<span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua'"><span style="font-size: 15px">Listening to Edward's excuse, a knot in his intestines itched as if an intuition. He hoped his new friend told the truth, yet <i>something </i>about what he said did not seem <i>right. </i>But Tiger had zero proof and he didn't care to persuade the man for a better answer. "Alright, well, bulk up on safety lessons instead. If you're spotting for people, you have to know the basics and correct procedures. Otherwise, you might hurt whoever you're aiding next time,". Bringing his drink upwards and nibbling on the straw, he uncurled his limb from Edward's shoulders and shadowed him into the cool ventilation of the building. <br/>
<br/>
A signature half-smile perked on his lips as he drew the straw away and shrugged in reply. "Yeah, I'm a personal trainer at LA Fitness. I had considered applying for the on-campus gym, but I didn't like the idea of seeing people I knew every damn day,". And a little dose of his true intentions bubbled as he thought on the topic more. "I am in-shape, if that's what you meant. Maybe you'll have the opportunity to see how 'fit' I am sometime,". Adding a wink, Tiger pursed his mouth around the straw and sipped the strawberry mixture as he walked with Edward to Biochemistry. His case swung on his wrist as he cautiously observed the man's reaction, praying to receive even the tiniest hint of which sexual preference Edward leaned towards on the spectrum. <br/>

In a few minutes, the pair arrived at the class and Tiger clutched the handle with cold fingers, pressing down and swaying the entry open for Edward. He didn't remember sitting next to the man in previous days, but he figured he might have a shot today. Upon entering the scene, he easily viewed how the majority of the seats were filled apart from three or four singular positions. "Well, guess our luck has run dry for now. I'll text you during the lecture,". Since none of the empty seats were paired in a duo, he selected one of the closest to the exit, unraveling his case from his wrist but not without a second glance over his shoulder to Edward.</span></span>
