Okay but headcannon that kariage is a jealous or possessive boy but at the same time very smug because he trust Katsuki and he knows he’s the only one who can make Katsuki a flustered mess (1A in the corner all crushing on Katsuki watching him blush for the first time with this delinquent)
Anon!! Anon, this is 100% correct and i know this because I say so.
Kariage is, in fact, a very possessive boy, but he doesn’t show it outright most of the time. He knows that Katsuki would kick his ass six ways to Sunday if he ever showed his possessive side too much, so he settles for just being straight up protective. Katsuki pretends to hate it, but he secretly loves how Kariage holds him closer when they’re in bad neighborhoods, keeps his arm around Katsuki’s waist when people get a little too close, refuses to let him do anything taxing when the stress and anxiety get to be a little too much.
But, yeah, when 1A finally gets to meet Kariage face to face, which I’m thinking happens during the UA School Festival, Kariage sees these kids and becomes even more insufferable on purpose just to ruffle their feathers. He absolutely enjoys the looks of shock, anger, and jealously he gets when Katsuki tucks himself under his chin, holds his hand, and goes on his tiptoes just to kiss Kariage.
And, okay, maybe Kariage is acting a bit immature, but when he sees Midoriya and the boys of the Bakusquad, he always smirks right at them when a blushing Katsuki initiates physical affection without prompting. He knows Katsuki’s never gonna go for boys like them, but they have hope and defiance in their eyes, and Kariage never liked people trying to take what’s his.
haha not me near to crying tears of joy because one of my favorite content creators acknowledged me im,,, i need some time to recover, my cheeks hurt from smiling so much and so wide and i am just so happy!!! asdfghjkl <33
hi uhm!!! before i get too shy, i just wanted to pop in and say i really really REALLY love your karibaku content and i appreciate so much, especially when it shows up on my dash because!!! it just!!! makes me so happy!!! :D so thanks you a lot for your contributions to our little rarepair, they always make me smile real big <33
Oh my god hi!!!! Thank you so so much, you’re such a sweetheart !! <3 I really love writing for those two idiots, it’s such a fun ship! And I love all the stuff you’ve created for them too, it’s so good!! <3 <3 <3
when i think of “love like you” by rebecca sugar, i usually think of kiribaku, but i just listened to it and i couldn’t help thinking of bakugou and kariage! it’s such a lovely song!!
(the way you made bakugou and kariage my otp even though kariage is barely even a character shajdhsj)
!!! OMG, I’ve never heard of that song but now that you mention it - thinking noises intensify. It is a really cute song!! Not my usual genre, but I love how it sounds!!
Also asdfghjk yeah, to be honest, it’s kinda my goal right now to get as many people as possible interested in them so there’s a surplus of content because I need it <33 But, yeah, it is the woe of,,, what would we be considered? Rarepair shippers?? Crackshippers?? boTH?? regardLESS, yeah, I mean I feel like I simultaneously doomed and blessed myself from the start by hyperfixating on this one (1) character with no name and less than like,, 3 mins or screentime, if that. But, there’s nothing I can do about it now!! I’m in to deep.
Thanks for the support <33
HI HELLO I have nothing to say except that this is amazingly soft and I hold it incredibly dear. Kariage throwing rocks at Katsuki’s window? Kariage calling Katsuki ‘Baby’? Kariage smelling like a bona fide bad boy, but being so comforting? The cuddling? Katsuki not wanting Kariage to leave because he thinks he’s bad? The reassurances and sheer amount of love? Utter perfection. I’d wholeheartedly die for you <33
I’m tired and want to sleep but I keep thinking about Katsuki going home after the Sport’s Festival and he doesn’t cry at all, he just feels so numb and defeated. His parents aren’t even there when he gets in and he’s happy for that, at least they won’t tell him how disappointed they are, and so he just showers and goes to his room.
He spends hours laying in bed, thinking about what happened and how he must’ve deserved it, he was bad and needed to be punished.
But then, in the late hours of the night, he hears the familiar sound of rocks hitting his window and he already knows who it is. He rushes to open it and he watches as Kariage climbs up and jumps into his room.
Katsuki just wrings his hands together and looks down while Kariage cups his cheeks and rubs the red and cut up skin where the muzzle dug in. Kariage clicks his tongue and lifts up Katsuki’s face.
“You hurt, baby?”
Katsuki shakes his head. He wasn’t, it was fine, he deserved it.
But suddenly all he can smell is smoke and leather and Kariage’s cologne and all he can feel are his hands on his cheeks and they’re so fucking gentle and so soft and his face crumples and he just starts to cry.
Straight away Kariage pulls him in, holding him closely and shushing him as Katsuki wraps his arms around him and they fall onto his bed.
He doesn’t know how long they spend like that but he does know that at some point he started talking, rambling about how sorry he was, how he deserved it, he’d get better, he wouldn’t be a villain anymore, and he begged Kariage not to leave him now that he showed everyone how bad he really was.
But Kariage didn’t leave. He just pulled him in and told him he loved him, he tells him he knows him, he knows who he really is and it’s anything but bad, finally making him relax and fall asleep.
They’d talk tomorrow. It’s fine. He’d be fine.

Do u have any special headcannons about Katsuki and kariage’s relationship?? R they a clingy couple, do they have a date night every Friday etc etc???
I absolutely have special headcanons for the boys!!
So, first of all, physical affection is a big part of their relationship. Kariage is a possessive boy, so he loves showing his love of Katsuki out in public. He kisses and hugs him, holds his hand or waist, even pulls him onto his lap when he knows he’ll get away with it. Katsuki pretends to hate it, but he loves when Kariage does those little things. He might scream and shout otherwise, but he also adores the fact that his boyfriend can and will just pick him up whenever, just because he wants to.
Sometimes, though, Katsuki will accept the affection without even grumbling, and even initiate affection. Kariage loves those moments more than most things.
As for dates, because they are both so busy with Hero school, they go on official dates once every three weeks. Their dates usually consist of eating at new places, attending festivals, going hiking, or going on double dates with Mito and Seika. Between dates, though, they do still hang out, often studying together and trading Heroics lesson notes, going to the arcade with the crew, and training together.
They also have little traditions in their relationship. Katsuki often prepares bentos to last a week for both Kariage and Kanji so they don’t have to go without food at home. He also carries around lollipops and other hard candies for when Kariage starts itching for a cigarette. Kariage always greets Katsuki by pushing his bangs up and kissing his forehead, and the two of them have a tradition of going on a week long camping trip with Kanji once a year to relax and take in the beauty of nature. The two also have a habit of doing the three squeezes when holding hands to nonverbally tell the other “I Love You.”
All in all, they’re a very cute couple and I love them lots!! <33
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.
Okay, can I just say that I freaking love outsider POV, especially when it comes to secret relationship fics?? Something about is just so chef’s kiss, I don’t know why, but it is.
Kariage and Katsuki’s secret meetings to get pierced and no one knowing where Katsuki’s going, who he’s going with, and why he’s going? Perfect, I love it. Plus, I adore the idea of 1A seeing the two of them interact and having no idea what to do or how to react. I mean, Kariage positively radiates Big Bad Boy energy - he’s wearing ripped jeans and leather, got painted nails and a shit ton of piercings, and it’s obvious he’s a smoker. And the fact that he gets away with calling Katsuki his given name and some cutesy petname?? The class is confused and livid.
asdfghjkl I LOVE obviously possessive Kariage who smugly shows off his boyfriend to a simultaneously jealous and enraged 1A - it’s amazing. Also, you own my heart for having Katsuki get nipple piercings, that’s one of my favorite HCs and I feel like it’d 100% happen at some point with Kariage knowing influence.
📁 look I'm a slut for pov outsider, bakubowl and Baku with piercing sooo I wanted to know what do you think about class 1-A finding out katsuki x undercut-kun. I'm a weak woman with else can I do except beg for more of my favorite content😭😭
Ok I just gotta say that pov outsider is highkey one of my fav things too.
No one really knows about how close they are and their little tradition with the piercings, not even Izuku. No one knows that they call each other and straight away they go to some shady location and get something pierced. All they know is that every once in a while Katsuki will disappear and when he comes back his clothes is all ruffled, his lips are red and there’s a new piercing somewhere on his body.
They find out about it when the class is out at the mall one day. They’d just gotten dropped off and so they’re still all together in one location. But just as they’re about to separate and go off in different directions they hear a deep and raspy voice calling out Katsuki’s name.
At first they think Katsuki will blow up, explode and yell cause no one calls him by his first name, but then they look at him and he’s fucking smiling and he’s walking towards someone before they... hug? What the fuck?!
They’re watching as Katsuki holds onto this damn... delinquent. This stranger with his stupid messy hair and shitty undercut and his leather jacket and ripped jeans and the cigarette behind his ear and all they can think about is how much of a cliche bad boy he is but he still somehow makes it look good.
They also notice all the piercings covering his ear and his face, as well as the black nail polish he has on. They don’t know if they have a crush on the dude or if they want to punch him cause he’s so damn close to Katsuki.
They accidentally overhear them talking, the Undercut dude speaking in low tones, “wanna go get something else done, kitty Kat?”
And first of all, how dare he? None of them are allowed to call him sweet nicknames! How come he gets to call him that? And second of all... What the fuck is he even talking about?
But they don’t even have time to think about it cause before they know it Katsuki is nodding excitedly and waving back at them as he walks off.
To make matters worse Undercut turns towards them and winks as he throws his arm over Katsuki’s shoulders.
And when Katsuki comes back and tells them he got another piercing which they can fucking see on his damn nipple through the stupid tight tank-top he’s wearing all they can think about is how they hate the undercut guy.
Ooooo can we have some more headcannons about the katsucrew !!! (Also I’ve been so into undercut-kun x Katsuki lately and this account is a godsend! thank you!!!)
asdfghjk omg Anon, you’re so sweet!!! Also, yes, of course you can have more Katsucrew headcanons. I dunno if you were in bunny’s server when I posted all the ones I had, but for those who weren’t, here are some of them!!
So, starting with Seika!! She’s a real sweetheart, a bit of an airhead when it comes to social situations, but very book smart. She’s especially fixated on plant science, especially since she often uses the flowers, roots, herbs, and leaves she finds in her baking and in making medicinal tonics and salves. Additionally, due to her love for all things nature, she’s obsessed with wearing floral patterns with every outfit, often resulting in the clashing prints and colors that Katsuki despises.
Kariage is older than the rest of the Katsucrew, being seventeen, and, combined with how he raised his little sister from birth, often acts older than he is. He’s the first to tease and make fun of his friends, but he’ll beat up the first person who says anything bad about the crew. When he got old enough for a license, he got his hands on a motorcycle. Now, it features art that every member of the crew helped to design, and something that represents each crew member (i.e.: explosions and grenades for Katsuki, fire decals for Mito, water bubbles for Henshuu, etc.).
Mito is one of the few in the Katsucrew that can actually cook, often competing with Katsuki to make the best version of complicated dishes. She’s also a bit of a bad girl, despite being enrolled at UA, often partaking in underage drinking and buying weed from Yasushi. Despite this, however, she’s a model student, one of the top in the first year Support Course and always up to use her skills for good.
Henshuu is a bit of a wildcard in some people’s eyes. She’s small and wears her hair in pigtails, but, as a skilled boxer and martial artist, she’s also one of the only ones in the Katsucrew who can actually take Katsuki down in Quirkless fighting. She was raised in a mixed-race household, being 1/2 Japanese, 1/4 Chinese, and 1/4 Mexican, so she’s multilingual and and skilled in the art of cooking fusion dishes for her army of little siblings.
Yasushi is the only one of the crew not going to Hero school, instead attending a normal highschool. He works afterschool at the arcade the Katsucrew frequent and the konbini his parents own. He’s the first to start pranks wars in the crew and the most lax about following the rules, as he’s the most mischevious.
Hifue is studying in UA’s business course for the sole purpose of becoming Katsuki’s PR Agent when he becomes a full-fledged hero. Back at Aldera, she was Katsuki’s casual study-buddy, and the two still meet up on weekends with some of the crew to study at one of their various hangouts. Despite seeming quite aloof, Hifue is a kind girl, calling Katsuki out when he goes too far and helping the business owners in Musutafu by taking stock and organizing their finances for extra cash.
Hope you like these, Anon!! <33
uh hi! i really like your fic idea and the katsucrew and undercut-kun, and i was going thru ur tags to see more stuff and i saw how you tagged like japanese words into the tags? what do those mean, are they like the ship name?
Thank you for the support, Anon!! And, yes, they are the ship names for Kariage and Katsuki!
‘카리캇‘ is the Korean ship name and it phonetically sounds out Ka - Ri - Kat. This is, of course, the combination of Kariage, the name the Japanese fandom gave Undercut-kun, and Katsuki.
Now, before we go on to the Japanese ship names, I’m gonna explain Kariage’s name. Technically, Kariage isn’t actually a last or first name, it’s a descriptor. Because of his undercut, Japanese fans dubbed him 刈り上げ, or Kariage, which is a noun that means close-cropped hair or harvesting.
刈り爆, or KariBaku, is the combination of the first kanji and hiragana of Kariage and the first kanji for Katsuki’s surname. 刈り勝, or KariKatsu, is exactly the same, however, it uses the first kanji for Katsuki’s given name, instead.
Hope this helped!! <33
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.
