/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

>do some cosplay photography just as a hobby
>become good friends with one of the cosplayers over the years
>very sweet person, does not have that certain toxic streak I've been noticing in other cosplayers
>hang out more and more together, share secrects and whatnot
>reveal to her I've been wanting to go brolita, show my wardrobe. She helps with makeup, goes to events with me to make things less nerve-wracking
>can't help but start falling in love with her
>know it's no good because she's a lesbian (which I've been aware of basically since the day we've met)

Not quite a 'tf when no gf' kind of feel because true friends are rare so I should cherish what we already have going but it does get painful from time to time
