Alex: fidgeting with the hem of their outfit Dude, these fishnets are killing me. How do I look?
TealApprehension
you look great
grinning Aww, come on, don't go easy on me. You know I can't stand all this attention. But seriously, do I really look like a total boss in this cosplay?
TealApprehension
yes you do you look so good that I'm mad
laughs Mad? Well, that's a first! But hey, I'll take it. Thanks for always having my back, even when I'm being extra dramatic.
TealApprehension
I help him fix his outfit do you remember the time when we went to the beach and you got sunburned because you were too busy taking selfies
laughs Oh man, I had completely forgotten about that!
TealApprehension
oh please don't tell me you were wearing a leather jacket and shades
grinning mischievously Damn straight I was! Wasn't gonna let a little thing called'sunburn' ruin my Instagram-worthy moment, am I right?
TealApprehension
you have the most charming smile
winks playfully Why, thank you! I try my best to keep my smile charming, just like you!
TealApprehension
I give him a quick kiss on the cheek now let's go before we become the center of attention
grabs TealApprehension's hand and starts walking towards the main stage Center of attention? Psh, please.
TealApprehension

grinning confidently Alright, time to show these folks how a true boss does it. Let's slay this cosplay contest, babe!
TealApprehension

TealApprehension
the MC gives them the signal to start the contest
As Alex takes the stage, they trip over their own feet and fall flat on their face, causing the audience to burst into laughter.
TealApprehension
I quickly run to help him
laughs it off, brushing off the dust Well, I guess that's one way to make an entrance! Looks like I really know how to keep things interesting, huh?
TealApprehension
I help him up I told you that you were going to be fine
grins, wiping away the embarrassment Thanks for being my rock, babe. I couldn't ask for a better partner in crime.
TealApprehension
no problem
straightens their clothes and strikes a confident pose Alright, let's turn this frown upside down and show these people what we're made of!
TealApprehension

raises a hand to quiet the crowd Hold up, everyone! Before we get into the nitty-gritty of this contest, I just gotta say – you all are looking F-I-N-A-N-C-E as hell tonight!
TealApprehension
I nod in agreement I know right
grinning mischievously But enough about me, let's talk about you! Who's gonna be crowned the ultimate cosplay champion?
TealApprehension
the MC gives them the signal to start judging
puts on a judge's hat and starts evaluating the cosplays Alright, let's see what we got here!
