have you met aoyama yet?

"Aoyama... Aoyama..." He was trying to recall the name. "I haven't met whoever that is. My guess is that they're one of Deku's hero friends, though." There were too many classmate names to remember, especially when he hadn't properly met all of them yet.

"Again, thank you." Doesn't everyone love being insulted like this? From the spot in Rody's ponytail, Pino was starting to rustle around. Rody knew he didn't have an incredibly impressive quirk, but maybe, just maybe, Bakugou was getting on his nerves. A little.

"Wow, good job, Hero, I guess you are smarter than you look."

“Wow, so soon!” Rody reached up to pat the bird a couple of times. It was his way of telling her to calm down after the previous outburst.

“That works for me. You just let me know whenever you’re all set to head out. I’ll make sure to be ready by then.”

"You can't tell me what to do."

          “i might not be able to make you sleep or drink water, but it does beg the question on how you’re doing.”

when u get close to someone n u just think ‘i wonder when they will leave’ and 'it’s gonna rly hurt when they do’

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...?!

Judging by his looks alone, Izuku doesn’t seem concerned by the other refusing him. “Of course it wasn’t,” he agrees with yet another one of those wide smiles as he hooks his arm around Rody’s elbow. “Just as delivering incomplete information.” The way he’s talking about it, as if discussing the weather or the prices in the neighboring grocery shop, makes Izuku seem much different than he was the day before, and the day before that. Colder, despite the tone.

“You’re going with me, Rody,” he moves to explain, “Because you didn’t deliver what I expected from you.” He fishes out his phone from his pocket and begins scrolling the contacts list as he speaks. “That, and because I’m not stupid. I didn’t have the time to verify what you did get me, so I’m taking you as my insurance policy. If the location doesn’t check out, I’ll have you near so you don’t vanish with the payment, and I’ll just keep bothering you to get me more.” It does make sense, one would have to admit, and even of someone who does work for a legitimate agency. And his attitude? Somewhat plausible; agents have to adjust their behaviors to get what they need, right…?

“I’ll get you home by midnight, don’t worry. You won’t be breaking your curfew,” he finishes with a joke.

Rody noticeably leaned away as Izuku linked their arms together, but he didn't pull his arm away. "Hey, I did my best. I got you more information than you originally had, ya know." The guy was honestly lucky it was Rody of all people who helped him out. Any other person probably wouldn't have been able to get the same piece of information.

Damn chip... Even if it did have all the information that Izuku was looking for, he still would have been dragged along, wouldn't he? It was smart to since Rody could have written down complete nonsense just for some money. Izuku was smart. What he said was hard to argue with because Rody would have done the same if he was in his position. He stole a glance at his partner's phone while he debated on a response. "Fine." He answered, albeit reluctantly, but it was an answer nonetheless.

Oh, he's got jokes now. Rody might have laughed if he wasn't so concerned. Hearing that at least eased some of his worries, though. He wouldn't be gone for long but still... he would be gone without any warning. His siblings would worry. "...Can I stop by my place before we go..?"

Rody couldn’t help but smile at Deku’s gentleness with Pino. The red on his face slowly faded away as he watched the two interact. This was nice.

“Oh, right.” Rody turned towards his luggage, grabbing hold of it again. Guess he couldn’t stand here and stare at Deku and Pino all day. “This is all I have, so that’s one less stop for us.” He gestured forward with his hand, smiling back at him. “Lead the way, Deku!”

Even if Deku was embarrassed, and Rody was a bit flustered, the warmth of the conversation and laughter was really pleasant. Rody hadn’t felt this kind of pure joy in a while. He was grateful to have a friend like Deku.

Rody got red in the face when Izuku asked such a thing. Wasn’t it obvious?

“Ah- She-” He was cut off by Pino chirping as she hopped onto Deku’s hand. She was flapping her wings rapidly and being louder than Rody expected. Pino was definitely beyond happy to see him, and Rody only got redder at the sight of her display.

“Well, there’s your answer.”

Izuku had surprisingly noticed Rody’s blush. Maybe it was because it was getting so dark on his face? It was enough to ease some of Izuku’s own flustered state. 

He brought Pino down to eye level and used the index finger on his other hand to softly pet the small bird on the head. “Well, I missed you too, Pino!” he replied with a giggle. 

He then took notice of Rody’s carry-on bags. Maybe they should at least deal with customs before doing anything else? 

“Do you have other luggage to pick up from baggage claims?” he asked as he returned his focus to his friend. “We should probably at least start walking towards customs,” he added with a sheepish smile. 

Pino flew back towards him with a loud chirp. It caused Rody to look up since she had only been flying around silently before. Something must have caught her attention.

Rody froze in place at the sight suddenly in front of him. His heart felt like it was going to leap out at any moment. He was so happy but so so worried at the same time. These emotions were stirring up within him and needed to be let out.

"..Izuku."

Rody prepared for the hug once he saw Deku take his first steps. Upon impact, he stumbled back a bit but kept them both up right nonetheless. His heart shattered at the sound and sight of Izuku sobbing. He quickly wrapped his arms around him, giving a tight, comforting squeeze.

It didn't take long for Rody to start tearing up, burying his face into the green mess of hair, holding him even closer.

"...Y-You had me worried sick..."

Izuku was tired. Exhausted, honestly. Physically, emotionally, and any other type of exhausted that existed. After Uraraka managed to convince the civilians to let him rest at U.A., the last of his adrenaline drained from him. He could barely stand, so it was no surprise when his male classmates lifted him into the air and carried him off to the bath. 

Though, as he was being carted off, he managed to glance around at the familiar surroundings of the common area. Though he’d been away for nearly two months, it felt more like an entire year instead. 

Out of the corner of his eye, he spotted an oddly familiar pink bird flying across the living room. There was no way, right...? 

There was no way he was here...! 

He was just hallucinating from exhaustion. That had to be it! Still, Izuku could feel his heart ache as he was pulled into the bathroom.
