Notes: The more I study, the more I write crack.
The first day Kahn returns to regular training, Schweini and Poldi decide to welcome him back.
They break into his locker, place a signed card within and rig the door to spring open with extra force.
Innocently, they head off for training.
After training, they observe Kahn as he walks into the dressing room and opens his locker.
A yell of pain is heard as the door hits Kahn’s forehead. Peering in, Kahn spots a white card.
“Welcome back, captain! From: Schweini-and-Poldi.”
The card doesn’t soothe Kahn, who turns around in search of the culprits. Schweini grabs Poldi’s hand.
“Run.”

Notes: Inspired after having studied too much physics.
“Imagine if a football could feel pain.”
“…what?”
“Wouldn’t it scream? Think of the large impulsive force acting upon it whenever someone kicks it.”
“Has the Schweini I know been replaced with an intellectual person?”
“Shut up, Poldi. Think about it. The change of momentum occurs within a miniscule time frame and the velocity is enormous. Especially during free kicks or penalty kicks.”
“Who’re you and what have you done with Bastian Schweinsteiger?”
“I’m Bastian Schweinsteiger, the genius who was forced to help his nephew with his physics homework.”
“…”
“Those equations were horrible. I’m so glad I’m a footballer.”

Notes: Inspired after having studied too much physics. Related to ‘Impulsive Force’ but stands alone.
“Poldi, did you know that the impulsive force acting on a football can be calculated?”
“How?”
“Look at this experiment plan.”
“You actually understand it?”
“Naturally.”
“This is painful. My best friend is becoming an intellectual person. And here I thought his brain held nothing but wool.”
“Hey! I take that as an insult. Besides, a footballer has to know some physics. The speed needed to kick a ball so that it spins, that’s Bernoulli’s principle. And to-”
“Why don’t you ask the coach to teach us physics during our next training session?”
“I might.”
“I disclaim all responsibility."
Title: K-und-K-Sturm

Prompt: Pain
Characters: Miroslav Klose and Ivan Klasnić.
Rating: G
Notes: The title is a phrase coined by Bremen supporters. It refers to the partnership of two strikers - Miroslav Klose and Ivan Klasnić. Literally, it means ‘K-and-K Storm.’ I hope I wrote this right.
The return to his former home ground evokes a myriad of emotions.
Relief that Clemens and Per have forgiven him for transferring to Bayern. Sorrow at Torsten’s pointed civility. Pain when he hears himself being booed as he steps onto the pitch.
Moving to Bayern was the right choice, but there are several things unique to Bremen that he will never experience again.
He catches sight of a familiar face in the crowd. With a strange look in his eyes, Ivan Klasnić watches him.
Then, the pain comes full force as he realizes that the “K-und-K-Sturm” will never appear again.

Klasnic' wikipedia article Finally, after six long months, he can train properly without feeling pain course through his body. The kidney received from his father is working well.
It feels strange, though, practicing set plays without Miroslav. He remembers that phone call.
“Miroslav?”
“I’m sorry, Ivan. I’m transferring to Bayern.”
He felt cold all of a sudden, goodness knows why.
“When?”
“It’ll be official tomorrow.”
“I see. All the best.”
“Ivan... I’m sorry.”
“It’s alright. I understand.”
“Get well soon. Goodbye.”
He ended the call, chafing at the transiency of football.
The more he trains, the more he adjusts to playing without Miroslav.
