"Okay, everyone, please raise your hand if it's your first time here at Code Red." Kirishima announced to the decently full lobby. There were about five people that raised their hand excluding Bakugou until Ochako hit him on the back of the head and he reluctantly did. "Alright, all those people who just raised their hand, please follow me into the gym."

He walked towards the glass doors of the equipment-filled room and held the door open for all six people as they walked in. Once everyone was in, he let the door drift shut and he faced the group of people.

"So, you should have already received your armbands at the front desk and if you haven't there will be time to snatch one before class starts; this really isn't gonna take long. Your armband tracks your heart rate throughout the class and it will show up on the TVs above the treads right there," he pointed to the monitors he was referring to. "What we're aiming for is to stay in the red zone. This is the zone that you burn the most calories from fat during and after you workout. Usually, you'll keep burning calories up to twenty-four hours afterwards. The orange zone is the highest zone, telling you that you're overexerting yourself while the gray and green zones are the two lowest zones." He went on to explain how the class setup works and what the different exertion indications that he gives mean on the treadmill.

Throughout the whole thing, he couldn't help but stare at the blonde. He would always try to look at the other people in the room but his eyes kept straying back to the so very attractive blonde guy. He really hoped Bakugou didn't notice.

He did. He so did. Bakugou couldn't help but check out the very built redhead himself. He had thought of himself as fit but hot damn, this guy was the epitome of in-shape and he was loving looking at him. If this guy was gonna be his trainer, there was no way he wasn't gonna go every time Ochako went.

That's what ended up happening too. Every time Kirishima was teaching a class that fit into Bakugou's schedule, he'd always text Ochako and ask if she wanted to go and more often than not, it worked for both of them.

Throughout the time that the blonde was spending at the studio, he really, really tried to flirt with the smokin' hot trainer. He didn't know if he was doing a poor job or if the guy really just wasn't interested but Ochako had said that he was super obvious so it kinda put him in a bitter mood to think that he just wasn't interested. He thought he should've known. I mean, he's a personal trainer... that's like the straightest job you could have. He told Uraraka what was bothering him when she asked and she said that Kiri's just a big meathead who probably isn't picking up the hints he's dropping.

Apparently, there had been a time when Ochako herself had a crush on the guy and he didn't notice her flirting with him at all. She found out he didn't notice when she had a conversation with Mina Ashido, one of Kirishima's coworkers, and she had said that he was completely oblivious. She had just laughed and forgot about it, it was just a small thing anyways. I mean, who wouldn't be attracted to the incredibly built, yet soft trainer that truly invested 100 percent into the people he trained. He has such a big heart it's adorable - who could resist?

Mina did notice how hopelessly Bakugou was trying to flirt with her redheaded friend and he was so obvious that there was no way Kirishima hadn't picked up on it. She thought the same thing Bakugou did: that he just wasn't interested. It was quite entertaining to watch, however.

There was one day that Bakugou was walking past the front desk on his way out while Eijirou was doing some paperwork and looking at the profiles of the clients that were coming in for the next class. Bakugou had flat out said, "bye, sexy!" It was aimed at Kirishima who blushed, making a smirk grace Katsuki's face as he slipped out the front door to his car. The blonde had figured that maybe the only way to flirt with this dense idiot is to just be blunt.
