Wow, it's almost 10th chap already! Yay!

Chapter 9: The Convention

I hadn't slept at night at all. I only kept thinking about Gakupo and the date. But when the morning came, Akaito once again was next to my bed, yelling me to get up.

"I've been up for the whole night, let me sleep..." I muttered, but he just shaked his head and answered: "But you told me to wake you up so you won't be late from that anime convention."

Then I realized it. I had to wear the maid-dress. I had already decided that I would wear it, even though it was really embarrasing, but I still thought it was a bad idea, because I knew there would be some Meito's friends and... well, let's say they're really perverted and if they saw me in a maid-dress... I don't even want to think about it.

"Fine..." I said and sat up to see that he had already taken the dress from my closet and was holding it in his hands right in front of me. I blushed when I saw it. It had turquoise colour and it was so short it only reached up to my mid-thighs (Where did he buy it from anyway...?) and it had pink laces and frills. There was also the same coloured knee-socks, which had pink laces in them too and the apron was white and it had a turquoise heart on it. Yes, it was embarrasing. And looked like it was from some shoujo manga - or actually yaoi manga.

I snatched it from Akaito and told him to get out so I could try it on. He said a perverted comment and then left, closing the door behind him.

I looked at the dress again. How the hell am I supposed to put this on...?

After some minutes of thinking, I managed to wear the dress and was in front of the big mirror in my room. It fit me perfectly, but I still hoped it wouldn't be so short. I also had black shoes you could wear with lolita-dress, which was pretty awkward, because they were high-heels and it was hard to walk.

I practiced walking for a while, then went to the bathroom to brush my teeth and then headed towards the kitchen for breakfast. Mom and dad already were there, even though it was only 7AM, but I quess that was because dad had to go work early. And the reason why we were going to the convention so early was that the lines in there were huge.

"Mornin'", I said with still a little sleepy tone. Everyone, including Akaito who was eating bacon, turned their heads in my way. (Well, dad just glanced at me behind his newspaper.) Their expressions were terrified (expect for my stupid brother, who was smirking)

"It's that bad, huh?" I muttered.

"No, no, no, honey. It's just... short", mom said. I sighed as Akaito laughed his ass of.

"K- Kaito, that... rea- really suits you!" he yelled between the laughs. I almost attacked him, but dad distracted me by kissing mom's cheek and telling us he was going to go to work now. "Drive safely", mom said as dad stepped through the door and smiled. Again, I was so happy mom was back at home.

"So, Kaito, when will Meito come?" she asked as she poured me some coffee.

"He should be here soon", I said and munched my sandwich and took a small sip of the coffee. I don't really like coffee that much, but if you add enough sugar, it helps you to be awake in the morning, at least for a while.

Suddenly the doorbell ringed. I stood up and walked to the door and opened it. Meito was standing in front of me, cosplaying Mello from Death Note.* He even had chocolate with him!

"Hi Kaito... What happened to your costume?" He still wasn't wearing a wig because he always puts it on just before the convention because he thinks they're itchy. But he kinda looked like Mello even without it. Well, of course he had a different hair colour and all, but...

"Kai destroyed it", I answered and blushed a little.

"Well, in any case, that maid-dress suites you! Where did you buy it?" Meito asked sarcastically.

Mom noticed Meito and asked if he would like to have some breakfast and he shrugged his shoulders and said we weren't in such a hurry, so if he ate quickly, it didn't really matter.

"Wow, that's one cool cosplay!" Akaito noted as he saw Meito. He said it wasn't that hard to make it and sat down.

"It's quite simple, actually. But it was hard to find a cheap wig", he explained.

"Why do you have chocolate?" mom asked curiously as she saw the chocolate bar in Meito's hand.

"Oh, my character just loves chocolate. But I quess I'll have to eat this before the convention", he answered and spread some butter on his bread. I actually thought that the costume fit Meito really well.

After breakfast, Meito and me left - after Akaito telling me to watch out for perverted old mans and me puching him - and it took about ten minutes to the station, where we waited for the train for five minutes. I got some glances because of my costume, but since Death Note was so popular anime, many people regonized Meito as Mello and realized we were cosplaying and one guy even asked if he could take a photo of us.

When the train arrived, it was full of cosplayers and otakus. (since the train was going to Akihabara, where the convention was, no normal person wanted to go in the train) Some girls were squealing when they saw me, and I noted that they were probably fujoshi (of course yaoi fangirls scream when they see two guys, one of them wearing a maid-dress)

When we arrived, the lines where really tall, even though it was only 8:00AM. We looked for Meito's friends for a while, but found them quickly because they were so loud.

"How's it goin', guys!" Meito said and waved his hand. He had just put the wig on, but his voice was still easily regonized. His friends looked at us, but their gazes immediately turned in my way as they saw what I was wearing.

"Hey, Kaito!" they all said in the same, perverted voice. Only one of the five cosplayed, others had normal clothes. But I thought Meito said six of his friends were coming? Well, whatever, the less there is, the more happy I am. (As you can see, I don't really like Meito's friends.)

"My brother will come soon, he was stuck in the traffic", said one of them, Yuki was his name if I remembered right. Oh shit, there is one more coming after all...

When the brother came, the line was way longer than it had been. But when I saw the brother, I froze immediately. I had seen him yesterday.

"Hi, I'm sorry I'm late, I... Kaito?" he said. Oh, no! He regonized me!

"Oh... hi Yuu. Um... I didn't know you're otaku... and coming here..." And being so fucking pervert. Stop looking under my skirt!

"Why, you look good in that!" he commented. If anyone else is gonna say I look good in this shit, I'm gonna murder them all... I thought bitterly.

"You two know each other?" Meito asked and we both nodded, me hoping we didn't. I just didn't like this guy. He tried to flirt with me earlier! And I did not like flirting...

"We met when he was with my friend in a restaurant... You remember Gakupo, Yuki?" he said. Oooooooh shit... I'm so fucked right now... I hope Meito doesn't remember I mentioned Gakupo one time...

But unfortunately, Meito did remember I had mentioned him, and asked if we could talk in private. We walked to somewhere where was not that much people, and then he started his speech of pedophiles and cruel world and rape and drugs and everything. Or maybe just pedophiles.

"Kaito, are you serious?! Why were you at dinner with a sensei?"

"It was just one time, it's nothing serious!"

"What if he's gonna use you and then just leave you!"

"As I said, it was only one time and means absolutely nothing! And besides, Gakupo-"

"You're even calling him by his first name! Kaito, how do you know he even likes you?"

"It's not like that! We just had a deal of going on one date and it means nothing!"

"How did that even happen?"

"Well, remember me telling you that he's my tutor? I just knew he likes me, so I asked if he could raise my grades and in exchange..."

"But that's what tutoring is for."

"I want my grades to get a lot better, not just little!"

"But how do you know he likes you, not your looks? You know it's not just a compliment when calling you beautiful."

"He's not like that *blush*"

"Do you even like him?"

"Yes..."

Wait... What did I just say? No... I did not just say I like him! I quickly corrected it as a 'no', but Meito didn't believe me. "You can't trust him. Don't you know what a pedophile is?" he said and shaked his head.

"The first thing mom told me when I learned to walk was pedo bears", I answered. And that was not sarcasm, it was true. I quess my mom was a little paranoid, but hey, that's what parents are for.

He sighed. "The thing I want to say is that... I don't want anything to happen to you, you're like a brother to me. So be careful, okay? And if anything happens..." I cut him off by repeating I don't even like Gakupo. He chuckled and ruffled my hair and said: "You're such a tsundere."

"Am not!" We returned to the line as soon as we finished our talk of was I tsundere or not and sat down like everyone else in the line.

"It's really cold in here, isn't it?" Yuki said and wrapped his jacket better around him.

"Oh really, what do you think it's like in this costume?" I responded bitterly. It WAS cold, especially while wearing a short maid-dress. But I shouldn't have said that, because then everyone in our little group took their jackets off (expect for Meito and Akira, who were cosplaying and didn't have a jacket either) and offered them to me.

"You're impossible", I muttered. But I still thought it was really cold, so I couldn't resist their offer. But then again, they had a fight of who's jacket I would wear. Yuu was the only one not joining the fight and placed his jacket on my shoulders. I glanced at him and muttered: "You sly little fox..." He grinned and then the other's noticed I had someone else's jacket and then started to fight again.

Yuu's jacket was too big for me, so when I slided it on, my hands couldn't be seen because of the sleeves and it was so big my maid-dress's hem couldn't be seen either. Why was I so small? (Well, Yuu was five years older than me so of course he was taller than me and everything...)

"You look so cute", Akira (the one cosplaying) said. I blushed, again. I quess I did look cute because that jacket was so big, but you still don't have to say it! For me, the word 'cute' is an insult (actually, if Gakupo said that it wasn't that bad...) "Whatever", I mumbled. By the way, was everyone in here gay?

We had arrived really early, but it took more than hour to get in because the line was so tall. Well, some hard-core otakus had arrived at night and slept there, but there were only few of them, concidering that the night had been really cold. I still had Yuu's jacket when we went in, but I gave it to him as soon as I remembered - which means I walked around looking all weird in that jacket for two minutes.

We bought many doujinshis and manga and even some figurines- even though I didn't because the one Gakupo bought me was cool enough. After few hours, we decided to take a break and read our manga because we were so tired of carrying all that stuff around. We browsed each other's doujinshis and looked at the figurines and of course, Meito had bought yuri.

Akira and guys called Aoi and Kei had also bought yuri, others hentai, expect for Yuki and Yuu, who bought yaoi. See, I'm not the only guy who owns gay porn! Not that I read it anyway...

I was actually only one with no porn with me. I had just some normal, rated T or OT doujinshi, with humor as genre.

Then the three of us, who were cosplaying, were called by some girl otakus, who wanted to take some photos.

"Wow, that Mello Cosplay is so awesome, you look just like him!" one of the girls squealed as she took a picture of Meito.

"And that maid is so cuuute! You're such a sou-uke!"* said some other girl, who had blond hair. I blushed at the word 'sou-uke'. That was so not true! It was just the maid-dress...

When the girls dissapeared, we decided to continue our way too; there were still lots of comics to buy.

"Hey, mr. Sou-Uke, you dropped a doujishi", I heard Yuu's voice behind me. I turned around to say that I was not sou-uke, but couldn't even open my mouth because of the shock. Yuu was so close to me our chests touched and he grabbed my chin. My heart began to beat and I was afraid he would kiss me, but he just had something to tell me. And I hadn't even dropped any doujinshi! God, I hate that bastard more than Gakupo...

"Gakupo isn't someone who you think he is. What he cares about is only your body, and when it's his, he will only use it and gives no love to you", he whispered. He what? Use my body? God, how could someone be such a pervert?! And besides, I didn't even believe a word he said. Even though there was something heavy in my heart.

"But I could give you much more", he added and moved his other hand on my waist. I flushed and pushed him away. "I don't like him or you, so stay away from me", I almost screamed. I ran to the others, who hadn't seen the little scene. Meito glanced at me, probably knowing that something was wrong, but didn't say anything. Why was my life such a joke?

A/N
As I said in the beginning, the next chapter will be 10th chapter, and for some reason I'm really happy 'bout it! ^^

And if you're wondering, Meito's and Kaito's relationship is like they're brothers, so that's why they're so close. And sorry about Yuu, I just feel like I need (another) badass in this story, a one who likes Kaito. And wow, there's already three people who like Kaito... Gakupo, Len and Yuu... I think I need to make someone hate Kaito.

And two chapters in 1 week? (Even though it was saturday in where I live when I updated this so it was weekend and the week was almost over... I live in Finland, if you're wondering)

*Death Note is AWESOME manga/anime and Mello is a guy who looks like a girl (as oh-so-many-male-anime-characters) and eats chocolate all the time. Really, I wanna eat chocolate without becoming fat too!

*Sou-Uke means 'an ultimate uke'. And it's sooooooooooo true when it comes to some characters

Anyways, hope ya enjoyed, see you in the next chapter! (Why do I always say this...?)
