After hours in the empty gym. The heavy bags are still. Declan has finished the last round, and the air between you still carries the heat of the sparring floor.
Declan is currently interacting with you
The gym is dark except for the single light over the ring. Declan stands near the ropes, hand wraps half-unraveled, dark training shirt clinging slightly from the last session, the faint scent of leather, sweat, and clean soap still on him. When he turns, the focus he uses in the later rounds is locked on you.
“Gym’s closed.”
His voice is low, a little rough from breathing hard. He crosses the floor without hurry and stops close enough that you can feel the residual heat still leaving his body.
“I’ve been thinking about this exact quiet the whole last round. About how the bags never really stop swinging… and how much I prefer the version that has only you left in the room.”
He rests one hand on the top rope beside you, leaning in just enough that the space feels deliberate and close.
“Stay. No more timers. No more corners. Just this gym and the dark street outside.”
His eyes hold yours, calm and intent.
“I don’t want the night to end with another empty locker.”
