STORM

A Plus One?

Bakugo had just gotten to the agency when he noticed a bunch of reporters hovering over the receptionist's desk. The noise was jarring and the scene became a traffic jam for interns and sidekicks trying to get their morning assignments. Sauntering over, he didn't expect much. I mean, why would the receptionist have a crowd? It is true that their new receptionist was very pretty and soft spoken, they wanted someone they knew wouldn't be rude to their guests. However, Bakugo also knew that she did not like to be crowded like this. He bulldozed his way to the front, seeing the poor girl scrambling to cover a box.

"Suki, what the hell is going on with these extras?" Bakugo shouted as more reporters snapped photos. Suki looked up at him with a tired smile, trying her best to put on a brave face.

"Mr. Dynamight, this box arrived this morning from America. It's from Mr. Kaminari, so all these guys think it's something to do with his music. I'm trying to cover his address, all these cameras are bound to get an angle. I don't want Mr. Kaminari to find himself in such trouble when stalkers show up to his house," Bakugo growled as a photographer nearly shoved him and made a dive for the box. Bakugo, at that point, had enough. He let off a string of small explosions and got in front of Suki.

"All of you extras get off this property! You're clogging up my agency!" His booming voice got all their attention and each reporter scrambled away. Some photographers tried to get some more photos, but Bakugo picked up the box over his head to make sure no one saw the address. After seeing the rest of the photographers give up, he gave Suki a curt nod and went to the elevator. He stared down at the box as the elevator passed every floor, he couldn't help but wonder what was in the box.

He and Denki had only been chatting once a month or so since Denki started wedding planning. Last he heard, Denki had chosen a nice suit. So, getting a package like this made him worried. He gently shook it, noting the contents were rather loose inside. He quirked his brow as he gave a sturdy bump, listening as the contents seemed to ripple upwards then downwards. So, whatever was in the box was stacked. Was it paper? The elevator door opened and everybody was in the conference room, ready for the monthly staff meeting. When Bakugo entered, each person looked immediately at the box.

"Kacchan, where did you get the box from?" Midoriya asked as he straightened his papers. Bakugo sneered and gently placed the box on the conference table.

"Poor Suki was being mobbed by reporters because of this damn thing. It's from Denki," At that, everybody perked up. Not many of them had kept in close contact with Denki since his wedding planning started. Ochako clapped her hands, very excited.

"Oh! Can we open it now?!" she asked giddily. Midoriya looked at Shoto and Bakugo, who each shrugged. Not having any opposition to the idea, Midoriya nodded at Ochako. The heroes each waited patiently for Bakugo to open the box, breaking the packing seal and opening the flaps. There were many individual letters, and Bakugo handed each letter out with the implied agreement to wait until everyone got theirs. By the time Bakugo passed out all the envelopes, everyone but Kirishima had one.

"Are you all ready to open your envelopes?" Shoto questioned, getting a unanimous 'yes' from everybody. They each tore open their letters to find a beautiful invitation to Denki's wedding, along with meal slips and a personal rsvp letter with a matching envelope. Everybody squealed in excitement, even Tokoyami was jumping like a schoolgirl. Kirishima sighed and put his chin on his fist, not complaining but showing his discomfort about the whole situation.

The invitation was a beautiful pine green, with gold lettering. As was the RSVP form and menu slip.

Midoriya decided to read the invitation aloud.
