Forced Manipulation

Chapter Fourteen

"Mom! Dad!" Mitsuki called out to her parents as they walked up to the door. "You're finally here! How was the drive here?"

"Hello, darling!" Her mother called back, feebly walking towards her daughter. "The drive up here was fine, it's been so long since we talked! You've grown so much! How is my grandson doing?"

"Oh, Katsuki is fine!" Mitsuki smiled as she rushed to her mom, giving her a tight embrace. "How's dad doing?"

"Oh, he's still the same stubborn old bastard that he was when you were in high school!" She snickered.

"I heard that!" Mitsuki's father shouted as he hobbled his way towards his wife and daughter, his cane clicking on the pavement. "I may be seventy-two but I can still hear you, Uma!" He stopped himself, looking towards his daughter, a large smile on his face. How's my darling princess doing?"

"I'm doing well!" Mitsuki smiled as she hugged her father. "You guys need help with your bags?"

"Oh, that would be lovely!" Uma smiled. "Hajime and I didn't pack much, but it's all so heavy nowadays!"

"That's no problem! I can get Katsuki to do it, let me go get him!" Mitsuki grinned, before rushing back inside. "KATSUKI!"

Katsuki, who had been sitting on the couch, flinched at his mother's sudden yelling.

"Y-Yes ma'am?" He hesitantly asked, fearful of upsetting his mother.

"Your grandmother and grandfather are here, now go greet them and help them with their bags!" She demanded, pointing towards the door.

Katsuki nodded quickly, rising from his place on the couch and out the door. However, before he could open the door, he felt his mom grab the back of his shirt, yanking him towards her. He cowered slightly, expecting his mom to slap him across the face, even though he was doing as told. To his surprise, the slap never came. Instead, she brought him into a hug, her arms tightly wrapped around Katsuki's back. His eyes widened slightly at the sudden affection. His mother never hugged him! Usually, it was his father to hug him or show affection to him, while his mother usually scolded him for his attitude! Hell, the last time his mom gave him affection was when she told him she and his dad were going to be divorced. However, it felt like Katsuki had to pull teeth for his mother to tell him that she loved him! So, why was she hugging him? It took everything in his body not to start trembling, the fact that someone put their hands on him without his consent made the ash-blonde very uncomfortable, the nonconsensual touching reminded the ash-blonde of the incident. However, he knew that he couldn't push Mitsuki away from him, as he would be disobeying her.

He raked his mind desperately, trying to come up with some sort of answer to satisfy himself. However, his mother stopped him by planting a kiss on his forehead.

"Be happy when they see you, Katsuki, they haven't seen you in over a year, they don't want to see their grandson being sad!" She smirked. "Got it?"

Katsuki nodded quickly, not daring to oppose her. He quickly forced a smile, which made Mitsuki's smile grow wider.

"That's the spirit! Now then, go greet them! You don't want to keep them waiting, do you?"

Katsuki shook his head, before scampering out the door.

"Katsuki!" Uma exclaimed, raising her arms to hug Katsuki as soon as her grandson came into her sight. "How is my grandson doing?"

"I'm all right, Grandma," He quietly said, looking towards the older woman. "How are you and Grandpa doing? Did you guys get here all right?"

"Oh, we're quite all right, son!" Hajime said, interjecting himself between Uma's and Katsuki's conversation. "It's been so long since we've seen you! Come hug me!"

Katsuki shakily sighed, before hugging his Grandfather. He softly whimpered at the feeling of his arms being restricted, as if he was being constricted by a boa constrictor, the feeling that no matter what he could do, he would never be able to fight back rushed through his body. He wanted to fire off an explosion, but when he tried to, it didn't work! That couldn't be, Jason released his quirk! Or at least he thought he did! Katsuki's breathing quickly increased, as his grip got tighter against Hajime's back. If he had no quirk, that meant he couldn't get into U.A as a hero! Even if he tried getting into the general education section, they'd most likely decline him! After all, they wouldn't want a disgusting, dirty, and useless queer to roam their halls. Finally, after what seemed like hours, Hajime released Katsuki from his vice grip, a large smile on his face, completely unaware of how uncomfortable his grandson was.

"We don't have much in the car, you can handle it right?" He asked.

Katsuki nodded.

"Of course, sir," Katsuki said. "I'll see you two inside."

Hajime and Uma smiled and nodded before heading inside the house. Katsuki sighed as his shoulders slumped. It pained him to sit there and bottle up all of his feelings, the feeling of self-loathing, dirtiness, and anger for himself rumbled deep inside of his body. He wished that someone, anyone would see through the fake mask he is forced to wear and help him, even if he didn't deserve it. Come to think of it, there was someone that could help him! He still had the card the kind officer gave him the night he found his father! Maybe he could call him! After all, he could protect him from Jason! Then he would never have to see him again! But he couldn't do it now, otherwise, Jason would know that it was Katsuki who called, and god knows what Jason would do to him when the officer leaves. He grabbed both of the suitcases from the trunk, groaning slightly at the weight of them.

Gosh... what did they do, pack fucking weights in here?! He thought as he lugged the suitcases.

And with that, Katsuki forced a smile on his face, the mask he dreaded wearing forced back onto his face. All he could do was smile and be a good child, all while his anger built up inside of him.
