Somebody really wanted me to write this. So I guess welcome back! But don't expect much I'm rusty as a Tetanus center.

"We actually meet a cute little boy while waiting!"
Natsuo happily said to the twin brothers while sitting in the backseats during the ride home.
"Yeah, he was so cute! He had green hair and he was wearing an All Might costume!" Fuyumi chipped in, sitting in the front seat.
'For some reason, that sounds familiar to me...'
Akiko had a thoughtful look on his face but he still couldn't exactly pinpoint what was bothering him.
"Really, an All Might costume?! Can I have one too?!" Shoto asked, with visible stars shining in his eyes.
"I guess... But I don't think father would allow it."
Fuyumi said but Shoto could only hear just the first half of the sentence. Because towards the second half, Fuyumi got quieter and quieter so only Akiho who was sitting directly behind her could hear the last part.
"We have arrived!"
Before the discussion could continue, their mother Rei who for some reason driving, instead of a driver, told.
The old gate of the family mansion slowly opened and a black expensive-looking car drove through it. The car finally parked on a square full with other expensive-looking cars.
After the car stopped the Todoroki family slowly got out of the car.
Looking around even though Akiho hated his shitty father, he still had to recognize his father's taste in supercars. Not to mention this was just a small part of his collection.
"Let's go in and continue your birthday celebration!"
Rei said and started walking towards the ancient Japanese mention. She didn't have to say it twice because Akiho, Shoto, Fuyumi, and Natsuo happily followed her. With the illusionary image of a big birthday cake floating in the air as a motivation.
Going through the beautiful Chania gardens they quickly arrived at the entrance of the mansion.
"The head chef prepared your favorite foods, I can't wait-..."
While opening the door, Rei suddenly stopped talking and froze in place.
"Mother?"
Akiho who almost walked into his mother asked with concern. Noticing the strange behavior he peeked into the entrance beside his mother.
His face churned and turned into a visible frown.
He quickly turned back and mentioned his siblings which they immediately understood and their faces churned as well.
"Mother!"
Akiho whispered to his mother and gently poked her. Waking up from her frozen state Rei looked back at her children. Noticing their encouraging looks she weakly smiled and looked forward with determination.
They slowly moved into the big lobby and the four siblings stood in a row like soldiers, besides their mother.
"Welcome back husband."
Rei said with no emotion in her voice, her face was cold like the antarctic.
"Welcome back Otto-san!"
The four siblings stood upright and said at the same time as they practiced before.
"Good...!"
A gruff voice sounded and from the shadows, Endeavor appeared. He didn't even take off his hero costume in front of his family.
He ignored his wife and older children and coldly looked at Akiho and then Shoto for a long time.
'You fucker!'
Akiho could feel Shoto slightly trembling beside him, after receiving his father's gaze. But while boiling inside he could only endure and show an emotionless, cold face.
"So what kind of quirk did you awaken?"
Finally, after an unbearable amount of silence, the number two hero asked.
"Akiho aw-"
Rei tried to help her sons but before she could finish her sentence, Endeavor suddenly snapped his face towards her and looked deeply into her eyes.
"I didn't ask you, woman!"
He slightly raised his voice and said full of venom. Rei trembled and quickly bowed her head down, afraid of making eye contact with her tormentor.
'I fucking kill you!'
Akiho clenched his fist so hard in anger that his knuckles became white.
"So what is your quirk?"
Endeavor turned towards Akiho again and asked with a small sadistic grin. Probably enjoying that this time he was the tormentor, not the tormented.
'Okay, deep breath, it's not the time to fight first I have to get stronger!'
Akiho took a few deep breaths and tried to ignore the side of his brain which wanted lung at his father right now and rip him into small pieces.
"It's emitter type of capable of producing flames."
Akiho said after calming down a little. Trying to downplay his strength as much as possible.
"Haa, disappointment."
Endeavor snorted and said but his face was just as cold as before. Akiho clenched his teeth and promised to give it back three times just like Mattie the Goose-boy.
[A/n: Props to anyone who knows this folk tale!]
Ignoring the new disappointment, Endeavor turned toward his last son and last hope with some expectation hidden in his eyes.
"Just like Onii-chan, I can also produce flames... but I can make ice as well..."
Although Shoto mentally grew quicker than others he was still just four years old. So he trembled after feeling the piercing gaze of the father and said with a meek voice.
"Hahaha!"
Shoto flinched when his father started maniacally laugh and walked towards him.
He could only endure as his father stood in front of him and put his hand on his shoulder.
"Good, good finally not just another failure!"
Endeavor suddenly stopped laughing and said with a happy smile on his face. Not caring about how much pain his words caused to his other children.
Akiho from the corner of his eyes noticed that for the first time, his mother's cold mask broke, and her face was filled with undisguised hate and rage!
Endeavor put his other hand on Shoto's other shoulder and looked into his hate and fear-filled eyes.
"I'm going to train you to be number one! Stronger than All Might! No! Stronger than anybody!"
He started to mumble about his delusions scaring the already afraid Shoto more and more. His legs were visibly trembling.
The temperature in the room started to drop as Rei's face became darker and darker.
"There is no time to waste with failures, it's time for me to train you!"
Seemingly not noticing the temperature difference in the room. Endeavor suddenly grabbed Shoto's arm and started to drag him away.
'Fuck this shit, I'm not standing away anymore!'
Akiho couldn't bear the torment of his twin brother anymore! And decided that even if he gets beaten he won't let his father violate his brother!
"You can't do this to my children! I was foolish enough to let you do this with Toya but I won't make the same mistake!"
Before Akiho could do anything his mother Rei snapped and shouted at Endeavor. She walked to Shoto and tried to release Endeavor's hold on his arm.
Endeavor first was shocked by the defiant action of his wife but then...
Everything slowed down, Akiho watched in slow motion as his father raised his hand, then how his hand closer to his mother's face.
He will forever remember the fear and surprise on his mother's face. His father's evil grin will always appear in his nightmares, it will be the fuel driving him forward and forward.
He couldn't bear it, he had to close his eyes.
*Slap*
The sound was sudden, like the thunder in the clear sky, painful, like the screech of a chalk on the board, and scary, just like the death sentence.
"Huff-huff"
Akiho's breathing quickened as he slowly opened his eyes. The earth spun as he focused on his mother his ears started to ring, he couldn't move.
She was half lying on the floor, her face was blank, empty, devoid of any emotion. The blood drained from her face as it became whiter and whiter like the full moon.
However, one thing didn't lose its vibrant colors, a fiery red handprint remained. It remained to warn everybody that, injuries are not only physical.
[A/n: Khm, I was sitting on the toilet while writing this, so please don't judge it... Sorry for the interruption!]
"Mother!"
Waking up from the stupor Akiho shouted and run to his mother while he started to tear up.
"Oka-san!"
Another two startled shouts could be heard after his when Fuyumi and Natsuo woke up from their stupor and run to their mother's side as well.
"Hmph, know your place bitch! Your job is to breed not to bark!"
Ignoring his crying children surrounding his wife, Endeavor said coldly. He turned and while dragging the poor Shoto with himself he walked out of the room.
'I am so useless.'
Akiho could only helplessly watch as his brother who was in a similar state as his mother was being dragged away.
*Bamm*
After the door closed only the low voice of the child sobbing remained.
"It's okay, don't cry, here look mother is okay."
It took Rei more than three minutes from the daydream and now she was trying to calm the still-crying Fuyumi.
After all three or rather all four of them were calm enough, they slowly gather themselves and went to eat, not wanting to think about what just happened.

So here it is! I think I made it a little to emotional but whatever I hoped you liked it!
