"It's not too far, but still. I… just be careful and try not to swing too much."

"Fiiine…" Cas stayed where he was, his face gradually beginning to turn red.

"And don't hang there for too long Cas. You might get a nosebleed…"

"Why?" He asked, curling his tail around his leg so it wouldn't be in the way.

"Well, your nose might not bleed right away, but a lot of other things can happen if you hang like that for way too long," he continued lifting the weight, his breathing begging to become a bit more shallow. "Your organs might put a lot of weight on your lungs, which could make it hard for you to breathe." Sorin glanced at him then back to the ceiling. "But I'm sure you'll be careful."

"Mm…" Cas was starting to feel quite a bit of pressure in his head, and stars sparkled in his vision. "Very."

Sorin looked at him again then quickly averted his gaze. He didn't want to be too overprotective over him but he also didn't want him to get hurt…

Cas closed his eyes for a second and started slipping. The sudden motion startled him and made him fall, though he managed to grab onto the bar and prevented himself from hitting the ground. His tail was fluffed up in fear.

Sorin jumped up and went after him, nearly dropping the weight on his own chest– but it luckily fell on the ground and made a loud clattering sound . He hugged his arms around his waist and carefully pulled him down from the bar.

Cas allowed Sorin to take him, his heart noticeably pounding. He was still quite tense and frozen from being startled, his tail all puffed up just like a scared cat.

Sorin took a seat on the bench press as he cradled him in his arms. He nuzzled his hair and held him closely, pressing a soft kiss between his brows.

Cas buried his face in Sorin's shoulder, trembling ever so slightly. "I-I'm sorry, love… you… you were right…"

"You don't need to be sorry…" Sorin pressed another kiss on his skin. "But are you all right though?"

"Yeah, m'alright… just spooked myself is all." He sighed softly, starting to relax.

"Are you sure?" Sorin asked as he propped him up on his lap.

Cas nodded, looking up at Sorin. "Yeah, I think I'm okay now…"

"Good… good," Sorin nodded slightly as though he tried to convince himself. "But don't let that stop you to try the other things around here. Just… be careful."

"Yes, Sorin…" Cas sighed, laying his head on Sorin's shoulder again as he relaxed.

"Or you could just… fall asleep again…" Sorin chuckled and gently brushed his nose along the side of his face.

"Noooo…" He whined. "I wanna exercise with you. I'm just bad at it."

"If that's what you want to do, then you're more than welcome to– but don't touch anything that's too heavy or pointy either. Besides, I don't think you're bad at it… maybe you just need to do it more often to get the hang of it."

Cas nodded, reluctantly agreeing. "Well, since you're the expert and all, what do you think I should do?" He asked.

"Well…" Sorin looked around the room to try to find him something to do– something that won't get him hurt easily. "Maybe you should grab that mat in the corner and start with curl-ups."

Cas rolled his eyes. "Sor…" He whined. "That's boring. Not to mention I have no clue what curl ups are."

"It's not that boring." He stood up and lied the mat down for him. "And I could always show you how to do them."
