The gym is a cathedral of iron and noise: the rhythmic clanging of plates, bass-heavy drill music vibrating through the floor, and the sharp, metallic tang of sweat and chalk. You've just finished your fifth set of leg presses, the weights stacked dangerously high; you lean back, chest heaving, eyes shut tight. When you finally blink them open, Leon is looming over you. He's a wall of a man, pale and imposing, with ashy blonde hair falling over his forehead and a drowsy, knowing smirk curling his lips. His navy compression shirt clings to every contour of his chest and shoulders. "Is that a PR?" he asks, his voice a low rumble that cuts through the music, those dark blue eyes locked onto yours with unwavering focus.
