Bakugo x Lore 🍋 (Bakugo x OC)

Chapter- 46 Conference +

Before the conference got into full swing, Lore nodded over to Shinso and said, "I like your new costume Toshi. The purple matches your eyes."

"Thanks. I didn't design it."

"Who did?" Kaminari asked nosily. 

Shinso smirked, "I want to be an asshole and say it was an ex or something. I bet you'd get jealous, wouldn't you?"

Kaminari's eyes narrowed. He ripped his hand away from Shinso's leg. "No, I wouldn't."

Shinso snorted as he draped his arm over the backside of Kaminari's chair. At the public display of affection, the extroverted blonde smiled to himself and shifted a bit closer to Shinso's body. 

"My pops designed it. I didn't care, but he said my taste was too much like my dad's. Thus he ordered this."

"I can see that happening," Lore laughed as she asked, "Has Eri seen it?"

"I think so? I don't know. It's not like I walk around my parents' house in my hero costume."

Kaminari swiveled back in his seat and asked eagerly, "How is she by the way? Last I heard she is at UA, right?"

Shinso smiled as he thought about his little adoptive sister. "Yeah. In the support course. She didn't want to fight after everything she's been through."

"Yeah, I get that! I haven't seen her since we graduated. I'm glad to hear she's doing so well! I bet she's beautiful!"

Shinso's cheeks were dotted with pink as he muttered, "You could come with me one day...when I go see her."

Kaminari blushed as he dropped his eyes to his fingers that were having a thumb war in his lap. In a shy voice, he said, "Yeah...I think I'd really like that." They hadn't talked about meeting each other's family yet, so it was a big step for the brand-new couple.

Shinso put his hand over the top of Kaminari's and their fingers wove together. He let him play with his fingers as Hawks and a few members of the hero commission walked into the room. Conversations quieted as Hawks flew himself up to the microphone. 

He had his typical flirtatious smile on his lips. "Yoohoo! Is this thing on?" he tapped it a few times before grinning at the large group of heroes. "Oh goodie. I have all of your attentions. Firstly, thank you all for arriving today. Even though I did not specify in my email what topic I wished to discuss, I am more than sure you are all aware that this conference pertains to the League of Villians."

Lore's body stiffened beneath Bakugo's arm, and he looked down at her worried face. "It's okay Lu, I've got you," he said as he tucked her a bit more into his chest. 

Hawks continued to say, "Recently there have been a number of reports from all across the city of suspected sightings of members of the League. Many of these sightings have been confirmed to be true after checking video surveillance footage."

Shoto stood up from the other side of the room. An icy chill wafted from his right side as he asked, "if we know they are in our city, why aren't we mobilizing? We should not sit back and wait for something to happen."

Hawks nodded, "I'd agree with you Todoroki, but the problem is we need to know why they are here."

"What does that matter?" Shoto snapped. "If we know they are here, that's more than enough of a reason to arrest them."

"Yes, but we don't know where they are hiding. We could nab one or two, sure, but we already have a member in custody thanks to the hard work of our beautiful heroes." Hawks's golden eyes turned to Lore. When everyone followed his gaze, she hid a bit deeper in Bakugo's arms. He glared at everyone until they looked away.
