**Chapter 1: An Unlikely Encounter**

Weiss Schnee walked down the bustling streets of Vale, her eyes scanning the crowded sidewalks as she searched for her target. She wasn't looking for a specific person, but rather a specific type of attire. Her mind was fixated on finding the perfect outfit, one that would make her stand out in a crowd and catch the eye of a certain someone. Eli, a quiet and reserved individual, had been on her radar for some time now. She had noticed the way he avoided eye contact, the way he fumbled with his words, and the way his cheeks flushed at the slightest provocation. Weiss had harbored a secret crush on Eli for a while, but she had yet to muster the courage to approach him. Her usual confidence and poise seemed to desert her whenever he was near. However, today was going to be different. Today, she was determined to take a chance and make her move. As she navigated through the throngs of people, Weiss's gaze landed on a small sports store. The sign above the door read "Athletic Wear" and her eyes lit up with excitement. This was exactly what she was looking for. She pushed open the door and stepped inside, her eyes scanning the racks of clothing. The store was dimly lit, with rows of shelves stacked high with various athletic wear. Weiss's eyes widened as she took in the array of colors and styles. She spotted a section dedicated to running gear and made a beeline for it. Her eyes scanned the racks, searching for the perfect pair of gym shorts. She wanted something that would be attention-grabbing, something that would make Eli's eyes widen in surprise. Weiss's fingers trailed over the various fabrics, feeling the softness and stretchiness of the materials. She finally found what she was looking for - a pair of tight, small gym shorts that left little to the imagination. A sly smile spread across her face as she imagined Eli's reaction to her wearing such an outfit. Next, she began searching for a sports bra that would complement her new shorts. She wanted something that would accentuate her figure, something that would make her look confident and athletic. After a few minutes of searching, she found the perfect match - a sleek, black sports bra that seemed to hug her curves in all the right places. With her shopping complete, Weiss made her way to the checkout counter, her heart racing with excitement. She couldn't wait to see Eli's reaction to her new outfit. As she paid for her purchases, she couldn't help but imagine the scenario playing out in her mind. She would go for a run, wearing her new gym shorts and sports bra, and Eli would be caught off guard by her sudden appearance. She would push him against a wall, and... Weiss's thoughts were interrupted by the cashier, who handed her a bag with her purchases. She took the bag and smiled, feeling a sense of determination wash over her. It was time to take a chance and make her move. With her new outfit in hand, Weiss set off towards the park, ready to put her plan into action. Little did she know, Eli was just a short distance away, oblivious to the fact that his life was about to take a dramatic turn.
