"You got this, c'mon" your boyfriend cheered you on. You grasped the bar with all your might. Andrei had taken you to the gym with him because you were annoyed with how busy he was trying to improve himself. Andrei was always at the rink or training from morning until dinner leaving less time for you two to spend together. He thought it would be a good idea to show you what he does while you are at your apartment all day working on your projects. Suddenly a burst of strength came through you and that weight went soaring off the ground up to your shoulders. You let out a struggling breath when you got it up.
"I knew you could do it see," he smiled.
"Okay yeah I did it, now let me put it down," you panted.
"You have to squat first, that's the whole reason for lifting it," you rolled your eyes after hearing that response. It seemed simple enough, and besides, you were fit because of doing sports in high school. You did as he said, on your way back up you could see the smile on his face. He was so proud of you standing there with his hands on his hips. You dropped the weight and caught your breath.
"Your turn now," you said wiping the sweat off of your forehead.
"Okay Y/N step aside," he grinned as he added two more plates to each side of the bar. You backed away to watch him do the same exercise you had just done. You were trying not to stare, but damn he looked so hot lifting. When he put the bar down he came over to you and flexed making you even more bubbly inside.
"You like?" he smirked as you both looked at yourselves in the mirror of the gym. You held up your arms, but they were noodles compared to Andrei's.
"I do like" you replied staring into his deep brown eyes. He pulled out his phone,
"I want a picture of me and my strong woman," you blushed as you scooted closer to him. You both flexed your biceps trying to look as badass as you could. You put your hand on top of his as he was holding his phone to show you the picture.
"We look hot," you chuckled.
"We are hot," he smirked pulling you in with his other arm. You got a whiff of the sweat smell, but you didn't care, you were just glad that he brought you along with him. You enjoyed seeing this side of Andrei, the tough side he showed outside of your apartment, not that you didn't like his soft side, but today this side just seemed so much more attractive, maybe it was his muscles, or the sweat dripping down his shirtless back, but it was amazing. He continued showing you through the rest of his routine. He taught you each and every exercise and stretch, always supporting you so you would be able to carry it out successfully.
"That's really good form babe," he loved complimenting you. He always wanted to assure you of how much you meant to him.
"You really mean that?" you said struggling to hold your one-armed plank for much longer.
"I really do," he said getting on the floor next to you to join you in your plank. You both smiled as you faced each other even if you were incredibly sore from all the exercise. Your faces were close enough to kiss, it was tempting but you resisted by getting out of the plank. You stood up while waiting for your boyfriend to finish. He lay on his back to catch his breath while you stood over him grinning. He was so cute looking up at you with that smile, the smile he had at the end of your first date, the smile that could always make your heart melt, the perfect smile. He stretched out his arm for you to help him up, but just ended up pulling you down next to him, he was too heavy for you. You had fallen on him. He kissed your cheek as you both sat up on the ground, gazing into each other's eyes.
"I love you," you said softly. He stood up and pulled you up with him into his arms embracing you.
"I love you too Y/N" he answered while your head fell onto his chest. You closed your eyes out of pure joy, it was a perfect moment. He grabbed the shirt that was sitting on the bench with his sweat towels and slipped it on over his head. You put your hand on his back as you both walked out of the gym to go home.
