Day Three

John and Alex met at the same place the next day. Once again Alex was there first. He felt much better about his cosplay today then he had the other two days. His wig was much more normal and he didn't have to wear eye-liner. Plus he still got to wear a button up t-shirt and jeans. He was just happy he was allowed to wear a shirt considering he was cosplaying as Gray.

When John walked into the coffee shop Alex nearly choked on his coffee. John was wearing a dress today, had long blue hair, and he had… boobs! Don't tell anyone this, but Alex actually thought he looked kind of hot. Not that he would ever say that to his face. John stalked over.

"Wow John you went all out!" Alex said a light blush dusting his cheeks.

"Anything for the cosplay!" John shrugged trying to regain some of his dignity.

"Yeah whatever. You ready to get going rain woman?"

"Sure, just make sure not to strip Alex."

"That's Gray-sama to you." Alex laughed.

Alex was actually sad that today was the last day of the convention. He had gotten to spend so much time with John over the weekend he was sure he would go into withdrawal after not seeing him for a day. Not to mention that people shipped the people they were cosplaying as.

John wanted to make sure that the last day was the best so he'd been dragging Alex around practically non-stop. So far today they had, sung karaoke, watched a collection of different animes for two hours, looked at more of the shops, been asked to pose for five pictures, and watched the AMV contest. Finally John decided that it was time for a break.

"So what's the plan for the rest of the day?" Alex asked he as he collapsed in chair.

"Food, food, and then there's a dance we can go to." John's stomach growled.

Yum, food! Wait, a dance. With John. I mean it's not like a date or anything but still! This is my big chance! No, don't be stupid. I can't risk ruining our friendship. "Sure sounds fun!" Luckily John didn't see the small frown that graced Alex's face as he said this. Alex seemed a little subdued well they ate lunch.

Despite his earlier mood Alex was in very high spirits at the dance. Him and John were having a ball dancing crazily to the anime themes being played. Although John was having a slightly difficult time dancing in his dress. Especially, because of all it's 'special effects'.

As the two sat down to take a break they were approached yet again, this time by a girl wearing a gertrude cosplay.

"Hi, if you two wouldn't mind. Could I take a picture of you? Gruvia is one of my OTPs."

"Yep, of course."

"Thanks!"

"No problem, we'll even pose for you!" Alex said happily. The girl smiled and got her camera ready. John gave him a look that clearly said "Well what should we do?". Damn he looked cute. As if some other force were moving him Alex stepped forward and kissed John. Right on the mouth.

Oh shit! I'm an idiot. I'm an idiot. I've ruined it! Why did I have to kiss him! Wait… he's kissing me back! Holy shit! John Laurens is kissing me back. After what seemed like forever but, obviously, wasn't the two split apart.

Everything else was a blur to Alex. John gave her his email, she said thanks and ran away yelling something that sounded suspiciously like "It's canon!"

"So…" John started but stopped just as quickly.

"So…" Alex agreed, "I'm really sorry. I just had an urge, and apparently I can't control myself at all, and it just happened, and oh god I need to write something. It's been so long. I'm sorry again, so sorry, now I have to go!" Before Alex could run away John grabbed his shoulder.

"You had an urge?" John asked smiling.

"Yeah, um well… Laurens, I like you… A lot! And well you looked so cute, and it just sort of happened. I'm really sorry." Alex tried to walk away again, only to be once again stopped by John.

"Hamilton," John smirked, " I like you a lot."

Even as John and Alex leaned in towards each other Alex couldn't stop thinking. I wonder who moved in first. I couldn't tell. That means we probably both moved in at the same time. That's always the sign of a relationship that will last awhile right? I'm an idiot I should have just confessed earlier. If only I knew how could of a kisser he'd be then I definitely would hav- For the first time in forever Alex's brain was at a loss of words. And it was all because of Hercules Mulligan's cosplays and John Laurens kisses.

All the Gruvia shippers in the hall sighed, one of whom was definitely Hercules Mulligan. His best friends really did owe him big time.

I hoped you enjoyed the story!

Bye, bye!
