Pino rubbed at her face with her wings, as if Rody was trying to shake his own panic away. He couldn’t help but squint at the small motion she did. Thankfully, it wasn’t easily readable... This time around anyway.
“Hm?” Rody glanced over at Deku, his worries about Pino expressing his emotions being brushed to the side. “You think so?” He brought the outfit away from the pink bird to check the price tag. “Hm... Not too bad. I guess she does deserve something.” He grinned as he gave the bird a pat and rub to the head.
Once that was done, Pino hopped onto Rody's shoulder, his focus back on his friend. "I can go pay for this and then we can head to the next place, that sound good?"
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!”

FIRST INTERACTIONS STARTER SENTENCES
First impressions can be tough to get through. That's okay. To get started , here are some general sentences to get things going
❛ i'm sorry , i didn't mean to bump into you . ❜
❛ hey , are you lost ? ❜
❛ sorry , people here don't really like new faces . ❜
❛ have i seen you before ? ❜
❛ where are you from ? ❜
❛ oh my god ! you scared the shit out of me ! ❜
❛ you should be careful. this area is pretty shady. ❜
❛ hello ? i think i'm lost. ❜
❛ can you take this picture for me ? ❜
❛ excuse me , i think you dropped this. ❜
❛ you shouldn't be here. ❜
❛ can i borrow your phone ? ❜
❛ holy shit ! are you okay ? ❜
❛ may i sit here ? ❜
❛ i think they got our orders mixed up. ❜
❛ hi , i'm looking for a _____ . is that you ? ❜
❛ sorry , i'm new here. ❜
❛ i'm so sorry ! let me clean that up for you. ❜
❛ hey it's you ; _____ ! ❜
❛ you should watch where you're going. ❜
❛ can you hold this for me ? ❜
He wasn’t expecting such a quick response. It felt nice that someone wanted to genuinely see him.
“Woah woah, flying me AND Roro and Lala would be way too much to ask from you. The idea sounds nice, of course, but that’s three tickets to pay for compared to just one for you.” Rody would have loved for his siblings to see Japan, and to meet Deku’s mom, but that was definitely too much.
@rody-soul
“Rody...”
“Don't you want to come see me?”
us-smash:
Izuku couldn’t even give a proper response now, his hands coming up to hide his facial features from view with a muffled noise escaping him that was the equivalent of a scream.
“Aw, now you’re hiding your cute face from me; your boyfriend.” How far was he going to push this? Oh, there was no end in sight. It was too fun to tease and Izuku was too cute when he got all red.
I MISSED TW O
Don’t look at me
I’ve done important work today okay
Team Up Mission 16, Rody Soul and Pino!!
rody, ever get jealous when deku's friends get a bit too touchy feely? uraraka seems to be eyeing him up from time to time
"No, not really." His eyes narrowed at the anon. "Don't really appreciate Uraraka being signaled out like that. She's one of Deku's best friends; she means well."
vsagis:
Izuku’s face seems to beam once his offer is accepted, but who wouldn’t be happy about something like this? It’s the world’s safety nearly ensured now!
Or something like that.
“It’s pure pleasure working with you,” he jokes, body relaxing a little as he speaks. He’s not sure whether it’s a sign of genuine relief, or another element of the part he found himself playing to get here; but either way, it shouldn’t speak ill of him. If anything, it would only help. “I’ll be here when you shift ends, then,” he reassures and grabs the other’s hand. “Just tell me when.”
Who would have thought it could be this easy! One half of him is still worried the guy might be playing him here, especially with him saying yes so quickly, but… he wouldn’t be the only person led astray by the mere mention of money. Plenty of such types around the world.
“So, wanna give me your name now, since we’re temporarily partners?”
Of course the other would look so happy after Rody gave in to the deal. At least they were both getting something out of this. “Yeah yeah, sure it is.” There’s a small chuckle. “Will do. I hope you eat those fries while you wait.” They were probably cooled down completely by now; a shame really.
"Rody." Just the first name was fine. His partner certainly didn't need to know his last name. "And what do I have the pleasure of calling you?"
...
Well, he got the first half as promised. He'd never been more on edge heading home that night with that much money on him. It would have been the worst night to be robbed. Fortunately, it was a quiet walk home and he was back at his trailer in no time with dinner and his siblings waiting for him. Rody made sure to put the money away securely.
The next day, he spent hours at the library before his work shift, going through information on the chip he had. Of course this sort of information couldn’t be found out so easily. Why would it be if they wanted to keep it hidden?
Fast forward to after his shift, the brunette was now standing with the green-haired fellow in the alley next to the bar. Rody held out a folded up piece of paper towards his temporary partner. It was a print out of the layout of the Humarise main base, with the presumed lab circled on the diagram with a question mark next to it, and the location of the base written at the top of the paper.
“This is all the info I could get for you. Unfortunately, most of the scientists that worked on the bombs are either deceased or missing.” Well, one was in a coma. He waited for the other to grab the paper before continuing. “The base is far north of here. Maybe a five hour or so drive... Around a two hour flight if you have access to that sort of transportation.” If Freckles had access to an open account, who knew what else he had access to.
Eh, I'll figure this out later. Rody Soul RP Blog !!WHM spoilers!!
