A couple of people were looking at Roderich’s direction as well. Unfortunately, they weren’t admiring the curves of his body with his toned abs. Rather, they were curious, concerned, and overall amused at how Roderich looked like a dying fish out of water. Dressed much too formally for a gym, the Austrian drew attention to himself that only made him more nervous
( ... )
At first he decided to ignore the man and keep lifting, but when he looked over again and noticed how he was handling the treadmill, Moon couldn't help himself. He put the weights away and got up, watching Roderich.
What in the world was that guy doing? Had he never run on a treadmill before? It was quite obvious that he hadn't, Moon figured as he walked over.
"I take it you don't come here often?" he asked, pressing the Stop button for him.
Roderich was about to slip and fall flat on his face when the ground stopped moving, and an mysterious man in a braid appeared next to his treadmill. Roderich had no idea braids were still in fashion. As soon as the treadmill stopped moving, Roderich hopped off and backed away from it, as if it was going to explode in a few seconds if he didn’t.
He took a breath and calmed his nerves. If there was one thing Roderich was good at, it was keeping calm and staying classy. He offered the man a nod as a thank-you.
“I’m afraid it’s my first time,” he said quietly. He pulled out a handkerchief and dabbed the sweat from his forehead. “These machines are rather tricky to maneuver.”

"I can tell..." Moon thought to himself, but resisted the urge to say it out loud. The guy didn't seem at all like someone who spent a lot of time at a gym. He seemed more... Classy. Almost aristocratic.
For all Moon knew he could've never been in a gym before in his life...
"... Do you need any help?" he then finally asked.
