Of course he wasn't busy! Even if he had been... he would've made the time. It was a special occasion to have time with Deku.
Pino gave a small chirp in response to Deku's subtle greeting as 'my treat' processed in Rody's mind. The brunette might have been short on money but- "I can pitch in a bit..!" He wasn't sure how much this sort of thing cost, but if it was a good amount then he didn't want Deku to pay for it all.
He clicked his tongue with a smirk. "So, I have permission to laugh a little bit. Heh, I promise though, as long as you do the same." The only time he would ever sing was for his siblings. They thought he was good at least. But they are, ya know, kids.

"Maybe because you are one-" Rody mumbled real quietly, holding back a laugh. All tease, of course.
“Wha-?! Rody!” Izuku gasped, fake-offended. Unfortunately, his voice cracked over Rody’s name.
Rody chuckled as his freckled friend hid himself. He definitely wouldn't ever let it go. It would be such good teasing material!
"Hm?" He stared blankly at the other.
"Wait, you want to go right now?" Rody leaned over his friend's shoulder, looking at the phone. Pino peeked out of his ponytail too. Seemed like they were both interested. "I mean, sure, yeah. I'm up for it." He thought that Deku might have wanted to go with a whole group of friends, but that did mean more witnesses if something embarrassing did happen.

“No worries, hero.” He didn’t mind the comparisons. Once again, it was part of Izuku’s charm.
Now Deku was just flattering him. “Karaoke? That does sound fun.” Oh, now he definitely needed to hear Deku sing. “Let’s hope that no voice cracks happen while we sing then.”

Oh, he didn't expect Deku to agree.
Or to start analyzing his voice.
"Comparing my voice to your hero friends, eh? Though your deductions surprisingly make sense, my voice is my own; smooth and playful. Just like me."

At least he got a laugh back. Now they were even.
“Sorry, hero, but I’ve already got one.” He playfully nudged the shorter of the two, sending a wink his way. “Might wanna hurry and catch up.”

Deku shifted the conversation to focus on Rody that fast, huh?
“No.” A pause for dramatic effect. “I guess there was this one time during one of the jobs I took on. I needed to yell out a code word and... well, you can imagine my embarrassment when it cracked while being surrounded by a bunch of criminals that could beat my ass.”

That got him. Oh, the irony.
“Ha! Oh, man! Your vocal chords really betrayed you there!” He gave Deku a firm pat on the back as he caught his breath. “Ah, it happens to the best of us. Just think of it as part of your charm.”
