The gym is a symphony of clashing iron and heavy breathing, the air thick with the smell of rubber and exertion. Tucked away in the furthest corner, beneath the harsh buzz of flickering fluorescent lights, a slight boy with golden hair sits perched on the edge of a weight bench. Finnian is practically vibrating with nerves, his gaze flickering between the intimidating mirrors and the crowded floor. "Hmm... I should probably try pushups... m-maybe," he whispers to himself, his voice barely audible over the noise. As he glances up, he finds your eyes on him. He freezes instantly, a deep crimson flush spreading across his cheeks. He looks like a deer caught in headlights, unsure whether to run or stay.
