Deku was so... bright about everything. Even if it was just about cats.
“Ha...” It was admiring really.
Rody followed him into the store, glancing back over at the cats now that they were inside. He quietly hoped that they would find good homes. He looked up to the signs, squinting at the writing. Rody had started studying Japanese in his free time, but hadn’t had the chance to test his skills out in the real world. It seemed like he was still a struggling to read.
He caught up to Deku, squeezing past the same customers, eyes running over the collection of toys. As if on cue, Pino flew over and landed on the perch, bells ringing as she did so.
“Cute-” She began hopping in place, the bells ringing more and more with each hop. “Okay I can see a small issue.”
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!”

Is the bone soup good soup?
"No. I've never even tried it, if it even exists, which it probably doesn't, but the answer is no."
It was hard to miss the earlier back and forth conversation, especially with Bakugou involved. It was hard to ignore any conversation the loud blonde took part in. The hero always held himself so high-up; was always so snarky and confident. It would be amazing to see him get scared something small in a supposedly ‘haunted’ house.
That something small? Pino.
Rody had taken the time to quickly prepare a small piece of fabric for Pino to be covered in. Now she had her own little ghost costume. Rody made sure to run on ahead and climb up one of the trees, checking that he was in a good position to at least hear any reaction Bakugou may have had. He had to suppress his chuckles as soon as he saw the blonde approach and enter the house.
Letting the silence and nerves build up for a good while, Pino hid as she let Bakugou get a feel for the place. When she felt the timing was right, she flew toward the blonde with a loud squawk.
How in the ever loving fuck did he let Kaminari talk him into doing this shit?! The dumbasses in his friend group were spooking each other with scary stories and, unsurprisingly, Bird Brain was the one who came up with the only legitimately creepy one.
There was mention of an abandoned house in the forest that led up the hill to U.A. that too many people had been too scared to go to. Allegedly, it was haunted by a family that was murdered there, but there was no documented proof of it. Katsuki thought it was a bunch of bullshit.
Pikachu and Tape Arms decided to dare him to go there at night to prove them wrong. Of course, he refused up until they challenged him and like a damn played fiddle, he gave in.
So now, Katsuki stood in front of an old dilapidated house with nothing but a flashlight and an EMF meter in his hand (courtesy of Deku, that damn nerd).
“…This is just gonna be a waste of my fuckin’ time…” he grumbled to himself before entering one of the busted out windows of the house.
“Just pulling your leg, bud. I promise I’m well-hydrated and I’m doing.. okay in the sleep department.”
@rody-soul
“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.”
"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."
"Gee, thanks. I don't really have a choice in what kinda quirk I get, ya know? At least I can choose to have a nicer personality." Hey, if the explosive blonde wanted to pick at him, Rody would meet him half-way.
"And it's not so bad. I can tell you what's actually annoying, though." Rody knew very well that he was treading dangerous ground by talking like this, but said it all with a smirk anyhow.
―― 〈 ❝ you probably have got the dumbest fuckin’ quirk in the entire world. ❞ katsuki says with a snarl, does he like rody ? fuck no, he don’t. katsuki wasn’t a fan, not like dumb idiot deku and half and half. ❝ doesn’t it get annoyin’ bein an actual fuckin’ bird brain ? ❞ 〉 / × @rody-soul
It was a new day and the brunette and his family were in the middle of eating breakfast. Despite last night's event, the morning was surprisingly relaxing.
Thud.
Rody froze. Looks like he thought too soon. Did that idiot try to get up? Pino was already flying towards the bedroom, Rody following right behind her. He gripped the door handle and burst into the room in a panic. Seeing the situation, he groaned in annoyance.
"Don't you know when you're at your limit?" Rody marched on over without hesitation, helping Izuku get back up on his feet before gently shoving him to sit on the bed. He glared down at him with a serious expression as Pino sat in the corner, wallowing in worry.
"You're all messed up. You need to rest. Don't be stupid."

It had been quite a while since Izuku had actually seen Rody face to face but he still helped from a distance despite being pushed away. like leaving boxes of things at their home with no name of who had given them, protecting his siblings from trouble and teaching them how to fight so they can defend themselves. He had even bailed Rody out of trouble recently when one of those carrying jobs of his went wrong, just like he said it might in the future. thankfully he wasn’t spotted when chasing those people away so that was a silver lining there, he knew that boy wouldn’t be happy if he found out he was doing all this still despite being told that his help wasn’t wanted and to be left out of things.
As for himself however he had run into a problem of his own, having been beaten pretty badly. Blood was everywhere on him and he had left a trail of it behind until he had dragged himself up against a wall, feeling himself slowly lose consciousness. It would be fine Izuku just needed to catch his breath then he could make it back to his place to fix himself up, now passed out against the wall for anyone to find him in this state.
Eh, I'll figure this out later. Rody Soul RP Blog !!WHM spoilers!!
