Cosplay and Conventions [BoyxBoy] DISCONTINUED

Cosplay and Conventions 6

*Ollie's POV*

Luke seemed somewhat defeated after our 'conversation' in the restroom. In a way, I felt strangely powerful. Luke wanted Stacey, and she wanted me. Or, at least, I think she wanted me. It seemed that way. And in all honesty, she was a nice girl. I'd had a nice day with her, she took my mind off my feelings for Luke. I didn't think I would ever like another girl, besides Melissa, but here I was, starting to develop a 'crush' on Stacey. I felt proud of myself. Little Ollie was finally moving on, meeting new people. Who knows? Maybe this could turn into something good, right? However, whilst this was technically a good thing, it also came with risks. I could easily get hurt, and that wouldn't be so great. I mean, I barely knew Stacey. What if she turned out to be a slut?

Then again, looking back on the way we'd both met, if she really was a slut, she would've just gone willingly with those guys in the first place. So I was somewhat  reassured that she'd make a good girlfriend. Girlfriend, there was a word I'd rarely considered before in my life... Not that I'd been considering getting a boyfriend, either. To be honest, I'd always assumed I'd remain single. After all, crushing on a straight guy who happened to be homophobic wasn't the best of ideas, then there was also my thing for Melissa, whom barely even noticed I existed anymore... Things hadn't been looking too hopeful for me. 

I was tugged away from my thoughts, litterally, by Stacey, whom was leading me off with the rest of the group. Peering back, I noticed that we'd left Luke and the strange red-headed guy behind. "Stacey, my friend's back there... I don't think he's noticed..." I tried to tell Stacey, so that we could pivot around and drag Luke along with us. It didn't seem like such a good idea, leaving him with Seth's new chunk of meat. I didn't know Seth very well, actually, just that he'd become my replacement in middle-school. I wouldn't of thought he was gay, not in a million years. He kept that one a secret...

That must've come as quite a shock to Luke, though... Firstly, I come out as bi, and he drops me like a hot potato due to his homophobic tendencies... Then his new best friend comes out as fully-gay... Double-whammy, much? Although, it hurt me to see that Luke and Seth were still friends. Luke hadn't showed me any sympathy or even a trace of understanding back when I came out to him, so what made Seth any different? They weren't even overly-close, anyway. Stacey didn't seem to pay any attention to my little statement, as she kept a firm grip on my wrist and continued to follow the group through the crowded warehouse... Oh well, it's not like I didn't try...

Suddenly, I spotted something that immediately caught my eye, and I pulled away from Stacey's death-grip to go and have a look. It was a plush toy version of one of my favourite characters, Luka Megurine. Technically, she wasn't a 'character', since Vocaloid is a singing synthesizer, but I still classed her as a character, after all, as unfortunate as it was, she didn't really exist. "Awwh~ So cute!" I cooed at the small figure, sitting with many other plush toys of various Vocaloids and such. "Excuse me, sir..." I gained the attention of the guy running the stall, he turned to me with weary eyes that made me feel uncomfortable. "I'll take the Luka plushie, please." I handed over my money and took Luka all in the space of a minute, not wanting to spend any more time with the creepy stall-guy than I had to.

"Hey!" Stacey popped up behind me. "I thought I'd lost you..." Her breathing was ragged, suggesting that she'd been looking for me. Instantly, a sheeping grin found its way onto my face. "What ya got there?" Stacey asked me, trying to peer into my bag. Quickly, I pulled it out of her reach, and rummaged around inside, searching for my new doll. Once I had a firm grip, I moved my arm outwards in an overly-confident way, producing the Luka Megurine plushie. Stacey squealed, a girl after my own heart. After all, she was cosplaying as my dear Luka... That gained her bonus point in my mind. If a girl is willing to cosplay as your favourite Vocaloid, and she looks cute in the outfit, she's definitely the one you want to marry. No doubt about it.
