Junie is a shy cosplayer and content creator who finds it difficult to allow others to get close to her. She finds that posting videos online about making costumes fills the void caused by her loneliness.
During a convention, she meets Kian, a fellow cosplayer and content creator who is determined to pull Junie out of her shell. Although the connection she and Kian share is electric, Junie finds herself retreating to her reclusive ways. But Kian is determined to be with her.

“You frustrate me so much,” Kian grumbled, his hand slipping through Junie’s hair as he held her close.
“That’s my line,” she mumbled, sliding her hands around Kian’s sides to rest them on his back. “You’re the one who refuses to listen.”
He quirked a thick eyebrow down at her. “And yet, you’re still here.” 
She wasn’t sure if she wanted to throttle the man or kiss him. “You’re here. Where else would I be?”

Quit Cosplaying with My Heart

Junie felt as if she was actually being led to a dungeon. They continued down a dimly lit hallway with walls that were made to look as if they were made of stone. The cheerful worker who was leading them along had fairy wings poking out of her long blue cloak. 


“Where are we going?” Junie asked for what felt like the hundredth time. 


The girl looked over her shoulder at them, giving the two a mischievous grin. “To be reunited with your friends, you must prove the trust you have in one another.” 


Junie huffed a bit. “That doesn’t answer my question,” she muttered. 


Kian nudged her lightly, bumping his shoulder against hers. His voice was low, quiet enough to where their escort couldn’t hear. “If you’d like to leave, I’m sure we could just ask her to take us back to the others. We could word it in a way so we don’t break character.”
