Forced Manipulation

Chapter Sixty

"Oh, hello Mitsuki! Hello Jason!" Hank exclaimed in surprise as he saw his son and daughter-in-law enter through the door, suitcases in tow. Why were they home so early? If he could remember correctly, they should still be in America for another six days! "You two are home early!"

"Yeah, there was a change of plans, we had to come home early." Jason huffed as he set the large suitcase in front of him. "I hope you two had fun, but you can leave now. Katsuki, can you take our bags upstairs?"

Katsuki closed his eyes as he stood up from his seat, desperately trying not to start sobbing on the spot. He was so close to being free, only for it to be ripped away from his grasp. He failed to get free once again.

Maybe... Maybe he didn't deserve to be free.

After all, he did cause a ton of torment to his classmates and the people who considered him a friend. Hell, he even told Izuku to kill himself! He deserved all of this pain and trauma that Jason gave him. He didn't deserve to be happy, not after everything he did. God, why couldn't he be a good kid? If it wasn't for his anger, Jason wouldn't have to punish him.

"Hey! Are you fucking listening?!" Jason barked, causing Katsuki to flinch. "I said take the bags up like a good child, you little shit!"

"Hey, don't talk to Katsuki like that, Jason!" Hank intervened. "Why don't you take the bags up yourself, instead of forcing Katsuki to?"

"Don't even intervene with how I handle Katsuki, dad," Jason snarled. "You don't have to put up with him on a daily basis. So, you don't get to tell us how to parent."

"Whatever, I'm sorry that I'm trying to look out for Katsuki."

"Whatever," Jason grumbled as he pulled the suitcase behind him and trudged up the stairs.

"Say, Mitsuki, can you and I have a word, alone, please?" Hank asked as he glanced over to the older ash blonde.

"Sure!" She smiled. "Go to your room, Katsuki!" She waved the ash-blonde off. Katsuki didn't have to be told twice for him to get the point. Mitsuki smiled as she sat down on a chair, her arms resting against the table as she looked towards Hank. "What did you want to talk about?"

"Well, I wanted to talk to you about your son." Hank huffed slightly.

"Oh god, what did he do now?! Did he cause you any trouble?! God, if he did, I'm going to kill him!"

"No, he didn't. He was behaving well throughout the day, actually. I need to talk to you about something I discovered." Hank stated. "Your son told me something that I thought you should know."

Mitsuki raised an eyebrow.

"He told me that he was sexually assaulted, and I want to know if you knew," Hank said as he glanced around nervously, for he didn't want to start another fight between them.

"Geez, he told you that lie?!" Mitsuki groaned as she rubbed her temples with her fingers. "No, he wasn't sexually assaulted. That's just a lie that he's come up with so that he could get attention! He told me the same story at my wedding! Can you believe that?! He actually tried to make it about him! He wouldn't even tell me who did it!" Mitsuki lied, for she knew that Katsuki told her about who had done this to him, but she didn't want Hank to get the wrong idea and ruin everything. "I'm sorry that he told you such a lie, but you don't have to worry about it! I'll deal with him myself!"
