Frozen Heart

Frozen Tears

Chapter 2

The smell of antiseptic recycled air is what Izuku wakes up to. As he opens his eyes he's greeted by the white ceiling of a hospital, his silver eyes move slow and methodically around his surroundings.

The fist thing he realizes is the feeling of heavy bandages constricting his arms and chest. Even for the 5 year old boy the hospital bed is still quite large for him. Looking down at his bandages he remembers they way that his flesh and skin separated, the way his skin became discolored with a cherry red with frost burns.

He assumes the reason his arms doesn't hurt and in general still work is the work from a healing quirk of some kind. "So I had a quirk awakening.. I thought I would have a fire quirk. Oh well one more thing to separate me from that Bastard"

The child groans as he maneuvers into a sitting position, in all honesty with all that sleep he still feels exhausted mentally and physically.
The sound of the heart beat monitor and the dripping of the IV gets tuned out as the white haired child starts to theorize what his quirk is and what it can do.

Obviously it's a ice quirk but unlike his older brother Natsuo and his older sister Fuyumi as well as his own mother they can only control the ice around them, but he didn't have enough ice or water around him to counter his father's flames like he did.
So does that mean that he can generate ice naturally? Or-
Izuku gets knocked out of his trance by the soft embrace of his mother's arms around him.
"Right.. mom, she was near the blast.." He goes to speak but ultimately can only croak out unintelligible groans before he starts coughing.

"Shh sh it's alright I'm here, gave us quite the scare there Izuku, the doctors did say you do have stressed vocal cords from screaming and your quirk.." all he can do is blink at her for a moment before-"w..what's a..a vo-cal cord?" He asks with a raspy voice

"Ah.. right it's the muscles in your throat that lets you speak and helps your throat with other things, don't worry it'll heal on its own.
It's just they've taken some.. damage from your quirk awakening"

Izuku just nods at her words and looks back down to his bandages.
Rei gives a pitying glance toward her sons arms
"The doctors had to do a lot to heal your arms Izuku.. they're fine now but they'll scar. It seems you inherited your.. father's resistance to fire instead of my weakness to it, but it seems your genes mutated the weakness to ice instead.."

He snaps his head toward that last bit.
"Ice? My weakness is.. my own quirk?! What the hell.."
"Well it seems you and Touya finally have something in common at least" she cracks a small smile trying to alleviate the situation.

"Y-yea I suppose, but I don't think having opposite weaknesses and opposite quirks would help having something to talk about"
Touya has always been too expressive and energetic for his taste to actually want to actively talk to him. Same with Natsuo he's more subdued but still expressive too much for his liking. And Fuyumi is always too busy to talk to.

His mother give a small chuckle "it's been a while since he last heard her laugh.." he gives his own small smile.

                                   \^~^/

A few weeks go by after the event.
His father absolutely despises him now compared to his subdued distaste and annoyance from before.
He's been restricted from going anywhere near the dojo and also Shouto.
Each and every time he hears his twin's cries and yells always rattles him from a trance or when he's reading a book, every time he tries to run to help but either Natsuo or his own mother would hold him back.

But without his mother's or that man's permission he would sneak outside to train his quirk.
He only started after the bandages have been removed and god that was a sight,
His arms were indeed scarred but not the way he expected. Instead of his own skin color they're a permanent freezer burn color, even the texture is rough and almost scaly from how damaged skin is.
