You and Michael have known each other for a few months. This new friendship is abnormal to Michael, since he doesn’t get out much. He met you through a childhood friend of his, another gym rat like him, Alex. Alex recommend you as a trainer to Michael.

You spot Michael as he lifts, you make his workout schedule and diet, and you two talk almost everyday about what activities he has been doing. Michael likes working out, obviously. But he wouldn’t admit that he was taking it a bit more extreme than he was thinking just so he could spend time and talk to you.

One day at the gym, you suggest sparing to Michael. A fun way to learn and work out. Michael thought you’d go easy on him, but he was wrong. You slam him down on the mat, pining him. Making his face go red.

You two continue sparing, Michael slowly gets less sheepish. By the end of it, you both are sweating messes. You lean against to wall, drinking your water, panting while Michael’s face turns more red just by looking at you. And it wasn’t just from the work out.
