Chapter twenty-six

third pov~

two days have passed since the sports festival and not much happened for Gaara, nothing ever happens to him these days and it usually doesn't bother him, but it's different this time. his dad hasn't sent assassins after him yet

he's not sure why but he's been on edge for the past few days, his dad will send two or more people to kill him each month, its overexaggerating as he only broke his leg, it's not that deep but rasa was always an overdramatic man

it was currently 9 pm and he has been in the basement since 2 pm working out on his physical strength himself after all he can't rely on shukaku all the time, there are quirks that can take away his own away

like Aizawa for example, with one look he can erase his quirk. even for a short moment, and if he relies on shukaku it would feel as if he is vulnerable to the world, he is also preparing for the assassins as usual but they seem to be taking longer to kill him than they usually would

perhaps his dad is seeking help from different people, Gaara doesn't know how right he is and how much it will truly affect him

in their basement, it had many different things, such as a punching bag, bench press, weights, treadmill and a few others he can't bother telling, but the workout equipment was for all three of the siblings, even though the others don't come down when he does

Temari doesn't use it much but she still does sometimes, same with kankuro but he uses it a bit more than Temari does, speaking of his siblings he hasn't seen them in a few days, they didn't tell him where they were as they don't want him coming long

although it may seem as if Temari is on better terms with Gaara, she really isn't as she is equally as scared of him as she was all those years ago, she puts on this fake confidence and goody act with him to show, hm how do I say this dominance? show him she isn't scared and get on his good side

it really does annoy Gaara, truly it does and if she was anyone else he would have killed her for such a nescience act, but is it really an act Gaara?..

Gaara punched the punching bag repeating without stopping, making sure he perfected his stance and precision. having so much free time and feeling only little fatigue he can do many things, which is why he is good at so many things

he is no genius, at least in his eyes. he can perfect a fighting technique in 3 days, for another genius it seems short as they train for most of the day and sleep for another few hours but for Gaara it felt long, each day of the week was long and that was no difference, no sleep at all, he has to do something to occupy himself or else shukaku would bother him which he does not want

it was silent in the basement, excluding the sounds of the punching bag being hit and swung back by the force and Gaara's grunting, he didn't mind the silence. not at all in fact, Gaara preferred the silence

a ding sound was heard and Gaara stopped mid punch and looked towards the sound which came from his phone, he frowned and went over and picked it up as it was unlikely for him to get a notification

"you have been added into 'class 1a :)' "

Gaara furrowed his eyebrows, and unlocked his phone and opened the group chat, many texts filled the chat, he seemed to have their contacts from that one time but he was missing a few but he didn't care

it seemed as someone saw Gaara reading the chat and called him out, and it just so happened to be midoriya

midoriya
hi Gaara-san

momo

ah hello Gaara

Denki
Gaara! hey man!

mina

read at 9:34 pm

he did the most reasonable thing and left the all on read and put his phone back down and went back to working out and did some bench presses, not too long after starting his phone started to bing non-stop

sighing Gaara got up and picked his phone back and to check the messages once again, not that he wanted to it was just they were annoying as fuck

Kirishima
come on man, don't be like that

jirou
do you have a playlist I can listen to?

momo
Gaara, would you like to have tea at my home after school?

bakugou
can't blame shitty brows for not answering, you're all annoying as fuck, now shut the fuck up I'm trying to sleep you extras

Denki
just like how I'm trying to sleep with your mom HAHAHA
read at 9:40 pm

Gaara stared at his hone at Denki's text, why was he trying to sleep with bakugou's mom? isn't she some 30 or 40 year old? perhaps Denki likes older women

who care, he's bust right now. Gaara puts his phone down and puts it on silent and went back to what he was doing. 40 minutes pass and it's 5:20 am now and his phone started to ring signifying someone is calling him

Gaara who was doing sit-ups stood up and picked up his phone and it read "momo is calling you" furrowing his eyebrows, he picks up the phone

on the other lie a squeak was heard and fumbling around "g-gaara-san! I uhm I didn't think you would pick up..or be awake" she sputtered out words in a panic, gaara kept silent as he had nothing to say to her

"why did you call me." his deep and raspy voice asked, his tone didn't sound annoyed nor mean, it was a simple question but it didn't sound like one, it sounded more like a statement but momo was glad he didn't seem annoyed by her calling him

she actually wanted to say good morning to him as he didn't answer her text in the group chat which made her lose a bit of confidence but decided to call him as she didn't think he would be awake right now, she was a morning person and would wake up at these times

"uhm I just wanted to say good morning! did you sleep well?" her confidence came back and she tried to make conversation, gaara had a confused look on his face but it wasn't like momo wold see it

"...morning" he ignored her question about sleep as he does not sleep and he doesn't feel the need to tell her that fact about him, momo bit her lip as she tried to think of a question "are you a morning person too? I am"

Gaara wanted to hand up but for some reason, he didn't "yea" his answers were simple yet dry and it made it hard for momo to talk to him "that's cool, maybe we could talk to each other in the morning so we can keep eachoher company!"

gaara stayed silent what was he supposed to say? he didn't want to talk to her in the mornings, or ever, mom blushed when she got no response but continued talking "did you have breakfast yet?"

"no" "you should eat something so you're ready for the day" she just kept talking, how annoying gaara thought to himself, just to keep her off his back he started to make his way up the stairs

momo heard shuffling and a door opening and closing, she could only guess he was going somewhere hopefully the kitchen, a bowl being placed and a cupboard being opened and closed and a box being put down was all momo heard from gaara's side of the call

"are yo getting cereal?" she asked but gaara ignored her and poured the box of fruit loops in the bowl, he walked over the fridge and took the milk and poured it in the bowl of cereal

"there." after his word he hung up on her, with momo she stared at her phone confused "maybe he's not the type for calls? no momo, he just doesn't want to talk to you

1376 words

another chapter, its more of a filler I suppose and I wont be writing too much group chat things as its a waste of my time and its tiring
