10. Needles and pins

After your study session and the little hang out with the three brothers you headed home. Of course you had to show Nobara the iconic picture you took and she had bursted out laughing and of course; and like the little devil she was, told you that you should definitely sent it to Gojo. "No I promised. But it will be useful for future blackmail." Both girl's snickered.

Almost a week had passed since then and everything went casual without any incidents. Yuji still hadn't update us about the party with his twin brother so Nobara took that as an opportunity for a shopping spree; her excuse this time was that she didn't have clothes for the party. She was a victim of overconsumption and we all knew that. And guess what? You were the victim who had to tag along.

Usually it was Yuji but given the circumstances, you had to take his place. You didn't mind at all, albeit you needed some extra clothes for that party, because the only fancy piece of fabric in your closet was the leather jacket that you wore almost everyday.

"You're also shopping?" She looked at you as you grabbed your wallet counting the cash before signing. "Yeah I mean I can't go to the party in a pair of jeans. You won't let me anyway." She clapped her hands in delight grabbing her keys before opening the front door. She gasped at the end of your sentence before speaking her mind. "Of course I wouldn't! What kind of friend would I be if I did that?" She placed her hand on her chest exaggerating.

I hummed in response, followed her lead and finally closing the door locking it. Walking towards the mall the girls decided to make a stop at their known spot in order to get some coffee. The mall wasn't far away from the college so walking saved you money.

"Do you like this?" Nobara looked at me. "Meh the colour makes you too pale." You were brutally honest and that's why Nobara loved to take you with her while shopping. You would always straight up tell the truth if you didn't like something on her. She also did the same with you. She groaned in frustration, "This is like the fifth shop and I've found nothing so far. It's not my day." and turned around walking back to the fitting room.

"Neither did I." I muttered to myself while looking around. "Let's go." She placed her hand around my elbow and we walked outside, both disappointed. "Look!" She pointed the shop on her left. "This is new." She referred to the clothing store. "You wanna take a look?" She asked as if she didn't know the answer already.

And of course we went inside. She already started picking some outfits while walking around the store. I did find too some cute fits. It was a long brown dress which consisted of a v neck and looked like it would be tight and cling to your skin.

"You like it?" I asked the ginger haired girl, giving her a slow spin to see how it fit me. "To be honest it's cute but you can do better." Her smirk told me that she already had something in mind, or in this case her hand. "Wear this." She threw the dress on my face.

I wore the damn thing, that was definitely not a dress in my opinion. "You're crazy." I scoffed pulling the fabric down. "Oh. My. God." She gasped, "It fits you like a glove Y/n!" and said, full excited. "That's not a dress Nobara, it barely covers anything, I feel like if I take a step I will flash the whole shop."

I crossed my arms trying to hide how the dress emphasised my upper body. It emphasised my whole body but I couldn't cover everything. The dress was a black and a very short one too, and showed all my curves. Like the brown one, it had a v shape and it stopped just below my hips, just enough to cover my private areas.

"That's the whole point." She rolled her eyes. "It's a party girl, you gotta flex the body you have." She held on one hand a short skirt and I found her a green leather top with strings to tie in the front. It really matched her, the colour contrasted well with her hair. "That's so cute!" She looked at her outfit on the mirror. "We have to buy some stockings for your dress though it is too plain for you to wear just that. It also matches your leather jacket!"
