"You're on. Doctor. Just remember who the firefighter is and who spends all of his time in an office." Eddie smirked.
Buck wasn't scared. He might not be a big, tough firefighter, but he was no slouch in the fitness department. He went to the gym at least four times a week, but usually more. And size-wise, he did look bigger than Eddie. "Let's do it then, Mr. Diaz."
They faced each other. The rest of the 118 were gathered around the duo.
"Lots of testosterone here," Hen chirped.
They ignored her.
Chim counted down. "3-2-1." Both bent down and lifted the first barbell at the same time. They thought about taking turns, but they both loved watching the other work out and get sweaty. It added another layer to the competition as they had to will themselves to stay focused and not get turned on.
They both were able to lift the 60 pounds over their heads without any issues. When they put the barbell on the ground, they both added more weight. After silent communication, they decided on 20 more pounds.
When they got into position, they waited for Chim's countdown. "3-2-1."
And again, lifting 80 pounds over their head was no problem.
And again, the barbell was on the ground and another 20 pounds were added to each of their barbells. And again, they waited for Chim's countdown. "3-2-1."
And the 100 pounds went over their head with no struggle.
Eddie was beginning to get sweaty. Buck licked his lips. He really did love a sweaty Eddie.
The way Eddie's were glued to his chest, watching Buck's shirt stick to his skin, Buck knew Eddie was similarly affected.
They had two more rounds of lifting barbells. First 120 pounds, and then they jumped to 150 pounds just for the heck of it.
And Buck was beginning to have a serious problem in his shorts. And by the bulge, so was Eddie. At 160 pounds done, both were panting as they put the barbell down, their eyes never leaving each other.
"You ready to get out of here?" Buck asked hopefully.
"Never thought you'd ask." Eddie grabbed Buck's hand.
"But we don't have a winner!" Chim hollered as they raced away from the group.
In about 8 minutes, the time it took the pair to get to Eddie's truck and park the truck further away from the station, away from prying eyes, they were both winners.
