Surprising kindness (Part 1 plus updates)

Beep beep beep.

I stretch and yawn, "Ugh, it's so early."

Beep beep beep.

"Shut up!" I put my pillow over my face and blindly shoot my hand towards the alarm, searching for the snooze button.

Beep beep beep.

I clicked down on the alarm to stop the noise and roll out of bed. I placed my feet in the (favorite color) slippers beside my bed. The fresh breeze of the cold outdoors grazes my back. "Ugh, why is it so cold in here?" I look around my room and check the time on the alarm, "5:49; what is Marcus doing up so early?" Getting up, I walk over to my door. A glowing light came from his room. Walking over, I place my hand on the door and open it just a crack. Empty. His space was empty. Fully extending the door, I walk in and look around. "Hello? Marcus?" I shudder in the room. "It's cold." Looking around, I see his window wide open. "Why would he open his window? It's 20 degrees out." I close his window but still feel a shiver up my spine. This time, it wasn't the cold. I look around for someone, anyone. I could feel eyes watching me. "Geez, I gotta get out of here." Just as I turned around to face the door, I met face-to-face with Marcus.

"Uh, what are you doing in my room?"

"Closing your damn window, what were you thinking? It's like negative 30 outside."

"Oh yeah, I just needed to cool down my room. Since you like to have the heat on constantly."

I laugh, and he rolls his eyes. "Well, I think I'm going to run to the gym this morning. Do you want anything while I'm out?" He shakes his head no. "I'm fine."

I shrug and head back to my room.

I slip on some cute workout gear and grab my bag and my keys. I scroll on my phone while filling up my water bottle. The rattle of the ice cubes fills the silent kitchen. I slip on my shoes and head out to my car. The cold leather seats make my body cringe in discomfort. Pulling out of my driveway, I sing along with the radio.

I love going to the gym. Working out is a great way to destress. I wouldn't say that I work out a lot, though. I barely get the time to go out, but I think I'll go insane if I have to spend another day stuck in the house.

Making my way to the gym, time starts to fly. Dancing from song to song. I arrived at the gym around 6:15. The earlier the better, since i'm trying out a better gym, my old gym was getting too crowded and this one seemed to have better equipment. The cool air follows me as I enter the gym.

2 , maybe 3 people are in the gym. A smile grows on my face, the less people the better. Although this gym may have been more towards the die hard gym fanboys. Looking over to the back right I see a very toned and muscular woman maxing out her leg press. Over in the back left a short but bulky man doing battle rope exercise. But I swear there was someone else here, I scan the place another time and shrug it off.

After checking in, I slid into the locker room, put some headphones on and headed out to the gym area. To start, I go over to the treadmill and run on level 3 for 5 minutes. After my stretches and walk, I head over to the weights. There I pull out my phone and look over my list of workouts. Today I was doing my lower body and HIIT (High intensity interval training.) I read off my list,

"3 sets of 10 Dumbbell deadlifts.

3 sets of 10 kettlebell goblet squats

3 set of 10 weighted lunges

And 3 60 second wall sits. Great..."

I crack my neck and walk over to the dumbbells that were sitting on a shelf. I grab the 30 weight and walk over to my spot that I had open. Preparing myself, I turn on my music and straighten out my legs, then. I bend over. Picking up the dumbbell, going up and the placing it back down. Doing this 9 more times, then doing 2 more sets of that, on my last way up I see a figure in the corner of my vision. I take the headphone away from my left ear and look over, and who else do I see. The red haired boy from heart steel. Seth I think it was. "Hey I didn't know you worked out here. It's weird I would take you as someone who works out often." The last line wasn't a insult but rather, it was curiosity. "Hm? Well I just recently started going here." I say kind of distant, "Is there anything I can help you with?" She says slightly annoyed. Looking at the girl with (hair color & length hair). "Uh!" Shit... she caught him staring at her, staring at her eyes. Her lips. Her body. "Oh sorry, I just wanted to introduce myself." he smiles, a confused expression washes over her face. "But I know you, don't I? It was Smiith. Seth. Se..." she hold on with a pause, trying to read his expression. "Sett, it's Sett." A smile formed on his face. Realizing that she remembered her, it gave him a new hope.

"It's good to see you again (Y/N)" A soft smile grows on her face and she tilts her head slightly. "It's good to see you too, Sett." She says flashing a bigger smile and looking away. Walking over to put away the dumbbell she was using. The boy walks behind her, which startles the girl. "Is there something I can help you with?" (Y/N) questions. "Oh I wanted to ask you something." He states, stepping back from the girl. "And that is?"

Awkwardly the boy rubs his neck "Oh, well I overheard Yone talking about setting up meetings with you, you know.. About getting those outfits sized and fitted. I was wondering if you had anything for today? I'm free, that's all, I don't wanna seem weird." He laughs to himself. Not because what he said was funny, but rather to alleviate some of the tension between them. It was something only he could feel, the embarrassment that he forced himself to feel. Sett didn't know why he felt like this now all of a sudden. Usually he's fun and rowdy and never second thinks what he says, but with (Y/N). He second guessed everything he said and did. If the boys saw him like this, they wouldn't let it go for months.

Finally (Y/N) broke the silence. "Um, I'll have to check my schedule, but I doubt I have any meetings today." she smiled and turns her face upwards and to the right, to make it look like she was thinking. "Hmmm, let me get back to you on that after my workout." she nods her head. "Oh! Ok yeah no worries, take your time!" he smiles and starts to walk away. (Y/N) slowly lost sight of the boy, causing her to focus on her workouts once again.
