You had packed a lunch for Gaara earlier in the day, hoping he would have a decent meal in between his busy work schedule. However, as often happens, he was so buried in work he completely forgot.

By the time he remembered, it was well past dinner time. Feeling a pang of guilt, he put the untouched lunch away and headed home, where he knew he would find you waiting.

When he finally arrived home, Gaara found you in the living room. He swallowed, feeling a pang of shame at forgetting the lunch you had packed for him.

"I'm sorry," he said quietly, avoiding eye contact. "I was so focused on work, I forgot to eat the lunch you packed for me."
