ooc - Let’s do a little update, shall we?
So a month ago, on June 3rd, I graduated from college! Woo! I officially have a Bachelor’s in 2D Animation!
So what have I been up to the past month? Honestly? Sleep. And family stuff. But also my animation team and I are still wrapping up our film because we did not finish before graduation like we were supposed to. Woops. And I’m partaking in Art Fight this year, so lots of drawing, yay. But I am alive! I’m very active on Discord, so if anyone wants that, just DM me! I’m looking forward to being more active here soon! <3
As much as the cute comment was appreciated, the sight of the sharp teeth caused Pino to scoot back ever so slightly. ...Are his teeth part of his quirk?
"Her name is Pino. She might be a little shy at the moment." Scared was more like it, but Rody was sure that the redhead meant well and didn't want to make him feel bad.
@rody-soul replied to your post:
*very slowly hides Pino out of sight*
“Uwa–whatcha got there?”
Seeing Deku get even redder was causing Rody's mind to buffer. The hero was embarrassed, but he was so cute- no- stop thinking like that! Now's not the time! Pino was persistent, pecking away at his palms as his hands twitched. Pino couldn't be free at a moment like this. No way.
“See! A perfectly reasonable explanation!” He said in response to Deku’s work out answer. Maybe he could get out of this conversation with that.
Or not.
He was rendered speechless at the hero’s question. Part of him wanted to run out of here, but he knew that wouldn’t really do anything. “Um...” Rody tried to hide his face into his own shoulder. He wasn’t used to feeling like this, whatever this feeling was, so it took him a moment to finally respond with what he thought was a proper answer. “...Y-Yes? I mean... I saw the back of you a lot while we travelled and observed you so... I would be lying if I said no.” Now he just hoped that he didn’t make Deku uncomfortable.
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…?!

“Good. That’s good.” A visible sigh of relief came from Rody. He didn’t expect the situation to escalate in such a way; he was glad Uraraka was alright. That they were all alright. At least this whole situation was almost resolved. The worst of it was over.
Rody stood by as the kidnapper was taken away, rubbing the kid’s back in comfort when he heard his voice getting shaky. Pino sat on Rody’s shoulder, showing a clear display of concern through her eyes and body language. “She’s right. We’ll find them. Or they’ll find us.” Parents missing a child? They must be in a panic and calling whoever they can.
“Say, is there any place near your home that you like to go to often? Like a park?” Rody asked with a gentle smile. That way, they would be closer to the kid’s house, while also providing a type of distraction.
Time flew by like the wind. Between classwork and trying to help Rody feel accommodated at UA, Ochako had barely enough time for herself!
But she decided to ask Hatsume for a new upgrade to her uniform and was passing the hallway when she noticed Rody's door to his guest room stood open. Sneaking a peak, she poked her head in but to her surprise he didn't seem to be there. Had he simply forgotten to close the door?
Scratching her head, she continued on her way to Hatsume when her stomach growled. Although she had a small lunch a few hours prior and wasn't very hungry, she still wanted to eat something.
I guess I'll meet Hatsume later.
With that thought, Ochako made her way to the kitchen to see if she could find a snack.

rode-meister, is it true that you saw deku nakey when he fell in the river?
"Nooo, I didn't. I have common decency and respect. I lended him my hoodie while his stuff dried in the back of the truck." That was the plain and simple truth. The poor green-haired hero was shivering for miles.
Izuku wore a small flush on his face as he approached his frie--boyfriend. He held a decently sized gift bag in his hands and held it out towards Rody. "H-happy birthday!" he managed with a bright smile. Inside was a portable pilot's tool kit and case as well as a pilot's LED pen. There was even another gift bag reserved for Pino. "I wasn't sure if Pino was born around your birthday so I thought I'd get her something too," he added sheepishly.
Rody was surprised to see the other approach with gifts. Did he ever tell the hero his birthday?
...
Did Roro and Lala tell him?
He smiled with a faint blush, politely taking the gifts from his boyfriend. His look softened more at the mention of Pino. Rody loved that Deku took her into account.
"Heh, we usually celebrate the same day since it's easier that way." Pino chirped in, happily ruffling her feathers. As Rody began to fiddle with the gifts and tissue paper, Pino flew over to Deku, pecking his cheek before getting comfortable on his shoulder. “Thank you though, Izuku. You really didn’t need to get me anything.”
Upon seeing what was in his gift bag, he had to smirk. “Well well, the little nerd has been doing his research, eh?” The brunette teased as he pulled out the tool kit and pen. Deku was already spoiling him... he had a good idea of what these things cost. He was excited nonetheless about the gifts, which was displayed through Pino’s little hops on the hero’s shoulder.
Rody held up the pen, smoothly flipping it through his fingers. “Definitely going to be using this for my late-night studying.” He couldn’t resist clicking the pen and turning the light on and off. He was having fun; he would get to Pino’s gift in a moment.
"What...?" So Rody did hear him correctly before.
"He's my friend and a hero. It's not unusual to look at him with admiration." Rody pointed to his own head, poking at it a few times with a sly grin. "You're imagining things. Though, you approaching me about this out of all things is quite interesting."
There was a pause for dramatic effect, Rody's grin only getting bigger.
"Are you jealous?"
continued from here.
“Don’t fuckin’ play dumb with me!” Katsuki snapped. “I’ve seen the way you look at him when you don’t think he notices.” He clicked his tongue loudly. “Tch! The damn nerd’s oblivious but I’m not.”
“You have feelings for him, don’t you?”

❝ no, i don’t need you. but i do want you. my life is fine without you, but it’s great when you’re in it. i don’t need to be dependent on you for this relationship to be important. ❞
❝ well, i already did the ‘kicking their ass for being a jerk’ part. now i’m doing the whole, showing up for you and making sure you’re okay now part. ❞

❝ you know i’m not good for you right? there’s probably a hundred other people you could be going to right now instead of me. ❞
❝ can i say something here? or do you need another minute of rambling before i get to do the part where i say what you need to hear and you realize you’re freaking out over nothing? ❞
❝ don’t you get that i need you? you’re always going on about being fine and being able to manage on your own and i’m sure that’s true. but what if i’m not? what if i need you in my life. and i need you to let me help you with your life too? ❞

Katsuki’s stance relaxed further when Noodle Hair confirmed that the kid was okay. One less thing to worry about…
Honestly, he barely remembered shit from his stay in that hospital. He was too busy bitching about the pain he felt from his injuries to pay much attention to anything else. He glanced between the two siblings and gave a nod. “I kinda figured it out by the hair,” he bluntly admitted.
He would have said something else but was quickly interrupted by Burnin’ and a police car arriving on the scene.
“Bakugou!” The hero was wrapping capture tape around the villain and helping the police lift the man up. She grinned over at him. “Nice job!”
“Yeah, yeah!” He huffed. Though, even with his nonchalant reaction, there was a hint of a smirk on his lips.
“You can go back to the Agency if you want!” she added before helping to haul off the robber.
Katsuki just shrugged. Not like his shift was likely gonna get much more exiting than that. “Alright.”
With that taken care of, he refocused his attention back on Rody. He raised an eyebrow. “So why the hell are you here?” The question was still burning in the back of his head. “Deku didn’t tell me shit about you visiting.”
The hair? Ah, the noodle hair. Of course. How could he forget?
Rody stepped back with his siblings when the pro and police arrived. While Bakugou interacted with them, Rody continued to comfort Roro and Lala, giving them comforting head rubs and words of reassurance. It also allowed him a moment to properly breathe.
He almost wanted to tell the other off for swearing in front of the kids, but he would let it slide this time.
"Oh, Deku doesn’t know I’m here, actually.” There was a sheepish rub to the back of his head, messing up his ponytail a bit as his other arm adjusted its hold around Roro. “It’s kind of a surprise? We wanted to spend a day or two by ourselves to explore the city before meeting up with Deku.” Knowing how he was, if Deku knew he and his siblings were coming, he would have wanted to pitch in and help- but Rody wanted to do this on his own. Additionally, Deku was probably busy with school, or even with patrols like Bakugou was. Rody didn’t want to overwhelm the hero by showing up in the middle of the week. He could wait till the weekend.
Oh.
“Don’t tell him that. Or that you saw me-” Unless the three of them went to see him today instead. Which wasn’t always a bad idea, it just wasn’t the original plan.
Eh, I'll figure this out later. Rody Soul RP Blog !!WHM spoilers!!
