Cringy angst
His wings were getting bigger.
They used to touch the floor when he had them extended, but now they almost reach his ankles when they're folded.
Sometimes he forgets to fold them and knocks a vase down or hit a painting.
He tried to keep his wings away from Poppa's shrine.
Hes scared that he might knock over the erns and make a mess.
So he pays his respects to Poppa on his bed while holding his necklace between his hands.

8th grade was hard for Izuku.
He got teased a lot and he didn't know why.
Maybe because of his feathers?
He hoped not. He really likes them

During lunch one day a while ago, a kid came up to Izuku and pulled his necklace off. He snapped the small rope in half that kept it on his neck.
"What's this thing, Birdie?" Izuku couldn't bother to remember his name. "A little gift from mommy? What's inside?"
"Please don't open it," Izuku jumped up. His wings expanded and shot out to the sides. Some students had to duck and scatter away. "It's very personal and it'll be extream-"
Then...
.
The boy threw the necklace on the floor, shattering the white glass into pieces.
Most students look at the boy in disgust.
"How could someone do that..."
"Are those ashes?"
"What in the-?"
"Izu-chan!"
He turned around to find Toko-nii and Kacchan looking at the boy.
Izuku gave in and fell to his knees. His heart poured out in front of his peers.
The boy just stood there in a shocked silence. He slowly got down and brushed the ashes into a small pile.
When the ashes were in a neat pile, the boy clapped his hands together and whispered a few words.
He got up and walked away. But before he was fully gone, he said something to Izuku.
"Maybe you shouldn't run around with a dead person hanging around your throat." He glared at Izuku, who was still on his knees. "Might get you in a bit more trouble some day."
The boy walked away, stomping his way down the halls.
"Izu- chan," Toko-nii placed a hand on Izukus shoulder. "Are you okay? Do you want me to buy you a new necklace?"
"No, no-" Izuku wiped his tears and continued. "I'll get a new one myself. Thanks though, Toko-nii."
Izuku started to put the ashes in a small container he had in his bag. It was very worn and it had very faint writing on the top and sides.
He hugged the container to his chest and walked to the bathroom.

.
Izuku went home early that day.
Toko-nii wanted to report the boy. Kacchan wanted to beat him into next week.
Izuku didn't want to cause even more trouble, so he just avoided everyone until his mom picked him up.
"Hey, hun," Momma unlocked the car door. "Mind telling me why you wanted me to call you?"
Izuku simply put the container on the dashboard and looked out the window.
"I see..." She rubbed the top of the container lid. "I'll get you a new one."
"Thanks..." Izuku mumbled before closing his eyes, letting the slight rocks of the car out him to sleep.
