Unsociable Webtoon Artist Ren yayyy
"Thank you for supporting us! Enjoy the rest of the con!" With a bright smile, you wave away the two attendees and sit down.
The man beside you gives off a grumble as he loudly slides your chair closer to his. "Finally. 'Thought they'd never leave." He practically drapes himself over your shoulder, pink hair brushing against you. [REDACTED]'s lips press to your cheek, chin, then find a favored spot on your neck.
"You're gonna get us kicked out," you whisper, but make no move to get away.
"Don't get my hopes up."
You let him be. It was your last day in the artist alley. They'd done almost everything to keep people away from the booth, but the allure of Always With You merch and an autograph from the (disgruntled) creator was enough for a few devoted fans to approach.
Some even stopped by more than once.
"Heyyy you guys!" came the voice of a patron you'd seen plenty over the weekend. They wore an obscure cosplay each day, and today's outfit was a sight to see.
You stood up as they came closer — both of you ignoring your partner's tch of annoyance. "Oh my god. A Gloomy cosplay??" You scrambled out of the booth to get a closer look.
"Yeah, I just had to after yesterday. It was rushed, and I didn't really do too well with the wig—" They shake their head to let the dark bangs fall over their face. "—but I think it looks great, right?"
"It's amazing!! Ren, we've gotta take a picture!" Excitedly, you turned back to him.
He reluctantly stood, dragging himself over to you as if pulled by a leash. "We're not supposed t'leave the booth unattended, Angel. Regulations."
You give him a look. The gall of him to say that after running sabotage all weekend. "Okay, nerd. Make it quick then."
[REDACTED] pushes up his glasses and pulls out his phone. As you scoot beside the cosplayer, you suddenly remember his… horrible picture taking etiquette. "Actually, let me do it."
You take his phone — despite the screen being cracked to shit, it did have much better photo quality than yours — and nudge him towards your number one fan, then line up the shot.
The fan wore a huge grin, completely opposite to Gloomy's character. But someone had to be smiling in this picture. "Rennn," you goaded him.
He managed to draw his mouth into something more presentable than his trademark frown, and gave a sarcastic thumbs up.
It was the best you'd get. You snapped the photo.
💜🖤💜🖤💜🖤
You spent another twenty minutes gushing with the fan about AWY while [REDACTED] openly sulked. Having someone else around to match your non-stop-yapper energy had other attendees coming up to take a look. In spite of your partner's menacing aura, the cheery atmosphere of your booth didn't drop when the Gloomy cosplayer left. There was even a line for a little while.
By the time the artist alley closed, you'd sold way more than you expected. But you were exhausted.
"Ugh, I'm so glad we're not tabling tomorrow," you mutter as you shove the remaining merch box into his car.
Your blue eyed companion gave a smug smile over the open trunk. "Never goin' to a con again?"
"Not what I said." You roll your eyes and lean against the car. "Come here."
He slams the trunk shut, all too happy to have the ordeal over with. As they step closer, you're tempted to collapse into his arms.
Instead, you reach up to ruffle his pink mop of hair. "You survived another ten hours of people who aren't me. Good job."
The sudden blush creeping up his neck betrays his outward calm. "... 'S fine as long as y'had fun."
With a quick look around the parking garage to make sure no one was around, you decide to tease him further. "Who's my good boyyy?"
"Me," came his instant, proud reply. He lets you go on a bit longer before leaning down to bump his forehead against yours. "Ready to go home, love?"
"Oh good you're still here!" The smile on [REDACTED]'s face melts away into pure disgust, and you turn around to find the source of his mood.
The Gloomy cosplayer waves as they run over. "I forgot to give you my socials so you can tag me!" Surprisingly, they approach your notoriously unfriendly partner.
You can see the angry gears turning in his head as they hand him a crinkled napkin scribbled with their information.
They seem unperturbed and continue talking as he stands there with a frown. "I can't wait to see the picture! And for the next Always With You chapter. Gloomy is such a great love interest! He really compliments the main character so well and — I mean I don't need to tell you that but honestly they're my OTP!!"
"... … … … Thanks," [REDACTED] eventually replies. You stare in amazement. He hadn't said a word to them all weekend.
Someone across the garage shouts for them and they hurry away. "Bye!!"
Confused but somehow satisfied with the interaction, you take the paper from his hand before those unhealthy urges get the better of him. You both get into the car. [REDACTED] mulls over his thoughts, biting the corner of his lip for a few moments.
"I coulda ripped that stupid paper up in front o'them just now," he suddenly says. You nod. "But I didn't."
You nod again. "Yeah, you didn't."
He confidently nods along as he starts the engine. "So I deserve more praise n' head pats when we get home."
and I know that work on Unsent memories and on River is currently on hold and he has returned to Sai's original concept of him, but I don't have any new information about him yet, but I want to make memes, so please understand and forgive <з
