Hawk X Reader SMUT
Warnings: Smut, just absolute SMUT!
A Burning Passion 4
Tumblr media Tumblr media
  "I'm tired of you being so defensive over everything" You huff. Hawks face turns stone cold as he scoffs.
  "Well if that's how you feel then this-" he points to you and him "is over" he spits as he harshly hands you his hoodie.
  That was definitely not what you wanted, your heart tells you to go after him but your feet keep you planted where you are.
  Turns out he was the one who got you after all.
-
  Hawk hadn't spoken to you since then. He wouldn't even glance at you in the halls, and even if he did he would throw snarky comments your way. You showed defeat, not daring to utter another word to him. In fear you'd only push him away more.
  Every time you closed your eyes all you could see was him, as you ran the tips of your fingers against your lips gazing at the mirror in the schools bathroom, you felt his lips on yours. Your fingers moved to your arm to which you could only feel how he was touching you that night.
  Your eyes started to water as your heart ached, why hadn't you gone after him that night? He was so sweet and caring until you let your mind get the best of you.
  You still had his hoodie from the last encounter. It smelt like him, and over time as it faded you grew more needing of him. Not just the sex and the thrill of being caught, but him.
  You were snapped back into reality when the bathroom door snapped open, your hands automatically come to wipe away the tears threatening to fall from your eyes.
  As the stall door slammed shut you looked back into the mirror and let out a deep sigh, touching up your concealer to cover the puffiness under your eyes.
  The bell rang throughout the school house, signaling for lunch. Your heart started to race because of what you were about to do. You couldn't hold back anymore, all the cold shoulders and hateful glares Hawk sent your way ate you up.
  You rushed out of the bathroom and into the lunch room, automatically spotting Hawk and his friends as they were the loudest group.
  Hawk has his leg propped up onto the chair beside him, head to the side laughing because of something his friends had said. You were so close to backing out, but your legs had other plans as you neared his table.
Their laughter dies as Mitch slaps Hawk on the shoulder signaling your way, you now stood just a few feet away from him as he turned to look at who Mitch was pointing to. His smile automatically fades as he stands up quickly, his nostrils flare up and his jaw clenches.
"What do you want, princess?" He sneers with such venom as he closes the gap in between you two, he glares down at you while you look up at him with nervous eyes.
"I wanna talk about us" Your voice comes out weak and shaky.
"Us? There is no us Y/n" Hawks expression hardens at the word.
"You...you don't mean that..." You protest, your heart shatters as your legs grow weak.
"Oh I mean it, you of all people know I keep my word princess" he laughs angrily.
Your expression hardens, matching his anger. You needed him so bad that your emotions got the best of you, your anger started taking over, you couldn't take his constant switching up moments. Yes you had messed up, but so had he and right now he was acting entitled, he isn't the only one who gets to be angry.
You start to laugh, matching his anger as tears start to fall down your face. Though Hawk found you extremely hot in this moment, he couldn't help but feel guilty.
"Okay have it your way, but if you think we hated each other before then your in for a rude awakening...-" You lift your head up as you stand on your tippy toes, faces side by side and before you could even stop yourself. You whisper "-lip" into his ear.
You back away from his face, his eyes softened as he looked around subconsciously, his hand come up to cover his mouth before he could stop it. You felt bad, but that didn't stop a smirk from falling onto your lips.
It wasn't until you walked away and was out of his view when you pressed your hands against your head, squeezing your eyes shut "what the fuck did I just do..."
-
After that day you stood true to your word, you would flip him off in the hallways, laugh at him when he would trip up, constantly calling him lip or loser- even though you knew it hurt him and your heart twisted in pain every time you put him down you couldn't stop.
-
The coach blows the whistle, telling us to get back in place. You take your place in front of the soccer ball and on the sound of the whistle you start kicking the ball to the goal until someone's foot comes under yours, stealing the ball and causing you to trip.
"Thanks princess" Hawk mocks you with his laugh.
You glare at him as he laughs over his shoulder, but nonetheless you run up until your beside him, shoulder to shoulder you push him as hard as you can watching as he falls on his side.
You hear the sound of the whistle go off "let's take it easy on the physical contact!" The coach yells as it was your turn to mock Hawk.
You bend down to Hawks level "good job loser" you laugh as you start back running with the ball.
He's pissed. He stands up while the guy in front of him runs like a sloth, he's so pissed off he pushes the innocent guy harshly and watches as he hits the ground.
Another whistle goes off "hey!" The coach warns as you kick the ball into the goal, winning for your team.
You go for a water break as the coach yells for another round, you expect Hawk to come up to you but instead he yanks the red team shirt off and makes his way back into the school, to which you assume would be the locker rooms.
You couldn't help yourself so you went after him, just before the door to the boys locker room closes you wrap your fingers around the handle. Careful not to make too much noise you walk in, closing the door and locking it.
Hawk went to one of the sinks, placing both of his hands on either side. He looks in the mirror, sweat dripping from his face, his jaw clinched, nostrils flared and his knuckles turning white from how hard he was gripping the sink.
"Didn't know i got to you that much lip" You smirked, keeping up your act.
You watch as his eyes move from his face to yours through the mirror, he slams one of his hands against the sink and rushes over to you. His body flush against yours as he harshly pushes you up against the hard wood door. His right hand slams on the door just above your head.
Your skins on fire just from the small contact, the heat from his body dragging onto yours as your sweaty bodies collided. Your breathing picks up, eyes immediately drifting to his lips but quickly back to his eyes before he noticed.
"Who do you think you are princess?" Hawks gaze turns harsh as the veins and mussels show against his arms.
You don't give him a response at first, until you've finally had enough. You harshly push his body off of yours, "no. Don't you dare Hawk! I know it was wrong of me to act like a bitch that night, but you don't get to treat me the way you did and not expect me to do the same! I fucking hate you for that!" You yell.
  "Yeah? You hate me?" Hawk says almost seductively. He walks back up to you, hand on your waist "show me how much you hate me princess..." He starts breathing unevenly as you look up at him.
  You practically throw yourself on him, exactly like you did that night. But this time, you know you won't regret it. You grab Hawks face, eyes staring into each others while he tightens his grip on your thighs. Your legs wrap around his waist in a death grip, you could already feel how hard he was for you.
  You smashed your lips onto his, moaning as he uses one of his hands to hold the back of your head as he kisses you like he's in love with you.
  Hawk try's to carry you to the bench but instead he ends up slamming your back into the lockers, creating a loud noise as you whimper and arch your back into his.
  Your eyes widen and you pull away from him, "wait we're at school Hawk" you say as you try to get down from his hold.
  "Oh no. You wanted this, you're gonna take it" He groans, he pushes his crotch into yours to keep you steady as he grabs the top of your gym shirt, ripping it in half exposing your bra covered tits.
  "What the fuck Hawk?!" You push his shoulder.
  "Shut up princess" He rolls his eyes as he places his lips on yours while his hands wander to your chest, feeling you up.
  He pulls away from the kiss only to actually carry you over to one of the very thin wood benches and places you on it so everything but your ass is against it.
  Hawk yanks his shirt off before he spreads your legs farther so he can bend down to your face. He lightly kisses your lips, trailing the small butterfly kisses all the way down while holding eye contact as you moan.
  He yanks your shorts and panties down in one swift motion, exposing your bare pussy to him all over again. He wastes no time before pulling his own down, his hard cock dripping with pre-cum.
  He makes you watch as he strokes his cock with his hand, his head falls back as his mouth falls open "y/n" he moans out.
  "Fuck. Please Hawk...." You beg of him.
  He looks at you, still stroking his cock but at a faster pace "be patient princess" he whimpers as his cock starts leaking with more beads of pre-cum.
  You practically whine until he lightly slaps his cock on your clit, the slightest touch making you a whore for him.
  Your dripping pussy begging to be fucked by him, you roll your eyes at the teasing "c'mon stop being a loser and just fuck me already" you say, resorting to the worse possible comment. It worked.
  Hawks eyes turn a darker shade as his jaw clenches, forcefully he stuffs his cock into your soaked pussy. It takes you by surprise as you let a small squeal fall out by accident.
  His cock hits all the right places as he stretches you out, "can a loser fuck you like this?" He asks condescendingly as he uses both of his hands to yank your bra down, your perky tits bouncing with each harsh thrust.
  You don't say anything, it feels so good it leaves you speechless. Your hands go behind your head voluntarily to steady yourself, grabbing onto the sides of the bench. Your hair goes everywhere as your bodies slip together easily because of how sweaty you both were before.
  There was something so thrilling about the possibility of getting caught which only made you more wet, gushing around Hawks cock as your pussy makes lewd sounds.
You found yourself gazing up at him, he looked so pretty even in such a state. As his cock continues to fill you up in every way possible, you found yourself questioning why you even 'hated' him to begin with.
Maybe it was because he was an arrogant asshole sometimes, or because he would bully innocent people, or maybe just maybe it was because you were in love with him.
Your eyes meet Hawks again and in that moment you wanted to reveal all your deepest secrets to him. You wanted to tell him how much you were in love with him. You could barely suppress your moans until loud banging erupted from the other side of the locked door.
Hawk's hips stilled, cock fully stuffed inside of you. You're eyes widened as you covered your mouth and Hawk snapped his gaze over to the door. You both watch as the door knob starts to jiggle.
He pulls you up keeping his cock inside of you as he rushes to one of the showers, turning the hot water on and closing the thin curtain behind you both, once again slamming you up against the wall.
You're both completely soaked, you expect him to pull out of you as keys start to jiggle from behind the door but instead he looks you straight in the eyes "think you can be quite for me princess?" Hawk whispers, tightly wrapping his hand against your mouth as he smirks, not allowing you to answer him.
The next thing you know he's using his other hand that's holding you up to help move your hips with his, fucking you perfectly as your hips start moving with his hand movements.
Your eyes roll back into your head as the coach lets in the rest of the boys. You pray your underwear are somewhere out of sight as you're being fucked in the shower.
"Hawk is that you?" A voice calls out and you can barley comprehend what's going on, all you feel is pleasure from his cock.
"Yeah!" he yells over the shower, his breathing staggering as his head leans against yours.
You look so beautiful like this, his hand wrapped around your pretty mouth as you're taking his cock. He feels his high near, letting out more noises than intended.
The hot water from the shower has hawks hair completely down, crowned around his face. You've never seen him like this, your pussy clenches at the sight, your nails dig down his back, surely leaving marks.
He brings his mouth to your ear, hand tightening on your mouth "cum for me princess" he whimpers. That's it for you as your eyes roll in the back of your head, your cum leaking around his dick, tightening up around him.
Hawk clenches his jaw as he tries to stay quiet, fucking you with no mercy while he tries to make less noise as possible. Your hands move to his hair, pulling it as you feel his hot cum fill you up to the brim.
His movements still as he removes his hand from your mouth, letting it go to your other thigh to hold you upright. Hawk makes eye contact with you, he can't help himself from pressing his lips up against yours.
He's so gentle with you, he's slightly shaking from his orgasm as are you. He pulls away from your lips, listening as he hears the last person leave the locker room. You whimper as he falls out of you, gently placing you back on your feet.
He turns off the shower while you flip your bra back to its place, though it sticks to you like glue. Hawk pulls the thin curtain back in search for a towel. He grabs the nearest one and places it around you, grabbing one for himself.
You felt exhausted.
But the question is; What happens now?

What about Reader is an actress on ck and is always asked if she's dating her costars but she always avoids the question. But she's actually poly with Jacob and Xolo?
Tumblr media
“So, Reader, I have a more personal question to ask.” Reader laughed as the YouTube reporter grinned at her. Sitting across from each other in the small white-lit room. The atmosphere slowly started to shift the longer the interview went on.
“Well I would hope you have something good for me.”She said while getting comfortable in her seat. The fluffy couch the studio has is perfect. Settling down into the nice cushions Reader looks back to the guy named Nick who was interviewing her. He seemed like a nice guy and all but at the end of the day, he was still a reporter. Most of the questions that were asked so far were pretty tame.
But now after that brief pause, she knew something big was coming.
It did not sound like it was going to be a fun question.
He gave a small grin saying “So I know for a fact that you have not made a statement about your dating life since staring in Cobra Kai.” he leaned back in his chair.
“Oh well, I guess. My dating life has never been that interesting and I guess I just wanted to keep it a little more private?” she nervously giggled. Maybe she should have suspected a question like this at some point. It was only a matter of time before the topic came up. People were always interested in famous people's dating lives. Thinking back on it, he was completely right. She had never made even the slightest remark about her dating life in a while.
The urge to continue keeping that information to herself was high.
“Well can't you give us a little something?” he wiggled his brows at her. Reader nervously laughed.
“Well I am in a very happy relationship at the moment. That's all I am going to say about it at the moment.” a smile crossed her face. Thinking about her handsome boyfriends made her feel all warm inside. Both of whom were actually sitting in other rooms being interviewed.
The guy raises a brow before making an awkward cough. Clearly a little annoyed at the fact she wasn't giving him what he wanted. A smirk started to form on his lips as he leaned in a bit. Playing with some cards in his hands, most likely with different questions he had planned to ask throughout the talk.
“So you can't confirm any of the rumors going around that you might be dating one of your costars from the Cobra Kai set? That seems to be a hot topic amongst your fans.” 
“Oh well I mean- I can see why. Most of the cast is really close. We all hang out a lot and most of us hang out separately a lot too. I can't blame any of our fans for speculating things.” she gave a small smile to the camera.
“So does that mean-”
“Nick come on now lets talk about something else.” Reader deflected Nick’s question once again.
The rest of the interview was spent awkwardly trying to get around that one question.
After two hours of back and forth the interview was over for the day. Reader was free to leave and she was definitely happy about it. It was so draining to continuously be asked stupid questions over and over again in one setting. She huffed little while walking out of the large building. She only started to feel better when she noticed who was next to her car. Leaning against her car talking to each other was Jacob and Xolo. With a big smile she jogged over to them.
As soon as she got to them Xolo chimed in “So how did your interview go?” Jacob snorted for some strange reason. Reader rolled her eyes “ Irritating, I got this guy Nick who was so pushy. Did you guys have someone who just wouldn’t stop with the-“ she was interrupted by Jacob saying “Dating questions? Yeah the chick I got wouldn’t stop trying to say shit. Can you believe she really tried to insinuate that I could be dating…Mary of all people??” He raised a brow. With a goofy grin Xolo actually bent over a little and started to laugh, Reader doing the same.
“Mary? Really?”
“Dude that hilarious, you hardly even hang out with Mary these days.”
“I know right?!?” He threw his hands up in a playful manner.
Xolo finally got back to his senses as he straightened back up. With a small cough he mentions “So who did they try to say you were with?” Reader got a little flustered “Actually he didn’t try to pin anyone down. He just kept pushing that it was someone from the Cobra Kai set. Which I mean is kinda the only set I could be really dating someone from at the moment because it’s the only series I have been filing on for a while now-“ she yelps as two sets of hands pull her in. Looking around quickly she finds no one but them in the parking lot. The place completely empty, no cameras in sight. Even the security cameras on the building are pointing away from them.
It’s the perfect angle to not get their little moment caught.
A smile blooms over Readers lips.
She feels Xolo’s lips on her neck which has her giggling. Jacob’s hands gently grip at her fluffy hips and belly. She can feel his soft breath on her cheek as he starts to nibble on her jaw. It’s so nice, just being able to have a moment to themselves. They can’t do this in public.
The urge as celebrities to keep this special little romance between the three of the secret.
Something no one else knows about. Something that only they can enjoy without worry. It was never about the three of them being together. Coming out as a poly couple didn’t scare them at all. It was being caught in a relationship period that they didn’t like. They had been enjoying each others company for months now with no problems. So far the relationship had been wonderful and the idea of people finding out and possibly trying to ruin it scared them a little.
No one needed to know that Reader Jacob and Xolo were in a loving and happy relationship together.
“So we meet up at Jacob’s tonight for dinner then?”
“Hell yeah babe.”
“Oh I can cook that dish you guys like this time.”
Jacob and Reader grinned while they started to kiss all over Xolo’s face.
Those reporters could think what they wanted.
Too bad they were only half right on who Reader was actually dating on the Cobra Kai set.

Out of your system // Eli "Hawk" Moskowitz x Reader
Summary: You are in a completely different dojo and face Cobra Kai, including Hawk and Tory, at a tourney. The tension between you and Hawk is too strong from the beginning, and well, you just need to get it out of your system. But there is something else...
Pairing: Eli "Hawk" Moskowitz x Reader
Warnings: Language, fighting, wild make-out session
A/N: This is my first Cobra Kai Story :) Hope you enjoy! (The way Hawk would look at you!)
Tumblr media
Exuberant and confident, the Cobra Kai students stand in front of the arena. As always, they know, or think they know, that they will bring home the trophy again this year.
"Hey guys, have you heard about that other dojo?" blurts Mitch and the others look at him.
"What dojo? What the hell are you talking about?" asks Hawk, raising an eyebrow. His look is the same as always. Arrogant and cocky.
"I heard about a dojo competing today, and supposedly they have a real machine," Mitch continues.
At this moment, a car pulls up. It is a matte black Audi RS3 Sportback, and a silver panther is on the side. The students of Cobra Kai look up in anticipation.
"You got to be shitting me...," Hawk breathes as he sees the sticker of a dojo on the back window.
Silver Panther Dojo
Hawk's mouth drops open as he spots you getting off. For a moment, he stares at you, but then you turn around and brush a strand of hair behind your ear. He's rarely seen a prettier girl than you.
Then you look at Hawk, who briefly averts his eyes, but then he looks at you again. You meet his gaze and then raise an eyebrow before snorting in amusement and disappearing inside the arena.
"What the hell was that?" asks Tory after a while, looking at Hawk.
"What the fuck are you talking about?"
"You - dumbass," she says, then looks at the entrance. "And her. You just undressed her with your eyes."
"No, I didn't," Hawk waves off.
"Oh, yes, you did," Tory teases him further, but Hawk has had enough. He stands very close in front of Tory and looks at her menacingly.
"I fucking did not!"
Just as Tory is about to say something else, Kreese steps behind her. "Come on! In you go!"
As they change clothes and wait to warm up, Hawk spots you again. You're standing a few feet from him, stretching. Hawk's eyes roam over your perfect body. You're so flexible, and those curves...
"Snap out of it, will you! I'm not gonna lose that trophy 'cause you give our competition the fuck-eyes."
Annoyed, Hawk turns to Tory. "Just shut the fuck up, Tory, okay. I'm not giving her the fuck-eyes. And I will prove it to you."
Hawk stands behind you and lets his gaze roam over your backside once more. He waves Mitch, Edwin, and a few others over, then walks toward you. Tory follows them as well, eager to see what he does now.
At that moment, you stand up straight, grab your towel, and then turn around. You didn't expect to almost run into Hawk like that. You take another step backward, but Hawk steps in front of you again.
The tension between you is charged, and you can almost hear it crackle.
"Can I help you?" you ask, perkily raising an eyebrow.
Hawk's typical smug smile appears on his face. "You wanna help us, princess? If anything else, we are gonna help you."
You snort. "Oh yeah?" You now take a step closer to Hawk and whisper against his lips. "Guess what, Mohawk. I don't need your help."
You're about to push past him when Hawk grabs you by the arm. "You're pretty cheeky. You know that?" he asks, and your lips are only inches apart. "Just know we won't go easy on you just because you're a girl. We will take you down."
You yank your arm away from Hawk. "Oh, I'd like to see you try."
As you stomp away, Hawk watches you go. As you disappear around the corner, he turns to Tory to show her he is right, but Tory just laughs.
"Wow, you serious? The fucking tension between you two makes me sick."
Annoyed, Hawk turns away from Tory. He's not attracted to you after all. The only one who had his attention until now was Moon, but now... His gaze briefly wanders to the bench in the back, where he can see you talking to your sensei. At that moment, you look up and give Hawk a dirty look.
Then it finally starts. The first few fights begin, and Hawk watches anxiously. He wants to know what's coming up, after all.
"Next up, Mitchell Sanders against Y/N Y/L/N," the speaker calls out, and Mitch stands next to Hawk.
"A girl. Should be an easy one," he says, and Hawk punches in at him. But then the two see who is getting ready. It's you. Hawk laughs and then comes over to you.
"Now let's see what you are made of, princess," he says, and you look up at him.
"With pleasure!" she pushes Hawk aside and then joins Mitch on the mat.
"Okay, bow to each other," the referee calls, and you bow to your opponent, who does the same. You quickly realize he's from the same dojo as the pompous guy with the mohawk. "Good, now bow to me," the ref continues.
Then the fight begins. Hawk smugly stands next to the mat and watches you, but the smirk quickly disappears from his face as he watches you fight. You are just incredible. Slowly he lowers his arms, and his mouth opens. It doesn't take long, and Mitch is on his back.
"One Point!" says the ref, pointing at you.
"Wow, your girlfriend is really good," Tory says, standing next to Hawk.
"She's not my fucking girlfriend." Furious, Hawk stomps away.
The following fights are not unexpected. Hawk defeats his opponents, Tory defeats hers, and you defeat yours. The board indicates that the next fight is between Tory and you.
"Next up: Tory Nichols from Cobra Kai and Y/N Y/L/N from Silver Panther."
You and Tory face each other. You bow and then take your fighting positions.
"You know what a silver panther is, right?" Tory asks you, and you squeeze your eyes together. You've watched her before and know she's trying to intimidate her opponents. However, you don't respond. "Silver Panthers are the old ones. Slow and without reaction."
"Why don't you just shut up, huh? More fighting, less talking," you say, clenching your fists.
When the ref gives the okay, you both fire away and start punching each other. Your talents are incredibly even; one by one, you score until the score is 2-2.
As you get ready to face each other for the third and final time, you see the guy with the mohawk standing behind Tory, watching you. Tory follows your gaze and then grins at you.
"No worries. He will fuck you either way. Even if you lose."
You frown, and your attention returns to Tory. Then the ref gives the go-ahead, and you start punching her. Over and over, you kick at her, then hit her again with your fists so she can only defend herself and nothing else.
Again you face each other. Then you do a pike roll, put your legs around her middle, and roll again, so she slams on the mat. Quickly you sit on her and give her the last blow. In the corner of your eye, you see the ref's flag go up.
"One Point." He takes your hand and raises it. "Winner."
You send a smug smile toward Mohawk before kneeling to Tory. "You know... Now that I won, maybe I will fuck him," you say, winking at her.
"The big finale is done. We start in fifteen minutes. Hawk against Y/N Y/L/N. Let's see who will be the new All Valley Champion."
"That bitch!" grumbles Tory as she sits on the floor next to Hawk.
"Oh, now you don't like her that much. What?" Hawk teases her.
"Shut up, Hawk! You still have to face her. Oh, and btws, I think she wants to fuck you, too."
Hawk's head shoots up, and he looks at Tory. "What the fuck are you talking about now?"
Tory stands up and walks toward Hawk. "You eye-fucked her since she got here, and the tension between you is far from enduring. That's why I told her that you would fuck her even if she loses. When that bitch won, she said she's probably gonna fuck you anyway now."
Hawk and Tory look over at you, and you feel their eyes on you, which is why you look up. Your gaze meets Hawk's, and you both stare at each other for a moment.
When the fight finally starts, you face Hawk and bow. He does so as well, and his gaze remains on your eyes.
"Fighting positions!"
You take your position and raise your hands. When the ref gives the go, you go right at it. You kick at Hawk, but he blocks all your punches.
As you lunge again, he grabs your leg and pulls you closer to him so that your faces are once again inches apart.
"So, how about that fuck later?" he whispers to you, and you're totally thrown off your game, which is why he can throw you onto your back easily.
"One Point."
Hawk reaches out to help you up, but you swat it away and resume your fighting stance.
"That was dirty," you hiss at him, and he winks.
"Not as dirty, what I will do to you later."
"Go!"
The two of you start fighting each other again, and it continues with numerous dirty and lewd remarks until it's 2-2 again.
After that, neither of you manages to score another point. Both of you are always close, but then the other can block again. After 3 minutes of fighting, the ref interrupts.
"Okay, stop! We're going to take a 15-minute break," he calls, and you take a step back. You take a deep breath and then walk quickly to the dressing room.
Your ego is bruised that you let yourself be distracted by such cheap talk in the first place, and secondly, that this stupid fight still isn't over.
With your eyes closed, you stand next to the bench and rub your knuckles, which are cracked from all the attacks. Then you close your eyes and take a deep breath.
"So, what do you say?" you suddenly hear a whisper by your ear, which makes you wince. Of course, you immediately know who it is.
You feel his chest against your back and his hand suddenly resting on your hip. All your muscles tense, and you turn your head in his direction. The hairs on the back of your neck stand up, and again you feel the tension between you.
His hand moves from your hip over your stomach. He starts kissing your neck, and you take a deep breath.
"Is that a yes?" he asks softly, and the vibration of his voice sends goosebumps down your body again.
Then you turn and look into his blue eyes. With the smug smile still on his lips, he looks at you.
"You really think it's that easy?" you whisper after a while.
He puts his hands on your hips again and pulls you closer to him. "I could do more convincing if you want to," he says, kissing your neck again before moving his mouth further down.
He pushes your gi aside a little, giving him more access.
"I don't know if this a good idea," you say, panting, and put your arms around him.
Hawk gives you a gentle squeeze and then looks you in the eye. "I'm not gonna say it is, but..." he starts and then kisses you passionately. His tongue runs over your bottom lip, and you open your mouth to let him in.
Suddenly Hawk's hands were all over your body.
"Jesus, you are so fucking hot!" gasps Hawk against your lips, and you can't help but smirk.
He opens your gi and slides the jacket over your shoulders. His hands are quickly back on your body, exploring your skin. Then his hands move down to your ass, and he grabs it before lifting you so you can wrap your legs around his middle.
Hawk takes a few steps backward and then sits on the bench with you on his lap. Suddenly, you feel his fingers on your waistband and stop him.
"Wait... I won't - I won't go any further, understood," you say, biting your lips. You avert your eyes from Hawk and look down at yourself.
"Hey," he says more gently than you ever expected him to. "It's okay... We don't-" he says, but then a loud tone sounds, and you both look up. "Shit, the fight," he says and looks at you.
You smirk and then get off his lap before putting your gi jacket back on. You then make your way out of the locker room, but just before you reach the door, Hawk grabs you by your wrist and then pushes you against the wall.
"This isn't finished, sweetheart," he whispers before placing his lips on yours and kissing you.
When he lets go of you, you smile softly at him. "I guess that was something that we needed to get out of our system."
"Guess so."
Together, you walk back out to finish your fight.
"All right, let's finish this," the ref says before you bow to each other again, then take your fighting positions.
You wink almost imperceptibly at Hawk as the ref gives the go-ahead for the final round.
30 seconds later, you're lying on your back on the mat with Hawk bent over you. Your chest rises and falls quickly, and you look him in the eye.
"Looks like you didn't hold back this time, huh?" you ask, and Hawk winks again.
"Oh, just wait for the next time; I get you without this Gi," he whispers and then gets off you.
He helps you to your feet, and his friends are already running towards him to celebrate with him for the win. You smile at the sight but then turn away and go to your sensei and friends.
A little later, you are approached again as you stand outside by your car, just loading your bag.
"I meant it."
You turn around, and Hawk is standing in front of you. "What do you mean?"
"That I wanna see you again," Hawk says, and you step closer to him.
"Oh, so that's what that meant," you say with a smile, and he nods with a shoulder shrug.
You walk up to him, take his cell phone out of his hand, and put in your number. Then you open your car and get in. Before you close the door, however, you look again at Hawk.
"I really enjoyed your company too, Eli."
Then you get in and drive away. Hawk looks after you and, at that moment, realizes that you called him Eli. The question, however, was how you knew his real name.

After watching all of Cobra Kai, I think we all need to make a petition for Jacob Bertrand to play more sad boy and mean boy roles! He just does such a good fucking job; it scratches an itch in my brain so well.

THE NEW DO:
Eli had walked you home after you’d calmed down. 
He’d asked you if you wanted to stay over, that he didn’t mind letting you take his bed and he’d take the couch – that he was sure his mother wouldn’t mind either and had been asking about you anyways. But you declined. You didn’t want to impose and still, despite all but sobbing on him, you didn’t know if spending the night at Eli’s was the best idea.
So, instead, you’d both compromised and he walked you home.
An awkward goodbye that consisted of silence, warm cheeks and a hug, before Eli turned to walk off; not without inviting you out with him and the rest of Miyagi-Do/Eagle Fang out tomorrow. Apparently, they were all going to the drive-in movie tomorrow and Eli remembered hearing Sam say she’d text you about it, but wanted to ask you out just in case. The thought had made your heart flutter and a warmth to flood you – it’d taken you a moment or two to find your words and nod.
I’ll pick you up tomorrow, then.
That’s what he said before leaving, a simple wave your way and assurance he’d see you tomorrow.
The butterflies that had fluttered in your stomach were undeniable, and you’d almost completely forgotten about your mom until you opened the front door to find her sitting on the couch, before promptly jumping to a stand when she heard you come in. One look at her face and the worry was plain, her eyes were puffy and red and you couldn’t help the small bit of guilt you felt realizing she’d been crying; though you’re sure you looked much the same.
“You weren’t answering your texts,” she breathes, shoulders falling as if a weight had fallen off of her. “You can’t just not answer your texts.”
Hugging the sweater Eli had given you (and the one he refused to let you give back), you glance down at your feet. “I’m sorry,” you whisper, “I wasn’t thinking.”
Your mother sighs, “look, Y/N, you have every reason to be upset and I’m not gonna ask you to forgive me. You don’t have to talk to me. Just, please, don’t run out of me like that again. I was so worried.”
Nodding, you bite your lip. “Okay,” you concede, not knowing what else to say. Really, you didn’t want to say anything else. “I won’t. I promise.”
“Now, get to bed,” she says, stepping back as you finally raise your head to look at her. “It’s late.”
You watch as she hastily brushes back strands of hair, the messy bun on top of her head half-hazardly falling out of its elastic. She looks tired, bags under eyes and stressed, and part of you feels guilty – for reacting the way you had, for not listening to her, for just running out and not even giving her the chance to explain. But when your lips part to say something, anything, you’re still angry and hurt and the fact is you don’t want her to leave more than anything else. 
But she’s still going to.
“Goodnight,” you offer quietly, moving to the stairs.
“Goodnight, honey.”
You leave it at that, silently making your way up the stairs until you make it to your bedroom, letting the door shut softly behind you. Once alone, you stand there for a moment, lips pressed tightly together as you think of your mom, just downstairs, clearly upset and the fact that, by the end of the week, she won’t be there anymore.
You’ll be home alone all again.
Slipping Eli’s hoodie off of your shoulders, you bundle it in your own hands, holding it to your chest as you slump to the ground. Bringing your knees up, you hug yourself, bringing the hoodie up to your nose, you breath in, taking in the familiar scent, and trying to ignore the way your body reacts in response, a small smile despite everything curling onto your lips.
At least there was that.
-
“Robby?”
You reel back at the sight of the boy, the drive-in being the absolute last place you expected to see him – not to mention, you could’ve sworn you just saw him talking to a boy in a Cobra Kai t-shirt. You’d known he’d been staying there, the sensei that had taken over having taken some sort of liking to him and offering him a place to stay but… but you didn’t think he was still staying there.
That, and the fact that he’s still not answered any of your texts and you were starting to think something terrible had happened to him–
Turning at the sound of your voice, Robby’s eyes widen.
“Robby!” His name leaves your lips in a breath of relief, rushing towards him, oblivious to the pair of eyes that follow behind you. “What the h*ll! I’ve been texting you and you haven’t been answering me!” Not even giving him a second to speak, your eyes flicker around, taking the truck behind him and the sight of Tory and Kyler inside. “I thought… Are you?” You can barely finish the words, eyes flickering back to him in disbelief.
It’s all piecing together bit by bit.
“Y/N–”
“You said you weren’t going to join Cobra Kai.”
Avoiding your eyes, Robby huffs; “it’s not what you think.”
Crossing your arms over your chest, you scoff; “it sure looks like it.” Then, shoulders slumping, you take a step towards Robby. “Why haven’t you been answering my texts, Robby? I was worried.”
“Things have gotten complicated,” Robby sighs, “I haven’t had the time to respond.”
“Yeah, complicated because you did exactly what you said you wouldn’t and joined Cobra Kai.”
Eyes narrowing, Robby just shakes his head; “I have it under control.”
In disbelief, you can’t believe what you’re hearing. “Yeah, I’ve heard that before.”
He glares at you, and you have to resist the urge to reel back at just how angry he looks. You haven’t seen him look at you like that since when you first joined Miyagi-Do – funnily enough, that had been when he thought you believed in Cobra Kai.
Now look at him.
“You have no idea what you’re talking about, Y/N. So, don’t act like you do.”
Blinking, your lips part, stunned. Stunned that Robby would actually say that to you. And most of all, hurt because this was starting to sound almost entirely too similar to so many conversations you’ve had before with another boy. And the look in his eyes felt like Deja vu staring back at you, like a slap to the face, when you realize just exactly what’s happening right in front of you.
“Robby–”
“Piece of shit.”
You never get to finish what you’re going to say as the words leave Robby’s lips. He’s stepping around you in the next second, barely giving you another glance and confused, you spin around to see where he’s going only to pause when you realize just exactly who he’s heading towards.
Sh*t.
“You should watch where you’re going, kid.”
“Yeah, same goes for you.”
Quickly making your way over to Robby, you falter in your step as your eyes meet Eli’s. You also notice Bert and Nate behind him, the both of them quickly rushing to stand slightly behind Eli as Robby walks up to him, the other boy who’d been there moving to stand next to Robby instead.
This did not end well.
“Look who it is,” Eli calls, walking up to Robby threateningly.
“Eli,” you plead, his name leaving your lips before you can stop yourself. You rush towards him, pressing a hand to his chest to stop him as you glance back at Robby briefly; “it’s okay. Let’s just go.”
Eli meets your eyes and it almost looks like he’ll listen to you, until;
“You betrayed Miyagi-Do,” Nate spits at him, “traitor.”
Eyes falling shut in frustration, you realize it’s too late to hope for this to end peacefully.
“Oh, there’s a traitor here for sure.”
And there comes Tory.
Glancing over your shoulder, you turn, facing Tory as she makes her way over, eyes set straight on Eli; Kyler and a few other Cobra Kai’s behind her. 
“He’s gonna get what he deserves.”
“I don’t think so,” a new voice speaks up, and your eyes widen when you see Sam, Miguel, Chris and a few others from your class making their way up to the group, obviously standing on Eli’s side. “Not if I have anything to say about it, Princess.”
There’s a moment of tense silence, either side just staring at one another, before Demetri cuts in.
“Hey, guys. Can you believe that they have Mr. Pibb and Dr. Pepper?”
Everyone turns to look at him and as his eyes meet yours, you raise a brow.
The meaning is not lost on him.
“Oh, shit.” He huffs, “not another rumble.”
“Careful, Larusso,” Tory taunts, “your mommy isn’t here to play peacemaker.”
Sam’s eyes narrow; “what’s that supposed to mean?”
“Guys, stop!” Miguel cuts in, voice desperate; “we can’t do this. We’ll beat them on the map.”
Letting a small smile grace your features, you find yourself proud at Miguel’s reluctance for violence – at the very least unsupervised and regulated violence.
You’ll take what you can get.
“You remember what happened last time we fought, right?”
Turning to Robby in disbelief, your lips part.
Why would he–
“Okay,” Miguel nods, playing into the bait. “Meet us at the baseball diamond in thirty minutes. And no weapons.”
So much for his reluctance to violence.
“Yeah, we won’t need them.”
“Yeah.”
Turning when the rest of your group does, you can’t help but let out a sigh.
You just wanted to watch a movie with your friends.
You’re proved wrong however when Miguel says that you won’t be fighting like he expects – he assures you all that you’ll still make your move, but there’s no need for it to get violent. So, slightly puzzled, you sit squished between Sam and Demetri in the back seat of Eli’s car, and watch as Robby, Tory and the rest of Cobra Kai make their way onto the baseball field, eyes peeled for sight of any of you.
Only for the sprinklers to turn on just then, dousing them in water.
“Dude,” Eli laughs, “genius move! We didn’t even have to throw a punch!”
Demetry laughs, reaching forward to nudge Miguel lightly; “my favourite kind of victory.”
Letting out a laugh, you can’t help but agree.
-
Johnny isn’t quite as impressed with Miguel as you are.
“You just poked the bear,” Johnny huffs at his student. “What do you think’s gonna happen?”
Confused at his response, you turn to look at Demetri.
“Think they’re just gonna leave well enough alone?”
Mr. Larusso walks in just then; “from everything I heard, it sounds to me like Miguel practiced restraint.” He offers, coming to Miguel’s defense. “Found a way to get out of a bad situation without anyone getting hurt. What did you want him to do, get in a drive-in switchblade fight?”
Honestly, you can’t help but agree.
However, as Mr. Larusso turns to Miguel, setting his hand on his shoulder, smiling and proceeds to compliment Miguel, it isn’t hard to see the way Johnny’s eyes narrow.
“I’m proud of you,” Mr. Larusso grins. “You’ve taken Miyagi-Do teachings to heart.”
“Okay, Larusso,” Johnny huffs, “we need to have a talk.”
Yup. Just as you figured.
Only, neither of them get to say anything as everyone’s attention falls on the two new men who have just walked into Mr. Larusso’s dojo. One, you instantly recognize as John Kreese, but the man standing next to him is a new face.
Yet, even just one look at him makes you feel instantly nervous.
There’s something off about him.
“Gentlemen,” the new face grins, “it seems we have a few things to discuss.”
With that, you and the rest of the students are quickly ushered inside; both Mr. Larusso and Johnny not wanting any of you to hear what John Kreese and Terry Silver you learned his name was, had to say. Of course, none of you listen as everyone gathers near the sliding doors of Mr. Larusso’s dojo, opening the doors while everyone shoves their head through to try to get a peek at what’s happening.
It’s hard to hear exactly what they’re saying, but one thing you can tell is Mr. Larusso looks madder than you’ve probably ever seen him look.
“Your dad’s pissed,” Miguel whispers to Sam, noticing what you had; “who is that guy?”
Just as confused, Sam shakes her head; “I have no idea.”
“He looks like Highlander,” Bert offers.
“The Highlander,” Nate corrects, “there can be only one.”
“Well, whoever he is,” you speak up, worrying your lip. “I don’t trust him.”
No one responds – but everyone's face is clear; they feel the same.
-
Making your way around the corner, your face brightens at the sight of Moon, offering her a smile and a wave when she does the same. You only briefly meet Yasmine’s gaze along the way, her offering a small, somewhat forced smile that you don’t bother to respond – you were happy for her and Demetri, truly, but that still didn’t erase the years of torment that she had inflicted on you.
And without an apology, you weren’t so willing to forgive.
So, continuing on your way, you hold the textbooks in your arms to your chest, gaze on your feet before you catch sight of purple, and your eyes widen when you realize that that purple is Eli. 
He’d changed his hair.
It looked... good.
He’s standing with Demetri, but your gaze is focused on Eli completely and wholeheartedly. 
Picking up the speed in your step, you move to greet the both of them, only to falter when you hear what Demetri’s saying.
“What about you and Moon, eh? Did I detect a note of rapprochement in the air?”
Steps faltering, all excitement quickly fades through you as Demetri’s words register in your mind, the disappointment heavy on you as you feel your shoulders sag. A glance back reminds you of who you’d just seen walk by, and the pieces come together as a weight falls over your chest. You take a step back, nothing bothering to listen to what Eli has to say in response – truthfully, you’re too afraid to hear what he has to say back, fearing the worst.
And because of that, you don’t hear him vehemently correct Demetri that he and Moon were just friends and were better that way or the way that Demetri smiles knowingly at that and your name leaves his lips as Eli’s cheeks warm.
You also don’t notice the both of them see your figure hastily rushing off either, not until, at least, you hear Eli call for you.
Your body stops on its own, doing so without evening realizing, and when you turn back to face him, Demetri has walked off and it’s just Eli.
Forcing a smile on your lips, you pretend like you hadn’t just been eavesdropping on them. “Hey,” you smile, moving to fall into step with him, briefly meeting his gaze before you let your eyes wander to your feet, watching your steps. Eli pauses slightly at that, wanting to have stopped and talk to you, but he follows after you quickly regardless. 
“I, uh, like the purple. It suits you really well.”
It’s what you’d wanted to say to him anyways.
“Oh, uh, thanks,” he grins distractedly, touching the side of his head. “I felt like a change was due.”
You smile up at him, nodding; “I liked the red, but the purple really suits you.”
He smiles, but doesn’t say anything in response. You turn to him just as the both of you turn the corner, his lips parting to say something as the look on his face turns to one of concern. Only, he doesn’t get to finish what he’s saying as the both of you are interrupted by Miguel, Demetri and Sam rushing up to you.
“Yo,” Miguel calls, pulling your attention on him. “You guys won’t believe this. Sensei got drunk and went on a Twitter rant.”
He holds his phone out, Eli easily grabbing it as you raise a brow; “I believe everything except for the part where he knows how to tweet.”
Demetri snorts; “that’s what I said.”
Sticking your tongue out at him, you move to lean over Eli’s shoulder, ignoring the slight moment of pause from him as you grow closer, letting your eyes flicker across what sure enough is a series of tweets from Johnny himself.
Tomorrow night. Eagles reign supreme.
It’s time for the Valley to see what karate is all about!
IT’S ON: LAWRENCE-LARUSSO REMATCH! hashbrown dead meat.
You snort; “hashbrown?”
Meeting your eyes, Miguel shrugs; “he doesn’t really understand how to hashtag things.” Then, shaking his head, he sighs, “it looks like he and Sensei Larusso are gonna have a rematch.”
“Wait,” Eli calls, “so they’re really gonna fight?”
“Apparently,” Sam shrugs, “should’ve seen this coming.”
“Who does he even think he’s tweeting for?” Demetri calls to attention, “you’re his only follower?”
“I don’t know,” Miguel sighs, dejected. “H-He seems serious about it.”
“Yeah,” you grin, unable to stop yourself as you point at the phone; “he ‘hashbrowned’ dead meat.”
Eli and Demetri chuckle, and you like the fact that Eli responds so positively, but Sam and Miguel just frown at you.
Biting your lip, you offer an apologetic smile.
“So, this is real?” Eli grins, looking entirely too pumped; “Sensei and Sensei are gonna throw down?”
Sam and Miguel nod.
“That’s awesome!”
-
Johnny’s tweets get around – whether that’s because of the students actually finding his tweets or word getting around from namely Demetri and Eli, the entire class is there at the dojo when you arrive. 
Well, everyone but Eli.
When you ask Demetri, he just shrugs, not sure himself. It worries you, given you remember how excited he’d seemed over the match between your two sensei’s, but you barely have time to worry either way because the match is starting before you can do much about it. And reluctantly your attention is stolen by the match as Johnny and Mr. Larusso makes their way to the sparring deck, Miguel and Sam moving to either side of their respective sensei to help keep watch of points.
Chris is center front of the group, his phone stretched out on a tri-pod to catch every second of said match.
The match starts after a few short words are shared between both Mr. Larusso and Johnny, stepped away so none of you can hear. And you watch as Johnny manages to get the first point, a strike to Mr. Larusso’s arm, but Mr. Larusso is able to easily gather said point right back in similar fashion.
It continues on like that, intense sparring that results in the match ending up two to two until whoever gets the first hit wins.
You’ve never seen a match quite like theirs. They’re pretty much equal in strength, the match being able to go either way, and it’s hard to keep up with their movements as each one moves with precise and quick movements.
It ends with the both of them striking each other straight in the chest, knocking them to the ground.
“Point, Lawrence!”
“Point, Larusso!”
Confusion falls over everyone as Miguel turns to Sam; “are you sure?”
“Are you sure?”
“Check the replay!” Demetri calls out next to you, everyone quickly moving to do just that, gathering around Chris who rewinds the video just until the moment of the final kick.
It doesn’t really help clear anything.
“Go to another angle,” Johnny shrugs.
“There is no other angle,” Chris turns to him, confused.
“Don’t you guys have another phone?”
“I–”
“Hawk?”
Turning alert at Miguel’s voice, your eyes instantly flicker upwards, glancing at Eli who had caught Miguel’s attention and instantly seeing what was wrong. His face is covered by the hood of his hoodie, hiding most of his face, and his shoulders are curled in on himself, and it isn't hard to tell there’s something wrong.
“Shit, Eli, what–what happened?”
Pushing your way forward, you pause right in front of Eli.
He avoids your gaze, refusing to meet your concerned gaze, as he raises his hand, pushing his hood off.
Your eyes widen, lips parting as he reveals just what had happened – his mohawk had been ruthlessly cut off, half-hazardly, strands of purple hair sticking up from the sides, while the middle is completely shaved, uneven in it’s cut. You’re honestly surprised he’s not cut anywhere given how rough it looks like his hair had been shaved. But what really catches your attention is how red and puffy his eyes are, something that’s clear now that his hood is no longer covering his face.
Hands falling to your lips, you feel your heart break in worry for him.
Johnny steps forward, moving to a stop right in front of Eli; “who did this?”
Eli only hesitates a moment; “Cobra Kai.”
There’s a collective series of sighs, but you hardly care. You rush to step forward, moving towards Eli as Johnny steps back, giving you room.
“Kreese and Silver did this,” you hear Johnny call out, “they need to pay.”
“Eli?” You call softly, hand falling on his arm as he moves to pull his hood up, hiding himself once again. “Eli, are you–”
He just turns away from you, shrugging your hand off of him.
“Jesus, Johnny,” Mr. Larusso huffs, “please. Kreese tried to kill you last time. You wanna fight them both?”
Frowning, you turn back to Eli, but he won’t meet your eyes.
“Damn right,” Johnny argues, “look at what they did.”
“Dousing the fire with gasoline, that’s your answer? Why am I not surprised?”
Distressed, Miguel steps towards Johnny; “sensei, stop.”
Johnny just disregards him. “You still think your way is the only way. You were so proud when they pulled their little sprinkler prank. But if they stood their ground and kicked ass like I taught them, this never would’ve happened.”
“If they fight every time they’re provoked, where does that lead?” Mr. Larusso recalls, throwing his hands up. “Back to the hospital? Or to jail?” Come on, just ‘cause you spent time in both–”
“Enough, dad,” Sam cuts in, voice pleading as she steps in front of Johnny, as if protecting him from her own father. “Johnny’s right. It doesn’t matter how many times we stand up to Cobra Kai, if we don’t strike back, they’re gonna keep coming at us.”
The silence that follows is thick.
“And you were worried about my influence on your kids?” Mr. Larusso breathes, “is that what you wanted, Johnny? To have my daughter and the rest of my students acting like you?”
“You don’t have to worry about it anymore.,” Johnny assures, taking a step towards Mr. Larusso. “Cause we’re done.”
“Works for me.”
There’s a moment where the two just stare at one another, before Johnny concedes, stepping back and calling for Eagle Fangs to follow him. You straighten out at that, panicked as you move towards Eli, watching as Johnny hesitates, staring back at Miguel, who only after a moment, reluctantly follows Johnny.
Eli makes a move to walk off and you grab onto his wrist, grip tight, pleading; “Eli, just wait. I just want to know you’re okay–”
“Just leave me alone, Y/N,” he brushes you off, ripping his wrist away from you. The action stuns you enough that you don’t move at first, body freezing at his harsh words and his complete dismissal of your concern. His back turns to you and he doesn’t offer you another glance back as he walks off, following after Johnny.
Your hand hangs in front of you, bewildered.
When Miguel walks past you, he frowns at you, but doesn’t say anything, slowly following after the rest.
Biting your lip, you hold back the tears that threaten to fall as you watch them walk off.
As you watch Eli walk off.
-
You stare down at your phone, those tiny little letters staring back at you.
Read.
Yeah, you can’t help but scoff. Read, but still blatantly ignoring you.
“Hey, everyone, gather around. I have news.”
Sighing, you push your phone into your back pocket, moving to gather around Mr. Larusso with the rest of the students.
“The All Valley committee just announced big changes for the tournament.”
“What kind of changes?” 
Handing the paper over to Sam, Mr. Larusso smiles; “see for yourself. It’s a whole new ball game.”
Leaning over Demetri, you squint to read the letter.
“They’re introducing skills competitions?”
“Yup.”
“Kata, board breaking, weapons display?”
None of that even matters to you as you read what’s below it.
Glancing up you meet Sam’s eyes, “and there’s gonna be a separate girls’ division.”
She nods, “so that means…”
Mr. Larusso smiles; “there’s gonna be two All Valley champs.”
“Wait,” Chris calls, puzzled, “what does that mean for the bet with Cobra Kai?”
“There’s a Grand Champion trophy for whichever dojo wins the most points,” he explains.
Sam shrugs; “all I know is the girls’ division is mine.” Then, pausing, she falters, turning to you; “I mean…”
You just laugh, shrugging as you hold your hands up; “it’s all yours, Sam. I hardly doubt I have the skill to compete with you.”
“It could go either way,” Mr. Larusso cuts in before Sam can reply, smiling at the both of you. “At the very least, I’m positive we have one of the winners here.” He gestures to the both of you, a reassuring smile on his lips as he meets your eyes.
Turning to meet Sam’s eyes, you can’t help the smile that curls onto your lips at Mr. Larusso’s encouragement.
You? Win? You doubted it… especially if you ended up having to face Sam.
Still, it felt nice to know someone at least believed in you.
“And that just leaves the skills and the boys,” Mr. Larusso smiles, turning to the rest. “I’m counting on you guys.”
Demetri and Chris pause.
“Who, us?”
“Yeah,” Demetri nods, “we’re a bunch of Rudys. I mean, sure, we’re good for the occasional inspirational moment, but we’re not exactly center mat material.”
“Demetri,” you call, frowning up at him. “That’s not true.”
“Uh,” he pauses, pointing his finger at you. “Yes, it is.” And honestly, he doesn’t even look the slightest bit offended or disappointed by his own words – he wholeheartedly believes them.
“We were much better off with Miguel and Hawk,” Chris reminds.
“Or he who shall not be named.”
Robby.
“Rhymes with ‘Dobby’,”
“Yeah, I’m gonna go on a whim and assume they knew who you meant, Demetri,” you snort, setting your hand on his arm with a shake of your head.
“Look,” Mr. Larusso sighs, “I know you’re missing some of your friends. And of course I wish Robby was here.” Letting your gaze fall to your feet, you hug yourself. “But it’s time to put the past behind us, all right? Don’t worry. By the time the tournament comes around, you’re gonna realize this was the best thing that could’ve happened to us.”
-
He’s not answering any of my texts.
I think he’s embarrassed.
Why? I would never make fun of him.
Yeah, and he knows that but he doesn’t want you to see him as some loser.
Oh…
Look, I’ll talk to him okay? 
Okay… thanks, Demetri
Of course.
Setting down your phone, you let out a heavy sigh, hands running across your face.
You were happy Eli was at least still talking to Demetri, but you couldn’t deny you were a little hurt that he’d all but shut you out. You thought things had been going well between the two of you, that your friendship was starting to mend bit by bit and… you’d even thought maybe something more would happen. 
For him to just completely shut you out, refusing to answer your texts, ignoring you when you try to visit him…
He doesn’t want you to see him as a loser…
That’s what Demetri had said, and you guessed, when you thought about it like that it did make sense. You’d known that that mohawk had meant something more to Eli than just some haircut, that it had been a staple of change in his life. It wasn’t hard to tell it was something that gave him confidence, that made him feel better about himself and you don’t think you’re wrong to assume that he probably thought it was what defined him as a person now.
Hawk. The kid who could fight. The kid who kicked ass. The kid who wasn’t bullied anymore.
The kid who wasn’t a loser.
Without that mohawk, he must’ve thought none of that was true anymore.
You only wish you could tell him that that wasn’t the case. Be there for him like he’d been there for you…
“Y/N!”
Eyes falling shut at the sound of your mother’s voice, your shoulders sag. It takes you a second longer to gather your courage, leaving your phone on your bed as you make your way out of your bedroom and down the stairs, stopping just in front of your mom who’s stood by the front door; a suitcase in one hand and her purse in the other.
She’s leaving.
“I’ll text you when I’ve landed, okay?”
Nodding, you wrap your arms around yourself. “Sounds good.”
“I’ve left you money as usual, but if you need anything else, just text me. Extra too for your prom dress.”
“Okay.”
“You’ll be good?”
“Always am.”
Frowning, your mom raises her brow at you.
You concede; “I’ll be good.”
“Okay, well, I gotta go.”
She makes a step towards the door, and your body flinches, the thought of running and hugging her crosses your mind – but you don’t move.
“Bye,” you offer quietly after a moment, raising your hand in a wave.
She looks disappointed, but doesn’t say anything.
She leaves in the next second, the door falling shut behind her with a soft click.
-
“So, that’s new…”
Eyes trailing after Tory, you can’t help but nod at Moon’s words.
“I didn’t know she was even allowed back,” you mull, turning to look at Moon as her eyes follow Tory for a moment longer, before meeting yours. “Pretty sure Sam had to give the okay first, and last I saw, she was anything but okay with it.” Watching Tory disappear down the hallway, you shrug; “clearly she changed her mind.”
“It’s weird,” Moon mumbles, “having her back.”
“Yeah,” you breathe, “I agree.”
Moon shifts beside you, her hand falling on your arm; “enough of that,” she brushes aside with ease, causing you to blink at her in confusion as her face breaks out into a bright grin. Her eyes twinkle with mischief, a sight that instantly makes you feel apprehensive. Over your short time of knowing Moon, that look has never meant anything good.
“Are you excited for prom?”
Oh.
“Um, yeah, I guess,” you shrug, unsure. 
The truth was, you weren’t that excited. Not as much as you should be. After everything that had happened recently, with Cobra Kai and Robby, and then Mr. Larusso and Johnny splitting, your mom leaving and now Eli… well, it was hard to really feel excited for such a thing in the midst of it all.
Especially, because you’d always hoped you would go with Eli and it didn’t really feel like there was a high chance of that happening.
“Come on!” Moon laughs, pulling at your wrist, “you’re not even the least bit excited?”
You pause. “Not really,” you admit, “I don’t even have a dress yet.”
Her eyes widen, lips parting as if you’ve said the most unbelievable thing ever.
“What?”
Jerking back, you frown; “I’ve been really busy with school and karate and–”
“Are you free after school?” 
Turning to Moon, you hesitate; “well, no… Mr. Larusso said he was going to focus on the boys for this class so–”
“Perfect,” she smiles, not bothering to let you finish your sentence. “Then me and you are going dress shopping.”
Your lips part; “oh, I dunno Moon… I don’t really–”
“You don’t have to go to karate, yeah?”
“Yeah…”
“Then, I’ll find you the perfect dress,” she assures, squeezing your hand tightly in her own. “I promise you.”
You meet her eyes, seeing just how excited she is and you find as you stare back at her, you can’t say no. Not when she’s looking at you like that and certainly not when she looks so excited.
“Okay,” you smile lightly, nodding. “Sounds like a plan.”
She practically squeals from excitement. “Perfect! Trust me, Y/N, I’ll find you a dress that makes you stand out from everyone else.” Then, pausing, she smirks at you; “one that’ll maybe catch the eye of a certain boy, yeah?”
It isn’t hard to tell who she means.
Cheeks burning, you avoid her gaze. “I-I don’t know what you’re talking about…”
“Sure,” she laughs, shaking her head as she drags you along the hallway.
-
As soon as you got home from Moon practically dragging you to every bridal shop she could possibly find, not settling on one dress until she was absolutely sure she’d found the right dress, you were more than exhausted. 
Your feet dragged beneath you as you made your way up your driveway and to your front door, your bed calling for you as you held your dress tightly in your arms, fishing for your keys. You’d had homework that you were supposed to get done, but it could wait another day, and honestly, all you wanted to do was fall asleep and never wake up again.
But, despite all that, you couldn’t deny you’d had a fun day. Moon was incredibly sweet, if a little pushy, and she made you feel like a goddess in almost every dress you’d tried on all whilst making sure to find what she deemed the ‘perfect’ one. What you’d settled on had surprisingly left you feeling excited for prom, even if you currently had no date and were positive no one would be asking you anyways… Prom actually seemed exciting to you now, and you were oddly looking forward to wearing your dress.
You were never one to dress up and honestly, going out of your comfort zone was something you avoided. You’d learned over the years that it ended up just embarrassing you more than it ever made you feel beautiful.
Yet, the dress in your hands did make you feel beautiful and you had only Moon to thank for that.
With a small smile, you shift the dress, flipping your keys in your hand, only to pause at the sight of Eli sitting on your front porch.
“Eli?”
He jumps at your voice, sitting up straight when he realizes you’re standing in front of him. Almost instantly, he moves to his feet, your eyes following him as he steps towards you, eyes distantly flickering to the bundle in your arms before meeting your gaze.
“Hey,” he calls softly, hands shoved into the pockets of his sweats.
“Hey,” you breathe.
He looks different then the last time you saw him. The most notable changes are the fact this time he isn’t teary-eyed and the strands left from his mohawk are completely shaved off, leaving him with a buzzcut. But, you notice it just like you notice everything about Eli the way he’s not curling into himself or hiding, and he’s meeting your gaze without an ounce of hesitation and he just appears… more confident.
Even if only slightly.
“What’s, uh, what’s up?” You ask, head tilting to the side in curiosity.
“I just came back from class,” he explains, scratching behind his ear.
“Oh,” your face falls with understanding, eyes softening. “Johnny was able to find a place to train? I know Miguel was saying he wasn’t sure where–”
“Uh, no,” Eli cuts in, making another small step towards you. Your brows furrow at his words. “I was actually at Miyagi-Do…”
Your eyes widen; “wait…”
“Yeah,” he nods, “I joined Miyagi-Do… I, uh, wanted to be there for Demetri and um, well, you too.”
You can hardly believe what you’re hearing.
There was a time where Eli would’ve scoffed at the mere mention of Miyagi-Do.
“Woah,” you laugh lightly, “I missed one class and we get a new student.”
Eli chuckles at that, shrugging; “we… I missed you there. I wanted to see you and apologize for not responding to you… I shouldn’t have ignored you like that, it wasn’t fair of me and–”
Taking a step towards Eli, you shake your head; “Eli?”
He pauses, meeting your eyes. “Yeah?”
“It’s okay,” you assure, voice soft. “I know you needed time. And I’m glad you figured it all out.”
Even if I would’ve liked to be there for you too.
His smile brightens at that, and there’s a moment of silence before he asks what had clearly been on his mind; “where, uh, where were you?”
“Oh,” you jump at that, stepping back and staring down at the bundle in your hands, cheeks warming slightly. “Moon and I were out shopping,” his eyes widened at the sound of his ex. “For, um… a prom dress for me.”
His lips part; “I didn’t know you and Moon were close.”
You shrug, “she’s good company.” Then, ignoring the way it makes your heart hurt, you tease; “you lost something good with her.”
Eli shakes his head. “We’re better as friends.”
You try to ignore the hope that floods through you at that.
“So, uh… prom.”
Body tensing, you meet Eli’s eyes; “yeah… prom.”
His cheeks flush, the tension turning awkward as he avoids your gaze, staring down at his feet and your body feels like it’s electrified with anticipation.
Was this it?
Was he going to ask you?
“Should be fun.”
It takes everything within you not to show just how disappointed you are.
Your shoulders sag and you almost feel like crying as the words you’d so desperately hoped to hear from Eli don’t happen. 
Forcing a smile to your lips, you nod; “yeah, should be.”
His lips part, as if to say something, before he stops himself, body faltering as he turns, “well, I should… I should get going.” He says, and you try to ignore the disappointment that courses through your veins.
“Oh, okay… sure,” you nod, stepping out of his way. “I guess I’ll see you at class, then, huh?”
Meeting your gaze fleetingly, Eli nods; “yeah, I’ll see you then.”
You wave at him as he walks off, waiting until he’s completely disappeared out of sight before you let your shoulders fall, biting your lip to stop the tears that threaten to fall.
You’d… You’d really thought he was going to ask you.
It was stupid of you to get your hopes up.
Eli probably didn’t even like you in that way. Not anymore. He probably wanted to ask Moon, and you hardly doubted he really thought the two of them were ‘better as friends’. It was silly of you to ever think otherwise…
Not when prettier girls existed.
Glancing down at your dress, you swallow thickly.
Yeah, it really was stupid of you.

Could u do smtg with Hawk were chubby reader gets stood up on a date and she's like his BFF and he is really angry about it bc he's secretly n love with her and thinks she can do way better than the guy that stood her up? She/her for reader and happy ending for her and Hawk?
Awh I fucking love this concept🥹
Warnings: self belittling, crying, hawk doing that stupid nostril flare + jaw clench combo
(Unedited!)
Tumblr media
Eli barely heard the knock at the door over the heavy rain that had been falling for the last hour. He lazily pulled himself out of bed, rubbing his eyes as he made his way down the stairs while the knocking continued.
“Jesus… hold your fucking horses I’m coming”
Eli whipped the door open, gaze softening when he realized who was behind the door. Eli’s best friend was stood in front of him, dress soaked and mascara running down her face as she continued to let out quick sobs.
“Aw fuck, c’mere babe.” Eli pulled her inside before closing the door, she immediately pulled him into a hug. He could care less that he was slowly becoming drenched, he’d never seen her this upset so his main concern was who or what did this to her. She cried into his bare chest as he brushed his fingers over her hair doing his best to console her.
“K… c’mon,” he took her hand and led her upstairs to his room to find her something dry to wear, she followed quickly behind him holding tightly onto his fingers.
He opened up his closet and rifled around through his clothes, looking for something for her to throw on. “Here, these should be pretty warm. There’s towels in the bathroom too if you wanna dry off first… shit dude, what the hell happened?” Eli passed her one of his long sleeves and a pair of his pyjama pants.
Reader looked up at him with a pout, taking the clothes from his hands before heading into the bathroom to change. Eli would never pressure her to tell him anything, but something awful happened to her and he was growing more irritated over it by the minute.
While he waited for her to return Eli went back downstairs to grab her a glass of water with extra ice, and two squeezes of kool-aid water enhancer, a very specific combination that she’s been drinking at his house for years. He made his way back upstairs at the sound of the bathroom door opening, meeting her halfway to hand her the glass and gently guide her back to his room by placing his hand on the small of her back. The two sat down on the edge of his bed, Eli waited patiently for some kind of explanation as she took a sip from the cold glass.
Eli just stared at her.
“So… are you ok? I mean, I’ve never seen you this upset and you came into my house drenched with rain so obviously something happened…” Eli began,
“Do you maybe feel like telling me what it was?”
Reader removed the glass from her lips, taking a second to collect herself before telling Eli why she was so hurt.
“You remember how I was supposed to go on that date? With that one really nice guy I told you about?”
He nodded his head,
“He um… well, he stood me up…” Reader began to cry before Eli quickly took hold of her hands.
He ran his fingers over her knuckles as he listened to her quick sobs yet again, tears began to hit the gaps in between their hands.
“Reader,” Eli pulled her against him hoping to comfort her better, “shhhh… shit, I’m so sorry…” Eli kept his arms around her as she completely broke down in his arms, he rested his head against hers as he softly ran his arm up and down her back.
“I- I just don’t understand, Eli,” reader spoke through her broken sobs, “I don’t understand, why can’t I just f-fucking… just be pretty??”
“Hey-” he tried to intervene her self belittling,
“I just want to be pretty Eli! I don’t want to look the way I look, it’s… it’s just not fucking fair!”
Reader was screaming into him now, Eli couldn’t help the way his jaw clenched at her words, with each one his nostrils would flare angrily. He pulled her head from his chest, his hands holding each side carefully.
“Reader, listen to me for Christ sake.” A few sobs still escaped from her lips, Eli gently wiped her tears away with his thumbs.
“The way you look has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that you got stood up tonight, you were stood up because some asshole took you for granted and fucked himself big time by skipping out on a girl like you,”
Hawk wasn’t angry with her, he was hurt that she’d say such things about herself. He’s had a crush on her since they were like 10, he’s always seen her for the gorgeous girl that she is. How could anyone ditch reader?
“You, are so beautiful, and I really want you to see that. That asshole doesn’t deserve you, and you? You deserve the whole fucking world, reader…”
Her arms were instantly thrown around him, holding him as close to her as she possibly could. Eli held the back of her head as he gently kissed the side of her head, “and I will always be here to give that to you if nobody else can.” She continued to sob lightly into his shoulder as he began to rock her side to side in his arms. She lifted her head to his ear to quickly whisper the words she felt he’d want to hear,
“I love you so much, Eli Moskowitz… thank you for always being here with me.” He just smiled lightly against her, hoping she meant the same “love” he meant.

“Hello?” you spoke into the phone. No answer. You spoke again but you heard nothing but part music and people yelling. He was supposed to spend the night with me. Your heart ache for the comfort of your absent boyfriend. You hung up your phone and tried calling again but this time it went straight into voicemail. “Yo! This is Hawk, if I didn’t respond to your text then there’s a reason why. Call me later or not. I don’t care” You left your voicemail and anxiously asked when he was coming back. From your point of view, he was always violent when he didn’t get his way. Although he never really showed me that type of emotion towards you, you were scared one day he’ll lash out on you.
He was supposed to spend the New Year’s Eve with me…not them. He promised. We don’t even hangout often at all-… The storm of thoughts came to a stop. Your heart, aching even more, longing for someone- anyone, to comfort you on this sad New Year’s Eve. You had it all planned out. First, Hawk knocks on your door, you greet him with a kiss. Then, the two of you start to prep a night snack. All before waiting for the clock to strike 12 and entering the new year with each other.
TICK-tock. TICK-tock.
The clock was five minutes away from 12. You thought if he really cared for you. If he would ever put you first or even prioritize you at all. Thoughts of him partying with other girls while you sob at the absence of who you thought was your lover. Minutes quickly went by. From five, four, three, two, one. One. One more minute til New Years. One more minute til you officially enter a new year sobbing and alone. Fireworks sprout out. That was your sign that it officially turned January 1st. You got up and start getting ready for bed. You took a shower, changed into clothes, brushed your teeth, ect.
It was now 12:15 AM. Frantic knocking from your door made you leave the restroom in a rush. “Who could be knocking at this fucking hour-“ you opened the door to see Hawk outside. He looks sober but you looked enraged. You were so mad that you weren’t even going to let him in. You closed the door, making almost shut but he stopped you from closing it.
“C’mon princess, what’s with the attitude?” He had the audacity to lean on the door frame and smirk. You crossed your arms and rolled your eyes. Fireworks booming in the background made you even more upset. I’m with the attitude? Oh Eli, you’re about to see fucking attitude.
“Attitude? Me? You promised that you would spend the fucking New Year’s Eve with me and not go to another absurd party. We barley spend time with each other and this ONE time I ask you if you can hangout with me- which you PROMISED that you will. You ditched me again for a FUCKING PARTY.”
Your face was fuming, red, and hot. You turned around and slammed the door at him. Unfortunately for you, the door wasn’t locked. He stormed inside looking for you. “Can we talk about this? You don’t have to be dramatic about this.” You stood in front of him, already in tears. “Dramatic? How am I being dramatic? I never stood you up. I’m always there for you. I was always to support you even before you were Hawk… you know what.” He held his arms out. He expected you two would just hug it out because you were the “forgiving” type. You slapped him hard in the face. A red print was left with also his angry/ confused expression.
“What the fuck!” He yells. “You don’t have to be such a bitch. Can’t I have some sense of fun?!? The fuck you hitting me for? I have done nothing wrong but-“ you cut him off.
“Save it. I’m done putting up with your bullshit. When you told me you loved me, I thought you meant it…” You let out a sigh. Whipping your tears, you knew that you were going to regret this decision but you knew it would be for the better.
“Eli…I tried my hardest to see if you loved me how I loved you. Clearly, you don’t. I’m sorry for this but we should just end it here.”
He furrowed his eyebrows. His eyes widened and his lips twitched. “W-what? No! I-I’ll change, please princess. Don’t leave me. I’m nothing without you” He grabbed your shoulders. His eyes watering up. As much as you wanted to comfort him. You couldn’t. You just couldn’t.
“No. Eli let go. I can’t with us anymore. This isn’t going to work out. Please try to understand” The two of you went back in fourth arguing. The sound of the fireworks grew louder.
“I’ll change, I swear on it! Please don’t do this. I don’t know what I’ll do without you.”
“Enough Eli.” The stern of your voice made him realize how this decision is final. “Leave Eli.” He tried one more time. “But-“
“Leave!” the room was silent. The two of you were already in sobbing messes. Eli took a breath and turned around and headed for the door. On his way out, he paused.
“I really did love you. I’m sorry” his voice was shaky, he headed out and closed the door shut. The sound of the fire works slowly faded away. You plopped to the ground, ugly crying, and wishing you haven’t have done what you just did.
Weeks have gone by. You couldn’t do anything for days. Close friends and family’s made sure to check up on you but that wasn’t any help. One day, you’ve gotten a text from Sam. As you clicked on it, a photo of Eli and an unknown girl were together. Her, sitting on his lap while they pose for a kiss.
You were sad but couldn’t feel to care for the photo. You loved Eli so much, it hurts to see him so happy with another girl that isn’t you. Oh how you wished that was you. Oh how you wish that was you kissing his soft but textured lips. You left Sam on read and started more scrolling. You wanted to get back at him for all the pain he caused you throughout the whole relationship plus those weeks you mourned for him once more.
Suddenly you grinned to the thought of a great idea. Scrolling through your contacts, Robby appeared. Although Sam and them didn’t like him, you sought this to be the perfect revenge plan.

shadow of yourself
Tumblr media
Prompt: “You’ve changed, Eli. I barely even know who you are right now.”
A/N: Let me know if you’d like to be added to the tag list :) And please let me know what you think of this first part! Based off of: Cobra Kai 01x01, 01x02 and 01x03 Warnings: bullying, swearing, mentions of SA, etc. Pairing: Eli Moskowitz x F!Reader
WELCOME TO THE LOSERS:
“Well, Y/N. Don’t you just look happy.”
Sending Demetri a glare, you let your lunch tray fall to the table with a loud clatter, falling into your seat with a huff. You can feel both Demetri and Eli’s, whose sat next to you, gaze on you as settle into your seat.
Letting out a huff, you meet their gaze. “Guess who I ran into on my way here?”
“Hmm, let me guess,” Demetri pretends to pause in thought, pressing a hand to his chin. “Yasmine?”
Snapping your fingers at him, you roll your eyes. “Bingo.”
“Are you okay?”
Eli’s voice is in a much softer tone compared to Demetri’s, pulling your gaze on him as he stares at you with a mixture of concern and sadly, a lack of surprise. You can’t blame him, or even really Demetri’s response — the fact of the matter was it wasn’t surprising.
At all.
“I’m fine,” you shrug, moving to cross your arms over your chest. “She just had a few choice words about my appearance today, that’s all.”
Although you try to say it with an edge of nonchalance, brushing off their concern — both Eli and Demetri can see the way you curl into yourself, arms wrapping tighter around your body in an effort to try and cover yourself more. You were deeply regretting letting your small bout of confidence this morning convince you to wear something different to your normal every day attire. Something a little more risky, something a little more like what Yasmine would wear.
Any confidence you had had been quickly shattered the second you ran into Yasmine.
“Well, I-I think you look great.”
No matter how softly fumbled his words are, Eli’s compliment doesn’t fail to make your heart flutter in response and a warmth grow to your cheeks. You suddenly feel ten times better than you had seconds prior, a feat only Eli was ever able to accomplish when it came to Yasmine. The smile that curls onto your lips is contagious, but you find yourself fumbling for a response back, your embarrassment growing at the rather unimpressed look Demetri is sending both your ways.
“Is it cool if I sit here?”
You’re thankful for the interruption in more ways then one, blinking in surprise as you turn to look at the unfamiliar voice only to see a kid you don’t recognize.
“Ooh,” Demetri whistles, answering before you can get a word in otherwise. “Sorry, table’s really blowing up right now. I can put you on the wait list, but it’s probably next semester at the earliest.”
The new kid just shakes his head, obviously believing Demetri’s sarcasm, moving to walk away. “Okay.”
“Wait,” you call out, voice rushing out quickly before he can get too far. “He’s kidding,” you quickly explain, sending a small smile when the new kid meets your gaze. “Please sit,” you gesture before yourself. “Sometimes, Demetri just doesn’t know when to not be sarcastic.”
You send another glare Demetri’s way, but he’s hardly phased, shrugging his shoulders. “Hey, I bring the entertainment to this table.”
Rolling your eyes, you turn back to the new kid. “My names Y/N.”
“Miguel,” he nods back.
“I’m Demetri, like she said,” Demetri offers, before gesturing to Eli. “This is Eli.” In response, he just offers a small nod. “He’s a man of few words.”
Eli looks down at his hands at that, a action you notice out of the corner of your eye. Frowning, you quickly move to nudge him, sending him a small smile, one he moves to reciprocate, before something catches his eye.
Following his gaze, you frown at the sight of Yasmine.
Instantly, you curl back into yourself, desperately trying to avoid the girls gaze as she walks right past, not even batting you, or the rest of your friends, a single glance. Still, her words from earlier come back to slap you in the face, and you’re quick to curl back into yourself, nails digging into the back of your shirt.
You don’t notice Eli’s gaze on you.
“Dude,” Demetri calls out, causing you to blink. “Don’t torture yourself. Those are the rich girls.”
Miguel seems in a trance, blinking himself out of his stupor; “do you ever talk to them or...”
Instantly, you can feel Demetri’s sarcasm.
“Oh yeah! All the time. We hang out after school, make out, give each other hand jobs.” You watch as Demetri gestures to Eli, the latter in response laughing quietly to himself. “Eli here is the homecoming king. Gets laid more than anyone. Isn’t that right, Eli?”
“Okay, okay,” you huff lightly, rolling your eyes at Demetri but even you can’t stop the smile on your lips at his words. “I think Miguel gets the point.”
Demetri shakes his head, continuing; “talk to them? You realize what table you’re sitting at, right? You’ve pretty much signed away all hopes of losing your virginity before college.”
As Demetri finishes talking, you feel Eli tense up beside you. Glancing over at him with a frown, your shoulders fall in realization once you see what he has. 
“Oh shit, Yasmine’s looking at us.” He fiddles with his fingers, leaning into himself. “Probably just making fun of me.”
“I don’t think she’s making fun of you,” Miguel argues, shaking his head. “I mean, just because they’re hot doesn’t mean they’re mean.”
“Maybe,” Eli shrugs, ignoring the disbelieving look Demetri sends him. “I mean, Y/N’s nice.”
You blink at his words, suddenly feeling all three boys’ gaze on you as your lips part in surprise. Specifically, you can’t seem to take your eyes off of Eli as he smile softly at you -- you’re not even sure he completely understand exactly what he just said to you. But then again, Eli said a lot of things to cheer you up and they never really meant anything before.
Not in the way you hoped anyway.
“See?” Miguel agrees, sending you a bright smile. “Eli gets it.”
“Well, I don’t care if Yasmine is the meanest girl at school. I’d kill all three of you just to get her to spit in my face.”
Scrunching your face up, you turn to Demetri; “that’s disgusting.”
“Yet,” he pauses, “true.”
“If you don’t make a move, though, you’ll never have a shot,” Miguel cuts in, shaking his head at Demetri.
“True,” Demetri points at Miguel, “but I’ll also never suffer a humiliating rejection. I’m at peace with my depression, the last thing I need to be is suicidal.”
Miguel falls silent at that, and just as you move to finally take a bit out of your lunch, you freeze when you feel a pair of eyes on you. It’s no doubt Yasmine, but still you turn your head over your shoulder nonetheless, a deep frown marring your lips as she meets your gaze. The look on his face is nothing short of cruel as he blatantly laughs at you, sending you a feigned pout of pity.
A little past her, you see one of the boys that frequently sit at her table eyeing you as well. Particularly, your chest.
Yup, you really shouldn’t have listened to yourself this morning.
“Did--Did you want my sweater?”
Blinking at Eli’s words, you turn back around to face him, eyes widening.
“What?” Then, you see him gesturing to his sweater, the words finally settling in. “Oh, no, that’s okay, Eli. Thank you though--”
But he’s already pulling off his sweater before you finish speaking, your lips parting as you watch him simply hand it over to you with a gentle smile. It takes you a second before you accept it — not feeling the pair of eyes watching you — smiling brightly at Eli.
“Thank you, Eli. I was getting a little cold.”
The both of you know that’s not it, but neither of you say anything as you let the sweater fall over your body, pulling your arms through the sleeves, feeling a bit better at being a little more covered.
And, of course, getting to wear Eli’s sweater.
Neither of you notice the matching pair of blushes on either of your cheeks -- in fact, the only one who does is Demetri, who simply rolls his eyes at the both of yours obliviousness.
Then, suddenly, Miguel’s standing up, slow and as if in a daze.
“Uh, what’re you doing?”
“Striking first.”
“Oh, shit.” Demetri huffs, “hope we don’t get hit with the shrapnel.”
Rolling your eyes, you watch Miguel with a smile. “I kind of admire it,” you shrug, “his confidence.”
“And yours this morning seemed to work so well for you.”
Frowning at Demetri’s words, you glance down at your lap.
In the next second, the chair Miguel had been sat in not seconds prior is pulled back out, Miguel falling into it with a huff a second later.
“So,” Demetri calls after a moment, “how’d it go?”
Miguel just nods, not needing to say anything. 
“Well,” you offer after a moment, “I thought it was brave.”
Miguel turns to you with a bright smile, surprised by your words as you send him a thumbs up.
“Y/N.”
Feeling a nudge at your side, you turn to Eli with a quirked brow.
“Remember?”
That’s all he needs to say for it to click, “oh, shit! Our project!” Turning to Demetri and Miguel, you send an apologetic glance the latter’s way. “Sorry, Eli and I have to finish up our project that’s due next period. Final touches. It was nice meeting you though, Miguel.”
You’re moving to a stand, Eli following after you quickly as Miguel sends you a wave.
Once the two of you are out of the lunchroom, Miguel turns to Demetri.
“Are those two--”
“Dating?” Demetri cuts in, rolling his eyes. “No. However, deeply in love with each other and too afraid to admit it? Yes, most definitely.”
Miguel nods, slowly at first. “How long have they been like that?”
“Since the first day Y/N stood up for Eli, which in turn turned her into one of us.” Demetri shrugs, “I believe that was… middle school? I’ve known Eli since elementary and Y/N was the first person who ever stood up for him. He’s been in love with her since then.”
“And Y/N?”
Demetri pauses, face scrunching up in thought. “I dunno. One day, she came into school and it was like Eli was a whole new person to her. She won’t tell me, though. Won’t even admit it.”
Miguel frowns, head titling in confusion. “But it’s so…—“
“—obvious?”
“Yeah.”
“Trust me,” Demetri sighs, “I’ve been trying to tell both of them that for years.”
-
“Cyberbullying is no laughing matter.”
“Oh no,” you mumble, voice barely a whisper.
You feel Eli tense next to you, Miguel and Demetri sending you a look of confusion as all of four of focus on the student councillor. She’s made herself known at the front of the lunchroom, microphone in hand for added effect.
By the look on Eli’s face, you have a feeling you know where this is going.
“Sending a cruel message to someone online can be just as hurtful as saying it to their face. I’m not gonna name names, but the other day a mother called me up because her son was crying after some kids online made fun of his facial deformity.”
Not gonna name names, my ass.
Turning to Eli, you frown at the look on his face.
“It’s the kid right there,” you hear someone whisper nearby, gesturing to Eli.
“It’s the kid with the weird lip!”
Eli quickly moves to cover his lip, eyes trained downwards as he tries to hide himself with no avail. It’s pretty obvious everyone’s eyes are on him.
Setting a hand on his shoulder, you shake your head; “just ignore them,” you whisper. But you know that’s easier said then done.
“But today, our goal here is to make this school a safe space for all students—“
“You know,” Miguel cuts in, pulling your attention away from the teacher as he leans over to Eli. “If you’re sick of getting bullied, my karate dojos looking for recruits.”
You lips purse in thought, and one glance at Eli tells you he’s maybe considering it.
Of course, Demetri thinks otherwise. “Yeah, right. You hear that, Eli? A little karate training,” he makes some hand movements, a poor mocking of the sport. “And you’re gonna kick some major ass.”
“I’m serious, Demetri,” Miguel argues, leaning forward in his seat. “My sensei’s the real deal. I’m sure I could get you all discounts.”
“As enticing as that sounds, I think we’d rather spend our afternoons playing Crucible Control than getting hit in the face.”
“I dunno,” you shrug, leaning forward with a smile. “It might be worth checking out.”
“Really?” Miguel’s eyes widen, leaning towards you. “You’ll sign up for it then?”
You pause slightly, faltering. “I… more meant,” and slowly your eyes shift towards the boy sat next to you. “Eli?” And when his eyes fall on you, Miguel turns to him excitedly, looking entirely too hopeful. “It might be fun, yeah?”
Eli doesn’t say anything, not really; just a single glance to you and then back at Miguel, before shrugging his shoulders.
“Oh, and one more thing.” The teachers voice cuts back in, “while we’re all looking forward to the Halloween dance, let’s make sure our costumers are cultural sensitive. For example, instead of ‘sexy nurse’, maybe try ‘gender-neutral hospital employee’.”
Body tensing at her words, you bite your lip.
“Y/N?” Miguel calls out, surprising you as you turn to him. “Are you okay?”
“Oh, oh, yeah,” you smile, though it doesn’t reach your eyes. “Yeah, I’m okay. I just realized though, that I um… I have to go.”
You push yourself to a stand, grabbing your backpack with haste.
You’re walking away and out of the lunchroom before any of the boys can stop you.
“What was that all about?”
And as both pair of eyes fall on Eli, he just shrugs.
“I don’t know either.”
-
“Y/N! Y/N! Wait up!”
Pausing at the sound of Miguel’s voice, you’re oddly surprised at the sight of him running up to you, looking as if he’d left the cafeteria in a flurry of panic.
“Um, Miguel?” You call out, baffled as your brows furrow at him.
He falls to a stop in front of you, slightly breathless as he presses his palms to his knees. You watch as he catches his breath, slowly turning his head up to glance at you. “Are you, uh… are you okay?”
You blink, glancing past him at the doors to the lunchroom before back at him. “You ran all the way here just to ask if I’m okay?”
“Well, yeah,” he shrugs, “you looked really upset when you left.”
“Oh.” You mumble it out, shocked at his sweetness and care to check up on you — someone he’s really only just met. “Yeah,” you smile lightly, though it doesn’t meet your eyes. “I just… it’s just this Halloween dance.”
“You don’t wanna go?”
“No, it’s not that, it’s just…” Pausing, you shake your head. You don’t know what you’re just dumping all of your troubles onto Miguel when you’ve barely even told Eli or Demetri any of this. “I don’t know, just nervous. I want something to happen, but I’m scared it won’t go the way I want.”
Miguel smiles brightly, a twinkle in his gaze as he laughs. “You want Eli to ask you to dance, yeah?”
Blinking, you jerk your head back. “How’d you know?”
He just laughs; “it’s clear that you two like each other, and I mean, Demetri has definitely complained about his troubles as a third wheel.”
Letting out a snort, you roll your eyes; “that doesn’t surprise me.”
“I meant what I said though,” Miguel assures, “I know Eli likes you too.”
Crossing your arms over your chest, you shrug. “I’m not sure. He’s really sweet and kind, and there’s times where I think ‘maybe he does like me’, but then nothing ever happens.” You explain, meeting Miguel’s gaze with a frown. “I’m just tired of getting my hopes up.”
Miguel just beams down at you, setting a hand on your shoulder while giving you a thumbs up. “Don’t worry, tonight is the night he’ll make a move. I’m sure of it.”
Quirking a brow, you mimic his smile. It’s impossible not to — Miguel just has this way about him that makes you trust him inexplicably. Because the truth is, there’s no way he can guarantee something like that and yet, you want to believe him. You barely know the boy, but you feel like you can tell him anything, and he’d listen.
“Yeah, you think so?”
“I know so.”
“Well,” you shrug, laughing. “I’ll believe in you then.”
-
“Hey, you!”
Jumping at the random, booming voice, you tense in surprise as you spin around, only to see a full grown man rushing towards you. And not one you recognize as a teacher.
You’d been hesitating on walking into the gym, feeing slightly uncomfortable with the costume you’d chosen for the night. You’d gone with something a little more risky, and last time you had, it had gone anything but well.
However, you were hoping to impress Eli tonight.
“Um, hello?”
He’s slightly out of breath as he reaches you, and you’re mildly unsure of what he wants with you until suddenly there’s a piece of orange paper being shoved in your face.
“Cobra… Kai?”
“It’s my dojo,” he explains, “you should join it. Girls can be badass too. I don’t discriminate.”
Utterly baffled and confused, any previous anxiousness was out the window as you turned back to the guy.
“Thank… you? I guess?”
“Of course, of course,” sending you a ‘rock on’ with his hand, he begins to back up. “Don’t forget to check out the website, it’s—it’s on the paper!”
You don’t say anything else, simply watching him walk away as he slowly shuffles back on his feet before you slowly turn towards the doors to the gymnasium. That was… certainly interesting.
Once you’re inside, it doesn’t take long for you to spot your friends. They’re tucked away in a corner like you expected, and it’s not hard to spot Demetri in his full necromancy get-up that he’d been raving to you about for the past few days leading up.
“Look, there she is!”
Reaching them, you try to ignore the flutter of butterflies — you were shy at the worst of times, and having been trying to push yourself out of your own boundaries recently had been anything but easy. The only reason you hadn’t stopped after Yasmine made fun of you the first time was because Eli had thought you looked great and… well, you wanted Eli to think you looked great tonight too.
Beautiful even.
“Y/N, you—…”
It’s Eli who speaks first once the three boys have gotten a good look at you. Your heart starts to race as anticipation floods you, hoping desperately he’ll say the words you were waiting for.
But then a second pauses by, and it’s starting to get awkward; your smile faltering when you realize he isn’t going to say anything.
“—great!”
It’s Miguel who cuts in, pulling your eyes on him as he grins brightly at you. “Seriously! Best costume out of the four of us for sure.”
It’s not Eli, but the words are sweet enough and you can’t help but smile softly at Miguel — even if you can’t help but feel slightly disappointed. Plus, you know Miguel’s just trying to make you feel better and honestly, it kind of does.
“I thought mine was pretty good,” Demetri mumbles, mainly to himself.
“I mean… dude,” Miguel cuts in, gesturing to you, “she’s Princess Leia…”
Feeling your cheeks warm, you laugh at Miguel’s words, missing the look Eli sends him as you shake your head.
“Oh yeah, Miguel. I think your Sensei’s handing out flyers here at school.”
His head tilts, brows furrowing in confusion.
“Cobra Kai, right?” You ask, handing him the flyer, “he flagged me down before I came in. He was… um, interesting.” You offer lamely, not sure how else to describe the rather strange man.
Miguel looks mildly embarrassed, reading the flyer with a slight flush to his cheeks before smiling at you.
“The offers still there, ya know. To all of you,” he turns to look at Eli and Demetri too.
“Yes, well as much as I love talking about karate — please notice the sarcasm — why don’t we all grab something to drink?”
Figuring this was your chance, you were quick to speak up. “Oh well, I kind of wanted to dance.” You offer, eyes flitting from Demetri to Miguel, before settling on Eli, trying to not look to hopeful as you brush a strand of hair behind your ear. “If—if someone wanted to dance with me.”
It’s clear you mean Eli.
Miguel and Demetri glance at each other, pausing, waiting with anticipation for Eli to take the offer you’d so graciously handed to him on a silver plate. All he literally had to do was say he’d like to dance with you — he didn’t even have to ask!
But as a moment passes and Eli says nothing, looking nervous as ever and a red tint to his cheeks, you think maybe you’d misread some sort of line somewhere along the way.
He looked positively embarrassed at even the thought of having to dance with you.
Swallowing back the tears that threaten to fall, you take a step back. “I’ll go grab us some drinks then,” you call out, desperately wanted to get away from both Demetri and Miguel’s pitying looks and the absolutely mortified one on Eli’s.
Once you’re gone, Demetri doesn’t hesitate; “you really are an idiot.”
Eli blinks, “what?”
“Dude,” Miguel calls, exasperated as he shakes his head. “She obviously wanted to dance with you.”
Eli’s eyes widen, “she did?”
“I swear to God.”
Ignoring Demetri, Miguel turns to Eli; “yes. She was also hoping you’d say something about her costume.” Miguel shakes his head, huffing.And don’t pretend like you don’t like her, it’s pretty obvious.”
Eli’s cheeks warm and he shuffles on his feet, shaking his head, “yeah, but I mean… I highly doubt she’d actually want to dance with me.”
“Dude, we’re you just not present two minutes prior?” Demetri calls out, exhausted at his friends clear obviousness to your more than obvious feelings for him.
Eli just stares back.
“Look, there’s still a chance,” Miguel calls out hopeful. “Just go ask her now, I’m sure—“
But as the three turn in the direction you’d gone, they’re shocked to see a bit next to you, a hand on your arm as you laugh at something he says, the drinks you’d gotten them left forgotten on the table behind you.
Then, in the next second, he’s extending his hand out towards you and you’re letting your own fall in his, moving towards the dance floor.
“Well…” Demetri calls out after a moment of echoed silence, turning back to Eli whose since pulled back. There’s a upset look in his eyes but he turns away before either Miguel or Demetri can say anything.
-
“Here.”
Biting your lip, you reluctantly follow behind the boy, Adam, who’d asked you to dance. At first you’d been hesitant, but then one glance back at Eli and watching as he adamantly shook his head — assuming it had something to do with you — you realized, why not?
You deserved to have some fun, even if it wasn’t with the boy you wanted.
And it had been fun — at first — but now he was leading you out of the gym and through the rather secluded halls and you were starting to get a bad feeling about what he really intended.
“This rooms empty.”
“Um, I don’t—“
You’re yanked into the room before you can finished speaking, feeling the door slam shut behind you as you’re pressed against it. Your chest tightens in fear, feeling sweat build on your forehead as you realized you should’ve listen to your own instincts better.
Feeling his hands slide onto your hips, you tense.
“Uh, I don’t think—”
“Shh, it’s okay, right?” Adam calls out, voice husked as he presses his lips to your ear. “I mean, you like this sort of stuff, don’t you?”
Baffled by his words, you press the palms of your hands against his chest, pulling away from his with wide eyes. “What’re you talking about?” You huff, shaking your head as you try to create as much distance between the two of you as possible.
“What are you talking about?” He laughs obnoxiously, making you feel ten times smaller then you actually are. “Don’t you know?”
“Know what?”
“Everybody says you like to act like a prude, so I guess it makes sense.” Smirking, Adam pulls your hands off of him, moving to grip your waist with a tight squeeze. But as you continue to stare at him bewildered, he just rolls his eyes. “You know? I heard a few of my buddy’s say you’ve already given them a blowjob. I figured I had to see what all the fuss was about.”
“What?”
Finally coming to your senses, you harshly shove him off of you, feeling your eyes water at his words.
“Okay, Jesus,” he huffs, holding his hands up. “Don’t have to be such a bitch.”
You’re turning away before he can say anything more, rushing out of the room as the tears start to well in your eyes. You couldn’t believe what he was saying — you’ve… you’ve never even kissed a guy before…
How could those rumours have started? How—
Then it clicks. Yasmine.
“Man, I heard you were one but I didn’t realize you’d starting dressing like a slut too.”
It makes sense now why she’d said that to you yesterday. She’s always had a particular hatred for you, teasing you day in and day out — you just never thought it’d go that far…
Feeling a sob break past your lips, you realize you should’ve just stayed home tonight. Nothing had gone the way you wanted and now—
“Y/N?”
Freezing at the sound of Eli’s voice, and the pair of footsteps following him, knowing it can be no other than Demetri, you pause in your step. You don’t really want them to see you crying. They were your best friends, even if Demetri could get on your nerves sometimes, you still cared for the both of them greatly.
However, they were boys and you were afraid they wouldn’t… understand.
“Are you okay?”
A hand falls on your shoulder, touch gentle but hesitant and you’re quick to turn your head the other way.
“I’m fine,” you rush out, shaking your head as you wipe hastily at your cheeks.
“No, you’re not,” Demetri calls out from the other side of you, peaking around to see you — making your attempt at hiding all but useless. “You’re clearly crying.”
Sending him a glare, you huff; “thank you for stating the obvious, Demetri.”
He pulls back, hands held up in surrender as you simply sigh, shoulders falling in defeat as you finally turn to look at Eli. He looks ten times more worried then Demetri, (though you know deep down in his ever so sarcastic heart he cares) and he’s looking down at you with such care and concern you find your resolve faltering at the look in his eyes.
“What happened?”
Biting your lip at his softly uttered question, you shrug; “nothing.”
Eli frowns, clearly knowing you’re lying. “Yasmine?”
You tense at her name and that gives it away.
Demetri sighs, and the two boys follow you as you move to take a seat at the steps before the three of you. They’re on either side of you, Eli’s shoulder brushing against your own.
“Obviously something happened.”
You turn to Demetri, shaking your head. “It’s fine. More or less the same.”
“W-Well,” Eli cuts in, unable to stop himself. “What happened to that boy you were with?”
Your whole body freezes at his question and Demetri and Eli are quick to send each other a confused glance.
“Y/N,” Eli calls, leaning forward to meet your gaze. “Did he… he do something to you?”
You’re unbelievable uncomfortable. It wasn’t that you didn’t trust them, especially Eli — the two of you have leaned on each other more times then you can count when either of you were picked on. You found comfort in him, and you knew Demetri would never make fun of you because he understood.
Well, understood most of it.
“I got away before anything happened,” you shrug, bringing your knees to your chest, making a special effort to keep your dress tucked from revealing anything. “It just… startled me.”
You are careful not to mention what he said. You don’t want Eli thinking that of you.
“Do you want me to beat him up for you?”
It’s Demetri who says it, and it instantly brings a smile to your lips which you assume was the goal of his comment. Turning to him, you shake your head at the goofy look on his face, hands held out before him like he’s going to fight somebody.
“You been secretly going to Miguel’s dojo or something?” You tease, wiggling your brows.
Eli huffs next to you, “yeah, right. Demetri hates that I’m even considering it.”
You turn to Eli, letting out a giggle at the both of them, unaware of look the both of them send to each other and the smiles that curl onto their lips at their success in getting you to laugh.
Maybe they didn’t understand but, as always, you find yourself surprised at how much care either of the boys put into making sure you’re happy. Even though the night hadn’t gone how you wanted, it still felt good to know that at least you still had your friends.
And as your laughter slows, something comes to mind; “wait, where’s Miguel?”

News pt. 1 | Hawk x Fem!Reader
Tumblr media
summary: the reader just recently finds out she is pregnant and has to figure out how to tell hawk. she knows he has gone through a lot since what cobra kai did to him. how will he handle it? (moon and him were never together in this)
request: yes / no
warnings: a tiny bit of angst, fluff
authors note: this will be a two part series!! and it is based on season four!!
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
y/n and eli have been in a relationship for quite a while now. although, they started off as being best friends. they practically grew up together. the two nerdy friends that practically fell in love but were too shy to say anything. eventually y/n built up the guts to say something because she knew eli would never say anything himself. yes, things changed a lot when eli became hawk but their relationship was one thing that never changed. all of that, eventually leads to now. hawk just recently went through a ton of change. cobra kai decided to pay him a visit and shave his head. let’s just say he’s gone through a lot and y/n wants to make sure he is happy.
“IM WHAT?” y/n shouted as she looked at her doctor with a horrified expression
“you’re pregnant miss y/n.” the doctor said softly, trying to calm her down
y/n’s pov:
a thousand thoughts ran through my head.
i’ m pregnant?? there is no way.
i’m a mom?! oh my gosh i’m gonna be a mom.
AND HAWK IS GONNA BE A DAD. wait.. how am i going to tell him??
UGH.
i sat there nervously shaking my leg.
“you should probably let the father know as soon as you can.” the doctor said with a smile. “have a great day y/n, i will contact you soon about your next check up.” she walked out of the room.
“yeah. that’s probably a good idea..”
3rd person:
y/n drove to hawks house, them already having plans to hang out today. she pulled in his driveway and sat in her car for a few minutes, trying to figure out how she was going to break the news. she knew she had to tell him but he’s gone through so so much. she let all of the negative thoughts move to the back of her mind and she brought herself to the door, ringing the bell.
hawk walked to the door and opened it to see y/n. he smiled and pulled her inside. “hey where have you been?” he said and pecked her on the lips
she smiled slightly and walked in, going over to the couch. “oh uhm.. i had to take a stop at the doctor.” she patted next to her for him to sit, looking up at him
he sat next to her and intertwined his fingers with hers. “are you okay? are you sick?” he asked, his voice laced with slight concern
she shook her head and laughed nervously. “no no, i’m not sick but uhm. it is something..” she looked down in her lap.
he gave her a confused look and moved her chin up to meet his eyes again. “what is it y/n?”
she let out a breath and closed her eyes, too scared to look at him. “i’m pregnant.”

Spooky Season 👻
Summary: You and your friends go to Spirt Halloween together for your friendship tradition.
Word Count: 1.9k
Couple Pairing: Hawk/Eli x Reader
Warnings: honestly none?? Maybe a few curse words and talk of Halloween stuff??
Characters Involved: Reader, Hawk/Eli, Miguel, and Sam
Also this is pure fluff and nerdiness!!!
!!!Also not completely proofread!!!
A/N: Hey guys!! I know it’s been a loooong time since I’ve wrote something. Had to deal with my mental health. I’m gonna start writing again but for right now I’m not gonna take any requests, I’m sorry.. but soon I will! But for right now I’ll post some of my own works. Still on like a semi hiatus, I guess. I hope you all enjoy reading this and thank you for taking the time! 😊
“Hey, you all know what time it is?” You exclaim to your friends slightly hopping up and down.
Sam, Miguel, and Hawk all three turn around to look at you knowing exactly what you’re going to say. Seeing your Halloween themed vest adorned with ghosts, pumpkins, and bats; as well as your very dorky Halloween pun shirt with two broom sticks saying, “Witch Please!” on it. It was safe to say that you wanted to make a statement today.
Hawk tried to hide his excitement as well knowing that he’s going to receive the judgmental glares from Miguel and Sam, as per usual.
“What is it?” Hawk looks at you wide eyed with a big smile.
Miguel stares at him with sarcastic narrow eyes, “C’mon dude. If you don’t know by now then you’ll never catch on!”
Sam chuckles from Miguel’s response as you stand there still giddy.
Sam looks back at you and asks, “Well?”
You get a devious grin, “It’s officially September! And you know what that means?”
Everyone shares a smile and you all say in unison, “Spooky Season!”
You jump and down out of excitement causing your sparkling spider web earrings to bounce with you. Hawk decides to join in on the excitement as you two giggle together. He holds your hands and you two jump together forcing you to almost fall into him.
Miguel and Sam both cross their arms and laugh at you and Hawk.
“Ah, the best time of year!” Hawk exclaims as he pulls away from you leaving you there starting to feel the emptiness between your fingers.
“So, it’s the first weekend and you know what that means too?” You ask your three friends.
Miguel sighs, “Spirit Halloween, huh?”
Sam smiles, “It is tradition!”
“Yeah, dude! We have to go this weekend, we always do!” Hawk practically yells at Miguel but softens his expression when he hears you speak.
“Don’t be a party pooper, Miguel! You always end up having fun every time you go!” You say in almost a sing-song voice, “You know you want to! Pleeeaassseee?”
You see Sam lightly punch Miguel’s arm and he rolls his eyes with a smile, “Okay fine! We’ll go.”
“Yes!” You, Sam, and Hawk celebrate.
Hawk looks at you and gives you a hug; as the hug lasted a little longer than usual you started to wonder if he meant something more. You hug him back like you always do and you feel like you never wanted to let go. You finally do though, letting a small dull ache creep back in your heart, as you hear the bell ring and you all head to your classes to start the school day. You spent all of your classes anticipating the weekend and being able to go to your favorite store with Hawk.
You always had feelings for him ever since the early grade years when you two met but you never knew if he felt the same.
You would notice different hints from him throughout the years. He would hold your hand sometimes, rub your shoulders, play with your hair, or especially give you hugs that would last a few more seconds too long. You always convinced yourself that you were just overthinking it but you had hoped you weren’t.
As you got home that evening you decorated your room with Halloween Knick-knacks and started your countdown.
As the weekend rolled around you were more than excited to carry on the tradition with your friends. You dressed in some dark jeans, sneakers, and of course another punny Halloween shirt reading, “I’m so corny!” with a bunch of candy corn decorations on it. You even paired it with your dangly candy corn earrings.
You heard the car horn honk and you rushed out of the house. As you opened the door you saw Hawk wearing a black shirt with a big picture of Frankenstein on it. It was his favorite shirt due to Frankenstein being his favorite classic monster. In a way it made sense, Frankenstein was a freak. Everyone hated him for being him so he eventually had to become strong and overpower everyone else; sometimes you thought Hawk took that storyline to an extreme.
You walk up to the car acknowledging Hawk’s shirt, “Classic! We love it!”
Hawk almost blushes at you and says, “Nice shirt too. You heathen!”
You shake your head and and get into the car.
On the way there you and Sam begged for something pumpkin spice from Starbucks to Miguel’s disdain, “So basic!”
“Hey! Don’t knock it till you try it!” You say before sipping on your latte.
“Yeah, pumpkin spice is the shit!” Hawk gives you a high-five.
On the way there you and Hawk exchange glances with each other and talked all the way there about what your costumes are gonna be.
Finally you arrive at Spirit and the windows are covered in the posters for the store with the signature grim reaper design and you can feel your heart pounding from excitement. You couldn’t wait to see all that they had this year. As you all get out of the car you and Hawk race to the front door.
“LAST ONE IS A ROTTEN PUMPKIN!” Hawk yells.
“HAWK YOU CHEATED WHAT THE HELL!” You yell back.
“God, they’re such nerds.” Miguel chuckles.
“We heard that!”
You stop at the entrance with shallow breaths deciding not to accept your defeat and you shoot Hawk a glare.
“What? I can’t help that I’m faster!”
You cross your arms, “Oh yeah? That’s what a CHEATER would say!” You step closer to him feeling your anger rise as he smirks at you.
“So I guess this means I’m better at running than you are, hmm?”
You scoff, “Excuse me? Absolutely not!”
You take another step closer to the point you’re almost touching noses.
“Okay, ladies break it up! Either kiss and makeup or we can go home!” Miguel steps in between you two causing you both to separate and fake grimace at each other, “so competitive, geez!”
You look at Sam with a pout and a slight blush on your cheeks and she swings her arm over your shoulder, “You’ll get him next time!”
You four walk in and are greeted by the many animatronics and the setup of the laboratory. Your eyes go wide from excitement and you almost start to hop up and down again until you feel someone grab your hand.
You look up and see Hawk smiling at you, “Wanna go inside?”
You nod your head excitedly but get distracted by Miguel getting jump scared by the animatronic he walked in front of. You all laugh at him and he looks back at you all, “Shit! That dude is huge!”
“And apparently super scary, you coward!” Sam chuckles.
“Shut up!” Miguel smiles, he looks at Sam, “I hate this place.”
“I know you do. You’re fine. Suck it up,” she pats him on the shoulder.
“You sound like Sensei sometimes,” Miguel giggles.
You all enter the laboratory setup and are greeted by flashing lights and huge tubes filled with red liquid.
“Kinda looks like an oversized lava lamp or something,” you say, reaching out to touch it.
“Yeah, it totally does!” Hawk touches it with you and you two look at each other with big smiles.
“SHIT!” Sam gets scared by the jumping spider and almost screams.
“Oh, wow! Who’s the coward now!” Miguel exclaims.
“Seriously, Miguel? Aren’t you supposed to protect me or something?”
You step up, “Him? Protect you? You’d have a better chance with me protecting you!”
You smirk and lead on with, “or even worse have Hawk protect you,” you pretend to get chills and over exaggerate your body movements.
“Fuck off, dude! You are seriously the worst!” Hawk yells back.
Miguel fake laughs with you and Sam, “How original! So funny! Wow!” He slowly claps at your corny joke. You stick your tongue out at him and you walk down a little further and look up at the ceiling.
You see the grim reaper being projected up and it looks like you can almost touch him. You look at the walls and see the stories of some of the animatronics being projected onto the wall.
“I can be in here for hours,” you say completely enamored with everything in your eyesight.
“We know!” Hawk answers, grabbing your hand and leading you towards the exit.
Once you are out of the laboratory you all decide to browse around; with you and Hawk heading over to the horror costumes and Miguel and Sam going to the couples costumes.
“Ugh, gross. Couples costumes,” Hawk has a grossed out expression to his features.
You lightly slap his arm, “No way! They’re cute!”
He scoffs at you and starts looking at the Friday the 13th costumes. You were looking at the Scream costumes when you see Hawk come up with a costume in his hand.
“I know what you could be!” He gives you a big smirk.
“Oh no, what is it?”
He hands the costume to you and you read out, “Sexy camp counselor?” You look at him slightly amused but trying to hide it, “I’ve never been this disappointed in you before.”
“Awh, I think you’d look really good. I could totally be Jason and we’d match!”
Your eyes go wide, “Whoa, whoa, whoa! Are you suggesting a couples costume right now?” You feel a slight jump in your heart rate. You weren’t really sure if this was what Hawk was going for but you wanted to test the waters.
Hawk tries to hide his surprise by your question and you see his face start to turn red so you push further, “Does this mean something?”
“What? No? No. Of course not. Between us? Gross!”
You cross your arms and smirk, “Sure, dude.”
You see Sam and Miguel approach you two after looking around and you turn to them and you exclaim, “I think Hawk wants to do a couples costume with me!”
“What?” Sam asks.
Miguel and Sam look at him with smiles on their faces.
“No! I was just saying we could match! A cute friend idea! Maybe!”
Sam narrows her eyes, “Sexy camp counselor? Not very ‘friendly’ to me, right Miguel?”
Miguel laughs, “Dude, just ask her out already!”
Hawks face at this point is blood red and he is at a loss for words. His face almost holds no expression or at least you thought until he starts to clench his jaw at your teasing.
“I guess the cat's got his tongue!” You say.
You all start to laugh slightly which gives Hawk the push of anger to finally bite the bullet.
“Fine,” he sighs, “I wanted this to be a bit more romantic or something,” you hear him almost audibly swallow the lump in his throat, “but would you like to do a couples costume with me?”
You almost burst out at the seams but you keep your cool knowing your friends would make fun of you forever if you did so you calmly answer with, “Duh!”
You and Hawk share another smile with each other as Miguel stretches his arms out, “Finally! He asks!”
Sam comes up and says, “Okay! We need to find you two the most perfect couple costume for your first Halloween together!”
You can already feel Hawks' eye roll from her statement but for some reason it makes you feel so happy inside. You could almost say it made you feel electrified!

could u do something with Jacob bertrand and Reader is his gf and she comes to set of Cobra Kai to support him and he can't focus bc of her. Like he just wants to make her laugh
Tumblr media
(Unedited)
Jacob just couldn't seem to keep his focus on the scene at hand. Every other moment he was messing up his lines. If it wasn't for Xolo yelling at him or Tanner threatening to kick him in the shine, he wouldn't be able to keep going.
But it wasn't his fault that his cute girlfriend had finally decided to show up to set. Sadly she didn't make it a habit to come very often. Saying it was better that he had his own time to work and do his own thing. She didn't like the idea of overcrowding him. He respected that a lot but sometimes he admitted to missing her. Seeing her face behind the filming cameras always seemed to do something to him.
All he wanted to do was get the stupid scenes over then run to her. The urge to just pick her up off the ground and kiss her was just too strong.
“Dude can you just stay focused for like ten minute please? This is the last scene we have to film today.” Mary hissed. Standing right next to him, Mary couldn't help but poke him in the ribs. He rolled his eyes at her tactics to try and get his attention. His eyes went from Reader who was standing on the sidelines to Mary who was about to smack him.
Her patience was running low as she had plans to hang out with Tanner later. But with the way things were going with Jacob messing up his lines, they would all be there even longer.
“Im sorry okay! But Reader is literally right there! Do you know how hard it is to talk her into coming to the sets? It's super hard. I can't believe she's actually here right now.” his voice was filled with awe. A goofy smile spread over his lips as he looked over at said girl. She noticed quickly and gave him a smile and small wave. She rocked on her heels while trying to watch what was going on. Eyes big while taking everything in.
“You are so pathetic dude, can you just deliver this one line and try to kick me in the face already?” Tanner mumbled while pacing around the small mat they were standing on. Luckily they were filing a quick training scene. Nothing too big but was taking way longer than it needed to be. For a split second he really does want to punch the dirty blonde right in the back of the head.
The scene was quickly over with just a few more shots. In a stroke of pure luck Jacob stopped his attempts at showing off. The director called cut and wrapped up the set for the day. Everyone groaned in an almost sort of tone at what they knew was going to happen next. Xolo just laughed while Tanner shook his head. They watched as the wheels seemed to turn in the other guy's head. His head snapped back over to look at the sidelines. A grin plastered on his face the whole time.
A moment later he is running off the mat in a hurry and barreling towards Reader. Her eyes widened for a split second as she watched her boyfriend race towards her. She couldn't even find the mind to move. Jacob’s feet stopped right in front over her as he bent over and picked her up. With wide eyes she audibly squealed, throwing her arms around his shoulders and neck. Face getting warm from the new attention.
“Jacob stop that! We are in public! Everyone is looking at us.” Reader says as he finally stops spinning her around. He puts her down but hangs on to her in a tight hug. He laughs saying “Oh come on babe, nobody on set cares. They don't have a pda policy or anything.” he kisses all over her neck as they stand there.
“You are so bad.”
“Um I know but what does that make you? I'm your boyfriend after all.” he chuckles making her roll her eyes. His hands felt up her soft sides just enough to have her twitching around in his grasp.
“Want to go back to my trailer for a bit before we head out for the day ~” he said while slowly wrapping a arm around her waist. With a smile she nodded saying “I don't see why not, we don't have any plans until dinner time.” the two turned to walk away from the still-slightly crowded set together.
Jacobs hand quickly made its way down her sides and across her back to grab a hand full of her fat ass. His fingers digging into her supple skin under her clothes. He smirked as he squeezed at her which made her fall more into his side as they walked.
Mary and Tanner gagged a little while Xolo just laughed.
They were definitely not just “hanging out” in that trailer for the rest of the day and everyone knew it.

Just breathe - Part 2 // Cobra Kai
Masterlist Summary: Hallooween, Dance and Bullies. It really is important to stand up for your friends.
Pairing: Eli (not yet Hawk) Moskowitz x OC
Warnings: Language, bullies, insecurities, fluff and kissing
A/N: Hello :) Here wer goooo! If you want to be tagged, just let me know.
Tumblr media
The following day, Lia runs into Miguel as she's getting off her car.
"Soooo? How'd it go?" he asks, wiggling his eyebrow as they enter the building. Lia can barely stifle a grin.
"It went - well..." she replies, and Miguel stops on the step.
"See? What'd I say? So? What happened?" he then asks, and they continue walking.
"Well, I did take your advice and just went for it. I, um, I kissed him."
"And?"
"And I told him that I like him, and then he told me that he likes me, too!" she says, delighted.
"Yes, that's what I'm talking about!" Miguel says, raising his hand. Lia chimes in and then open her locker.
"So what now? Are you guys official?" he asks, and Lia looks at him.
"We actually didn't talk about that..."
"Ahh, too busy doing other stuff, huh?"
"No, it wasn't like that. I mean, we made out a little, but then his mom busted us, and then we just watched a movie, and I left. We didn't talk about what we are now..." Lia says as she takes out the books she needs now.
"Hey, guys!" Demetri greets them both as he walks up to them along with Eli.
"Hey," Miguel says, smiling.
Lia smiles at Eli, but he just stands next to Demetri, his eyes downcast, looking at her only briefly before turning away again, embarrassed. Miguel exchanges a glance with Lia and then shrugs.
Lia takes a deep breath and then turns away, disappointed. "All right, I'll see you guys later," she says sadly, then walks away.
"What's going on with her?" asks Demetri, looking after her questioningly.
Miguel, meanwhile, just looks at Eli and raises an eyebrow. Demetri sees it, but as usual, he jumps to the wrong conclusion.
"Did she say something yesterday, Eli?" he asks, and Eli's head shoots up. It's dark red.
"Uh, no... Not that I know of. She- um... I gotta go," he says quickly and then disappears as well.
"Okay, what the hell is wrong with my two best friends?" wonders Demetri, and Miguel just shakes his head.
"Demetri, one piece of advice. Read the room..." Miguel slaps him on the shoulder and then goes to his class.
Tumblr media
Lia avoids Eli for the rest of the day. She also doesn't want to see Demetri, so she goes outside at noon, where they never are anyway.
After school, she takes her cell phone and writes a message in the group chat of the four.
Nerdings Group Chat
Lia C u @ the dance.
Miguel Want someone to pick u up?
Demetri My mom is driving me...
Eli writes...
Lia Nope, I'm good. C u there!
She throws her cell phone into her bag and then gets into her car to drive home. She throws her school bag into a corner when she arrives home and then flops down on the sofa.
"Honey, is that you?" she hears her mother call from the kitchen.
"Yes, Mom," she calls back, and her mother enters the living room.
"I got your costume, baby. It looks amazing," her mother says as she looks at her. "What's up with you?"
"Nothing," Lia grumbles, burying her face in a pillow.
Her mother hangs the costume on a hook and sits next to her on the sofa. "Come on, Lia. Talk to me," her mother says sweetly.
Lia and her mother have a great relationship, and Lia tells her mother everything. That's why she now sits up straight and looks at her mother. She immediately notices that her daughter has light tears in her eyes.
"It's - it's about Eli," she almost whispers.
Her mother raises an eyebrow. "What about him?"
"Well, I went over to him yesterday, as you know, and then, well - we kissed," Lia tells her, and an excited expression shows on her mother's face.
"You did? Finally! Oh, honey, that's great! I told you he likes you."
"Yeah, but then today... He just stood there and couldn't even look at me, mom!" Lia ruffles her hair and drops back into the sofa.
"Oh, baby. Don't think too much about it, okay? You know how he is. He's shy and not used to it, sweetheart."
"You think I don't know that? He's my best friend, but... I just thought... It's just so frustrating. He told me that he likes me."
"And how couldn't he?" Lia's mom takes her hand in hers. "Okay, listen to me. I got your costume, and we will make you the most beautiful girl tonight that he can't even not look at you. What you say?"
Lia looks at her mother, and a smile creeps onto her face. "Fine..."
"All right, come on!"
Tumblr media
Miguel has just arrived at the school when he sees Demetri and Eli. He walks up to them, and Demetri immediately examines his costume.
"Oh, skeleton. Classic. Nice," he says.
"Thanks. I like your sorcerer costume," Miguel returns, and Demetri looks at him with amusement.
"Sorcerer? Please. I'm a necromancer."
"What?" asks Miguel, irritated.
"Didn't you see the amulet?" asks Demetri, and Miguel shakes his head before turning to Eli.
"So are you a regular doctor, or--" he asks.
"Plastic surgeon. I fix lips," Eli says, probably trying to make a joke out of it, but somehow it doesn't come off as planned.
"Nice," is all Miguel says, then looks around. "Has anyone seen Lia?" He looks at Eli, but he just looks away, slightly embarrassed.
"Not yet," Demetri then says.
Shortly after, a car pulls up, and Lia gets out. Her friends spot her immediately. She smiles at them as she says goodbye to her mother.
Eli's mouth is open. Lia looks beautiful. He missed her all day, and now he sees her again. Dressed up as Marilyn Monroe. She is wearing her famous white dress, and her blonde hair is also styled like Marilyn's.
"Wow," Eli breathes, and Miguel looks at him with a grin.
Lia walks up to the guys and smiles at them. "Hey, guys. What's up? Cool costumes!" she says.
Eli is still staring at her. Lia, of course, notices this too, and she also looks at him.
"Wow, Lia. Awesome costume! You look amazing, don't you think, Eli?" Miguel then asks, and Lia gives him a slightly annoyed look.
"I-I um... Y-yeah... Y-you, look-," Eli stammers to himself, causing Lia to blush.
"Okay, you wanna go in?" Lia then asks, saving Eli from the situation.
The three boys nod, and they go in together. Inside is already very busy, and many of the students are already dancing as well.
"I get us something to drink," Lia then says and disappears before Miguel immediately turns to Eli.
"Dude, you need to ask her to dance!"
"What? I-I can't..." the latter stammers, but Miguel doesn't put up with anything.
"Yes, you do! She likes you, and you know it, and she looks damn hot today. If you don't dance with her, someone else might will. You want that?"
"N-no..."
"See! So do it!"
At that moment, Lia returns and presses a punch into each of the boys' hands. Then they stand there for a moment, looking out into the crowd. Lia keeps looking sadly at her hands, as Eli still isn't really paying attention to her.
Miguel slowly gets fed up and nudges Eli. "We will go and ask these girls over there to dance..." he says, long drawn out, and Eli looks briefly at Lia, who didn't catch it. Then he takes a deep breath and takes a step towards Lia.
"Um, L-Lia?" he asks, and she turns to face him.
"Yeah?"
"W-would you-? I mean- would you like to, um, dance, maybe?" he asks uncertainly, and warmth spreads through Lia. Finally.
She smiles at Eli, sets her punch on a table, and then holds out a hand to him. He takes her hand, and the two walk out onto the dance floor while Eli looks again briefly at Demetri and Miguel and raises his thumb.
Eli and Lia start moving to the beat of the music, and he is glad that, for once, no one is staring at him today because of his scar. His mask prevents that.
"What are you thinking about?" Lia then asks.
"Oh, nothing," he says quickly, seeing her slightly disappointed face. "Y-you look beautiful, by the way," he finally brings to his lips, making Lia smile.
"Thank you. I like your costume. Even though I would love to see your whole face," she says, and Eli lowers his gaze. "You don't have to be ashamed in front of me, you know."
She raises her hand and then gently grabs his mask before slowly pulling it down, giving him enough time to hold it off.
"Better," she smiles before wrapping her arms around his neck again. For a moment, the two dance without talking.
"I kinda missed you today," Eli says after a while, and Lia looks at him in surprise. She didn't expect something like that out of his mouth.
"Um, I was... I wasn't actually sure that you wanted to see me, to be honest. Since you couldn't even look at me this morning," she says, and he looks away, embarrassed.
"I'm sorry, Lia. It wasn't because of you! I-I meant what I said yesterday. But this morning - I panicked. I was just so scared of what everyone was going to say. Not about me, but about you."
Lia smiles gently. "How many times do I have to tell you, Eli? You don't need to worry about me." She leans forward slightly, but then her cell phone rings, but it seems not just hers.
Lia takes it forward and looks at the message she just received. It's a video of Aisha standing at the buffet eating. Lia's heart almost slips into her pants.
"Oh no," she mutters, showing the video to Eli.
"Why are they keep doing that?" he asks, and Lia shakes her head.
"I don't know."
"Hey guys, we're going to the bathroom real quick," Demetri then says, walking up to them. Eli nods and says he has to as well, and Miguel goes along as well.
"All right, I'm waiting over there," Lia calls after them, walking to a corner and then typing away on her phone.
A little later, Eli and Demetri come running.
"What's going on?" asks Lia immediately, looking at the two faces.
"Kyler," Demetri gasps, pointing to the restrooms.
"What? Where's Miguel?" Lia asks immediately, and the two just look at her. "You two are unbelievable!" Furious, she pushes past them and runs toward the restrooms when she suddenly comes face to face with Kyler. She comes to a skidding halt.
"Well, would you look at that? The nerd-bitch," he says, and Lia glares at him. "What are you doing here? Looking for your little boyfriend? Or are you prefer to keep sucking on that weird kid's lip?"
"Shut your mouth Kyler," she growls. "Where is Miguel? What did you do to him?"
Kyler, however, ignores Lia and walks past her, not without bumping into her again, of course. Lia doesn't wait for a second longer and runs into the bathroom.
"Miguel!" she immediately shouts when she sees him sitting there. He's completely beaten up and bleeding in various places. "Shit! Those assholes!" Lia curses and helps Miguel get up. "Come on. I'll get you out of here."
She supports Miguel outside, where Eli and Demetri meet them.
"Holy shit," Demetri says, looking at Miguel. "Dude, you look bad."
"Yeah, and why is that?" asks Lia, giving him a dirty look. "You just left him. Come on, Miguel, I'll take you home."
She and Miguel take a few steps as Eli joins them.
"I'm sorry, Lia," he says immediately.
"You should be," is all she says, continuing to support Miguel.
"I-I have a car here... I can drive you," Eli then says, and Lia stops.
"I think that wouldn't be a bad idea," Miguel says, still in pain.
"Fine," Lia says, and they walk to Eli's car. He gets in, and Lia helps Miguel into the passenger seat, but he stops briefly.
"Don't be too hard on him, okay? He was just scared," Miguel says, and Lia looks at him for a moment before rolling her eyes.
"Fine..."
When they stop at Miguel's, he gets out. Lia unbuckles and is about to follow him when Eli holds her back.
"Lia... I'm really sorry! I just..."
"It's okay, Eli," she says immediately, interrupting him. "I didn't mean to be so harsh on you." She smiles at him briefly before following Miguel and helping him.
Cautiously, Lia knocks on the door. A woman with dark curls and a friendly face opens the door.
"Yes? What can I do f-," she begins, then spots Miguel. "Miggy! Oh my god!" she quickly takes him from Lia and brings him inside. Lia helps her while Eli waits outside the door. "What happened?" asks Miguel's mother immediately.
"Some kids at school went after him," Lia explains, looking at Miguel's mom.
"It's okay, Mom," Miguel says, shrugging. She gets up and immediately goes to the freezer to get a bag of frozen peas.
"But why did they go after you? Was it because of this stupid karate?" asks Miguel's mother, looking at Lia.
"Uh, no, Mrs. Diaz, not particularly anyway. They are just... Bullies." Lia stands up and holds out her hand. "I'm Lia, by the way. A friend of Miguel's and at the door, that's Eli."
Mrs. Diaz looks from Lia to Eli and then smiles briefly before turning back to Miguel. "Miggy, this really needs to stop. Do you hear me? I can't have it. You come home all the time with a black eye and bruises."
"Sorry, Mrs. Diaz. Miguel, I think we will leave. See you tomorrow Miguel."
They say goodbye to each other, not without Mrs. Diaz thanking Lia again.
Outside, Lia gets into Eli's car. For a moment, they stand in the parking lot, saying nothing. Lia looks down at her lap, where she has her hands folded.
"Were you really angry with me?" asks Eli after a while, and Lia looks over at him.
"A little. And a little disappointed," she says, and it hurts Eli. He didn't think those words coming out of her mouth could hurt him so much. "Miguel is our friend. We must stand up for our friends and not leave them hanging." Eli lowers his head. "But I get why you did it. You are no fighter, Eli. I get that. Maybe - maybe it won't be that bad to accept Miguel's proposal and check out this dojo."
Eli looks at Lia in surprise. "I'm really sorry, Lia. I don't know what else to say."
Lia looks at him again. "It's all right. Water under the bridge, okay?" Eli nods and then looks at the steering wheel. "Would you take me home?" she asks, and Eli immediately nods.
"Yes, sure, sorry."
The ride is silent. When Eli pulls up in front of Lia's house, she unbuckles her seatbelt and then looks at him. "I guess I'll see you tomorrow."
Eli nods, and Lia gets out. Slowly, she walks toward her front door and is surprised that she doesn't hear the engine yet.
"Lia!"
She turns around, and Eli comes running toward her. He takes her face in his hands and then kisses her passionately. Lia puts her hands on his middle and kisses him back.
"I love you, Lia," Eli then breathes against her lips, and she tears her eyes open.
"What?"
"I love you." He kisses her again. "And I... I really wanna be with you, Lia. Like - like boyfriend and girlfriend, maybe?"
"Oh my god... I love you, too. But, you really want that?" asks Lia, and Eli nods.
"Yeah, I think so. But, um... You know... I don't know if I can do the whole..."
Lia laughs. "I gotcha," she says, then kisses him again. "See you tomorrow, boyfriend." She steps inside and slowly closes the door.
"See you tomorrow, girlfriend," he whispers, smiling.
