The Anime Man and I [DISCONTINUED]

"What just happened?" Shine crouch down and asked. Joey stayed silent for a moment thinking why everything turned out like this. He was just telling her that it was not his business either she took a picture with a guy or not. And for goodness sake, it was just a picture. He sighed when the scene of him stopped the guy earlier from taking a picture of (Y/n) flashed through.

'It was two different things. That guy obviously has some kind of ulterior motive and Shine doesn't...' Joey paused and looked at Shine, 'Shine is a guy too. He not having a motive is...' He inwardly gasp.

Shine noticed him looking and raised a brow. "What?"

Joey shook his head and just exasperatedly sighed punching the ground with force that instantly startled Shine. "Damn it!" He cursed and stood up.

"Where are you going?" Shine grabbed his wrist to stop him. He turned back, "you go with Kat, and I'm going to look for her." He said removing Shine's hand. Shine then nodded. Joey was about to proceed of finding (Y/n) when he heard Shine called him out. Joey again turn his back to face him, he was already in a quite far distance. But then Shine walks over, he seemed to be giggling about something.

"I didn't know you're such a possessive type of boyfriend." He giggled making Joey raise a brow. "You should have directly told me that you don't want any guy taking pictures with her." Shine said and laugh, "Good luck lover boy!" Shine pat his shoulder.

"Huh? Look, I think you're mistaken something here. She's not-," Shine hushed Joey before finishing his words.

"I know but I wouldn't say that if I were you," Shine travelled his sight to his surroundings, "especially not here. I don't know if you noticed but... There are a lot of guys here who are dying to take her photo. It doesn't really matter if they want to take a photo with her since she's in a cosplay and this is a cosplay con but it's quite odd that they are not being persistent about it unless..." Shine avert back his sight at him. "You did something that made them step back."

Joey widens his eyes at what Shine just said. It's not like he did something, it's just he announced earlier to the guy that no one is allowed to take her photo without him in it. He might have said it out loud that some who are near heard him but it obviously doesn't apply to everyone. 'Or is that really what I'm thinking when I announced it earlier.'

"Anyway, you should start looking for her already before some perverts decided to hit on her." Shine said stopping for an instance. "Oh... I forgot you're a pervert too." He grinned as Joey glared back in response. Before Joey could retort back, Shine already find himself an exit.

So Joey then started looking for (Y/n). It didn't take long for him to spot her. He saw her standing and facing a certain wall. It was indeed weird but he needs to talk to her. So without any hesitation, he approached her. He called her and grabbed her shoulder so he could see her face. As Joey finally done it, he then couldn't help but gaped in surprise at the one (Y/n) was holding in her arms. It was a cat.

The Anime Man/ Joey is known to have likings to cats. He even said to himself that he would date a real life human cat if they truly exist. But to think that he actually have allergies in cat makes everything turned shit.

So he, with a speed of light backed away at (Y/n). He wouldn't like his allergies to act up, do he?

***

As for Shine, he just went to where Kat was.

Kat was staring at some cake. When he happened to see her. Though, Kat had immediately noticed his presence.

"What are you doing here, Shine?" She asked not taking away her sight on the cake.

"I'm here to eat and planning not to invite you." He said monotonously though he was just joking. But Kat took it seriously that earned him a glare.

"Hahaha," he laughed nervously, "that was a joke." He meekly said.

"Okay, so where is Joey?"

"With the 'interesting' girl." He casually answered as Kat threw a puzzled look. "What?" Shine reacted.

"Interesting?" Kat pardoned.

"Yes, interesting. You didn't saw what happened earlier since you went here but on what happened I started to think she's the real life Taiga in Toradora. Not entirely but a part of her that I actually find interesting." Shine further explained unconsciously smiling as he spoke.

"Hmmm," Kat hummed sounding suspicious on what Shine said. "Is that only what really in it." Kat said. Shine couldn't really hear what she said because it was just a low mutter. "Be careful Shine." This time it was said loud enough for Shine to hear.

"Huh? What do you mean?" He creased his brows.

"Just be careful." Kat said once again. 'And don't get hurt if I happen to assumed it right.'
