You avoid him to the best of your ability from then on. You learn his name is Johnny when he meets up with a friend But he always seems to be at the gym. He’s got you extremely self conscious, clothes even baggier than they already were. Sweating up a storm as you tried to avoid eye contact. Luckily it seemed like he got the message. He didn’t try to interact with you after that one day. But you could still feel him, his eyes. Fuck, those eyes, digging into your form like a barbed arrow. Always there. And if you’d turn around to look at the man that was their source, he’d just give you a silly little grin.
Jesus Christ this had to be some kind of game to him. But you couldn’t say his attention didn’t make you feel at least a little flush. Those charming smiles, his boyish hair, partnered with his stubble that exudes some semblance of maturity. You’d be lying if you said you hadn’t caught yourself staring from time to time. How his muscles flexed or his breath got heavy after a particularly difficult set. But you knew you couldn’t have him, and you knew he didn’t want you. He was simply another gym rat who was questioning why the fat girl was in his gym.
Eventually, about after three weeks, you decided to confront him. Maybe you got tired of the stares, that to you, felt more like glares. Or maybe you’d just had enough that day, from getting yelled at work, to someone scratching your car, to something as minuscule as you not playing attention and filing your water bottle with to much water, getting it all over you in the process. Regardless you’re just tired. And this fuckers eyes, drilling into your back rolls is not helping.
“Did I do something?” You ask him crossing your arms. You had to tilt your head to look him in the eyes. You watched as he smirked about to respond, but before he could, you continued. “Look I understand I’m not the prettiest sight but I’m simply trying to work out. I try to avoid you I really do, I’ll stop mid-rep, and practically dart to the other side of the gym just so you don’t have to deal with me.” There are tears welling in your eyes now, so worked up from the day, or the week, or hell this month has just been a disaster. You continue, “I leave my water half-filled cause you’re passing to go to the bathroom and won’t stop staring at me. I know I’m fat ok. Im here for a fucking reason-“
Johnnys brow furrows at that last point. His smirk lowers into something much more grim. He takes a breath and that stern look is already shifting into one of concern and kindness.
Before you could continue he cuts in. “I don’t ‘ave a problem wit cha Bonnie.” It’s deep and authoritative, it catches you off guard. Now your brows furrow.
Taken aback, you stumble over your words as you answer. “W-what? So all those stares, all the times you’d get in my way, messing with me, that was cause you liked me? Sure.” You scoff with disbelief. Crossing your arms and turning your head to the side with an eyeroll as you wait for Soaps response.
But it never really comes. Save for the sheepish nod and grin he gave you. His arm rubbing his neck nervously. Holy shit. He liked you. Like, liked liked you. You were gonna vomit. Your head whipped back to him. Uncrossing your arms to fidget with them in front of you. Your eyes went wide, with something similar to fear.
Your thoughts flooded with all the worst case scenarios. You dart your eyes around, looking for friends chuckling, or a camera to catch this “EPIC PRANK ON FAT GIRL 🤣”. Lord knows this wouldn’t be the first time you were the butt of the joke.
Sensing your discomfort Johnnys eyes focus back on you with concern. His arms going out like he’s soothing a lost puppy. “Look Lass, this isn’t a prank, or a dare, an’ Aye truly am sorry for makin’ ye feel uncomfortable. But Aye’d like to make it up ta ye. Can Aye take ye out on a date?”
Yo ur first instinct is to obviously say no. Walling yourself up. Having to figuratively harden yourself just because you were physically soft. And god you want to believe him. You want to trust he’s being genuine. You wrap your arms around yourself. Concealing everything you hate about yourself.
You look up to give him your answer and that was your mistake. Your mouth forming the word “no” but it falls short once you catch a glimpse of his adorable puppy dog blues. Head tilted to the side and down at you like a true retriever. Shit. The way his eyes bare into you in this moment, no longer harsh or berating, but loving a truthful.
So with a sigh, and against your better judgement, you say yes.
