On a day like any other, you peered out the window in your dorm with an indifferent expression on your face. You were bored, more so than you had been in a long while. As a new first year, not much has been happening besides training for the sister school event. The two other first years had told you that another student had died before you arrived which bummed you beyond reason. Based off the stories they told, you were sure you would have gotten along very well with him.

Even if you hadn't been able to meet the other student, you got on well with Megumi and Nobara just fine. So fine, in fact, you had developed a small crush on Nobara during your short amount of time spent at Jujutsu Tech. Something about her unusually bubbly personality pulled you in and you were left wanting to find out more about her. You wanted to know what brand of toothpaste she liked best, if she likes drinking tea before bed. You especially wanted to know where her interests lied.

Despite having a crush on her, you didn't even know if she was into girls or not. You knew you were setting yourself up for disappointment if it turns out she doesn't like girls, but you couldn't stop yourself from falling for her. A knock on the door broke your train of thought and you asked who it was. When her voice came from the other side of the door, you felt your heart leap into your throat.

You called her in and when she stepped in with that same smile as always, you felt yourself go soft. That smile haunted you in the best way possible. You sat up on your bed and watched as she walked a little closer, her smile turning a little shy. "I know it's our day off of training, but I was just wondering if you would like to go shopping with me?"

At this, your eyes widened. "Of course! Should I get dressed?" You answered quickly. Maybe a little too quick.

She giggled at how eager you were. "I think you look fine now, but if you would like, you can change." She suggested.

You hummed for a moment, before finally deciding to change. You quickly walked to the closet and began searching for an outfit before pulling out a simple skirt and large sweater. As you wee about to lift your current shirt over your head, you turned to Nobara, who was still watching you. "Uhh... can you turn around for a second?"

"Oh! Shit- Right! Sorry-" She turned around quickly, trying to hide the blush that had risen to her cheeks.

You giggled before changing quickly and putting on some shoes. "Ready."

She turned and only stared for a second before smiling again. "Great! You look great- let's go!"

~~~

At the mall, you and Nobara had gone through at least 6 stores already and she had bought half as many outfits, claiming she wouldn't be leaving empty-handed. You smiled the whole way through, giving opinions when she called you into the dressing room to ask how she looked. Too many times already, you had nearly blurted out just how amazing you thought she looked before shutting yourself up so as to not reveal your true feelings for her.

And though you had gone through so many stores, you hadn't tried anything on, which made Nobara question whether you were truly having fun. After stopping for a quick snack and leaving to go to a few more stores, Nobara finally brought it up to you.

Stumbling over your words, you had to scramble for a believable answer. "I am having fun, I promise! I love spending time with you, I do! I just... I- I don't think any of these stores really have my size?"

At this, you saw her expression darken. "That's it? You weren't trying anything on because you're insecure?" She got dangerously close and if you didn't know any better, you were sure she would heave beat you up. "We're going to go into another store, I'm going to pick an outfit in your size and you. are. trying. it. on."

At that point you were nervous beyond words. Not just because of what she said but alo because she was so close you could practically feel her air.  "O- okay."

She dragged you to one of her favorite stores and made a b-line for a section she had been looking through, thinking about how you would have looked so good in some of the skirts a few days ago. She dug through the shirts before picking one out, already knowing your size and going back to looking for a skirt. She found a few, but only one of them stood out to her. It was a form-fitting purple skirt that sparkled when the light hit it just right. And the best part? There were pockets AND the glitter didn't stick to your hands. She shoved the clothes in your arms before glaring and pointing to the changing room. 

You dragged your feet as you walked to the changing room with your head down. being as dramatic as possible. Nobara had already taken a seat by one of the curtains though, and wasn't having it. "Pick it up, (Y/N), I'd like to see that damn outfit already."

You sighed before walking at a normal pace to the room and closing the curtain. You quickly removed the clothes you were wearing and looked at the clothes she had picked with dread filling you. You pulled the shirt on first, before pulling the skirt on. Looking in the mirror, you instantly hated it. The skirt was too tight, accentuating your little pudgy stomach you hated so much. The shirt, which you had tucked under the skirt, was tight in the sleeves, leaving you feeling sick. As you continued to criticize yourself, tears welled up in your eyes and you didn't hear Nobara worriedly calling your name. 

As the curtain opened, you snapped back to reality. Nobara gasped, seeing the tears rolling down your soft cheeks. "Oh, (Y/N)- I'm so sorry- I didn't mean for this to happen- I- Shit-"

You cut her off with a sad smile. "It's fine, Nobara. My issues aren't your fault. I just don't like the way the skirt makes my stomach look and the way the shirt hugs my arms. Maybe we can just get them in the next size up."

At this, a determined look came over her features. "Maybe you don't like the way it looks, but I sure as hell do. The skirt makes you look hot. Your thighs look amazing in that skirt. And the shirt perfectly complements your shape, especially tucked in like that, good call on tucking it." She smiled. "This outfit accentuates all your curves perfectly. You may not be able to see it, but I do. And I will make it my mission to make you see yourself the way I see you."

Your tears had dried as soon as she started praising you, a smile replacing your frown as well. "Nobara... why?"

"Because, (Y/N)..." She smiled again. "I like you. A lot."

Shocked, you smiled again before pulling her in for a kiss. It didn't last long before the both of you began giggling.

Needless to say, the both of you left the mall after that, and you kept the outfit in the size you tried it on in, a new confidence filling you as you walked out of the store.
