thank you so much for giving me the chance to fix my request. Zayne from LaDS with prompt 39. leaning on the others' side

Hello!! Hope you like this ficlet, I incorporated elements from your previous ask but I'm not sure if I did well 😅 I deliberately left your and Zayne's cosplays vague, so that they're left to the readers' imaginations (but I have specifics in mind).

Wanderer Expo 2048 You attend a pop culture convention for work. Zayne tags along.

Zayne's longcoat drapes askew on his shoulders, so you lead him to a corner clear of people. This early in the morning, the queue already reminds you of a high-level snake game, zigzagging around the open space trying not to crash into itself. The convention was kind enough to let you and Zayne in early so that you can do your job. With this volume of attendance, it's easy for a Wanderer to commit destruction and harm at the event.

With a thinly veiled smile you ask him, “Are you sure you don't want to wear the wig?”

Zayne shifts under the longcoat and adjusts his collar. He angles you an flat look. “No.”

“Suit yourself!”

It just so happens that the tip about a Metaflux occurrence takes place in a pop culture convention, and plenty of people arriving are dressed in their favorite characters. As you made your way towards the entrance half an hour ago you did a double-take on a cosplayer dressed as a giant blobbu. Next to them was a well-made costume of Heartbreaker. Vaguely you hoped that the real Heartbreaker wouldn't wander here.

You could have, of course, chosen to wear your hunter uniform; when asked, you could have passed it off as cosplay. But it's not often that you get to dress up as one of your favorite characters and drag Zayne into the fun too. Easier to blend in, you had said when Zayne frowned at the costume intended for him.

“Wrong hair, man!” somebody calls out to Zayne once you and he emerge into the hall.

Zayne sighs and you snicker, the paper bag containing the wig and contact lenses crinkling with the movement.

Lunch comes along and still no Metaflux alert. After your eighth lap around the perimeter looking for any sign of anomaly and finding none, you recoup with Zayne to buy a meal.

One hour later your watch blares.

“It's here!” And Zayne, now with a wig and contact lenses on, nods in understanding and prepares as well. You note to yourself that after this, you'll take a photo of him in his full cosplay regalia.

It's impressive that the organizers of this convention have arranged contingencies in the event of Wanderer appearance. The people are generally calm, guided away by calm ushers, though some have the mistaken impression that this is also part of the event—not that anybody's inclined to correct them.

There's only few Wanderers due to the low level Metaflux, which you and Zayne can take care of pretty quickly. Zayne freezes the Wanderers from attacking and you fire your guns at them for ultimate damage. It doesn't take too long, and the crowd cheers as the last remnants of Wanderers disappear in the air.

Swept by the energy, you turn around and wave at the onlookers. Behind you, Zayne shakes his head, a hint of a smile on his lips.

Cleanup is minimal, and the last of the organizers thanking you has already left. Sitting on a small bench next to a giant Astro Penguin statue, you stretch your limbs and pop your joints, and watch as Zayne approaches you holding two cones of ice cream. He hands you one.

“Any wounded or injured?”

“None, just minor scratches from their costumes,” Zayne answers in between licks.

“That's good to hear.” You scoot a little towards the statue and pat the space on your other side. “Why don't you sit next to me?”

On that small bench you and Zayne just barely fit, your sides flushed. Zayne's abandoned his longcoat and laid it on his lap and yours. The wig and contact lenses stay on.

“This is a nice reward,” you say, gesturing at the ice cream, and Zayne hums. “Let's stay like this for now, I'm very comfortable where I am.”

To punctuate your comfort, you entrust your weight to Zayne, who wraps his free arm around your waist and pulls you even further to him. He laughs, low and content. “What else do you want as reward?”

You make a show of thinking about it deeply. “Weeellll ...”

Then you look up at him—he's so close! enough to steal a quick kiss—and grin.

“Let me take a picture of you in complete costume next to this Astro Penguin, please?”

you know, I feel like I would play LADS more if they kept the mini games like the blobbu event, the jewel merging, and now the Meow Cafe. They look so cute and fun. They had my attention for days!

For real, like. I love the crane game and all, but at this point, we need more variety. I'd love to play one of the mini games they've already created to hit the chocolate limit every week

Sylus mentioned that he has... basically a DDR machine at his place too, so bringing back that rhythm game permanently would be perfect

And all the boys play video games with MC so the blobbu game would fit in just fine too

And if they put the jewel merging game permanently with a server-wide leaderboard, I fear I'd never touch grass ever again asdfalsdfkj

But you'd see my name somewhere on the board for sure

Got a bootleg stellablobbu even though I've never got to experience the blobbu event cos I wasn't playing LaDS at that point yet 😔 Anyway, he squeaks
