First workout with Hana.

Once 5 o'clock hits, you and Hana stand up and gather your things. You're a bit nervous but know that Hana promised to be nice. As the two off you pass Jan's office, you give her a friendly wave.

As you follow Hana downstairs to the gym, you seem to focus on the score floating above her head a lot. You realize that real time updates are best for when you're around a lot of people at once. If it's just the two of you, you don't need the distraction. Pausing outside of the locker rooms, you look at your phone and turn them off.

While walking into the women's locker room, Hana says, "I'm gonna change real fast. Be out in a minute."

Without thinking, you take a step forward to follow her. You pause and shake your head before changing direction and heading into the men's locker room. While small, it's quite nice inside. It's clear that everything is relatively new and hardly been used. The room has several shower stalls on one side and sinks and toilets stalls on the other. Down the middle of the room are several long wooden benches. You're typically a bit self conscious about changing in front of strangers but since the gym and locker room area is practically a ghost town, you sit your stuff down on a bench and begin undressing. Once you are down to your boxers, you take your workout clothes and shoes out of your bag. You're fully dressed and waiting outside of the locker rooms within a couple of minutes.

When Hana emerges wearing her workout gear, similar to what she was wearing yesterday, she pauses and looks at you with an amused look on her face, "Frank, you didn't have to wait for me. Come on. Let's go."

She gives you a friendly slap on the back as you walk past her into the gym.

To say that Hana has embraced the role of being your trainer would be putting it lightly. She leads you through a series of stretches before you do anything. To be honest, you're ready to tap out at this point. Driven by the desire to impress your new friend, you keep the complaining to the bare minimum. Next the two of you do some cardio on a few of the machines. Even jogging on the treadmill is exhausting. You knew that you were in bad shape but this is just sad...

Hana continues encouraging you the whole time, never once showing any signs of disdain or laughing at you. It's obvious how much you are struggling. You are relieved when the cardio portion of the workout ends. Hana leads you through a basic weightlifting routine using dumbbells. She admits that she doesn't do much of this but thinks that it would be beneficial for you. Every now and then she touches you to correct your form or something like that.

Hana glances at her phone and says, "Alright, I think that's enough for today."

You drop the weights on the ground with a loud thud, "Thank god..."

Your new trainer laughs, "You did fairly well but we're just getting started. Not gonna back out on me are you?"

"Never."

Hana walks to the towel rack and grabs a few. She turns and tosses them at you.

Laughing, she says, "Frank, you look like you just jumped in a pool."

Hana takes some wet wipes and cleans off all of the equipment that the two of you used. While she does this, you catch your breath and towel off the sweat dripping down all over your body. The sound of the gym door opening catches your attention.

Jan walks in and pauses, "Oh... I forgot that you'd be here."

Voice exhausted, you reply, "Just finishing up, Miss Whetstone. Hana absolutely wore me out."

Jan does a once over of your body and gets a disgusted look on her face, "Clearly... Can't say that I'm happy about you dripping sweat all over the place."

Hana jumps to your defense, "I'm wiping everything down! Be nice, Jan. Please."

"Sorry... It's just that I liked it better when it was just you and I, Hana."

You're a bit surprised that Hana can get away with talking to your boss like that. Hana throws away the wipes and takes the towels from you. She chucks them in a basket and leads you out of the gym. The two of you are now alone outside of the locker rooms.

Seemingly frustrated, Hana says, "I can't stand when people do that! You should encourage people to exercise, not run them off!"

"Well thanks for sticking up for me. I really appreciate everything, Hana."

"Oh it's no trouble at all. I like you a lot, Frank."

Your heart melts a little and you can't help taking a step forward and inviting Hana in for a hug.

"Ummm… not sure if I want to hug you when you're all nasty like that."

"Aren't you about to take a shower anyway?"

"Well yeah... but..."

She squeals when you pull her into your arms, "Frank! Oh my god... gross!"

You expect her to wiggle free and of course you'd let her, but instead she just hugs you back. Feeling her pressed against you has a predictable effect between your legs. You break the hug before she can feel anything.

She steps back and holds her arms out, "Okay... Now I REALLY need that shower."

You suddenly get an idea.

"Hold on a second."

You take out your phone and look at the AMA Favorites page, looking for updated scores.

Frank Thompson's Favorite Relationships

Hana Sato

Affection Score: 78 (+13)

Love Score: 5 (+3)

Lust Score: 1 (+1)

Jan Whetstone

Affection Score: -31 (+1)

While the increase in her Affection score is amazing, you do a fist pump when you see the new lust score under Hana's name. You also increased her love score by 3 points!

Hana gives you a weird look, "What's up?"

"Oh nothing. Just family stuff."

Hana turns and starts walking into the women's locker room.

You take a few steps forward and say, "Wait! I wanted to ask you something."

Looking slightly annoyed, Hana spins to face you, "Well spit it out, Frank."

"I could just come in with you and we can shower together."

Let's see what you've got, Affection Multiplier.

Hana looks dumbfounded and there's a few seconds of silence before she replies, "Umm... Frank… why..."

"I just enjoy spending time with you. We were so focused on working out that we didn't really get to talk much."

"That's great but... it's kind of inappropriate."

Backtracking, you feign surprise and say, "Oh I'm not saying we actually shower together! I just mean I use a stall in the women's room so we can chat."

"Well that doesn't sound like a good idea either. You could get in trouble."

"Jan only just started her workout. Plus it's not like anyone else ever comes down here, right?"

"I guess..."

There are massive holes in your logic but you forge on. You could just invite her to join you in the men's locker room but that just doesn't sound as fun.

"I'm sorry. I just feel comfortable around you and didn't think that it would be a big deal."

Hana's face softens a bit, "I feel comfortable around you too, Frank. I suppose that I'm fine with it... Come on. We shouldn't take too long or Jan could catch us."

Hana disappears into the women's room and you make a quick stop in the men's locker room to grab your things. When you enter the women's locker room, Hana's already started her shower. The stalls are pretty private so you can't see inside of hers. You move into the stall next to her and latch the door closed behind you.

Voice echoing off of the tiles, Hana says, "So what did you want to talk about, Frank?"
