[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.
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.
!!! 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.
do u have any hc about 1-A getting jealous of undercut-kun when he’s lovin on katsuki or vise versa?
Oh, definitely!!
I’m not entirely certain if I actually want to have Bakubowl in the ‘verse, but regardless, there are going to be some jealous kids.
The Bakusquad and Deku are the ones who are most jealous of the closeness between Katsuki and Kariage. Deku mostly because he hates the fact that, despite knowing Katsuki for longer, Katsuki barely tolerates him while he willingly gives attention and affection to Kariage.
The Bakusquad are jealous because most of their ‘Let’s be friends’ advances are rebuffed without a second thought. At first, they don’t understand why Katsuki lets his other friends be so casual about touch, not knowing that years were spent gaining trust and learning about each other.
However, eventually, when Katsuki admits to the Katsucrew that he wants to actually get closer to the Bakusquad and at least form a decent relationship with Deku, the crew supports him 100%. Some of the crew even goes so far as to give advice to the 1A kids, mostly about the different ways Katsuki expresses care and friendship and how to be a good friend to the resident hothead.
cue eternal incoherent screaming!!!!!!!!!

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.
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.
※DO NOT REPOST / HOST MY WORK ON OTHER APPS OR SITES
“…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.”

wow :))) you really :))) love tearing :))) my heart out :))) don’t you? :)))
No, but this, for real, made me teary eyed. Like, the concept of Kariage being the only one who cared for Katsuki despite there being so many people Katsuki cares about? The way cigarettes/smoke, the color black, sneaking out reminded Katsuki of his sweetheart? How Katsuki never had win with Kariage, because he was already so good, so perfect in the eyes of his boyfriend? Catch me crying in the club, this shit hurts.
[ original content, do NOT steal, i will write this ]
Kariage dies from lung cancer due to his smoking habits during Bakugou’s 2nd year and fuck, Bakugou knew this was coming, knew that it’ll be sooner that later but he still can’t wrap his mind around loosing one of the people that cared about him. (Bakugou cares about a lot of people, though they seldom care about him too).
Sometimes when he sees a cigarette bud on the street, he can’t help think about how they’re the reason he lost the one person in his life he truly loved. When he smells smoke, they bring tears in his eyes and his throat instantly gets tight because it smells so much like Kariage, it’s like he’s there beside him again. But that’s just it right? That smoke is the reason he’s gone. Funny how that works.
He can’t bring himself to wear the color black anymore because it reminded him of their high school sweetheart days and suddenly he feels numb, feels nothing because the love of his life isn’t there to watch him grow as a hero and as a person (like Kariage said he would). Can’t bring himself to sneak out of U.A. no matter how much he wants to because that used to be their secret thing. When he becomes number one hero, sure he’s proud he’s made it, he worked and bled for this. But the one person that supported him since day one wasn’t there to watch the stars with him until sunrise that night. He thought the day he’ll reach number one will be the best day of his life, but it’s not. Not without him, the only person that mattered. He realizes after everything that his greatest goal in life wasn’t victory, because he was already a winner with Kariage.
And now he isn’t.

!! THE!! CHEEK!! SPARKLES!! omg i love this headcanon, it’s so friggin adorable. Oh man, it’s so sweet that Kariage’s the only one who knows about them? Like, it’s a literally testament to just how close they are to each other, you know, that they knows things about each other that no one else does. And the way Kariage is the only one who can fluster Katsuki enough for the little sparks to show up? The fact that he’s smug about the fact that his boyfriend is only cute with him? Immaculate.
any bakugou and undercut-kun hc?
Kariage is the only one that knows about a little.... side effect of Katsuki’s quirk. It’s nothing bad, nothing life-threatening, it’s just fucking adorable.
See, if Katsuki gets flustered or blushes hard enough he lets off tiny little star-like sparks all across his cheeks. He can’t control it, can’t stop it, and Kariage adores it.
No one else has gotten Katsuki to do that and he definitely hasn’t told anyone about it, he thinks it’s fucking embarrassing, it’s so stupid and childishly cute.
But Kariage loves it, it’s one of his favourite things about Katsuki. He loves the way he looks when it happens, cheeks all flushed and brows furrowed, nose scrunched up in frustration, all the while his cheeks are covered in bright little sparks. It’s the cutest thing ever. What he loves more than the way it looks, though, is just the fact that he’s the only one that can make it happen.
