The Other Side || TodoDeku || On Hold

Chapter 1

Todoroki POV:

"Shoto!" I hear my father call, and I groan.

"What?" I call back, climbing out of my bed. My brother, Natsuo, looks up from his desk to glare at me. 

"Come down here," I roll my eyes, and Natsuo shrugs in sympathy.

"Nothing I can do," he says, and I offer him a rude hand gesture in response. I hear his laugh and my shoulders relax. It doesn't last long as I find my father sitting at a table surrounded by officials. 

"Yes, father," I say lowering my head to the surrounding members at our table. 

"Your sister needs help in the kitchen," I nod, before briskly heading towards the kitchen. I didn't mind the small cottage in the woods, but my father hated it so he was more irritable than usual.  

Fuyumi was standing with her back to me as I came in, but I could see her body trembling. I make my way behind her, and watch as she slices the vegetables. 

"Father told me you needed me in here," 

Her head jerks up at my words her white hair clinging to her tear soaked face. She takes one look at me before breaking down, and sobbing. I rush forward and take the knife before she collapses into my arms. Her head falls into the crook between my shoulder, and neck.  We stand there in silence as I rub my hand down the fabric of her dress.  She pulls away slowly and my hands linger as she wipes her face off.

"Gods, I shouldn't be falling onto my little brother," she ruffles my hair. I offer a weak smile to her words.

"I need you to take Frost out and hunt," she says gesturing to the empty pantry. I slip out of the kitchen and take a different hall to get upstairs. 

Natsuo still waits by his desk when I come into our shared room. I just walk past him and grab my bow from where it hangs, along with a quiver of white tailed arrows that leans against the wall. 

"Can you go help Fuyumi in the kitchen?" I ask looking over at him, trying to express that she needed him more than she needed me. He nods and we walk out of the room. 

Fuyumi and Natsuo, they were only a couple of years apart. My parents had four kids me, Natsuo, Fuyumi, and Toya. Toya had died years ago, and at any mention of him my father would become furious. Fuyumi and Natsuo were next, and still weren't the legacy my father wanted. Fuyumi because she was a girl, and Natsuo because of his likeness to my mother. Though both of them took more after her, than my old man. Lastly, they had me. Shoto Todoroki, the heir to King Endeavor. That wasn't even his name, but after he had earned the title nobody could use anything else to address him. Letters, announcements, even international deals all use Endeavor as his name.

I throw the door open and make my way the pasture where my horse, Frost, was tacked and waiting.

How's the intro chapter? It will be Todoroki's POV for a while... I'm thinking 5 chapters, but that might change. In this AU there is no U.A. or quirks. Though we will most likely be seeing a lot of the characters around.
