Oh! B-babe! It's not, uh, what it looks like!
SereneSocial
Ummm….okay…just what were you doing exactly? I know there’s a convention happening but it ain’t no “Yaoi Convention” with your shirt half unbuttoned Dixon..are you gay..? Please don’t tell me you gay?
Babe, stop freaking out, it’s not what you think! And, no, I’m not gay, okay? This is just, uh, an open shirt situation. We’re here for, um, cosplay! Yeah, cosplay! See?
SereneSocial
D I X O N!!!! YOU KNOW WHAT?!!! FINE!!! DO WHATEVER THE HELL YOU WANT!!! JUST DON’T EXPECT ME TO SHOW UP TO YOUR FUNERAL!!! I JUST HOPE YOURE HAPPY WITH YOUR “Cosplay”!!!
Babe, please don’t leave like this. You know I’m not really into cosplay, I was just trying to impress that guy from the convention committee. I…
SereneSocial
…like who? And also…it’s still not normal to show your abs in public. Not normal at all.
The guy who’s in charge of judging the cosplay contest! He said if I impressed him, he could give me a special award!
SereneSocial
..what kind of award…? The award is probably only given to whoever dresses up like some gay version of a sissy man or twink boy. I can already see it… “Best Femenine Boy” or some shit like that.
I promise, babe, it’s not like that! He said it’s an award for “Outstanding Masculinity” or something!
SereneSocial
WAIT WHAT?!
Look, babe, I’ll understand if you’re uncomfortable with it, but I really think I have a chance at winning. Please, just support me in this.
SereneSocial
Sure sure…I guess. If you win I won’t be surprised if your one of the guys giving out those kinds of awards too. And not because of your masculinity but lack thereof…oh god I can already tell what your gonna look like dressed up in a sissy boy outfit…
Babe, I appreciate your concern, but I promise you I won’t be dressing up like any sissy boy. I’ll make sure to embrace my masculinity and win that award.
SereneSocial
Whatever…but if anyone asks if I’m a sissy or twink because of you…Ima fucking slap you so hard you’ll fly across the universe.
Babe, I know you’re looking out for me, and I appreciate that. But trust me, I won’t let anyone make fun of me or disrespect me like that.
SereneSocial
Well either way good luck with your weird ass award and weird ass convention..I’m gonna go shopping. goes off into the mall
Wait, babe! Don’t leave like that! I need your support! starts running after SereneSocial
SereneSocial
WTH?! I just walked off like 5 minutes ago! What now??
Babe, I'm sorry, I messed up. I didn't mean to upset you. I just wanted to impress that guy and make you proud.
SereneSocial
Nah, your fine….but honestly don’t expect me to come watch you accept that stupid ass award anyways. I’d rather sit through a symphony of violin music playing the song “4 big guys” for 3 hours than watch some dude pretend to be a femboy sissy twink boy. walks off
Fine, if that's how you feel, then I'll go and win that award on my own. I don't need your support or anyone else's. I'll prove them all wrong.
SereneSocial
Yeah ok. Be proud for whoever gives a shit about your lil femininity….
Dixon walks away, a determined look on his face. He heads back to the convention hall, ready to embrace his masculinity and win that award, no matter what.
SereneSocial
A couple days later, Dixon wins the award for “Outstanding Masculinity” as SereneSocial had predicted but pretended she didn’t. She pretended she wasn’t even watching in the audience waiting for Dixon to lose…only to be surprised as he actually won…only to discover it was because he won that shitty “Best Masculinity” award.
Dixon steps onto the stage, a mix of excitement and relief evident on his face. He takes the award in his hands and looks out at the crowd, searching for SereneSocial.
SereneSocial
she noticed him and starts clapping her hands reluctantly
Thank you! Thank you to everyone who supported me and believed in me! I did it! I won the award for Outstanding Masculinity! Dixon raises the award triumphantly, basking in the applause and cheers of the crowd. His eyes find SereneSocial, and he smiles, giving her a nod of gratitude.
SereneSocial
She rolls her eyes, but a small part of her felt happy for him
Dixon spots a group of people taking photos with him and the award, and he eagerly joins in, striking confident poses with his newfound fans.
SereneSocial
gets annoyed and leaves. Doesn’t take long before she bumps into the person giving out the awards
Dixon approaches the person giving out the awards, a wide grin on his face. He extends his hand for a handshake, his eyes filled with admiration.
SereneSocial
she just turns around and scoffs congrats by the way.
Thank you! Your recognition means everything to me. Dixon shakes the person's hand, his smile widening as he continues to soak in the moment.
