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.

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

For those unaware of the fanart being referenced, you can find it HERE!

But, asdfghjkl!! I’ve thought so long and hard about this photoset since I’ve found it. It just looks so magical, if that makes sense? The atmosphere, lighting, colors, motions and expressions just perfectly portray all that needs to be said, and every time I look at the art, I feel literal shivers, it’s that amazing.

The story you added, with everyone being there to see Katsuki’s surprise and watch as he stands in shock, rushing forward to reunite with a long lost friend. It’s amazing how you subtly reference their falling out, how it happened because Katsuki was still too fragile and lasted because both were too stubborn to go back to each other. The little details you add: everyone calling to Katsuki as he runs, the old bracelet Kariage still wore years later, how you can almost feel the scene of two friends reuniting like nothing ever happened.

I love this, so freaking much.

Do you guys know that fanart of Bakugou being in the train and as he looks outside the window he sees Kariage lighting a cigarette at one of the stops? 

First of all I think about it every day.

But second of all… What’s the story? I want it, I need it.

Just… Imagine if his classmates were with him on the train, they were all standing next to him, talking and laughing in the cold winter night, and Katsuki is tired, he’s ready to go the fuck to sleep, he can barely keep up with the conversation and so he’s just gazing out the window.

Suddenly, the train slows down, the outside which was blurry just seconds ago suddenly coming into focus.

Katsuki ignored the way the conversation around him stilled as he gasped, feet moving forward until he was stood before the window, head tilting to the side as he desperately tried to keep his eyes on him. 

Because it was him, there was no one else that it could’ve been, and Katsuki would never not recognise him, no matter how long it’d been since they’d last spoken.

It had been a while, though. Since Kariage had come over after the Sludge Villain, when Katsuki was still broken, still fragile and haunted by the memories of what had happened, and for the first time… They argued. They yelled and threw insults until their throats hurt and Kariage left with hurt in his gaze. 

Their own stubborness stopped them from talking again.

But he was there, now. Right fucking there with the same haircut, same type of cigarette between his lips and the shitty, worn-out bracelet Katsuki had given him years ago still around his wrist.

“Bakugou? You alright, man?” He heard someone ask, but it didn’t matter. They didn’t matter.

All that was important was that he get the fuck off the damn train.

Soon he got the chance.

The second the doors slid open he ran through his group of friends, ignoring their yells and the calls of his name as he ran towards him.

As if he could sense him, Kariage turned around, their eyes finally meeting as he withdrew the cigarette and, with a smirk, blew the smoke out to the side.

“Hey, Katsuki.”

And Katsuki couldn’t help it. He smiled.

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.

Dude is that your art??? Holy shit it is so good!!!

Thank you so much!! And, yup yup!! I actually drew it awhile ago - about three months ago, I think!!

It’s the concept art for one of the fics I have on the backburner for now, since I’ve very currently obsessed with KariBaku and the Katsucrew: it’s basically a retelling of BNHA, if Katsuki was the biological child of Miruko, Burnin’, and Endeavor through some various Quirk shenanigans. Pretty major themes included Bunny Katsuki and all that entails, Endeavor being a decent dad way before canon with a side of chaotic Katsuki + Todoroki siblings interactions, and just general Quirk and fanfiction fuckery, to be honest!! gdshjsdfhgfhdj

I’m happy you liked my Bunkugou!! <33

sdfGHDJFKL NEW KARIBAKU JUST DROPPED!?!?!?

Okay, wait I’m just,, please the energy in this 🥺 I don’t know how to quite explain but It Soft, you feel?? Just,,, Kari sleeping so deeply and Katsuki reaching out to wake him up but like,, there is just this Moment, where the light shines just right, and he can hear every one of Kariage’s deep, even breaths, and Katsuki’s hand is just hovering, outstretched because it feels like he can’t move and there’s this weight on his chest, heavy and warm and alive and!!

Wait, I’m so in love pls 😭😭😭

(KariBaku) After Class

cue eternal incoherent screaming!!!!!!!!!

Oh my gosh, having one of my favorite authors/artists tell me that I brightened their day?? On my birthday?? Hi, yes, I don’t think I’ll be able to recover from the sheer amount of joy I’m experiencing right now fdsghjaklkh <33

!!! Ah, I'm a bit shy, but I wanted to tell you I really love your art and writing!! They make me really happy, and your stuff for Katsuki and Kariage really helped draw me into the ship that's, quite honestly, consumed my every waking hour asdfghjkl You're just an all around awesome person and I just really wanted to tell you that!! Thank you for providing such awesome content <33

😭😭😭 you’re so sweet, bless your heart!!! 💖💖💖 And ahhhh omg Kariage/Katsuki...it’s such a rare ship, I’m happy to have pulled you in!!! I may actually write more at some point, since I’m not done exploring how their dynamics might work even with the lil info we have!

Thank you so much for the nice message, it really brightened my day!! 🥰💖💖

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

I just wanna thank you so much. Undercut-kun and the other childhood friends are so underrated because people don't realize it's beauty. Thank you for bringing awareness to this. I love you and your content.

AHH omg you’re so nice!! Yeah, honestly, this whole ‘verse just came about because I wanted Katsuki to have a childhood friend turned boyfriend in a story i was outlining, but Deku just wasn’t fitting in right, you know? And I remembered some of pyrrhicwildfire’s stuff on Twitter and I got curious. Before long, I was scouring everywhere I could for content, but I couldn’t find all that much!!

Then, when rewatching the first two episodes, I noticed some interesting character designs in Katsuki’s middle school class and thought that, if Katsuki could have a boyfriend from middle school, why not a bunch of friends?

Honestly, I’m just really excited to start writing the actual series, as I’m planning on (hopefully) having at least five stories for the official ‘verse with at least four spin-off AUs.

Also, I appreciate your love for this ‘verse!! It makes me happy that people enjoy my content that much <33

asdFGHJKL!!!! YES!! OMG this is amazing!!

Just - every bit of this is absolute perfection. Like?? Them just thinkin about each other as good friends then BAM!! the Gay(tm) hits them good.

Bakugou falling first is my absolute favorite thing in the world, because it kinda makes sense?? I mean, this boy doesn’t do anything by halves - if he falls in love, he falls hard and he falls fast.

I also just really love the fact that he fell in love with Kariage when it was just the two of them, if that makes sense?? Like, it was their own personal bubble of reality - it was quiet, just the two of them, the sun was setting, and they were just being themselves. Then, Kariage lights his cigarette - something he’s done hundreds of times, why’s this time so different?? - and the dam breaks, and Katsuki finally realizes.

And, my God, the little details - Kariage being an artist, the wind ruffling his hair, Kariage’s eyes being chocolate brown, the sneaky little glances that all baby gays can related to?? Impeccable, astounding, I love it.

I freaking adore the idea of Kariage Quirk going out of control and him having a coughing fit when he first realizes Katsuki’s, like, insanely strong and attractive. Also, Kariage being the absolute bestest friend and bringing Katsuki his homework and notes - then seeing Katsuki be so freaking soft and just falling?? Perfection.

Plus, 5000 bonus points for crop top and big hoodie Katsuki, bakugou with back dimples, and amazing mutual pining!!! You never cease to amaze me with your brain ideas <33

Ooh, what abt Undercut-kun and Bkg being eachother's gay awakening? :P

Yes, yes, yes.

Katsuki didn’t really expect it to happen. He’d always been really relaxed around Kariage, he’d allowed himself to be calm and he considered him a genuine friend and he’d never looked at him like that.

So it comes as a bit of a shock when he looks at him one day and his entire mind just goes ‘Ah, right, okay, fuck.’

It happens when they’re at Kariage’s place one day. 

His parents weren’t home for the weekend and so Katsuki was able to come over for once. It was close to dark, the sun was just setting. They’re just in Kariage’s room, silent, only speaking every once in a while when Katsuki lifts his phone to show him a meme or a video, in the meantime Kariage is sitting on his windowsill, leaning against the wall with a sketchbook against his knees; the window is slightly open, letting in a cool breeze and making Kariage’s hair sway in the wind as he draws. 

And then he lights a cigarette. 

Katsuki hated those things, he hated the way they smelled, the way he could see cigarette butts all over the ground, the way they could potentially get him into trouble, but he knew Kariage only smoked cause of his quirk, to strengthen it and to use smoke more efficiently and so he didn’t really care if he did it in the privacy of his own room. But he never thought it would be... Attractive. He must’ve been tired or some shit cause as he watched while Kariage lifted a hand and shielded the lighter while he lit the cigarette, all he could think about was how hot he looked with his shitty dark hair, dark clothes and the sunset behind his head, golden hour illuminating his face and making his black-looking eyes show their true colour - dark chocolate brown. Katsuki shook his head and tried not to look at him as Kariage inhaled and lifted up his pencil once again. But it was hard. So he kept sneaking glances, clenching his fists whenever Kariage licked his bottom lip or tilted his head to the side whenever he was focusing harder than usual.

He nodded shakily when Kariage asked if he was alright.

Yup. Just fine.

For Kariage it happened during two instances, both portraying Katsuki in two different lights.

The first time it was when he came over to Katsuki’s place and his mother directed Kariage to the backyard where Katsuki was practising his quirk.

When he walked over there he wasn’t expecting to see Katsuki wearing some grey sweatpants and a fucking crop top. A crop top. 

It showed his tiny little waist, his smooth pale skin, the sweat dripping down the arch of his back and over the dimples at the bottom of it. He could barely fucking breathe. Even his stupid quirk went out of control a little bit, smoke coming past his lips before he coughed and got rid of it.

Just in time for Katsuki to turn towards him, giving him an eyeful of those fucking abs while grinning at him.

Great.

The second time was when Katsuki got sick.

It was rare but it still happened sometimes, and Kariage offered to bring him the homework and his notes.

But then he walked into his room and saw Katsuki curled up on the bed, fast asleep while swimming in an oversized hoodie, the hood pulled over his head.

His face was flushed and lips parted, the tip of his nose slightly red too.

Kariage moved his hand, brushing Katsuki’s hair away from his forehead and nearly cooing at how soft the boy looked.

So pretty.

The first time he saw Katsuki he might’ve realized he was attracted to him, but the second time was when he realized that oh fuck... He actually has a crush on him.
