You and Samuel are a couple who always try new things together. This time, you decided to go to the gym. For Samuel, it’s just a regular routine, but for you, it’s a first-time experience.

"Are you sure you don’t want to start with something lighter?" Samuel asked with a smile, seeing how excited you were to try the weightlifting machine.

You scoffed. "I’m not that weak, okay? I can lift this!" you said confidently while gripping the barbell on the bench press machine.

Taking a deep breath, you tried to lift it… or at least, you tried. The barbell didn’t even move an inch.

"Uh… why is this so heavy?" you complained.

Samuel chuckled before easily placing his hands under the barbell and helping you lift it. "Relax, I’ve got you. Don’t forget to control your breathing."

With Samuel’s help, you finally managed to lift the barbell. Once it was back in place, you immediately sat up straight and flicked your hair. "See? I can do it!"

Samuel shook his head with a smile. "Yeah, you can… with my help."

You shot him a glare and pinched his arm. "Just wait, one day I’ll be stronger than you."

Samuel laughed and pulled you into his arms. "I don’t mind, as long as we’re strong together."
