City Boy (TodoBaku)

Chapter 2: Dull

So I fell asleep and forgot to post the rest. I said in my other story that i'll be posting this yesterday. Sorry I slept early due to a breakdown.

Shoto's POV:

My eyes fluttered open. A bright light was on my face and my head began to hurt. I'm in a white room with and I could hear beeping on my left. It was a monitor. I touched my face. It felt sore, really sore. I looked around once more and sighed. I'm alone. It's so quiet.

◇

After a while the door opened to see my siblings were there. I lay down hiding my face. I pretended I was asleep then listened to their conversation. "He's still asleep" Fuyumi said worried. "Yeah, what did dad do?" I heard touya say. "Yeah, I don't believe he just fell from the stairs, he's still here for 3 weeks!" Natsuo said. I then shot up. "3 weeks?!" I said.

They all jumped at my reaction. "Wait, you're awake?" Fuyumi asked. "What happened? What did dad do to you?" She asked. "He.. he threw me at a steel cabinet? Then kicked me in the stomach, I think I vomited blood" I mutter the last part. "He did what?!?!" Natsuo asked. I looked down. I was frightened at the loud sound. "Sorry" he whispered and hugged me. I was stiff because I didn't know why he was doing to me.

"I jusy wanted to read...and now I'm in the hospital" I said annoyed. Touya pat my back. "Don't worry about it. I'll buy you new ones" he said. I smiled but it soon faltered. What'll happen if it causes another conflict? A voice said. I shake my head and looked down. I saw fuyumi texting someone then the door opened. My siblings left because only 3 people were allowed in the room, that's what I heard from the nurse anyway.

Mother came in and she sat next to me. I hugged her and she smiled. Soon a man that is known as my 'father' entered. I gripped mother more and she touched my arm and pat it telling me it's fine. "Shoto" father started. "I'm sorry.." he said and I glared at him in disgust. "Mom can he leave?" I ask. "Why honey?" Mother asked. "I don't wanna get hurt again" I say digging my face in her embrace. My head was at her arms.

"Shoto let me explain-" I cut him off and said "Why should I listen? When you didn't even listen to me?" I say whille crying. I felt more betrayed than ever. He was taken aback. He was faking being hurt but I knew his blood was boiling. His flames were hiding in his back. Rei pat my back to comfort me and he leaved. I cried again.

"Mom why is he always like that? He always hurt me, then pretend he's hurt when you're around" I say. "How did you know he's pretending?" She asked. "His flames... and also I saw him grit his teeth" I say honestly. She nodded then hugged me. "I'll never let him touch you" she said.

◇

I went home finally and mom drove us in her car and dad just went to his own car. Fuyumi was beside me at the back and she was hugging me. I hugged back and then she says "If dad ever do something again, tell me" she said. I nodded and she smiled at me.

But I never told them about the rest...I soon develop my quirk when I was being hit by father. I accidentally made an ice wall at him and burnt him at the same time. Instead of him being angry at me he was joyful. The look on his eyes....it seems as though he found a new toy to play with. Of course he was angry at mother when she poured boiling hot water on me when she was having a panick attack.
I am his new found toy to replace all might.

Masaru, my tutor ran out of things to teach me. I'm 8 now and he said that i can go to any course I want. He teached me too about art. Art was probably the most relaxing subject, it didn't involve much science and no math was there. It's just free space where you can do anything you want.
