"I can't believe we're doing this. I look ridiculous." Usako said as she posed in front of the mirror. She was dressed in a tight, clinging black leotard that she couldn't get to stop riding up her ass. The top left her shoulder bare and squeezed down uncomfortably on her large breasts. She wore a garter belt over the leotard, holding up purple stockings, and 4-inch knee-high leather boots to top it off.
On the hero Twilight, such a daring outfit would look sexy and confident, but all that Usako could think about was how the tight outfit emphasized how broad her shoulders were, or how well-defined the muscles of her back were.
"You look cute. And hot." Sophia countered as she finished getting into her own costume.
"Wait, you're wearing that?!" If Usako had felt embarrassed about her own outfit, she was doubly ashamed that she'd be seen with her best friend in that getup. Sophia was likewise dressed in a leotard, a bright red one with white vertical stripes on each side, but the entire front of the outfit was scooped out, the sides of her naked breasts and her flat stomach completely exposed. The only other pieces covering her shorter, curvier girlfriend was a thin belt and five-inch heeled boots.
"What?" Sophia didn't see a problem with it.
"You're going as Fusilier? She's a sidekick. Is she even eighteen?" As bad as that instagram-obsessed heroine's costume was, this over-sexed version blew it out of the water.
"So?" Sophia asked, her mouth stretched out into a wide, shameless grin..
"You can't just...it's not right to...it's creepy and..." Usako tried to muster up the energy chew her friend out properly, but she couldn't win against that devilish grin. She facepalmed, smiling behind her hand, "Fine. Whatever. Let's just go."
Together, the two left their hotel room and headed down to the lobby, walking towards the convention center. This wasn't their first time in costume. In fact, the two were intimately familiar with the feel of skintight uniforms. Usako as the masked crimefighter Amazon, her muscles powerful enough to lift a cruise ship, her abs hard enough to withstand artillery shells, while Sophia was really the heroine Inferno, able to manipulate flames freely; though with her powerset, she spent far more time putting out wildfires than stopping criminals.
Normally, two professional heroes like themselves would get plenty of attention. Two pro heroes dressing in erotic parodies of two other heroines would have been a scandal. But things were different today.
Today was HeroCon!
All around them the convention hall was filled with fanboys and fangirls flocking to booths, rushing to seminars and special screenings, and shouting out catchphrases and striking poses. They were hardly the only ones in costume, and with the domino masks they were both wearing, Usako was hoping that neither of them would be recognized.
Which didn't mean they were ignored, of course.
"Can I get a picture?" An overweight fan with glasses and a wide-angle lens for his camera asked, more nerdy fanboys whose eyes were glazing over gathering around them.
"Sure!" Sophia answered first, turning around, cupping her asscheeks as she craned her head around to still see him, "How do you want me?"
That got the fan's cheeks going pink and his glasses fogging. Foggy glasses or no, it didn't stop him from snapping photos to capture the moment, the rest of the fans joining in, the flashes briefly blinding Usako as she watched them devour Sophia with their cameras.
She rolled her eyes. If nothing else, her girlfriend thrived on attention. Well, as long as it was taking eyes off of her so she could enjoy the con on her own terms, she didn't mind too-
"You look amazing! Could you strike a pose for us?" Another fan addressed Usako directly this time, making her heart race just a little.
"A...pose? Like this?" She put one hand on her hip, flexed her other arm, showing off her toned bicep.
Cameras flashed excitedly for a few seconds, after which another fan spoke up, "Do a Twilight pose!"
A Twilight pose...
Usako leaned forward, then gave her own ass a slap. She turned around and lifting her hair out the way of the view of her back. Feeling giddily brave, she even cupped her own breasts and gave them a light squeeze.
"Having fun, ehhh?" Sophia said right behind her, making Usako jump.
Trying to play it cool, she gave her a light shove, "Just following your example."
"Well, help me out with this for one sec."
"Help you out with...mmpff!!" Sophia cut Usako off with a kiss, their chests squished together, her grabby friend squeezing her ass as she raised one leg. Too stunned to resist, Usako needed a handful of seconds for her mind to restart long enough to give a hard push on Sophia, "Jerk!"
In that time, the cameras had been going off nonstop, a small circle of fanboys and fangirls catching every angle of the pair.
Undeterred, Sophia came in close, whispered into Usako's ear, "Come on...it's fun. I get you all to myself. This is like the one day I get to show that off."
"Hmph..." Usako grabbed Sophia's hair by the root and lifted her onto her tiptoes, then lightly kissed her exposed neck, whispering back, "Just don't regret it then if I get carried away..."
"Bring it!"
* * *
Half an hour later at the nearby foodcourt, Usako had her face planted on the table, covering it with both arms.
"I can't believe you talked me into that..."
"It's fiiiine." Sophia replied as she popped two more fries into her mouth.
"You made me squeak. People can't know that Amazon is a squeaker!"
"It was cute! And besides, we're in disguise. It's not like anyone recognized you." Sophia washed the fries down with a long drink of her diet coke.
"Ughhh..."
It had been fun in the moment, but the more attention they got, the more excited Sophia became, the more she'd do to try and grab attention. For a moment there at the end, Usako had been worried they'd be tossed out by the security. She was convinced that if any of those pictures-god forbid there was any video!-made it online, she'd just curl up into a hole and spend the rest of her life there.
"Mrmmfff..." Usako felt Sophia scratching the top of her head, and try as she might to be a gloomy mess, it was her weakspot.
"Come on. Cheer up. It was fun! You look sexy as hell in that outfit. Too sexy. We-need-to-go- back-to-our-room kind of sexy."
Usako giggled. And it was true. She did feel sexy. And Sophia was looking hot as hell in that leotard. Cooling off with a bit of private time sounded...
"Let's go then!"
Walking arm-in-arm, the pair started to make the short trip back to the elevator. Now that they weren't being swarmed with photographers and oglers, Usako could take the time to appreciate the festive atmosphere a bit more. It really was a fun event. Maybe they could come back down later in normal street clothes. There was supposed a demo for new hero gear, some kind of spider-based webbing that was good at immobolizing villains.
"Excuse me. Would you like a free hug?"
There was a young woman in their path. She had fluffy pink hair the shade of cotton candy, big green eyes, and a splash of freckles across the pale skin of her cheeks. She was dressed with a simple sleeveless yellow blouse and a long white skirt. With her shy posture and delicate, modest curves, she looked adorably cute.
"Sorry, we're in a hurry and-"
"Sure thing! Come here, you!" Sophia cut Usako off as she lunged forward, giving a big tight hug to the girl, catching both of them by surprise. The girl barely had time to return the squeeze before it was over.
"Oh wow~ This girl is good at hugs. You should try it, Usa...Twilight."
Usako frowned at Sophia; what was the point of disguising themselves if she was going to just use her name like that? And what did she mean she was good at hugs? Usako thought that Sophia just wanted the opportunity to hug a cute, small girl for once, not a musculur brute like herself.
"Please let me give you a hug?" The girl asked sweetly, fluttering her eyelashes at her.
Well, it wasn't her fault. And it was a convention standard. And she was cute.
"Try it! I'm not kidding, she's really good at it." Sophia jokingly egged her on.
Not wanting to make things any more awkward, "Okay, fine. One hug."
Usako leaned forward, wrapped her arms around the waist of the girl, and gave a squeeze, careful to be gentle-she was so delicate looking, she didn't want to break her. The girl returned the squeeze, one arm around the back of Usako's neck, the other at the small of her back. With only her leotard between them, she could feel the fabric of the girl's bra through the blouse, feel her breath on her bare shoulder.
It was nice, she had to admit. Hugs were nice. Hugging a cute girl was especially nice.
But then it got weird. She felt warmth spreading through her body, she heard herself sigh with relaxation, and her body relaxed and opened itself up, her shoulders sagging a little as she let a bit of her weight rest on the girl. It felt as if she'd been drugged, and it went a few levels beyond just 'nice'. This was the kind of comfort she could only remember from after a long day at the spa or a long soak in a hot spring.
When the girl pulled back, broke the hug, Usako felt the warmth drain away from her, leaving her feeling a bit chill and tired, the way she felt when she'd force herself outside in the cold winter morning for exercise an hour before the sun was up.
"What...that's not a normal hug, is it?"
"Umm...no, not really. It's my superpower! I call it Free Hug! It's not very useful, but my hugs make people feel good. That's why I like these cons, I can give lots of people free hugs and make everyone feel super happy all day~"
"Woah! I bet you could have a bright future paying for people to cuddle!" Sophia said excitedly, dollar signs practically showing in her eyes.
