Eleanor's was a classy café, the sort businessmen like scheduling informal meetings and the type that couples could have a first, second, third date without getting bored. With modern furniture and dim lights, the ambience was comfortable enough to enjoy the view, but not too much as to distract from conversation. That didn't stop Christian's mind from wondering, his foot tapping softly under the table, impatient, anxious. Chris was a handsome young man, a scholar, a hard worker, who did charity and had a good family. All sorts of girls were interested in him, but that good family of his was the one to decide who he would date. He was the heir of a company, of course, so he could only have the best.
Today, he would be going on his first date with his soon to be fiancee, he'd be meeting the girl he'd have to marry and live with for at least the next five to ten years, to keep his parents happy and the company strong. Although said girl had yet to arrive, that was not what had our main character so worried: if she kept dwindling, he wouldn't be able to make it to the contest in time.
Chris, as normal as his calm face and collected looks portrayed him, was a closet otaku, and not in the American use of the world. He was a bit of a geek, collecting figures of too many series to count, collecting books of too many manga to read. He played video games obsessively at night, and downloaded new chapters of anime during classes to watch during his daily breaks. Buut the mot important thing for him, the most fun of all, was cosplay! Cosplay was when he got to dress up as another character, as a being of anime or manga, or his latest video game obsetion, and he could just stop being himself for a few minutes to enjoy the fame they had. It was hard to cosplay, as no one but fans could know who he was, but today there was such an event: a convention. He had to get to the convention by four to sign up for the contest at six, and of course he still had to dress up and get into character. Why did he pick Luffy to cosplay today, with the makeup and props it involved, specially for the costume he hand in mind? Why can't this girl just hurry up and get here so I can leave?!
