Izuku and Katsuki have always been close since they were just little boys, although it seemed to be like that only in the presence of there mothers. Outside of the households, both were always at each other's throats, or at least Katsuki was. Insults, threats, abuse, all handed to the one he called a friend just because he was "Quirkless". Even though treated badly, a peep never came out of Izuku because the one thing he cared about was his Mother and he just couldn't ruin her friendship with his Aunt. Now don't be mistaken the boys aren't related to each other at all, though their mothers have been close since middle school so out of respect Izuku calls the young Bakugou's mother "Aunt". Nevertheless, Izuku isn't good as he seems either, constant abuse reflects on one's personality so one shouldn't be shocked by various actions he can make. Even so...he just endures it constantly. Until one day he has a change of mind...
