Touya always had big dreams, dreams that his father put in his head at a young age and he would do anything for them dreams to become reality but of course his baby brother 'shoto' had to be blessed with both ice and fire while he got the fire and ice resistance.
As he was getting ready to go to Sekoto Peak for training he heard a tiny voice.
"Touya-nii, where are you going" says shoto
"I will train on Sekoto Peak, i called dad i hope he shows up this time" he responded
"I thought he told you to stop using your quirk" natsuo joined in with the conversation.
"I will make him change his mind once he gets to see what i can do" spoke the older brother.
"Touya-nii , i hate to admit it but don't you think you're going to far? i'm worried." natsuo told touya.
All touya wanted to do is prove to enji that he can become a hero no matter what so shared to the younger brothers.
"Theres nothing to worry about, i know my body better then anyone i will make him proud to have me in this world."
Touya left promising natsuo and shoto that he will be back for dinner.
Sekoto Peak had always been a comforting place for him to train his flames, his dad came there to train before he became a pro hero so he knew it's definitely a perfect place and its also close to home so he doesn't have to walk far. 'Now i just need to wait' he thought to himself.'
Hours had past still no sign of endeavour tears started to pour from touyas eyes all he could think about is 'maybe he doesn't care' and 'i hate this stupid weak body'.
The tears started to turn in to flames, his body began to burn and the flames just didn't stop he couldn't control them.
"back before dinner - i'm sorry natsu-kun. That day i didn't come back home.

Touya woke up in a hospital room alone, he was confused on how he was still alive many different questions ran around his head 'how long has it been'. A nurse came in the room to check on how he was doing and the first thing touya said was;
"Where am i? Wheres my father"
"In a hospital, you've been in a coma for 3 years." the nurse responded
To touya it only felt like a few seconds but to know it's been 3 years had shocked him, his voice had changed alot and now he was 16.
"Hi touya" Enji spoke in a firm tone.
He was definitely happy to see his father there but he listened has enji explained everything that had happened to him.
"That day, you lost control of your flames. I was too late and you were unconscious. But somehow, you survived."
Once Enji stopped talking theres was one thing that touya wanted to ask his dad.
"Father, please answer me....do you think someone weak like me can become a hero like you" he asked in a quiet voice.
"I don't think so, but if you want to try i won't stop you i will only support you." replied enji.
So thats what touya did his siblings were happy that he was alive but he couldn't face his mother yet not after everything he had said to her, he trained hard enough. By the time the UA entrance exam he managed to get first place which still enji didn't give him attention and praise.

Touyas first day at UA went well he made two friends, Keigo and Tenko occasionally keigo would get on his nerves but hes still a friend to him.
Since the start of the year all touya could think about how far away him and his classmates were that he couldn't reach them at all, and to him he even couldn't do his older brother role properly and that he couldn't protect shoto from enji ’𝖨𝗌 𝗁𝖾 𝗌𝗍𝗂𝗅𝗅 𝗍𝗋𝗒𝗂𝗇𝗀 𝗍𝗈 𝗀𝖾𝗍 𝗁𝗂𝗌 𝖽𝖺𝖽𝗌 𝖺𝗍𝗍𝖾𝗇𝗍𝗂𝗈𝗇’, '𝖨𝗌 𝗁𝖾 𝖾𝗏𝖾𝗇 𝖺𝗅𝗅𝗈𝗐𝖾𝖽 𝗍𝗈 𝗁𝖺𝗇𝗀 𝗈𝗎𝗍 𝗐𝗂𝗍𝗁 𝗁𝗂𝗌 𝖿𝗋𝗂𝖾𝗇𝖽𝗌 𝗈𝗎𝗍𝗌𝗂𝖽𝖾 𝗌𝖼𝗁𝗈𝗈𝗅’.
Those thoughts kept haunted touya until the sports festival.
"Can someone weak like me, become a hero?"

"Todoroki-kun, you're not weak."
