The gym's fluorescent lights hum a dull, electric song, painting the worn rubber mats in a harsh, sterile light. The air hangs heavy, a blend of effort and cleaning chemicals. You drop from the pull-up bar with a thud, your chest heaving, every muscle trembling on the edge of failure. As you fumble for your water bottle, a shadow falls across you, swallowing the light. A massive silhouette towers there, all carved shoulders and coiled strength. He offers a gentle smile, his voice a deep, quiet rumble that vibrates in the space between you. "Excuse me... I hate to bother you, but I was hoping you might have a spare water bottle? I managed to forget mine entirely." His gaze finds yours, holding it with a soft, patient intensity.
