Unexpected love

Chapter 2: safety

Rody hummed as he found some greenery to cover the van, he stepped back and admired the work. It'll pass easily as a white boulder. He turns back to Deku, who had returned with a bunch of logs for firewood. "I'm still amazed by your quirk. Like, how does that work? You got superhuman strength or something?" He leaned on the cave wall, watching as Deku arranged the wood in orderly fashion. "Not really... I mean... it's..kinda hard to explain really..." he looked down. "If only todoroki was here... I don't remember how to light a campfire." Rody rolled his eyes. "Watch this." He pulled a lighter from the vans back and lit it under the wood. "Found some pretty useful stuff in there. Figured we could use it." Deku smiled. "Thanks rody. Is there any food back there too?" Rody shook his head. "If an old outdated bag of potatoes counts as food then no." Deku sighed. "We'll go on foot later on and try to find a small town with a store." He sat against the cave wall, shivering. "Despite the fire your cold? That's kinda weird." Rody remarked, taking his old jacket and giving it to Deku to wear. Deku blushed, nuzzling into it."I can see why you love this coat..." he hums with a smile. Rody looked away, trying to hide his flustered expression. "PI! Pi!" Pino chirped, jumping onto dekus arm and bouncing in circles, squealing as she did so. Rody grabbed her and chuckled nervously. "She's just..hyper.. that's all..." Deku tilted his head. "She does look a bit hyper.. is there something you can do to calm her down?" The auburn shrugged. "Not really... nothing I know of..." Deku sighed."maybe she'll calm down on her own." Rody would have disagreed. He would love to admit the strange quirk he owned, though he was sure Deku wouldn't approve, being a hero and all. "Hey..umm.. Hero, can I confess something?" Deku looked at him, his green eyes shimmering in the campfire light. Rody swallowed hard. This was gonna be harder than he thought...
