I know. You did a real good thing, @bsaasbestdriver.bsky.social. Writer: #El

@dj-dylan.bsky.social Knock, knock. . . . Knock , knock, knock. . . ๐—ช๐—›๐—”๐— ! Dylanโ€™s bedroom door slammed against the wall after Chris rammed his arm into it. Paying no mind to the dazed โ€˜Chrisโ€™ sitting against the wall. โ€œWakey, wakey, pissant. Your training starts now.โ€

โ€œNo shit. Iโ€™m glad you read my mind.โ€ One hundred fifty sit ups was met. He rose his hands up to grab on the bar and return to hanging right side up. Landing on his feet after letting go of the bar.

"After the summer, yeah. Actually, I'm majoring in, ah, quantum physics..." He'd mention, chuckling breathlessly to himself. "I know I don't seem like the type."

โ€œNothing wrong with that. Itโ€™s your choice.โ€ He briefly looked at his body then returned to sit ups. โ€œYou donโ€™t appear overweight anyway. Shouldnโ€™t school be your focus? College, maybe?โ€

"Oh, yeah, cool..." He glanced towards him and then away again. "I, uhh... I like to workout sometimes too. I mean, I'm not much of a gym rat, but you know... for health and... stuff."

โ€œJesus fucking Christ. . .โ€ Did Dylan actually say that last statement to a man who even has authority above cops. He shook his head then jumped to grabbed onto the bar. Then rose his legs up to hang on the sturdy bar until he was โ€”

"What, you don't want to save a damsel in distress?" He grinned, watching Chris. "Not that I'm much of the damsel in distress type. I'm sure I could charm a cop or two."

Dylan had good hearing, but Chris didnโ€™t express the slightest remorse for the words. Now the two was in a spot in the gym where there was more wide open space. He went to one of the pull up bars and looked up to determine the height. โ€œGood. Cause Iโ€™m not getting you out jail for that.โ€

"Okay, I'm not ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ต clueless, thank you." Dylan shook his head, sighing softly. "I'm pretty sure most people would get an easy restraining order in that case."

โ€œDo I have to make a mention of good timing when that should be common sense?โ€ He groaned softly then muttered โ€˜clueless kidโ€™. โ€œItโ€™s not like Iโ€™m telling you to tell someone directly a day after meeting โ€˜em โ€˜๐™ƒ๐™š๐™ฎ. ๐™”๐™ค๐™ช ๐™ก๐™ค๐™ค๐™  ๐™œ๐™ค๐™ค๐™™ ๐™–๐™ฃ๐™™ ๐™„ ๐™ก๐™ž๐™ ๐™š ๐™ฎ๐™ค๐™ช. ๐˜พ๐™–๐™ฃ ๐™„ ๐™›๐™ช๐™˜๐™  ๐™ฎ๐™ค๐™ช?โ€™โ€

"So you'd like it if that person just walked right up and said, 'Hey, let's go out on a date tonight. Pick you up at eight'? No flirting whatsoever?" He raised a brow, following behind Chris.

โ€œSimple. Cut to the chase. Be honest about your feelings to this person. Ask them out. Itโ€™ll show youโ€™re not playing games.โ€ He turned his back to him and headed to the next area. โ€œOr whatever people your age do these days.โ€

"True." He nodded slightly, hesitating a moment before continuing. "...What works for you..? If you don't mind me asking."

โ€œYou said it yourself. Shoot your shot. You wouldnโ€™t know how he really feels about you until you try.โ€ Chris place the dumbbells on the floor. Taking a deep breath as he sat up. โ€œBesides, youโ€™re still young. Even if he rejected you, thereโ€™ll be others who may see you differently.โ€

"They do say near death experiences bring you closer." Dylan pointed out, looking up in thought. "There is this guy I'm kind of into at camp. He's the brooding loner type. I'm not so sure the feeling's mutual, though."

Fortunately, Chrisโ€™ eyes were more focused on his exercise than Dylanโ€™s covetous stare. He attempted to recall any successions. โ€œHmm. Maybe one during my early thirties. But that was after escaping a near death situation.โ€

"I'm sure at least one succeeded, though, right?" Dylan was certainly eyeing the man now. However, he did attempt to avert his gaze when the realization hit that he was staring a little too hard.

โ€œYou donโ€™t have to be military to stay fit. As for the bear thing, you wouldnโ€™t be the first to call me that.โ€ His breath was long and steady as he continued lifting the weights. Twenty-five, so far. And he had yet to sweat.

"Have you seen yourself? You're like the human version of a bear." He rose his brows, keeping his gaze on him.
