I followed my mom half-mindedly as she went round and about the market. It bored me just by getting here, and tired me in the first twelve minutes. But I still had a whole few hours before me and there was no way escaping any of it. You see, every Saturday, my mom would go shopping and I'd have no choice to go with her for the whole day, she always says something along the lines of 'boys can't be trusted to be alone at home'... it almost irritates me. Well, enough ranting.

"Here, Oliver." My mom beamed as she splayed the dreaded t-shirt in-front of me. I had no intention nor any need of buying new clothing and yet she has never failed to purchase a wardrobe-full of them every weekend. Sure that may have been a bit of an exaggeration but I think you get my point.

"Ugh, mom. I don't want any more." I whined.

"No whining, Oliver. Try it out and see if it fits." She sternly spoke.

Sighing, I grabbed the shirt with my right hand and grouchily walked to the nearest fitting room —which I had already rotely memorised by then.

"Fix your posture!" She shouted as I jolted straight as a stick, the straight one, not the bendy one.

"Yes, mum."

As soon as I had gotten home, I took my icky sweaty tops off and flopped onto my bed face-down exhaustedly, You'd expect weekends to be relaxing or fun, but it had never been the case for me.

I yawned as I turned my phone on. I had been dating Rin for a little over two weeks and we had told each other everything since then. From homework to movies and going out with friends, it felt like she had been right beside me all those times.

Rin: I'm tired, wbu

Oliver: me too, mum finally finished shopping

Rin: yeah, I can relate. Shopping's bo-ring

I chuckled as I typed, don't girls usually like shopping?

Oliver: you don't like shopping either?

Rin: no

Rin: hey, Ollie, could you send another picture? You're so cute

I blushed at the compliment and took a quick selfie. I hadn't checked it before sending it, but I had forgotten to put my any clothes on first and it showed my bare shoulders! I panicked and blushed, quickly trying to find a way to delete the message, but alas, this stupid bloody app doesn't even support it.

Rin: 😏 you're not wearing any clothes?~

I felt my face heat up further at the remark, but I felt okay with it nonetheless, *it was bound to happen one day.*

Oliver: well, no... only because it's pretty hot today though

Rin: Oh, Ollie. I really want to see it now~

I started to feel pressure under my boxers as I contemplated. I'm not ready for anything big yet.

Oliver: alright, but nothing more.

Oliver: <picture>

Rin: >///< you really are cute!

Oliver: am not!

Rin: That just makes you cuter >///<

I blushed as I yawned once more, tears of tiredness forming in my eyes. I smiled as I re-read her message... Let's meet someday...

Oliver: good night

Rin: Night, Ollie~

With such a great ending to the day, I smiled and stretched in satisfaction, locking my phone and placing it beside my bed. My head fell onto the pillow as I smiled at the thoughts of meeting her in person one day... How pretty she would be in real life... My consciousness slowly faded away as drowsiness took me over, falling asleep.
