MHA X real world

Especially when they don’t know me.”

Izuku nods. “Yeah. I understand.”

He hesitates. “I guess it’s okay if people enjoy the idea, as long as they remember it’s their interpretation and not our actual relationship.”

Bakugo looks away. “...Exactly.”

A pause follows. Then Bakugo adds, much more quietly, “And they better not start bothering you about it.”

Izuku blinks. “Kacchan?”

“What?! People can be annoying! I’m not letting a bunch of internet weirdos make your life miserable over some stupid ship!”

Izuku smiles. “Thanks, Kacchan.”

“SHUT UP.”

Despite his protests, Bakugo doesn’t leave. He stays beside Izuku for a little while longer, keeping an eye on the laptop in case anyone decides to bring the subject up again. Not because he cares about the ship. Obviously. He just refuses to let strangers dictate what his relationships mean. And if Kaminari makes one more joke about them getting married, Bakugo is throwing the laptop out the window. AU rule: Bakudeku is a popular fan interpretation in the real world, but it is not automatically canon in the MHA universe. Bakugo and Izuku can acknowledge their complicated history without being forced into a romantic relationship. Their actual feelings remain their own. MHA × Real World AU: A Century Apart

Class 1-A’s Real-World Identities and Disguises

When Class 1-A travels from their universe in 2126 to the real world in 2026, they quickly realize that their biggest problem isn’t the lack of futuristic technology or the absence of Quirks. It’s the fact that they look exactly like characters from a popular anime. People recognize their faces, hairstyles, and even some of their outfits. If they want to explore the real world without attracting attention, they’ll need new identities. After discussing their options, the class agrees to create completely fictional names, ordinary backgrounds, and believable explanations for their unusual appearances. Their aliases have no obvious connection to their actual names, and they avoid mentioning anything about U.A., hero society, or their original universe. They also change their clothing, wear colored contact lenses to make their eyes look like naturally occurring human eye colors, and conceal any visible features that could reveal their Quirks. Their official cover story is that they’re a group of international students visiting the country for a cultural exchange program. They met through an educational organization, and their different appearances are simply genetic variations, personal fashion choices, or cosplay accessories. Their cover story isn’t perfect, but it’s believable enough to help them avoid immediate suspicion. ⸻

Shared Rules for Natural Scents

• None of the students naturally smells like a dessert, flower, or fragrance. Those notes come from ordinary personal-care products. * Their scents remain subtle and realistic rather than filling an entire room. * Their natural body scent varies depending on exercise, temperature, clothing, and personal hygiene. * After training, all of them can smell sweaty, regardless of their usual fragrance. * Clean clothes usually smell like laundry detergent, while worn clothes gradually lose that fresh scent. * Bakugo’s smoky caramel scent comes from his chosen fragrance, not from his Explosion Quirk. * Their scents are personal preferences rather than evidence of their personalities.
