This might be kinda a long rant, but I've been overanalysing Sero and Katsuki's relationship a lot and need people to know. Ofc its a rare pair ship so not a lot of content of them interacting in canon media together, however that doesn't mean their relationship lacks nuance like most ppl make it out to be.

It's cute and silly to think of the banter and how Sero is usually just teasing Katsuki or trying to rile him up with his comments, but there's also more than that. Boiling it down to such a simple dynamic doesn't define them, and although they might not be the closest of best buddy friends I think Sero understands Katsuki A LOT.

For example in this panel where Katsuki is swamped with fans of his fight with AFO, Shinso asks Sero first and foremost why Katsuki seems uneasy. Since they've been friends for a while Sero knows that Katsuki likes attention but not to be overwhelmed by many people all at once.

Sero also manages to regulate Katsuki in multiple scenes where he points out or makes him realise that he's not acting right and needs to chill.

Sero also regulates Katsuki by reminding him to not push himself too hard. When everyone went back to UA Sero was the first and only person to question Katsuki for being present in school, obviously implying that he's worried about his health. Since Katsuki was wounded really badly this makes sense, however none of the other classmates or teachers took time to check on Katsuki or question if it's even safe for him to be out of the hospital.

Yep, he's a missing kit I repurposed. He's going to be showing up in AVoS era and beyond! ShadowClan is SUPER scarce on cats.

The story behind the funny name is that Pinenose has a kitten who is killed in the canon Great Battle, who is not named. We just see Tallpoppy bringing her the body in Last Hope. OotS was actually planned to be the last arc of Warrior Cats, so the fans made up the name "Happykit."

When Kate received word of it, she thought it was a nice name. So for a while its name was Happykit.

Then, when the new team took over and eventually made the WC website, they 'paved over' that information by giving the kitten an official name-- Weaselkit. So Happykit became Weaselkit.

For BB I've decided that they were TWO separate kittens! They're the children of Pinenose and Owlclaw. Weaselkit was killed brutally during the Great Battle, and Happykit survived because of Hallowflight's efforts. The stress of this event eventually lead to his parents splitting up, and his mother's second litter was sired by her new mate, Spikefur.

Happypaw is the oldest apprentice in Sleekwhisker's little rebel group. He has the skills to be a warrior, but defies orders so often that it's delayed his ceremony. He chose the name Happyface for himself when he joined the Kin.
