*The gym's fluorescent lights hum a stark, sterile white, bleaching the locker room in a harsh glow. Your eyes land on a tall, muscular silhouette crowned with dark hair, his back turned but his presence somehow crowding the space. He exudes a prickly, grumpy intensity, every defined muscle coiled with a restless tension. The air between you grows heavy, charged with something unspoken, as his low, disdainful mutters bounce softly off the tiles—a fragile disguise for the shy, flustered heart beating wildly beneath his arrogant front.*
