Gray Met Green, And That Contact Was Held As Deku Spoke. Rody Was As Red As Ever. Did.. Did Deku Just

“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?

*very slowly hides Pino out of sight*

        “Uwa–whatcha got there?”

"Oi, Noodle Hair--" Katsuki approached the other teen with an expression that seemed like a mix of irritation and weariness. His heated red eyes narrowed at Noodle Hair as he asked a question that had been on his mind for a long time. "--What are your feelings towards Deku?"

He stopped where he was, slowly turning around.

"Noodle hair..?" Oh, it was that explosive blonde friend of Deku's. They never had a moment alone together so this approach was definitely strange. The expression on his face was concerning though; what could have Rody done to cause that?

...

"Pardon?"

ooc - Apologies for the silence here recently! It’s the last two weeks of the semester, so a lot of work is being done on my end!

Rody can go off all he wants about how lame he thinks he is or how he thinks he's undeserving of being saved but that will never change the fact that him still deciding to carry Pino when he's bleeding or this

Is nothing less than an extraordinary act of self love

There was a grin on Rody’s face seeing the other’s excitement. He and Pino both knew how cute she was by now. She could probably use that cuteness to both of their advantages if it was needed.

“Deku said that?” Of course he did. “Well, I guess it is true. She’s a sweetheart who likes to get into trouble sometimes.” Rody was used to that type of question from residents in Otheon, but hearing it from Momo meant Deku never told his friends about his quirk. That was nice of him.

“I think I was around four when I got her. So practically my whole life this bundle of feathers has been by my side.”

Katsuki’s stance relaxed further when Noodle Hair confirmed that the kid was okay. One less thing to worry about…

Honestly, he barely remembered shit from his stay in that hospital. He was too  busy bitching about the pain he felt from his injuries to pay much attention to anything else. He glanced between the two siblings and gave a nod. “I kinda figured it out by the hair,” he bluntly admitted. 

He would have said something else but was quickly interrupted by Burnin’ and a police car arriving on the scene. 

“Bakugou!” The hero was wrapping capture tape around the villain and helping the police lift the man up. She grinned over at him. “Nice job!” 

“Yeah, yeah!” He huffed. Though, even with his nonchalant reaction, there was a hint of a smirk on his lips. 

“You can go back to the Agency if you want!” she added before helping to haul off the robber. 

Katsuki just shrugged. Not like his shift was likely gonna get much more exiting than that. “Alright.” 

With that taken care of, he refocused his attention back on Rody. He raised an eyebrow. “So why the hell are you here?” The question was still burning in the back of his head. “Deku didn’t tell me shit about you visiting.” 

The hair? Ah, the noodle hair. Of course. How could he forget?

Rody stepped back with his siblings when the pro and police arrived. While Bakugou interacted with them, Rody continued to comfort Roro and Lala, giving them comforting head rubs and words of reassurance. It also allowed him a moment to properly breathe.

He almost wanted to tell the other off for swearing in front of the kids, but he would let it slide this time.

"Oh, Deku doesn’t know I’m here, actually.” There was a sheepish rub to the back of his head, messing up his ponytail a bit as his other arm adjusted its hold around Roro. “It’s kind of a surprise? We wanted to spend a day or two by ourselves to explore the city before meeting up with Deku.” Knowing how he was, if Deku knew he and his siblings were coming, he would have wanted to pitch in and help- but Rody wanted to do this on his own. Additionally, Deku was probably busy with school, or even with patrols like Bakugou was. Rody didn’t want to overwhelm the hero by showing up in the middle of the week. He could wait till the weekend.

Oh.

“Don’t tell him that. Or that you saw me-” Unless the three of them went to see him today instead. Which wasn’t always a bad idea, it just wasn’t the original plan.

His hands gripped Deku’s shirt with such desperation. He didn’t want him to be sad; he didn’t want him to be sorry. Rody hated to see him in such a state. He wished he could take all the weight off of his shoulders.

“Sh.. Sh..” Rody started rubbing and patting Deku’s back, trying to give him as much comfort as he could. He could only imagine what his partner had been through. Though, it was obvious it had been a lot; far too much for a teenager to handle. He was still a kid.

“It’s okay now... You’re in here. Not out there. You can let it all out. I’m here for you.” His words sounded choked. He was full on crying now and was doing his best to not sound like he was. Rody wanted to be the support that Deku needed.

“...I would carry you up to your room if I could.” He started, trying to lighten the mood even a little bit.  A gentle hand ran up through green hair. “But I’m not as big and strong as my boyfriend, nor do I know where the room is but... a cuddle session is in high demand right now.”

Izuku was tired. Exhausted, honestly. Physically, emotionally, and any other type of exhausted that existed. After Uraraka managed to convince the civilians to let him rest at U.A., the last of his adrenaline drained from him. He could barely stand, so it was no surprise when his male classmates lifted him into the air and carried him off to the bath. 

Though, as he was being carted off, he managed to glance around at the familiar surroundings of the common area. Though he’d been away for nearly two months, it felt more like an entire year instead. 

Out of the corner of his eye, he spotted an oddly familiar pink bird flying across the living room. There was no way, right...? 

There was no way he was here...! 

He was just hallucinating from exhaustion. That had to be it! Still, Izuku could feel his heart ache as he was pulled into the bathroom.
