dekusbrokenarms:Tenko watched as Ms. Inko gently rocks Izuku, red eyes filled with wonder at just how small the baby looks in his adoptive mother’s arms. Kind green eyes meet his and he quickly looks away. “Do you want to hold him, Tenko?” Ms. Inko asks, her voice soft. She reminds him of his mom and that thought has him looking down. A deep shame spreads a flush across his face. He shakes his head. “I don’t want to hurt him.”A heavy silence falls between them and Tenko feels tears swelling in his eyes until he feels a hand on the top of his head brushing his hair from his face.“I know you would never hurt Izuku,” she tells him with all the conviction in the world. She knows what he did to his family. How could she be so sure he wouldn’t do it again? He marveled at her blind trust. He sniffled and wiped the tears from his eyes.She reaches out, gently taking his gloved hand and squeezing it softly. “See. Your gloves keep you safe. It’s okay to be scared, but when you’re ready, it’s okay to want to hold and be held by the ones you love.”Tenko sniffles again and nods. His gloves keep him safe. It was a weird way for her to say it, he thought. The gloves kept everyone else safe from him. That’s what his adoptive father said. He was made to destroy and no one else would understand that. Did Ms. Inko even understand just how destructive he could be? Or does she really just trust him as much as she says she does?“I’d like to hold Izu-chan, if that’s okay?” Tenko requested, voice quiet and hesitant. Ms. Inko smiles at him, and she shuffles Izuku in her arms. She coaches him through how to hold his head and support him, and he catches on quickly.Izuku is so small. Tenko can’t believe that a whole person could be so, so tiny. Ms. Inko’s told him before that Izuku will get big like he is one day. He wonders if Izuku will trust him like Ms. Inko or if their father will teach him to be afraid of him. He wonders if they’ll play games like he used to play with his sister. Will they be best friends? Or will Izuku hate him too?As he ponders this, he promises himself to do everything in his power to be good big brother. Even if he can’t be a hero like his grandma… maybe, just maybe, he can still be a hero like Ms. Inko.Someone in the tags on this post was asking for more of the AU in which Inko and DFO raise Tenko and Izuku as brothers so here you go. -- source link
