Christina tugged on the hem of her boots as she waited in line to enter the convention center. The stockings she wore underneath them usually helped the boots stay up but one of them was annoyingly falling down slightly and it irked her, especially since it was the start of the day. With her hair bunched up underneath a wig that turned her hair into a short bob cut, she had only needed the long sleeved short red dress and leather harness holsters to complete the look of Ada Wong. Nicholas beside her was dressed in the blue shirt, pants, holsters, and blonde hair to mirror Leon Kennedy from the recent RE4 remake. Christina was not the most aware of the background of the Resident Evil series but Nicholas being very much a nerd and a geek was quite a fan and she had agreed to dress up for the convention that he was going to with his friends. Being a gaming, comics, and art expo she was excited for the art she might find to put up on her walls, or pick up some gifts for her friends.

They were meeting up with some of Nicholas’s friends inside but based on the group chat, they were all running late and the couple entered the convention before they arrived so they would have to wait a bit. They spent some time wandering some of the stores that were primarily costume or prop based closer to the entrance. They came across one store that brought a giggle out of both of them as they saw prop handcuffs, the bamboo bit gag used by Nezuko in Demon Slayer, and other costume props and items. Nicholas then got a glint in his eye that she knew all too well and from his bag withdrew a pair of hinged handcuffs from their toy stash.

Christina’s eyes widened as he held them up. Part of her was not at all surprised that he had brought some form of bondage items along with them, part of her surprised he was willing to do this so publicly but she also was very excited about the potential. “Up for a little roleplay?” He asked her.

With her vague knowledge of the history of the two characters, she knew there was something about Ada betraying Leon despite falling in love with him and knew it somewhat fit into making sure she didn’t run off on him again and smiled before turning around and presenting her wrists behind her back. It would be a little awkward if she spent the con cuffed, especially if she wanted to buy things but if Nicholas was going to cuff her, he was also going to be responsible for everything she needed to do for the duration. The cold metal locked around her wrists, just in between the cuffs of her dress and the black leather gloves she wore and they were tightened until they gripped her wrists comfortably. Spinning her back around, Nicholas leaned down to kiss her and they heard at least one wolf whistle around them and Christina blushed as she realized how many convention goers were now looking or staring at the couple.

“Making sure she’s not running off on you again?” One guy dressed as Luffy from One Piece laughed as he passed by.

“Oh for sure, she’s not escaping me this time.” Nicholas responded which caused a laugh out of the nearby crowd.

Much to Christina’s relief, the crowd began to disperse as they lost interest and realized that she probably wasn’t getting more tied up than what she already was. They resumed wandering the stores, covering nearly half of the first hall before they got a call from Josh and managed to locate their friends. They attracted a fair number of looks as they made their way back towards the entrance, where Isabelle, Josh, Johnny, Angela, and Matthew. Isabelle was staring at Christina with wide eyes, while Johnny and Angela, who Christina had seen previously do some kinky things during the halloween party a few months ago, were both grinning at her. Matthew and Josh both looked pretty surprised, but took it in stride as they saw the costumes. Johnny and Angela had chosen to dress up in outfits from Avatar the Last Airbender but the rest were in normal street clothes.

They set off into the main hall, down the alley of artist booths as well as some of the larger displays by some big sponsors. Christina hadn’t been to a convention in some time and it was a lot busier than she remembered it ever being as she manoeuvred her way around people in the narrow aisles as she inspected the posters and creations made by tons of local and not so local artists. She did stop to chat with a number of the artists and started a collection of business cards that she was storing in her tote bag. They were also stopped several times by photographers going around taking pictures of cosplayers and Christina knew that eventually there would be multiple pictures of her handcuffed online but it was all a part of the roleplay, or at least that’s how she would spin it. Tons of others snapped pictures of her as well and Christina did have to remind herself it was a nerd convention, it was probably a very new sight to them to see a booted and cuffed cosplayer wandering around.

Nicholas eventually relented and switched her hands to be cuffed in front so she could take things and pay and many of the vendors commented on the cuffs with a smile and a laugh. Her friends also made many comments about it, receiving a lot of poking and prodding from Angela while her hands were helplessly cuffed behind her but once they were in front Chirstina made sure to return the favour when she could. Eventually they worked their way through the whole convention, lining up to get pictures with one artist that both Christina and Nicholas followed and with bags full of purchases, the group eventually headed for the exit.

The cuffs were removed and the group all headed out to dinner before making their way home. Heading back to Nicholas’s place, Christina was quite relieved to finally get home after spending the entire day out at the convention in the crush of people and it felt much more relaxing to be away from people in general, although the moment they were through the door and placed their purchases on the table Nicholas was on her in a flash and she found her hands cuffed behind her again. “He-mmmph!” She opened her mouth to protest before a ballgag was shoved between her teeth and buckled at the base of her neck, for once not having to worry about tangling the strap in her hair since it was still under the wig. “Shhhh Ms. Wong, you’re not getting away from me that easily.” Nicholas grinned as he got into the roleplay.

Christina still was very tired, but she was already all dressed up and figured she may as well play along here. “Mmmmph!” She growled around the gag, trying to show some semblance of fiery resistance as she was grabbed by her elbows and dragged towards the bedroom. Soon leather cuffs were buckled around her ankles and the chain looped around the base of the bed while her hands were recuffed above her head to the headboard. A blindfold soon descended to cut off her vision and she heard Nicholas going around the room preparing something. “And now Ms. Wong.” He said as he climbed up onto the bed and Christina giggled slightly at how much he was getting into things. “Let’s talk…”
