"Touya?" The 3 year old looked his older brother. His birthday was tomorrow but he hated that day more than anything. "Ne, Touya!" Izuku puffed his cheeks causing Touya to laugh and look at him. "Hi snowball, What's up?" Touya picked Izuku up and sat him on his leg, "Tomorrow is my birthday," He squealed, "It is isn't it?" Today grinned. "Let's wish Shoto a happy birthday before we do anything." Izuku nodded in excitement.
"Touya, please let me come with you! You know things will only get worse since it's my birthday," Touya sighed, Izuku was right but it was HIS birthday, Not to mention Izuku is hard to crack. "Can i come too Touya-Nii?" Touya nodded. Izuku froze. No, This is where it's all gonna go downhill
"Snowflake come here." Touya called out, Snowflake? That's not what Touya called him, he looked back too see Touya laughing and tickling Shoto, Touya swore he'd only do that with Izuku. "Ah, I get it now." Izuku muttered, He walked off to an ATM, "Thankfully i managed to get about a few of dad's black cards." He got 5 thousand dollars off and handed it to Touya. "Thanks Izuku." Izuku let out a sigh. "So no more snowball," The four year old spoke softly walking away.
"Aw you're a cutie~" A man walked up to Izuku, "And I'm 5. You're a pervert." The man raised an eyebrow. "What the hell are you on about? i was complimenting you, you brat." The man groaned, "Ah! I'm sorry! I'm just so used to it, i guess that became an panic response" Izuku shifted uncomfortably. He hummed, "You're here alone?" The man asked, "Eh, Yeah. My big brother is with my twin." Izuku said truthfully. The man looked at his partners with a look of discomfort. "So they let you wonder off by yourself?" The men bent down. "Huh? " Izuku shook his head furiously.
"Nuh uh! He wouldn't do that... N-Not to me!" He looked upset. "You stuttered." The man remarked but changed the subject seeing the kid fidgeting with his fingers. "I'm Chizome Akaguro, This is my Step-Brother; Goto Imasuji and our friend Kai Chisaki." They all greeted Izuku.
"But we're better known as Muscular," Goto said. "Overhaul," Kai chirped. "And Stain." Chizome replied. Izuku had sparkles in his eyes. "I know you guys! i have 5 notebooks of you all! you're my favorite vigilantes!" He squealed. They all looked at each other than back to Izuku.
"Overh- Eh Kai! your quirk is Overhaul right?! Can your quirk be used to heal injuries? Are there any limitations or drawbacks to using the quirk? What happens if someone with the quirk touches an inanimate object? Can the quirk be used to enhance physical abilities? Is it possible to use the quirk on oneself? How does the quirk affect living organisms? Can the quirk be used to manipulate non-organic materials? Are there any known weaknesses or vulnerabilities of the quirk? Can the quirk be used to alter someone's appearance? Is there a limit to the size or complexity of objects that can be affected by the quirk? Can you overhaul anything you want? do you have to use your entire hand in order to overhaul things?! Can you think of what you wanna overhaul? can you take off your gloves with try not to overhaul anything? can you still overhaul things with your gloves on? is the mask necassary? Can you overhaul quirks? Y'know, if someone tries to use their quirk on you can you decay their quirk? If so will it like-- break? I would love too see that in action! it would be so cool!"
He started as Overhaul looked amazed, so did Stain and muscular.
"Ah, Well shit, i didn't think about any of that," Kai processed.
"And you! Your quirk is Muscle Augmentation! Can the quirk be used to increase strength beyond human limits? Are there any side effects or drawbacks to using the quirk? Can the quirk enhance other physical abilities, like speed or agility? How long can someone with the quirk maintain their enhanced strength? Is it possible to control the level of muscle augmentation with this Quirk? Can the Quirk be used to heal muscle injuries or fatigue? Are there any limitations to the types of muscles that can be augmented with this quirk? Can the quirk be used to enhance someone's endurance or stamina? Does the quirk have any impact on the user's appearance? Can the quirk be used to temporarily boost the strength of others?-" Goto laughed then sighed, "Hey Kid! Chill. Go to my brother next!"
"Oki! Your quirk is blood curdle right? With enough training can you go longer than 8 minutes? Do you just have to touch them to paralyze them? can you paralyze them without touching them? Does it depend on the sword you use? If you enhance a sword with a elemental-based quirk what does it do to the paralyzed person and their blood?! How does it affect the target's body? Can the quirk be used to immobilize opponents completely? Are there any limitations or conditions for activating the quirk? 4. Can the quirk be used to manipulate the viscosity of blood? What happens if someone with the quirk targets a non-human creature? 6. Can the blood curdle quirk be used to control the flow of blood within a person's body? Are there any known countermeasures or defenses against the quirk? Does the Blood Curdle Quirk have any long-term effects on the target's health? 9. Can the Blood Curdle Quirk be used to cause internal bleeding or other internal injuries? 10. Is there a range or distance limitation for the quirk to take effect?" Chizome stayed quiet trying to process, keyword; Trying.
"Let's quiz how smart you are Izuku," Chizome hummed, they'd gotten closer with the little one. "What extent do you wanna go to?" Kai sat in his chair. "Uh! Up to 150,000?" They're eyes widen. "97587 x 839279." Muscular looked at Izuku. "Er, it should be 81,902,719,773. I-I think." He answered. Soon enough he answered every question right. "You're 5, right?"
Izuku nodded, "hah.." Kai sighed, "I gotta go, Tomura needs me." Muscular sighed. "And i gotta get to my group, See you tomorrow little flame," Kai smiled as he left. "See you later my little iceflare!" Muscular left. Stain ran his fingers through Izuku soft and fluffy white hair with red tips. "I'll see you again tomorrow my little Frostburg." Stain smiled before leaping away.
Somehow, Those three men managed to be father figures to Izuku.
Izuku walked into the bar. All eyes were on Izuku, god he hated that. His parents already did enough of that and it scared him. Touya did know that, once. That was before he was replaced. But now, Everything about Izuku, Touya just. forgot.
So many times, In his room he had cried. Cried because his twin replaced him, cried because he'd officially lost his family, What was the point of leaving? He'd rather get abused and tortured then live this life.
"I'd rather be with them right now then be questioned." His voice went silent. Touya grabbed Izuku chin and lifted it up, "What the hell is your problem Izuku?" Touya chirped, "I-" He saw Muscular and couldn't help running to the man. Something inside him pissed him off. "Who hurt you my dove." It wasn't a question, Everyone could feel his aura.
Muscular took Izuku away from this mess, Izuku was having a panic attack, He couldn't breathe. "I-I can't breathe papa.." Izuku muttered. "Just focus on me ok my little dove." Muscular soothed. "I- It's hard, It's blurry papa." Muscular moved back from Izuku as hot ice covered his body,
"Izuku? My little dove, i need you to listen to me. I'm here for you and i have no intentions of telling Chizome and Kai, I just need you to know i am here for you and I'll do my best for you and only you. I just need you to calm down." Izuku's breathing slowed down hearing that,"I-I'm sorry Papa--" He apologized. "Don't apologize Izuku.
Izuku always dreamed of going to U.A. But never this way. he's a villain now and this hero foreplay is just an act. Thanks to Muscular he's learned to block out any emotion, He saw this stunning blonde with red eyes. He made Izuku's heart skip a few beats, Perhaps it was love. His heart fluttered any time they interacted. His love only growing, He had also made some friends along the way. Everything was going smoothly. He had become friends with the teachers and principal. It wasn't until he saw his twin kissing...
His crush?
That's when he realized. This. Was. Not. Gonna. End. Well.
But the time the summer camp had came he was basically forgotten. "Go run to Mandalay and Tiger. I'll handle him. Izuku said glaring at Muscular. Kota nodded and left as Izuku let his guard down. "Something's wrong." Izuku didn't respond, Yet still Muscular noticed, "Act like i deafeated you, i don't wanna lost that kid's trust." Muscular raised an eyebrow but did so.
Where was he? Where had Izuku gone? No one's seen him around for 6 months already. Ever since Muscular played as Izuku beat him.
"Izuku Todoroki, Dabi and HellFrost's little brother?" The man nodded, "Interesting. He's quite the cutie. Locate him." The man smirked, red tinting his face. "Sir, I don't think that's possible, Izuku Todoroki has been off the charts for atleast 6 six months." The man said. "Why would he leave the league of villains? They're the top villain organization so far," The boss checked his data.
"Huh? There's a glitch in my system." The man glared.
"The league recently had 326 members and 2,830 kills right?" The boss held his fist under his chin, "Yes sir." The man bowed, "There's a new group? The amount of members are unknown but they're kills are 1,567... 1,568... 2,000... 2,500.. 2,700... 3,000... 4,000?!" The man froze,
"That is going abnormally fast sir." The man glared. "My system has no info about them, It's almost as if it's been--" The computer glitched as the two mans moved back, The computer exploded as their eyes widen the boss hurriedly put up a shield."
--bugged." He started. "No one has ever been inside my office, i never leave this place." He gulped.
"It worked perfectly as you planned my grace." A blonde smirked, his royal purple and royal gold eye shining in the dark room. "Perfect," He purred, "Excellent job Sparrow, Now. I think it's time for you to head back to U.A let's not reveal your self just yet, Takes the others with you." He demanded. He threw a stick at Sparrow. "I would have forgotten this, Thank you my grace." Sparrow left.
He threw two knives at the wall.
Even so, Time continued to pass by, Still no sight or information on the youngest Todoroki. The most worried was Overhaul, Muscular and Stain and Shigaraki?
Now that was weird, Shigaraki didn't even know Izuku existed. He only knew about Shoto.
U.A had another event, they went to USJ once more, only to have multiple surprises in one. "Villains again!?" A purple showed up, but so did a... black and gold portal?
"Who is?" Tomura scratched his neck. He shook his head as Shoto revealed himself. "Shoto-" Katsuki has a look of disappointment as Shoto held his hand out signaling his lover to come forward. There on out, for love Katsuki had just became a villain. All For love.
"Oh such a lovely reunion. It's disgusting." A voice floated. "If you belong to me. Get over here. I don't have time for this uselessness." A voice growled as Aoyama, Denki, Mina, Uraraka, Mei, Tsuyu and Momo walked to the person as marks appeared on their face. Aizawa looked honestly hurt.
"I feel, Negativity," The boss looked around to see Aizawa with his same expression it just felt off. He took off his mask. With a sadistic grin on his face. The tension was too thick. "Izuku Todoroki at your dear service." He bowed, taking off his jacket. "Need me to get that my grace?" Momo bowed. "If you wish." He handed the jacket to her. "I-Izuku?" Dabi begged.
Izuku. It was still Izuku. That had made it official, had it not?
"I don't know you." Izuku clenched his fist. Dabi felt his world crash down before him. "It's me, Your brother." Izuku looked away, "Don't have one of those." Izuku looked at his fist. Of course. Frost and Endeavor had to be there, to see their dead children.
"Frankly. I don't care about any of you here. I just want to watch you all burn." Endeavor walked to his youngest son.
"You're in pain," Endeavor whispered. "I'M NOT GET OFF!!" Izuku screamed. He was not going to make a fool out of Izuku and everything he worked so hard to make. His eyes turned black as ropes made of black fire appeared on Endeavor's hand.
"You will not proceed to make me seem like such a fool infront of all these people." He spoke formally. "I don't need your pitiful love. I also don't need your saving. I will never be a Todoroki, I will never be the foolish Izuku you all once knew." Izuku glared seeing Shigaraki. "Where is he?" Izuku looked around, Not seeing his father figure.
"Where's Muscular?" The league froze. "Dead, He wouldn't listen to what he was told to do, so i killed him." Dabi shrugged. Izuku froze. "You killed him?" Izuku's group stepped back as white fire covered Izuku. "You took him from me?" A mutter.
Muscular was there more, Izuku hadn't been able to see the others. Just Muscular since he was on "punishment" for not listening.
He wished they'd kill him, but it's over now.
He didn't wanna cry. Not infront of them anyways.
"W-What about K-Kai- I mean Overhaul?" Izuku choked, tears burning his eyes. "Oh! Shiggy decayed him arm and i killed him! he hurt big sis mange!" Shoto said proudly.
No one saw Denki and Tomura's expression. It was murderous.
Denki looked at Tomura who nodded. "You all get into the portal, I'll take his grace." Denki commanded as they all got into the portal. Denki grabbed the jacket from Momo before she left, "Your grace," Denki slipped the jacket on Izuku and put on his masks. Denki snapped his fingers as lightning struck down and made everyone faint, All except Him, Izuku and Tomura.
Izuku visions was blurry he couldn't see or hear anything. Like in a trance. Denki made a portal to nowhere as they all got in.
"Hey, Kid can you hear me?" Shigaraki held Izuku's waist. "Move back." Denki sighed and walked to Izuku. "Your grace!" Denki slapped Izuku. "Why do you all insist on calling me that? I'm not royal. I'm just a normal villain.
"Within a week, you managed to already assemble an entire league while managed to get #1 on the villain group ranks and getting 5,000 kills within 3 days." Denki smiled.
"Don't congratulate me." Izuku looked away. "Stain, did you guys-" Shigaraki shook his head nod. "Nope, Stain's alive, what's up with you and those three."
The silence thickened. "They're all like my fathers. They've raised me since i was a baby. Due to me being locked up un my room at the base," Izuku put his hand on his chin looking away. Tomura felt guilty and it wasn't even his fault.
"I've learned to favor Muscular more, Though thankfully whenever it was night Muscular snuck me out each night," Izuku looked around. "Get. Me out of here." Izuku growled.
"Hey. Cara mia." Shigaraki looked at Izuku.
Now Izuku knew a shit ton of languages. Italian included so he knew what he meant but just went red. "I-" He blushed as he paled. "E-Ele só me chamou de meu amor. ELE ESTÁ FLERTANDO COMIGO?! Oh, meu Deus. Não posso estar apaixonada por esse idiota. Mas.. Ele é muito fofo, ai meu Deus Estou apaixonada por ele!? Agora que eu menciono que é.... Acho que estou apaixonada por ele..." Izuku blushed while speaking in Portuguese, No one understood. thank god to that.
"So you're telling me... My brother is dead, Kai. Is dead, Your the leader of a huge villain group and your inlove with your old boss?" Stain asked. "Sounds about right." Izuku purred.
"You were closer to Goto, How are you feeling about that Izuku?" Izuku froze, "I-" He didn't want to cry.
Was he weak if he did so? Would Stain think so? Would he be a burden to Stain? Does Stain hate him for being a villain. Would Stain be mad it's his fault Kai and Goto were gone? Was it really his fault?
The thought got to the point he blocked everyone out.
He saw them as what he didn't want to become. Which was like both his brothers. Selfish. His mother. Abusive. His sister. Too Kind. His brother, Natsuo. Tons of hatred in his heart. Can't seem to believe the truth. His father. A toxic hero. A good guy in disguise. A bastard with an abusive mother. His auntie. Blinded by love and lust. His uncle. Satan's plaything. His younger self. Pathetic, Blind, Useless. Burden. Mistake. God the list went on.
"Cara mia? You're not responding, are you ok?" Shigaraki knocked on the door. "We're worried for you my grace." Denki said worriedly.
𝑰𝒕'𝒔 𝒂𝒍𝒍 𝒇𝒂𝒌𝒆. 𝑻𝒉𝒆𝒚 𝒅𝒐𝒏'𝒕 𝒄𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒚𝒐𝒖.
Stop.
𝑾𝒉𝒐 𝒘𝒐𝒖𝒍𝒅 𝒄𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒔𝒐𝒎𝒆 𝒔𝒐 𝒑𝒂𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒕𝒊𝒄 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒖𝒔𝒆𝒍𝒆𝒔𝒔?
Enough.
𝒀𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒕𝒐𝒐 𝒎𝒖𝒄𝒉 𝒐𝒇 𝒂 𝒅𝒊𝒔𝒈𝒓𝒂𝒄𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝒃𝒆 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆𝒅.
It's hurting.
𝑾𝒉𝒚 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒔𝒖𝒄𝒉 𝒂 𝒃𝒖𝒓𝒅𝒆𝒏?
Don't be so honest.
𝑾𝒆𝒂𝒌.
Please lie to my face.
𝒀𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒘𝒆𝒂𝒌
The truth hurts. Stop it. Please.
It stopped? That was weird.
Izuku covered his ears, it was blurry. He couldn't hear. why couldn't he see anything? He knew the feeling, It happened once, a panic attack and he wouldn't allow anyone's help. He wanted his Papa. He wanted Muscular to help him.
Had he made mistake falling in love?
The voices had convinced him he was meaningless and had no worth and people would never ever love him. Once in a lifetime Shigaraki never kissed Izuku. But Tenko did.
Was it wrong to want something you've never asked for?
"We love you Izuku, We'll wait for you to come out." Denki smiled sliding down Izuku's door. Both Denki and Shigaraki realized they loved Izuku, Tomura romantically and plantonically for Denki. and even if he hadn't said it back yet, they knew he was upset. So they waited.
How can you say the words 'i love you' if the word never even came out your mouth?
"I-"
How can three words be so complicated to say? You mean the words so much but there just so complicated to say, Why?
"I..I love you guys also," Izuku muttered back.
So complicated yet so meaningful, Why did it take so much energy?
"You said it back cara mia?" Shigaraki asked softly. Izuku meant every word yet it took much effort.
What had the words i love you really mean?
Why had those words wield so much power?
If you say the words to your lover and they say it back how could you tell they really mean it?
How could you tell if they meant it?
At one point they could mean it but what if they're quietly snickering behind the door?
This wasn't right.
Now that Izuku realized it.
Nothing was. Why had his older brother suddenly forgot about him after a day?
Did he not really love him?
Why had his friends and crush immediately went for his brother?
..Was he ever real to begin with?
He most definitely was. But it seemed as so he was randomly dissappearing from certain images and was being replaced by his brother.
Now it begs the question.
Why did Shoto feel the need to replace him so bad?
Izuku walked to Shoto, "You've succeeded in taking my life, what else do you need?" Izuku asked.
"Shigaraki and Denki are too loyal so is your little group. I can't get past that. I want it. I need it." Shoto grumbled. "You feel I'm superior to you? So you have to take my place in life?" Izuku looked ay his twin.
"Superior? You're a mistake Izuku! Mother and father didn't want you! An accidental birth for god's sake! They told me theirselves you weren't supposed to be alive! They wanted one child! ME!" Shoto stood up with fury.
Now, Izuku did manage to catch his parents saying something like that as a child he just never thought of it. But it had been confirmed by Shoto just now.
"As much as i believe you, you should've just killed me, make it so much easier on you." Shoto smirked.
"See that would be soo~ much fun but ruining you life and taking everything you love was amazing!~" Shoto smiled wickedly. "And so you've successfully done so. Are you done?" Izuku asked calmly.
"Even so, I have a few more things to finish." Shoto spun as Izuku grabbed a knife placing it into Shoto's hand.
"I don't need this stupid weirdo." Shoto lowered his hand as Izuku grabbed his wrist, forcing the knife into his stomach. Shoto's eyes went wide. "What are you-" Shoto froze. "Finishing your job." Izuku bent down.
"It was never so hard, especially when we were younger. You had every opportunity."
"I-Izuku i never intended on killing you physically. I just- i only wanted to fuck up your mental stability!" Shoto explained. "What's done is done. It doesn't make anything change now," Izuku held his stomach.
"I don't need you to heal me dad," Izuku sighed. "You think I'm gonna let my baby boy get stabbed in the stomach and not help him? You've already been through a lot already Izuku." Stain glared. "What's your point? I did this to myself." Stain froze. "My brother didn't want do this, i i forced him too." Izuku laid back. he paled.
Why did you?-
Why did?
He wasn't hesitant.
Why did he?

"So you choose to stay locked up Cara Mia?" Shigaraki caressed his lovers hair not getting a response. "Remember what i told you?" Izuku closed his eyes.
"Cara Mia?" Shigaraki sat outside Izuku's door. No response. "I will stay by your door until you let me in. I won't hesitate to wait until you're ready, and i know you're going through a lot right now with Overhaul and Muscular being dead but i promise I'll try my best to treasure you. I don't like love and i don't like people but I'll try, for you and only you." Shigaraki said softly.
Yeah, i remember fondly, Your sweet words. Izuku thought.
"Must i need to answer? I remember your words vividly Mo ghrá." Izuku responded quietly. Shigaraki looked down at Izuku. "I haven't heard your voice in so long, i was starting to think you've gone mute." Shigaraki responded. "Everytime you speak your answer is always so formal. i guess you're members have gotten to you with the nickname?" Shigaraki smiled.
"No," Izuku reluctantly said. "Not at all. Whenever i was younger and would go to Overhaul's group, his group would usually call me your highness, my prince, my king. Anything royal sometimes it would be feminine as i have an odd addiction to female clothes but not revealing ones. Not only that." He said emotionlessly.
"Even so, I was born into the 2nd heroes family. I was born to be as perfect as my parents wanted especially since i was unplanned. I needed to be the perfect. So being perfect resulted in my being ever so formally." Izuku echoed.
"You deserves the world." Tomura assured. "I do not." Izuku glared. "You're right, You deserve the galaxy and everything within it." Tomura smiled. "NO!" Izuku shouted. "It's not right. Tomura," Izuku started. "I never want to hear you say that Tomura." Izuku demanded. "I hate when people say that. It makes me feel weak. Only one person has said that before and i never want to here it from anyone else."
"Why'd you leave me?"
"I wanna be with you."
"Please."
"Just come back Papa, Please."

--------------------------------
"I'm taking you to therapy, Hopefully it'll help you, ok?" Izuku paled. God. He didn't like venting to people.
"Do you believe it's all your fault?" Izuku froze. "Izuku Todoroki, how many times have you tried to killed yourself?" Izuku raised an eyebrow with wide eyes.
"I will fucking kill you. Ask me anymore personal questions like that. I. dare. you." Izuku crossed his legs. "Why have you tried to overdose," The lady smirked.
"Go ahead dear, i have the police force and heroes on the other line." The lady smirked as Izuku dragged his feet. "Stupid did you forget i was Endeavor's youngest son, having i have both my parents quirk?" Black ice covered the lady.
"You little!-" Izuku walked up to her. "I. am. TIRED. of being underestimated. Of being treated like a child and damn well tired of being HURT." Izuku growled.
"Why won't you let me push you away!?" Izuku tried to push Tomura off of him. "Because you're alone. I promised I'd be there for you and i will keep my promise. Stain and Denki is dead and you have no one else i know that. Just let me be there for you. You know I'm most likely gonna be next." Izuku breathed heavily.
"Don't you EVER say that! I may not have been able to protect the rest of them but i promise to god I'll try and protect you." Izuku stopped, "So stay with me then Izuku, just us." He held Izuku's waist as Izuku he cried in Tomura's chest.
"Go ahead, call me weak i don't care." Izuku spat.
"I'm not gonna call you weak for crying. It's natural for a human." Tomura kissed Izuku on his forehead.
"You're my sweet spot Cara Mia, The sweetest candy I've ever tasted, addicting and hard to not like."
