    Summary

    “Daddy says I’m selfish. Do you think I’m selfish, baby?”

    Kenma shook his head faster than he ever had before, wide eyes glued to his brand new console.

    “That’s good,” his mother sighed, brushing aside his hair and kissing him on the forehead. She then leaned in close to whisper to him, “Everything’s okay now. Daddy made me leave for longer than usual this time, but I promise I’m not letting him separate us anymore.”

    Kenma grew up quietly, with conditions attached to his love and worth, and quickly had to adapt to life with a pathological narcissist for a mother.

    Summary

    At three, Shouto sees his mother beaten for his brother’s weak ice quirk. He sees how Natsu cowers at loud noises weeks later, and how Mama never quite smiles all the way afterwards.

    At four, he watches Aniki burn himself away, screaming as his flesh smoulders over, with their father standing over him. He hears the sobbing even through the hands Yumi presses over his ears.

    At five, Father gets impatient. He gets bigger and scarier and pushes a little harder every day Shouto doesn’t gain a quirk.

    So, at six, Shouto decides powers are dangerous. He takes the spark settled in his chest, and he snuffs it out.

    Todoroki Shouto never develops a quirk, and that changes everything.
