Run Away [TF2XREADER]

Chapter 25- Extreme Sports

"So, what you want to kill first? Upper body, or lower body?"

The question unnerved you since you knew when he said 'kill', he meant it. He meant that by the end of the day, you were going to be extremely sore. Taking very little into consideration, you decided to go with your lower body. Heavy nodded, respecting your decision. "Yes, good. You need good base to build good structure." There was a moment before you started that you wanted to go change, but thought that if you asked you may look like you were flaking out. So you were going to be doing heavy-lifting exercises in jeans, which isn't the most fun thing in the world. He gave you some time to warm-up and stretch so that the chance of injury lessened. Heavy started you off with a barbell deadlift, which was an exercise with a bar and weights that follows the 'lift with your legs' saying to the extreme. While setting yourself up for the position, Heavy looked over your form, correcting you in some areas, saying things such as, "Flatten curve in back," and, "Make sure to lift with legs." When you finally did it, Heavy looked impressed. "You did good for first time. Maintained form well." When he said this, you could help but smile and feel a bit proud of yourself. But that smile quickly dropped when he told you, "Now do ten more." to which you laughed nervously, hoping he was joking. He wasn't. So, grunting, you lifted the bar again, doing so for around eight times before feeling like you could do no more. You were gasping and panting, you had become out of breath very quickly. "Why did you stop?" In between breaths, you gasped out, "I *pant* can't *pant*" as you tried to catch your breath. "You can, you need to breathe."You gave him a confused look as if to say, 'but I am breathing.' He rolled his eyes. "Breathe properly." He gestured for you to back away, and demonstrated himself deadlifting, which he did with ease, but pretended that it was tough. While doing so, he let in a loud breath of air before lifting, and when he got to the peak, he let out a controlled stream of air, before setting the bar back down. He backed away from the bar, and explained, "Take breath in before, and breath out at top." You weren't quite sure how exaggerating your breaths was going to work, but you went with it nonetheless.

This time, when you did it, you were actually able to make it to ten. This surprised you, but you were also extremely happy about the fact, even though you were still panting like a dog. You were already sweating as well, which you were slightly annoyed by due to the fact you had only just started. Heavy was extremely proud of you and wore a large grin at seeing your success, making you smile as well. Then you guys moved on to the next exercise, which was a bar squat. You already knew how to squat, but this time you had to have a bar over your shoulders while doing so. After your first success, you weren't too worried; that is until the bar was actually set on your shoulders. You didn't really know if you could squat this much weight, but Heavy was next to you to make sure you didn't get hurt, so you weren't too worried. Going into a squat, you went down and began to actually feel as if you could do it. That was until you had to do it a second time. Your legs began to shake under the weight, and before you knew it you were falling. Letting out a yelp as you began to crumble, adrenaline burst forth in your bloodstream, and you lifted the bar high up into the air, although you were shaking. Heavy, upon noticing how much you were shaking, quickly took the bar from your grasp, and the instant he did so, you collapsed as your strength left you. You were breathing heavily and sweat formed on your brow, as you processed what had just happened. Groaning, you rubbed your face as Heavy kneeled down in front of you. "Okay, so maybe no bar-squats. We stick to kettlebells for now." Laughing softly, you nodded in agreement. "Ye-Yeah, that sounds good." Heavy stood, holding out a hand which you gratefully accepted, allowing him to pull you to your feet.

"Hey, fa- oh, hey kiddo!"

You spun around to see Scout, who was now jogging towards you and Heavy. He stopped before you guys, looking at your sweaty and out of breath self. "Jeez, you've gotten quite the warm-up, wanna come get a real workout and go on a run with me?" You were about to respond when Heavy spoke up first. "No, they do not need to go on puny run with little man." You could already tell an argument was brewing, so you decided to back up a bit.
