Jean and Jeremy at the gym, running on the treadmills next to each other (not racing each other at all.. are they?), increasing the pace every few minutes, until both start breathing heavier. Wet hair plastered to foreheads, droplets of sweat running down, cheeks reddened. Jeremy breathes out a quick “getting hot, yeah?” and to that Jean just takes his own tank top off in one move. Jeremy trips. It takes him a few seconds to find his balance again, grasping onto handrails, fighting to take control back. But Jean Moreau is merciless today because he says “watch your step, captain,” like he’s not breathless at all. And Jeremy immediately slams the red emergency button on his treadmill, not to fall over at the double entendre
