Lifting Weights and Self Esteem || G & Chise

He didnt expect that she'd get so emotional. But how was she to blame? It didnt make sense. It was his fault.
"No no no. What are you even talking about? How can it be your fault? All you did was trip and fall. The red head assumed I attacked you so she attacked me. Its my fault for startling you. You had no control over that. So dont cry" he said and then quickly hugged her

He held her and tried to cheer her up
"Shhh. Shhh shhshhh. Dont cry. Dont cry" he'd tell her gently and continue "Nothing it your fault. Now once again remember what I told you. Turn that frown upside down" he then stopped hugging her and looked her in the eyes "You're a Hero. You're gonna be a real Hero. You got to be strong. Not just physically but emotionally. You have to smile and be strong. So promise me this" he sort of changed the subject, but he just wanted a precaution if anything happened "Promise me, if anything happens to me. Dont cry. Train, get strong and fight crime with a smile on your face. Give people... hope"

This might seem like its out of the blue for Chise, but G thought, if she cries over a simple misunderstanding. What would happen if he's killed in action or if he's arrested for his past crimes or vigilantism. What if they dont see eachother? Would she cry? No, she shouldnt cry for him. He had to make sure. Make her promise. Make her emotionally and physically strong

G sighed and hugged her and this time he held her longer
"You know what I am." he then whispered "I'm not a hero. Not a legal one" and then spoke up gently in her ear again again, still hugging her "You're a real Hero. You will be safer. I might get caught. Im not saying the cops will get me right away. But... its a precaution. Please Chise. You need to calm down. Come on"

Seeing as she's feeling weakly, G saw her as unfit to train further. There was no way she'd do sit up at her state. He then picked her up
"Ok. This is no bueno. You cant do sit ups in this state. Lets get your things and leave" G said holding her up briday style and went to pick up her stuff

"Do you have medicine for this condition?? Is this narcolepsy?? Or just stress?" he asked her

She was crying. Too much. He had to tell her this now. They're student and sensei. Usually on movies, manga and anime. Something would happen to sensei and the student would be traumatized or whatever. Never in media did G see the sensei prepare their students in cause of death or whatever. Meanwhile, G had this feeling that sooner or later he'd get arrested. He could see himself calling Chise from prison telling her that training is canceled forever. He had to let her know there were posibilities. And he realized she needed to becme strong not physically, but emotionally. Sadly, G had no idea how to do that

"Come on. Lets do something better" he said while still carrying her

She was blushing, now thats a start
"Yea? On what planet can you walk? I saw how you looked. Come on, get your stuff" he told her

Chise tried to plead that that they could train, but she couldnt convince G. She was an emotional wreck just like him. When he asked if she had medicine or if she knew the cause of this. She said stress. Yea.. stress. Stress is a killer, no way he'd risk training her under stress.
"Stress. Ok, training done for the day. You and I need to chill and do a fun relaxing activity to calm the nerves. Also dont worry, I wont drop you. If I could carry a giant bee woman. I could carry you as well" G said and helped Chise get her stuff

He wanted to take her home... his home. Maybe let her chill and relax there. Its close to UA anyway. Or maybe take her to a cafe in Tokyo? Or maybe he'd see how his house in Tokyo was doing? He was rennovating it. Or maybe...
"Chise. If you could go anywhere in Tokyo. Where would you go?"

It was time to make Chise happy. Maybe fulfill a wish and buy her something. After all, he bought Akane a gift. Chise could have the honour of choosing hers

"Yea, she said she was Tsutsuji,I call her Yellow Jacket or Yellow for short. I met her just recently. She was chasing some purse snatcher who ran into me. I beat him up. We went to take the snatcher to the authorities and give back the stolen purse. When we got out of public view I carried her because she strained herself. Its simple as that. I'm a gentleman and I carry a lady" he then looked at Chise "Dont think you're a baby because I carry you. Consider yourself a lady. Someone worth carrying around" he wanted to give her some confidence. Being carried doesnt make you a baby or pathetic. Means you're special. Like a princess.

G understood her concern. But.. wait.. "Wait wait wait. You know Yellow? How do you know a giant bee woman?"

After that they talked where she wanted to go. He really wanted her happy. But it seemed she was indecisive. He gently put her on the ground, hoping she wasnt weakly and dizzy as before. They still didnt leave the gym, but they were at the entrance
"Gurl. I understand you wanna be strong. But I dont wanna stain you. If you think you had enough rest and you're not sicky, weak or sleepy. We could do sit ups and train more if it makes you happy. But, I just wanted to do something good for you. Something less straining and more relaxing" he fell quiet for a while before coming up with an idea
"How about next time. You, me and Akane hang out. Would that make you feel better? Forget those negative memories of a misunderstanding. And forge new memories"

She's Chise's teacher?! UA teacher?! Homeroom teacher?! General Studies Teacher?!?!
G thinks if she told him that, but for life of it, he couldnt remember. She probably did, but it completely slipped his mind
"She is quite nice. She's very nice" he proceeded to listen to Chise how Yellow is hard to read, cute when happy, and has an orange blush.
"Now thats a lovely sight to see" he couldnt help his inner nerd. He loves bugs. Of course, he was biased in liking Yellow. G chuckled "We both know her."

After he let her down, she kept saying how he wont strain her and how calmer she is now. He was touched that she cared this much about him. "You're....too kind. I can see you have hero material."

This kindness, this selflessness. She had real virtues, unlike the rest of them. He could see that Yellow influenced this young girl very well, he could see Yellow having many virtues as well. Maybe she was the only true hero he met. Thinking about it. His respect for her went up.

And then suddenly, Chise came up with a solution to their dilemma. He listened to her and decided
"Thats a great idea. I like it! All right then! Lets do some sit ups."

She was so different now then before. He can feel the happiness radiating from her. Now thats more like it.

"Of course we'll do it at the gym.... Also, wait. You said you did sit ups yourself?" he was surprised to hear that his pupil trained even without him. Damn, was he proud of her right about now

G led her back to the gym and asked "So, tell me. Were they hard? How much did you do it in 1 sitting? What was your max record?"
He kept asking for some details so he could try and adjust the training for her properly.

G listened to his student. So she did sit ups and push ups as well. Well, there was no point doing it now, it would feel redundant for G. He should help her with stuff she cant do home. Do something special instead of something average. G looked at the weights they used and remembered an excercise.

He walked over to his 5kg weights and took em and walked over to a bench
"This here is to excercise and train up your forearms. First step is that you start out by placing the weights on one side of a flat bench. Step two is to kneel down on both of your knees so that your body is facing the flat bench. Step three is that you gotta use your arms to grab the weights with a supinated grip aka palms up and bring them up so that your forearms are resting against the flat bench. Your wrists should be hanging over the edge. Step four, start out by curling your wrist upwards and exhaling. Step five, slowly lower your wrists back down to the starting position while inhaling. Step six is that your forearms should be stationary as your wrist is the only movement needed to perform this exercise. Step seven. Just do it" G explained what she should do and showed her each step with using himself as an exmple 

It may have sounded complicated, but he hoped that when he showed each step that it would make it simpler for her. It was some stuff he was looking up online before coming here. He went with the version that used weights and not a barbell like a real man. Chise was too delicate for that
