Falling like the snow :: [Todoroki's Twin brother]

Chapter 1

*Shimo POV - Introduction to his life*

I was never loved by dad.. Or mum.. Or Fuyumi.. Or Natsuo.. 

Shoto and Touya loved me, but Shoto always pretended to not when around dad and mum..

 Natsuo and Fuyumi always had friends come round, but I never met them.. I was forced into my room and told not to make any noise. I was an embarrassment to them. 

They didn't even try to hide it from me. 

I shared a room with Shoto and Natsuo as Fuyumi and Touya had their own rooms as they were the oldest. They had so many books and toys and everything that they wanted. 

Me.. I had a blanket and two small bears Touya found for me to play with.

Touya: "A white and blue one for me and a white and grey one for you!"

I hugged them every day when I went to bed and kept them in my pockets when I walked around the house or in the garden. Touya always accompanied me in the garden, one reason as dad wanted him to keep an eye on me and anoughter as he didn't want me to be alone. 

I love them all. I really do.. 

Just some of them don't seem to return it...

*Shimo POV - Present*

Father: "You useless child! Can't you do anything right!"

I whimpered slightly, my back to the wall. I didn't mean to knock the vase over, I really hadn't. Shoto pushed past me, making me fall into it. It broke as I landed on it, and little shards of it stuck in my hands, making them bleed.

Father: "I don't know why we kept you! We should have thrown you out! You're a disgrace to this family!"

He reached out a hand and slapped me across the face. It stung, and I stumbled sideways falling onto my knees. I clutched my hurting hands to my chest waiting for anoughter blow. I saw his hand coming towards me again but as it was about to hit me I saw Touya dash infront of me, dad's hand colliding with the back of his head.

Touya: "S- stop it!"

Father: "Get out of the way Touya.."

His tone was low and shallow, a hint of anger flicking the edges.

Touya: "No! Not until you stop hurting Shimo!"

I stood up and hurried to Touya, tugging at his t-shirt, trying to get him out of harms way.

Father: "Touya stop being a fool! You know as well as I that he is a useless brat!"

Touya: "So what! He is your son and my brother, why should I treat him like a savage beast when he is innocent and harmless!"

Touyas voice was getting louder and louder, attracting the attention of Shoto and Fuyumi, who both ran into the room a worried expression on their faces.

Fuyumi: "Touya what are you doing?! Stop shouting at Dad!" 

Fuyumi spoke loudly, over the shouting, Shoto hugging her leg as he hid behind it.

Touya: "Not until he learns to love Shimo! He is family!"

Father: "Give it a rest Touya! I don't care about him, and he doesn't care for us! It is pointless trying to get him to as she never will!"

Touya: "That's not true! He loves us all! I can tell she does!"

Touya was crying now, trying to defend me from dad, but still petrified.
