Kariage My Beloved

asdfGHJKL??? I?? I CAN’T BELIEVE OMG??

Me, broke: oh yeah, Deku’s kinda neutral towards Kariage, and only a little bit jealous about the fact that despite knowing Katsuki for longer, he’ll never be as close to him as Kariage, who’s only known him a fraction of the time, is. However, because he has a good heart, he’s just happy that Katsuki has a good enough friend to be vulnerable with :)))

You, besoke: Oh No, Deku Is 100% Angry, Bitter, Jealous, And Hateful And Kariage Drinks His Tears Of Agony To Fuel His Possessive, Smug, Egotistical Self >:)))

I am a Fool for believing otherwise asdfghjk

Also???? future tattoo artist Kariage?? I am swooning.

Hc that deku hate undercut-kun with all his guts Because even though he is baku's childhood friend, undercut-kun is closer to baku than he is Undercut-kun knows about this so he will show a lot of affection to bakugou (if baku is okay with it) In front of deku while deku is glaring at him But bakugou doesn't know about any of this

Oh God, I love it so much, it has so many delicious elements - jealous/angry Deku, oblivious Bakugou and possessive/smug Kariage. Amazing.

During Middle School Kariage didn’t really notice anything amiss, him and Katsuki weren’t that keen on PDA or even revealing that they were in a relationship so to everyone else it just seemed like they were friends, not even close friends at that since they kept their distance while in public. Kariage often overheard people call them Katsuki’s followers and he couldn’t help but laugh at the title cause to him it was ridiculous. He couldn’t believe that people were so blinded by the front Katsuki put up that they really thought he couldn’t have any real friends. Ridiculous.

But then Katsuki and he go to separate High Schools - UA for Katsuki, of course, and an art school for Kariage - and the lack of PDA still doesn’t bother them. 

Until the Sport’s Festival.

Katsuki got a spare ticket and of course he invited his boyfriend and Kariage was more than happy to watch him fight, he knew his Katsuki would win anyways and he wanted to be there and give him a congratulatory kiss when he did.

After the fights started he decided to leave his seat and go find Katsuki; it’s not like he wasn’t used to sneaking around into places he didn’t belong. He just wanted to wish him luck - not in those words, of course, he’d get his damn face blown off if he ever insinuated Katsuki needed stupid shit like luck.

And soon he found the booth Katsuki was in and he was surrounded by the 1A Class. 

When he walked in he first saw Katsuki’s face, that adorable little frown was right in place and everyone seemed to be yelling over each other as they talked, seemingly making some stupid comments towards Katsuki. Kariage had no problem interrupting all that bullshit and calling out his name

And like magic, Katsuki’s frown disappeared and his features calmed down as everyone quieted down and watched as Katsuki turned his head while Kariage walked towards him.

“You’re not supposed to be here, dumbass.”

“Yeah, yeah, as if I care.”

And then he leaned in, placing his hand on Katsuki’s cheek and kissed him.

He was pretty sure someone fell of their seat but Kariage just sat down next to him and placed an arm around his shoulder.

With a glance to the side he noticed a pair of curious green eyes on them, those eyes got filled with something... strange, something a bit more angry, when Kariage squeezed Katsuki closer to his side.

Kariage smirked.

Interesting.

It seemed as if after that Kariage saw Midoriya everywhere, he was almost concerned with how frequently he and Katsuki ran into him but he thought nothing of it. He was too busy pulling Katsuki closer and kissing him and revelling in the look of fury crossing Midoriya’s features whenever they saw him, after all.

It was exhilirating. It honestly did wonders for his ego, the fact that this sweet kid was angry that his childhood friend, the most explosive and stubborn person known to man, was letting himself be soft with someone that he’d only known half the amount of years he’d known Midoriya.

Soon he started to make sure Katsuki had his marks on him too, his neck and chest were always covered in hickeys, insuring that everyone, especially Midoriya, will know he’s spoken for.

Once they moved into the dorms (and Kariage stopped panicking whenever he didn’t see Katsuki for more than a day) it was harder for them to see each other but luckily Katsuki managed to get permission to both leave the dorms and have Kariage come visit him.

And so Kariage got the absolute pleasure of talking Katsuki into joining a movie night - a thing he’d never joined before - with minimal grumbling and then they took up a corner of the couch where Katsuki practically sat in his lap during the whole thing before finally falling asleep on his chest, his hand gripping Kariage’s hoodie and his face lax and completely calm; beautiful as always.

He looked up at that moment, watching as Midoriya lifted his jealous gaze from Katsuki’s face to Kariage’s. And as their eyes met Kariage smirked, leaning in close and pressing a kiss to Katsuki’s forehead before he winked.

He had to bite his lip to hold in a burst of laughter at the expression on Midoriya’s face.

Fucking amazing.

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

Wait, you said that you will write your verse. Will you write it here and/or in the other platform? Like ao3? I'm kinda confused:o But, btw, I love your verse. I ship undercut-kun with Katsuki since day one but can't find much about them:(

asdfghj I’m so happy that this ‘verse is so loved!! I’ll be posting the series on AO3!! I’m not certain when the first part will be up, especially since school is really kicking my ass this week, but I’m hoping to finish the test fic (the Fantasy AU) by next week, fingers crossed!! <33

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.

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

Hey!! This hurts! :D

No, but, seriously, I love this. Like, I’ve always really loved the concept of Person A getting into a relationship with Person B, but all of Person A’s friends/family don’t like Person B for some reason, because it is prime angst material. After all, who wants to chose between a lover and friends/family - they’re all people you love, just in different ways, but it hurts that none of them can get along for reasons you can’t understand.

And, the class not being the ones to like Kariage? Perfection. I love it. Just, the fact that the kids are Heroes-in-training, people who’re supposed to be the epitome of good, and yet they still make mistakes. They see Kari, in all his delinquent-esque self, with his cigarettes and piercings, and they immediately don’t like him, don’t even think to look past that to see his true, kind and funny nature. Add in their jealously from just how close Katsuki is to this two-bit thug, and you’ve got some serious animosity that they don’t even bother to try and hide.

And, oh my gosh, when Kirishima was the ome to overhear Kariage comforting Katsuki? Boom, my heart was hurting. Because, Kiri was supposed to be one of Katsuki’s friends, how didn’t he realize that he was hurting him?

But, I just love how the class, after hearing what happened from Kiri, make efforts to change their ways. They give Kariage a chance, and, yeah, he’s an absolute asshole, but he’s also funny and kind and he loved Katsuki so fucking much, and that’s something they all share with Kariage.

And him being best friends with Shinsou and Tokoyami (and, maybe Jirou to complete to Goth Squad 👀) is absolute gold, I freaking adore it.

📂 do you have anymore headcanons with kariage x bakugou? (preferably involving class 1-A but i’d be fine with anything) i love everything you write!!💗💗

Thank you so much sweetheart! x

The first time Kariage met the class they didn’t really like him. They kind of respected him for the way he could calm Katsuki down but the feelings of jealousy inside of them made it almost impossible to see just how kind and genuine he was. Along with that, they just didn’t think he was good for Katsuki’s image. The guy just looked like an absolute dickhead, and he fucking smoked, for gods sake. 

Their animosity disappeared the moment they overheard Katsuki talking to Kariage about it, though. 

It was Kirishima that heard them. Kariage was staying in the dorms for the night and Kirishima was just walking downstairs to get something to drink, but just as he was about to turn the corner and step into the common room he heard some sniffles and a deep, raspy voice.

“Come on, babe, you’re worryin’ ‘bout this way more than I am.”

“Shut the fuck up, it’s stupid, I know, but I just want you all to get along, I’m fucking tired of everyone talking shit about you everywhere we go and I’m tired of the looks and the way everyone’s arguing.”

“You’re too sweet, baby, just ignore ‘em.”

Kirishima ignored the sound of kisses being pressed against Katsuki’s face and he just went back to his room and sent a message after making a groupchat without Katsuki in it.

Guys, we fucked up.

After telling them what he heard the class changed immediately, they realized they’ve been absolute assholes and completely inconsiderate. They start to spend more time with Kariage, getting to know him and hanging out with him and straight away they fall in love with the guy. He’s a bit of a dick sometimes, sarcastic and with a dry sense of humour, but every time he talks about Katsuki his eyes light up and he gets this sappy smile on his face and they can’t dislike him after seeing that.

The person he gets along the best with is Tokoyami though, and later on Shinsou. They get together and revel in their goth/emo/punk aesthetics.

♡ Villain Kariage AU Pt. 3 ♡

Warning(s): Kidnapping, Emotional Manipulation, Non-con Drugging, Disassociation, Heavily Implied Physical Abuse, Dub-con Kissing and Non-sexual Touching, and, of course, Villain Kariage!!

Part [1], Part [2], Part [3], Part [4]

[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.

I’ve talked about this before on Bunny’s server even before I posted the art I did of Seika, but this is 100% her. Separately, each part of any of her outfits could be considered decent - pretty, even!! However, Seika can and will combine 300 different prints and patterns to create the ugliest fucking outfit ever and she’ll proudly wear it.

Mito adores her girlfriend’s ugly clothes and Kanji loves the bright colors and flower patterns. Kariage honestly finds her fashion sense hilarious, but Katsuki positively vibrates with lividity every time he has to see her eyesore outfits and would 100% set them on fire given the chance.

Honestly I love ironically ugly clothes. Like. Hideous in a special way. If it’s not inherently hideous I’ll match it until it is.
