Todoroki Family Ficlets
Summary:
Maybe, just maybe, Fuyumi hated her mother as much as she loathed her father.
Notes: After months of not writing shit, I am back with some Todoroki fam shenanigans. Aka me dumping all my trauma onto them lmao. Do not expect much, this will not be in chronological order, it is an AU where pretty much everything is the same only that Enji is a politician (from a family of conservative politicians ala Bush family) and Touya never left.
English is not my mother tongue, I have no beta and I did not proofread this either. Enjoy

To everyone’s eyes, even those who saw what went on behind the curtains with the Todoroki Family, Fuyumi was the perfect daughter.
She wasn’t rebellious, seizing every opportunity to diss their father and to taint the family’s name like Touya. She wasn’t always bitter like Natsuo and wasn’t detached and isolated from everything in life, like Shoto.
Since she was a small child, she never talked back. She helped at the house, did her chores on time, got along with all her siblings, even Touya. She treated both her mother and father with respect. Fuyumi knew how to play the part.
As an adult, she still lived the life her father wanted, only dated the people he approved of, studied what he wanted her to study, dressed the way he considered acceptable, Fuyumi did all in her power to help her brothers and was a mediator between them and their father. She always kept her head cold, never losing her temper. No matter how rough matters were at her home, she always behaved.
But deep down Fuyumi despised her parents, yes her parents, her mom was included there too. She despised her mom because she allowed all to happen, she could’ve put a stop to it, she could’ve said no to the arranged marriage, she could’ve avoided having babies after Touya was born but she continued popping kids out for her abuser and because of her, she and her brothers had to endure that hell while she spends her days in a psychiatric hospital that is better than most 5 stars hotel. Because Rei Touya and Shoto were permanently scarred, both physically and psychologically.
Because Rei, oh the fragile Rei, the one that doesn’t have to listen to her dad anymore, she doesn’t have to care about the wellbeing of Touya; she doesn’t have to go to dinners, parties, rallies and pretend that they are the ideal family.
Because of her mom, she had to take the role of caretaker and couldn’t have a normal childhood. She couldn’t be just a regular teen worried about dates, proms, boyfriends. Instead, she had to worry about the health of Shoto, the feelings of Natsuo, Touya escaping from their house, doing drugs.
Out of all her brothers, she was the only one that still visited her mother every week. She brought her flowers, snacks, pictures, walked with her in the facility’s garden, talked to her about her life. But she did it out of duty, because she felt she had to. So the few times her mom cried during one of her visits, she just wanted to yell at her, tell her she had no right to feel bad or complain when she has spent years living peacefully, when she abandoned them, when she tried to kill her brothers and herself. When she left them.
Fuyumi hated her mother too, perhaps even more than she loathed her father.
