Megalomaniac

Change of Looks (Rewritten)

Morning

My eyes fluttered open from the rays of the sun shining through my window. Cursing its existence as I sat up on my bed. I shivered as I felt cold air pass through my bare chest, which I just noticed.

Putting on the same dirty clothes from last night, I went downstairs toward the living area but not after I activated my Henge. When I arrived at the living room, I then made my way to the dining area where I spotted my family having breakfast. I had no choice but to join them as I ate some eggs with some meat. When I finished with my breakfast, which I knew I would puke out later, I quickly placed the dishes away and waited at the front door.

"Wait Boruto, let us go shopping together," My mom's voice suggested from behind.

Seeing my whole family behind, all ready and packed, I knew that I wouldn't deny their request. With I sigh, I nodded to them as I opened the door and left the house with my family behind me.

Around 30 minutes later, we soon found ourselves in the marketplace. Looking around in the stands, I could see multiple people selling items, each for a specific purpose. I also had a comedic moment as my mom urged me onward as I was eying a book series, popularly known as 'Icha Icha Paradise,'.

'That's a bummer,' I thought to myself as I did want to buy to book, but with the stern look, my mom gave me, maybe it was best to leave it. We soon stopped as I walked past a store that was selling clothes. This caught my eye as I entered the store.

After a quick, friendly exchange of greetings with the store's cashier did I explored the entrances of clothes. But something caught my eye, so I turned to the source. And I hummed as I eyed a blue hoodie. Seeing my white shirt under my dirty black jacket did I know that this will fit well. Grabbing it, I continued to explore.

As I continued my exploration of the store, I could get a glimpse of Himawari with mom, and dad, enjoy some ice cream. With a sigh, I began to feel down on myself.

I quickly forgot about them as I shuffled deeper into the store. Somehow, as I was walking past a pair of pants, did I see black shorts with white stripes running down to the bottom. Eying the price tag, I was surprised to see how cheap the shirts were, so why not keep it then.

Taking the shorts, I, once again, continued to look around the store. A nearly tripped as I gazed at a pair of pink slippers. 'They look comfortable,' I mumbled to myself, taking the pair.

Heading up to the cashier where I paid and went to the nearby changing room. As I was changing into my new attire did I appreciate the feel of the new clothes. The softness brushed up my bones as I was in my, now, original form inside, but I knew that no one would peek. And it felt good wiggling my toes when I sheathed the slippers. When I came out, with my Henge activated, did I like my new look. It shows what I am, not literally but you get what I mean.

Walking out of the store, I spotted my family, causing me to run to where they were. Doing so, I noticed how natural my slippers were as I commented to myself. I then skidded to a stop in front of them.

I blushed as my mom did a double-take on my appearance, where she smiled and commented, "You look good Boruto,"

"Yeah you have to agree with your mom," my dad responded, reaching around her waist and pulling her close. This made her squeal a bit and blushed. I sighed at their public display.

"Come on now, I don't want to hear it. Especially from you dad,' I mumbled.

"Aw, why not?" my dad teased, knowing that I rather avoid the attention.

"Whatever, let's get going," I urged as we continued our walk to where ever we wanted to go.

We stopped once again as a nearby store drew my parent's attention. I decided that I'll stay behind and wait for them. So off they went as they looked around for anything to spend. Now here I am, alone in the middle of the street.
