Chapter Text
It all started when he was four years old after being confirmed quirkless.
Izuku’s dad was disappointed in him for not having a quirk and said so to him, shattering his small heart. From that day his dad had ignored him and even hit him for small reasons as, not picking up his toys or didn't eat everything off his plate.
“you can't even do these simple things, so useless.” Hisashi had once said as he kicked Izuku in the stomach, causing him to fall to the floor.
“Dad please I'll be good" Izuku sobbed as he got a final kick to his stomach and was left there to lie until his mother found him and put him to bed thinking Izuku was just so tired that he fell asleep on the floor.
After a month of this his mother found out when she was giving Izuku a bath and saw bruises littering his small frame, all hell broke loose after that, his mom and dad had a massive fight resulting in Izuku’s father to storm out, he was not to be seen again for many years. Not until Izuku's eight birthday.
Izuku's eighth birthday party was not going to be filled with his friends playing games and laughing together, Izuku knew that,well he had invited kacchan but he just scowled and threw the invitation down the river. But he was still excited for his birthday, he was going to get his mom to buy the newest all might Merch and go see a movie.
That is to say was the plan but it was set off course by one thing, Izuku's dad had shown up at the door mid morning that day.
“what do you want?” Inko prying into him as she looked him up and down as if to find the answer on him.
“I just wanted to see my son" he simply replied staring through her.
“after four years of not saying a word" Inko retorted honestly shocked at the pure stupidity of his answer, she sensed something was up.
“yes, I just realised recently that I have been neglectful as a father and Izuku needs a father figure" he explained calmly as he gave a small half smile to Inko.
Inko was about to say something when she heard the patter of feet running to them.
“mom!” he jumped forward and hugged her.
A smile spread to her cheeks as she ruffled his hair “good morning sweety”.
When Izuku was done nuzzling into her stomach he looked up to see who was at the door and his face was like he had seen a ghost.
“hey buddy" Hisashi offered and held his hands out but when Izuku stayed clinged to his mother he retracted his arms and straightened his shirt.
A slight glint could be seen in his eyes but it disappeared as soon as it had arrived.
“can I borrow him for a while?” Hisashi asked Inko as if asking to borrow a cup of sugar or something.
“no" Inko replied quickly and firmly.
“at least let him decide” Hisashi chimed in as he crouched down to Izuku who only tried to hide himself behind his mother.
“do you want to go on a little adventure with me?” he asked Izuku in a sweet voice but his face said ‘if you deny your going to pay for it’.
Izuku was not stupid so he reluctantly shook his head yes with tears in his eyes, his mother looked at him dismayed and then scoffed.
“fine but have him back by three" she said sternly. “or else I'm calling the cops".
“all right” Hisashi replied as he took Izuku's hand and walked him out the door, not giving them time to say goodbye.
“say goodbye to your mom bastard" he muttered as they went down the stairs down the apartment complex and Izuku already wanted to turn around and run to his mother.
The day was spent with his dad spitting insults at him in the car and to a destination where Izuku was told to wait in the car, he waited until the sun was starting to set in the car, just as he started gathering nerves to go outside the car he heard a commotion outside.
“Itz fiinee" he heard someone slurring.
“Don’t come back tonight" Izuku heard a woman yell as he peeked through the window he saw who was getting yelled at, his dad.
“itz nowt like I wanted to come back" hisashi yelled back and stumbled into the car.
He slammed the door shut and clumsily started the engine, Izuku was too afraid to say anything so he just sat there silent. The whole ride was quiet until they got to the apartment complex.
“now I tell you kid, If you say anything about this day I'll beat you up, you understand” he stated and Izuku nodded his head yes.
“and you'll tell that bitch how much fun we had okay?”he added and Izuku nodded his head again, just wanting this to be over.
“all right lezgo!” he declared as he got out of the car and Izuku followed him.
‘Oh god’ Izuku thought to himself ‘mom is gonna be pissed’.
When they got to the apartment Hisashi knocked on the door and it flung open immediately.
“where the hell have you been?!” Inko yelled, frightening Izuku a little.
“I said three!, three O’clock! do you know what time it is?!” she fumed as she pulled me to her and glared at her husband.
“I dunno baby" Hisashi said as he tried to touch her.
“stop" she slapped his hand away and pushed him out of the doorway and slammed the door to his face.
Stunned Izuku just stood there crying as he saw the scene unfold. His mother wrapped her hands around him and comforted him.
“Its okay now, It's okay” Inko soothed him as she stroked through his hair and picked him up.
She put him in his pajamas and tucked him into bed, lazily Izuku looked at the clock on his bed stand half past midnight, too tired he quickly fell asleep fearing if he would ever see his father again or if he would leave them alone.
His answer was soon discovered when Izuku woke up the next morning, he looked at the clock which read eight in the morning.
Strange.
His mother usually would have woken him up by now, he was late for school.
He got out of his bed, slipped into his slippers and started the search for his mom. He checked her bedroom first, she wasn't there. next he checked the bathroom, nobody there. Finally he went to the living room and his stomach churned and he threw up, there was his mother lying on the floor, Dead.
Izuku cried as he approached his mother, blood splattered the walls and she was cut up In several places, she put up a fight.
Reaching for her hand he gripped it tightly, he felt her previously warm and soft hand stiffened and ice cold.
After several agonizing minutes Izuku finally called the police
