During breaks and even during class, too, they acted as if I wasn't there at all. It never became an issue though. I just accepted it. And that's how I spent the rest of elementary school. It was my own fault, after all. I was a bully. I was the bad guy. And I got what I deserved."''

->As All Might led him to the officers, young Bakugou was utterly compliant. Finally, the boy worked up enough nerve to say, “Look, you don’t owe a shitty villain anything, but… I could tell you didn’t like me from the moment I first stepped into your classroom… and I wanna know why.\\
All Might was silent for some time. Finally, he said, “Once, there was a Quirkless boy who wanted to be a hero. He was constantly mocked and derided for his dream, but he didn’t care, because all he ever wanted to do was save people. To be someone that people on the street would see and know that everything was going to be okay. Once, in middle school, he got caught up in a villain attack. Many people derided him for interfering, powerless as he was. But there was one hero who saw potential in that boy. Saw that he had a power brimming beneath the surface. And so, the boy became the hero’s apprentice. He worked hard, unlocked his Quirk, and managed to defy everyone who mocked him by earning the record on the U.A. entrance exam.”\\
Bakugou didn’t even have the energy to scowl. “So it’s all because of Deku. Midoriya, I mean.”\\
“It is,” All Might said. “But you misunderstand me. In that story, I wasn’t the hero. I was the Quirkless boy. That is the story of how I met my own mentor. That is why young Midoriya means so much to me. That is why someone who would torment a Quirkless person infuriates me.\\
And at that, Bakugou stopped short.\\
All Might grew up thinking he was Quirkless? All Might grew up being told not to be a hero?\\
All Might was once a deku?\\
Someone like Deku ''could'' grow up to be someone like All Might. If Bakugou and All Might were kids at the same time, he would have treated his hero the same way he treated Deku. He’d tried to perfectly craft his backstory to be the number one hero, but All Might’s backstory was the same as Deku’s. He just never told anyone.\\
Bakugou always thought Deku was just an extra in his own story, unimportant except maybe as a minor villain who always looked down on him as a kid… but Deku was like All Might. Deku’s story was as important as Bakugou’s. Maybe more. And, if the story was told from Deku’s point of view, then he… then he...\\
And it finally, FINALLY dawned on Bakugou that Nezu was right. He really ''was'' a villain.
