Bakugou has nicknames for people. He calls Ashido "Raccoon Eyes", Todoroki "Icy Hot"–
And Kirishima "Shitty Hair".
This is all normal until Kiri and Baku start dating and Kaminari calls him out for it. "Dude, it's not nice to call your boyfriend a 'shithead'."
Bakugou stares, "The fuck are you talking about?"
"Kirishima is your partner, right? So maybe you should call him something... I dunno, affectionate?"
"I do."
"Oh yeah? Name one thing you call Kirishima that isn't an insult."
Bakugou opens his mouth and is cut off by the redhead's voice.
"Hey bros, what's happenin'?" Kirishima jumps over the sofa and lands next to Bakugou, putting an arm around his shoulder, "Anything I miss?"
Kaminari sighs, "I'm telling your boyfriend here that the pet names he gives you are mean! How do they not bother you?"
Kiri blinks, "Because I do the same thing?"
Kaminari tilts his head and Kirishima nuzzles the side of Bakugou's face with his nose, his voice tilting into a childish tone, "He's my widdle bitch."
"Fuck off, bastard." Bakugou shoves at Kirishima halfheartedly but can't hide the smile that makes its way onto his lips. "You're so clingy."
"You love it," Kiri murmurs and kisses his cheek before bouncing up, going towards the kitchen, "and you love me."
"Choke."
"Later." He winks, "And I love you too, asshole." Kirishima blows him a kiss and walks off.
Kaminari is stunned speechless watching the interaction. It isn't normal behavior for two people that are in a relationship to call each other degrading names.
Then again, this is Kirishima and Bakugou. They're the furthest thing from normal.
And he realizes there's nothing wrong with that.

My Hero Academia Fic Rec
i’m not super picky with my mha ships so here’s some of my fav fics for bakudeku, kiribaku, and tododeku! enjoy<3
KiriBaku
An Abundance of Penguin Shit by vixensheart
T | 295.1K | 25/25 | AU no quirks, AU animal handler, Slowburn, penguins, panic attacks
Penguins are overrated, in Katsuki's mind. They smell, they're loud, and they shit every ten minutes. How he ended up working with them, he doesn't know, but he hates it.
Okay, so maybe he needed a pay raise. Sue him. That doesn't mean he enjoys it. It's hard to enjoy getting bit every time he so much as looks at a penguin, after all. Let alone when he tries to handle one.
It certainly doesn't help that he keeps getting paired with Kirishima, who's all smiles and way too damn friendly for his own good.
~
Or, when Katsuki works as an animal handler because he's broke and hungry, and inadvertently warms up to both the penguins, and a certain red-haired boy.
I wasn’t looking for love (but then there you were) by dragontrappedinhumanskin
T | 35.5K | 1/1 | AU college, fluff and angst, strangers to lovers, first dates, public transportation, basketball player kirishima
(past child abuse)
Bakugo always fucking hated riding the subway every week, its crowded, loud and he's tired, but then he starts seeing the same redhead every time.
--
Katsuki blinked in disbelief. What the shit, he’s asking to play rock, paper, scissors. Is he fucking five years old? Who can be this stupid?! And he took his hand off the handle, does he want to fall?
Katsuki glared at him, but the redhead just smiled, and his eyes glint with a challenge, and before Katsuki can really think it through he’s taking his free hand and making a fist in front of himself.
The redhead’s smile turned less challenging and more cheerful, and Katsuki decided that this might not be that bad. He’s going to fucking crush him at rock, paper, scissors, even if it’s a stupid game.
neon season by chonideno
T | 26.3K | 1/1 | AU no quirks, road trips, aged up characters, sharing a bed, happy ending
the car is old and the road is long. nothing truly feels real, gas stations are empty, hotel rooms are on another plane of existence, street lights flicker when they walk past them. the fabric of their relationship changes a bit with every new city they drive through, progressively muffling the buzzing static of their thoughts
or how kirishima and bakugou share food, beds, bodies, and refuse to admit they want it to last
slow it down (go easy on me) by newamsterdam
T | 26.9K | 3/3 | time travel, marriage, future fic, angst with a happy ending
It’s at that moment that Bakugou realizes something is very, very wrong. He glances down at himself and sees scars he’s never had before along his arms, little nicks and scratches he’d never have been oblivious to. When he reaches up, his limbs feel longer, and as he staggers to his feet he stands several centimeters taller than he had, last thing he knew. He glances at the mirror, catches sight of his reflection, and screams.
One of the doors on the opposite side of the room bursts open, steam spilling out into the bedroom. A man crosses the room in quick strides, looking around for some enemy he can’t yet see.
No, not just a man. Kirishima.
When a confrontation with a villain throws Bakugou through time, he's forced to face a future he never imagined, and maybe something he can't leave behind.
the easy parts by chonideno
T | 11.6K | 1/1 | hurt/comfort, canon compliant, scars, insecurity, happy ending
Kirishima made it out alive but his body is covered in wounds that won't heal without leaving marks behind. He hides them away from the sight of others, away from his own, and he hates every part of it. Bakugou watches him reduce his own character to a parody of what it used to be, and he can't stand it.
Or how Bakugou and Kirishima learn to deal with these scars, with themselves, with each other.
Tonight, We’re the Sea by idratherhaveyou
M | 60.7K | 11/11 | AU no quirks, slowburn, hurt/comfort, soft, the ocean
Kirishima goes to a quiet seaside town to take care of his grandmother after she has a bad fall. There he meets Bakugou Katsuki and falls in love.
TodoDeku
sore must be the storm by Pouler (poulerslashes)
T | 10.4K | 1/1 | injury, claustrophobia, near death scenario, hurt/comfort, aged up characters, future fic
(past child abuse)
“We were in a fight,” he said.
“Yes,” Todoroki returned.
“And now we’re trapped?”
“Yes.”
“Under a building.”
“So it would seem.”
Two friends share time and words together as they try to keep a dark situation from turning into a hopeless one.
Summer Stars by PitViperOfDoom
T | 61.2K | 13/13 | hurt/comfort, mutual pining
(past child abuse)
It's been judged safe to send the students of UA home to their families for the first three weeks of summer, much to the relief of everyone whose name isn't Todoroki Shouto. Luckily, Midoriya has a solution for him, and Midoriya Inko has a lot of love to give.
i love you like the sun came out by unreemarkable
T | 46.5K | 6/6 | fluff, angst, developing relationship
(reference child abuse)
Todoroki Shouto is untouchable, until he isn't. What comes after goes a little like this.
[In which Todoroki falls, slowly, steadily, with his eyes wide open.]
Hooked On You by Trenchcoatkitten (love this one bc i just started crocheting like 2 months ago!)
T | 23.3K | 3/3 | crochet AU, college students, getting together, quirkless AU
While looking for a way to get a sweater for his dog, Shouto finds that he may be able to make one himself–and his main way to learn how is from a streamer with gnarled, scarred hands and a very kind voice that Shouto is rapidly coming to like.
OR
The crochet au that nobody asked for but I decided to write because it's like chicken soup for the soul.
prince & prince by Authoress
E | 183K | 22/22 | princes AU, arranged marriage, quirks equal royalty, undercover deku, slowbuild, hurt/comfort
Note to self: don't accidentally fall in love with a prince who's in an arranged marriage keeping your kingdoms from declaring war against each other. Especially when you're spying on him as his manservant.
Checks and Balances by indirectkissesiniceland (literally my fav omg, read the whole series!!)
T | 113.8K | 30/30 | AU college, hockey, cheerleaders, slowburn, friends to lovers
(referenced child abuse)
Izuku Midoriya was a competitive cheerleader up until an injury to his hand made tumbling and stunting an impossibility. It's devastating to think that cheer could be out of his life for good—until a pair of enthusiastic classmates show up at Izuku's dorm room with a signup sheet for a new hockey cheerleading club. All that's left to do is learn how exactly hockey works...and try not to think too much about the prodigious freshman right wing, who's just about the most wonderful person Izuku's ever met.
Shouto Todoroki has eaten, slept, and breathed hockey his whole life. He's got a legacy to live up to with his pro-hockey old man, and he's no stranger to the scrutiny and expectations of his coaches and teammates. It's different now that he plays for UA, though. He's got a former pro coach who sees potential in him and teammates who might actually like him as a person. Then there's the cheerleading captain, who's kind and compassionate in a way Shouto's never known—and who won't rest until Shouto stops dismissing hockey as nothing more than his old man's game.
When He Sees Me by Trenchcoatkitten
no rating | 81.1K | 14/14 | AU no quirks, blind midoriya izuku, dancer todoroki shouto, angst with a happy ending
(referenced child abuse)
“Sorry,” Midoriya says. “I tend to get off in my own little world sometimes. Guess I just talk a lot. Hope that won't bother you.”
“It's fine. I don't talk very much.”
Midoriya grins again, lighting up the booth brighter than the light hanging over the table. “We're a perfect pair, then!”
xx
Todoroki Shouto moves in with someone he's never met, just while he's in town for his show. He's never really known what home could mean, and, well, Izuku's the perfect ball of sunshine to show him.
Basically, this is a Blind!Izuku and Dancer!Shouto AU :)
BakuDeku
i was a little bit lost (but i’m not anymore) by starkliquors
E | 58.7K | 9/9 | AU sugar daddy, ABO dynamics, kid fic, sugar daddy bakugo,
Struggling as a single parent sucks. Especially when he had so many other responsibilities. So when Izuku asks his best friend to help him find a better job, he doesn't expect that to lead to becoming the sugar baby of the Symbol of Victory himself, Ground Zero.
No Perfect Time by ThyNameNotSpoken (read part 2 if u like shinsou hitoshi/kaminari denki, it’s so good)
E | 73.9K | 9/9 | hurt/comfort, dad katsuki, quirkless midoriya, eventual smut, single parents
Katsuki Bakugo has lived his life with no regrets. He goes all in. He doesn’t lose. He doesn’t fail.
Until he does.
Now he's stuck taking care of a baby he swore to protect.
But he needs help. He knows now that he can't do everything alone. That's how Izuku comes into his life. . .and never leaves
Baby Face by VersaceThong (classic “who did this to you” fic)
E | 16.5K | 1/1 | friends to lovers, hurt/comfort, trauma, injury, scar, falling in love, sexual content
A thick bloody gash runs from Deku’s right brow, across the bridge of his nose, over his cheek, and all the way down to the edge of his jaw. A sickening, jagged line etched diagonally over his face, wide enough to miss one of his eyes by mere milimeters.
He almost crashes into Deku, grabbing his arm in one hand and his face in the other. Katsuki’s index and thumb press into either side of his jaw, squishing Deku’s cheeks together.
With a voice so low he doesn’t recognize it as his own, Katsuki grinds out his words.
“Who did this to you?”
______________________________
Or; a villain leaves a scar on Deku's face and Katsuki absolutely loses it.

i generally hate dragon/dragon shifter/etc x human aus where there's some sort of like "dragon hoard" or like the dragon character is super possessive of the other person in the relationship and all consent and like basic autonomy is weird and shit (fairy tail fandom, i'm looking at YOU GUYS, i have NOT forgotten the nalu fanfics that traumatized me when i was 13)
but the one ship i really like it for is kiribaku
like fantasy au dragon shifter kirishima x traveler/barbarian/prince/whatever bakugou
chef's kiss
And it's because literally neither of their personalities allow for any sort of weird consent or lack of autonomy bullshit, their personalities fit the au so well and it's fucking perfect
Like can you really tell me that Kirishima "ray of sunshine, 'i think bakugou is so manly because he just effortlessly does whatever', cries when his friends cry, proud of bakugou's character development" Eijirou could really genuinely look ANYONE in the eye and be like "you have to do what i say bc im a dragon and ur my mate" or whatever bullshit you find in those weird fics
And can you really fucking see Bakugou "told the actual League of Villains to get on their knees and beg him to join them, will only do something if you ask him to do the opposite or challenge him to it, has to be kept in check or he might commit murder who knows" Katsuki even ALLOWING Kirishima to say something like that to, not just him, but ANYONE?
Hell fucking no
Bakugou would like murder him and he knows that, I think it's pretty safe to believe that everything between dragon kirishima and human bakugou is safe, sane, and consensual (that's a joke, while i personally believe that they're older in the fantasy au bc yknow travelling the world on their own, they're still basically 16 or something in the canon so weird stuff is still kinda weird)
So the concept of like
after a long period of travelling together, Kirishima is like "hey man, do you like wanna be bonded together? it's like a dragon thing and it's this whole ordeal and we'll literally be bound by our souls and it's a huge commitment so i get if you don't wanna that's fine, but i just think it would be really cool"
And then Bakugou is like "yeah sure, I literally hate everyone on this fucking planet except you, i'll get magically married to you"
LIKE YES THAT'S THE SHIT I WANT
AND IT'S THE SHIT I GET WITH THIS SHIP
like, oh my god, bakugou being like "yeah i guess you can tag along" but internally he's like holy shit i'm travelling with a fucking dragon
and kirishima sees right through it but lets him have his moment
and them like FIGHTING TOGETHER??? and then one of them gets hurt and it's like "no i promise im okay" and it's like "dude you are literally dying please let me softly wrap this bandage around your hand"
that's all, i would just like to wish a very i love you you are wonderful to all the fanfic writers who have been able to give me this very concept
<3
(ps if you want a rec, Wild and Free with You by dragontrappedinhumanskin on ao3 is my fave xx)
(pps i'll love you forever if you drop your own recs)
edit: here is a link to a collection of fantasy au kiribaku bc ily <3 (it's not my collection but whoever it is that made it is amazing and wonderful)
