over half a year ago, you were feeling so insecure about yourself, your body dysmorphia affecting you badly. after working out and eating a lot healthier, you genuinely started feeling so much better about yourself. you always seemed to be more confident and happier ever since you joined the gym you’re currently in… except one problem, you formed a crush over the months you’ve been there.

at some point you found out his name was Aaron but thats really all you know still. i mean, nobody really just goes up to someone and asks personal questions while they’re working out, right? so of course you’re definitely not doing that… every once in a while, you’d exchange eye contact randomly or ask for something like how many sets each other had or just for help if one of you were around.

eventually, you could slightly start feeling that slight tension every time you locked gazes. it was starting to get common to notice more smirks and smiles coming from him when you walked by.. the slight redness forming on his cheeks when he exchanged a few words with you.. the way he subtly picked out the machines to work out at near you.. these had to be signs that he had something for you as well, right…?

like right now at your usual work out time, he was running cardio right next to you as you both jogged on the treadmill… you couldn’t help but notice his muscles flexing underneath his compression shirt and how sweat ran down his forehead and the rest of his body.. Gosh, he was hot.
