[ Focus! Akihiko shakes his head free of ramen as well and nods when Minato says they need to start. They've approached the front door of the gym now and Akihiko just grins, beckoning for Minato to follow him. ]
First, we get in gym clothes. I hope you brought yours but I have a spare if you need.
[ He'll guide Minato to the front desk, checking him in as a visitor before leading him towards the locker room. He's clearly done this a million times with the ease he does it and the way some of the regulars give him a wave. ]
And he sure is serious about it!! He's going to become the strongest.
He'll lead Minato to the locker room and when they reach a row of empty lockers, he'll drop his bag down and start pulling off his clothes to change. ]
Mostly, if not that every other day. It's all about routine, after all.
[ Akihiko just shrugs because for him, it's just what he needs to do. It makes sense. It wouldn't be right if he wasn't going to the gym, wasn't training every day. He needs to do it.
So, while he changes, he explains that much. ]
I don't expect anyone else to be held to the same standards I hold for myself. You see dedication, I see purpose. I have to do this.
[ Because he has to be stronger. ]
And you're not going to slow me down. I invited you, remember?
[ Yes, please don't harsh the training vibe with some armchair psychoanalysis. That would be bad. ]
Yup! Feel free to grab any of the lockers, I just usually use this one.
[ Akihiko gestures to the locker he's been changing in front of. He's already shirtless and is digging into his bag to find his gym pants and shirt. He's going to continue changing now, shucking his pants and swapping for his gym clothes. ]
[Senpai is so comfy with all of this... well, Minato's on a sports team, so it's not that strange for him either. He'll pick a locker as well, digging out his own gym clothes so he can start getting changed.
Once he's all swapped over properly, he moves back over to Akira, head tilting in curiosity.]
So the third year gym uniforms are exactly the same, huh... [why would they have changed, Minato]

[thank goodness, how embarrassing it would be to have to wear senpai's spares....
But also, wow... Akihiko is really serious about his training, isn't he? Minato knew this, of course, but it's different to see it first hand.]
... Do you come here every day, senpai?

[... Akihiko is so...]
You're so dedicated. [it makes him feel like such a slacker!!]
Are you sure me being here isn't going to slow you down or anything?

But he doesn't have the time to dig into that, not when they've got ~training~ to do.]
Mm, okay. Then... I'll just do my best to keep up.
[Yeah!!!]
I guess we should get changed and get started, right?
