/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

hmmmm okay. sure. i'll share.

i'd been cosplaying about a year, and had worn my Zexion cosplay to a few con's previously. small group of friends, I don't talk all that much and tend to just organize hotels and whatnot in the background. Anime North comes along, my entire hotel group is wearing Kingdom Hearts for the Saturday shoot.
Around 10am we're wandering around the con, and I suppose we're fairly noticeable. We had a Roxas with a keyblade, Sora with a keyblade, a Lexaeus with an axe, a Xaldin with a spear, a Xemnas with two lightsabers, a Namine with a filled sketch book, and myself with my lexicon. We get ambushed by cameras the second we get out front.

The first break after standing there for a good fifteen minutes, this Demyx cosplayer comes running out of the crowd and over to me. tells me she think's i'm perfect, and asks for a hug.

I indulge my otp feelings, and give her a hug. tell her there's a photoshoot at 1, and I hope to see her there.

i do.
gosh she's pretty.
i stand next to her.
wow holy crap she is really pretty and funny and sweet.
We chit chat, I make attempts to flirt and fail horribly. I speak to her friend who's taking pictures after the shoot, ask "is that into girls, and is she single." "she's in a relationship right now." Dreams are crushed. she's a total cutie, and i decide yes, I will keep her as a friend because she's super nice and not awful like the rest of the crowd. My little brother (Roxas) asks about the hot Demyx cosplayer, "No, I already asked. Taken." "Awww no way, the good ones are always taken." We're disappointed together, but spend the rest of the weekend hanging out with her and her friends. We exchange emails, phone numbers, but the con ends and I expect to never hear from her again because that's how i'd been told it went....
