Itty Bitty Headcanons

We've talked about it some in our re-reads, so Little Boy Bitty has kind of been on my mind lately. I mean, look at this boy:

What do you think it was like for him when he was little?

So here's this sweet, gay kid who loves to bake and figure skater and he's smack dab in the middle of the south with a football coach as a father. He's mentioned being locked in the closet overnight by the football team and how high school was such a nightmare. What were his formative experiences? Any romance and/or hookups at all? Friendships outside of that with his mother?

I wonder if the Bittles were church goers. Being a high school football coach can be part and parcel of being involved in the community in other ways, going to church chief among those. How difficult would that have been?

What I really want to know is his current relationship with his father. We don't know nearly as much about Coach and his relationship with Bitty as I'd like but he seems to think his dad is still embarrassed about the Peewee football incident. I wonder if that's indicative of Coach's overall view of Bitty and where he's at in life or how much of that is Bitty being an unreliable narrator?

Ugh, poor Little Bitty. Thank goodness things get so much better later!
