The next day, Cameron woke up with hair in his face, just like any other morning. But what was different was the sound of Gamz trying to wake him up. At 7 in the morning.

"What the fuck is wrong with you?" Cameron asked in a threatening tone.

"Come on! Let's get dressed, the con opens by 9 and Tadeo will be there!" Gamz addressed cheerfully.

"Fuck that, it's the summer. Kids are supposed to be sleep in during the summer!" Cameron remarked

"Well this weekend is different!"

"Oh and kids sleep in shit tond on the weekends too! Double fucking whammy!" Cameron hid himself in the blankets

"Aw come on! I heard through the grape vine that Vic is doing something early this morning"

And with that, Cameron leaped out of bed and got his cosplay on himself as quick as he could. Vic Mignona, one of Cameron's reasons he wanted to be a voice actor. He played as the shrimp leader in Fullmetal Alchemist, the hopeless romantic with his romantic mask hiding such in Ouran, and even the magician with mystic powers and a smile to melt every heart in Tsubasa! How could the man NOT be Cameron's role model? Cameron has had the chance to try voice acting in the Homestuck fandom, but no one seems to like his voice acting! He didn't know why, but they didn't.

He had the perfect Karkat voice, at least that's what he thought.

"So are you ready yet?" Cameron had stopped to think about Vic and his own voice acting as he was getting himself together. As soon as Gamz broke him out of those thoughts, he got ready at a fast pace. Ten minutes later, he was ready, but they realized that it was only 8. In their bustle, they woke up Gamz's mother up anyways. She gave them money to go around the first floor and buy something from the not so expensive restaurants and maybe something extra at the con before going back to sleep.

Gam and Cameron made sure that on their way down that they were quiet. But when they got down to the floors where the not so fancy restaurants were, they discussed their options without caring which employee they would wake up.

"So Tav is going to meet us there, so we should get him some food too" Gamz looked around.

"IS there something he doesn't like to eat?" Cameron asked.

"He doesn't like eating anything under the term 'angus' I think, but I think that was all he said. He says he likes cow though."

Cameron's eyebrow rose. "Why does he not like eating bull when he likes eating the same shitty thing with just a different gender?"

"Hell if I know, it's just what he told me"

"Okay then, which shitty place here do you think there'd be something for that fucker?"

"How about this place?" Gamz pointed to a Spanish themed restaurant. "He said he was Spanish, maybe he'd like some food from here." Cam had thought about it, and he could tell when he met the kid that he had some kind of faint European accent, but now he knew it was Spanish.

"Well that sure is original. Would you think that maybe he wouldn't like to eat today since you know, he probably eats it a lot?" Cameron asked with a glare in his eye.

"Let's just get him something WE would like to eat. Like some kind of 'll appreciate breakfast more than some Spanish food from some shitty restaurant" Cam added, confidence was in his voice of how right he was.

"Well the people of Spain have their own breakfast too y'know, and I bet in that Spanish restaurant they would have it." Gamz responded.

"Well do you know if Tadeo likes it?"

"No-"

"Well then let's get him regular AMERICAN food okay? Like some eggs and toast or something like that"

"Well it does seem good, I guess..."

"Then let's get it before Vic Mignona does whatever shit he's gonna do!" he commented before marching into an American restaurant that served breakfast. Soon Cameron got eggs for himself and for Tadeo (just in case he didn't like sausage or bacon) and Gamz got a full blown breakfast, pancakes and bacon and all.

"If you run out of money for shopping then I'm not giving you any of my fucking money" Cameron protested in the most naggiest way, however Gamz waved it off. When they collected all of the food, they went out to the front of the hotel, and was now fully able to examine Gamz's cosplay for that day.

First and foremost, Gamz's wig had very, very long black follicles. But the weirdest thing about Gamz's cosplay that Cam had now noticed was the decent sized stuffing he had on his chest. And the look on Cameron's face showed how appalled he was.

"Gamz" Cam said bluntly "The fuck. Why didn't you tell me you were cosplaying a fugly bitch today?" he kept staring at his female Gamzee cosplay.

"Because I do what I want? And secretly, I was kinda thinking that maybe, uh Tadeo will... like what he see, yeah." he chuckled and Cameron face-palmed.

"That's not a way to sway a straight kid, if that's what you're trying to do." Cameron frowned deeply at his attempt to look like a woman

"Well no, Tadeo says he's queer, so I'm just gonna see what the fuck he likes" Gamz replied before seeing the bus come up, and absconded inside on a seat.

He cannot abscond successfully! Cameron soon hops on and finds where he's hiding before sitting next to him. Cameron then proceeds to complain about how fake the cosplay looks. Gamz has no response, because he couldn't give a flying fuck about what he thinks about a cosplay he just pulled together before the con.

Cameron eventually stops nagging, and moves on "So you really like the fucker huh?" he looked over, less anger in his eyes, to his cross playing best friend.

"..." it took Gamz a few seconds to openly admit it. "Okay, yeah I do, a lot. And I always wondered if he also liked me, though he's never said anything that would hint towards it"

Cam could see why Gamz could like the kid so much.

No, wait.

He couldn't.

How the fuck do you love some dumbass who found a way to trip down stairs right and not have his own legs? Very easily, but this was the only real excuse he had in his mind. He though, certainly didn't love him. He thought of him as most girls think of John Egbert. What was that word again? Ah, yes. 'Adorkable'. That word fit Tadeo nicely. Anyways, Cameron watched his friend try to adjust the stuffing a little bit so that it was just a little bit fluffier and round. However, even though he watched this, it didn't mean that it wasn't disturbing. He then after being disturbed for a little while, looked ahead to the drivers' massive window.

The feeling of excitement washed through him. The excitement to be able to see Vic Mignona. The excitement to wear cosplay and not to be looked down upon for it, the excitement of having a great time. He was so eager to get to the convention, the bus wouldn't go fast enough! Even though it took about 5 minutes total to get to the convention.

When they got out, Cameron looked over at Gamz and asked "Okay, what the fuck was Vic supposed to be doing this morning, and where?"

"Hell if I know if he;s even doing anything today" Gamz shrugged. Cameron was burning with rage, and was about ready to take his hands and start choking him.

"To get you out of bed." Gamz smiled "It's a beautiful motherfucking morning my man, so why not get out and carpe diem, you know?" Gamz said before Cameron gave him a punch. Not super hard, but in the end it sure did hurt.

"I hate you SO MUCH right now!" he glared. Lying was an act of betrayal. However, this was the worst time to punch Gamz, because then Tadeo was walking to them. Now Tadeo rushed to his friends' side.

"Oh, Oh Gamz, are you, are you okay?" he asked with a worried look on his face.

"Yeah, I'm plenty fine, my cheek just stings." Gamz said. "I deserved it anyways, it was a pretty nasty thing for me to have done, sorry Cameron" Gamz said. Cameron's eyes moved over to Tadeo, which was staring back at him, and he remembered something.

"Here, we got you breakfast." his cheeks would have been lit had it not been for the gray make up on his face. He then shyly handed over the brown bag that had the eggs and toast in it, throwing in his own. If it was pointed out, he would have said it was an accident, even though he knew he just wasn't hungry that morning. Tadeo gave Cameron a smile that sent a nice chill up his spine.

OOC:

Got tired of having this sit on my computer, and me wanting to put up more than this for the chapter. Alas, I now have 2 secret santas, an animation, and a remix to do in a while, so I'll have a busy plate while trying to keep this up.

I'm so sorry to keep you guys waiting, I'll hope you'll forgive me! ;w; See you next chapter!
