It Was Hard To Miss The Earlier Back And Forth Conversation, Especially With Bakugou Involved. It Was

wake up rodydeku nation

some of the bits i like the most

If they had more time to banter they would get on eachothers’ case for being criminals all the time

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?"

Judging by the ease he shows as he agrees to the other’s request, the villain must be feeling pretty sure of himself now. “Just make it quick,” he asks of Rody, expression unchanged even when he finishes with a veiled warning: “I’ll know if you try anything, so… don’t.”

And just like that, Izuku lets go of the other boy’s arm, even going as far as to give him a small wave. “I’ll wait here.” And wait he does.

Minutes pass, and Izuku finds himself bored, but not alarmed. Instinct tells him Rody isn’t a dodgy character, and he’s going to keep himself true to his promise to come back — and Izuku has long learned to trust his gut feelings.

Despite the uneasiness, Rody responds in all seriousness, "I won't." He wasn't going to risk anything. Especially with his siblings nearby now. Rody steps back once he's freed. "I'll be back." And off he went, jogging to his destination.

It was ten minutes of checking on his siblings, making sure they had food for the night, telling them that he would be back later and that they should go to bed without him, and then changing into fresh clothes and saying goodbye.

He would be back. But leaving them made his heart sting and his stomach twist. It was never easy to just leave.

Jogging back up in a clean (but patched-up) hoodie and jeans, Rody was somewhat relieved to see the other still standing there. That meant he didn't follow him home. That meant he trusted Rody's word. "Alright." He spoke up to get Izuku's attention if his footsteps didn't alert him already. "So where are we getting this plane?"

Hearing Deku compliment his hard work took him aback. Deku was always one to raise others up like that... It really did help one feel good about themselves.

“Ah geez...” Rody brought a hand up to rub the back of his neck, giving a cunning smile. Meanwhile on his shoulder, Pino looked shy as she fidgeted with her wings. “I guess I have been working pretty hard, huh? But still, your help made all the difference.”

Rody watched with admiration as Izuku smiled and talked. It was so nice to see him again. To talk in person. Sure, it had been a good while since he last saw Deku, but did the hero always get this red so easily? The hero’s voice getting louder, and saying such embarrassing words towards Rody, really threw him for a loop. After a pause, he couldn’t help but laugh. 

“Aw man, Deku, you’re too much!” With such a red face and shouting something like that in a public space, how could Rody not think he was cute? He internally thanked his own quirk for not being able to say thoughts out loud, although Pino did fly over and settle on Deku’s green hair.

“Of course it’s fine! We got along so fast and went through so much in such a short time.. I didn’t want you to leave in the first place so.. Yeah, I missed you too.” 

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!”
