can pino eat blueberries? i wanna spoil the little angel.

"She can! I'm sure she would appreciate being spoiled; she loves the attention. And the food."

wut do u luv abt deku ?

"This question is kinda out of the blue, dontcha think, mysterious person?" Rody gave a snarky grin, Pino objecting with a chirp alongside him.

"He's a selfless hero, and a genuinely good person, what else can I say?" Rody wasn't one to be out right with his feelings, especially to a stranger. They shouldn't have expected much from him.

which aesthetic™ colour are you?

tangerine

You, frankly, are a goddamn delight. You bring light with you wherever you go, and whether you're aware of it or not, you're the life of the party. Despite your flamboyant nature, you're surprisingly soft. You give the sweetest gifts, and are probably the best amateur masseuse of your friend group. Those closest to you see this softness, and love you for it. Remember this when you are called "too much": there is no such thing as too much of you. People who say those things are just too small to have the space for your light. Don't tone it down, just find people who will treasure every piece of you.

rescuing a kidnapped character from the antagonist + sentence starters

“ you're okay... you're okay. “

“ just... two seconds. “

“ it's me, yeah, just me. “

“ are you hurt? “

“ i killed someone. someone in their group, someone close to them. that's why i'm here. “

“ you fucking idiot... look at what happened! “

“ did he hurt you? i swear, i'll kill him... “

“ are you okay with me touching you? “

“ why did you come here alone? “ “ he said he was going to kill you. i couldn't let that happen. “

“ i'm gonna save your life, asshole. “

“ you don't understand... we can't retaliate, not unless you're willing to lose men over a war we weren't equipped to deal with in the first place. “

“ are you okay? “ “ i don't know... i don't know what he did to me. to any of them. “

“ look, nobody's killing anyone, okay? not unless we have to. “

“ they'll come for me. they'll come for all of you for trying to save me. “

“ i was ready to die. “ “ how can you say that? “ “ because you can't risk your life to save mine! “

“ no, you don't get it, somebody has to die or this will never end. “

“ we can't lose more people, we can't lose you. “

“ if something happens to me, that's on you, okay? so you better fight for your survival, and don't come running with no martyr shit because if you die, i'm going to kill ever last person in this compound until they shoot me dead. “

“ you're safe, okay? “

“ let me look, hey, let me look. “

“ i loaded that gun. “ “ and i triggered it. “

“ how can you tell me to get out of here? “ “ because if i die, then at least i know i didn't take you with me. “

“ you have to leave. “ no, no way, i'm not leaving without you. “

“ no, you're bleeding... what happened? “

“ i can't believe this is happening... i mean, are you insane? “

“ what did you do to get in here? are you in trouble? did they see you?

“ i'm so sorry. “ “ it's okay. “

“ i'm going to get you out of here, okay? “

“ nobody is going to hurt you. “ “ but — “ “ you're safe. “

“ hey, look at me, look at me. you know me. “

“ i'm gonna help you, all right, so guide me through this. “

“ hey, hey, hey, there's no need to rush... “

“ it's my responsibility... i was the one taken captive, it's not your responsibility to save me. “

“ you didn't see him... they killed that man, right in front my eyes. “

“ it's over. “ “ no, no, you don't understand... there's no remorse. none at all, they grabbed that woman, cut her head off in one clean slate. “

“ i'm so sorry. “ “ let's just get out of here. “

“ just, give her a minute. she'll come around. “

“ nobody is blaming you for what happened tonight. “

“ from here on forward, we stick together. no more running off on our own. “

“ you're not a victim. you don't have to be if you don't want to be. i sure as hell didn't. “

“ you survived tonight. regardless of what happened, you survived. “

“ we're going to kill them, okay? no excuses, no remorse. “

“ i'm gonna open the door real slow, okay? “

“ hey, hey, hey, just take your time. “

“ his head, his eyes rolled... “ “ don't. don't think about it. “

“ look, you may not be in the right shape of mind to make that type decision, but i am, and i'm telling you, in about five minutes, this whole place is going to be swarmed by heavily armed soldiers ordered to kill us, willing to take a bullet to see it through so unless you want me to throw you over my shoulders like a rag doll, i suggest you get up off your ass and start moving. “

After such a long flight, it felt nice to stretch and get the legs moving again. Pino obviously felt the same as she flew around him, stretching out those wings and happily tweeting.

A luggage was being pulled behind him in one hand, a cell phone in the other. He had it on hand just in case he couldn't find Deku. The very thought of being in Japan and seeing Deku again kept him up for the past few nights. Don't worry, he still got sleep, but it was hard with all the excitement and nerves.

Curoo~!

The alert from Pino caused Rody to snap out of his thoughts and look up.

That green mess of hair could stand out anywhere.

Rody's pace quickened, basically running to the hero. "Deku!" He let go of his luggage and happily welcomed the hug, immediately hugging him back. It was a tight hug, one full of longing and warmth, and Rody couldn't help but lift the shorter friend off the ground in excitement.

He pulled out of the hug, keeping one hand on Izuku's shoulder. He managed to keep his composure as well, but Pino gave away how happy he really was with the tears in her eyes.

"Aha! I know!" Rody matched the hero's grin, giving his shoulder a nudge with the hand that was resting on it. "It's all thanks to you honestly. Ha, you must have really missed me if you helped fly me out here, eh, Deku?"

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!”

@rody-soul​ 

He watched as her usual smile finally came back. It made him happy that he could cheer her up.

Rody couldn’t hold his own smile back as she spoke with more energy this time around. It seemed his words really did mean something to her. “There you go. That’s the mindset you should have.” He smiled bigger. “You’re exactly where you need to be to achieve the best version of yourself. It’s okay to have worries and doubts, but never forget that you will reach your end goal.”

He glanced at her fist before looking back at her, seeing the determination in her eyes. A small laugh came from him. He wasn’t used to the word ‘hero’ being directed towards him. “Yeah, you’re welcome. I’m glad I could help and thanks for... confiding in me.” It was usually hard for Rody to trust others so easily. Thus, it was nice to see that his friend trusted him enough to express her own worries to him.

Ochako's hands turned to fists at her sides, brows furrowing before she shut her eyes. Of course he was right but...it made her feel like...she wasn't enough. "I...can't even make the life of my parents easier. And I don't want to feel like...like I'm not a good heroine." She sighed and opened her eyes. "It's just...I've seen how fragile this whole world is and I wish I could do more, even if I can't do anything for myself."

She put on a sad smile. "I guess that's a silly thought, huh?"

@rody-soul

“Finally, something we can agree on.”

“I’m not ashamed to admit it…”

Katsuki sneered wide as the inkling of a blush crossed his face. “I’d let Deku crush me with his thighs.” It’d be his ideal way to die. 

Rody Soul | My Hero Academia: World Heroes Mission

He couldn’t help but laugh at how offended the hero looked. It was the truth though! Rody was way more experienced with lying and being believable. And they were Deku’s friends! How could Izuku possibly lie right to their faces? It was way easier for Rody in this situation.

“Wha-” Out of instinct, Rody leaned back against the wall of the closet, but was unable to escape the hero’s grasp. He could feel his shirt collar being pulled down and it caused the hidden Pino to squawk. “What are you doing Deku- Hey- Hey!” Rody’s hands were gripping onto Deku’s shoulders, but even with all his objections, he didn’t shove the other back at all.

  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.
