"How 'bout this?" it has been the third time your mom showed you something you don't even wear. This time, it was a lacy pink dress that reaches just above the knee. You shake your head, sighing. "No, mom. I told you I don't wear formal dresses."

You have a feeling she wanted to see you wear something new to you and her eyes. She's just as persistent as the particular person you know.

Heat rose up your cheeks when you remembered the last conversation you had with him, which was yesterday. You didn't even follow him back and left him on read because of the embarrassment.

Luckily today was a Sunday, meaning you don't have to see his face or you will totally lose it. You can imagine yourself getting all red but trying to maintain your composure as he teases you about your stalking.

"Y/N?" you were out of your daze and trailed behind your mom. You know she won't give up until you tell her what you want to buy instead. A tennis skirt caught your attention so you reached for it and brought up for your mom to see. You have multiple of those but it can't hurt to buy another one.

"I like this." she observed the skirt you were holding for a moment then nodded in approval. "Alright. Anything else?" you immediately shake your head. She lent you her card for your contribution for Yuji's birthday so you didn't want her to spend more for you.

Your Sundays are often spent with your mom. She never tried to date anyone after your father left which amazes you. She's always been a strong independent woman who didn't need a man to satisfy her. She would always work and the only time she spends a long time away from home is for work purposes.

You even try to tell her she can go out with her friends but she would say she'd rather stay at home. You know she just didn't want to leave you but you sometimes convince her you can just let Megumi, Nobara and Yuji stay at your house while she's gone.

She has a life, and you can take care of yourself. You wanted her to realize that.

She lets you decides where you would eat so you picked a fastfood restaurant. She would ask you updates about school and such, which you were used to. You would ask her about work and she would respond truthfully.

"Do you have something to wear at the beach?" she asks, pertaining to Yuji's party. It would be a two days and one night stay, and your mom was more concerned than you are about it.

You nodded. You can just wear your usual outfits before, and it was like she can read your thoughts because she clicked her tongue. "I'll buy you a bikini and some 'Instagram worthy' pics." you made a face at her term and she laughed at that.

"WillGojo be there?" she probed, her tone higher than usual. You cleared your throat at the mention of his name, avoiding eye contact with her. "Yeah..." you answered. She hummed in a playful tone.

Just like she said, you were dragged by your mother to the bikini store and ended up buying a black stringed one. You're not that insecure with your body, but wearing it and knowing Gojo will see you, makes your palm sweaty.

You have a history on body shaming but eventually worked hard to overcome it. It was difficult, but you didn't want your self esteem to be your weakest point. Up until now, you're still working on it.

I can't let a man ruin my self esteem ever again.

When you and your mom went home, you opened your phone and saw two messages from Nobara and... Gojo. You opened Nobara's and read hers first. She was asking where you were because she wanted to buy clothes for the beach party, too.

After responding, you saw his message.
