Kariage-kun - Blog Posts
The fact that I somehow missed this actual masterpiece is a crime and a damn shame and I cannot believe myself. Just?? The way you write them,,, absolute perfection. I don’t know how to describe it, but their interaction, their voices, their banter are all supremely immaculate and I’m in pure awe.
Just,,, Katsuki realizing that knowing someone for as long as he has Kari means they know your next move maybe even better than you do, Kari’s incessant teasing, them cuddling?? Bye, I am simply deceased, they are far too adorable for this world. Kari just opening his arms and baiting Katsuki into hugging him?? Perfection, I love it.
Katsuki not pulling away from Kari’s kisses because he craves affection is just,,, adorable. The whole thing with Kari being weaker than Katsuki but still holding him anyways 😭 please, Your Honor, they’re in love. And the part where Kari teases Katsuki about Deku is fantastic, especially the part where he insinuated Deku was salty he wasn’t the one dating Katsuki - that had me laughing so hard.
And the end?? Where Kari takes such pride in dating Katsuki to the point where he brags about it and the whole “I’d never, Katsuki”?? Please, I am deceased, he is just?? so in love with Katsuki and he’s proud of it and he’ll never deny Katsuki what he wants because he’s just?? so?? in love??
Once again, you slap me in the face with your amazing writing and characterizations and I am!! so!! grateful!! <33

“Let me guess…Midoriya?”
Katsuki throws his bag at Kariage, who catches the thing with a stupid-ass grin. That’s the annoying thing about living with and dating someone who’s known you since you were a middle schooler— they know you far, far too well to not predict your movements. He says, “Stop guessing my problems for the day, bastard.”
“But it’s such a fun game,” Kariage teases, setting aside his bag on the couch before opening his arms wide. “C’mon, tell me.”
“You seriously think I’m letting you hold me?”
“Are you saying you can’t take being held by me?”
Katsuki’s eye twitches at the obvious bait.

breathes heavily Oh my God, they are just?? so?? freaking adorable??
The way Katsuki lets Kariage get so close and the fact that Kari has his eyes on Katsuki in both pictures?? I don’t know how to describe it,,, but you can practically see how Katsuki is just the center of his universe in those two moments?? And how Katsuki’s trying his best to make it seem like he personally doesn’t care if Kari’s there or not, but he’s still letting him close?? 😭 I love them so freaking muchhh.
Anyways, I’m pretty sure that’s what I’m trying to convey!! Also, this is maybe kinda off topic, but I really like how you draw their hair?? Katsuki’s is so perfectly spikey and Kari’s messy hair is just too adorable <33

Hi! I just wanted to drop a headcannon I'm currently finding motivation to write here because I'm still new on the discord server and stated before that I get panicked easily!
Imagine this: Kariage and Katsuki gave each other promise rings in middle school but they lost contact when Katsuki went to UA... Kariage on the other hand, became a popular singer or something and he has lots of fangirls, but despite that he's still loyal to Katsuki and wants to find him again like a modern day Romeo and Juliet. He wears the promise ring and his fans starts to notice and ofc there are *THOSE* fangirls that try and buy matching ones... What they didn't know was that the promise ring Kariage wore had a vow or sentence that only he and Katsuki knew... Now back to Katsuki, he rarely wears the promise ring but he still kept it and polished it and the only ones who realised that Katsuki was wearing the ring were Momo and Deku but they decided to leave it be
OK, now onto how they're reunited...basically the fangirls are getting wild so Kariage finally revealed that he has a lover but won't say who... So one day he decides to have a little concert at UA because they really need something fun (also because he knew Katsuki was there)... He was allowed a tour in the school and let's say, coincidentally Katsuki walks by and Kariage sees him and he grabs Katsuki and makes him turn towards Kariage so he could see his face... Now, Katsuki wanted to yell at him but then realised it was Kariage so he of course was shocked and said "Holy sh*t- Kariage-?" and then Kariage just smirks and then everyone else is just shocked and Kariage just says "Hello Strawberry" (OK but imagine Strawberry as a nickname because what if Katsuki was a sucker for strawberry flavored things-) and then they kiss in front of everyone and they are just like- so shocked because our local angry Pomeranian??? With famous singer Kariage???
Dadzawa in the bag like: AYO STOP HITTING ON MY PROBL- AYE STOP KISSING-
!!! Omg you’re our newest member?? i think?? Anyways, welcome to the discord server, I hope you like it well <33
As for your little concept - its super cute!! I love thinking of all different types of AUs when it comes to these two, but this one is interesting!! I really do like the concept of Kariage and Katsuki exchanging promise rings (I have a century old concept of Kari proposing to Katsuki at a festival which has been in the works for,,, forever) and the idea of the two of them being in a secret relationship and/or losing contact is!! just!! one of my favorite things to think about, to be honest, because of the sheer amount of possibilities. Especially if you add in some good ol’ Dadzawa, ya feel? 👀
And, the concept of Kari calling Katsuki every type of pet name to show his love and affection? Your Honor, I love them so. Thanks for sending this in!! It gave me just the right amount of serotonin <33
oh mY GODksJGHDKJhagsfdadAGHdfskjdrjdkl?!?!?!?!?
hi oh my god i love middle school katsuki and his loser friends so much what the heck. the way?? you draw?? them?? amazing unparalleled absolutely gorgeous how??? just,,, katsuki’s little chubby cheeks and grumpy face,,, kariage’s messy hair and the way you drew the smoke,,, and dehisa looking like an absolute asshole in ways i cannot verbalize,,, im love they
Bad kids
God, I adore the concept of Katsuki and Kariage being together for just everything. Through the good and the bad and everything in between, through tears and laughter and victory and defeat, they’ve been by each other’s side for it all and that’s just perfectly sweet.
The idea of them creating a code just to make sure they never feel unsafe or uncomfortable around each other?? I love it. Just the thought or Katsuki feeling so wrong after the Sludge Villain Incident, constantly flinching from touch and having to choke back the feeling of cold slime sliding down his throat, choking him is so extremely sad. And, Kariage always being on guard becuase he’s been conditioned to expect slaps and hits and hurt from the people meant to love him the most is absolutely heartbreaking.
But, then, Kariage and Katsuki acknowledging that it’s okay to be not okay, and them coming together to make sure neither one of them feels bad with the other boy? Hi, yes, I am crying.
Them knowing each other so well that not even a word has to be spoken for them to understand? I love it. Their safe spaces and little tells and the comfort is so adorable, and I freaking adore how they always make sure it’s okay to hug and hang around the other boy to make sure no boundaries are crossed. They’re both boys who’ve been raised to be strong above all else, and the thought of them knowing they don’t always have to be the pinnacle of strength with each other is so soft.
The rest of the Katsucrew picking up on the little code and starting to use it on the daily is just another bonus that makes this whole concept even better, because here’s this ragtag bunch of kids who’re the exact opposite of perfect - they fight a lot and stumble around each other’s thoughts and feelings and they make mistakes because they’re kids - but they try, and they’re there for each other through the highs and lows and plateaus, and that’s all that matters in the end, isn’t it?
📁 undercut-kun x katsuki Jk jk jk haha Unless👀👀 (You're the only one feeding me with his ship😭)
BAKUGOU HEADCANON 28
(if you catch me replying to asks months late, nO YOU DIDN’T)
Kariage (undercut-kun) and Bakugou have been dating since middle school, it’s in context that they’ve spent years getting to know each other, working around one another’s insecurities and weaknesses. Kariage especially to Bakugou, after the sludge villain, sports festival, kidnapping, fights, etc., he’s been there.
He and Bakugou devised a code or secret language if you will, right after the sludge villain incident. Two consecutive taps must be done first if you’re going to initiate physical affection towards one another, and wait for 2 seconds if the other is going to shake their head as a no. If not, then the physical touch is welcome.
This is done to not surprise Bakugou or Kariage at the sudden contact, to not activate their fight or flight response. This stemmed from Bakugou’s traumas of people grabbing him and Kariage with his abusive parents. It’s a simple secret act between the two of them, yet important nonetheless as it shows consent.
Another is four consecutive taps meaning that they feel unsafe or their anxiety is spiking up. No matter where they are or what they’re doing, they stop and try to leave (if they’re with other people) and goes to a certain safe place, like Bakugou’s room or under their tree at the park, until the person feels comfortable again. No questions asked between the two of them, they give the other space or affection depending on the mood and wait until they tap 2 times to signify they’re okay again.
With this, they built trust and boundaries, something Bakugou’s other friends may lack or ignore. They build comfort and protection, because no matter how strong Kariage seems to be, there are times when things become overbearing. They’ve been doing this for years and the other members of the Katsucrew or Aldera Gang (dubbed by @hitheryon) has caught up on their signs and makes it a habit to watch out for those subtle taps initiated to know how to cheer their friends up or to give them time and space.
Kariage and Bakugou know their friends have realized and seen their private codes already and they couldn’t be happier as the signs they use become an unspoken thing between the group. No questions asked, they’re simply there for one another. They might not be perfect, but they’ll go through everything and anything together.
Wow, I am just. I legit can’t. You know that feeling where you’re so shocked you can barely think? This. This right here, oh my God, I am amazed. I just?
I love this. Holy fuck, I love this so freaking much. You know, I’ve always had a bit of trouble imagining what Kariage would do and how he’d act after the Sludge Incident, especially towards Katuski but this? This takes the cake, because I was actually tearing up. Literally tearing up because I just love this so much.
Just?? Kariage on his knees apologizing and crying because he thinks he’s such a coward for not trying to help Katsuki, the person he loves, even if he couldn’t have done anything at all?? Katsuki acknowledging that Kariage valuing his own life was smart and basically telling Kariage he has nothing to apologize for?? Absolute perfection, I love it so much.
And, just?? Katsuki round-a-bout saying that Kariage’s actually brave for facing him, telling Kariage he can make up for his self-perceived sin by choosing Katsuki?? I am deceased, I am sniffling as we speak, this is so freaking adorable.
I love how you have Kariage be so stupefied by Katsuki’s annoucement, like he’s just so legitimately shocked because Katsuki’s choosing him? And their adorable interactions make my heart squeeze so much because they’re just so cute?? Katsuki telling Kariage he’s an ugly-crier, the two having their first kiss, Kari telling Katsuki they’re gonna have so many dates because he’s gonna romance Katsuki right?? The Bakugou’s already knowing their son is crushing hard, Kari knowing Katsuki’s a secret romantic at heart, and the fucking “I’ll make you happy, Katsuki. I promise.” has got me crying from the cuteness overload, I’m just sdsfghjkdlkjhgfgshj
You’re literally one of the best content creators out there for KariBaku and it shows.

“…I’m sorry. I’m sorry, Katsuki.”
Katsuki stares at Kariage’s ugly, crying face, then huffs out a breath.
“Running away was the smart thing to do, don’t be an idiot,” he says, crossing his arms over his chest. He watches as Kariage tries, and fails, to wipe away the tears flowing from his eyes. He looks pathetic like this, kneeling before Katsuki in Katsuki’s bedroom, begging for forgiveness for a sin that Katsuki never regarded as one anyway.
Why would Katsuki be angry at Kariage for running away when he’d been captured by the sludge villain? Why would he hold it against him that he prioritized his own life, when Katsuki damn well knew that Kariage didn’t have the strength or power to fight back in the first place?
Katsuki didn’t blame him for anything, and yet, here he was.
Kariage says weakly, “I left, I could’ve at least tried—”
“You’re not strong enough to save me, and I never wanted to be saved anyway,” Katsuki says.
“Is that enough?” Kariage says, frustration written into his knit brows, his clenched jaw, his shaking fists resting over his lap. “Can you honestly say that’s enough, Katsuki? It’s not a matter of saving you, it’s a matter of being a coward.”
“I never said you weren’t. You were a coward.”

I love your characters they are ♥ So what if... What if the class learns 'bout the bullying stuff and they turn away from Katsuki. He's not well after weeks of being ignored by teachers and badtreated by his classmates, Deku is trying to help but he can only do so much. He's struggling to be himself and the Katscrew notice, they notice how much more quiet he's being, and the 2 in UA notice the strange behavior in everyonelse. The final straw is Kat crying his eyes out with Kariage maybe?
Okay, so this is somewhat related to this ask, but I’d 100% be lying if I said I didn’t have a Spiteful (@lawgrain) AU with the Katsucrew 👀
Obviously, considering the story isn’t finished yet and I’ve got a very one-sided view of what’s happening in the fic, the concept’s not fully fleshed out, but it has some very general ideas, of course.
Karaige, Seika, and Henshuu are the first to figure out something’s not quite right. After all, Kariage’s the closest to Katsuki and both Seika and Henshuu are the two in the group who have the best grasp on the emotional situations in the crew. Everyone, even little Kanji, know that Mitsuki and Masaru aren’t the greatest of parents - Mitsuki is abusive in so many ways and Masaru never actually stops it - but this is something else.
Before whatever happened, Katsuki constantly regaled the crew with stories of what happened at UA - the training, the lessons, even the shenanigans that 1A got up to. Then, one day, the stories all but stopped. Katsuki stopped bringing up how Aizawa-sensei was a great teacher who pushed him to his limits, how Shitty Hair and Round Face were awesome sparring parents, how Katsuki was one of the best in all his classes. Now, he barely mentions UA at all, until he starts bringing up a girl named Hatsume.
“She’s crazy as fuck,” Katsuki tells him. “But she’s real.”
It’s subtle, but they know what he means by it. He means that she’s honest with her intentions, doesn’t hide her bad side, but she’s good nonetheless.
It’s only a matter of days when the truth about what’s happening really comes out. It’s not purposeful in any way at all, but Katsuki comes to the Warehouse, pure rage in his eyes as he paces around where the crew is sitting and he launches into a rant about how one his idiotic teachers, Ectoplasm, is fucking with his assignments and grades just to see him fail.
After that, the crew unanimously decided to help.
At the infamous lunch table, Hifue and Mito start sitting with him. They talk and laugh and mess around, not caring about the hateful and confused glares being thrown their way. Mito walks him to his classes, subtly snarking the Hero students that try and trip or shove Katsuki, and Hifue tells him about a plethora of places in UA that could serve as a place he could relax and avoid people in.
Hatsume is there to validate what Katsuki’s going through. She doesn’t defend what he did in middle school, thank God, but she’s there to tells him that what’s happening is wrong. She’s one of the first to tell him that the useless teachers who don’t bother to look further are worms, the one to snarkily deny doing repairs or upgrades on his classmate’s costumes. She’s there to call his mother a hag.
Henshuu’s there when he needs to take his anger out productively. She brings him to the gym she frequents, the one her papá owns, and she holds the punching bags still, and watches as he lifts dumbbells until his arms shake, and spars with him until they can do nothing but flop onto their backs with heaving chests.
Seika, Kanji and Yasushi are there when he needs to relax. They bring him around Musutafu and Tokyo and practically make him have fun. They drag him around newly-opened restaurants at night and fast food places in the early morning, take him to arcades and festivals and the movies, make him tag along as they visit owl cafés and karaoke bars and parks. They make him smile.
And, Kariage? He’s there when Katsuki needs to let go. He’s the one Katsuki turns to when everything gets a little too much, when his mother bruises his cheek and someone calls him a villain one too many times and he gets another bad mark on a perfect assignment. He’s the one Katsuki turns to when he needs to cry, because Kariage won’t make fun of him - he’ll hold him for hours, whisper hundreds of words of affirmation, kiss away his tears.
And, no matter what Deku does or says or tries, the class and teachers will always hate him. If Katsuki didn’t have his crew or Hatsume, maybe it would’ve gotten to him more. But, with them, the situation’s not good, but it’s - it’s better. He can live with it easier, because he’s strong, but the people who love him make him stronger, and that’s all that really matters in the end.
Pablo, Pablo, oh my God, Pablo. How’s it feel to own my entire heart just by drawing this? I freaking love them and I adore you from drawing this, you talented, amazing, astounding person. I just?? Kari’s half-lidded eyes and pierced ears? Immaculate, and I am absolutely envious of the way you draw proportions. Yasushi, with his absolutely amazing hair, slanted eyes, and smile? Bye, I’m in actual love. And, Seika? Pablo, Pablo, she’s beautiful. Her cute lil nose and fluffy hair and big eyes? Once again, I say this with as much feeling as possible: I love you from the bottom of my actual heart from drawing them so perfectly.
mmmmmm Katsucrew go brrrrrrrr
KARIBAKUYASUUUUU!!!
Hi, yes, I freaking adore poly KariBakuYasu. They’re just so cute together!! Just, boys being boys, all cute and I love them so much. Kariage and Yasushi making a pact to not try and take Katsuki from the other?? The two bonding so much over that and spending more together that they start developing feeling for each other?? Them kissing and immediately being so fucking awkward about it?? I love it, it’s beautiful and perfect.
Katsuki knowing that some shit’s clearly up, so he sits the boys down so they could talk?? The casual affection and cuddling?? Kari and Yasu being all shy as they admit to kissing and liking Katsuki?? Them being so shocked that Katsuki likes them back because they’re just dumb boys?? I’d wholeheartedly die for them. Like, they’re just so freaking oblivious??
And, lastly, just?? Katsuki being all shy because he’s unsure if he read the room right, them going back to playing video games after finalizing their relationship status because it’s just so normal, them being happy boys?? I wouldn’t change a thing. This was so wonderful and I had the biggest smile on my face as I read this, it was just that freaking cute.
Also, yaOI HANDS!!?!?!?!?!!!? 🤣🤣🤣
📂
i’m in a kariage/katsuki/yasushi mood so 👁👁👁👁
after the sludge villain incident, they both realize their feelings for katsuki, because he could’ve died. they could’ve lost him.
yasu goes to kariage and tells him that he thinks he likes katsuki. kariage also tells him he likes katsuki. they make a “truce” that they won’t try and “steal” him away from the other.
they start to hang out more, just the two of them, and soon develop feelings for each other too.
one night, they’re goofing around together at kariage’s house, both tipsy. kariage just looked at yasu who laughing his ass off at something. and in that moment kariage found him so pretty. he leaned over and kissed him. yasushi kissed him back.
when they both realized what they just did, they jumped away from each other.
“what the hell was that for?” yasu yelled.
“i don’t know! i looked at you and suddenly we were kissing!” kari hissed at him.
“what about katsuki, huh? we both like him.” yasu asked him.
“apparently we both like each other too!” kariage’s bluntness shut the both of them up immediately, both turning their heads away from each other, face burning.
“....what are we gonna do?” yasu asked after a few moments of awkward silence.
kariage sighed. “i have no idea.”
after that night, things got awkward between them. katsuki could tell something was up, and frankly was sick of the tenseness between them. so he decided to intervene.
“what the fuck is up with you two?” katsuki bluntly asked them, one day while they were all hanging out at katsuki’s house. “did something happen? you two are barely speaking to each other.”
kariage and yasushi’s eyes both widened and the looked at each other before quickly looking away again. “i have no idea what you’re talking about.” yasu said, staring at the game controller in his hand.
“bullshit.” katsuki says. he stands up and takes the controller out of his friends hands. “you two are talking this shit out right now or i swear to god-“
he plops down right onto kariage’s lap and grabs yasushi, dragging his head onto his own lap. “now talk. i’m staying here until you solve your bullshit.”
his two friends faces were as red as can be, yasu trying to bury his face into katsuki’s thighs while kariage did the same with his back.
katsuki let out a sigh, and brought his hand up to run it through yasushi’s hair. “.... we kissed.” kariage’s muffled voice came from behind.
katsuki froze. “was it consensual?” yasu and kari both nodded. “then why is it such a big deal? you two like each other right?” he felt another nod come from the two of them. “then just go out!”
“it’s not that easy.” yasu mumbled. katsuki looked down at his friend, who’s face was still hidden. “why? why is not that easy?”
“....because we like you too.”
everyone stopped. suddenly a burst of laughter came from the blonde. “that’s it? that’s what got you two all freaked out? jesus! you act like two middle school girls!” he said between laughs and giggles. “i like you too dumbasses.” he smiled at his two friends.
yasushi and kariage whipped their heads up to look at the blonde. “seriously?”
“i don’t say shit i don’t mean! of course i like you idiots! you think i’d do this shit with just anyone?” katsuki raised his eyebrows at them, gesturing to the obvious cuddling going on.
kariage and yasushi’s faces became bright red, while simultaneously looking a little constipated. katsuki started laughing at them again. “you two are so stupid oh my god!” he turned and kissed kariage’s cheek, then leaning down kissing yasushi’s cheek too before getting up off of them.
kariage made a strangled noise in the back of his throat while yasushi fell back onto the floor, looking like his brain was reloading.
“up and at ‘em idiots! i’m gonna beat your asses in some mario kart right now.” he tossed the controllers back over to where they sat.
wait, he’s gonna move on? just like that?, kariage thought to himself. “wait! what about us? are we all dating each other now?” kariage called, looking up at the bed where katsuki sat.
“obviously.” he snorted. “...unless, you’re uncomfortable with that and i read the situation wrong.” his cheeks pinkened and he looked down at the bed, playing with his fingers.
“no!” yasushi yelled. immediately getting embarrassed, he tried to cover up his eagerness with a cough. “i mean... no. you didnt read the situation wrong. i’m okay with us all dating.” he looked at kariage, who just hummed in agreement.
katsuki bit the insides of his cheeks to conceal his smile and looked back up at them. “good. now get your asses up here! i’m gonna demolish you.” he swung his own game controller in front of them.
kariage snorted. “not if i beat you first!” he jumped up onto the bed, lightly elbowing his boyfriend. holy shit. they’re boyfriends. he has two boyfriends.
“id like to see you try!” katsuki elbowed him back.
“10 dollars that kat wins.” yasushi calls, slowly making his way on the bed.
kariage gave an overdramatic gasp, looking completely offended. “excuse you! i’m great at mario kart!”
“kari, babe, i love you, but you’re absolutely atrocious at mario kart.” yasu pats his boyfriends head.
katsuki snorts. “yaoi hands is right! you suck!”
yasushi squawked at hearing that new nickname. “YAOI HANDS?!?!?!?”
kariage burst into laughter. “YAOI HANDS- THATS THE BEST ONE IVE HEARD SO FAR! KATSU YOU ABSOLUTE GENIUS!” he leaned over and kissed his temple.
katsuki turned red and giggled, while yasu sulked. “we’ve been dating for 5 minutes and you two are already ganging up on me.” he turned his back on his boyfriends, fake pouting.
katsuki grabbed the back of yasushi’s shirt, pulling him backwards, causing him to land right back into katsuki’s lap. “aww boo hoo.” he jokingly mocked, leaning down and kissing his forehead.
and that’s how the night went on. the three of them having fun, being teenagers, and finally together. katsuki is so happy. they’re all so, so happy. and they wouldn’t change a thing in the world
Hey, you guys!! Please give this fic the love it deserves, because it is absolutely wonderful. I love how Lupita just so seamlessly wove an amazing story that lasts years in so few words, and made it mean so much?? It’s literal perfection and it needs to be shared with everyone because it made me smile so wide and tear up and the prose is chef’s kiss.

I did it.
okay but consider,,,,
kariage and bakugou haven’t talked in a long time. after katsuki went to UA they lost contact and stopped talking to each other even though they were best friends. until one day katsuki is out with the bakusquad plus the rest of 1A. they’re at the mall just looking around having a fun time. until someone pushed bakugo. they were just messing around but he got caught off balance and fell. and landed in someone’s arms. he looks up and sees kariage who has changed so much but is still the same old bad boy he definitely didn’t have a crush on. but he caught him like his knight in shining armor.
“guess you’ve fallen for me huh”
and all katsuki can do is blush while he stares at those dark brown eyes that used to be so familiar.
If you guys catch me replying to asks like a month late, no you didn’t <33 No, but, for real, I love this. Like, Katsuki and Kariage losing contact despite being best friends is just so sad and real, because you know it had to have affected Katsuki a lot. After all, they’d been friends since they were kids, add Katsuki’s obvious need for affection and desire to be understood onto that and Katsuki’s probably feeling pretty shitty. But, since there’s no way to get back into contact with Kari, he’s left feeling so lonely, not that he’d ever willingly admit it. And, on some random day, he’s out with the idiot brigade and the rest of his loser class at the mall. And, like always, they’re always so touchy-feely. He doesn’t understand how they could just poke and nudge and shove at each other so easily when touch, for Katsuki, hasn’t felt right in a whole year. Hasn’t felt good or safe and warm, which is why he dodges, ducks, bends away from the wayward, wandering hands of his classmates. And, then, out of nowhere, Shitty Hair knocks into him. Katsuki knows immediately that it wasn’t purposeful - unlike the other idiots, Kirishima knows to respect his boundaries, and he doesn’t go out of his way to tease and touch him when Katsuki obviously doesn’t want it - because Shitty Hair jolts away right after and opens his mouth to apologize. It doesn’t matter, though, because Katsuki’s already tripped forward and he’s falling and -
Someone catches him.
It wasn’t necessary, of course. Katsuki’s a Hero-in-training, he would’ve easily been able to regain his own balance if some random stranger wasn’t there to grab onto his waist and steady him. So, Katsuki straightens and looks up, already preparing to step back and put space between himself and the hands on him, and stops.
Because the person who caught Katsuki isn’t a stranger, and the feeling of the not-stranger’s hands on him suddenly don’t make him feel like bugs are crawling under the surface of his skin, doesn’t make him feel cold, doesn’t make him feel wrong. No, the touch feels nice, and the sheer surprise of that is what makes Katsuki stutter when he blurts out the name of the not-stranger, who’s hands are gripping him protectively: “K - Kariage?”
Kariage, the boy Katsuki used to visit arcades with, used to tell off for his nasty smoking habit, used to laugh with, used to love. Kariage, smelling of smoke and leather and the cheap vanilla cologne he used to wear back in middle school, with his messy undercut and pierced ears and half-lidded eyes, caught Katsuki. He grins down at the blond-haired boy, smug in a way Katsuki has missed, and huffs out a short laugh.
“Guess ya fell for me, huh?” he teases, dark eyes sparkling with mirth, and Katsuki can do nothing but fall in love all over again.
Hey!! This hurts! :D
No, but, seriously, I love this. Like, I’ve always really loved the concept of Person A getting into a relationship with Person B, but all of Person A’s friends/family don’t like Person B for some reason, because it is prime angst material. After all, who wants to chose between a lover and friends/family - they’re all people you love, just in different ways, but it hurts that none of them can get along for reasons you can’t understand.
And, the class not being the ones to like Kariage? Perfection. I love it. Just, the fact that the kids are Heroes-in-training, people who’re supposed to be the epitome of good, and yet they still make mistakes. They see Kari, in all his delinquent-esque self, with his cigarettes and piercings, and they immediately don’t like him, don’t even think to look past that to see his true, kind and funny nature. Add in their jealously from just how close Katsuki is to this two-bit thug, and you’ve got some serious animosity that they don’t even bother to try and hide.
And, oh my gosh, when Kirishima was the ome to overhear Kariage comforting Katsuki? Boom, my heart was hurting. Because, Kiri was supposed to be one of Katsuki’s friends, how didn’t he realize that he was hurting him?
But, I just love how the class, after hearing what happened from Kiri, make efforts to change their ways. They give Kariage a chance, and, yeah, he’s an absolute asshole, but he’s also funny and kind and he loved Katsuki so fucking much, and that’s something they all share with Kariage.
And him being best friends with Shinsou and Tokoyami (and, maybe Jirou to complete to Goth Squad 👀) is absolute gold, I freaking adore it.
📂 do you have anymore headcanons with kariage x bakugou? (preferably involving class 1-A but i’d be fine with anything) i love everything you write!!💗💗
Thank you so much sweetheart! x
The first time Kariage met the class they didn’t really like him. They kind of respected him for the way he could calm Katsuki down but the feelings of jealousy inside of them made it almost impossible to see just how kind and genuine he was. Along with that, they just didn’t think he was good for Katsuki’s image. The guy just looked like an absolute dickhead, and he fucking smoked, for gods sake.
Their animosity disappeared the moment they overheard Katsuki talking to Kariage about it, though.
It was Kirishima that heard them. Kariage was staying in the dorms for the night and Kirishima was just walking downstairs to get something to drink, but just as he was about to turn the corner and step into the common room he heard some sniffles and a deep, raspy voice.
“Come on, babe, you’re worryin’ ‘bout this way more than I am.”
“Shut the fuck up, it’s stupid, I know, but I just want you all to get along, I’m fucking tired of everyone talking shit about you everywhere we go and I’m tired of the looks and the way everyone’s arguing.”
“You’re too sweet, baby, just ignore ‘em.”
Kirishima ignored the sound of kisses being pressed against Katsuki’s face and he just went back to his room and sent a message after making a groupchat without Katsuki in it.
Guys, we fucked up.
After telling them what he heard the class changed immediately, they realized they’ve been absolute assholes and completely inconsiderate. They start to spend more time with Kariage, getting to know him and hanging out with him and straight away they fall in love with the guy. He’s a bit of a dick sometimes, sarcastic and with a dry sense of humour, but every time he talks about Katsuki his eyes light up and he gets this sappy smile on his face and they can’t dislike him after seeing that.
The person he gets along the best with is Tokoyami though, and later on Shinsou. They get together and revel in their goth/emo/punk aesthetics.
!!! The fact that you feed us rarepair shippers so well is so amazing of you, Gab. Like?? The pure perfection of this? I fucking teared up reading this, I had to read it multiple times, Gab, it was that amazing, okay? Everything about this story is absolutely exquisite - Katsuki becoming Number One, Aizawa and the class crying because they’re so proud, the proposal scene??? It was so beautiful, Gabby, like??? The way you worded everything made it all the more perfect and you are literally one of my favorite people ever <33

!!!!???!!!!!?!??!?!!?!?!?!??!?????!! OH MY GOD??!?!
Dude. Dude, this does not look wonky at all. What the fuck, this is amazing, holy shit, I fucking love him. I just??? His hair? His eyes and expression? His scar and piercings?? It’s so fucking immaculate, oh my god, you are literally so amazing for drawing Kari, he’s so beautiful in your art style!!
I tried drawing Kariage in the mha art style I haven't tried to draw in it before so hopefully it doesn't look too wonky
@hitheryon hope this pleases you :')
!!! Hi, yes, I’d like to establish that Kari calling Katsuki any and all petnames currently occupies every braincell I have to spare. Like, the concept of Katsuki, someone most people see as this tough, uber masculine guy just absolutely melting at being called baby and honey, and angel? It’s perfect, it’s literally so freaking amazing and I love it.
And, I absolutely adore how no one says a thing about it. They hear Katsuki be called these sugar sweet terms of endearment and immediately wanna tease him, but then, they see him smile? They see him blush bright red and look away shyly with a small, cute smile and gently shove and Kariage, and he’s looks so happy. Aizawa and the Bakusquad can’t find it in themselves to take that away, and I love that.
Because, with all the shit Katsuki’s had to deal with and been put through, all the pain and shame and hurt, he deserves everything good. And, if a little petname or two make him happy then that’s perfectly okay.
Hey, I hope school gets better for you, soon! I can definitely relate to the stress and it sucks that you have to deal with that >:( Regardless, I got a headcanon for Kariage, if that's cool! Personally, he gives me the vibe of someone who uses a million and one petnames for his partner, and Baku would 100% be subject to this. I just find it so cute to think about how Baku would react to all the cutesy nicknames and how *others*, like the Bakusquad and Aizawa, would react to them as well! :)
Thank you!! It’s a bit of a struggle now as I’m trying to get into the swing of things once again after months of not attending Uni, plus I have a few scripts to write, some shit to direct, etc. but I’ll figure it out!!
Also!! Yes! I totally agree.
He just has that energy of someone who’s incredibly cocky, very confident and likes to tease and toy with people, that’s the reason he first uses pet-names, he just likes the way it makes Katsuki stutter and blush and tell him to fuck off.
But then, once they get together, he does it because he knows fine well how much Katsuki loves it. He knows because he’s seen that soft little smile that appears on Katsuki’s face whenever he calls him anything remotely sweet.
So he calls him baby, sweetheart, angel, anything and everything he can think of, just to get Katsuki to smile at him like that.
And I think that the first time the class/Aizawa hear Kariage call him pet-names they’re so damn ready to tease him. They’re already thinking of what they’re going to say at him, a lot of them are a few seconds away from laughing at the scene. But then they see the way Katsuki reacts, the smile, the blush, the way he looks down at the floor and bites his lip and slaps Kariage’s shoulder, the taller boy just looking down at him and smiling all proud and smug, and suddenly they have nothing to say. They know that if they say anything, if they do something awful as laugh, it would affect Katsuki, it would make him feel embarrassed and ashamed of liking something as sweet and soft as pet-names. So they keep their mouths shut and pretend they didn’t hear or see anything.
