I was originally gonna make this longer but I lost motivation half way through because it’s midnight.
AU EXPLANATION:
I like the idea that Pregame Kaito and Kokichi are friends (or more than that). Basically, in this AU Kaito and Kokichi are both social outcasts for two very different reasons. Kokichi is a social outcast because he became a victim of bullying, so nobody wanted to befriend him in fear of being bullied as well. Kaito, on the other hand, is a social outcast because of his violent tendencies. He has a bad reputation for getting into fights because of his short temper so people avoid him out of fear.
NO, IT IS NOT AN ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIP!
They became friends for a few reasons:
1) Kokichi, despite his timid and shy nature, doesn’t actually fear Kaito nearly as much as everyone else does. This is because of his trauma with bullying, where he now views everyone as a potential threat, so even if someone is a violent person, he doesn’t view them very differently because he’s so used to violent people.
2) Kokichi can tell when someone is getting violent by their body language, so he knows when to back off. This is one of the things that Kaito dislikes about most people. He finds people annoying and can’t seem to stop himself from getting violent when he’s angry.
3) Kaito’s reputation makes people fear to bully Kokichi in fear of Kaito coming after them.
4) Kokichi can always seem to calm Kaito down, making him less of a threat to others and himself. Kaito actually likes this because he can’t stop himself when he’s angry, so if someone is there to stop him he does less rash things and causes less trouble.
