My Favorite Accessory is You 5/?

Fandom: Outlast Rating: Teen Characters: Eddie Gluskin / Waylon Park, off screen Miles Upshur Summary: Waylon is a semi-famous, genderfucking, thirst trapping cosplayer. Eddie is his costumer, sometimes cosplay partner, and fan favorite boyfriend. They also do memes. Contains: N/A Word Count: ~1600 AO3 Link

A year into their relationship, ten months into Eddie appearing in Waylon's cosplay work, six months after his face and name reveal, and he's finally agreed to join him in a video.

He's not sure what was the catalyst that led Eddie to agreeing, but Waylon's delighted to film something with him. Even more surprisingly, Eddie's chosen 'boyfriend tag' to be his first.

Waylon's fans love Eddie. They've been clamoring for more information, but Waylon won't ever push him to do anything he doesn't want to do. He'll ask and offer, but it's always Eddie's choice how much he wants to be involved and share with strangers.

His fans are going to lose their minds when the notifications go out.

@Way2Cosplay rarely posts on YouTube, so when the notification pops up on screen, they open it immediately.

His videos tend to be short and straightforward, longer ones are cosplay progress or behind the scenes footage, so seeing the preview image of Eddie laughing with Waylon makes their eyes bulge out of their head.

"Oh my god?!"

They practically smash the 'play' button, clutching their phone tightly and waiting with bated breath for the video to start.

It opens up with Waylon and Eddie on a slightly squashed, but comfortable looking couch, both angled towards each other and knees touching.

"Hi everyone! As you can see I'm doing a special video today answering some questions with my boyfriend, Eddie!" He glances over at Eddie and shoots him a wide smile, reaching for his hand and giving it a squeeze before turning back to the camera.

“We’ll be doing a riff on the boyfriend tag challenge, where we’ll both answer the questions for the other. I’ve already selected some, so let’s just dive right in!” Waylon makes a gesture towards the camera, clearly signaling someone to prompt them.

“Where did you meet?”

Eddie speaks up for the first time and they’re surprised by the unexpectedly light and soft tone of voice he has. For such a big guy, he sounds awfully sweet. They love him even more now.

“It was at a fabric store. Waylon quite literally ran into me and I was starstruck.” His gaze hasn’t left Waylon since he started speaking, looking absolutely head over heels for him.

“Eddie!” Waylon cries out, cheeks turning pink. “You didn’t need to tell them that!”

Eddie gives him a soft, teasing grin, “Ah, but it was an integral part of the story, darling. You can’t expect me to leave out how you quite literally took my breath away.”

A muttered “Jesus Christ” can be heard from the mysterious cameraman while Waylon sputters and reaches over to lightly smack Eddie’s arm for his teasing. “Okay, you two, knock it off. We have more questions to get through. Where was your first date?”

They both immediately groan and start speaking over each other. “It was that Italian-” “No, it was that hole in the wall-”

The cameraman cuts in again, “Nope! Not getting into this! Moving on! Where was your first kiss?”

Eddie does a double take before squinting his eyes at the cameraman. “A gentleman doesn’t kiss and tell.” He ends it with a haughty sniff, crossing his arms and turning his nose up at him.

Waylon is laughing silently next to him, hand over his mouth and tears in his eyes.

“Why did I agree to this... Who- aw, come on! Who said ‘I love you’ first?”

Waylon flushes pink. “Technically, me.”

Eddie shakes his head. “Drunken affection does not count. It was me.”

The sound of skin hitting skin can be heard, along with a muffled sound, before the next question is asked. “You’re sitting in front of the TV. What’s on the screen?”

Eddie furrows his eyebrows in concentration. “How accurate do I have to be? It’s usually an anime, but they vary between whatever we’re watching together and whatever he’s planning for his next costume.”

Waylon gives him a reassuring smile and pats his knee. “That’s perfectly fine.” He looks back towards the camera. “Eddie’s usually got some sort of competition show on. He likes to judge the contestants.”

Eddie makes a tsk sound. “They should know better if they’re going to compete for something. What’s the point of joining if you’re not going to seriously try to win?”

The cameraman seems to have decided he’ll be freed sooner if they just get through the list and jumps right into asking the next question. “What weird talent do you have?”

Waylon smiles in a charmingly confused manner. “I still don’t know how he does it, but Eddie can look at a person and guess their measurements within an inch. It’s really amazing.”

Eddie gives a little shrug of his shoulders, a small smile on his face. “It’s very helpful when I don’t have to disturb the actors before I can start working on their costumes. As for your talent...” He pauses for a moment before continuing. “I would say Waylon’s flexibility. Some of his poses are, quite frankly, very impressive.”

There’s a fake gagging noise behind the camera, even as Waylon gives Eddie a look more fitting for a startled deer in headlights, before grinning at him with pink cheeks.

“What have you learned from the other?”

“In that same vein, how much work it takes for Waylon to do all of this for a living. I could never have imagined how much effort is required for him to maintain his specific appearance and the physicality behind it all.”

Waylon laughs. “Thank you, Eddie. As for me: so many sewing tips. I’m endlessly grateful for his expertise in fabric, clothing design, and construction. It’s been a game changer.”

“You’re welcome, darling. I enjoy the challenges you bring with each new idea.”

"Are you a morning or evening person?"

"Oh, Eddie's an early bird. He'll be up before the sun is to get his workout in." Waylon shakes his head in disbelief.

Eddie playfully rolls his eyes. "Meanwhile, if you don't watch him, Waylon will be up half the night doing something or other." He puts a hand up, blocking his mouth from Waylon's view as if he's sharing a secret. "You need to bribe him to get him to go to bed at a decent hour."

Waylon gives Eddie another light smack. "Stop giving away all my secrets!" he laughs.

A muttered "Does that even count as a secret?" can be heard before the voice gets louder and asks, "Who's the organized one?"

"Eddie." Waylon's nods decisively. "You know the phrase, 'A place for everything and everything in its place'? He's a living embodiment of it."

Eddie raises a finger to signal to the cameraman to give him a moment to speak. "I do have to say that Waylon's half of our workroom is equally as well organized," he leaves just enough of a pause so Waylon's in the middle of smiling at him before continuing. "...when he's not in the midst of a crafting frenzy."

Waylon's expression instantly changes from fond affection to mock outrage. "Eddie! What did I do to deserve this?"

Eddie gives a big booming laugh, hand clutched to his chest as he throws his head back and then doubles over himself as he continues. Waylon tries to hold onto his stern, disapproving expression, but cracks up soon after, one hand braced on Eddie's knee to hold himself upright as he joins in.

A fondly murmured "Dorks." is barely audible under the laughter ringing through the room. He gives them time to settle down and catch their breath before asking the next question.

"What's your favorite videogame?"

Waylon lights up and claps his hands together in delight, before gesturing for Eddie to go first.

Eddie smiles fondly at him before looking back towards the camera. "Waylon likes platformers."

Waylon nods enthusiastically, looking ready to bounce out of his seat. "Yes, and Eddie's favorite is DDR! You should see him on the full arcade machines, it's amazing!" He gushes.

"I like the physicality of it; it's quite fun."

"Alright, alright, last one, you two. What's your song?"

They both get the same soft look on their face as they look at each other. "Anything for You."

The video cuts there, and they scream in excitement and disbelief. No, no, no, no, no! They can't leave it there! They need more! Oh god, that was gold?? What are they going to do with their life now that they have all this information? They're freaking out right now.

They have to watch it again.

A few weeks after the video is posted, Waylon gets something delivered to his professional PO box. It's addressed to Eddie.

"Eddie?” Waylon calls out. “You've got a package from a fan!”

Eddie comes into the room and takes it with a puzzled expression. “I still don’t understand what they see in me.”

“That you’re an attractive sweetheart, even when you’re being terrible and teasing me? Oh no, what’s not to like?” He jokes.

Eddie laughs. “I suppose I had that coming.” He sets it onto their dining room table and opens it carefully. Inside is a beautiful looking doll, that’s a little larger than a foot. “Darling, what is this?”

Waylon peeks into the box. “Oh! That’s a ball-jointed doll! They’re really big with collectors and doll customizers. Is there a letter anywhere?”

Eddie carefully takes the doll out and checks. “Ah, here it is.” He reads it aloud for Waylon to hear.

Dear Eddie,

I’m a big fan of yours and Waylon! When I heard you mention your costuming work and how you like the challenge of cosplay in the video, I just couldn’t stop thinking how you might really like to design outfits for a BJD! I hope it’s not too much, but I wanted to send you one. I hope you like it and thank you so much for everything!

Your fan, DJT

“Oh, that’s really sweet of them! What do you think, will you try it?”

Eddie looks stunned, glancing back and forth between the letter and the doll. “Y-yes. I think I will.”

Waylon smiles and pats his arm gently. “What will you name her?”

Eddie takes a few minutes to consider and discard names until he finds one that suits her. “Miss Adelaide.”

Waylon gives Eddie and Miss Adelaide a soft smile. “Welcome to the family, Miss Adelaide.”
