As much as you love Bakugou, he can sometimes do or say little things that upset you more than he would think. Most of the times it’s not even meant to be directed to you, other times he’s upset within other factors, and you just so happen to be in the crossfire.
He says something to you before you guys are headed out to go to Denki’s pool party. It was snippy and a little rude, and it’s enough to make you huff and become silent for the remaining time in the house. He tries to ask you little questions on the car ride over to Denki’s, but you either one-word him, or just make a noise in acknowledgment. You let him hold your bare thigh, surprisingly, but he knows it’s only because you don’t feel like speaking to him to ask him to remove it.
But when you get there, you practically haul ass it to the pool, stopped abruptly by a big hand encircling your wrist. Bakugou pulls you back to where he sits on one of the beach chairs, looks at you from over his black tinted glasses with a frown,
“Oi, did you put on any sunscreen before we left?” He asks, eyes you up and down, tries not to ogle at the bathing suit you didn’t let him admire much before putting your bathing suit slip on in the house. You frown at him and answer quickly,
“Yea, ‘course I did.” But he can tell that you’re either lying or don’t remember by the way your brows furrowed and your eyes slightly wandered off in thought. He only huffs and tugs you a little harder until you’re forced to sit in front of him, legs splayed on either side of the chair as you place your hands down in between your bodies.
“No ya didn’t.” Bakugou grunts, before digging into your packed beach bag and pulls out the sunscreen. You don’t fight him on this either, just stick your arms out for him, move your hair when he lathers up your neck. He grabs your ankles in his hands and slathers your legs in the sunscreen, and as you watch him and his intense focus, you can’t help but love how gentle he is with you. How rough and powerful palms glide across your legs, how thick fingers knead the sunscreen into your thighs and the sole of your foot, even if you don’t need it there.
He tells you to turn around, and you do. You can hear him squirting more into his hands, looking around bashfully at how your friends all smile at the two of you, lovingly jealous at how he dotes over you. You have to bite back a smile when he finishes, and places a soft kiss on both of your shoulder blades, your nape, behind your ear.
When you stand, you go to tell him thank you, but he pulls you down once more. Warm palms encase your cheeks, and he’s slathering your face down in sunscreen next. He twists your cheeks this way and that, just to hear you grumble, which makes him chuckle under his breath. He brushes his thumbs across your brows, smooths his fingertips across your forehead, pats at your chin and the creases of your nose, before he calls that he’s finished.
He pecks at your lips once, twice, and you allow him, even kissing him back for one or two of the kisses. He pushes his glasses up into his hair, his shiny forehead that’s tinted white from the sunscreen damn near blinding you.
“Sorry I was being a dickhead to you. You didn’t deserve it.” Bakugou grumbles, blinks at you with those stupidly pretty eyes that show how sincere he is. You stare down at him for a while before you hum, leaning forward to capture his lips in one last kiss.
“Be mean to me again and I’ll bite your arm off.” You whisper against him with a smile, listening to his surprised laughter bubbling from out of him. He knocks his forehead against your own, grinning, and promises that he’ll bite off the other arm too, just to save you the trouble.

Does plugging my own post count as an ask /j
I saw this earlier but forgot to read it so thank you!! Here's the post.
I really agree with everything you said. But I also very much agree with @void-detective and I'll add some of my own perspective, as a queer person who was raised religious and has that trauma because of how I was raised in that religion, if you don't mind? More under the cut because I ended up typing a lot:
Something a lot of people forget, or don't know, when it comes to formerly/currently religious queer people and their trauma/internalised homophobia is that it often manifests in one of two ways:
1. this thing is Bad/Sinful, and therefore No One should be this Bad/Sinful thing because I don't have the freedom to be this thing.
Or, 2. This thing is fine when other people do it but when I do it, it's Bad and Sinful, so I am fine with other people being queer but the idea that I could be queer is off the table.
The second thing is where the internalised homophobia comes in, and queer people who were raised religious can deal with this their entire lives. I still have bouts of this kind of doubt, where I see nothing wrong with being gay but my insecurities and religious panic forces me to believe - just for a second - that I am wrong in how I love, but no one else. (It's incredibly isolating when it happens and that's the point - these people who use religion as their excuse for hatred and bigotry want you to feel isolated when you exist in a way they wrongfully believe is bad or sinful.) And the point with internalised homophobia is that it's not a conscious choice to be homophobic. It's not me going "man I hate gay people"; internalised homophobia exists even when acceptance and support is actively chosen, even when allyship is actively pursued. Internalised homophobia affects your behaviours, your minute thought processes, and even your perception of yourself, which is why it's so harmful and why queer people will struggle with it so much, especially if it's reinforced by "religion". Internalised homophobia is me going "I love gay people, I love being gay, I wanna be intimate with women and marry a woman some day, but what if I'm horrible for that". It functions the same way any kind of conditioned bigotry functions, and it is sometimes so silent and so subtle it can go completely unnoticed, which is especially damaging.
I think Luis would very much fall into the second category. He has a kind heart, and as you pointed out, he has lots of compassion that we see very prominently in the game. He would fully support people who are queer, he would not see queer people as lesser, he would fight for queer rights and he would vehemently disagree with the "religious" idea that gay people are bad/wrong/going to hell/etc. But when it comes to his own identity as a queer man, he'd struggle a lot. He might understand that he is bisexual, but he would be terrified to pursue that (he might do what I did for a while when I was first figuring things out and go "oh I have attraction to the same gender but I also have attraction to not the same gender so I will only feed the latter kind of attraction and hope the former fades away). His overcompensation with the whole being "quite the ladies' man" and "such a loss to all the ladies of the world" is especially indicative of this. And he does openly flirt with Leon in the game - but when the personality he has put forward is Charismatic and Charming, that means Flirting is Safe, because then it can be passed off as a game, as teasing, as men joking with each other as friends. But if Leon ever reciprocated, I think Luis would shut down, and close himself off. The fun he has in flirting with Leon is that Leon never reciprocates and never shows that he might feel anything back for Luis (until Luis is dying lol). Luis can have fun, but when it comes to reckoning with what he truly feels for another man - especially a man like Leon, who is so seemingly Macho that Luis probably thinks he's homophobic - that's Too Far, and he wouldn't be able to go through with it.
Now, in an AU where Luis lives and Leon does reciprocate while Luis is alive, I think Luis would definitely pursue him over time, that he would still deal with the doubts of his religious trauma but he'd be able to manage it with Leon at his side. However, in game, Luis dies before he gets the chance to see Leon return his feelings, because Leon is a stubborn pos who represses his emotions around everyone. And I think if Leon were to have flirted back with Luis or tried to make a move on him in the span of the game, Luis would try to play it off as a joke, to reaffirm that oh he has no issue with gay people but he's not gay, even when he knows he is. And Leon would just move on and Luis would be left suffering in his internalised guilt. Obviously we don't get to see any of this in the game so it is of course headcanons and analysis and interpretation only, but this is how I have always seen his character and how I tend to write him in my fics.
Sorry for all the words Eric but this is truly a fun discussion I like having especially when it's about our beloved Luis shgjhdfg

Okay episode 3 of Doctor Cha continues to deliver
"When are you getting a divorce?" what a good question indeed. I'm wondering how long the secret affair storyline will be stretched out for. Or will Seun Hi realize In Ho just is the worst. And the people Jeong Suk has in her corner are all great, her mother, her friend, and the surgeon she had.
