Them™

!!! 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

Relationships: Bakugou Katsuki/Kariage, Bakugou Katsuki/Kariage-kun, Bakugou Katsuki/Undercut-kun, Bakugou Katsuki/Kariage│Bakugou Katsuki’s Childhood Friend Summary:

“Do you Bakugou Katsuki, take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband?”

Or, congratulations then a marriage proposal.

wrote a karibaku (kariage / bakugou) marriage fic! 

tch.

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.

♡ Intro to the Undercut-Verse ♡

Hello!! This is the info page for my Undercut-Verse, an AU created to support my personal HC that Bakugou had friends (and a boyfriend) at his junior high before getting to UA. It also gives me a valid reason to give Bakugou the love and support he needs and deserves.

Characters

Other than Bakugou, the main characters in this ‘verse are who I collectively call the Katsucrew or the Aldera Gang. There are seven of them, all of which I named and created character profiles for:

Agei Ashikari (安芸芦狩), also known as Undercut/Kariage-kun by Japanese fans, is Bakugou’s boyfriend. He’s attending a lesser known Hero school with three of the other main characters and has the Quirk: Smoke.

Agei Kanji (安芸完志) is Kariage’s little half-sister and Bakugou’s honorary baby sister. She eventually becomes best friends with Eri and has the Quirk: Temperature Manipulation.

Dehisa Yasushi (出久や舒沙) is one of Bakugou’s friends from junior high. He’s enrolled at a normal high school and has the Quirk: Finger Elongation.

Daikikou Seika (大輝煌青渦) is one of Bakugou’s friends from junior high. She attends the same Hero school as Kariage and has the Quirk: Cyan Spiral.

Kate Mito (火手美橙) is one of Bakugou’s friends from junior high. She’s enrolled in the Department of Support at UA and has the Quirk: Fire Arm.

Obuki Hifue (小浮気一二栄) is one of Bakugou’s friends from junior high. She’s enrolled in the Department of Business at UA and has the Quirk: Small-Scale Telekinesis.

Shioawa Henshuu (塩泡編集) is one of Bakugou’s friends from junior high. She attends the same Hero school as Kariage and has the Quirk: Bubble.

Settings

Besides Aldera Junior High, UA High School, and the various households of the Katsucrew, there are other places that have a prominent presence in this AU. These locations are:

Moushou Academy (猛将学校), the lesser known Hero school that Kariage, Seika, and Henshuu attend, located just inside Musutafu.

Black Cat Café (黒猫喫茶店), the cat café where Seika is employed and the Katsucrew often visit to relax or study.

Dehisa Family Store (出久家族店), the family-owned konbini where Yasushi and his parents work.

Shinpi’s Noodle Shop (神秘饂飩屋), the hole-in-the-wall ramen shop where Kariage works and the crew meet up to celebrate or cheer up.

The Warehouse Roof (庫屋根), the roof of an abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of Musutafu that serves as the Katsucrew’s official hangout spot.

Kosetsu Kindergarten (古拙幼稚園), the quaint kindergarten that Kanji attends, located right between UA and Moushou Academy.

Me, circa August 9th and September 6th, introducing the concept of Kariage and the Katsucrew in Bunny’s server for the first time <33

me making all of my friends look at my new favourite character

dafsgsdhjs I’ve reread this about twenty times and it keeps getting better. Like, every time I go back to the beginning of this, it somehow gets more funnier? I freaking love this.

Aizawa being overprotective with it comes to his pseudo-son?? Him immediately giving Kariage the side eye because how can he trust such a delinquent around his model student of a kid?? Katsuki just being so oblivious about the tension between Kariage and Aizawa?? Aizawa giving Kariage a serious shovel talk and Kariage turning about and calling him old man and calling Katsuki a precious little princess?? Aizawa reigning in his frustration and urge to punch Kariage becuase he recognizes that this is one of Katsuki’s only friends?? Him immediately having regrets about allowing Katsuki to be around Kariage when he finds out that they’re MORE than friends???? THIS is utter fucking perfection, this is the reason I live, and the fact that this exists makes my life 500% better <33

Undercut-kun and Katsuki da- I mean Aizawa? How would that go? 👀

Honestly? I think that Aizawa would hate Kariage at first, like he would pull Katsuki to the side after he meets him and he’d go ‘Are you sure? Like... That’s who you wanna hang out with? Please reconsider, I love you but you’re an idiot and I will not hesitate to punch you in the face.’ All the while Kariage is just standing a few feet away behind Katsuki, looking straight at Aizawa and giving him a little wave before he smirks and pulls out a cigarette. Aizawa has to close his eyes to stop himself from actually harming a teenager.

Meanwhile, Katsuki is completely and utterly oblivious as to why Aizawa is even acting concerned and he has no idea about the amount of tension between him and Kariage. He’s just trying not to smile while being like ‘can’t believe they finally met and they love each other, this is the best day of my life :D.’

Aizawa later talks to Kariage and tells him to be careful with the way he behaves around his so-student, his student because he doesn’t want this delinquent corrupting him in any way, shape or form.

But Kariage just waves him off and rolls his eyes, ‘yeah, yeah, old man, get off my back, I’d never hurt the precious little princess.’

Aizawa’s temples throb.

Fucking... princess? He’s going to punch him, he just knows he is.

But he leaves it alone and he moves on, he can’t force Katsuki to leave his friend behind, especially when he knows how hard it is for the kid to make friends in the first place. And he can’t deny that he looks really relaxed around that.... boy.

It’s not until Katsuki brings him to the dorms and Aizawa walks into the common room only to find Katsuki straddling the guy while they make out that he realizes they’re not just friends.

💕 bunkugou 💕

Introducing the entirety of the Katsucrew at long last!!

From left to right we have - 

Daikikou Seika, the sweetheart and resident fashion disaster of the group. She’s a bit soft spoken but with a surprisingly willful side to her, and she loves taking care of her army of plants and reading from her many books.

Kate Mito, the mechanics-obsessed trouble-maker of the crew. She’s a very candid girl who expresses her feelings freely, and she’ll rant for hours about her ideas and theories to anyone willing to sit down and listen.

Agei Ashikari, or Kariage, the very reason the trope of bad boy with a heart of gold exists. He’s understanding to a fault and cares deeply, always willing to defend his friends or cheer them up with a ride through town.

Bakugou Katsuki, the center of this motley crew. Somehow, even as a bratty kid with a million and one complexes, he ended up with the most amazing group of friends and all it took was a few months of badgering and friendship rituals.

Agei Kanji, the absolute baby of the group and favorite of them all. She’s sweet and kind, quick to comfort and unfailingly hilarious, an amalgamation of all the best traits of the group, who she all views as her honorary siblings.

Shioawa Henshuu, the most feral of the the group under her deceptively disarming guise. Both driven and gentle, she knows every way to topple someone down and then how to pull them back up with a helping hand.

Obuki Hifue, the perpetually exhausted mother hen of the squad. She’s quiet to a point, but around her friends she smiles brighter than the sun and works hard to make sure they take care of themselves, lest she get personally involved.

Dehisa Yasushi, the laid-back older brother figure of the squad. He’s relatively chill most of the time, only really getting hyped over video games, but he’s always down to have a good time with his friends, whether it’s legal or not.

I should say though, that I’ve also decided that Family by Mother Mother is the theme song of the Katsucrew. Give it a listen if you haven’t already - it matches this squad of hell-raisers perfectly.

Can we have a undercut and Katsuki hc and like could you make them skater boys💙💙

Oh, wow, not me answering asks twelve years late - never that! Okay, but for real, I’ve lowkey been thinking about a Skater Katsucrew AU for awhile now. I’m probably never gonna write something for it, at least not now, what with my busy as fuck schedule, but!! It makes me happy to rant about, so I’ll guess I’ll just do that dkfjhdjsk

Okay, so!! Kariage’s your classic skateboarder. He made his first one out of old scrap wood and bought his first real one years later after he fell in love and decided to save up for one. He’s got a bunch of scars from falling and the rough edges of his homemade board scratching him. He’s really into doing complicated tricks, mostly to impress Katsuki, but mostly enjoys how learning and rehearsing his moves will take him out of his own head for a few hours. It’s relaxing to him.

Yasushi is a longboarder. He’s knows a few tricks, but mostly prefers cruising - especially down empty roads or on his way home from school, where there’s not that much foot traffic. He learned because he got jealous of Kariage’s interest in skateboarding when they were kids, but made the switch to the more casual board after a bad fall.

Mito’s a biker. Solidly built with thick tires and a more filled out frame, her bike looks like a mainstream dirt bike, but that’s mostly because she built it to withstand some pretty harsh crashes. She doesn’t know too many tricks, mostly because her bike’s too big for doing most of them without her screwing up or falling, but she loves having races with anyone who’ll go against her.

Henshuu has a scooter. She’s not that interested in using it for tricks or to try to impress people, and she is fully aware that riding on it makes people think she’s younger than she is, especially combined with her stature and baby face. However, she loves how easy it is to cruise on it for hours and to get places fairly quick - plus, it also serves as a perfect opportunity to hit someone’s ankles when they’re being annoying.

Katsuki has inline skates. This may be surprising to most people, since he so much looks like someone who’d use some other sort of wheels, but it actually fits him best. He doesn’t like riding bikes or scooters because it requires the use of hands and he prefers to keep his free, and having his wheels firmly attached to shoes that can’t come off with ease makes it effortless to do tricks and seamless moves without a second thought.

Seika’s a rollerskater. She’s a very clumsy person by nature, so having the four wheels set in two rows instead of one helps her maintain her balance easier. She loves doing competitive roller derby, often serving as her team’s jammer since she’s the fastest and most flexible on account of her small size, and it’s not rare to see her practicing evasive maneuvers and racing her friends to get better.

Hifue is a figure skater. She’s got that fancy feel, y’know? I don’t know, but the vibe of her dressed in fancy silk and sequins, spinning and dancing and moving like she is so in tune with her body, effortlessly like she was made for it - it’s perfect. Figure skating for her is not simply a skill to master or a way to make people ooh and ahh, it’s a way of life to her, something so ingrained that being off the ice feels foreign.

Anyways!! In this AU, I’m imagining that the squad starts off split up. You’ve got Kari’s gang: him and Yasu and Mito, just a bunch of bad kids on boards and a bike. They’re known as those kids who practically live at the skate park, and you can’t live around their neighborhood without seeing them cruising the empty streets at night laughing at the top of their lungs at least once.

Then, comes Katsuki’s crew. It’s odd, seeing him and Seika and Henshuu together - they don’t really fit as well as most people think friends should: Katsuki’s loud and brash, Seika’s shy and sweet, and Henshuu’s bold and sly. But Katsuki and Seika’s similar styles and Henshuu’s incessant butting in brought them together as friends.

The two group collide when Katsuki decides to skate at the slightly derelict park that Kariage frequents. Immediately, Kariage is intrigued by Katsuki, who slouches with a hand on his hip, barely reaching Kari’s shoulder because of the one row skates he wears, scrunching his nose at the sight of the board that rests against Kariage’s hip. Immediately, Katsuki wants to leave, not wanting to associate with wannabe skater kids, but Seika and Henshuu are already so enamored with Mito, and now he can’t leave.

Things go on, and eventually the kids start hanging out more and more, especially after Kariage quite frankly shocked Katsuki with his skateboarding skills - not that he’d admit it or anything, but Kari can see the twitch of Katsuki’s eyebrows and the light in his eyes and he smirks because Katsuki’s not as slick as he thinks, trying to hide his amazement.

Then, Seika, ever the sweetheart, brings in a new member - Hifue, who’s stiff and slightly uncomfortable, who slowly relaxes and who eventually becomes best friends with the crew, who takes note of the risks her friends take when riding and incorporates more daring flips and tricks into her routine and becomes even better at her sport than she ever thought, now that she has friends who inspire her to step outside the box and think freely.

Plus!! Just thinking of little baby Kanji, trying out skateboarding with her brother holding her hand and the whole crew cheering the first time she manages to land and flip - it’s gonna make my heart explode from the sheer cuteness.

Just,,, Katsucrew on Wheels AU,,, pls.

[2/2 Continuation of THIS Post]

Now, while everything at the Sports Festival was happening, there were people at home watching the broadcasts. Watching Katsuki chained and muzzled to the podium, watching Mito chew out All MIght and Midnight, watching as the crowd devolved into shouts of “Let him go!”, watching as Katsuki was finally released and allowed to leave, watching as things were thrown from the stands, watching as the second and third placers reluctantly took their medals before hurriedly leaving the stadium.

There was the League of Villains, who watched as a child got chained up by so-called Paragons of Virtue. Who watched as no one did anything until another child spoke up. who watched a powerful child stumble away with fear and hurt in his eyes. Who watched as people still supported the Heroes and gave excuses.

They see Bakugou Katsuki, a future recruit.

But we aren’t focusing on the League of Villains. No, we are looking at the Katsucrew:

Seika, who stared at the TV screen with furrowed brows and teary-eyes, so confused, so heartbroken. Who picked up her phone and called up Mito to get the full story. Who cried when Katsuki told her that it was fine, he was acting up, he should’ve just accepted the medal.

Kariage, who threw a mug at the wall, uncaring of the broken shards and the fact that his mother screamed herself hoarse at him. Who picked up the phone when Seika called, in tears, and agreed to meeting up. Who grabbed Kanji and hauled ass to the crew’s meetup spot.

Henshuu, who sat in shock at the broadcast. Who tried so hard to keep from screaming in rage that she bit her lip bloody. Who threw her responsibilities at her older siblings just to sneak out the house and meet up with her friends.

Yasushi, who took his first ever day off of work just to make sure his friend was okay. Who grabbed Katsuki’s favorite snacks from his family’s konbini. Who snarked at a stranger on the train who claimed Katsuki would fit better as a villain.

The crew all gather at the Warehouse Roof by the time the sun is setting, Mito and Hifue arriving last with a quiet Katsuki. He beelines straight to Kariage, who holds the younger boy in a tight hug. One by one, the rest of the crew join in, Kanji curled in Katsuki’s arms as the kids comfort their friend.

“You did nothing wrong,” Seika whispers hoarsely.

“You didn’t deserve what they did,” Mito murmurs.

“Not your fault,” echo both Hifue and Yasushi.

“I’ll kick their asses, see if I care,” grumbles Henshuu.

“Shuu!” Seika scolds as Kanji giggles at the curse.

Katsuki snorts, smiling softly in the middle of the hug.

“We’re here for you, ‘Suki.” Kariage kisses the top of his head, tightening his arms around his smaller boyfriend. And, Katsuki doesn’t reply, but when he reaches for Kariage’s hand and squeezes three times, eyes shining with unshed tears, the crew all know their boy was gonna be okay.

“I love you too, baby,” Kariage whispers.
