Very few people know this but Bakugou has a bird. And not just any bird, but Bakusatsukotori! The most bad ass fucking bird, a parrot that knew curse words (and most of them were the hag's fault!). He was the best... except one thing.

Any time Deku came by his house, for any reason, that stupid bird would start cooing at the nerd and call him cute! And only Deku! Anyone else, Bakustatsukotori would insult to the moon and back (including him) but the dumb bird brain was so sweet on Deku.

It was infuriating. Especially when his mom started cackling as Katsuki tried and failed to shut the bird up.

So long as the shitnerd doesn't come by, his bird was the most ferocious pet on the block so visits became sparse unless necessary.

Bakustatsukotori died while they were in junior high and Izuku was the only one he invited to his bird's funeral.

Bakugou hoped the damn bird was happy, he let that Deku cry all over him as the nerd mourned the bird.

(What Katsuki wouldn't admit to is that there were tears in his eyes too. Not like he would let the nerd know)

After moving into the dorms, Izuku came up to Katsuki one day and asked if it was all right if he had a small memorial for Bakustatsukotori. Obviously Bakugou said no... but Midoriya could come up to his room to see the one Katsuki had set up but only on the anniversary of the bird's death! It's not like the nerd can come by whenever he felt like it!

Mitsuki and Masaru hwve to leave on a trip, so and Bakusatsukotori has to live in the dorms for a week.

Everyone is terrified of him until Izuku shows up and...

The damn bird flies over to him to cuddle and coo about what a cute nerd he is. Izuku's ears turn red but he takes it in stride because he's learned from Auntie that the reason why Little Bird Explosion Murder is like that is because Katsuki is like that in private too.
