Enji's POV:

Yelling. Fighting. Thats what me and my wife mostly did, now we are doing the exact same thing.

Enji: I AM NOT LETTING YOU TAKE SHOTO YOU DAMN WOMAN

*SLAP*

...My cheek suddenly stung and eyes wide since that caught me off gaurd.

Rei: THIS IS WHY IM TAKING THE KIDS SHOTO THIS. SHOTO THAT! YOU DONT EVEN CARE ABOUT HIM! YOU JUST CARE ABOUT HIS QUIRK! IM TAKING ALL MY KIDS WITH ME AWAY FROM YOU AND THATS FINAL!

Anger risingin my blood i subconsiously choke her.

Enji: THIS ISNT FOR YOU TO JUST DECIDE WOMAN!

Rei: OR WHAT?! YOU'LL USE YOUR HERO STATUS TO GET ME IN MENTAL?! HAH GO AHEAD ILL FIGHT FOR MY BABIES TILL MY LAST BREATHE! GOODBYE MR TODOROKI AND GOOD RIDANCE!

And with that she left taking all the kids including Shoto with her, with anger and hatred within me a began thrashing the house.

Izuku's POV:

Yelling. Fighting. Thats what i mostly hear at a daily basis, Hi im Izuku Midoriya im 4, ever since da-father found out i was quirkless him and mother has faught night and day, you'd think because they were fighting atleast one of them cared about me, but sadly that isnt the case, mother only wants me for my intellegence

Inko: WE ARE NOT GETTING RID OF ME HISASHI!

Hisashi: I AM NOT ACCEPTING A QUIRKLESS FREAK AS MY SON!

Inko: HE IS HERE TO STAY

Hisashi: not if have anything to say about it

And with that father went down to my room, well to normal kids its called a basement but to me its my room, i saw father packing my thing "he has gotten tired of a useless being like me" the thought raced through my head it made me wonder where he would send me.

Pulling my arm very harshly father threw me into the car locking the doors and window ignoring mother's yells in anger.

Izuku: Father permission to speak?

Hisashi: what is it you damn mistake of a child

Izuku: may i ask where you are bringing me

He cackled rather loudly and very rude.

Hisashi: its a good ridance for you mistake. Your out of the house now be grateful im kind enough to bring you into an orphanage and not had just left you in the streets

He smirked evilly at his sentence, normal kids would sob at such words, yet im used to it this was how father communicated to me when he found out i was quirkless

In this "society" being quirkless meant you are useless, a waste of space, trash if you may, but atleast trash can still sometimes be useful, me? Im just a total mistake

Nodding my head i keep it low staying silent the whole ride not wanting to upset father more and get myself left at the side of the road alone to fend for myself

Arriving at the orphanage my father registered me, at first the care takers were nice but when father mentioned i was quirkless their attitude changed quicker than how ice cream melts above flames
...
Flames
...
Those always seemed to calm me, gave me a scence of safety, i wonder why?

Enji's POV:

Alone. Thats what i currently am, a pathetic shell of my former self, why was i so ignorant about how they felt, now ive paid the price.

Tears spilling my eyes i went on ahead to bed.

A whole month has passed since Rei took the kids, how ive missed them how ive missed the melody of children's laughter, always so cheerful, so energectic.

It makes me wonder had i been a good father, would they have loved me? Or would i still be a monster to them

Wollowing in my own sadness o contact the hero commission, the phone rings for a minute or so as they pick up

(R/N): Hello? Endeavor-san?

Endeavor: Yes this is the hero commission am i correct?

(R/N): Yes sir, how may we assist you

Endeavor:i would like to request a leave, just for 2 months

(R/N): i see ok not a problem but please keep in mind tho you are in leave if there were to be major emergancies you will be reporting to us

Endeavor: Yes ofcourse thank you

(R/N): not a problem, thank you amd goodbye

Hanging up the phone i stood and started cleaning up the house as i trashed it a month ago and barely bothered to clean up.

Dusting up the shelf i noticed a something between a book's pages, a flier? For adoption?
...
Adoption?
...
That sounds...surprisingly good to me right now, ive been feeling lonely ever since Rei and the kids left, maybe i should adopt a child, start a new and be a good father for once

Considering the idea i finished cleaning the house, bathe and got dressed to check out the adoption center.

Arriving at the place i step out of my car and immidietly notice plenty of children playing around, reminds me so much of how Natsou and Fuyumi played with their friends.

Entering the building i notice one boy isolated from the others, soon being greeted by a lady

Lady: hello how may we help you?

Enji: i would like to adopt a child, i already have the files needed with me

I actually filled on adoption approval files a month ago just incase Shoto failed to be my successor, now im using it for a completely diffrent region.

Lady:ofcourse the children are this way

As she led me somewhere we passed by the boy and she didnt spare him a glance

Enji: Excuse me, the boy over there?

Lady: oh him? You wouldnt like him...he's quirkless

Hearing the boy was quirkless intrigued me, i put my self to a hault and went towards the boy, he notices me and slightly jolts and lowers his head trembling.

Enji: whats your name boy?

Izuku: I-izuku

Enji: Izuku...well

I sat next to the boy as he flinches slightly

Enji: Izuku thats a unique name, how old are you Izuku?

Izuku: Four

Enji: 4? Thats young of you, wheres your parents?

Izuku: Mommy and Daddy didnt want me cuz im quirkless...they left me here alone.

Izuku: they....gave up on me
