Work Text:
Snorpington Fizzlebean isn’t one for rigorous, straining physical activity. Sure, he has lifted a fair number of heavy things in his profession, but that has always just been a necessary part of the job. Not something he does for fun.
…And today is no different, though why he’s lifting is an entirely different story.
“...NINETEEN!” Snorpy strains as he pumps up a fifteen pound dumbbell, lowering it down slowly once he reaches the peak. “...TWENTY!”
Snorpy pants as he sets down the dumbbell and takes the towel hanging from his shoulder, wiping away the sweat that built up on his brow. Snorpy isn’t sure how Chandlo is able to handle so much physical activity. Snorpy has been working out for ten minutes and he feels like he’s already at his limit.
Snorpy’s arms feel like they just might fall off after that work out…how Chandlo finds so much enjoyment in this is lost on Snorpy. Well, then again…Chandlo is always looking for ways to push his limits, so that’s probably where the fun comes from for him. Much like how Snorpy finds enjoyment in problem solving and tinkering.
Snorpy reaches down and plucks up his water bottle, opening it up and taking a big swig from it.
“Hey, Snorp-dawg! Are you here? I’ve been looking for—” Chandlo asks as he opens the door to his own personal gym.
Chandlo lets out a low whistle when he sees Snorpy. Leaning against the door frame, Chandlo does a once over Snorpy, his eyes drinking in the sight of his dear boyfriend.
“Dang, bro…you’ve been working out, huh?” Chandlo hums, winking at Snorpy. “Lookin’ good~!”
“That…sweet of…you…Chandlo,” Snorpy huffs as he attempts to catch his breath, capping the bottle of water and setting it back down. “But I’m all sweaty and panting, I doubt I look good.”
“But Snorpy, you being all sweaty and panting is one of my favorite looks on you,” Chandlo grins. “Well…sweaty, panting and begging is even better—”
“C-Chandlo!” Snorpy exclaims in a scandalized tone, though he is flattered by his boyfriend's words. “Please, you’re making me blush!
“Come on, can’t a guy flirt with his boyfriend?” Chandlo chuckles as he approaches Snorpy. “And how can I not? Have you seen yourself, bro?”
“Well…I do appreciate your sweet comments, but do you think you could tone it down? I feel like I’m about to burst into flames,” Snorpy bashfully hides his face behind his paws.
“Dawh, you're so cute, Snorp-dawg,” Chandlo coos as he plants a paw on Snorpy's arm. “...Dang, bro! I think I can already feel some muscles developing! You’re gonna be RRIIIPPPEEED!”
“O-Oh I doubt that…” Snorpy looks away from Chandlo, face burning. “I haven’t even been working out all that long. I’m fairly sure it takes much more time and effort for any notable changes.”
“Brawn and brains…wow,” Chandlo whistles, feeling the entirety of Snorpy’s biceps; which there is admittedly very little to feel. “Not to mention cute…I really got myself the full package, dawg! How’d I get so lucky?”
“Chandloooo…” Snorpy groans, a dorky smile stretching across his face. “Please…”
“Please…what?” Chandlo inquiries, standing on his tippy-paw and leaning close to Snorpy.
“Oh! Kiss me, silly!” Snorpy whines, turning his face back to Chandlo.
“Glady,” Chandlo chuckles as he gives Snorpy a quick peck. “...But do you mean that you want me to kiss you silly, or are you telling me to kiss you and you’re just callin’ me silly?”
“Ngggh, you’re impossible when you’re in a teasing mood,” Snorpy sighs, touching his forehead with Chandlo’s.
“You love it,” Chandlo counters, giving Snorpy another brief kiss.
“Mmm, debatable.”
“Well, if you really want me to, I will debate you, dawg. …Though my mouth will be too busy talkin’ to give you kisses,” Chandlo points out. “And I REALLY wanna give you kisses—”
“Oh for the love of— kiss me, you magnificent fool you!” Snorpy exclaims, grabbing Chandlo by the back of the head and bringing him into a passionate kiss.
Chandlo chuckles into the kiss and returns the kiss with renewed vigor, his big arms wrapping around Snorpy’s torso and pulling him deeper into the kiss.
“Mmm,” Chandlo hums contently into the kiss…before breaking it. “Hmm, you know…I never asked why you suddenly got into workin’ out, Snorp-dawg. I’m all for self improvement, but you just really aren’t the most…athletic guy.”
“Well, it’s good for my health,” Snorpy starts. “...And I maybe wanted to impress you.”
“Awww, Snorpyyy!” Chandlo giggles. “You didn’t have to do that! I already think you’re the coolest!”
“W-Well, I also wanted to be able to maybe…I dunno…indulge in your interests more?” Snorpy tries. “So maybe…we could go on a hike together or something and I could actually keep up with you.”
Chandlo places a paw on his chiseled chest as his eyes widen at Snorpy’s words.
“Dawg…that’s so sweet! Ah, I love you so much! You know what? YOU’VE INSPIRED ME, DAWG!” Chandlo suddenly exclaims. “I’m gonna hit the books while you work out! That way I’ll be able to keep up with you when it comes to smart stuff!”
“Chandlo, that really isn’t necessary—”
“But it is, Snorpy! If you’re going to push yourself outside your comfort zone, then so am I! This relationship is a two way street, so I gotta keep up!” Chandlo says as he pats a fist to his chest.
“...Are you going right now?” Snorpy asks in a quiet voice.
“The sooner I start, the faster I’ll improve. That’s how it works, Snorpy,” Chandlo points out.
“Oh…well, I was hoping you would stick around and…perhaps we could snuggle for a bit, hm? Snorpy offers…but then he sniffs his armpit and scowls. “...Then again, I need to shower first.”
“We could shower together. You know, save water and stuff,” Chandlo suggests as he draws little circles on Snorpy’s arm, shooting a flirtatious wink at Snorpy.
“Oh please, Chandlo. If we shower together, we’ll end up using more water than if we showered apart,” Snorpy points out.
“Is that a no for sexy shower times or…?” Chandlo asks.
“I-I didn’t say that!” Snorpy quickly blurts. “But perhaps a bath would be better to save water.”
“Come on, Snorpy. Let’s get ya cleaned up,” Chandlo smirks as he takes Snorpy into his arms and begins to carry him out of the personal gym. “...After we have some fun in the tub.”
“Oh Chandlo~, Snorpy giggles as Chandlo whisks him away.
