CE-XX making the yeswole outcome iteration canon... closing my eyes

[wordchain]

[ Inexplicably, intense training montage music plays in the background whenever Yesod crosses paths with Alhaitham at the gym. While he hasn't discarded yoga entirely in favor of pursuing other forms of exercise, these sessions are beginning to prove more effective when it comes to achieving a recent goal. He isn't tracking measurements over time or anything of the sort, nor has he been comparing his changed physique too closely against a source of motivation, but the results are discernible even beneath the layers of his customary attire. The fabric of his shirts stretches tighter around his arms, across his shoulders and chest. Fastening every button remains his preference, but it feels rather strange by now.

It looks a little ridiculous as well, he thinks. On the other hand, outside of his gym wear, he can't imagine himself going as far as dressing as Alhaitham does. The goal isn't transforming into a substitute for the other man, attempting to replace him as a backup option, no matter what drew Netzach to Alhaitham. Rather, he'd simply reasoned that if he had come to discover multiple ways in which he derived enjoyment from Netzach's presence, offering Netzach the same in return would only be fair.

Perhaps he could also grow accustomed to baring more skin, eventually...

Glancing across the room, pausing before making his way over to the next station for another set of repetitions, Yesod observes Alhaitham and his technique. ]

[Netzach is a nice guy. Alhaitham even likes his company, but a confession hadn't been on his mind until it happened. He let Netzach down... well, he let him down. Netzach wasn't very surprised, at least. Netzach just wanted him to know. Now he knows. Since there's no expectations, Alhaitham considers that a clarified and done deal.

Yesod is also a nice guy. He's been hitting the gym more frequently the same times Alhaitham does. Far be it for Alhaitham to judge someone picking up new hobbies.

Today Alhaitham is on the bench press, lining up the weights to a moderate level for his capability. Yesod, upon entering, gets a nod of acknowledgement before he lays over the bench and begins to push the weights up.]
