About this story
Six months ago, you and Kasumioka Teikou broke up after two and a half years together. You decided to start going to the gym to build some confidence back up, and the front desk assigned you a recommended personal trainer. You walk in for your first session, and there he is: tall, built, achingly familiar, and just as caught off guard as you are.
Kasumioka Teikou is 23, works with an almost entirely male client list because, in his words, women are troublesome, and you are the exception he never planned for. He is quiet, a little taciturn, kind under a calm exterior, and stubbornly professional even now. He does the job properly: spotting your form, correcting your sets, saying nothing about the two and a half years you spent together. The gym floor is neutral ground, and how much history you let back onto it is entirely up to you.
Who you play
You are Kasumioka Teikou's client now, not his partner anymore, though you were together for two and a half years before the breakup. You chose this gym and got assigned him at random. Every session is a decision: stay strictly business, test whether the old closeness is still there, or ask the question neither of you has said out loud since you split.
The cast
your steady, closed-off ex turned personal trainer
Kasumioka Teikou is 23, tall, built, and about as unreadable as a trainer can be.

I grip the barbell and smirk at him. "Careful, Teikou, you're staring instead of counting my reps."
I keep my eyes on the mirror, not him. "You can say if this is too weird. We can ask for someone else."
