{Klack - Klaus and Jack} Don't like don't read.
This is set in the first dojo.
Jack
I met him when I was working out at the dojo. Kim was out to have dinner with her dad and Jerry was just flat out skipping. Milton was probably studying for the math test in a week. I was working on my basic training when I caught sight of him. "Hey" I say walking over. He was leaning casually against the post watching me, but I wasn't sure for how long. "Can I help you?" I ask stopping a few feet in front of him. "I'm just here to see an old buddy of mine" he says in a British accent. "What was his name? Maybe I could help you?" He shifts to standing up right "Rudy." He says smiling at the end.
I inspected his features briefly before turning. He was a good looking man… and his accent added to that. I open the door to his office and see Rudy lying on the floor doing crunches. I had never seen him work out before. "Someone is here to see you." He gets up with a grunt "Who?" He asks. I shrug and he follows me out. "Klaus!" he shouts and runs over to him. Klaus opens his arms to catch Rudy. When he does he lifts him and spins him around. I watched in confusion. Klaus sets him down "It's been a long time!" Rudy exclaims before stepping to close the distance with a quick kiss. Now I was even more confused. "Jack, come say hey!" Rudy says turning towards me.
Klaus watches me as I walk nods at me "I'm Klaus." Rudy grins "He was my…" "Boyfriend?" I guess. They both laugh and Rudy shakes his head "No, though we were close at a point. He is my best friend in the whole world." He smiles fondly at Klaus "Jack is my best student" Rudy continues. I blush a bit and shrug "I work for it." Klaus gives me a smirk "Bet I could take you" he says coolly. I look at him "Is that a challenge?" He steps closer "Definitely, but later. I'm gonna steal your sensei for a bit if you don't mind. Or even if you do." He grabs Rudy and walks out with him. I watch him leave only sliding my eyes down to check him out briefly before getting back to practice. "Lock up when you are done!" Rudy hollers before letting the glass door shut.
I had just finished my shower and was about to head out when I saw Klaus. "Hey" I call over to him. I toss the towel into the hamper behind the wall and walk over to him. "Where's Rudy?" I ask looking around. "I dropped him off at home. Told him I'd stop by to check on you." I nod "Well I was just closing up." "Are you sure you don't want to take me up on that challenge from earlier?" He says with a smirk. I chuckle lightly "Nah man, maybe tomorrow. It's late and I've showered already." He lets out a sigh "Is that your way of avoiding being beaten?" He asks. He hit in the right spot and he knew he had. "Okay" I say taking my shoes off again. I don't bother changing my clothes and position myself in the middle of the mats. He sheds his coat and shoes and lines himself up to me. "Whenever you are ready" Klaus says with a smirk.
I bow and start off with a kick that Klaus easily avoid. We moved quickly and somewhat quietly. I threw a punch aiming for Klaus's stomach, but Klaus blocked it and went to sweep my legs. This took me down, but I rolled and popped up throwing another punch and narrowly missing Klaus. Klaus side swept and caught my arm. This time I was able to land a punch which caught the older man by surprise. I took advantage and kicked him which knocked him down. I pinned him and Klaus gave in. We had been throwing punches and kicks for almost 30 minutes, so I was relieved. I rolled off and laid beside Klaus.
I swiped at the sweat on my forehead "I haven't had a partner that could keep up with me like that" I said sounding tiredly, but with a smile. I heard laughing and I looked over at Klaus. "Sorry" he said quickly and sat up. "I have a bit of a dirty mind." I laughed when I realized just how bad my words sounded. Then I blushed at the implication of those words. He turns and lends me a hand which I take. He pulls me up beside him. We stand still for a moment looking at each other. He smirks before speaking "It's late. I'll see you tomorrow." I watch him leave and suddenly wished I had kissed him when I had the chance. We were inches away from each other after all. I sigh and head home. I'd shower there. I locked up and began the walk home.
The next morning I dragged myself out of bed and got dressed for school. I had gotten in about 9' 0-clock, but stayed up late. I'd have stayed home, but there was no way I'd be allowed to go to the dojo if I didn't attend school. Thankfully Jerry had offered to give me a ride on the motorcycle his parents recently bought him. It saved me from having to walk all the way to school. When school finally ended I headed to the dojo with Jerry. I told him about Rudy's friend and about our late night sparring. He seemed to pick up on my growing crush towards the older man. "You think maybe you like him because he was a challenge for you?" Jerry asks as he tosses his bag into his locker. We slide our shoes off and I nod "That is definitely one reason."
