Runaway Pretty Boy (A Cottagecore Katsuki Story)

Chapter 1

(Katsuki is in UA for this.)

A clock sits on the wall reading 2:13. 

Shadows are cast onto the furniture that lay bare of life. 

My light shuffling of moving clothes and other items around could faintly be heard but I knew that no one would be alerted. Everyone in the house was deep asleep already besides me. 

I sat on my knees in front of my closet with two bags in front of me quickly being filled with clothes. Clothes that I actually enjoyed wearing. Ones that I had to buy with saved up money so that my parents wouldn't question why I was buying them.

Over 16 years I've had to keep them deep in my closet so that I wouldn't be seen as weak, but I was finally sick of it. 

I was going to finally leave and make a life for myself, one that I actually wanted to live.

Not just some pre-determined life where I was a super powerful hero that got all the fame and glory. 

People were always painting me as strong, and explosive, and loud. I hated being the loud one that was always seen as aggressive and uncaring. 

I just wanted a simple and quite life so that's what I was going to do. 

I had finally finished packing. Two bags now filled to the top with clothing. Now just had to get some other things packed. 

Over the years I have been planning my runaway and prepared. I bought light and sturdy bags and sold things I knew I couldn't bring or that were to heavy to take. At first I was questioned by my parents on why my room was so bare but I made up the excuse that with moving into the dorms I just wanted to take a lot of stuff. 

I grab the third bag and put things like my phone and charger, toiletries, and a couple books and other items I just couldn't part with. 

Once done I had only one thing to do. Start writing goodbyes. 

At first I was just going to make a letter for the hag and old man but realized that the Bakusquad and everyone else would probably be pretty disappointed if I just left without even a small explanation.  As much as I acted like I didn't care about them I really did. I hated being so rude to them all but I just couldn't be who I wanted to be around anyone. 

I grab some paper and a pen. It didn't take long to write out what I wanted to for my parents but once I got to the letter for the squad and school, I was stumped. Would they want to hear the real me and an apology for everything I've said or would just a simple goodbye do?

I decided to go with the real me. I apologized for the names and insults. I apologized for the massive ego I gave myself and just everything in general. With how many times I say sorry in this letter they're probably not even going to believe its me. 

As I wrote I came to the conclusion that I should write a letter specially for Izuku. I never wanted to give him the nickname Deku. I never once thought that he was useless or weak. I was honestly proud of how far he came. I never even doubted him becoming a hero, even before he got his quirk from All Might. 

I knew exactly what to write to him. An apology and explanation for everything that happened in middle school and even while at UA. 

With that I left the letter for my parents on my desk and tossed my bags out the window. Me fallowing with them shortly after. Since it was Friday, although I'd say it still felt like Thursday since its now 3 in the morning, I decided to go to school for the last day before the weekend. (No idea if that made any sense.) 

Getting out of UA was easy. Getting back in was a little tougher. See, while sneaking out you can easily climb one of the many trees near the edge of the wall and then hop on over. A problem with sneaking back in was that there really is no trees to climb. Meaning, I would have to use my quirk. 

One nice thing about hero training is that it taught me how to use my explosions in a stealthy way. Using small but fast bursts creates less sound and light, making it an easy sneak attack.

Once I was back over the gate along with my bags I quickly make it to the dorms. No one would be awake now so it was easy to get to my room. 

My dorm room was even more bland then at home. All I had was a bed, a desk, and a lamp. That's why I never let anyone in before. I didn't want them asking a bunch of questions about it being so plain. Especially since I hate lying so much. 

I let out a sigh. It had been a long night. I plop my bags down by the balcony door and pull out the letters placing them down on the desk. 

I change out of the shorts I was wearing to sweats and pull my hoodie off to replace it with a tank top. Finally, after everything I've done tonight, I get to sleep. Sure it might be 4 in the morning and I wont be able to get that much sleep, it was still refreshing to lay down and relax for a bit. 

With that I pass out knowing that the tomorrow was going to be even longer. 

First chapter done!! I can't wait to write more!! I am legit so excited!!! Anyway, I'll be writing more tonight and maybe even more after that lol. Hope all you wonderful peeps have a great morning/afternoon/night wherever you are!! Bye!
