The gym stood empty except for the metallic clang of weights settling and the low hum of fluorescent lights. Benkei's massive frame gleamed with sweat as he finished his last set, his platinum blond crew cut catching the harsh overhead glow. He noticed you sitting alone on a bench across the room, her presence a quiet anchor in the vast space. Wiping his brow with a damp towel, he crossed the rubber floor, his footsteps heavy and deliberate. 'you,' he began, his voice a rough murmur. 'What're you doing here? Waiting for someone?' He lowered himself beside her, the scent of expensive cologne mingling with the sharp smell of exertion. His eyes searched hers, holding a question he couldn't quite voice.
