Chapter 187: Boxing Gym

When we entered the boxing gym, all eyes fell upon Sena and me. Of course, not just because of Senaʼs beauty but because of how she was sticking to me.

As a regular of this boxing gym, sheʼs already a known face here and sheʼs one of the most popular. A young, beautiful boxer, if she didnʼt become popular here I would doubt everyoneʼs sexuality here. Since itʼs already about 4pm, the number of people still training has already dwindled.

”Sena-chan, whoʼs be? Your boyfriend?”

One of the older regulars who seemed to be in his 50ʼs already asked her when we passed by. The others were just watching or just didnʼt really care.

Sena didnʼt answer immediately, instead, she looked up at me and wordlessly asked what she would answer.

The label fits so I nodded at her and that immediately produced another smile on her lips.

”Yes!”

Her previous boyfriend had stopped going to this gym when I claimed her as mine back then. He probably noticed how Sena changed. Though she kept their relationship, he couldnʼt get past her defenses and that led to him turning sour. Sena confessed to me that they already broke up even before our graduation, she only kept up the illusion that she still has one in a bid to get my attention again.

”I see. Boy, you better take care of our Sena. Sheʼs the diamond of our gym. Huh. Wait, Iʼve seen you before.”

The old man reminded me but upon focusing on my face, he got confused and probably recalled the time I was still going to this gym.

”You probably did, Hisa-jii. Iʼm also a regular last year.”

I knew this old man, heʼs a regular here and someone whoʼs the co-owner of this boxing gym. He was a previous professional boxer, however, his career wasnʼt really good. He had more losses than wins and he never fought internationally, his career ended here.

”Oh! I see. Youʼre that guy training her until late in the night. Onoda, right?”

”Yes. If you would excuse us. Letʼs catch up later.”

”Ah! Go on. Donʼt mind this old man. Just remember what I told you.”

”I remember, Iʼll take care of my Sena.”

After a while, we entered the interior of the gym after registering my name again. Usually, those who take boxing as a hobby didnʼt stay this late and they all start in the morning. All those who could still be seen here were those who were looking for a career in boxing.

In Senaʼs case, this is something she has always pursued since middle school. Though the matches she participated in were all considered entry-level and school competitions, the passion she showed to it was real. I once asked her before if she wanted to be a pro and she answered yes. Thatʼs why sheʼs too dedicated that she wouldnʼt miss a single day.

Itʼs been a while since I was here so I took in the surroundings again, the interior of the boxing gym is a huge space where there were four boxing rings spread out in the middle. Some of it was occupied by those sparring or training with a coach. Surrounding the gym were various areas where one could train. There were heavy punching bags, speed bags and other such types of equipment for boxing.

”Coach!”

Further inside, Sena called out to a woman in her 20ʼs wearing yoga pants and fitted tank top where her sports bra was peeking out. Her arms boasted her muscles and the gains she got from years of working out and practicing boxing. She was currently training with a heavy bag, each punch would generate enough power that the bag would be pushed out of its place.

When she heard Senaʼs voice, she stopped and turned around. This woman is also still the same. Ayuzawa Inaho. She was an olympic-level athlete but because of some kind of injury on her knee, it rendered her unable to enter the professional scene. Due to that, she retired early and switched to coaching young aspiring boxers.

”Long time no see, Onoda-kun.”

Though Senaʼs the one who called out to her, she only gave her a passing glance and instead greeted me. Theyʼre always like that and Sena didnʼt mind it. From how many years she was under her coaching, sheʼs like Senaʼs older sister by now.

”Ah. Coach Ayu. How are you doing?”

She scanned me from my head to my toes before a smile formed from her lips.

”Your form is still the same. You didnʼt stop training even after leaving the gym. When Sena told me you will come again, can you imagine how excited that girl is? Her performance spiked up again compared to when youʼre not here.”

”Coach! You didnʼt have to tell him that.”

With a blush on her face, Sena embarrassingly held onto the sleeve of my shirt.

”I can imagine, look at how she clings to me.”

Riding Coach Ayu at her attempt to tease Sena, the latter punched my shoulder as retaliation.

”Idiot Ruki.”

Coach Ayu laughed at us for a while before turning serious as if thatʼs just the amount of laughter she could produce.

”Alright, you shouldnʼt show your lovey-dovey atmosphere to me. Iʼve already seen that before and Iʼm already sick of it.”

”Coach Ayu still couldnʼt find a guy for herself?”

This is probably why I didnʼt even attempt to go after her back then. This woman, despite her beauty and that figure she managed to carve for herself, couldnʼt land herself a guy. Maybe sheʼs too picky or she just really doesnʼt want one.

When Sena heard that, the hold she had on my hand tightened, maybe afraid that I will also go after her coach now that the restriction of someone being in a relationship was removed. Well, thereʼs really no point and sheʼs not one of my targets, if anything, I wanted to thank her for taking care of Sena all these years.

So to ease her worry, I held her hand and clenched it tight while I turned to her and shook my head.

Even without any word exchanged, Sena understood what I was trying to say to her.

”Oh? Seems like you also grew more balls, Onoda-kun. Are you trying to tease me?”

”Iʼm just asking, coach. I remembered you kept grumbling about that before.”

Upon hearing my words, like a demon who was awakened, Coach Ayuʼs smile turned sinister as she pointed to an empty ring near us.

”Now youʼve done it. I guess a lesson is in order for you. Take up your gloves and get up there.”

”Wait Coach. Heʼs here to help me not to be trained by you.”

Sena got in between us to shield me from her coach.

”Quiet Sena, Iʼll just give a short lesson to your boyfriend.”

Still with a hint of irritation on her voice, Coach Ayu shushed Sena.

Well, I could take her lesson but like Sena said, Iʼm here for her and not for a lesson. I guess I should start being careful with my tongue. I pushed her wrong button, eh?

”Iʼm sorry coach, like Sena said, Iʼm here to help her. Maybe next time?”

Hearing my response, Coach Ayu flared up before releasing a deep sigh.

”I forgot, your tongue is already like this ever since. Go on, change your clothes and start on her training.”

”Thank you, coach!”

Sena cheerfully hugged her before pulling me to the locker room, leaving Coach Ayu behind who resignedly sighed again as she shook her head.

”Onoda-kun, I leave Sena in your hands.”

I looked back and nodded at her as an answer before Sena and I disappeared into the locker room.

Usually, the locker room was divided by men and women but at this time, where thereʼs only a few of us left in the gym, it didnʼt matter anymore. Pulling me inside the womenʼs locker room which was currently devoid of people, Sena put her things on one of the lockers before asking for mine. She will store it to the same locker as hers

Before leaving, I already prepared a change of clothes for my time here so I gave it to her after taking out the clothes I will change into.

Iʼm not fond of tank tops so I only brought another shirt and gym pants like what Sena is wearing.

”Let me take it off you.”

After taking my bag and putting it inside, Sena drew close to me and put her hands on the hem of my shirt, intending to strip me of it. Thereʼs a blush on her face as she stared at my chest, yearning to see whatʼs beneath my clothes.

Since itʼs been a while, I let her do what she wanted. I raised my arm as she pulled my shirt up, taking it off me. As soon as she did, she threw it behind her as she drew closer, putting her hand on my chest, tracing it with her fingers.

After a while, she looked up and reached for my lips. The kiss from earlier was probably not enough. Now that weʼre in a somewhat private space, Sena let loose of her longing for me.

Lowering my head a bit, our lips touched again and another passionate kiss ensued between us and this time, itʼs more passionate than earlier. From standing in front of her locker, I slowly moved us further inside and pushed her back to the locker, letting her lean on it while I continued to kiss her.𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Our tongues once more searched for each other. Her arms clung to the back of my neck as our kiss grew deeper than our bodies started to heat up from the situation.

Still, Sena got a grasp of our situation, once we became satisfied from that short bout of passion we separated with a smile on both of our faces.

”I love you, Ruki.”

With her sweetest voice, Sena whispered as she gave me another kiss.

”Un. I love you too, Sena.”

And I responded to her carrying the same meaning and feelings that I feel for her.

Even if we didnʼt always evolve to erotic situations, times like this where we could convey our love to each other was enough. Itʼs not that we didnʼt feel lust towards each other but thereʼs a proper time for it, weʼre here for her training after all.

After helping her take off her shirt, she changed into a fitting tank top like Coach Ayu in front of me. Once weʼre done changing, we went out of the locker room together to start her training.
