Peraya: FriendSHIP

Flex'em good, if you could

The first time Krist realized he was attracted to men, he didn't think it would happen in a gym full of men. He wasn't the kind to drool over bulky figures and loud, unnecessary grunting. No, his type was somewhat lean yet atheletic, got his muscles in all the right places without looking like a muscle head. Toptap had dragged him into a gym he was frequent to after Krist's membership expired from his previous venue. It's not like the facilities were poor or that the instructors were harsh but Toptap wanted them to work out together, spend time with friends and hang out after.

And damn, Krist is not regretting his choice.

Just across the entrance, at the other end of the hall, he saw a guy-- man, kicking a punching bag so hard, the harsh smash echoed all over the vast space full of working bodies. Honestly, the strong impact hit Krist's senses with so much force, shivers raked down his spine and making his toes curl pleasurably good. His eyes trailed down the man's dark skin, watching how his hard six pack abs flex for every preparatory position and seeing his thick thighs rise up to send another impact on the poor bag. The chains rattled uncontrollably and even caught the attention of nearby passers, especially women.

"Kit, let's go," Toptap tapped his shoulder and gestured for him to mert their instructors.

He later learned that the man's name was Singto. He was training his stance and positions because he was a Muay Thai instructor in the upper floors of the gym; had been for three years now. Oh, how Krist desperately wished he enrolled three years earlier. Singto was a smooth talker. A very good one at that. He can take a hint whenever someone was blatantly flirting with him, hence why he was fast to turn down any offers as well. Though, not wanting to beat around the bush, Krist had boldly admitted his attraction.

"I'd like to see where this is going," he said. "Though I'm not forcing you in any way," he quickly amended.

Oh, did he forget to mention the guy was a complete tease?

"You're not forcing anyone into anything," Singto chuckled as he casually leaned on the bench, his arms flexing at his movements and he didn't fail to notice how Krist's eyes did not strain from the sight. "I'd love to give you a good time if you're sure about what you're doing."

Krist's eyes snapped towards his and the younger didn't even bother hiding his amusement. "I don't half-ass my decisions."

"Let's see about that then," Singto retorted back playfully. Krist's eyes narrowed but the smirk playing on his lips prompted Singto to return the same amount of excitement he was exuding.

It only took three dates before Krist was pressed against Singto's door with his tongue deep in his mouth, forcing moans and whines out of his lips. Three weeks of being officially together before they both caved and allowed each other to touch. Six months after, Krist was spreading his legs for Singto to settle in between, touching him in his most intimate spaces and making him moan softly. They had been the only two left in the gym since Krist wanted to learn Muay Thai and Singto was very much happy to comply but when an unexpected yet erotic accident happened, things became very complicated.

"We should take this somewhat private, don't you think, P?" Krist asked breathlessly, cheeks flushed and sweaty after a long and tiring day of sparring with his boyfriend.

Singto was panting too, keeping himself upright before he drops his entire weight on the man beneath him. "That's a good idea," he nodded mindlessly and pushed himself up.

Luckily, the gym was part of the condo unit Singto was living at so running towards the elavator and gropping each other without worrying of any audience had never been so much of a relief. Unfortunately and fortunately, Singto's unit was in the 12th floor and the gym was at the lobby. They had enough time to make out in the elevator yet too much before they reached the privacy of Singto's room.
