concept: bakugou being aroace & not understanding romance/sexual attraction on a personal level
maybe theoretically, he gets it? but not enough to say that he understands in full. he may even be honest abt not getting it if someone asks directly, but no one ever does.

he doesn't see anything wrong with not getting it— it's not something relevant nor significant to his goals as a hero anyway.
ppl assume it's a personal choice that he never dates, that his standards are very high, but rly he just aint into that lol

bonus points: bakugou never labels himself as anything (queer, aroace, etc), bc he doesn't see the need for labels to be who he is.
so the rumours just circulate that maybe he's gay, celibate, etc. until a self-identifying aroace fan asks, "Maybe, you've never been inclined?"

"Huh," Bakugou hums, pleased that someone posited that for once. She'd just asked him for an autograph & he'd been a lil annoyed at her questions, until he realized her true intentions.
"Yeah, never been into that shit. Not my thing."
She gets teary-eyed, which confirms it.

He says, figuring his guess is right on her issue, "People will judge no matter what you do, especially in public work like ours. I don't give a shit, though, since they're not living my life."
"O-okay, I'll keep that in mind," she agrees, smiling at him. "Thank you. Really."
