Adopted by Drag Queens

Chapter 9

A/N Trigger warning (mentions of self harm and bullying) and again, the times aren't accurate (and some other things I had to change so they'd fit the storyline)

David's POV

I had to wake up super early because I needed to get in Drag in time for Drag Con. I was in the middle of gluing my lashes on when I heard something move in the bed behind me.

I looked over, immediately a smile formed on my face when I saw my daughter grinning at me.

"Good morning." I smile and she walks up to greet me.

"Morning." She replies happily and stares at my face in awe.

"What's up?" I giggle. She blushes and also let's out a giggle. "I'm just amazed at your makeup skills." She says and I can't help but hug her.

"If you want I can put some on you too." She really seemed to like the idea, so once I was done and in full drag I put a little makeup on her. She truly looked amazing.

"Come on now, it is almost 9 am we got to hurry." My manager warned as we were running down the halls of the hotel room.

My daughter had stayed behind because she wasn't ready yet. I needed to be at my booth in time, so I had to leave quickly. And anyway, people are only being let in at 10 so I'd rather not rush her only to make her wait for an hour.

We finally arrived at my booth, just in time. I had one together with Raja and she was already there.

"About time." She jokingly glared at me.

My POV

I was wearing a gorgeous sleeveless dress, but because I was self conscious about my scars I had put on a bunch of bracelets to cover them.

I was on my way to the convention, it was 9:40 and I was really excited to be hanging out at Raven and Raja's booth today and to go wander around to meet some of the other queens.

On my way along the street that led to the convention centre, I couldn't stop but notice two girls walking near by and gossiping about me.

"Oh my god look a cutter." One of them scoffed. "So pathetic." The other laughed and pointed at my arm.

"Hey you worthless bitch, your bracelets wont hide your ugly little secret." She came closer to me.

Inside my mind I was raging. I wanted to punch that girl right in the face and tell her that I am not worthless. But all those years of bullying have broken this defensive part of me. My confidence was shattered and I couldn't move. I just stared and held my breath.

One of the girls pushed me and I stumbled onto the pavement. They both laughed at me before running off into the other direction.

My mind went blank, I couldn't do anything. I just needed to forget what happened.

So I got up, brushed myself off and walked into the convention centre and towards Raven and Raja's booth with a big fake smile plastered on my face.

It is easy pretending to be happy when you have been doing it for years.

"Hey baby." Raven smiled and held her arms out. A hug, I really needed that.

Without Raven knowing, her warm embrace already made me feel better. Raja was next, she gave me a big hug and a kiss on the cheek.

I'm so glad to be lucky enough to have them. In the past, after these kind of incidents I would just be alone.

Hours of Drag Con went by and I had almost completely forgotten the incident. I was having a good time watching Raja and Raven meet and greet their fans and also watching their Fashion Photo Ruview panel. I was helping their team hand out the merchandise the rest of the time.

Drag Con's first day came to an end and it truly was a fun experience.

"Oh no we were so focused on you helping at our booth we completely forgot to let you meet some of the queens." Raja gasped.

"I'm so sorry baby, can you forgive us?" Raven crouched down to meet my eye level. Because she was wearing heels she was even taller than usual.

"Don't worry, there is always tomorrow." I smiled and Raven returned the smile.

"I promise you will meet the queens you want tomorrow." Raven hugged me and Raja took my hand in hers.

"Come on then, let's de-drag and watch a movie in my hotel room or something." Raja grinned and we started walking to the hotel.

We ended up watching a few movies after Raja and Raven took their drag off and then I headed back together with David to our room.

Besides the incident this morning, today was a good enough day.
