How did Touya-nii get involved in drug dealing and stuff? Sorry if you have answered this before I was just wondering about his backstory a little more!! Has he always been a bad boy or was he a good studious kid who fell in with the wrong crowd??

oh my gosh anon thank you for asking this, this is such a FANTASTIC question oh my god!!!!!

so. in the touya-nii universe, rei + enji got divorced directly after touya’s ‘accident’ (burn scars, still not fully ready to reveal to u all how this happened BUT I WILL one day i promise. i have a special piece planned for it). touya was always a troubled child, though. like most of my iterations of dabi + my hc for canon dabi, he’s too smart for his own good, which means he gets bored VERY easily, which means he’s quick to get into trouble of some sort. as a child, he was overly emotional and had a really poor grasp on his emotional control—he frequently had outbursts of anger, sadness, and jealousy, throwing tantrums and breaking things etc. and he has always wanted things to be HIS way and his way only (quite a bit like his father, eh?). so, in a way, he’s always been a lil bad boy or a lil troublemaker. a lot of this stems from childhood trauma.

however, when rei left and took him with her, they struggled financially, even with enji’s support. he hated seeing her struggling, picking up extra shifts and just generally being so worn out and fatigued. it’s his fault, he’s sure of it, and she already does so much for him, already took him away from that monster; she is the only one who truly loves him, and he wants to help. immediately.

so he starts dealing, at the age of about 14/15 (he meets tomura, and begins dealing for his father’s gang). touya’s nothing if not ambitious, and his intelligence paired with how cunning, manipulative and sly he can be is a huge plus. he moves up the ranks of the gang very quickly, and he’s good, great, incredible at his job.

once he gets a taste of it though, all that money, that excitement and exhilaration, that pure unadulterated power, he doesn’t want to quit. why would he, when he’s the best at it? (not to mention that touya absolutely uses these activities as an (extremely unhealthy) emotional outlet LMAO. it doesn’t do too much, but it helps at least a lil!)

but that’s basically how he started!! because he wanted to help out his momma 🥺 and we all know he’s a massive momma’s boy <3
