Together

Chapter 8

Back at it with another chapter. I'm honestly glad to be done with that fireworks festival arc. I don't know why it was so difficult for me to get through that. Maybe a little burn out? Maybe I just couldn't find much to change from the original story? Maybe I was playing a shit ton of Destiny 2 because it's Iron Banner week? Who knows. But I want to keep pumping out chapters while I'm still motivated to do so. I want to keep my mind active. No rest for the wicked. Anyway, let's get into this one.

PS: playing some Destiny 2 and I fucking hate Iron Banner right now. What kind of drugs was Bungie smoking to think that Rift was a good idea?

"I swear to God I'm going to put a hole in the wall with this damn thing one day..." he grumbled to himself about his cursed alarm clock.

It was finally Sunday. Most people wouldn't dare set an alarm for Sunday of all days. Sunday was a free day. A relaxation day. It was God's day. 'Or if you're that nerd, a day full of studying with no quints to bother him.'

He had a clean slate, with only one thing on his mind. His only priority for the day:

The gym.

His routine mental and physical therapy. His happy place. If there's one thing he loved more than anything, it was the feeling of THE PUMP after a great workout. 'And I have all day to enjoy it!' He thought. "What part should I focus on today?" He thought to himself. He then remembered that he had missed a day of weight training last week because of the unfortunate..."explosion" in the school's weight room. 'Gross...anyway, full body it is, I guess."

He finally yanked himself from his mattress and showered up. The last thing he needed to do was smell like a barnyard while at the gym. 'The fact that people will actually have the audacity to show up to the gym without wearing deodorant...' He shuddered at the thought. He got out of the shower and begin making himself an easy breakfast. 'Muscles need fuel!' he thought to himself. 'Today is going to be a good day. I will force it to be!"

He grabbed his phone and looked at it for a good moment. 'Hm...I'm pretty sure I already know what the answer is but I should probably ask that nerd if he wants to come with.'

He dialed his friends number and, when he answered, Y/N shot his shot. "Hey needle dick....

...I mean noodle arms. Wanna come with me to the gym? I have plus one so you won't have to pay for anything. It would only be for like an hour and then you can get back to your precious studying."

Fuutarou responded rather quickly. "You really went out of your way to use time and energy to invite me and yet, how do you not know me well enough to know what my answer is going to be to that? You guys already stole all my studying time yesterday. What? Do you want me to give you a kidney next?"

Y/N: "I mean.... you can get a lot of money for a kidney, just saying..."

Fuutarou: "Wait...really?...I mean...the body can function fine with just one...maybe I could.........wait......what were we talking about again?"

Y/N facepalmed. "How the hell do you have the best grades in school?"

Fuutarou: "Because I don't waste my time doing dumb frivolous stuff like going to the gym or things like that"

Y/N felt his blood begin to boil. "Fuuta, bro, I love you, I really do. But speak ill of the gym again, and I'm going to have to pound on you a little bit. Besides, what's the harm with working out for an hour?"
