'Stop sulking. You know we won't find him again.'

The sharp green gaze sent up towards Naruto made him cringe a little bit. Sakura was getting a little annoyed, which was understandable Naruto had to admit. Ever since they had lost the most perfect Loki cosplayer, Naruto hadn't been able to do anything but complain. Complain about how dumb he had been, and how it had been his fault, and how this place was too busy. All the while his eyes kept searching through the crowd, snapping from one face to the other. There was a last ounce of hope left somewhere deep in his gut, and he clung to it desperately. God, he just wanted to apologise and explain he had been a dumbass.

'But I just want to see him again,' Naruto whined, grabbing Sakura by the arm and pulling her backwards, squeezing her bicep a little too hard in his sad behaviour.

It got him a smack against the back of his head, which was earned Naruto knew. They were both used to this though, Naruto one to be a fan of someone almost instantly, though this was a little more severe than other times. There was just something about Sasuke that made Naruto want to go back to him. Fix things and never ruin them again. Get his Facebook page name, so Naruto could stalk him all he wanted, and comment on all the pictures.

A hint of a smile was left behind on Sakura's lips, because even though Naruto got on her nerves, she also thought he was incredibly adorable like this. There were not many men who would let themselves go like this and fanboy over someone as much as Naruto did. 'Well, the con is almost over, and this place is far too busy for us to still run into him. Let's just get our coats. Maybe he's here tomorrow too and you can go find him then,' Sakura waved off, crushing Naruto's last bit of hope of seeing Sasuke today, but creating new hope for tomorrow.

'We need to be here tomorrow before ten!' Naruto said resolute, again grabbing Sakura by her upper arm and giving it a tug, forcing her to stumble backwards. This time Naruto ignored her glare, his mind far too occupied with plans on finding Sasuke tomorrow. It was going to happen. 'If we get here really early and then leave the last, we have enough time to make sure we find him. And you need to help me convince him I am not a weirdo that goes out and kisses random strangers.' Staring deep into Sakura's eyes, he hoped his baby blue shiners would seduce her into helping him out. She was his best friend. It was like a rule that she had to do this. Someone must've written a book about that somewhere.

Ripping her arm once more out of Naruto's hold, Sakura stomped towards the wardrobe, almost walking right into someone dressed as Batman, who didn't seem very amused. Not that Batman ever seemed amused.

'Sakura!' Naruto called after his friend, desperate to have her agree to his plan. Sprinting after her Naruto caught up to her at the wardrobe, getting in line with many others who all wanted to leave the con right now. Leaning down a little bit Naruto crouched down to her level, making him appear cuter than he actually was. Sakura was not very sensitive to his antics, but he could at least try. Eyebrows were sent downwards in plea, bottom lip sticking out as a pout, and lastly his blue eyes shining with sadness to finish the whole look of. 'Please, Sakura. You have to help me. I know I can make this right and then I know this awesome cosplayer. Don't you want this for me too? It was just a silly mistake! We just need to find him and you can explain to him that I am really normal most of the time.'

Casually Sakura leaned her elbow on Naruto's shoulder, this shit eating grin forming on her lips that Naruto didn't trust one bit. His pleading face vanished and made place for a suspicious glare, trying to figure out what the hell was going on here. Slowly Sakura grabbed Naruto by the chin and started turning his head to the other side, right until his eyes fell on the person he had been looking for all afternoon.

With one eyebrow raised and with a look in his eyes as if he was staring at something disgusting, Sasuke was staring at them, right from the row beside them. The friend in the Riddler costume wore the same smile as Sakura did, while the other Lady Sif of the bunch was just staring at them in astonishment.

This must be one of the most embarrassing things Naruto had ever gone through. That group was not stupid enough to think this was not about Sasuke. They knew exactly it was about Sasuke, and that maybe Naruto had developed some kind of weird celebrity crush on him. This could not have turned out worse for him. Why did this have to happen? Naruto had made a plan and it should just have followed that. Sakura and he should just have found them tomorrow and have fixed everything then. But now it had just gotten worse, and how in the world was Naruto going to fix this crap now?

Grabbing Sakura's hand, Naruto made sure that she stopped waving already. Why did she have to wave at them? She was making this worse, damn it! And now Sasuke was not even looking at them anymore, choosing to ignore them instead. Well, who wouldn't honestly? This was just horrible and Naruto just wanted the floor to give out right under him, and suck him into hell or whatever. How did that saying even go? Fuck, his brain was just not working anymore.

'You know you two looked really great together.' In the split second where Naruto wished this day would disappear completely, Sakura had somehow made her way to the other line, and was now standing right in front of Sasuke, camera in hand to show him the little screen. 'Naruto can't really pose, and made the pictures awkward sometimes, but you seem to have some experience with modelling or something.'

And there she was, Naruto's lifesaver. Sakura really was an awesome friend, and he could see Sasuke visibly relax, though he turned a sharp eye on him once he dared to move. Naruto was not allowed to join them yet, that's for sure.

Dark eyes lingered on the little screen as Sakura flipped through the pictures she had taken from the two of them, the series ending at a picture of them sharing an actual kiss. Sasuke's lip twitched at that as his gaze snapped up towards Naruto once more. 'Your… friend indeed doesn't really know what to do with a pose,' Sasuke replied, his voice deep, firmly placing a comment there about how Naruto had behaved. 'But I don't have much experience either,' he continued as he turned back to Sakura. 'Just did some photoshoots with my friends. Juugo enjoys taking photos, so we did a few rounds.'

Slowly Naruto dared to inch closer now that Sasuke was focusing on Sakura, and she was doing a great job at keeping his attention on her, showing interest in what he does, questions easily falling off her lips. Naruto really loved that girl sometimes, because now Naruto was right next to them, standing so close to the best Loki cosplayer ever.

'Did you do any other characters as well or do you only cosplay as Loki?'

The line scooted forward a little, the girls behind the counter doing their best to keep up with all the people that wanted their stuff back. The stress hung thick in the air, but Naruto's heart was thumping too hard for him to even notice. Sasuke had just stumbled up against him, some guy pushing him forward as he made his way through their tiny group. Another annoyed twitch of the lips followed, a murderous glint present in Sasuke's eyes. At least Naruto didn't receive any sign of disgust or anything similar, so they were making progress.

'Yeah,' Sasuke answered first. 'I've only started doing Loki recently. I'm still going to do the golden horns to finish the look and am thinking about getting a wig with the longer hair. So this cosplay is not finished yet. Before this I cosplayed as Mello from Death Note. It's what some people know me as.' The talking about his cosplays seemed to light up Sasuke's dark eyes a little, and Naruto could only foolishly stare at it in awe. Naruto didn't really want to use the word adorable, but he did anyway. The passion was incredible, and before he really noticed, Naruto blurted his response.

'I love Death Note! Mello is just so awesome, though L and Light are great too, and then my absolute favourite is Ryuk. He just made that entire show, like literally. I just love this show so much and I wish they would make another season of it. I would be the first to watch it and then spoil everything to all my friends, because I can never keep my mouth shut, and you absolutely need to show me pictures of your Mello cosplay. I need to see it!'

Saying Naruto had gone a little too far was putting it nicely. The whole group was staring at him with mouth agape, wondering what the flood of words had exactly meant. One of Sasuke's friends at least came back to life quick enough. The almost bare Lady Sif reached for a phone from a small purse she was carrying and then flipped through it until she reached what she was looking for. Turning the screen towards Naruto, he could now see an image of Sasuke, dressed as Mello, sitting on the edge of a wall. The position was absolutely stunning and the expression Sasuke had on his face was to die for. This slight tilt of one lip corner up, giving Sasuke an almost teasing look. But the best part was how there was a bit of skin showing, Sasuke's abdomen bare, because the shirt had slipped upwards a little.

With his heartbeat drumming inside his ear, Naruto tried to answer as best as he could. A deep blush betrayed his real thoughts though, but he did his best to save the situation. 'You look really great as Mello. Your face is perfect and blond suits you too. Maybe you should be Thor next time,' he added with a grin, scratching himself behind the head awkwardly.

The phone was taken back by Sasuke, his eyes snapping towards the screen for a moment to see which pictures had actually been shown. 'Thanks,' Sasuke muttered softly, finally directing his words at Naruto again. 'I enjoy cosplaying as Mello. He fits me quite well, unlike Thor would. It would've been great if I had a Matt though…'

'I can be your Matt!' Naruto said enthusiastically, eyes wide in glee.

Naruto had never seen anyone more creeped out than Sasuke looked right now. The guy had even taken a step back to create more distance between them. This really was not the way to fix this. 'I think you should first work on your Thor more and also on how to work with others,' he countered. 'A good start would be not kissing random strangers in front of a group of people.'

And this was what Naruto had been beating himself up over all day already, but this time something was different. Maybe it was the tone Sasuke had used, or maybe it was just because this whole situation had been quite mean. But Naruto actually retorted with something no one probably expected.

'Well, you were the one telling me to get closer! So I did! And then you were looking all seductive at me, luring me in for something. Maybe this was all your doing? Maybe this is exactly what you wanted? Yes, I bet you just wanted me to kiss you, didn't you Sasuke?!'

Everyone around them had gone quiet, heads turning everywhere to look at them. Naruto had probably spoken a little too loudly, and now he had done the exact opposite of fixing things. The only good thing coming out of this was that instead of looking angry, Sasuke actually looked shocked. And was still not denying it. It couldn't be true, could it? Or was it…

'I knew it!' Naruto called out again, still not improving the situation. 'You are the… the… Thorki shipper! That's why you wanted me to stay! So you could get into my pants, but I ruined your plans by kissing you in front of all the strangers. I am on to you!'

A hand went up to Naruto's ear, and by his earlobe Sasuke pulled him closer, bringing his lips right beside Naruto's ear. 'I suddenly understand why Loki doesn't really like his brother,' he hissed at Naruto, before releasing him again. Pushing passed him the group finally was first in line and could get their coats. None of them turned back around to look at Naruto anymore, and this vibe of hatred was still lingering around them, but Naruto was still sure he was right about this. Sasuke wanted him.

Beside him Sakura only murmured 'idiot' under her breath, shaking her head at Naruto's behaviour. He had really done it this time…
