A/N: Thank you guys so much for 6k!

Two weeks passed, Charli felt a ghost of a kiss on her head. It was early once again and Chase got up to get ready to train. Ryan really had him working so much so that afterward Chase was too sore to move or do anything the rest of the day.

This time, however, Charli had a plan. She's been watching videos on athletes' recovery process to give her some ideas on how to help Chase with his muscle pain.

Charli checked his location and saw that he was on his way home. She began preparing the large bath.

"Bub? You still here?" Chase peaked his head around the doorway into his room. His cut-off was drenched with sweat and his bangs stuck haphazardly to his forehead.

"Bathroom!" She announced.

"What are you doing in here?" He entered.

"I wanted to help you with your recovery to make you feel better so...ta-da!" She moved to the side with her arms stretched out.

"An ice bath?"

"It lessens muscle pain after a long workout."

"I don't know Char, Ima freeze my dick off."

She tsked, "Don't be a big baby you'll only be sitting in there for 15 minutes."

He grumbled under his breath, weighing the pros and cons in his head. "Okay...I trust you Bubs."

Inching closer to the bath, he hesitantly places a toe in. "Oh my God, it's so cold."

Submerging one foot in, he whines and gasps. "There is no way Ima be able to do 15."

At this point, he has both feet in. Chase was breathing fast, gritting his teeth to psych himself up.

"Come on Beb, you got this."

He yells at himself before quickly dunking his entire body in. "H-holy shit!"

Charli laughed at his funny expressions. "Baby, you have to relax."

"I'm-m-m-m t-trying-g." His teeth chattered.

She set a timer on her phone for 15 minutes. Several minutes have already passed.

"I don't know if the water is getting warmer or I'm just becoming numb but this doesn't feel as bad anymore."

The timer went off and Chase bolted out of the tub. He was shaking and shivering, running to the shower to turn on hot water. Charli was laughing hysterically at his antics when he got in the shower with his clothes and all. He sighed in relief.

One month down and Chase has been seeing noticeable improvements. Lately, he's been working mornings and evenings to focus on his speed and combinations.

Josh recently did an interview with HollywoodFix about the fight while he was at dinner with some of the Sway boys. He didn't hold back with the name-calling as he has been pretty vocal on social media this whole time about the fight.

He himself has been keeping it pretty quiet, in the beginning, Charli posted about his first session and after that, he posted a photo of him and Ryan training together. He's been careful not to post any shirtless photos, he wanted it to be a surprise at the weigh-in.

The truth is he has gotten muscular, still nowhere near Sway boy level but he doesn't have to try hard anymore to look defined.

Charli and Chase were walking down the street on their way to brunch when Kevin Wong spotted them.
