I really like the idea of pre-despair Kazuichi just hating Leon. Like basically builds a machine to teach him how to baseball so he could take Leon’s place as ultimate baseball star, he also asks Nekomaru to teach him but he says no when he hears why.
He also asks Chiaki if her “mysterious reserve course” friend enjoys baseball, because at this point he’ll take anyone over Leon Kuwata.
Leon in the other hand adores Kaz, he finds out they both dye their hair and never shuts up about it; they have so much in common that it basically plays out as:
Kaz: “No we couldn’t be friends, I don’t even like baseball”
Leon: “Me neither my dude!! I hate baseball!! I never even went to practice”
Kaz, in pure spite: “I love baseball”
I really just love the idea of Kaz being the bitter one who doesn’t want anything to do with Leon and Leon being a persistent little shit.
(Also the reason in this au, why Kaz hates him is because Leon reminds him of his bullies back in middle school + his friend that only wanted him around so he could cheat off his tests.)

So when souda was a kid he really wanted a pet be at a dog a cat a stray cow he wanted an animal to care for yet 2 major problems 1 kaz was a massive magnet for animals hatred fore some weird reason and 2 hes parents were pretty pore so no pet g or him until he once day randomly saw a very pregnant raccoon digging through the garbage kaz being the good kid he was thought well if I can't have a normal pet il just take care of his raccoon who is in need of lots of food and so he started to leave out extra leaftovers and water for is trash dog how soon got the name queen trash demon ( because hes 12 and the wired emo in his math class how's in charge of the class pet suggested it) he calls her queeni for short. Soon the two grow really close to the point its PREETY obvious that queeni has adopted kaz as one of her children and queeni is a good mom how follows souda to school constantly. Once queeni gives birth to here 2 baby's kaz is instly enamored stealing all the extra food and blankets he can get for his 2 extra pets how names ratchet and clank. Hes parents are yet unaware of there sons trash cat but until one day were kaz realised that he hadn't seen all queeni all day and ratchet and clank have clearly not been given atenchen since when he feed them the other night . kaz not knowing what to do hid ratchet and clank in side the garage whith food and blankets and pretended to Locke himself in bed a go to sleep were instead he snuck out a spent a good few hours looking for the mother raccoon until he found her dead at the side of the roud. Kaz being a stupid kid ran home with dead queeni in his arms. Lets just say this parents had a mix of emotions w him there son how should be in bed barge into the living room with a dead raccoon in his arms. That night kaz got grounded for life got told the meaning of death and due to some begging adopted 2 ,4 month old raccoon cubs. As time went on the 2 raccoons became staples of the family's auto shop and Due to living in an auto shop the raccoons over time thought themselves how to help out fetching needed tool and scamatics or making sure there owner remembers to take care of them selves. Obviously whene kaz got into hopes peak he took ratchet and clank with him and its thanks to this 2 raccoons that Gundume and souda became friends
( Note no one but Gundume knows about the raccoons so everyone is very confused about the growing soudam friendship thanks to raccoon shanagins )
