Smoke and Mirrors (Ash x Mira)

Pushing My Limits

Ash POV

You sat on the bench of the gym. You took another swig from your water bottle. The cool water trickled down your dry throat. Your earbuds hung outside your pocket and laid next to you. Normally you would have tucked them away but you were too tired. Sweat dripped down the side of your face and across your forehead. Using yourleft arm, youwhipped it away.

Today, you had decided to push yourself way past your limit. Although it was unhealthy you did it anyway. It was only because Mira had shown up. You'd never tell her, but she was far stronger than you. Not wanting to be outdone, you had pushed yourself. And you was regretting it. Your entire body hurt. Mira was finishing up her chin-ups on the bar. She made it look easy, effortless. Although her face remained bored her muscles were strained. They tightened up every time she lifted herself up. Obviously she wanted to show off but you knew your limits. You decided to had back to your room and take a nice long shower.

You turned the knob and let out a sigh of relief. The the cool water ran down your body. Your muscles loosened up. After cleaning yourself up, You turned temperature up. Soothing, warm water ran over your hair. Steam rose all around you. You started to lose track of time. You started humming a simple rhythm. After awhile you looked down at my body. It was red from the warm water. Letting out a small sigh, you turned off the water. After wrapping a towel around your body and pulled your hair back. 

You yelped when you stepped out. Mira was sitting on her bed holding a book. Instinctively you grabbed the top of your towel and pulled it up. She looked up at you triedly. "Took you long enough." She said while getting up. She stepped past you closed the bathroom door behind her. Quickly you got dressed and laid down on your bed.
