... [“Yo, Leon. Where are you at?”]
[“By a merch stand selling some kind of manga stuff, I think. Just look for a green shirt and jeans; I didn’t come in costume.”] You sigh, tapping your foot impatiently as your message is sent to your group chat. You only agreed to come to this convention since it’d be a great chance to buy some merch from your favorite series, but it’s proving to be just as uncomfortable as you expected, with how surrounded you are by cosplayers and the sweaty nerds following them. Sure, it’s not all con-goers, but it’s just enough to make the half hour you’ve been waiting seem endless.
“Leon, hey!”
You turn in the direction of your name, relieved to finally see Nick and his girlfriend rounding a corner.
“Have you been waiting for long?” he asks, clad in what looks like a fantasy knight cosplay of sorts with a robe underneath some plates and elven ears around his head, looking like a character straight off a D&D sheet.
“We were having some issues with his ears,” his girlfriend, Becca, comments beside him, flicking said appendage with a giggle, herself clothed in quite the cosplay: a green, shiny leotard covering her petite build, with accompanying red gloves and combat boots, topped with a red beret over her naturally blonde braids. She makes for a pretty decent Cammy from Street Fighter, covering the usually risqué lower body of said character with some pants to hide her legs and butt from any nasty “fans” seeking to eye her body.
“Nah,” you lie in an attempt to salvage the mood between your friends at least. “I was looking around for merch while I waited. Though I am having a bit of an issue finding half-decent stuff, every other booth is just selling stickers and pins.”
“Oh! I can show you where they sell some of the cooler stuff,” Becca says, about to point in a direction when some guy from the nearby crowd walks up to her.
“Excuse me,” he begins, holding out his phone towards her, “that’s such a great Cammy cosplay, and I was wondering if you’d let me take a pic with you?”
“Oh, uhm, sure!” Becca answers, her initial surprise shifting to giddy excitement. Handing the phone to her boyfriend, she poses right next to the apparent fan with an awkward peace sign, signaling Nick to take the pic when another con-goer, a girl this time, butts in.
“OMG! That wig is absolutely stunning! Did you make it yourself?” ...

Found the last pic of the story on a 'spicy' manga site, but I couldn't really find an artist to credit for it, it's missing from the tags on there for some reason and reverse image search didn't really help, apart from that nagging at my mind, this one was really fun to write. First ever dive into inanimate TFs, I think. Anyway that's all, hope you enjoyed this one and see ya on the next one : )
