Tenko looked at his mother with venom dripping from his glare.
,,Sorry? And?"he urged the woman to continue, rolling his eyes.
Hana furrowed her eyebrows. ,,Don't talk like that to mom, you little shit! Mom came to visit you and this is your 'Welcome Home'?"she yelled at him, causing him to again roll his eyes. He walked to the kitchen, making a tea, waving at them from behind. ,,Whatever, get the fuck out."
Tenko Shimura was currently a twenty-one year old man. His job could be described as a bodyguard to the Todoroki family's eldest son, Touya. The man was self destructive, though Tenko couldn't blame him, seeing how fucked in the head he was. Plus, his daddy was famous, putting a target on his head for more than one reason.
The work payed well. Nothing too fancy, but enough to pay for an apartment and something to put in mouth.
Definitely better than living with Shimura Kotaro. His beloved father.
He still remembered vividly the betrayal of his mother.
It will be written in his mind until he dies. He's sure of it.
,,I'm so sorry..."the woman cried, before sitting the small girl with pigtails into the passenger seat in her car.
She looked at her brother waving her hand.
,,Mommy? Where-?" Nao hugged her son one last time, before sitting into the car and driving off, leaving the confused child running behind, trying to catch up to the car.
He didn't understand what happened back than.
He also never told his father, where his wife and daughter went.
Tenko wasn't a rat. As soon as he realized what had happened, he decided to take his mother's escape to his grave.
And now here she was. Apologizing, like it made up for all those years of abuse. Like she didn't abandon him at all. Like she ever loved him and loves him now.
What a damn joke.
,,Look, Nao. I've been doing a okay these past fourteen years, I don't need you to start interfering with my business."he spat, eyes narrowed in glare. He went over to one of the bedrooms, knocking gently, before opening the door. Nao's eyes welled with tears at the fact that her son doesn't even see her as his mother anymore.
,,How do you feel?"the bluenette asked his boyfriend, setting the tea on bedside table. Touya coughed. ,,'s getting better..."
Tenko was in the Todoroki household taking care of his, currently sick, lover and the one he was assigned to protect by the number one hero himself.
That's how Nao found him.
It wasn't a secret, that Shimura was guarding the Todoroki child. Enji found his scary quirk perfect for the dangers that came with this job.
It didn't happen once or twice someone wanted to either kidnap or try to kill the white haired man.
Todoroki Touya was Endeavor's star child, right after Shoto. Shoto became a hero in training, meanwhile Touya was forbidden to work as a hero. Having his ass layed down all day long and getting big money from Enji Todoroki was his fate. Not a bad one, if Tenko was to say so himself.
They kicked him out of UA the moment the teachers saw his burns. It broke Touya and with his already low self preservation he was deemed to have someone watching over him. Someone who got how disappointment he was. Who could help him. That someone was Tenko Shimura. The younger man went through so much abuse just for wanting to be a hero. His father forbid it the same way Endeavor did for Touya.
Except the eldest Todoroki child got actual treatment for the years of feeling abandoned by everybody, for the way his self was so praise starved. Tenko was still facing all of his insecurities without anyone there to help him. His father never cared and by the way his mother and sister abandoned him neither did they.
Touya tried. He still tries to help Tenko the best he can, even with his own issues on the table. The blue eyed man keeps lifting Tenko from the very bottom of the pits of his depression, and Tenko was happy with this honestly!
It made him so happy when he found out someone cared after such a long time!
"Where are they?" Kotaro asked frowning at the blue haired boy in front of him. The small Shimura sniffled shaking his head. ,,I don't know father!" He clutched his cheeks with his small dangerous hands as the older man slapped him again.
,,You disgusting mug! It's your fault, isn't it?! Of course she would! Nao left me here with the biggest mistake i ever made! Out of my house!" For good measure, he kicked the boy, letting him crawl away and outside....
Since than many things happened. Kotaro found many ways to make Tenko understand he didn't want him. Didn't want to be near him. Show him that Kotaro in fact didn't love him.
,,Dad missed you..."the red eyed man grumbled out as he exited the room, letting the Todoroki sleep.
The brunette looked at him with tearful, yet hopeful gaze.
He took some fruit from the basket left on the counter and started cutting it into slices.
The Shimura boy wasn't sure whether he was happy or disgusted with himself for ruining that little bits of hope.
,,Ohhh yeah. He missed you soo much!"he dragged out, giving her a pointed smile over his shoulder.
,,On those nights he let me sleep inside, but made me wish i would be outside!"he winked, watching the older woman widen her eyes, lips frowning in deep concen and perhaps disgust.
In who? He wouldn't know. He didn't even care. Those days were behind him, just like Kotaro was behind bars.
It was one of the reasons why he accepted to work for the Todoroki's. Enji Todoroki was grade A asshole, but they made a deal. He would rid Tenko of Kotaro and the bluenette would take care of the eldest Todoroki sibling.
And perhaps treat him when he was sick, but that was more of a boyfriend privilege of his.
,,Tenko?"Hana asked cautiously, her hands were hiding her mouth, which probably tasted of vomit, she supressed.
He knew that feeling. Felt it every time his father would pleasure himself on Tenko's behalf or even when he remembered it.
It got better over time. Touya helped him a lot. Fuyumi even asked him for consent to sign him up to some therapy. He knew he needed it, that much was painfully obvious.
,,I'm fine..."he took time to reconsider his words, ,,I will be fine..."
He turned his back to them. They could watch him work if they wanted to. They also could try again another day. But today wasn't it. Couldn't be. Tenko couldn't take it. He couldn't forgive even though he didn't hold a grudge against either of them. He knew why they ran away, even if it hurt every part of his body and make him shake with shame and helplessness, perhaps even rage. He still understood.
,,But your sorry won't help me to become fine..." with that he finished cutting the fruits for Touya and went into his room, closing the door behind himself quietly, letting the two women sulk in the quiet kitchen of the Todoroki household.
