T'was another con in which I traveled with Luxy. He picked me up on Thursday after work and we went to my place to get all my things. After a bit of back tracking, we were finally on our way. We made it to Coloma around 10pm and parked the car in front of the hotel. Velocity had gone earlier that day to get our key so we wouldn't be locked out, so we met her halfway, grabbed the key and hung out at her house for a while. She came back to the hotel with us, to help with our bags and to unwrap the birthday presents I got her. Around 4am, Luxy wanted to go to bed. Velocity and I weren't tired and it was my first time in her hometown, so she showed me around. We walked around the entirety of the town, aside from maybe the back end because it was too dark to see. I walked her back to her house and she asked me if I wanted to stay for a bit longer. Declining because I knew we both needed sleep, she loaned me her flashlight so I could find my way back. We stood on her front porch for a bit, enjoying each other's company and watching the sky. We saw a shooting star and had our first kiss. Headed back on my own with a smile on my face and fell asleep without getting in my PJs.
Got up about 4 hours later, half assed into my England cosplay, walked to Velocity's to help her finish and gather things and then her and I walked around town for a bit, seeing the things I didn't the night before and meeting her dad. After that we loaded our things into the car and drove the car to her house. We dicked around while we waited for Asuma and Serra. We had the idea to have our con parents take her luggage and have Velocity ride with us. It was a great idea and all parties were good with it. We got to the con in about an hour, then tried to check in. I got overheated, so took off what I could of my cosplay without being indecent in public. We got to the room, brought in our luggage and settled in. I changed into civvies and tried to take care of my face, since I had no time that morning. Had a breakdown in the bathroom (I have PCOS and it causes me to have a decent amount of facial hair) and Velocity calmed me down. After that she showed me around the con so I could know where everything was. Poked around in some other places before heading back to the room and changing for the formal ball. It took me a while to get into my dress, as it was a lace up bodice type thing and it wasn't made very well by the commissioner. I didn't want Velocity to see me until I was done, so the poor woman was holed up in the bathroom dying of heat (we could hear "Are you done yet?" every 5 or so minutes). The effect was well worth it, as I could see her blush and she didn't say much when everyone asked her how I looked. She pinned my flower to me, we put on our masks and headed down. We stayed for all of an hour, two 15 minute stretches of that were used for actually getting out there and dancing together. We met up with Chibi and Snow while there, having made plans shortly after Detour to go on a double date. Before and after the dance we got stopped for a lot of pics. Oddly, Ukraine must be more ignored than Canada, since more people wanted pics of her alone than with me. The four of us went to Denny's for a couple hours and had a lot of fun that we made it an annual thing for Geek.Kon. On the walk back we all talked about our relationships together (how we met, how long we'd been together, etc.) and stopped in the lobby for pictures together. After getting news from Serra that the toilet had some issues, we went back and chilled after getting out of cosplay (Velocity fell asleep on my legs). We wanted to check out the game room, so while I donned raver!China, Velocity put on my punk!England shirt and pants and messed around there for a couple hours with Luxy after all 3 of us sharing a drink. Came back and went to bed. Slept until we couldn't sleep anymore, went outside so Velocity could smoke and we could look through Sohma's bag of anime swag she's trading and stuff. Went back in, took a shower and got into a casual Ukraine outfit while Velocity got into Canada and went down to get in line for Jerry Jewell's autograph. That was such a fun experience! I greeted him as Ukraine and he answered as Russia, where he also sat on Velocity (in reference to all the times Russia sits on Canada). We spent some time in the room to relax before getting ready for the Yu Yu Hakusho photoshoot, were Velocity had to run out to the car because she forgot her wig. We had a small group, but it was a wonderful variety with no doubles. Kurama, Touya, Jin, Botan, Suzaku and Kouko (later finding out Jin was the famous Apeliotus I'd been watching on DA for YEARS) and it was such a blast getting pictures with them all. Later Velocity and I got into civvies and went on a date alone together, getting to know each other a bit more in person, as it was the first time we'd seen each other for more than a few hours since Detour. Spent about an hour at MCD's, then came back to the con to meander for a bit, play more video games then went to bed. I borrowed Velocity's Canada wig that next morning and she borrowed the entirety of my England cosplay. We loaded everything into our respective cars and just went around the con, talking to friends and looking at things. Did a private photoshoot together, which ended up being cute and sweet. Not wanting to part ways so soon, the idea to go the way we came was proposed, so we drove her home. We all got some pictures together on her front porch, then she and I got pics in her backyard. We were about to leave when Velocity ran up to stop the car. She motioned for me to open my car door, which I did, and leaned in to kiss me for a prolonged amount of time (which, not only made me blush, Luxy gave me shit for ("MOMMY'S SUCKING FACE!")). After a hilarious ride home, which I was texting Velocity about half the trip for, I made it back around midnight and went to bed.
