Chapter Text
There were once three brothers travelling down a lonely winding road- wait, wrong story.
This is the story of three brothers one torn from the other two which caused one to go down a dark path
The three consisted of the eldest, Katsumi, and the twins Yoichi and Tomura, while Yoichi was sickly with a strong will. Tomura could be as physically strong as anyone else but didn't have the confidence to stand up for himself, despite trying to stand up for others. Katsumi would protect both of them with his life,
At this time what would be called 'quirks' had just started appearing and being called 'meta abilities' the three brothers were all curious about them. Katsumi himself had a power, if you're reading this you probably know what it is and who Katsumi will become.,, So what changed for him and more Importantly how did the real Tomura die?
The three brothers were having their rare moments away from home or school, they were rarest for Yoichi, due to his health, but this was a rare time that the older of the twins was not feeling sick, so he and Tomura played tag while their older brother watched, doing his homework. Katsumi is currently 16 while the other two were 11,
Tomura giggled as he tagged Yoichi, "You're it Yoicchan!" He ran the other way.
"That's so unfair Tomu!" Yoichi yelled running after him getting tired faster as he often did due to his sickly body, despite not being sick his energy levels were never as high as Tomura's
Unbeknownst to the 11 year olds, their older brother had closed his book and was walking over behind Tomura and hugging him, said boy was startled until he realized who it was "Kacchan!"
The elder one ruffled his hair, "It's time to go home," he said, despite knowing none of them wanted to..
"Do we really have to?" Yoichi asked, walking up next to his brothers.
Katsumi sighed, "yea.."
"Why can't we just run away?" Yoichi asked
"We don't have any way to earn money for your medicine, Yoi, I hate it as much as you but... we have to stay there..."
The three separated, Yoichi taking one of Katsumi's hands while Tomura took Yoichi's other hand, they left that safe clearing, Katsumi grabbing his school bag on the way back to their house, though none of them called it 'home'.
They snuck in the front door, taking off their shoes and starting to go up stairs as quiet as possible.
"Well, well, well..." The three stopped and turned when they heard their father, "if it isn't the three brats!"
The three walked back down to where their father was, Katsumi being the first one to speak, shielding his little brothers as much as he can "yes father?"
"I told you three brats to come home right after school!" The man glared at his three sons, "where the hell were you?!"
Katsumi glared back at the man he had to call 'father; he was more of a sperm donor, though their mother died when the twins were born, Katsumi could not remember a time when she had genuinely smiled when around their father. "none of your damn business, Old Man!"
"What did you say to me, brat?!"
"You heard me, fucker!"
The twins started to back away, as they knew their father was distracted, but they also want to see what will happen, despite have seen something like this each time they manage to get out for any length of time.
Their father lunged at Katsumi, who, being used to this, pushes him back since he knows his little brothers haven't left the hall behind him.
Four years later on another outing the three brothers had, it was a beautiful day and they were simply walking when they all heard a scream, they all walked toward it to see someone throwing fireballs at an innocenrt woman, Yoichi tried to hold his twin back but his grip wasn't strong enough, so the seemingly powerless boy ran headlong into the fray, apparently not hearing Katsumi shout for him to "come back" while Yoichi stood and stared.
"stop, you're hurting her!" the 15 year old yelled at the fire-wielding man.
"Oh, you think you can stop me you brat!" The man laughed "you look weak and powerless!" Sure most people with meta abilities at this time were on the downlow and were kind to people without them, there were people like this, people who were angry at being in the minority.
"I-I.." Tomura was stunned as he realized he had no idea what to do
The man threw one of his fire balls, but by the time Tomura was aware of it he was already too late to dodge.. the fire ball was to strong for him to withstand which caused him to fall to the ground no longer breathing.
His two brothers had been to stunned when the fire ball had been aimed at their beloved brother, that they couldn't have pushed him out of the way, while the woman had run immediately when the guys attention was on the boy.
After losing him Katsumi's mental state got worse, until eventually the events we all know happened, ten years later.
