"Thanks for the encouragement. I won't let them get to me." Kanzaki said with determination as he looked toward the new man.
When the guy saw Kanzaki like this he smiled widely before offering his hand, "I'm Landon nice to meet you." The man now named Landon said with a smile.
"My name's Kanzaki." Kanzaki said as he took the man's hand and shook it with what little energy he had left in his body.
Kanzaki and Landon shook hands though Landon held on a little longer than Kanzaki felt comfortable with. Luckily Landon seemed to realize this and quickly let go and scratched his head with awkwardness.
"Sorry about that. I was just surprised by how soft your hands were and it caught me off guard." Landon said awkwardly.
'Strange.' Kanzaki thought to himself as he intentionally hid his hands from the view of Landon. While he did appreciate the water bottle, now he was hesitant on drinking it since the guy seemed a little out of the normal.
"No worries I get that sometimes. I just use this type of lotion and it helps a lot." Kanzaki said lying as he showed Landon a picture on his phone of a lotion that he had never bought before.
Landon leaned forward and nodded his head as he looked at the lotion, "I see I see. I have heard that that stuff is pretty good though I've never heard the side effects you have gotten." Landon said referencing Kanzaki's hands once more.
Kanzaki nodded his head as he endorsed the lotion but right as Kanzaki was going to say goodbye and go on his merry way Landon spoke once more, "You should probably drink some of that water. It helps the function in your body come back and helps you not pass out. Water is like the gas in your body and you can't run without gas!" Landon said laughing at his own comment at the end.
When Landon mentioned the water bottle once more Kanzaki knew he wasn't going to touch it. There were too many things off about the guy so Kanzaki would rather not risk it. As they say better to be safe than sorry.
"Yeah, thanks again for the water. I'm going to drink it but I'm going to wait until I get to my apartment. I have some food cooking and there's a guest that's supposed to be arriving soon so I got to get there fast." Kanzaki said making an excuse so that he wouldn't have to drink the water bottle.
When Landon heard this he started to retort back trying to make him drink it once more but he stopped trying to talk after a moment realizing there was nothing he could say that would change his mind or even warrant pushing it further, "Oh alright but make sure to hydrate after you leave. It's good for you." Landon said as Kanzaki got up to leave.
"Absolutely. Thanks again and I will see you later." Kanzaki said with a wave as he began walking out of the gym and toward the elevator. This time he wasn't willing to take the stairs since his legs felt like they were about to fall off and Landon had creeped him out quite a bit.
Landon waved him goodbye and Kanzaki did the same until he got to the elevator. Once he was inside he quickly hit the button for his floor and spammed the daylights out of the close door button. He didn't want a scene like in one of the movies he saw where right before the elevator door closed a hand stopped it and someone walked in.
'Not today!' Kanzaki thought as he spammed the button until the door finally closed.
Once the door was finally closed Kanzaki let out a sigh of relief and relaxed against the rail of the elevator until he made it to his floor. Once he was on his floor he quickly went inside his apartment and shut the door locking it with every lock he had.
After he was sure the door was tightly locked he took the water bottle that Landon gave him and walked over to the sink. He opened the water bottle, which suspiciously didn't make the cool crack sound as the lower part of the cap broke off. It had already been opened.
Kanzaki then took a second to look at the bottle trying to see if the water was any different from anything else he had seen but when he saw nothing wrong he considered drinking out of it.
'Maybe a little sip won't hurt.' Kanzaki thought to himself as he edged the water bottle closer to his mouth letting the liquid get close to falling into his now opened mouth.
Right before the liquid dropped into his mouth Kanzaki spun the bottle upside down and began pouring it down the sink. The liquid was dumped out in large volumes into the drain until it was all gone. Once the bottle was completely drained Kanzaki walked over to the trash can and threw the plastic away before going back to his cabinet and getting one of his own water bottles.
'No chance in this world am I going to risk that.' Kanzaki laughed inside his mind remembering how he just trolled himself.
'I think I see why those guys enjoy it.' Kanzaki continued his thought as he thought about the people that came and trolled his stream earlier in the day.
*****
As Landon watched Kanzaki walk away he couldn't help but let his eyes drift toward Kanzaki's butt. He stared at it for a moment as he slightly bit his lip before looking away worried that someone might see what he was doing.
'I know that lotion was a lie. Especially since I was the one who made it.' Landon laughed inwardly as he thought about the way Kanzaki used an excuse to get away from him. Landon realized afterward that he had been far too aggressive but he couldn't help himself when he saw such a fine specimen.
'See you again soon Kanzaki~' Landon thought while licking his lips.
