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!
The following birthday party will go down in the life of Akiho as the worst birthday of his.
The two empty seats were a constant reminder of the problems in the family.
Nobody spoke the whole time, not to mention he was completely out of it. She tried to put up a strong front but sometimes she just stared into nothingness.
Worst Akiho caught her touching the left side of her face where still a faint mark remained.
So all in all the whole thing was depressing. In the end with mutual consent, it was decided the birthday cake is not for today.
After the short birthday celebration, everyone went on their way, needing some alone time.
Akiko decided against trying his quirk today, he couldn't bring himself to concentrate for some reason.
In the end, he just went up to his and Shoto's room and started to study. It tied down his attention so he didn't have to think.
<[=]>
"Yawn!"
It already turned dark outside when Akiho yawned and looked from the bug book he was just reading.
"It's already so late!"
After looking at the clock on the wall he stretched his muscles and then stood up, ready to shower and then finally go to bed.
*Click*
But before he could go anywhere the door slid open and a tired, sweaty Shoto came in through it.
Without saying a word Akiho run to him and hugged him tightly.
"Onii-chan..." Shoto weakly said, on the verge of tears.
"It's okay, you are safe now, you can let it out here!"
Akiho gently said while patting the back of his twin brother, encouragingly.
"Hick, I was so scared... Hick, he forced me to run then..."
Like floodgates being broken Shoto started to tear up while talking about the inhuman training of his father.
Akiho could only silently listen while hugging his physically and mentally tired brother.
Shot cried for a good five minutes after which they took a quick shower where Akiho again confirmed the craziness of his father, after noticing the bruises on Shoto's body.
"Good night Sho!"
Akiho said and turned the light beside his bed down after the two of them finally got into the bed, ready to sleep.
"Good night Aki...!" Shoto said as well.
Akiho hid under his blanket and hugged his Blåhaj tightly. But still every time he closed his eyes his father's smirking face appeared in his mind.
"Mhhm, brother...?"
Looking up, Akiho noticed his brother standing beside his bed with his pillow and Djungelskog in hand.
"Yes?"
Akiho asked although he was more or less sure what his brother wanted.
"Nii-chan can we sleep together?!"
Without saying a word Akiho lifted the other side of the blanket. Shoto put down his pillow, laid down, and hugged his Djungelskog tightly.
In no less than five minutes, in the dark room, the only sound that could be heard was two boys' low snoring.
<[=]>
"Yawn!"
The next day, early morning Akiho groggily opened his eyes, sit up, and yawned.
"This is child abuse!"
Noticing the cold bed beside him, he murmured after waking up from half-sleep.
'Pure Shoto he probably had to start training still in dark!'
The mixed feeling of anger and helplessness filled him.
*Paf-paf!*
"I shouldn't let Shoto get ahead of me!"
Waking up from his dark thoughts Akiho slapped his cheeks twice and said full with determination.
He stood up and went to the bathroom where he quickly did his morning routine.
After coming out of the bathroom he stood before a big wardrobe with a mirror on it.
Just as he was about to open its door Akiho suddenly stopped and took a double take of his reflection in the mirror.
"Did I drink an extra strong protein shake, or what?!" Akiho looked at his body with wide eyes like an anime protagonist.
Yesterday's childish body with baby fat all over it was now nowhere to be seen.
Everywhere Akiho looked muscles bulged, and almost no fat remained. But his body overall still kept its leanness and flexibility.
"Wow, I look like a lean Schwarzenegger, hehe!"
Akiho laughed at his bad joke but still couldn't take his eyes off his body.
It took him 5 minutes to tore of his gaze from his body. When he finally did, he quickly dressed into some plain clothes before he could fall again to his narcissistic temptation.
Going down the stairs, he went into the dining room where already some breakfast waited for him, made by the Todoroki family's exclusive head chef.
After finishing the breakfast Akiho quickly stood up and run outside with excitement. Running through the garden, finally, after ten minutes he arrived at the place he selected before, for training.
It was a beautiful clearing with a clear pond in the middle. Surrounded by a dense bamboo forest giving the place good privacy.
"This will do it for now!"
Akiho murmured to himself satisfied, after looking around making sure nobody is around.
"Okay, let's start with the quirk testing!"
He happily said and pulled out a notebook and a from somewhere in his clothes.
He opened the notebook and started to intently study it.
"First of, enchanted strength, stamina, and agility..."
Akiho read the first line in the book out loud. He didn't have to think about it for long looking at his fit body.
"Check but further study is needed." He put a checkmark in the box beside the first line.
But although he knew he was stronger and during running, he confirmed his increased agility but he wasn't too sure about his limits. As for stamina, he didn't even break a sweat after 10 minutes of sprinting, so the growth was clear here as well.
"Next, enchanted senses..." Akiho read the next line out loud again.
'Hmm, my eyesight clearly got way better!'
He noted after focusing on two big disgusting cicadas mating in the grass...
Akiho closed his eyes and focused on his other four senses.
"I'm not too sure about touching and tasting but my hearing and sense of smell got better! So check!"
He concluded after being able to hear the wing flipping of a butterfly and being able to differentiate between every smell of the flowers in the clearing. Satisfied he put another checkmark next to the second line.
"Third is the healing factor..."
After reading the next line out Akiho frowned a little. He never liked pain (well duh) not to mention self-harm...
But still, after some hesitation, he moved his thumb into his mouth and bit in Naruto style.
"My childhood was a lie!"
Akiho shouted after one minute of trying he still couldn't bite through his skin. In the end, he gave up and decided to postpone the experiment.
"Finally, the last and most important: the quirk!"
After putting a question mark next to the third line Akiho moved to the last line. His face was slightly flushed with excitement as he closed the notebook and hid it under his clothes, ready for the real test.
"Finally it's time to test my strongest power, my quirk!"
Akiho said as his smile stretched wide while in his outstretched hand, a hot ball of flame appeared!
[IMPORTANT! A/n: I'll cut this chapter short today because although I have my own ideas I still would like to know your ideas for what Akiho's quirk would be like. (Obviously, ideas please be fire related...)]
