How was Izuku and Bakugo relationship during their childhood and teenhood?
Yes, I know this may sound a bit obvious, but hear me out. I’ve seen how Bakugo basically bullied Izuku and how he made sure no one stayed close enough to help him. But I want to understand how the whole situation developed from the beginning.
How did Izuku’s and Bakugo’s parents stop interacting with each other? How did Izuku become more and more ostracized until everyone started making fun of him? Did he try to make friends, only to be rejected harshly?
How did the teachers react to each situation? Did they blame Izuku, or did they simply ignore what was happening and occasionally make bitter comments about him themselves?
I’ve been wondering for months how their families stopped gathering.
Did they simply say, “We don’t want to hang out anymore,” without their mothers questioning why? If the they still met occasionally, was it just an uncomfortable situation where pretended to be friendly, only to return to normal the next day?
I’ve also heard theories claiming Bakugo harassed or mocked anyone who shared similarities with Izuku, trying to create negative feelings around him and basically preventing any chance of friendship. I don’t mean he spent every second watching who was being friendly to him, but he would never miss a chance to notice it if he happened to see it around school while he was hanging out with his friends.
What would a “normal day at school” for Izuku actually look like? How would it feel to constantly be the target? Did the other students do more than just mock him and cheer Bakugo on whenever they saw him picking on Izuku? (Probably not beating him, but using his quirk to destroy his things and pull pranks on him)
I know I’m asking a lot of questions, but I’m trying to write a story, and I don’t want to portray Bakugo either as someone who would have killed Izuku if it weren’t illegal or as just a clueless guy who doesn’t realize he’s a bully.
