After The Envelope Was Taken, Pino Settled Down In Her Favorite Resting Spot: Izuku’s Hair. The Nervousness

Rody knew first-hand that Deku was on another level with his quirk. Whatever it was... It allowed him to do a lot and was definitely fitting for a hero, but so many other quirks were also well-suited for the job. Not every hero had a power-type quirk, and that was okay.

"Of course I do. I know you can. You’re only going to keep improving and become an even better hero as time goes on.” He shifted a bit in his seat. "It's normal and completely understandable that you want to do so much more. It's just not attainable right now. But it will be eventually. All you can do is keep working harder and get stronger so that you can do more later down the line. You have to focus on the present since that ultimately affects your future."

Phew, that was a lot. He didn't have a sincere talk like this often.

"Eh, but what do I know, right?" Rody gave a shrug. "I may not be a hero myself, but I did mean every word I said."

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?"

(Muse: Izuku midoriya) "SEVEN MINUTES"

16. Discuss the 7 minute story they should tell the others

“I could untie my tie and... Oh! I could put my hair down and ruffle it up.” Rody was deep into explaining how they could make it look like the two had done ‘what they were supposed to’ in this closet. Just a story wouldn’t suffice; they had to look the part too.

“If they ask us who went for the kiss first, say that I did.” He was in the middle of undoing his tie, letting out a chuckle as they formulated this entertaining lie. 

“Obviously I swept you off your feet with my incredible charm, ha.” Tie undone. Check. “I think if we said you went for it first, they would ask you more questions... Those are your friends out there after all, and I’m used to making things up. It’s better for me to do the talking, ya know?”

i'll let deku know you asked that

"Wh- Hey! I didn't say anything!"

“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?"

"I guess you make a good point. A really good point."

Izuku was positively beaming. "Well, I'd be disappointed if I wasn't!" he said with a faint giggle. "We're dating, right? I should know the most about you!"

“Hey, they’re not wrong. Red suits you just as well.” He had a smug yet friendly smile plastered on his face as he gripped Red’s hand and gave it a nice shake. “Ei?” He parroted the nickname. “Nice, short, and easy to remember. Great to meet ya.” Rody still struggled with Japanese names from time to time, so he was grateful for the shorter option. 

Pino squawked much to Rody’s embarrassment, even if he didn’t show it. The brunette was taken aback by the sudden question and the sudden mention of Deku.

“I... do.” There was really only one reasonable explanation he could think of. “You must be one of his hero friends then? From UA?” Wait- did that mean Deku talked about him to his friends? How much did that nerd say?

        “Uwa–whatcha got there?”

————————————————————————

I haven’t done a portrait in awhile and I’ve wanted to draw Rody since I saw the movie. So two birds, one stone sort of thing. It is rather difficult to turn a cartoon bird into something realistic but me and my near zero experience drawing birds did our best.

I haven’t drawn rody in a while so. Why not.

🧑‍🤝‍🧑(A truly valid question I believe)

x

🧑‍🤝‍🧑 - Do they have any siblings?

((hMmM i WONDER.... I will answer anyway

Yes! Rody has a little brother and sister named Roro and Lala! Lala is the youngest of the three siblings. Since they don't have canon ages, I like to think that Rody is around 6 years older than Roro, and Roro is around 4/5 years older than Lala. 🤔 Math is hard-))

Team Up Mission 16, Rody Soul and Pino!!
