Hello and welcome to the official KariKatsu Week Post! This event was put together by so many lovely people in the KariBaku discord server, and will take place February 8th to February 14th, focusing on any and everything Kariage and Katsuki-centric!
For those unaware, Kariage is Katsuki’s old middle school friend with the curly undercut. A niche interest and a rarepair, true, but crazier things have been shipped, haven’t they?
For those curious or wanting to participate, this event will be very casual, mostly due to the time frame. No money will be made off the content created for the week, and all submissions are accepted from full-on chaptered fics and drabbles to sketches and fully rendered artworks. As long as Kariage and Katsuki are the main focus and relationship, whether romantic or platonic, then you’re good!
As for the prompts, here they are!
Tumblr media
These are just places to start, though! Feel free to take these and run, tear them to shreds, or set them on fire and dance on the ashes. Stick to these prompts, create your own, or do a mix of both, as long as Kariage and Katsuki are front and center!
I can't wait to see all the amazing things you guys will make! Happy creating!! ♡

what is ur inspiration
Okay, so!! Pretty much, even before all the Katsucrew and KariBaku was on my mind, I was obsessed with the idea of Katsuki like. having a whole separate life than we see in canon. I mean, it's not that hard to imagine, considering we've seen next to nothing about his personal, outside-of-UA life in canon. It would make sense to some people, since it's kind of accepted canon at this point that Katsuki's whole life revolves around Heroics, but I just never vibed with that thinking, y'know? I mean. Katsuki's a teenager, he's got to have some sort of outside life, right?
And when I started thinking about that, it kind of just combined with my personal HC about Katsuki being gay, and my mind immediately went Secret Boyfriend! Secret Boyfriend! Secret Boyfriend!
That thought alone was enough to get me pumped up, but before KariBaku I was a pretty staunch KiriBaku shipper, so all I thought of was perhaps making up an OC. But none of the ones I made seemed to fit the bill, and I kind of just ended up with this half-thought out concept that was just. going nowhere.
And then. And then. Oh my god, dear lord, I miraculously found what was, at the time, the one and only KariBaku fic out there in English, on AO3. Let me tell you, @pyrrhicwildfire was an absolute genius because that fic dragged me into rarepair hell and I have yet to leave. It was just something about the vibes of that fic, the banter, it stuck to my brain and refused to let go.
And because I was absolutely obsessed, after far too many rereads to count, I put my detective hat on and went searching. And I struck gold. I found this little corner of Japanese, and an even smaller corner of Korean, BNHAtwit and it was. It was phenomenal. I came across too many fantastic artworks, and in search for more, I learned the hashtags, learned the shipnames they used for KariBaku on the Asian side of Twitter, and I just kept finding more and more. And then when there wasn't more? I turned to Pixiv, overturned that for any scrap of content I could find, and then to Pinterest I went.
I really did become obsessed with this ship within a week. It was the greatest thing I'd ever found, and I was so fucking determined to share it!! And now we have a whole server, and amazing content that I look at every day of my life.
This whole thing was such an experience. And the fact that people actually love the 'verse I created out of a character once virtually unknown outside of those little corners Japanese and Korean anitwit, and a bunch of cobbled together OCs I thought up from low-res screenshots I took of the Aldera classroom, it's just. There's no words for how grateful I am to all the people who support this little monster of a concept I created, and the journey this ship took me on was just simply amazing.
I know I kinda deviated from your original ask, but yeah. In general my starting inspo was just the thought of Katsuki with a secret boyfriend, and then pyrrhicwildfire became my ultimate inspiration in writing this ship, and now all my friends in the KariBaku server are what keep me loving this ship <33

For your undercut verse, how did you come up with the names for Bakugou's friends from junior high? I love them!!!
Ooh!! Anon, how did you know I absolutely obsess over names?? Anyways!! For all the names, I use this handy-dandy little website called Tangorin. It's the absolute love of my life and it's saved me SO much time.
For most of the crew, I started out by picking out certain traits I wanted to be represented in their name, whether that pertains to physical appearance, personality, or Quirk. However, for some, I also picked names that were thematically sound or had certain reasoning behind the naming. Both of these are very reliant upon the kanji I use to spell the names, as well.
There are plenty of examples within the Katsucrew alone for all these reasonings, so I might as well just go over all of them, huh?
So, with Kariage, his name was actually pretty easy to come up with. For him, I was looking for a name with any particular meaning, I just wanted one that I could validly take Kariage from. As some of you already know, that's the name the Japanese fandom came up for him, courtesy of his hairstyle, and it's since become decently known in our little corner of the fandom. And thus, if you rearrange the name I created for him in the Western way, it'll give you ashiKARI AGEi.
Unintentionally, however, I did give him a name that represented him in some way. His surname has kanji that give meanings that align with his personality (relaxed, quiet), and his Quirk (in how he must apply many techniques, and often uses it to trick opponents). His first name also gives insight to what he'd do as an Underground Hero (hunt down criminals, raid villain bases, gather intel.)
With Kanji, her name came about due to it having a primarily thematic purpose. The kanji I used to spell it have the meaning of perfect motive, which in terms of importance to the story, emphasize how she, before all else, is the one who inspires Kariage to be the very best he can be. She is the reason he wants to become a Hero, and for the longest time, she was the only thing keeping him going. It's a pretty minor thing, since not many people care for the meanings of names in a story, but it was one of the first details I ironed out, and one that I believe makes the storyline just that much more enjoyable for me.
As for Yasushi, the name I settled on actually wasn't the first one I thought up for him! The first I had in my notes was actually Sashi Terunobu, and admittedly, I do like how this one aptly described his Quirk in the name (quite literally meaning finger and stretch). However, when I went through much investigation on whether Katsuki's childhood friends had canon names, I actually found an info book that listed Yasu's canon surname as Dehisa, and had the first part of his given name (Ya) shown. Since I didn't quite have a lot of room to work with, I did the best I could, and thus ended up with the name I have for him now. While not as exact as the first name I thought up, I really like how his canon surname has the meaning of long time, as it comes across as rather accurate in regards to how long he and Katsuki have known each other.
With everyone else, I had a good amount of wiggle room, though! Seika's pretty unique in how long it took for me to pick her name. In the end, I settled on the names I thought fit her best. Her surname described her most prominent trait (large eyes) and personality (radiant, sparkling) pretty well, and her first name did so much justice in regards to explaining her Quirk on the surface level (blue/green vortex), so while it took some time to settle on something good, I'm happy with what I decided for her.
Henshuu's name was the most difficult to decide, I think, out of everyone. Many of the meanings I wanted to include in her name weren't quite compatible with kanji, so it was hard finding loopholes and attempting to piece together something cohesive. In the end, her surname effectively described her Quirk (salt bubbles) and her given name included both a reference to her appearance (braid/plaits) and a surface level understanding of her personality (in how people tend to flock around her).
Out of everyone, I think Mito's name is the most cohesive. It's actually quite funny how succinct the meaning of her surname is in regards to her Quirk (literally fire hand, I love it), and her first name is rather lovely in how it potentially describes her hair (beautiful orange). Overall, I like the simplicity of Mito's name most out of everyone, excepting maybe Kanji.
Lastly, Hifue's name is one that gave me a bit of trouble. Her last name was found quite easily, actually, and I do feel quite proud of how it outlines her Quirk (small, float and mind, air are the most prominent meanings, which is pretty great since her Quirk is literally floating small things through the air with her mind so). Her first name is one I wasn't quite satisfied with because it was really a last minute decision, but it grew on me after a while. After all, it does tie into how her Quirk works (two fingers must be outstretched for her Quirk to work), and I now adore how much it describes her now that I've fleshed out her character and story a bit more (flourish, prosper, and splendor are all very apt, in my personal opinion.)
Anyways, I feel like that's everything!! In summary, I pretty much picked certain traits and vibes I wanted to shine through and went with it!! I'm really happy you love their names just as much as I do, Anon. They were created through the labor of love, and I'm happy that they resonate with you!! <33

Ooh, okay so it’s been a good. Three months since I’ve posted anything haha whoops. Anyways, I’m just posting this to let everyone (who’re not in the server) that I’m still alive - I just have not been very active. Yikes.
Yeah, so my lack of activity is mostly because my work schedule kind of ramped up and my diploma work has gotten increasingly more difficult (sigh). My computer, which is what I use 99% of the time to write with, also broke and I’m not sure when I’ll be able to get it fixed. In the time since I haven’t posted, my adoration for both KariBaku and the Katsucrew waned enough that it went on the backburner of my interests, especially since I got super into Attack on Titan for a good while (still am, to be honest).
However!! I’ve recently (aka like. two days ago) reawakened my obsession with this little ‘verse of mine so!! I’m not gonna make any promises about how much I’ll post, or when I can finally get around to actually fleshing out my fics, but I’ll be answering ALL of the asks I have in my inbox (some that’ve been there for months, sheesh) and I’ll be making attempts at posting more, including some of the backlog of drafts I have!!
So, yeah, in summary: I love each and every one of you guys for putting up with my lack of posting and lapse of interest <33

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.

I am banging my fists on a table as we speak. Oh my god, I just?? I really like this?? I remember when you messaged me about this, and I was super excited to see how you handled this!! To be honest, I never expected Kariage and KariBaku to get as popular as it did. When I first started shipping it back in August-ish, literally no one I knew had heard of it. Only a few Japanese and Korean writers and artists had works spread across the web, and @pyrrhicwildfire had their fic on ao3 that came out last year, which helped me get hooked.
Now, we’ve got a whole ass Discord server for KariBaku, so many talented artists and writers creating amazing content every freaking day, and a doc for Kariage and his rise to fame?? Please, I am so happy that you made this!! It was absolutely perfect, even for a work-in-progress, and I can’t thank you enough for making it <33
The Kariage Master Doc
It is a somewhat collective from of Kariage and his character. It's still unfinished but I'm planing on adding onto it. Such as expanding on the history of the character and other smaller aspects. Going more into depth with his dynamic and the versatility that it holds.

WOW, so I finally got around to rereading this and lemme tell you,, it is just as painful as the first time you talked about this concept on Discord. Like?? Wow, Gab, really tearing my heart to shreds here.
ANYways, yeah this is just?? So supremely sad, to be honest. There’s just something so depressing about reading stories and concepts where characters dying preventable deaths, and all I can think of is the build up to this, you know? How many times Katsuki must’ve asked, told, pleaded for Kari to give up his habit, only to have Kari laugh and tell him it’s not that serious as he lights up another cigarette, as his voice gets deep and scratchy, as he gains a cough that never really goes away, until he can barely breathe after a few steps and can’t laugh unless he wants to pass out.
Then, Kari gets the diagnosis and there’s,, there’s nothing they can do. No medicine is working, it’s too far along, they’re not given hope - they’re given a time limit. Maybe Katsuki’s mad, at first. After all, he told Kari time after time after time, looking out the corner of his eye as Kari smoked, breath raspy and fingers shaking: That’s gonna be the death of you.
He wished he wasn’t right, for once in his fucking life.
Kari dies and takes some part of Katsuki with him, some integral, important part of Katsuki that lets him feel, lets him live. It’s buried alongside Kari in a casket that won’t ever open, and Katsuki maybe feels a little like he, too, died.
But his heart still beats and his lungs still breathe and his stomach still grumbles, and Katsuki feels like his body has betrayed him. Because how can he still be alive, when the one person who actually saw him is gone, buried six feet under, never to be seen again, never to laugh or cry or love again?
Katsuki’s alive, but it doesn’t feel like it. Not when the colors he sees are dull, and he feels rooted to solid ground. Even when he becomes the Number One Hero, people cheering out all around him, he can’t muster up a smile, can barely mutter through a scripted speech before he’s beating it. He sits a home, dressed in his half-done up Hero Costume, and thinks about how he’d give it all up for Kari. He’d stop being a Hero, leave the people who call themselves his friends and family, shed his name and every aspect of his identity just to have a chance to talk to Kari even once.
But the real world doesn’t work that way, and he wakes the next day and continues the constant cycle of sorrow.
Anyways, yeah this broke my heart, hehe </3
BAKUGOU HEADCANON 27
[ 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.

slams head into table repeatedly Oh my gOD??? I just,, I’m,, I’m love.
Like, hello? The concept of Kari not really caring about losing his Quirk cuz it only really fucked him up and he only ever wanted to go to art school?? Interesting, and I am so intrigued about the idea of people not really feeling like their Quirk is integral to their existence and people who don’t feel lost when they lose their Quirk. But!! The fact that Kari thinks only of Katsuki after is just,, immaculate.
Kari being scared that Katsuki won’t accept his little crush now that he’s Quirkless is just so 😭 please I’m so sad. But then!! He’s just so desperate that he takes a chance and I am just clutches chest dramatically swooning over how Katsuki so readily accepts him because he doesn’t care.
Kari is Kari, Quirk or not.
And, ugh, the absolute flavor of having the Bakusquad being utter assholes? Delicious, even more so since Katsuki is actually, reasonably mad at them. But the moment he just drops his squad because they fucked around too much and messed with shit they shouldn’t even touch? Very sexy for him to ditch them, in my honest opinion 😌
Headcanon that bakugou dates someone quirkless and everyone is super confused but also invested. There are bets and private group chats and someone has done a background check on them. Someone definitely tried to check BK for any type of manipulation. (That poor soul is no longer with us).
I’m going to go and make this Karibaku, if that’s alright.
Okay, so.
Imagine if Kariage lives in a really rough neighbourhood, so he’s always been around illegal substances and black-market quirk-related content. And then he hears talk of bullets that can erase quirks, apparently they’ve started circulating around the villain communities, but they’re incredibly rare and have barely been used.
But then, one night, he’s walking home from Katsuki’s place, it’s the weekend and so he finally got the chance to go see him again since Kat is always busy at UA, and before he knows it he hears fighting in an alley, and just as he’s about to rush by the entrance to it, he hears a gunshot and suddenly there’s pain in his leg. A stray bullet.
It’s all a little bit blurry after that. 
Before he knows it, he’s in the hospital and he’s being told his quirk is gone.
Fine. Whatever. He wasn’t using it anyways since he was going to art school and it was only making his goddamn asthma worse.
But fuck.
Katsuki.
Now, he knew the blond wasn’t the way he used to be in middle school, he knew that his opinions on quirkless people used to be complicated and had since changed. But he just couldn’t get the damn thought out of his head, what if he had lost his chance before he even got to try and make it work with his friend?
He’d had a pathetic crush on him since Middle School. Katsuki knew about it, he was sure of it. They’d been dancing around each other for years.
And now... he didn’t know if the dance would continue.
He didn’t know if Katsuki would want him now that he’s... well, useless.
But then, the next day, Katsuki is right there by his side, holding his hand all the while he’s calling him an idiot for not being more careful.
Kariage pulls him in and kisses him before Katsuki manages to get himself kicked out.
After that, they officially starts dating.
The last thing he expected was for Katsuki to become increasingly more and more pissed off as they got further into the relationship.
At first, he figured he was the problem, maybe he’d done something.
But soon Katsuki told him.
“Told those stupid fuckers I was dating ya a while back cause they kept asking who I was talking to. They asked if you’re in the hero course and when I said no they asked if you have a weak quirk or something, I said you’re quirkless. They’ve been fuckin’ placing bets on how long it’s gonna take for me to dump you cause of it and shit.”
Kariage just shrugs and pulls him in, kissing him and hugging him until he finally calmed down.
A few days later, though, he gets a message on his IG. 
After a short chat, they finally end up asking the question they’ve clearly been meaning to ask, “so, how did you get Blasty to date you? What did you do to him?”
The moment Kariage texts Katsuki about what had happened, his boyfriend is trying to figure out what the fuck is going on.
Only then does he find out the lack of faith his friends have in him, the doubts and the judgement. 
Whatever. He doesn’t need those fuckers.
All he needs is Kariage. And he has him - quirk or not.

The fact that I somehow missed this actual masterpiece is a crime and a damn shame and I cannot believe myself. Just?? The way you write them,,, absolute perfection. I don’t know how to describe it, but their interaction, their voices, their banter are all supremely immaculate and I’m in pure awe.
Just,,, Katsuki realizing that knowing someone for as long as he has Kari means they know your next move maybe even better than you do, Kari’s incessant teasing, them cuddling?? Bye, I am simply deceased, they are far too adorable for this world. Kari just opening his arms and baiting Katsuki into hugging him?? Perfection, I love it.
Katsuki not pulling away from Kari’s kisses because he craves affection is just,,, adorable. The whole thing with Kari being weaker than Katsuki but still holding him anyways 😭 please, Your Honor, they’re in love. And the part where Kari teases Katsuki about Deku is fantastic, especially the part where he insinuated Deku was salty he wasn’t the one dating Katsuki - that had me laughing so hard.
And the end?? Where Kari takes such pride in dating Katsuki to the point where he brags about it and the whole “I’d never, Katsuki”?? Please, I am deceased, he is just?? so in love with Katsuki and he’s proud of it and he’ll never deny Katsuki what he wants because he’s just?? so?? in love??
Once again, you slap me in the face with your amazing writing and characterizations and I am!! so!! grateful!! <33

“Let me guess…Midoriya?”
Katsuki throws his bag at Kariage, who catches the thing with a stupid-ass grin. That’s the annoying thing about living with and dating someone who’s known you since you were a middle schooler— they know you far, far too well to not predict your movements. He says, “Stop guessing my problems for the day, bastard.”
“But it’s such a fun game,” Kariage teases, setting aside his bag on the couch before opening his arms wide. “C’mon, tell me.”
“You seriously think I’m letting you hold me?”
“Are you saying you can’t take being held by me?”
Katsuki’s eye twitches at the obvious bait.
