It was very bold of you to assume I wouldn’t do ALL of them.  I’ll go in order, and put the last two under a read more, just because this is gonna get pretty long!
EIJIROU  &  KATSUKI :
I .      I mentioned this in a starter, but in the twinverse, Keisuke and Kaito get together before Katsuki and Eijirou do and it makes Katsuki SO MAD that he didn’t have the guts to act on his feelings first  -  because I estimate that he probably didn’t confess his feelings until after the Shie Hassaikai arc, going on a full lecture in one of their rooms because that shit was pretty messed.  He should forgive himself a little for not confessing sooner.  Even in twinverse, it takes a little bit before Katsuki can accept and lean into his bisexuality, and the Bakusquad (as well as Keisuke) are the ones that really help him through that.  As a side note, Katsuki would have taken his liking of Eijirou to the grave in any normal circumstance  -  but in twinverse, he complains about it to Keisuke.  A LOT.  Like: “Fuck, I hate him so much.” “Thennn...  Maybe you should just tell him?” “Absolutely not.  I’m taking this shit to my grave, idiot, oh my fucking god I can’t believe you would suggest that to me.”  (And then he doesn’t take it to his grave because SOMEONE had to go and get himself involved in a huge yakuza bust.)
II .      Katsuki  -  despite not being a touchy person in general  -  is quite tactile, and everything he feels tends to translate into how he does things.  This works really well into their relationship because Katsuki’s not always good with his words, so having his actions speak for him benefits them, especially when they need a bit of stability for one reason or another.  For example, Katsuki will very quickly engage in his love languages of acts of service + physical touch when Eijirou’s struggling with his self-esteem or anything that might be weighing on him;  he’ll offer up his favourite hoodie (knowing damn well he’s not getting it back for a while), ask what Eijirou wants for food, touch up his roots if he needs it, plan out a night in for just the two of them and tell the rest of the Bakusquad to fuck off  -  hell, Katsuki will do pretty much anything, and if Eijirou feels bad, Katsuki makes it clear that he’s not doing it because he has to.  He’s offering.  He wants to.  Let him use his love languages to show he cares, dammit.
III .      Now that my Katsuki gets two cats when he’s out of home, I hope Eijirou knows that both of those cats absolutely adore him  -  and ESPECIALLY Moriko, his Bengal.  That cat will get attached and try to follow Eijirou out of Katsuki’s apartment.  She’s probably even succeeded bolting through the open door once, only to saunter on back when Eijirou doesn’t follow along, because he’s very silly and doesn’t realise he has to follow her.  (And honestly, if they haven’t moved in together at that point  -  which would surprise anyone if they haven’t  -  Katsuki uses Moriko as a half-assed excuse to convince Eijirou to move in with him.  Because if you can’t say no to your pretty gremlin boyfriend, you DEFINITELY can’t say no to his pretty gremlin cat.)
IV .      Eijirou becomes one of the very few people that bypasses Katsuki’s “do not disturb” status on his phone, which he keeps on...  Pretty much all the time.  He also picked a specific text tone and ringtone so he would know it was Eijirou.  (The text tone is like a little game tune from something they both like, and the ringtone is a song Katsuki just felt was the right fit for Eijirou.  You’d be looking at something like “Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)” by Journey, just for that sweet intro.)  This also kind of means he’s more likely to wake up if Eijirou messages him at odd hours of the morning, but he’s not entirely opposed, because he’ll have a look and usually roll back over and go back to sleep  -  and it probably doesn’t happen every night, so he’s not that bothered by it.  It also means that even on the job, he knows when Eijirou’s trying to get in touch with him.  And if you think he’s not about to talk to Eijirou while he’s fighting a villain in the middle of his prefecture in their Pro Hero years, think again, because he’s out here talking about what to do for dinner while beating the shit out of some poor, confused villain.
KYOUKA  &  KATSUKI :
I .      I actually think that Katsuki’s passion for playing music kind of fizzled out by the time he entered U.A. because he conquered the drums, but joining the A-Band and spending more time with Kyouka means that he was looking at brand new challenges.  After all, it’s a whole other thing to play with other people!  And I think that Kyouka is the one who really sparks his desire to play music more often again  -  which is why Katsuki is quickest to turn to her when he feels up for jamming, and sometimes, he’ll even try and get her to teach him something new on a different instrument.  Drums are where it’s at, but learning guitar with Kyouka because “I gotta be good at any of the damned things in case someone’s gotta fill in” is a pretty good excuse for him to hang out with her for longer.
II .      If there’s something Kyouka wants but, for whatever reason, can’t seem to get her hands on, Katsuki makes a note of it and does his best to get it for her.  Oh, she wants this vinyl record from one of her favourite bands but vinyl’s expensive?  Katsuki will get it and give it to her personally.  Tickets to a concert that’s coming through town?  It might take a while to save, but hey, his parents are pretty generous, and he’ll get two tickets  -  because oh, you know, he was interested too, he just accidentally got a second and overheard she wanted to go, and he’s not about to waste the second ticket.
III .      I think especially after the Joint Training Arc, Katsuki likes to get Kyouka involved in his training  -  between their Quirks, it’s almost like a “seek and destroy” tactic they can employ, and Katsuki definitely wants to practice this more since he doesn’t usually have someone around to communicate locations of targets quietly.  Beyond that, he also wants to help her improve her close-quarters combat.  Of course he can step in when he’s there, but when he’s not, he wants to be absolutely certain she has the reflexes and capability to fend off even someone like himself, with a very powerful and up-close Quirk.  This is also very lowkey his love language of acts of service seeping through  -  the training is something that will ultimately make Kyouka’s job as a Hero easier down the track, even if it’s exceptionally hard at the moment, because Katsuki refuses to hold back.  He does, at least, remember some healthy snacks and drinks packed with electrolytes for when they finish training together.
IV .      Honestly, they probably have a collaborative playlist together on Spotify, just to share music to each other by adding the songs whenever they feel like it.  Katsuki usually adds alternative metal with a few outliers:  you’ll see songs like “Vandalize” by ONE OK ROCK and “Zombie” by The Cranberries, but also songs like “midsummer sunset” by Quruli and “Ghost” by Au/Ra and Alan Walker.  Katsuki always takes the time to listen to any of Kyouka’s additions among his.  And, more often than not, those recommendations and additions end up in his other playlists, which he refuses to tell the rest of the Bakusquad just how he found them.  (Because that means they’ll discover their joint playlist, and he’s not ready to deal with that.)
TARTAGLIA  &  KATSUKI :
I .      Considering they both have a lot of knowledge in weaponry but have that one weapon they aren’t as proficient at (bow for Childe, polearm for Katsuki), I feel like a good chunk of their sparring sessions end up being practice at the same time.  It wouldn’t be surprising if they had sword sparring sessions and that either!  Katsuki is always ready to challenge Childe’s battle knowledge, and if he can eventually get the upper hand on the Harbinger and get the bragging rights to beating him at something  -  even if it’s when Childe doesn’t use his Delusion in their spars  -  then he’ll go at it with everything he’s got.  Plus, it means he keeps his knowledge sharp while he’s away from home.  (And in a way, the disastrous constant vaporisation and consequent destruction of everything around them is a little reminder of home, too.)
II .      Katsuki is slowly keeping tabs on how many times Childe has gone out of his way to treat him to something.  There’s two reasons for it:  for one, he’s still acutely aware that while they share an intense rivalry and a brotherly bond at the same time, Childe is still a Harbinger, and Katsuki knows better than to be unaware of anything that could be potential leverage.  On the other hand, though, he’s just making sure he knows what he owes.  Katsuki doesn’t like being treated to things without exchanging something back.  Sometimes it’s Mora that he’s earned from his commissions, sometimes it’s battle knowledge that Childe might not know if he’s never been to certain regions, but beyond these, Katsuki is still trying to find other adequate ways to repay Childe’s kindness.  It’s a delicate balance in his mind  -  there is an intense distrust of Fatui and Harbingers especially, but strip that away, and he does harbour trust in Childe specifically.  He’s still trying to figure out where to put the line.
III .      If they’re both in the Serenitea Pot, I think Katsuki likes to find a quiet spot to sit with Childe and discuss...  Anything and everything.  Sure, he lives for the challenge and competition and battle, but the Serenitea Pot puts his mind at ease in a way that he doesn’t experience often outside of it, and it’s a great chance to have a conversation beyond their usual topics.  It kind of encourages Katsuki to open up more about who he really is past the adventurer from Natlan.  Because of that, being in the Serenitea Pot would be the moment where Katsuki talks more of home and family  -  and how he’s an only kid, so having Childe around is like having that annoying big brother he never actually had.
IV .      Katsuki never really learned to fish because of Natlan’s landscape, and he never got to visit Inazuma to see his extended family before they shut off their borders, so he’d ask Childe to teach him how.  He makes the excuse that fish are a perfect source of protein and minerals, and that isn’t entirely wrong  -  but really, it’s a very quiet reason to spend more time with the Harbinger.  Considering how long it can take to get a bite, I think Childe will be able to deduce that reason really quickly.
