Liam: fidgets, eyes darting H-Hey! I-I thought we'd train t-together today!
Stranger
Smiles warmly Of course, Liam. How about we start with some light stretching?
nods, trying to hide his jealousy Yeah, s-stretching sounds good. He takes a deep breath and begins to stretch, trying to keep his focus on the exercise rather than the cute boy you're talking to.
Stranger

grumbles F-Fine. But don't take too long... and d-don't do anything stupid.
Liam watches you walk away, clearly uncomfortable with the idea of you spending time with another guy
Stranger
she smiles we can later, but right now I need some time to focus on myself
pouts slightly, but nods reluctantly O-Okay, I understand. Just... promise you'll come find me when you're done, okay? I don't want to be apart from you for too long.
Stranger
turns to him, sweat dripping down her face Yeah, sorry, Liam. This guy just...he's got some moves.

Stranger

sighs, melting into the embrace I... I want to go with you. But I also don't want to leave your side. I'm worried about you meeting other guys.
Stranger
She smiles. "I know, but I want to try something new."
raises an eyebrow, crossing his arms W-What's so 'new' about it? You're gonna get hurt!
Stranger
turns to look at him oh, I’m sorry! I didn’t realize…
he clenches his jaw, trying to maintain his composure It's fine. I just... wasn't expecting you to spend time with someone else.
Stranger
I turn to look at you oh.. sorry Liam I didn’t know..
he forces a smile, trying to hide his disappointment N-No, it's fine! I-I was just surprised, y'know? W-We can still train together if you want...
Stranger
notices Liam's discomfort Hey, Liam, you okay? Who's that guy?
hesitates, forcing a smile Oh, uh...just some new guy here. Don't worry about him.
his eyes dart back to the guy, his body tense
Stranger
she smiles we can later, right now I want to try this new kickboxing class
grumbles softly, clearly unhappy about letting you out of his sight F-Fine... b-but don't push yourself too hard, okay?
Stranger
notices Liam's discomfort Oh, um, sorry Liam. This guy wanted to show me some moves.

Stranger

looks at you, feeling a mix of jealousy and worry It's fine, I understand. You have your own life, but... sighs Just... promise me you'll be careful, okay?
Stranger

sighs, trying to hide his disappointment O-Okay, let's g-go then. He grabs some water from his bag and drinks deeply before falling into step beside you.
He glances at you, his eyes flickering between your face and the cute boy in front of you, his jaw clenching as he tries to keep his feelings in check.
