[non-canon]

Honestly, He had no other way of explaining it but, Walt was a broken man emotionally.  His first boyfriend cheated on him with several guys and lied about it for a year, his dad hates him for being trans and gay, his parents were divorced by an early age, he failed kindergarten and the 9th grade.  Pretty much a soft insecure muck surrounded by a body of strong steel.  So, when he had a crush on a new person, shit hit the fan.  He tried to not think about it but couldn't stop thinking about this person. In fact, he would force himself to not look at them when they were both at the gym at the same.  Until the Blond person walked over.  

"Hey, um, can you help me with something? I don't know how to work a machine..." The blond asked.  "Uh, sure? I guess." The ginger stated said as he placed down his dumbbell.  After explaining, and demonstrating how to use the machine, he wiped it down and let the shorter person use it.  He wanted to ask their name, but that would be awkward.  "So, what's your name?" The blond asked as they started the machine. "Oh, my name is Walten-"

"Oh, wait, Walten?  Your father runs the biggest high heel company in this country is he not?"

"I mean I guess, but-"

"I thought he had a daughter, she was there when I visited fifteen years ago, though she seemed sad."

"That was my sister, I was staying with my mom before they divorced... I have to go now..."  He said walking off, before being stopped by the blond.  "I Haven't even told you my name yet." They spoke.  "It's Ava." 

Walt sighed and said fair well before going home to shower, maybe even record more fitness videos if Evan didn't want him to watch anime with him.  Though he didn't care about it, Walt liked the company.  He showered quickly and checked his pants pockets for any coins before putting them in the hamper, when he found a piece of paper.  It had a number on it. He put it in his phone and texted it.  

"Hello?"

"Hello?"

"Who is this, I have a number from my pocket, so I'm assuming that you're Ava, from the gym."

No response.  He thought up some reasons that Ava gave him their phone number. "It could be that I could be a trainer, or maybe they like me- no, of course not, they probably assume I'm too cold for love."  He thought before texting Evan. 

"Hey, so are you busy tonight?"

"Yeah, me and Preston are going out on a date, why?"

"No reason.  Well, have a good evening."

"Thanks."

Walt sat his phone on his bed before taking off his chest binder, seeing that he had nothing to do tonight.  He sighed and sat on his bed, waiting for a reply from who he thinks is Ava. Then he got a call.  "Hello-"

"Hey, Walten, right? Anyway, how are you?" 

"I'm fine, who are you-"

"I'm Ava's girlfriend, so you better not touch them."

This made Walt feel saddened.  "Oh. I didn't know that."

"Yeah, so you shouldn't try to be with him." She said hanging up.  

Walt sighed and just sighed.  He hasn't talked to anyone in about a week.  Evan visited him.  "Hey bud, are you okay?" He asked, stepping around the broken furniture and glass on the floor.  "No, I'm not okay! This fucker who I liked fucking played me on like a chump! They have a girlfriend!  Their straight! " Walt shouted as he threw a glass onto the floor.  "Y'know, maybe you should trick him into thinking you're a girl." 

Walt just looked at him.  "No! I'm not going to just not take my gender identity seriously! I spent too long being myself, and I would be too awkward to just be something I'm not!"

"Fine, it was just a suggestion."

Later that week, Walt decided to go back to the gym and started pumping some iron when he saw Ava enter.  The buff man just ended up putting more weight on his set to release his anger is a dignified way.... Until Ava started walking towards him.  "Hey, I say you weren't in the gym for the past week, are things, okay?"  They asked.  "Yeah, I'm o-fucking-kay..." 

"Whoa, no need to use F-Bombs."

"Well, there's no need for me to talk to you since you have a girlfriend, so I guess I can go out and say it now, since you have a girlfriend and are just going to reject me anyway, so here we go.  Ava, I had a crush on you..." Walt said before wiping down his machine and getting out of there.   "Wait!" Ava said before running after him. The nonbinary chased after the raging man, until they tripped, causing them to yell.  The ginger heard this and caught them.  "Why are you following me...?"

"Because I like you too."

"Bullshit! I got a call from your girlfriend!"

"I don't have a girlfriend!"

"THEN WHO CALLED ME?!"

"I don't know! Probably my brother pretending to be a girl! He's really protective of me!!!"

"Oh..." Walt put them on the ground.  "Sorry for assuming shit..." 

"Y'know, it's fine, I actually needed to yell.  Being petit really sucks..."

Walt pauses.  "But I yelled at you, why do you want to be with me?"

"Why not?  You seem strong, perfect for my bodyguard, I can see you protecting me and me hugging you when I'm scared." Ava smiled and jumped up, kissing Walt's cheek. He blushed as their soft pair of lips hit his cheek. "How about we go on a date?" Ava asked.  "Okay, but may you just get my texts and respond?"

"Sure, anything for you babe~" Ava smirked and hugged him close.
