what if its not enough what if it does nothing

ex military ghost seeing gym rat soap flex in the gym mirrors and being concerned by how visually dehydrated and unhealthily cut he is

(cw disordered working out and implied unspecified ed)

ghost whose body is soft with fat, covering a soldier's build; he's stronger than every man in this gym and none of them would know. the culture’s shifted away from working muscle and strength, from health, and he’s known that for a while. but something about this one, the almost desperation he sweats with as he crosses pb after pb, holds his attention

he changes his workout hours to line up with his, changes his circuits until they’re on the same row of machines and uses the shared interest in weight training to introduce himself. he almost cringes as he does it but soap doesn’t hit him with the typical bro energy he’s gotten used to in gyms; he meets him with a smile, doesn’t try to crush his hand as he shakes it, even offers a spare hand towel to wipe himself off with

he’s nice, truly and genuinely nice and ghost hates that he’s gotten caught up in the swell of toxic self-hatred sweeping through his generation

he offers to be soap's spotter, getting him settled under the bar and though he gives him an odd look for it, follows his nudges to get his shoulders in a better position. he does the same to his wrists and elbows - it’s like he was never taught how to lift, just watched similarly untrained men and tried to emulate their movements - and sees how much he's lifting as he stands ready to catch the bar

all he can think of is how much more he could be doing if he just took care of his body instead of starving it

his body’s screaming for it; for fats and full sugars and salts and carbs, no matter how many supplement drinks he slings back throughout his set, and when he invites him out later, his near-empty plate stands out starkly next to ghost’s full one

as they get closer, he sees the "trainers" soap idolises; the sets it’s clear they don’t follow and the regimes based on nothing at best and damaging pseudoscience at worst. he sees the starved bodies and the borderline dangerous ways they lift and move because they never bothered to learn how; they just wanted the results

at any cost

every single one of them promoting unhealthy behaviour and so obviously taking steroids besides, no matter how much they deny it. but no matter how much ghost tries to point it out, tries to clear the wool from his eyes, soap just doesn't believe him

(can’t believe him. he can’t believe that he can't achieve it, that he can't just do more, be better; it has to be his fault he doesn't look like them no matter how hard he tries)

just ghost trying to lead soap back to a healthy mindset when it comes to body image and working out and getting him to realise he’s unthinkingly using it as a way to hurt himself instead of feeling good in himself the way he used to
