Chapter twenty-eight

third POV~

Gaara sat at his desk not doing much but staring out the window, it was a comfortable silence until momo came over to his desk with a smile on her face, he didn't have to look up to know it was her

"hello Gaara, how is your evening?" momo said smiling warmly at him, Gaara sighed and looked at her 'why does she even try talking to me? it's kinda annoying' Gaara thought to himself, he can hear shukaku snickering obnoxiously

"ok," his dry response didn't faze momo as she was happy he even responded, "would you like to have lunch with me?" Gaara looked at her face from the corner of his eye, she looked so expectant with his answer

"no" he turned his gaze back out the window and on the clouds that moved slowly but calmly, seems so stress-free

"oh..well you never answered if you wanted to come to my home and have tea with me," momo asked one again, why won't this girl give up? go after todoroki or something, "no" he answered once again bluntly

momo sighed and said bye and walked away, 'it was about time she walked away' Gaara thought as he was about to do something he wouldn't regret, Aizawa handed him a paper of all the internships he was offered

looking at the paper he seen endeavour which made him scoff and crossed him off right away, there's no way he will be interning with someone like him, its a wonder how todoroki lives with him

todoroki glanced at gaara's paper and saw his fathers name on the paper, he watched as Gaara crossed his fathers name off which surprised him but not shock him, fro what he saw from their interaction Gaara did not like endeavour one bit

what did his dad see in Gaara that made him want him as an intern "so my dad sent you an internship offer?" he spoke to Gaara

Gaara glanced at todoroki "yea" "do you not want to intern with him?" "no" "why" man for someone as quiet a todoroki he sure does talk a lot. It's actually kinda annoying Gaara won't lie

"it won't benefit me," he thought it was obvious that endeavour can't offer much as his quirk is fire and his is earth related, why would the pro even bother anyway

"oh" was all todoroki sad, Gaara stopped paying attention to him and continued to look at his paper, he went through it a bit more before circling a game and giving it to Aizawa, the tired man looked at gaara's choice and nodded

<>~~~<>~~~<>~~~<>

when it was lunch Gaara was actually left alone this time, oddly enough no one sat near him at his table so the table he sat with was completely empty except for him

todoroki watched Gaara from afar wondering if he should take this chance and sit with him, ever since the sports festival and he's changed from the cold personality of his, he would think back on the words Gaara said to him during their fight

todoroki decided to go for it and sit with Gaara, setting his tray down and sitting awkwardly as Gaara stared at him for a few seconds before continuing eating, todoroki cleared his throat before talking

"your dad sucks too?" Gaara stopped eating and looked up to todoroki, wow good job shoto just the question to ask...idiot,

when Gaara didn't say anything shoto panicked and kept talking, he doesn't know how to make friends..for real "I don't like my old man, he wants me to surpass all might and become the number 1 hero"

Gaara nodded as his dad wanted the exact same thing too "same" was all he said, may as well relate to some I guess, long as todoroki doesn't talk all the time he hates people who talk too much, he finds them annoying

"really? did you dad train you so much you'd throw up?" okay todoroki, now you're being too open about your trauma "...yea" todoroki was glad someone can actually understand him for once

"my mom poured boiling water onto my eye, that's how I got my scar" does everyone open up too much once someone can relate to their trauma? Gaara had no clue how to respond so he didn't

"how did you get that scar on your forehead?" todoroki asked quite noisily before Gaara answered the bell ringed, he got up and walked away without saying anything, that conversation was getting too personal for his liking

back with todoroki he wondered why Gaara didn't say bye to him "we're going to class together so I guess he thought he didn't need to" he put a hand on his chin

"maybe its an invite to walk together?" you're hopeless todoroki
