1 [reunited]

Rody stared out the window of the plane anxiously, his fingers intertwined with the fabric of his trench coat as Pino trilled lowly. The plane was approaching Japan..

He'd been practicing Japanese ever since Deku left back to Japan, wanting to understand everything the hero said; he wanted no possible barrier between them. Although it was a bit embarrassing to admit to the flight commander, it worked out in the end, seeing as he's now on a plane to Japan.

Let me explain.. he applied for piloting school with the help of credit he gained from saving the world. He aced the exam and in a few weeks, he was a top student.

It was already the second semester and the bilingual students had the opportunity to fly to a country that spoke that language to gain more experience. Rody, at first, wasn't listed on the program. He heard about it in passing and practically blazed toward the front office, talking to the Principal and getting put on the list.

She went through a list of questions ranging from 'What language aside from English do you speak?' to 'What made you want to learn this language?'

On the last question, Rody had averted his eyes and casually answered the question, but Pino had once again given away his emotions. The Principal asked again, and Rody begrudgingly told her the truth.

"There's.. well, my friend, the hero Deku, and he spoke English flawlessly, I didn't even know that he wasn't native in it until his friends, who only spoke Japanese, showed up. He spoke both so flawlessly but... I wanted to know everything about him— what he's saying, I mean!" Rody sputtered the last part quickly, a sheepish look on his face as the Principal chortled at him before continuing the questions.

And now he's here, exiting the plane and walking toward the pick-up area. Well, he was pretty sure that's what the sign said. He squinted his eyes and caught sight of the small English translation at the bottom. Nope, those are the restrooms..

He turned away from those and tried his best to remember the Japanese alphabet and all the lessons he took...

'荷物の受け取り... luggage pick-up.. come on!' He furrowed his eyebrows and perked up when he finally saw it. He snagged his suitcase and rolled it on the floor, walking toward the exit.

'Alright.. I'll go to the dorms for my school then maybe get something to eat.. yeah!' He smiled at his thoughts and called for a taxi. Once one pulled over on the side of the road, he hefted up his luggage, putting it inside the car.

"こんにちは！パイロットのレンタカーホテルに向かっています!" (Hello sir! I'm heading toward the Pilot rented hotels!) The taxi driver nodded, gesturing for him to come inside. Once Rody was inside and the car was moving, the driver spoke.

"I speak English, I can tell that you are not from here?" Rody sighed breathily before nodding, what made it so obvious?

"Yeah, visiting for a semester," He responded, moving Pino off his shoulder and into his hands. The driver stopped at a red light and looked back at Rody and Pino.

"Hey.. would you mind if I tried something?" He asked, sounding unsure of how to pose the question. Rody raised an eyebrow and slowly tilted his head.

"I mean.. it kind of depends? What are you gonna do?" The driver glanced back at the road for a second, the light was still red as cars blazed by.

"Oh, I'm just going to erase your quirk. Regular animals aren't allowed in taxis, so if I erase your quirk, would the bird disappear?" English was obviously not this man's first language. But Rody nodded because yes, Pino was his quirk. Kinda odd how the driver knew that immediately, though.

The driver nodded then his eyes began to glow red, his black hair lifting off his shoulders. Pino disappeared with a 'poof!' And Rody was left staring at his hands. Wow.

The light turned green and the driver turned around, nodding. Pino soon reappeared, looking dazed as he drunkenly twirled around in Rody's hands.

The rest of the drive was silent, and once Rody got dropped off and handed over the yen, the driver gave him a once over before an odd grin came onto his face.

"See you later, kid." Before he sped off. Rody blinked once, then twice before slowly turning around and entering the hotel. He went up to the receptionist, got the key to his room, then placed his bags down. He glanced out the window before stepping back to look again. There was a café, not too far from the hotel, and it also didn't look too crowded. Pino flapped her wings while cooing with interest.

"Food! First step!" Rody said as he swung open the door to his hotel room and closed it behind him. He walked down the hallways excitedly before stopping and scurrying back to the room to grab his wallet.

He started down the street, looking at all the buildings with what seemed to be mild interest. But Pino was chirping loudly, stars practically in her eyes.

Once he entered the café, his eyes zoned to a table occupied with two teenagers. They had uniquely colored hair, purple and green like Joker's colors— 'Oh that's Deku.'

He stared at the table for a bit longer than he would like to admit. The purple one glanced at him before telling something to Deku who turned and froze when he saw him.

"Rody!?" He stood up from the booth he was sitting at, frozen as well as they locked eyes. Rody's face twitched before a smile appeared on his face.

"ヒーロー！ここであなたに会うとは思わなかった!" (Hero! Didn't think I'd see you here!) Midoriya was taken aback by the fact that Rody spoke Japanese, his face flushed an unusual red, and his lip twitched before he spoke.

"日本語知ってるの！？いつから！?" (You know Japanese!? Since when!?) Rody chuckled and gave Deku a wide smile.

"私はあなたのためだけに学びました、ヒーロー," (I learned just for you, Hero) Midoriya flushed further at the words, the purple haired boy from before coughed loudly, standing up with his coffee cup by Midoriya.

"それで、私を彼に紹介するつもりですか、ミドリヤ?" (So, are you going to introduce me to him or not, Midoriya?) He straightened up and gave Shinsou a sheepish smile.

"そうだね！ロディ、こちらはシンソヒトシです！シンソ、ロディ・ソウルです !" (Right! Rody, this is Shinso Hitoshi! Shinso, this is Rody Soul!) Shinso looked Rody over before looking at Midoriya and whispering into his ear. Midoriya looked at Rody for a moment before replying. The latter stood there stiffly, confused.

Shinso held out his hand, "初めまして、と思います。" (Nice to meet you, I guess.) Rody grinned and took Shinso's hand, shaking it.

"同様に、シンソ!" (Likewise, Shinso!) Midoriya looked between the two of them before smiling giddily. Shinso glanced at him before looking at Rody with a teasing grin.

"ミドリヤはあなたの恋人ですか、ロディ・ソウル?" Midoriya lit up like a flame, his hair sticking up as he gapped at Shinso before beginning to flail his arms.

"シンソ！なぜあなたは—なぜ私たちは—" Midoriya was cut off by Rody looking into Shinso's eyes before nodding and speaking.

"はい、なぜですか？それは明らかではありませんか?" (Yes, why, isn't it obvious?) Midoriya practically fainted on his feet , his face unbelievably red as goosebumps ran up his arms at the thought. Shinso's eyes widened before he grinned comically.

"ああ、ここにいる友達が恋をしていることを知ってとてもうれしいです。" Shinso said teasingly. Midoriya whined in embarrassment before gripping Rody's hand.

"さあ、ロディ！ここから出よう!" (Come on, Rody! Let's get out of here!) Shinso cackled at the two as Midoriya dragged Rody out of the café, the hero still beet red from his friend's words.

"何？私は何か間違ったことを言いましたか?" (What? Did I say something wrong?) Rody asked, confused.
