Izuku was done.
He'd been diagnosed as quirkless, he's being pulled into school fights every day, and Bakugou hits the breaking point.
Deku runs away from home after Bakugou tells him to jump off the roof...
But after a full year of being in the cir...
Izuku began spacing out as he looked through notes in his journal. He had taken notes on the quirks his fellow circus mates had. Even though a good majority of the circus population was quirkless, there were a good amount of mutant-type quirks as well.
The page he stopped on was notes about Haruto Akami, a close friend of Izuku's. Haruto was a flying act, similar to Izuku. Heck, sometimes the two boys would work together.
He would dive from one of the highest points of the tent, then spread his wings before hitting the ground. He would swoop up, fly over the crowd a few times, then fly to the center of the tent and set his wings aflame as he soared over the crowds again.
Haruto's quirk made him have wings for arms, which he could light on fire at will. His quirk was called 'Phoenix'.

(pls don't mind my art style. Also his skin isn't pasty white, I just don't have any skin colors)
Izuku closed the journal a few moments before Mr. Aizawa called for the attention of his class, making the greenette look up. He explained that the class would have a visitor to help with the lesson.
"I have…!" Everyone in the classroom sat up in excitement when they heard his voice. "…come through the door like a normal person!"
'Posing while coming through the door isn't normal!' The entire class thought.
Izuku glanced at All Might as he kind of skipped through the door instead of, you know, walking through like any other person in the world would.
As everyone started whispering about how 'different he looks up close', which is a fact he himself admitted, Izuku began to think back to his circus days... ------------------------------------------------------------ Izuku let go of the bar that connected him to the trapeze, allowing himself to soar through the air as if he were flying. Until he actually was.
Izuku gripped onto Haruto the moment he landed on the winged one's back, only to sit up after a few seconds. The crowd began to cheer and whistle as the sound of applause filled the tent. Haruto circled the inside of the tent, flying over crowds as they continued to applaud.
Izuku smiled as he felt the rush of excitement as Haruto swooped up and then down again. Haruto looked back and smiled, telling the greenette he was having fun as well. ------------------------------------------------------------ "Hero basic training!" All Might yelled, pulling Izuku away from the memory. "The class that’ll put you through all sorts of special training to mold you into heroes! No time to dally! Today’s activity is this: Battle training!"
"Battle?!"
"…training?"
"And for that you’ll need these!" All Might exclaimed as he pressed a button. The wall next to the desks pushed out and revealed cases with numbers on it. "In accordance with the 'quirk registry' and special request forms you filled out before being admitted you get-"
"Costumes!"
Everyone was practically vibrating in their seats as All Might told them to go get changed and meet him on one of the testing grounds. As his classmates mingled with each other and grabbed cases, Izuku wondered what type of battle training they’re going to do. Maybe they were going to battle each other or something.
"Deku!" Katsuki grabbed him by the back of the uniform and lifted him up from out of his chair so that he was on his tip toes. He honestly looked like a cat being held up by the scruff of his neck while being yelled at by his owner. Izuku turned his attention towards Katsuki to see that he was holding both of their cases under his arm. "Hurry up, stupid Deku! We’re training!"
"Ah." Izuku squeaked when he was dropped back into his chair. "Sorry Kacchan!" ------------------------------------------------------------ Izuku walked over to a locker in the locker room and opened up his case. He changed into his costume, which consisted of a pair of forest green trousers that ended at the ankles, but were loose enough that they would move up to his knees if he did a handstand.
He also put on a pair of red tights that went under the trousers and exposed his toes and heels. It increased mobility. And finally, he put on two pieces of green cloth on the bicep of each arm and one around his neck. These were just for accessory.

"Whoa."
Izuku perked his head up at the voice and turned around, discovering the voice belonged to a blonde boy with a black streak that looked like a lightning bolt. What was his name again? Kaminari? Why was he staring at Izuku's side?
Izuku looked to the area where the electric boy was staring and realized why, to which he let out a sigh of slight frustration.
Izuku had a noticable scar on the left side of his body, near his stomach. It was pinkish, rough-looking, the size of All Might's fist, and covered a good amount of skin.
"How'd you get that?" Kaminari asked, still staring at the scar. Izuku wasn't particulary uncomfortable with the question, he just didn't wanna answer it. At all.
"Oi, Deku!"
The similar voice of a hot-headed ash blonde caught Izuku's attention as the said hot-headed ash blonde began to walk towards the greenette.
"You comin' or what?" Katsuki asked the greenette, who nodded in reply. The two began walking out of the locker rooms, leaving a wild, complaining Kaminari behind.
As Izuku and Katsuki walked the halls, Katsuki asked how Izuku got his scar. Izuku was still a bit uncomfortable, so Katsuki let it go.
"But just know this," Katsuki told him as they approached the entrance to the grounds. "When you are ready to talk about it, I'm right here, ready to listen."
The greenette looked up at his new friend and smiled. "Thanks, Kacchan." ------------------------------------------------------------ (A\N): Yeesh, it's been a while huh? Sorry this took so long. I've been dealing with personal stuff and I've had very little time to write. But don't worry! I should be able to get back into my normal routine again soon
