-” He tried to speak up as his head was turned. Time seemed to move in slow motion as he saw Izuku’s face inch closer and closer and- ...!
He immediately froze up and his heart was pounding. It was all he could hear- could Deku hear it? He hoped not. Just like with the hand-holding, Rody made no effort to pull away, letting the kiss continue. This was not a thing just friends would do. His lips twitched with nerves and indecision of what to do. With some hesitation though, his hands had rested on the shorter one’s shoulders. He wasn’t pushing him away; he simply wanted to get his attention.

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.
