Teiko Middle School. Well known for it's high track record in all fields, it was certainly a prestigious school. I'm currently attending this school and am a part of its basketball team.

Those of us in the first string are usually referred to as 'The Generarion of Miracles'...but that name sucks anyway, it's not like I have skill like Midorima or Aomine. I'm just tall...that's it.

-

"...A con?" I looked up in interest. Satsuki had just asked us if we wanted to go to an event with her. It's been a while since I've been to one..maybe they have new snacks.

"Sounds boring." Midorima commented. Aomine cut in and briefly ranted about how Midorima doesn't understand the importance of anime.

"I suppose it wouldn't be too bad for us to spend some time together for once in a while." Akashi said. Good, Aka-chin agrees.

"I suppose it's settled then." I said. "Kuro-chin? Kise-chin? What do you think?"

"...Sure." Kuroko uttered. I can never understand that guy, I get how I'm unenthusiastic but not even anime gets him excited?

Kise did a thumbs up signalling was on board with the idea, he was busy texting someone and seemed really focused. Probably another fan.

"Good! That saves a lot of trouble. I brought all of your tickets anyway!" Satsuki exclaimed, to which Midorima had a shocked reaction; he wasn't gonna be unincluded so easily.

"You'll like it, Mido-chin." I groaned.

"I am not interested in such cartoons!" Midorima shouted.

"Calm down. And they're not cartoons." Kuroko glared at him.

Midorima looked at the floor and sighed. "Fine, I'll go, but I'm not dressing up."

Satsuki clapped her hands together. "Perfecto! A full house!"
She abruptly stood up. "It starts later today, so you should get yourselves ready while you still can!"

"T-Today!?" The rest of us exclaimed.

And soon, a few hours later, the seven of us were making our way towards a very large building that staggered over us making even me feel small.

I was dressed up in a yellow shirt and shorts with denim blue overalls and a bright pink hat resembling a old but well-known anime character.

(By the way, Murasakibara isnt cosplaying as an existing anime character in our world)

Kuroko was cosplaying as someone from a volleyball anime. He wore a black and orange jersy alongside a spiky orange wig.

Clinging onto him was Satsuki, who was cosplaying as a girl with a blue and white jumpsuit which partially exposed her cleavage, alongside a pair of steampunk-like goggles and various attachments.
She was certainly attractive; if Kuroko wasn't attracted by this I don't know what will.

Aomine, Akashi, Kise and Midorima didnt bother to dress up. Aomine wouldve wanted to but didn't have time.

All was silent until Midorima spoke up.

"Murasakibara. Libra is #1 on Oha Asa today." He stated.

"And?" I briefly replied. Not gonna lie, I kinda believe in his horoscopes, a lot of them are true.

"You will meet a Scorpio today, and they will change your life, for the better or for the worse." He added.

Kise 'ooo'd at the sound of this. "Is Murasakibaracchi getting a girlfriend!?" He exclaimed.

Midorima replied. "It is possible-"

"Never! No-one would want to date me..." I spoke up. "If they did, they're crazy."

Kise frowned, and Satsuki turned around partially fuming.

"Don't say that!" She shouted. "You will find someone and they will love you!"

Yeah, right.

"But I'm autistic...remember? Who would date an autistic guy like me?" I emptily said.

I lowered my hat and stared at the floor for the rest of the journey. A girlfriend? Never.

*

We were halfway through the event and things seemed to be going smoothly. Aomine, Kuroko and Satsuki went off together, Midorima and Akashi went together and I was stuck with Kise.

We were mostly just wandering around since we had already done a lot of the things that were there.

Thankfully for Kise, he wasn't really noticed by the crowd and the kinds of fans he has wouldn't be in a place like this anyway.

In the other groups, Akashi was examining the culture of anime with great interest whist Midorima followed him feeling completely out of place as if he was an alien.
A lot of people were impressed by Satsuki's cosplay and took photos with her, and even though Kuroko and Aomine were sluggishly trailing her, they were completely ready in the event something were to happen to her.

Kise broke the silence between them.

"Maybe we should try and find you a-"

"No." I interuppted him. "Never.."

"But maybe-" Kise insisted.

"No." I repeated.

It's not that I didn't want a girlfriend, there was just no point in trying...it's like basketball except I fail either way.

I turned back around and faced the floor in silence only to be almost immediately interrupted, but not by Kise.

"Oh my god, it's [Character name]!" A group of girls shouted.

I looked up in suprise as Kise was blown away by a bunch of girls surrounded me, asking if they could take a picture with me.

I was taken by suprise. People actually knew who I'm cosplaying as?
Either way, I unhesitantly had some photos taken with them and we had a long but fun chat about the anime that my cosplay was from whilst Kise did other things at the side.

I was actually smiling, I'd never seen so many people with the same interests as me, it was fascinating.

And it would only get better from there.

As our conversation died down significantly, a timid voice softly spoke from behind me.

"E-Excuse me, can I have a photo?"
