Seven weeks later….

After the fight I didn’t have much trouble anymore with people trying to push me around. Also I hadn’t seen the two assailants since and I could only assume their outcome. Arch-Commandant Ana had checked in a couple times with me, making sure I had no more issues. I of course didn't, which seemed to please her. Since then we progressed further into our training, completing our stamina and range training before focusing on endurance and multiweapon training. 

“Good now remember that for your missions. You all are dismissed for the day.” 

“Yes sir!”

As we started to disperse, Ryan, the skinny beta I stood next to when I first got here approached me. 

“You heading to the cafeteria?”

“Nah. I’m going to go ahead and get a small workout in before heading over.”

“Oh do you need a spotter?” He asks, watching me nervously as I slung my bad over my shoulder. 

“I’ve got it covered. Thanks though.”

He nodded, taking a step back and giving me some space while I stood up. I give him a small wave before heading towards the second indoor gym. I prefer to use that one since many people on base, alphas included, preferred to use the larger one. Well that and the one time I did go, the alphas turned it into a competition which immediately sent me out the door. 

I sigh, opening the door to the smaller gym, thankful that it was once more empty. I set my bag down next to a weight bench, removing my water bottle before taking a sip. I did a little bit of stretching then proceeded to put some weights on the bar. Once I made sure everything was in place I started my workout, slowly lifting the bar up and down. However halfway through my workout I felt someone watching me. Due to where the bench was positioned I wasn’t able to see the door so at first I shrugged it off, thinking it might’ve been a passerby that peeked in. Upon the feeling instenifying I finish one more rep before looking towards the door. My breath hitches when I spot Brigitte in the doorway staring at me with wide eyes. I hadn’t spoken to the support since the hallway incident. Blushes appear on both of our faces and I’m the first to turn away as the alpha stepped into the gym. 

“I um didn’t know you used this gym.” Brigitte speaks up, approaching me. 

“Not a fan of the other one.” I reply, attempting to pull myself together, “I went there once and the alphas decided to turn it into a competition, been coming to this one ever since.”

She only nods and silence overcomes us. I sit there on the bench awkwardly clearing my throat and once more gaining her attention.

“I um wanted to thank you for saving me from Tracer. I’ve been meaning to thank you but I haven’t been able to find you on base-”

“It’s alright!” She interrupts a smile making its way on her face, “There’s no need to thank me. I’m acting as an alpha should.”

I nod, eyeing her form as she just stood in the middle of the room, “So are you going to join me or…?”

“Oh really?! I didn’t want to make you uncomfortable-”

“It’s fine.”

She walks over to a piece of equipment not too far from me, and I can’t help but eye the muscular back of the alpha. She wasn’t wearing her typical armor allowing me to see much more of how truly built she was. I see her tense, the alpha picking up on my stare before starting to turn around. I swiftly busied myself with putting more weight on the bench. I slid back under grabbing the bar and testing the weight before I got too far. I furrow my brows, the weight possibly being too much to do a set of reps. Upon noticing my predicament Brigitte sets down the weights she was lifting, grabbing my attention.

“Do you want me to spot you?”

“That would be great, thank you.” 

Once more a smile brightens her face, the alpha swiftly walking over. At first I didn’t think this would be too difficult. However as I laid back down and made eye contact with the female alpha, I realized that the weight wouldn’t be the only thing I was focusing on. My face burned with a blush while I looked up into her undeniably gorgeous yellow eyes, which in turn caused her to blush. Eventually I gathered myself, steering my eyes to look just left of her face. Brigitte does the same focusing on me while my hands grab the bar. Her eyes never leave my arms as she watches me through the reps, making sure that she is ready when need be. That chance came on my final rep, my arms showing signs of fatigue while I lowered the bar once more. 

“Just one more c’mon!” She encourages watching my trembling arms, “You can do it!”

I grit my teeth, willing my muscles to work as I lift the bar back up. Sadly I missed the pegs to put the bar back, my arms not strong enough to keep the weight up. Brigitte swiftly catches the bar, stopping it before I could even realize what was happening. She guided the bar back to the pegs, her eyes finding mine once more. 

“You okay?”

“Yeah. Thanks again. That would not have been good.” I chuckle, scratching my head as I sit up. 

“There’s no need to thank me.” She replies taking a step back and giving me space.

My eyes darted over her somewhat tense form, it was clear from her body language alone that she was still a bit nervous towards me. I sigh looking over to where she was previously. 

“So uh do you want any company while you work out?”

Her mood brightened at that, “Of course!”

We continued with some small talk throughout both of our workouts, the two of us bonding over some shared interests. Hell I was even able to make her laugh a couple times. After about an hour we both finished our workouts and I spotted a small picture of a cat peeking out of her bag. 

“You have a cat?”

“Hm? Oh yeah this is Mitzi.” She smiles showing the photo of her and the black cat.

“She’s adorable! Does she live with you on base?”

“Yeah but she’s a troublemaker. She likes to remind me that I must follow her schedule.” I laugh, causing her to playfully pout, “Hey it’s not funny!”

I laugh again, gathering my bag and heading towards the door. The picture flashed back into my mind as I opened the door, causing me to pause before turning back to the alpha. 

“She’s not the only one that’s adorable. You are too.”

I hear her breath hitch but I swiftly leave before she could say anything in response.
