In this post I will talk about some imagine I have in my head for a while. The AU is about if Leo was born premature and he's body somehow can't handle his own magic so you know like a certain someone like Touya Todoroki. So what happen to him in this AU well other than that I will kinda mix some mad scientist and bad grandparents with dead parents stuff in this AU so let's get started
The first time Leo use his magic he was with Fue in the training room visiting him training, he suddenly activated by copying Fue. Fue suddenly smiled proudly at Leo until suddenly Leo stopped using it and in place was a burned arm and smoke
Fue rush Leo to the medical department where they diagnosed his condition
Fue still love Leo and didn't mind of it but their grandparents didn't they thought of Leo as the biggest failure and mistake of the family
Fue would started to get busy being captain and head of the house and can't keep Leo company all the time so he gave Leo to his grandparents not knowing what would happen
Leo would be severely trained that it could count as abuse and they manipulated him that the reason Fue wouldn't see him because of him being weak
Leo at first didn't believe but after days of not seeing his brother he believes it and that was where it started to lit a flame in Leo to surpass them so that he would notice him and spend time with them like the old days
Leo started to train outside of training time at night when no one would see him and there wounds would appear at his arms
Kirsch notice it and start asking Leo who just ignores him because he doesn't want him to find out about it
Fue who had just arrived home from the mission and was tattled by Kirsch and immediately went to see Leo. When he was there and greeted by Leo he noticed Leo's arms. He started scolding Leo for using his magic outside of training and told him instead to do something else like playing with Mimosa and Noelle or better sleeping but other than training alone (In this AU Fue is kinda strict with Leo since he knows that Leo would not heal them at all after since there was no recovery mage outside of training time and would overworked himself)
Leo who was caught and scolded thought that his brother still saw him as weak when he saw his wound just took the scolding quietly but he still train except he would hide it underneath his clothes
No one knew Leo still continued training until it was discovered by Mimosa
Leo, Mimosa and Noelle are very close in this AU and they always plays together
Mimosa noticed Leo when playing he was in some sort pain since he fell when he played kick ball but she has a feeling that it's because something other than the fall
Mimosa hears footsteps at night when she was about to sleep for the night, she was scared but open the door only to see Leo at the hall since she was curious she decided to follow Leo
That's when she saw Leo training at the forest near the estate
She didn't know what to react since Leo was busy training to notice her that was when she saw smiling and always in tears and started to move closer to see Leo flames evolves to blue
Leo not noticing Mimosa said "I understand now my flames evolves when i felt high emotions...with these flames I can be noticed and prove I'm not a failure at all..please don't cry..why do I always cry because of pain even when I'm used to it"
She suddenly when back home and sleeps for the night to tell her cousin Fue about it tomorrow
The next day there was a party where royals and some selected nobles gathered around, Leo knowing hes brothers going to be there would comforted him there.
Let's just say Mereo was there as a coincidence and was forced to go to the party 😔
Since the party was morning till night, Leo can't train at all it kept him busy
Leo heard alot of gossips about him being the failure and the family biggest mistake
Mereo would comforted the people by snarling at them loudly and demand to repeat that statement in front of her
Fue would not snarled but told them they could leave if there going to talk bad about his brother
When Leo went to Fue, he accidentally tripped on a noble and after apologizing his grandmother went to him with a furious look at her eyes
Mereo and Fue noticed and moved closer to Leo with Fue holding a comforting arm at Leo
The Grandmother asked Leo to come with her, Mereo would have spoke first if not for Leo to agreed first to her
Mereo and Fue would have a bad feeling but was waved by Leo saying its okay
Grandma Vermilion and Leo would go to a private part of the estate and told Leo that he was the biggest failure and mistake and that it was ashamed that his parents died because of him
Leo outside looks shock but inside he was in despair and that was when all his negative thoughts and insecurities of himself flooded him then he would run away outside to his secret training forest
There Leo cried to himself while being despair and suddenly his thoughts when to his parents and that must be the reason Fue would not want him around and why Mereo leave the estate that's when he's control snapped
Leo who didn't notice he was crying flames until the suddenly exploded and he was on fire 🔥 since the fire was growing stronger everytime he trained it spread fast and it immediately turn everything it touches turn to ashes
The fire then spread everywhere at the forest and the people at the party noticed with Mereo and Fue being first and was already running knowing that Leo was on fire but it was too late the place was razed to the ground with nothing left of it including Leo himself
Leo was then declare officially dead and his siblings wouldn't believe it
That's when Mimosa told everyone about that Leo was training in secret and Fue ask why she didn't told him she replied she thought that she could told him about it after the party but you know that didn't happen
Mereo would question their grandparents because of the feeling that they were involved that is when all hell broke loose when the story was told
Mereo was pissed and burn down couple of estate belonging to their grandparents especially but she spared anything belonging to Leo
Fue would blame himself since the reason that Leo was killed because the fact he didn't check of him and knowing Leo's flame was very big and extremely hot because the extra training he'd did so that he would notice him killed him inside especially when they told Leo was told he killed their parents
Mimosa would be scared by the accident and she would train extremely hard so that no one would died like Leo did
Kirsch would also blame himself since he was supposed to watch Leo while Fue was busy also the reason he act like what he did in canon
Nozel would grieve for Fue since he also knows Leo's since he was infant and because of the incident he would not be as bad as canon after knowing what it could affect someone and be more protective of Noelle
Noelle would blame herself since Leo always come to her for ranting about the things he was told but she would dismissed it because she herself doesn't like to be reminded of it but she didn't know it would turn to this If she had known she could've stop Leo for training
The day Leo was burned down was called Forest of Flames
And that's it for now. I would probably update later on part 2 of Leo in the Lab.
