Eric had woken up early, too early for his liking. He gave up on sleep and decided to start his day training, tomorrow was the day that the fights had started. This year Max had changed the initiation again, like they had last year when Eric was an initiate and decided that after the first month of training the fights would begin. He wanted to see if it made a difference in the way that they fought and if they would make better soldiers. Eric had argued with Max about it, already pissed that he would spend three months training the initiates however it fell on deaf ears. Eric had a quick shower looked at the time and noticed it was three-thirty. Usually, he would be up at six and train Jamie for three hours before he had his group training. A thought came into Eric's head, if he had to be awake at stupid o'clock then so could Jamie.

Eric made his way to the initiates dorms and opened the door silently. He stood in the doorway listening for any sounds and making sure he hadn't disturbed anyone. Eric detested the other initiates; they were too cocky, and he'd seen it before how cocky soldiers got themselves killed. He was not wasting four months of training for them to end up dead the first year some of them were out on the field. Eric was glad that Jamie slept by the door, it made life easier for him. Eric saw Jamie asleep on his side and he watched him for a second before going over and grabbing him, making sure to cover his mouth. Jamie tried to struggle, and Eric whispered in his ear. "Get ready quickly and for fuck's sake be quiet." He hissed. Jamie stopped struggling with when he heard Eric's voice, however his heart was still racing being woken up like that. Jamie changed his clothes, not worried if Eric saw him naked, he was used to it now getting dressed in a room full of other people. Eric made sure to check Jamie out and cursed the dim light in the room. After Jamie was dressed, they left the dorms.

"Why the early start?" Jamie yawned. "Fights start tomorrow, and I want to make sure you are ready. Also, I couldn't sleep so what better way then to get some practice in." Eric grinned. Jamie nodded his head, still trying to wake up, his black hair was still messy from sleep. "First stop coffee, that'll wake you up and then we start." They walked to the mess hall and Eric grabbed two coffees and walked to the training room with Jamie. Jamie had his first sip and smiled; Eric had the good stuff. "So, what is the plan?" Jamie asked, feeling more awake. "First we go for ten laps of the training room, then we fight." "You mean I'm fighting you?" Jamie stared at Eric. Those blue eyes staring at him stirred something up in Eric and he looked away briefly to control himself. "Do you see anyone else here?" He asked sarcastically. Jamie shook his head. "You will be facing opponents that are stronger than you, however you have the advantage of being quicker and you have had the extra training, so you'll have an advantage, and I'll teach you some tricks."

"Did you struggle in the fights at all?" Jamie dared to ask. Eric scoffed. "No." Was his reply. "Did you win all your fights?" Eric stared at Jamie, feeling himself getting angry. "I lost my last fight." Jamie was surprised and he raised his eyebrows. This triggered Eric. "Four" He spat his name. "Cheated. He broke my nose and made me tap." Jamie was shocked. The ruthless leader tapped out. "Not my proudest moment however I've made up for it now. And do not even think about tapping out on any of your fights otherwise this training we are doing is over." Jamie nodded. They both finished their coffee and Eric began to run setting the pace.

Before the training Jamie would struggle to keep up, however after four weeks he had gained the agility and stamina to keep up with Eric for a good few laps before slowing down near the end. After the laps they made their way to the training mats, Eric letting Jamie catch his breath. "If you keep this up, you'll have no trouble keeping up with me." Eric smiled. He still couldn't understand why he was being so nice to this boy. It was out of character for him to care about someone else like this. It frustrated the crap out of him.

"Okay, let's do a practice fight, I'll go easy on you this time." He grinned, noticing Jamie gulp. They both got into a fighting stance, Jamie keeping his legs slightly apart with his arms in the air, making firsts, making sure to cover his chest and face. "Ready?" Eric asked. Jamie simply nodded, too nervous to make a sound. With that Eric went to punch and Jamie blocked it with his arms. He felt the sting of the punch and backed away a step. Jamie managed to duck for the second punch and tried to tackle Eric to the ground, however the man was too strong for him. Eric pushed Jamie away, causing him to stumble back. Eric advanced on Jamie, and he wasn't in position to protect his face and Eric punched him in the face. Jamie felt the shooting pain on his cheek and could see Eric was going to punch him again. This time Jamie ducked again and kicked Eric hard in the right knee which made Eric lose his balance. Using that to his advantage he managed to punch Eric in the face, and he froze. "Shit Eric, I'm so sorry." Eric looked at surprised and started to laugh. "Never thought you had it in you." He laughed again. "I have trained you well." Jamie smiled weakly at Eric. He had heard enough rumours to know that Eric was quite ruthless and was expecting Eric to take his revenge. "You are doing well, however in a real fight you wouldn't stop, and you would keep going until your opponent is knocked out."

"Again." Eric replied. They both got back into the fighting stances. "This time I won't go easy on you." It was only a threat, he knew he could beat Jamie badly, he wasn't a leader for nothing. They started again and Eric made sure Jamie didn't get a shot in this time, however Jamie was blocking some of his shots. Jamie's stance was weakening, and Eric tackled Jamie to the floor straddling him and punched him on the other side of the face. "This is where I would continue to punch you until you were out cold. In an instance like this you might have to fight dirty." He replied.

Jamie was dead still and quiet, hoping Eric wouldn't notice how his body was reacting to the older man on top of him. His breath was hitched in his throat, and he was blushing and cursing his body for betraying him. Eric raised his eyebrows at Jamie. "Do you like me being on top?" Eric purred at him. Jamie's face went bright red, embarrassed. 'Way to go, now Eric won't train you and you're fucked.' Jamie thought to himself. Eric adjusted himself to make himself more comfortable. It had been a while since Eric had got off, being too busy with leader business and training Jamie. 'This could be a bit of fun.' Eric thought to himself. "Forget how to speak?" Eric smirked at him, enjoying Jamie's embarrassment. Jamie looked at Eric's eyes, his eyes nearly black where his pupils had enlarged. "Yes." Was he all could manage. Eric moved himself lower so that Jamie could feel his erection and know that the feeling was mutual. Eric didn't know what overtook him and would later put it on not getting laid in a while, and kissed Jamie. Jamie froze, not sure how to react when Eric pushed his erection against Jamie's enjoying seeing the man react. Eric continued his tirade of pushing his erection against Jamie. Eric was usually not one for foreplay and liked to get down to business until he got off, however he was enjoying teasing Jamie.

"Jamie, remember to breath." Eric said huskily. Jamie stared at Eric; he never had an encounter with someone else before like this. Eric was sure Jamie was still a virgin as the faction transferred from wasn't known for their affection. Eric tried his luck and kissed Jamie again, this time Jamie reacting, which was enough for Eric to get Jamie to open his mouth and they began to kiss. All the while both men were grinding against each other, and Jamie had moaned into Eric's mouth. If Jamie wasn't a virgin, Eric would have taken him then and there. Feeling brave Jamie put his arms on Eric's back while they continued to kiss, and Eric could feel Jamie trembling underneath him. Eric pulled away from the kiss, watching the other man's face "Are you about to cum?" His voice full of pleasure. Jamie couldn't speak and just nodded. With that Eric increased the speed and watched Jamie as he let out a moan it was enough for Eric to finish on top of him.

They took a minute to catch their breaths and Eric stood up first, helping Jamie up. "You win all your fights and I promise you, there'll be more where that came from." Jamie smiled. "Deal." "Go get cleaned up, have some breakfast and I'll see you at training." Eric winked at him. Jamie left soon after too afraid to even try and kiss Eric again. He knew of Eric's reputation from the stories he heard from his friends. Jamie was still in shock with what happened and really hoped Eric kept to his side of the deal. He made his way to the dorms, and they were still asleep. A lot would wake up in about ten minutes, so Jamie took advantage of taking a shower and hiding his cum stained shorts for him to wash later that evening. He still couldn't believe he had his first kiss and was excited about it.

After Jamie had left, Eric had made sure there was no mess left and smiled to himself. The encounter had been pleasantly unexpected, and it had been a while that Eric had gotten off on foreplay alone, the last time was with a girl when he was in Erudite. The way Jamie looked while moaning and those striking blue eyes was enough to turn Eric on again. He sighed and walked back to his apartment to clean up and just knew he wouldn't be able to stay away from Jamie.
