He laid flat on the bench, his features fully focused on lifting the bar. Muscles in his arms flexed with each push, creating a light sheen of sweat across his forehead and chest. His hair was normally parted down the middle, but now it all fell back over his ears, his bangs lightly dampened. A cigarette box sat unopened behind him on the window sill. For a moment, Eren allowed his imagination to run wild with the thought of the taste of that man's lips pressed against his own./p
p"Eren, stop staring. You're drooling all over your donut." Armin's disgusted voice pulled Eren's attention away from the gym across the street. A blush slithered its way across his cheeks as he wiped his chin with the back of his hand and set down the pastry after an irritated sigh./p
p"I wasn't staring. I was just, um, admiring that big ass tree in the middle of the sidewalk. The leaves are just so, ah, leafy and orange and yellow… and orange… and yellow… and yeah," Eren cleared his throat and adverted his gaze when Armin shot him a pointed look. /p
p"You've been doing this for a month now ever since ihe/i started working out at that Planet Fitness gym," Armin rolled his eyes, nibbling on his Bavarian cream donut. Eren had tried keeping his focus on his friend across from him, but the gravitational pull towards the direction of the gym weighed down too heavily to resist. This was a tradition they had kept for eight years- they'd go to the donut shop every Monday and Friday and chat about a new video game (that either really rocked or really sucked) or work. Or in this case, they'd chat about hot toned guys./p
pEren proceeded to take a large bite of the chocolate dough just as Armin quietly suggested, "You could go talk to him."br /
Eren's pastry made a wrong turn to enter his windpipe. He thumped his palm on the table, which he received a few annoyed glances for from a group of girls at another table. He shook his head, his eyes wide with fear and an electric thrill at the thought of talking to the man he'd been secretly obsessing over for the past month. Armin chuckled at the brunette's reaction then put on a thoughtful look./p
p"It's kinda funny how they put a gym right across from a donut shop. It's like they're on two different ends of the spectrum, but the businesses actually help each other out in a way… Hmm. Maybe–," Armin stopped mid sentence when the bells on the door chimed and a devilish smirk slowly snaked its way onto his face when he saw the new customer. One of Eren's eyebrows quirked at his friend's expression. "You'll thank me for this later." /p
pBefore Eren could inquire the blonde, his drink was knocked into his lap, each ice cube nipping at his legs. A yelp escaped his lips and he shot out of his seat, slamming right into someone. He lost his balance over his own feet and fell at the person's feet with a string of curses. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Armin trotting off to the bathroom with a grin on his face. Eren winced, his head ducked, and chanced a glimpse up at the newcomer. /p
pHis black bangs hung over his forehead now and the towel that was wrapped around his shoulders slid down to his small hand to be handed to the boy on the floor. A black tank top hugged the man's beautiful body and suddenly Eren felt jealousy towards it for blocking the view and getting to touch the skin Eren desired to feel./p
p"That was slick," the man snorted. Eren snatched the towel away and patted his shirt and pants off, a furious heat licking his neck and face. A spot on his pants, right above the crotch, refused to remove itself and seemed to just get worse the more he rubbed. The raven haired guy heavily sighed and crouched down beside Eren, taking away the towel. "Dab it, don't rub it." /p
pEren's eyes widened as the attractive man began dabbing the spot on his jeans. He subconsciously began to lean towards him, his mind sent into overdrive from the craze of his hormones. Everything felt like a dream as black hair and brown hair came in contact, soft lips brushing against the shell of the brunette's /

"I know you've been watching me," the boy shuddered in response and in return, a breathy chuckle tickled his ear, "Eren Jaeger," again another shudder, "I hope you're ready for this."/p
