Part ~ 4 [sʜᴏᴘᴘɪɴɢ ᴅᴀᴛᴇ]

[Ignore the food in the shopping bag above btw. 😭]

𝐋𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: 𝐈𝐧 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐌𝐞𝐠𝐮𝐦𝐢'𝐬 𝐝𝐨𝐫𝐦.

𝐍𝐨𝐛𝐚𝐫𝐚'𝐬 𝐏𝐎𝐕:
It's almost 10 AM.
I've been getting ready since like half an hour, and I don't even know why.
I usually don't take much time to get dressed.
But this time it feels different.
This isn't even a date, right..?
I guess I'll just knock on his door.

She knocks on the door of Megumi's dorm.
He opens the door.

Fushiguro opens the door almost immediately.
He's dressed pretty casually, wearing a black hoodie and matching sweatpants.
Still, he looks handsome--
Stop thinking like that.

Nobara: "Hey."

Megumi: "Morning.
So, uh, you ready to go?"

"Yeah, I am."

"Did you eat breakfast yet?"

I blush a little at his question, though it fades away almost instantly.

Nobara: "Yeah, I did.
Did you eat?"

"I did.
You said there's a mall nearby.
Lead the way."

"Alright.
Follow me, okay?"

I start walking to where the shopping mall is, and Fushiguro follows.
We eventually reach there, and walk through the entrance.

Megumi: "What is it you wanna buy, if you don't mind me asking?"

Nobara: "Just some new clothes and jewelry.
And if I feel like I'll need anything else.
Oh, and a present."

"What for?"

"Oh, I have this childhood friend, Fumi, who's birthday is coming up.
It's her sweet sixteen, so I wanted to buy her something and go visit my hometown, just to surprise her."

"I see.
You both seem.. Uh, close."

"Yeah, we're close.
I haven't seen her since I joined Jujutsu High.
I miss her, honestly.
And she probably does too.
I'm excited to see her after all these months."

"Good for you, then, I guess.."

I can feel a lingering sense of jealousy in his tone, though he probably didn't intend for it to be that way.
Or did he?
Anyways, I don't want to overthink it too much.
I take him into a store and go around looking at everything.
I spot a dark red dress with short ruffled sleeves and a gold heart pendant in the middle.
I pick it up to show Fushiguro.

Nobara: "How's this?"

Megumi: "It'd look good on you.
Try it on."

"You think so?"

"Yes.
Go try it on.
I'll wait."

I do as he says and go into the changing rooms and enter a stall.
I change into this dress and zip it up.
It fits almost perfectly.
I walk outside to where Fushiguro is standing, and show him the dress.

Nobara: "Well, what do you think?"

He turns his head to look at me and I could swear I saw him blushing for a moment.
His gaze lingers on me for a bit, then he clears his throat and speaks.

Megumi: "It looks.. Well, you look amazing in it, I won't lie..
It suits you well, too..
Do you like it, though?"

Nobara: "Oh, I love it.
It's so comfy, and I look pretty in it."

"That you do."

"I know."

He's acting so strangely these days.
A lot of things he says give me butterflies.
Is he doing this on purpose?
I have to play it off and pretend that didn't get me flustered.
