The echo of classical music fills the rehearsal room as you glide your feet precisely over the wooden floor. Each movement is calculated, each turn a work of art. Ballet is not just a passion; it’s your life, your discipline, your refuge.
You don’t notice his presence until the melody fades, and silence envelops you.
“I didn’t know you did this,” his deep, confident voice resonates in the room. You turn abruptly and find him leaning in the doorway, arms crossed, his posture relaxed but with that intense look in his eyes.
Kwon, one of Cobra Kai’s most feared fighters. His style is aggressive, merciless, and yet, here he is, watching you as if he’s never seen something so impressive in his life.
“What are you doing here?” you ask, trying to hide your surprise.
“I was passing by the hallway and heard the music,” he responds without taking his eyes off you. “I didn’t imagine you… danced ballet.”
“And I didn’t imagine you cared.”
He raises an eyebrow, amused.
“I don’t usually waste my time on nonsense. But this… this is different.”
You cross your arms.
“Different how?”
He shrugs.
“You’re good. Really good. It’s… impressive.”
You didn’t expect that kind of compliment from him. Kwon’s not the type to hand out praise.
“If you like it so much, do you want to try it?”
He lets out a low chuckle.
“No, thanks. I prefer real fights.”
“Oh, sure. Because ballet isn’t demanding or doesn’t require strength or control.”
His expression changes slightly. You know you’ve touched his pride.
“Are you saying ballet is harder than karate?”
“I’m saying it requires more discipline than you think.”
The defiant glint in his eyes is unmistakable.
“Prove it to me.”
A smile forms on your lips.
“Alright, Cobra Kai. Let’s see if you can keep up.”
You approach and take his hand, positioning him in the correct posture. His muscles tense under your touch, but he doesn’t pull away.
“First, balance,” you say. “Relevé.”
You show him how to rise onto the tips of his toes. Kwon tries to imitate you but barely manages to stay up for a few seconds before he stumbles.
“Damn…” he mutters, frowning.
You laugh.
“Giving up that quickly? I thought Cobra Kai never dies.”
His gaze sharpens.
“I don’t give up.”
He tries again, this time staying up a bit longer. You feel his determination in every fiber of his being, and for a moment, you’re surprised at how much he wants to impress you.
“Not bad,” you admit, still holding his arm. “Now, try a spin.”
“You want me to do pirouettes?”
“Come on, Jae-Sung. Just one try.”
He sighs but follows your instructions. He spins awkwardly, almost losing his balance. Instinctively, you grab him before he falls, and in that instant, the closeness between you two becomes evident.
His breath is heavy, his dark eyes fixed on yours.
“This is harder than I thought,” he murmurs.
“Told you.”
His hand remains on your waist, and the heat radiating from his skin sends a shiver down your spine. There’s something different in his expression. Something you didn’t expect.
“You’re incredible.”
His voice is low, almost like a secret. And before you can respond, his gaze falls to your lips, and suddenly, ballet isn’t the only thing that has him captivated.
His gaze, intense and dark, stays locked on yours, and for the first time, there’s no arrogance in his expression. Just something raw, something genuine.
“Why are you looking at me like that?” you whisper, feeling your heart race.
“I don’t know,” he replies softly, but the way his eyes briefly flick to your lips says otherwise.
You feel like you should pull away, break the tension, make some sarcastic remark to ease the awkwardness of the moment. But you don’t. Because deep down, a part of you is enjoying this.
“Still want to learn ballet?” you ask, trying to steer the conversation back to safer ground.
“No.”
“No?”
“I’m not interested in ballet,” he says, and his tone makes your stomach do a flip. “I’m interested in you.”
The impact of his words hits you with the same force as a well-executed kick on the tatami.
“W-what?” you stammer, blinking in disbelief.
He offers a slight smile, that typical half-smirk of Kwon Jae-Sung that appears when he knows he has the upper hand.
“Don’t act surprised. I’ve liked you for a while.”
Your brain momentarily shuts down. Since when? How did you not notice?
“You’re joking…” you murmur, but your voice sounds more like a plea than a statement.
“Do I look like someone who jokes about this?”
No, he doesn’t.
Kwon Jae-Sung never does anything without intention, and if there’s one thing he’s proven in all the fights he’s won, it’s that he never enters a battle without being sure of his victory.
And now? Now his gaze tells you he’s completely sure of how he feels.
You take a step back, trying to put some distance between you, but he doesn’t let go.
“Kwon…”
“You don’t have to say anything,” he interrupts, his tone softer than ever. “Just tell me if I have a chance.”
The question hangs in the air.
You look at his face, the sharp features, the dark, deep eyes, the way his jaw tightens with a mixture of anticipation and nervousness. You never thought you’d see Kwon like this, as someone vulnerable.
And then, without thinking too much about it, you take his hand and intertwine your fingers with his.
“Maybe.”
His expression changes. First, surprise. Then, satisfaction.
“Maybe, huh?”
“If you can do a decent pirouette… maybe more than that.”
Kwon lets out a laugh, and for the first time tonight, you see his full smile. It’s sincere, without arrogance or mockery.
“That sounds like a challenge.”
“It is."
“Alright.”
Kwon isn’t someone who accepts defeat easily. If he were, he wouldn’t be where he is, wouldn’t be one of the most lethal fighters. But this time, his fight isn’t on a tatami, it’s in a dance studio, and instead of punches and kicks, he’s fighting against balance and the precision of a spin.
And against his own heart, because, to be honest, he’s never felt this out of control as when he’s with you.
You step back, crossing your arms as you watch him prepare. His posture is stiff, clearly more used to being firm and on guard than to the fluidity of movement.
“Relax,” you advise with a playful smile. “This isn’t a fight, Jae-Sung.”
“For me, everything’s a fight.”
He says it with his usual confident tone, but this time, there’s something more. Something deeper.
You take a deep breath and approach him again, gently resting your hands on his shoulders. You feel the tension in his body, the way he stiffens under your touch. But he doesn’t pull away.
“You don’t need brute strength here,” you whisper. “Just let go.”
Your hands slide down his arms and then to his hands, guiding him into the correct posture. Kwon stays silent, his eyes locked on you, his breathing slightly heavier than usual.
“Like this?” he asks, his voice quieter than usual.
You nod.
“Now spin.”
He tries it. And, for his first real attempt, it’s not that bad. Although, of course, his spin ends up being a bit rougher than it should be, his balance still not quite there.
“Damn…” he murmurs, frowning as he steadies himself.
You can’t help but let out a laugh.
“That’s not exactly the attitude of a champion, Kwon.”
He shoots you a sharp look, but there’s something playful in it.
“Give me a week, and I’ll be better than you.”
“Oh, sure. Like that’s possible."
“Don’t doubt it. I don’t lose.”
He says it with that confidence that makes him so Kwon. But what you don’t expect is what happens next.
Suddenly, without warning, he grabs your wrist and pulls you towards him. Not roughly, but with enough firmness that you end up pressed against his chest.
Your breath stops.
“What… what are you doing?” you murmur, all too aware of the heat of his skin even through the fabric of his shirt.
“If I can’t do it alone… then teach me like this.”
And before you can protest, his hands rest on your waist. His fingers are firm, but gentle, as if he still can’t believe he’s really touching you.
“Let’s spin together.”
Your heart beats fast, but you manage to keep your composure.
“Alright… but if you step on my toes, I swear I’ll put you in a hold.”
He smiles.
“I accept the risk.”
And then, you spin.
This time, there’s no awkwardness in him. No roughness. It’s just him following you, letting himself be guided, trusting you. And for a brief moment, it’s as if everything disappears. There’s no karate, no ballet, no rivalry. Just the two of you.
When the spin ends, you both stand still, still too close.
“That… was better,” Kwon murmurs, but his voice sounds distracted.
Maybe because his eyes are on your lips again.
And this time, he doesn’t try to hide it.
You don’t have time to process it before he closes the distance between you two.
It’s a firm, sure kiss, but at the same time, restrained. As if he’s measuring the intensity, as if he’s waiting for you to stop him. But you don’t.
Because, against all logic, against all the differences between you, against all odds…
You want this too.
And when your hands slide up his chest and entangle in his neck, when you respond to his kiss with the same intensity, Kwon smiles against your lips.
Because this time, he knows the victory is his.

my ex's best friend (part three) | Axel Kovačević x Fem! Reader
Summary: The weekend is over and you and Axel come face to face with the outside world. That happens to include your ex-boyfriend, and Axel's best friend.
Word Count: 4.5k Warnings: None, angst, fluff
part one | part two
gif is not mine
Monday morning comes too fast, the weekend with Axel feeling like a dream as you walk through the school's main entrance.
The hallways buzz with the usual chaos of lockers slamming, friends calling out greetings, the perpetual background noise of several hundred teenagers trying to delay first period as long as possible.
You spot Tory by your locker, her eyebrows shooting up the moment she sees you.
"Well, well, well," she says, folding her arms across her chest. "Look who finally decided to answer their texts."
"Sorry," you say, unable to keep the smile from your face as you spin your combination. "I was... busy."
"Busy," Tory repeats, drawing out the word knowingly. "With a certain tall, moody, Croatian, perhaps?"
Heat rises to your cheeks as you busy yourself with exchanging books from your backpack.
"Maybe." You twist the dial on your locker, not meeting her eyes. "It was a good weekend."
"A good weekend?" Tory presses, her voice rising with excitement. "Bitch, you disappeared for two days after leaving a party with Axel Kovačević. I need details. Lots of them."
You finally look at her, unable to keep the smile from spreading across your face. "We had dinner at that Italian place by the mall on Saturday. And he took me to the beach yesterday. We watched the sunset."
"And?" Tory prompts, leaning closer. "What about the stuff between dinner and sunset?"
You feel your cheeks warm as memories flash through your mind—tangled sheets, his accent thickening as he whispered your name, his hands mapping every inch of your body.
"A lady doesn't kiss and tell," you say primly, shutting your locker closed.
Tory rolls her eyes dramatically.
"Fine, be mysterious. But that smile tells me everything I need to know." She bumps your shoulder playfully. "I haven't seen you look this happy in months."
Before you can respond, the warning bell rings, signaling seven minutes until first period.
"I've got to get to Calculus," Tory says, already backing away. "But this conversation isn't over!" She points at you with mock seriousness before disappearing into the crowd.
You shake your head, smiling as you gather your books for English. The hallway is thinning out as students reluctantly head to their classes.
You're about to do the same when a familiar voice calls out to you.
"Hey, beautiful."
Your heart does a little flip as you turn to see Axel leaning against the lockers a few feet away.
He's wearing a simple ashy grey t-shirt over another white shirt, falling over his muscular body beautifully. His dark blue eyes light up when they meet yours, making your stomach flutter with butterflies.
It's only been a few hours since you've seen him (since he reluctantly left your house last night with promises to see you today), but somehow it feels longer.
"Hey yourself," you reply, unable to keep the smile from your face.
He pushes off the lockers and crosses the distance between you in a few long strides. The hallway is nearly empty now, most students already in their classrooms.
Axel reaches for your hand, his fingers intertwining with yours with a casual intimacy that still feels new and thrilling. His thumb traces small circles on your skin, sending pleasant shivers up your arm.
"I missed you," he says, his voice low enough that only you can hear. His accent wraps around the words, making them sound like a secret shared between just the two of you.
"It's been twelve hours," you point out, though you can't keep the smile from tugging at your lips.
"Twelve hours too long," he replies, his eyes never leaving yours.
His free hand comes up to cup your cheek, thumb brushing against your skin with a tenderness that makes your heart stutter.
"I've been thinking about you all morning," he confesses, his voice dropping even lower. "About yesterday. About Friday night."
The mention of Friday night sends heat rushing to your cheeks as memories flood your mind—his hands on your body, his lips against your skin, the way he looked at you like you were the only girl in this world.
"We're going to be late for class," you grin, though you make no move to step away.
Axel glances at the nearly empty hallway, then back at you, a mischievous glint appearing in his eyes. "I have a better idea."
Before you can ask what he means, his hand tightens around yours, and he's pulling you down the corridor, away from your first-period classroom
Axel pulls you around a corner, his pace quickening as he checks over his shoulder to make sure no teachers are watching.
Your heart races with the thrill of breaking rules, of following him blindly through the emptying hallways.
"Where are we going?" you whisper-laugh as he leads you down a corridor you rarely use.
"Patience," he murmurs, that accent making even simple words sound like a caress.
His hand is warm around yours, his grip firm but gentle as he navigates the maze of hallways. Finally, he stops in front of the door to the old music practice room.
With a quick glance in both directions, Axel tries the handle. It gives with a soft click.
"How did you know this would be open?" you ask as he pulls you inside, closing the door behind him.
"Old habits," Axel says with a wink, pulling you further into the small room. "I used to come here during study hall last year. Nobody ever checks it."
The practice room is small, maybe twelve feet square, with soundproofing panels lining the walls.
A dusty upright piano sits in one corner, sheet music still perched on the stand as if waiting for a student who never returned.
The blinds are drawn over the single window, casting the room in a soft, diffused light.
"So," you say, raising an eyebrow as Axel locks the door behind you. "You brought me to a secret room to... practice scales?"
He laughs, the sound rich and warm in the small space. In one fluid motion, he pulls you against him, his hands settling at your waist.
The heat of his palms seeps through your shirt, making your skin tingle.
"I had something a bit different in mind," Axel murmurs, his voice dropping to that low register that never fails to send shivers down your spine.
His hands slide up your sides, one coming to rest at the small of your back while the other cups your face.
His thumb traces your bottom lip softly, his dark orbs tracking the movement with an intensity that makes your breath catch.
"Like what?" you ask, though you already know the answer, can feel it in the way his body leans into yours, in the heat of his palm against your cheek.
Instead of answering, Axel bends down, his lips meeting yours in a kiss that starts gentle but quickly deepens.
You melt against him, your books dropping forgotten to the floor as your hands find their way into his light brown hair, fingers tangling in the soft strands.
His hands are restless now, sliding from your waist to your hips, then back up again, fingers slipping under the hem of your shirt to touch the bare skin of your back.
You gasp into his mouth at the contact, your own hands gripping his shoulders tighter.
His lips leave yours to trail hot kisses down your neck, finding that sensitive spot just below your ear that he discovered this weekend.
The gentle scrape of his teeth against your skin has you tilting your head to give him better access, a soft moan escaping your lips.
"I couldn't stop thinking about you all night," Axel murmurs against your skin, his accent thicker with desire. "Couldn't sleep after I left your place."
"Me neither," you admit breathlessly as his hands continue to explore.
His hands slide up under your shirt, fingertips tracing patterns on your bare skin that make you shiver despite the warmth of the small room.
Your back presses against the wall as Axel's body covers yours completely, his height making you feel deliciously small beneath him.
"I wanted to see you before class," he whispers against your neck, his breath hot against your skin. "Couldn't wait until lunch."
You laugh softly, your hands slipping under his shirt to feel the warm skin of his back. "So you decided to make us both late instead?"
"Exactly," he murmurs, capturing your lips again in a kiss that steals your breath.
His tongue traces the seam of your lips, seeking entrance that you gladly grant. The kiss deepens, becoming something hungry and desperate that has heat pooling low in your belly.
You're about to respond when a noise from the hallway catches your attention—footsteps approaching, then pausing outside the door.
You both freeze, eyes locking in a moment of shared panic. Axel's hands still beneath your shirt, his body going tense against yours.
The doorknob rattles, and you hold your breath, heart hammering in your chest.
"Locked," comes a muffled voice from the other side. A familiar voice that makes your blood run cold.
Miguel.
"I thought you said he'd be in here," another voice says—probably Hawk.
"He usually hides out in here when he wants to be alone," Miguel insists, his voice clearer now. "I need to talk to him about this whole ‘Y/n’ thing. Robby swore he saw them leaving together."
Your eyes lock with Axel's in the dim light of the practice room, panic coursing through your veins.
His hands slide from beneath your shirt, but he doesn't move away, instead pressing his finger to his lips in a silent plea for quiet.
"Let me try calling him," Miguel says, his voice muffled through the door.
Axel's eyes widen, and he frantically pats his pockets. The color drains from his face as his hand closes around the shape of his phone in his back pocket.
You both realize the danger at the same moment, if Miguel calls, Axel's phone will give you away.
In the hushed stillness of the practice room, you can hear Miguel's voice clearly. "It's ringing."
Axel fumbles with his phone, desperately trying to silence it before the inevitable happens.
His fingers fumble with the volume buttons, but it's already too late.
The ringtone is deafening in the small practice room, bouncing off the soundproofing panels that were designed to contain music, not hide teenagers skipping class.
Your heart nearly stops as silence falls in the hallway. You can practically picture Miguel and Hawk freezing, heads turning toward the door like predators catching a scent.
"He's in there," Miguel says, his voice hardening with certainty.
The doorknob rattles again, more forcefully this time. "Axel! I know you're in there, man. Open up!"
Axel's eyes meet yours, panic giving way to resignation. His thumb hovers over the red decline button, hesitating for just a moment.
Then, with a resigned sigh, he silences the call. You hear Hawk excuse himself, saying he needed to meet his own girlfriend before class.
"What do we do?" you whisper, panic rising in your chest as Miguel pounds on the door again.
Axel runs a hand through his hair, as he makes a decision. "There's nowhere to hide in here. I have to face him."
Your stomach drops at his words. "Both of us?"
He studies your face for a moment, his expression softening. "No. You stay behind the door when I open it. He won't be able to see you right away."
"Axel!" Miguel's voice comes again, louder and more insistent. "Open the damn door!"
"Just a second!" Axel calls back, his accent slightly more pronounced with stress. He turns back to you, cupping your face in both hands.
His eyes search yours, an apology already forming in them.
"I'm sorry," he whispers, pressing a quick kiss to your forehead. "This isn't how I wanted things to go."
You nod, understanding but terrified. Your heart pounds so loudly you're certain Miguel can hear it through the door.
Axel gives your hand one last reassuring squeeze before gently maneuvering you behind the door.
With a deep breath, Axel unlocks the door and pulls it open just enough to reveal himself in the gap, his tall frame effectively blocking the view into the room.
You press yourself against the wall behind the door, holding your breath, praying Miguel won't try to push his way inside.
"What the hell, man?" Miguel's voice is sharp with irritation. His eyes narrow as he takes in Axel's disheveled appearance—hair mussed from your fingers, lips slightly swollen from your kisses.
"Dude, I've been looking everywhere for you," he continues, trying to peer past Axel's shoulder into the practice room. "Why aren't you answering your phone?"
"I was busy," Axel replies, his voice cool and collected despite the tension radiating from his body.
You can see the muscles in his back tighten beneath his t-shirt as he maintains his position in the doorway, effectively blocking Miguel's view.
"Busy?" Miguel repeats, suspicion creeping into his voice. "Busy doing what exactly?"
"Thinking," Axel says simply. "I come here sometimes when I need space."
You hear Miguel scoff. "Right. And that's why you locked the door.”
"Forgive me for wanting a moment to myself," Axel says, his accent thickening with irritation. "What's so urgent anyway?"
Miguel runs a hand through his hair, a gesture of frustration you recognize all too well from your time together. His jaw clenches as he takes a step closer to the door.
"Robby told me something interesting about the party Friday night," Miguel says, his voice dropping lower. "Said he saw you leaving with Y/n."
Your heart stops in your chest, blood turning to ice in your veins. Behind the door, you press yourself harder against the wall, as if you could somehow disappear into it.
"And?" Axel's voice remains impressively steady, though you can see the tension in his shoulders.
"She’s my ex and you’re my best friend. I want to know if it's true," Miguel presses, an edge creeping into his voice. "Did you leave with her?"
Axel hesitates, and in that fleeting moment of uncertainty, his eyes instinctively flick toward where you're hidden.
It's barely a glance, just the briefest shift of his gaze, but it's enough. Miguel catches it instantly, his years of karate training having honed his ability to read body language.
His eyes narrow, following Axel's line of sight to the space behind the door.
"Who's in there with you?" Miguel demands, his voice hardening as he takes a step forward.
Axel's hand tightens on the door frame, his knuckles turning white. "Miguel, listen—"
But Miguel is already moving, using his shoulder to push past Axel's tall frame. The door swings wide, and suddenly you're exposed, pressed against the wall with nowhere to hide.
Time seems to freeze as Miguel's eyes find yours.
Miguel's eyes widen, a flurry of emotions crossing his face in rapid succession—shock, confusion, hurt, and finally, anger.
The silence that follows feels endless, the three of you frozen in a tableau that nobody knows how to break.
"You've got to be kidding me," Miguel finally says, his voice dangerously quiet.
His gaze flicks between you and Axel, connecting dots you can see forming in his mind. "This is why you've been acting weird all weekend?"
Axel steps forward, positioning himself slightly between you and Miguel.
"It's not what you think," he says, though the words sound hollow even to your ears.
"Really?" Miguel's laugh is harsh, devoid of any humor. "Because what I think is that my best friend has been hooking up with my ex behind my back."
"Seriously?" The word escapes your lips before you can stop it, sharper than you intended. "Don't be such a hypocrite, Miguel."
His eyes snap to yours, narrowing slightly. "What's that supposed to mean?"
You take a step forward, feeling something inside you shift. For months, you've avoided confrontation, avoided him, avoided everything that reminded you of how it ended.
But standing here now, with Axel's steady presence beside you, something crystallizes in your chest—a certainty, a strength you'd forgotten you possessed.
"It means," you say, your voice gaining confidence with each word, "that you started dating my best friend literally the minute we broke up."
Miguel's expression falters, a flash of guilt crossing his features before he masks it with indignation. "That's different."
"Is it?" You cross your arms, standing your ground. "You and Sam were together two weeks after we broke up. Two weeks."
The pain of that betrayal resurfaces, but this time it doesn't cut as deep. "You didn't even have the decency to tell me yourself. I had to find out from Tory."
Miguel at least has the grace to look away, his jaw working as he struggles for a response. "That was... I should have handled that better."
"You think?" Your voice rises slightly, years of bottled emotions finally finding release. "And you know what? You never even apologized. Not once. You just expected everyone to move on, to accept that you and Sam were together, like I was supposed to be fine with it."
"I didn't—"
"You didn't what?" you challenge, your voice steady despite the emotions swirling inside you. "You didn't think about how it would feel for me? You didn't consider that maybe, just maybe, your actions would hurt someone who cared about you?"
Miguel shifts uncomfortably, his gaze dropping to the floor for a moment before meeting yours again. "Look, what happened between us—"
"Is in the past," you finish for him, your voice softer now but no less firm. "And what I do now, who I choose to be with now, is none of your business."
Axel's hand finds yours, his fingers intertwining with yours in a silent show of support. The gesture isn't lost on Miguel, whose eyes narrow as they fix on your joined hands.
"How long has this been going on?" His voice hardens as anger begins to replace shock. "How long have you been seeing her behind my back?"
You feel Axel tense beside you, his tall frame straightening as Miguel's accusation hangs in the air. The practice room suddenly feels too small for the three of you, the tension thickening with each passing second.
"It's not like that," Axel begins, his accent more pronounced with emotion. "It just happened."
Miguel's eyes darken as they shift to Axel, his former friend now standing tall beside you. "So what, man? You've just been waiting in the wings all this time, watching for your chance?"
You feel Axel tense beside you, his fingers tightening slightly around yours. His jaw clenches, a muscle ticking along his cheekbone as he struggles to maintain his composure.
"It wasn't like that," Axel says, his accent thickening with emotion. "I never planned—"
"Save it," Miguel cuts him off, stepping closer, his hands balling into fists at his sides. "I trusted you.”
He walks past the both of you, avoiding eye contact, leaving you and Axel alone in the room.
You begin to feel the guilt eat at you, as you watch Axel run a hand through his hair.
Miguel and Axel have been friends since they were kids, and now you questioned if you stood in the way of that.
"You should go talk to him," you murmur, glancing down at your feet.
Axel turns to you, his blue eyes softening as he takes in your worried expression.
He reaches out, tucking a strand of hair behind your ear with gentle fingers. The simple touch sends warmth cascading through you despite the tension still hanging in the air.
"He needs time," Axel says, his accent wrapping around the words like a caress. "Going after him now would only make things worse."
You bite your lower lip, guilt gnawing at your insides. "I didn't mean to come between you two. You've been friends forever and I—"
"Hey," Axel interrupts gently, one hand moving to tilt your chin up, forcing you to meet his gaze. "This isn't your fault. None of it."
"But—"
"No," he says firmly, his thumb caressing the bottom of your face.. "This is between Miguel and me. We'll figure it out. But I need you to understand something."
His eyes hold yours with an intensity that makes your breath catch.
"I don't regret this," he says, his voice low but firm. "I don't regret us. Not for a second."
Something warm unfurls in your chest at his words, chasing away some of the guilt and uncertainty. His hand moves to cup your cheek, thumb tracing small circles against your skin.
"I've waited too long to be with you," he continues, the emotion evident in his voice. "Miguel will be angry for a while. He has that right. But eventually, he'll understand."
"Are you sure?" you ask, leaning into his touch.
"One hundred percent," he states.
The bell for first period rings in the distance, its shrill sound barely penetrating the thick walls of the practice room.
You glance toward the door, reality intruding on the bubble you and Axel have created.
"We should probably get to class," you say, reluctance evident in your voice. "We're already late."
Axel nods, though he makes no move to step away from you. His hand slides from your cheek to the nape of your neck, fingers tangling gently in your hair.
"Let me walk you to class," he murmurs, reluctantly stepping back from you. "At least we can stretch these last few minutes together."
You gather your books from where they fell to the floor earlier, straightening your clothes as best you can.
Axel runs his fingers through his hair, attempting to fix the mess your hands made of it.
As you reach for the door handle, Axel's hand covers yours, stopping you. You look up to find his eyes searching yours, something vulnerable flickering in their blue depths.
"Are you okay?" he asks softly. "With everything that just happened with Miguel?"
You take a deep breath, considering the question. The confrontation with Miguel was uncomfortable, painful even, but standing here with Axel, you feel surprisingly... light.
Like something that had been weighing you down has finally lifted.
"I'm okay," you say, and you're surprised to realize it's true.
"Actually, I'm more than okay." A smile spreads across your face, warmth blooming in your chest. "For months I've been hiding, Axel. Avoiding places, changing my routes to class, all to not run into Miguel and Sam. I've been making myself smaller, like I was the one who did something wrong."
You reach up, your fingers brushing his cheek. "But standing there, finally saying what I've wanted to say for so long... it felt right. Like I could finally breathe again."
Axel's eyes soften, his hand covering yours where it rests against his face.
"You never cease to amaze me," he says, his voice low and intimate in the small space between you. "I've always known how strong you are, but seeing you stand up to him like that..."
His admiration warms you from the inside out, making you stand a little taller.
"Do you know what the best part is?" you ask, a small smile playing at your lips.
Axel shakes his head, his eyes never leaving yours. "Tell me."
"I don't have to hide anymore," you say, your voice gaining confidence with each word. "And I don't have to hide this. Hide us."
Your hand slides from his cheek to rest against his chest, feeling his steady heartbeat beneath your palm.
Axel's eyes darken slightly at your words, something possessive flickering in their blue depths. His hand covers yours where it rests against his heart.
"No," he agrees, his accent thickening with emotion. "No more hiding."
His lips find yours in a kiss that feels like a promise. It's gentle but certain, warm and full of possibility.
Your body melts against his, the world outside this room momentarily forgotten.
When you finally pull apart, Axel's eyes are darker, his breathing slightly uneven. His thumb traces your bottom lip, which tingles pleasantly from his kiss.
"You know," Axel murmurs, his eyes roaming your face with undisguised appreciation, "seeing you put him in his place like that..." He pauses, his accent thickening as he searches for the right words.
You tilt your head, curious. "What about it?"
A slow smile spreads across his face, transforming his features from serious to playful in an instant, while his eyes hold a mischievous glint in them.
"It was incredibly hot," he admits, his voice dropping to that low register that sends shivers down your spine. His hands settle at your waist, drawing you closer. "Confidence looks good on you. A total turn-on, actually."
You laugh, shoving his shoulder playfully. "Is that so?"
"Absolutely," he says, not backing down. His fingers trace small circles against your hips as you look back towards the door, where the real world existed.
"We should go," he says reluctantly, though he makes no move to step away.
You nod, equally reluctant to break the moment. With a sigh, you reach for the door handle again, this time turning it and stepping into the now-empty hallway.
The bell has long since rung, marking you both firmly in the "late" category. Axel follows you out, carefully closing the practice room door behind him.
The hallway stretches before you, empty and quiet save for the distant sounds of teachers lecturing behind closed doors.
Your footsteps echo against the linoleum as Axel walks beside you, his tall frame casting a long shadow under the fluorescent lights.
The silence between you isn't uncomfortable, it's charged with everything that just happened, everything that's changed since Friday night.
"So," Axel says finally, his accent wrapping around the word as he shortens his long strides to match yours. "Which class are you missing right now?"
"Biology with Ms. Patel," you reply, clutching your books tighter to your chest. "She's going to kill me for being this late."
Axel's lips curve into that half-smile that still makes your heart skip. "Want me to write you a note? I can be very persuasive."
You laugh, the sound bouncing off the lockers lining the hallway. "Oh yeah? And what would this persuasive note say?"
"That you were helping a fellow student in distress," he suggests, eyes twinkling with mischief. "Or that you were conducting an important sound experiment in the music practice room."
"Very believable," you retort, bumping your shoulder against his arm playfully.
As you round the corner, the hallway widens, and you can see your biology classroom at the end of the corridor. Your steps slow involuntarily, reluctant to end this moment between you.
Axel seems to sense your hesitation, his own pace slowing to match yours. His hand brushes against yours, fingers lightly intertwining with your own in a touch that's both casual and intimate.
"I'll see you at lunch?" he asks, his voice soft in the empty hallway.
You nod, turning to face him fully as you reach the classroom door. "Meet you by the math wing?"
His smile widens, reaching his eyes in a way that makes your heart flutter. "I'll be waiting."
You're about to turn away when Axel's hand catches yours, pulling you back gently. Before you can react, he leans down, pressing a quick kiss to your lips right there in the empty hallway.
"For courage," he murmurs against your mouth.
Heat rises to your cheeks as you pull back, glancing nervously toward the classroom door. "Someone might see."
"Let them," Axel says simply, his blue eyes holding yours with quiet intensity. "No more hiding, remember?"
The confidence in his voice, the certainty in his gaze, makes something shift inside you. Like a weight you didn't even realize you’d been carrying finally lifts.
You squeeze his hand once before slowly letting go.
"Right," you breathe, a small smile tugging at your lips. "No more hiding."
Axel's grin returns, softer this time, proud. He steps back, giving you space to slip into your classroom, but not before your fingers brush once more in parting.
As the door clicks shut behind you, your pulse is still racing.
Because for the first time in a long time, it feels like you’re walking into the day with your head high, and your heart full.

Headcanons for being Johnny Lawrence’s daughter
Johnny Lawrence x daughter!reader
warnings: alcohol, underage drinking, classic johnny sexism <3
a/n: WHAT! ME write a fic thats not gn, i know. im shocked too but its just bc i feel johnny is so gender-stereotypey that doing this gn wouldn’t work very well but very open to a son!r or nb!r if anyone is interested (bc seriously. johnny cannot help but bring up genders). also i just want to say that a lot of this (not all!) honestly reminds me of or are actual things that have happened w my dad bc johnny is literally my dad if my dad was like 8 years older i think also i wrote this all in one sitting ALSO NO COBRA KAI SEASON 6 SPOILERS
prompt:
GIRL DAD!
you always kinda just gravitated toward living with your dad
“y/n, i’m so proud of you. i never have to worry about you. you can take care of yourself. robby on the other hand, i worry about him. i think girls are just more self sufficient” -johnny, a little drunk
“thanks dad” -you, also a little drunk (hes a “cool dad”)
he was the type of parent that “prefers that if you’re gonna do something stupid at least do it while he’s around” aka underage drinking
whenever he stays out late you fall asleep in his bed. and lock him out
“y/n! open the door!” -johnny, banging on the door
“no! your bed is more comfortable” -you
he thought it was sweet honestly but he did want to sleep in his bed
sort of like a lesson not to come home late all drunk and gross
he was VERY against letting you drive his car
“dad, i need my license!” -you
“no woman is getting behind the wheel of my firebird” -johnny
“why do you have to make it about women? i’ll fight you” -you
“you’ll lose that fight” -johnny
“oh, so you’d fight a teenage girl? wow, real classy, dad” -you
“no, but i’d fight my teenage daughter. i brought you into this world and i’ll take you out” -johnny
you honestly had a great sense of humor with johnny, but you’d check him if he said anything too messed up
“dad, it’s not the 80’s anymore, you can’t say that” -you
“dont tell me what i can and cant say! the 80’s were awesome, i wish it was the 80’s again” -johnny
“so i’ve heard” -you
he helped you with your homework as a kid until like, 2nd grade when multiplication and division got involved
he did teach you karate growing up! but mostly the basics, for self defense purposes
“hey, never let any guy try to impress you with his karate skills. he’s probably a douche” -johnny, pausing “i sure was”
late night movie marathons (70s/80s classics for sure)
he took care of you during your first hangover (high school parties, ya know)
“didn’t i teach you better than to mix liquors” -johnny
“ugghhhh” -you
yes, you have heard about daniel larusso. enough said LMAO
robby and you had a kind of sweet but distant relationship
occasional check-in texts
robby: are you doing okay with dad? he’s actually buying food and shit?
you: yeah! he’s fine right now, how’s mom? new stepdad yet? is he rich?
robby: mom’s not going anywhere she’d find a rich guy, but keep dreaming
you wear a lot of your dad’s old t-shirts. usually band tee’s
oh and he made sure you got into the “right music”
he used to drive you around in the firebird when you were a SMALL CHILD (front seat, no car seat!) and blast his old cassettes
for YEARS he’d pull the “who is this” “what song is this” game with the reasoning:
“if you wear a band shirt and some asshole asks you to name three songs, i want you to name ten” -johnny
listen. you were still “daddy’s girl” or whatever used to be a cute little saying and is now ruined but whatever
“dad, can i have twenty bucks?” -you
“for what” -johnny
“for fun. pleaseeee” -you
*johnny pulls out his wallet and gives you $40*
could he afford it? no. can he say no? also no.
the absolute fear he felt when you got your first period
“it’s fine, i can call mom” -you
“no, it’s not fine! i’ve had girlfriends before, i got this. stay here, i’ll be back” -johnny
he went to the store and bought the most random assortment of period products and pain meds and snacks and a heating pad
A for effort
when the diaz family moved in across from you guys, miguel took one look at you and johnny said:
“stay away from my daughter”
when the karate fuss got started you tried to keep your distance but sooner or later you joined the dojo and proved to your dad just how “badass” you could be
“take notes everyone, y/n’s gonna be the next all valley champ!” -johnny

You immediately gained Hawk and Miguel’s attention as soon as you walked into the party. Their eyes shamelessly moved up and down your body, enraptured by the light reflecting off your smooth legs and the tightness of your top clinging to your chest. You threw your long hair back over your shoulders as you laughed at something your friend said. The way your face brightened was already a turn on for them if they were being quite honest.
Miguel stared in awe as if a goddess herself walked through the door. The beauty he was witnessing was one he knew he could never find again in the world. He would get down on his hands and knees to worship the ground you walked upon, do anything you asked him to in a heartbeat.
Hawk smirked to himself. He loved challenges and you looked like a puzzle that he had to complete. He could become anything you wanted him to if that meant you being under him by the end of the night. He’d let himself fall with the risk of not knowing if you were at the bottom or not. Your word would be sacred to him.
You were rummaging through the cooler for a drink when you noticed them. Hawk was leading with Miguel trailing behind.
“Looking for anything specific,” he asked. There was a lively glint in his eye that was easy to detect.
“Just something good,” you answered. “I don’t like to waste my time on disappointment.”
Hawk raised his eyebrows at the phrase, intrigued. “I’d hate for that to happen.” He walked past you to the fridge.
As he looked through, you glanced at his quiet friend. He sent you a sheepish smile that you returned.
“It’s Miguel, right,” you asked him.
“Um, ye— yeah. Yeah, it’s Miguel.”
The way you stared from head to toe made him inhale shakily. What were you thinking? What did you want from him?
Hawk handed you a bottle that made you nod, impressed. He walked back to Miguel and threw his arm around his shoulders.
“Only the baddest badass in the whole damn valley,” he bragged. This made Miguel’s cheeks glow red as he shook his head and laughed.
You observed the way they bantered with each other. Not exactly like brothers, but something different.
“I gotta get back to my friends, but I’ll see you guys later.” You popped the cap off the bottle and took a drink while you walked away.
Hawk’s face fell as he quickly turned around. “W— wait.” You looked over your shoulder at him. “We thought you wanted to hang out for a bit. With us.”
You looked back and forth between them. Between Hawk’s words and Miguel’s pleading eyes, they shared a look of desperation.
“Maybe later.”
Miguel’s shoulders slumped, dismayed, but Hawk patted his shoulder.
“She said later,” Hawk repeated once you left.
“And there was a maybe before it,” Miguel added. “What makes you think she’d want to hang out with us?”
“Because we’re awesome?” He spoke as if it was the most obvious observation in the world.
“Not when you say shit like that.”
Miguel pushed his shoulder playfully that Hawk returned with a grin. They moved past the moment to try and enjoy themselves with the rest of the party, unaware of you staring from a distance. The corner of your lip upturned watching them.
The party was going on for hours. Even when hoards of people left, the energy was still there. Throughout the night, you had exchanged small glances and smiles towards Hawk and Miguel, like you were acknowledging the fact you haven’t forgotten about them.
Miguel was watching from one of the lounge seats outside as you waved off to your friends driving away. He was confused to why you haven’t left, but it gave him a small amount of hope. That small feeling grew once he saw you walking towards them. He hit Hawk’s arm for his attention.
The boy looked at Miguel and back at you. His smirk returned.
“Mind if I sit?” Your head tilted to the side as you smiled. One leg was crossed over the other while you kept your hands behind your back. It looked purely innocent in their eyes.
“Go ahead.” Hawk gestured to the empty seat next to Miguel and took a drink from his cup.
Miguel noticed the way your skirt was riding up your legs when you sat down. His eyes shifted towards yours to see you were already staring at him, that same pretty smile on your face.
“So, you guys met doing karate,” you asked.
“A little before that. I guess karate brought us closer.” Hawk nudged Miguel’s arm with his fist softly.
“And which one of you is the best?” They seemed confused, so you clarified, “At karate.”
They were a little surprised at the forward question. Glancing at each other, they shrugged.
“Technically, Miguel’s won the All Valley tournament,” Hawk stated.
“Yeah, but so did you this year. Not to mention, you were in the semi-finals last year,” Miguel added. “And you represented us for the Sekai Tekai.”
You watched them curiously go back and forth as they engaged with one another.
“Look how that ended.” A bitter look overcame Hawk as he remembered the most recent fight.
“That doesn’t matter, man,” Miguel defended. “You would’ve won that fair if they didn’t cheat. That ref didn’t know what the fuck he was talking about.”
For a boy so shy and sweet looking, you liked the assertiveness he brought when it came to defending his friend. Hawk must’ve thought the same thing as his cheeks tinted a light red.
“I haven’t seen you guys fight before.” Your tone made it sound like a challenge. You didn’t say more after, but it also seemed like enough said.
“Have you ever wanted to do karate,” Miguel asked you.
“When I was younger, I did. My mom took me out, though, because she thought it gave me aggression issues. Which, it didn’t. She just thought it was too violent.” You rolled your eyes while leaning back in the chair.
“It can be.”
Both boys started remembering everything that had happened to them after joining karate. Although there were a lot of great moments, the bad ones could never be forgotten. There was a point in time they feared their friendship would never be the same anymore.
“Sounds like you two have a long history together,” you said. “Is there anything else you guys share besides karate?”
Miguel chuckled a bit. “What do you mean share?”
You shrugged innocently. “What do you think I mean?”
The two boys glanced at each other, unsure if they were understanding you correctly. You looked back and forth between them as you awaited an answer.
“I don’t know. I mean we’re kind of polar opposites in ways, I guess,” Hawk answered.
“So, like, one of you is a virgin and the other is a freak in the sheets?”
Miguel laughed nervously into his cup to hide his red face while Hawk found your questions amusing.
“Who would you think is who,” Hawk asked.
You hummed while tilting your head. You reached over to place your hand on Miguel’s shoulder, the tips of your fingers skimming his curls.
“You look as innocent as they come,” you told him. Noticing Hawk’s smug smile, you continued, “But it’s always the innocent ones that are the kinkiest, right?” You sat back in the chair, your touch leaving Miguel’s. “So, do either of you live around here?”
Miguel cleared his throat and pointed. “Yeah. Just over there.”
You nodded and stood up. They watched as you walked towards his apartment. You looked back at them.
“Are you coming?” You made sure to make eye contact with each boy.
Hawk and Miguel glanced at each other and quickly stood up, trailing behind. You waited patiently for Miguel to open the door and he welcomed you inside. It was dark, meaning no one was home.
“Where’s your bedroom?”
Miguel felt himself get choked up. “Bed— bedroom? It’s, um, it’s just down the hallway.”
You nodded, walking that way. Hawk was eagerly close behind with a restless Miguel. Thankfully, he cleaned his room beforehand.
You pushed open the door and stepped inside. “I like your posters.” You chuckled staring at a particular one. “My mom loves Guns N’ Roses. She plays it like every morning.”
The boys were too nervous to even respond. They were both wondering if this was heading into the direction they think it was. Their answer came quickly as you carefully sat down on Miguel’s bed. You didn’t say anything and looked at them with a single raised brow.
In a blink of an eye, the boys were on either side of you. You couldn’t help but smile at their excitement. They sat so close to you, your legs were pressed against the fabric of their jeans. A small breath left your lips as you looked at Hawk.
You placed your hand on his cheek and leaned in. He did the same until you turned your head last minute to place a gingerly kiss on his cheek. You pulled away with an innocent smile. The comforter crumpled under Hawk’s grip as he shifted relentlessly. You knew what you were doing.
You looked at Miguel who gulped. You paused your movements in silent questioning and received a nod in response. His hand immediantly grasped the side of your neck as you leaned up to kiss him.
God, Miguel Diaz had to be the most gentle person to ever exist.
He moved with such care, as if savoring the taste of you on his tongue. His grip on you never tightened, only held you close. A stirring in his stomach occurred as your hand moved to his knee and squeezed lightly. He could feel your movements slowing down as you started to pull away. He couldn’t help but chase you pathetically, receiving another squeeze on his knee as a promise.
You looked at Hawk again who was more than prepared. A small smirk was the last thing he saw on your lips before diving in. He moved at a quicker pace. His hand went to your inner thigh, making you squirm. A low moan came from you as he massaged the skin tenderly. For someone with such a soft touch, his mouth was otherwise.
When you pulled away, he attached himself to your neck, peppering kisses everywhere he could. You looked back at Miguel, seeing his blown-out eyes and parted lips. You used your thumb and pointer finger to grab his chin and guide him towards you. As his lips moved against yours, his hand travelled to your stomach and slowly made its way up.
You pulled away again and Miguel kept himself busy on the other side of your neck. You closed your eyes, enjoying the feeling of both boys marking you up, their hands skimming around your body.
Hawk and Miguel pulled away and looked at you for their next move. You grabbed both of them, guiding them towards the middle until the three of you collided.
It was messy and hot. Parted lips claimed yours in a messy kiss, tongue sliding into your mouth and exploring every open space. You started going back and forth with them as they started closing in on you more and more. It nearly made it difficult to turn your head, but one of the boys was always there, awaiting their turn.
You slowly departed from them. But they kept going.
You leaned back on your elbows as Hawk and Miguel indulged with each other. You weren’t sure if they were aware of your lack of presence, or perhaps, they didn’t care. It was like they were starving for each other and succumbed into their cravings.
A low laugh came from you that made them stop. They stared at each other momentarily and looked at you.
“Just friends, my ass,” you retorted, sitting up. You still had a smile on your face as you kissed Hawk first, then Miguel. “You guys are adorable.”
Miguel rolled his eyes, but there was a hint of a smile on his lips. He looked at Hawk who was in the same state, one of his arms wrapping around your waist as his chin rested on your shoulder. His hand found Miguel’s and gave a light squeeze.
hera speaks!

Vulgar Display of Power [Miguel Diaz x fem!Reader] (Cobra Kai)
You can never fucking beat him in a fight and it's getting frustrating.
Request: omg more miguel please!!! smutty if u can xx already dating if you want? Fic title comes from my (second) favorite Pantera album. Word count: 4,350 Warnings: SMUT. established relationship, theres plot but it only serves to justify the sex lol, i use present tense in this, degrading, first time sub!miguel kind of, handjob, fingering, oral sex, penetration (p in v), semi-public sex (i guess? no one's around but the location isn't exactly private), a lot of use of pet names (baby, babe, love, mi amor), so much swearing. obviously no one is a minor here I don't mention much context but can be read as hs senior year or later, doesn't really matter. if you're a minor kindly keep away from my blog and this fic please
“Fuck!” You yell out as Sensei Lawrence announces Miguel’s win. In turn of your frustration, Miguel sports a grin that playfully mocked you.
Now don’t get it twisted, you’re not a bad fighter. You’re not even a good one- you’re great. The best, except for…
“Diaz! Good one.” Sensei Lawrence praises.
“Nice, dude!” Hawk comes to fist bump him.
Tory comes to you. “Girl get it together! You’re better than that!”
“I’m fucking trying.”
Miguel hears the two of you talking and decides to insert himself into the conversation. “Come on, it’s not a big deal.”
“I say this with love but it is a big deal and I’m gonna find a way to beat you.”
“Okay. Whatever you say.”
[. . .]
“Hey,” you hear Miguel call from behind you, turning around for a split second to look at him before getting back to packing your stuff to leave the dojo.
“Hey.”
“So, are we still on for tonight?”
“Yeah. I just wanna go home first and take a shower.”
He scratches the back of his neck. “Hey are you okay?”
“What do you mean?”
“Something seems… weird.”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about, babe,” you tell him, bringing a hand to his face and lightly tapping his cheek.
“You sure?”
“Yes! I just said it is!” You realize you blew up at him for no reason, immediately feeling bad for it and apologizing, not managing to look at him. “Sorry.”
“See? That’s what I mean!”
“I really am sorry.”
“Okay, but something’s clearly wrong.”
You stay silent, and he walks up to you, cornering you so you’d face him.
“What’s going on?”
Honestly, you don’t want to tell him. Because it would sound stupid. Because it is stupid. You don’t even exactly know why it had gotten so under your skin this time.
“It’s fine. I’m just a bit off today.”
“You don’t have to talk about it, but you don't have to lie either.”
“Fine. You wanna know what’s wrong? I’m frustrated because you keep beating me.”
“What?”
“Every single time we’re picked to fight I just can’t fucking beat you. And yes, I’m glad you don’t go easy on me, cause that would be like a million times worse, but I'm frustrated with myself. You’re the only one I've never fully beat in a match. The closest I’ve ever gotten to that was a tie.”
“Well most of the time it ends up in a tie.”
“Yeah but none of the time did it end with me winning.”
“I don’t understand why you’re so upset about this.”
“Of course you don’t. I just feel like if I still can’t beat you then have I really been getting better?”
“What? That’s nonsense, babe. You know that, right? Of course you’ve been getting better. We all have.”
“See I told you it would be stupid. I don't even know why I'm feeling this way.”
“That’s okay. We can just sort that out.”
“What do you mean?”
“I’ll ask sensei for the keys.”
“What?”
“We’re gonna stay here and fight and we’re not gonna leave until you win.”
“That’s really not what I was trying to get from this-”
“What, are you scared?” He knew just how to tug on your strings.
“Oh fuck no.”
“Then we’re doing this.”
“But what about the date?”
“We can go tomorrow. If you need my help today, I'll help you today.”
“Okay.”
[. . .]
“Alright, ready?”
You only nod your head yes, too focused to even speak.
“Okay. Round one.”
You get a couple punches in, but he’s faster than most of your hits. He wins..
You huff, annoyed. “Again.”
“Again.”
“Again.”
“Again.”
“Again.”
“Okay that’s it. Again.”
This time, determination runs through your veins, as tired as you were. Every single moment of feeling weak or inferior or as though you were seen by others as basically the female equivalent of Miguel, and not yourself, not someone capable of being better than him in any way, channeled into this round.
And you won. This time, you fucking won.
“Wait that’s three,” you realize.
“Yeah! You won!” Miguel celebrates.
“What?”
“You won, babe!”
“Oh my God. Holy fucking shit. I won?!”
He laughs, coming up to you. “You did.” He places a quick kiss on your lips, but you’re taken over by the adrenaline, pulling him back to you by the collar of his shirt when he went to pull away, tangling him into another kiss, deeper and more passionate this time around. “That was hot,” he comments, as you finally did let him part ways with you to breathe, your bodies still flushed together.
You feel your cheeks burn at his comment. “I just kicked your ass,” you joke.
He doesn’t even seem fazed by the comment. “Yeah you did,” he grins.
“I did not expect that to unlock some sort of loser kink in you.”
“Hey! That’s not what this is!”
You lift an eyebrow, amused.
“What, you’re telling me it’s a crime if my insanely hot girlfriend looks insanely hot while kicking my ass?”
“Should I kick your ass more often then?”
“You’re welcome to.”
“You’re so weird.”
“Shut up,” he retorts, finally having enough of the playful bantering, unable to wait a second longer to have your lips on his again.
Miguel pulls you even closer to him- if that were even possible- by pulling on your waist, not wasting a second more before diving in again, pulling you into a kiss that is much more feral this time around. His actions scream that he wants you, and the high from having reached your goal and beat him in the last round mixed with the lust forming in you from seeing him so affected, so attracted to this, it feels good.
You suppose some people would maybe come into an issue if they found themselves in your place. Men aren’t exactly known for being great at dealing with women being better than them in… well, anything. But Miguel acted genuinely proud of you. Hell, he’d canceled your date night to help you with this because he realized it was important to you. And more than being supportive, he was turned on by your display of power.
His kisses start trailing out of your lips, to your jaw, to the space below your ear. “You did so well, love. You should get something in turn, huh?”
Your mind was getting a bit foggy. Still, you join in playing his game. “I suppose I should. What are you gonna do?”
“Whatever you want me to,” he breathes out. Oh. That was definitely new.
“Whatever I want?” He only nods, looking up at you, waiting to be told what to do. Holy shit, that was hot. “That sounds good.”
“Just tell me, please, I’ll make you feel so good, I promise,” he pleads. It was almost pathetic. You decide you’d never get enough of hearing him plead like that. You loved the times in which he was more dominant, but you could definitely get behind this too, no issues whatsoever.
You pretend to think. “I don’t think I will.”
“What? Why not?”
“I want you to guess.”
“What?”
“You heard me.”
“I- Uh- Ih-” he takes a deep breath. He liked that. You smiled. “I can do that.”
“Good boy,” you try, hoping he didn’t find it weird.
Apparently, he didn’t. “Fuck. Fuck,” he lets out in almost strangled sounds, wordlessly dropping himself to the floor. He looks up at you with doe eyes, as if pleading for permission. You smile at him, signaling everything was okay. You cage his jaw with both your hands, and he closes his eyes for a moment, letting you play with his hair.
“You look so pretty like this,” you coo, and he feels it down his spine, his eyes fluttering open.
“Sit.”
“What?”
“Sit,” he repeats himself, but it isn’t demanding. Not this time.
“I heard you.”
“Sit, please, baby.”
You grin. You didn’t know you’d like this this much. “Of course, baby.” You sit down on the bench, legs closed. He parts them confidently, eyes not leaving yours as he does so slowly, positioning his body between them. With his face mere inches from yours, he looks up at you again.
“Do you want me to kiss you?” He guesses. His cheeks red, he clearly looks embarrassed. It turned him on and it turned you on too.
You nod eagerly, signaling he’d guessed right. He smiles and closes the distance between you, pulling you down and attaching his lips to yours. It starts out slow, tender, experimental- testing the waters. He grows eager pretty fast, though, kissing you harder, his hands traveling to either of your thighs and planting themselves there firmly, squeezing in a way that makes you gasp slightly in surprise.
He pulls away just to tease you about it. That’s the kind of little shit he is.
“What was that for?”
“Nothing.”
“Really?”
“Yeah.”
“Not this then?”
He squeezes your thigh again and you try to act unbothered.” He notices though, pleased with himself.
“Oh shut up.”
“I didn’t say anything.”
“You didn’t have to.”
He pulls you into a kiss again with no warning, more feral than before, his hand traveling upwards, inside the legs of the shorts you were wearing.
“Take it off,” you pant out, a stern tone overtaking your words, and he complies without questioning. You smile, pleased with that. You lift your hips slightly for him and he throws the shorts somewhere on the floor behind you.
He stares at your underwear for a few moments, as if lost in a trance. You laugh. “Hello? You here?”
“Yeah. Sorry. I don’t think I’ll ever get used to this.”
“Used to what?” You move a hand to caress his face.
“The fact that I’m the only one who gets to see you like this.”
“Aw, do you like that, baby? Does it turn you on?” You ask, your tone almost mocking him.
He only nods his head yes, looking embarrassed.
“That’s good.” You make a show to slowly take off your shirt, a sudden surge of confidence running through your veins at his words, discarding it along with the shorts behind you. His eyes widen and he mumbles a few words, the volume of his words so low you couldn’t make it out for the life of you, before he just surges forward again, not aiming for your lips this time, but for your jaw.
“What was that?” You manage to breathe out as he continues his trail of kisses along your jaw.
“What?”
“If you’re gonna talk you’re gonna let me hear it. Got it?”
“Oh-okay.” He continues to place quick, slight pecks along your jawline, but you know exactly what he’s doing.
“You’re not distracting me from that. I wanna know what you said, baby. Wanna hear you.”
“I said- I said uh-“ he gulps. “It’s dumb.”
“That’s okay.”
“I just said ‘fuck me’.”
You let out a small laugh. “Oh. It was dumb,” you mock him again, and you can see he didn’t expect that.
“What?”
“I though you wanted to fuck me,” you joke.
He doesn’t take it as a joke. “I do. I do I just meant- it was just-“ oh. This was for real.
“I know, love. I was just teasing you. Okay? You’re being so good to me.”
His eyes almost sparkle at the praise.
“You know I think I changed my mind.”
“What?”
“Maybe I should fuck you.”
“What do you mean?”
You look down on him and smile, a genuine sweet smile. “Get up.”
“But-“
“I thought you said you’d do whatever i wanted you to,” you fake-pout.
He doesn’t say a word before standing back up. You do the same, keeping your body flushed to his. You slowly turn the two of you around, cornering him until the back of his knees hit the bench and pushing him to sit down on it.
Standing in front of him, you tilt your head to the side as you take in the view. He looked disheveled as ever. You loved it. “I think you’re wearing too many clothes.
“I- I can take it off.”
“Yeah I think you should.”
“What… what do you want me to take off?”
“Let’s go with the shirt first, baby. How about that?”
He nods furiously. “Yeah I can do that,” he takes his shirt off in a millisecond, throwing it with your clothes on the floor.
“Oh, you look so pretty,” you coo, stepping closer to him and lifting his chin up to look at you. You make your way around the bench to be behind him, and you can see him gulp in anticipation. Fuck, you were loving this a little too much. You trace his biceps with your finger. “Your arms, I love your arms, you know that? So big and strong,” you exaggerate, and he quirks an eyebrow at the suspicious comment. This doesn’t sound like it was getting to a nice praising place. “And your body, I mean your abs. Your thighs, your thighs are so pretty, baby,” you crouch a bit, still behind him, wrapping yourself around his back so you could snake your arms to his thighs, still only tracing them with a single finger. “So how come you lost to me like a bitch?”
That seems to remind him very well of what was happening.
“It- it was one time.”
“One time you lost to me. But you’ve barely ever won, have you?”
He stays quiet.
“Come on, baby, talk to me…” you pout, snaking your arms around his torso and kissing his neck.
“N-no.”
“Did you like that you lost to me baby?”
Quiet again.
“Did it turn you on?” You whisper in his ear and you can feel him take in big a breath. .
He couldn’t even look at you .
“Oh, pretty boy, I wanna hear your voice!”
He gulps again. “It- it turned me on,” he confesses.
“I never knew you were into this sort of thing.”
“Me- me neither.”
“Do you like it when I’m stronger than you? When I tell you what to do?”
You remove yourself from his body entirely, and he whips his head at record speed to look at you, desperate for your touch again. You circle the bench once again, standing in front of him. You grab his jaw and lifts his head up to look at you, your other hand messing with his hair. “So pathetic. I’ve barely done anything to you and you’re this hard.”
You finally sit yourself down on his thighs, legs on either side of his torso, and he immediately and instinctively grabs your ass ‘for support’ as he’s always insisted with a grin.
“You’re so fucking pathetic you’ll do anything I tell you to. Won’t you?” You pout, tilting your head.
“I’ll- I’ll do anything you want.”
“That’s a good boy,” you mess with and pet his hair again. You loved it when it was just long enough for his curls to appear.
He shivers. “Can you say it again?”
“Oh, no can do, baby. You’ll have to keep being a good boy to earn it.”
“I’ll- I’ll be a good boy, okay?”
You nod silently, your arms draped around his neck, and you pull yourself closer to get access to his face. You kiss along his jawline slowly, paying extra attention to the spots just under his ears, which made him shiver like crazy. When you find it sufficient, you move down to his neck, and he lets you, tilting his head to the side. You kiss down his neck, trying your best to not leave any marks. He’s still shivering now, and you know him well enough to know he’s okay, but can’t resist teasing him a bit more.
“Oh no, baby, you’re trembling! Is everything okay?” You feign ignorance. He doesn’t reply. “Aw are you too horny to speak to me? Is that the issue?” You mock.
He lifts his hips for some friction, an involuntary tell that he was enjoying this too. “Aw, do you like it when I’m mean to you? Huh?” You lift his chin again. He begrudgingly nods his head yes. You smile and move your hand from his chin to his cheeks, squeezing both off them. “Does my baby like it when I’m in control? When I handle you like this? When I call you names?”
He tries to reply, but can’t really with you squeezing his face like that.
“Oh I can’t hear you baby!” You let go of his face. “You’re gonna have to say it again.”
“Yes.”
“Yes what?”
“Yes, I- I like it when you’re mean to me.”
“I know, baby boy. I can feel it.” With no other warning, you palm him through his shorts. He was impossibly hard. Knowing he was liking this was for sure improving your confidence. The moment your hand meets his crotch his breathing becomes unsteady and he thrusts his hips up again, wanting more. You start kissing along his neck as you keep feeling him up through the shorts, and then he is gone. He lets himself let out delicious moans you would play on repeat if you could, tilting his head back to grant you better access to his neck. He wants more, and you know he does. But you want to hear him say it.
After a few minutes, he does.
“Please take it off.”
You press a gentle kiss to his neck, containing a grin. “What are you talking about, babe?”
“My shorts, take them off, please. Please, take them off.”
You press a quick peck on his lips this time. “You beg so pretty, baby. I think I’ll need more of that.”
He looks confused.
“Anything I tell you, right?”
He nods.
“Good. Eat me out.”
His eyes widen at the bluntness of it all. And then he realizes what you meant by needing more of his begging: you weren’t going to solve his little problem all that soon.
“I- yes. Yeah.”
You pull yourself off of him and he stands up as quickly as humanly possible, grabbing your hand and yanking you to Sensei’s office, rushing to move everything that was on his desk. You catch his drift and pull yourself up to sit on it. You’re so enthralled you don’t even really have the time to rethink what you’re doing and where you are. Miguel gets himself on his knees, and the sight of it from above is breathtaking.
“Are you sure you wanna be on your knees? They’re gonna hurt.” You ask him, seriously this time.
“I don’t care,” is all he says, dismissing the thought. He pulls you closer to the edge of the desk, and you let yourself lean back on your elbows. He brings a hand up your thigh and takes off your underwear, you lift your hips up to help.
He brings both his hands to your thighs, slowly pulling them apart, opening your legs.
He wastes no time before diving in, startling you when, in a second, his head is between your thighs while his hands squeeze them hard and his mouth is suddenly on you.
He moves his tongue up and down your clit, occasionally circling around it. Now and then he takes a long lick, from your hole to your clit, letting out a moan from time to time as he tastes you, and he picks up on the shaky breaths and loud moans you let out at that (and the way your hands fly to his hair, slightly pulling it.)
He moves his tongue to your hole, licking and kissing around it before getting it inside.
It makes you almost want to scream out his name.
“Oh my god. You’re being so good to me, baby. Please don’t stop-”
You can feel his smile.
He takes one of his hands off of your thigh and moves it to thumb at your clit as he keeps fucking you with his tongue. The feeling is heavenly, but you can’t help but want more.
“Your fingers.” Is all you say, and he gets it.
Normally in a situation like this he’d be teasing you in some way, but right now just the thought of upsetting you with that and having you leaving him to finish himself off, or something down that lane, got him quiet.
He changes what he’s doing, going back to flicking your clit with his tongue, and slowly inserting one of his fingers. You decide you want to tease a bit more. “That all you got?” You challenge him, knowing exactly what you’re doing. He inserts another finger, not taking the care to do it slowly this time, and he pushes them deep inside you, curling them upwards to make sure you felt it.
You let out a moan that’s so pornographic you’re almost embarrassed at it, but you can feel him grin at it, pleased with the reaction. He keeps on, but at a slow pace. In other instances, you didn’t mind some slow, passionate sex. You loved it, even. But right now you wanted to be fucked.
“Harder.”
He pulls his head up to kiss you. You let him. As you make out, your taste still on his tongue, his fingers thrust harder, deeper inside you, making you moan into his mouth, which Miguel seemed to enjoy a little too much.
You can feel yourself brimming an orgasm, and your words become nonsense as he keeps on, your noises becoming so higher-pitched you can barely register you’re the one making them.
“Fuck I’m gonna cum. Baby, I’m gonna cum. Holy fucking-“
It hits you suddenly, killing your train of thought. Your body trembles as he keeps thrusting his fingers into you, letting you ride out your high. He laps it all up gladly, but you pull him away, your clit oversensitive.
That doesn’t mean you didn’t want more.
“Everything okay?”
“Yes, baby. You were such a good boy. But I want you to fuck me now.”
Miguel was still not used to you being this blunt. And honestly neither were you, for the matter. The words just kept coming out.
“What- what do you want me to do?”
You get close to his ear and whisper. “Whatever you want, baby.”
His eyes widen. Whatever he wants.
He pulls you off the desk and wordlessly takes you back to the locker room. He leaves you for a second to retrieve a condom from his bag. A prepared man, you’d say.
You manage to take a better look at him and laugh. He furrows his eyebrows together. “What?”
“You look so fucked out right now.”
He rolls his eyes at you and takes off his shorts, kicking them away. He goes to pull his boxers down but you stop him, stroking him in an agonizingly slow pace. He lets out a groan. “Please stop, I’m not gonna last.”
“Oh poor you.” You yank his boxers down. His dick is so hard it must be painful. And all from losing a fight and being called mean names. He walks the two of you backwards until your back is against a wall. He puts the condom on and looks at you for a green light.
“Go on, baby.”
He nods, pressing his cock into your hole slowly, letting you adjust to the intrusion.
“Fuck.” You breathe out.
“Was that a good fuck or a bad fuck? Does it hurt?”
“I’m alright. It was a good fuck.”
“Okay.” He hikes up one of your legs to his waist, and you think he’ll be content with that position, but he hikes up your other leg too, pressing your back even more firmly to the wall and supporting your weight by holding firmly onto the back of your thighs.
“Woah what are you doing?”
He doesn’t bother responding, thrusting into you experimentally.
“Holy shit.”
That is enough for him. His thrusts become harder, deeper, faster. He hadn’t realized just how desperate he was until now.
Hitting the spot inside you that made you see stars with every thrust, it doesn’t take long for his breath to quicken and his thrusts to become sloppier. “I’m gonna- can I-“
Was he trying to ask for permission to cum? Holy fucking shit, that was hot.
“Shh, it’s okay baby. You’ve been so good. You can cum.”
“Thankyouthankyouthankyou,” he chanted.
You laugh as his desperation, but it quickly turns into a moan, with Miguel eager to cum and fucking you so hard now you can’t even understand how he could still hold up your weight while doing that. Bless you universe for giving you a strong, strong boyfriend. But all of that didn’t matter now, because he was fucking you so good you could feel the familiar sensation of an orgasm building again.
“Please don’t stop.” That was the first time you begged him for something the whole time.
“I won’t, mi amor.” Oh, that broke you. That one pet name didn’t come out all that frequently, so when it did, you felt giddy on the inside.
With a few more thrusts, both of you reach your high, and at that point Miguel did have to pull you down, although your legs currently trembled so hard it was a little difficult to stand, but he helps you out after tying the condom up and throwing it away.
“Holy shit,” you finally let out.
“Holy shit,” he agrees.
“What were you saying about your loser kink again?”
“Will you shut up about that?” He smiles.
“Was I too mean to you? I might’ve gotten a little carried away."
He looks down to the floor in embarrassment as if he hadn’t just fucked you into oblivion. “I liked it.”
“That’s good baby. So, shower?”
“Yeah you stink,” he makes a disgusted face, plugging his nose and everything just to irritate you.
You roll your eyes at him.
A/N: pls be kind to me and cut me some slack i've never posted smut before 😭 i promise ive had sex before 😭 fighting for my life lmao

M.I.T can suck it
Hawk X Female! Reader
!Spoilers for Cobra Kai season 6!
Summary: Hawk needs comfort after training in the forest.
Warning: Swearing/ use of Y/n/ fluff/ self doubt/ suggestive dialogue/ Hawk overthinking a little/
Word count: 530

The door opens to a pouting Hawk, he didn’t make the team, had a literal fight with his best friend and got a little hurt in the process. He just wanted to come home and become one with the couch. But instead, he found his girlfriend reading on the couch. ‘’Baby, what are you doing here?’’ he asked with a smile on his face. She closed her book and got up. ‘’I wanted to surprise you, how was training?’’ she asked, kissing him. Hawk placed his hand on her hip as they sat on the couch. Hawk took a deep breath before taking his girlfriend’s hands. ‘’It was a disaster. It was a capture the flag between me, Kenny, Devon and Demetri.’’ Hawk went on to talk about how him and Demetri fought because he told his best friend that he wanted to look for other colleges. That they literally fought for the flag, and he lost.
Y/n got closer to her boyfriend and gave him a hug, he looked like he needed it. ‘’Listen, I love you and I’m proud of you, even though you’re not going to Barcelona, you’re still my champion. For Demetri, I think you have to give him time. You and him have been talking about going to M.I.T since you were young. He feels betrayed, and even you can get that. But, like I said, you’re his best friend, and he cares about you too much to let this between you.’’ She spoke. Hawk had tears in his eyes, he needed to hear that. ‘’Thank you, I love you too. But what if I apply to M.I.T and don’t get in, he’ll be even more pissed and I- ‘’ Y/n’s lips stopped him before his anxiety took over.
‘’If you don’t get in M.I.T with the grades you have, then M.I.T can suck it. But for now, you just have to trust the process. You want to go to another college so you can party your ass off, then so be it. Demetri will come around; you guys are the Binary Brothers! He needs you.’’ she asked him with a compassionate smile. What did he do to deserve her was still a question in his mind. She was perfect for him, she was able to calm his anxiety and loved him for Eli, not Hawk, but she still loved Hawk since ‘it was a part of him’. ‘’I love you so much, you know that?’’ he said, kissing her passionately. They cuddled for a while before they both got hungry.
‘’If you want, you can go in the shower while I cook dinner.’’ She offered. Hawk had a grin on his face at the mention of the shower. ‘’Do you wanna come with me in the shower, then we’ll cook dinner together’’ he proposed, still with the grin on his face. Y/n tilted her head with a smirk on her face. ‘’Sure, good idea. But keep your hands to yourself, I’m hungry and I don’t wanna eat at 10 pm because you’re horny’’ she chuckles. ‘’I can’t make any promises, princess’’ he teased. She playfully rolled her eyes before they both walked into the bathroom.

# STOP LOOKING AT ME WITH THOSE EYES ! YANDERE! AXEL KOVACEVIC X READER, WRITTEN



introduction master list request list
# WARNINGS: not a good interpretation of a yandere (not intense), lowercase intended, female! reader, use of y/n, spelling/grammar errors, possible OOC axel and gullible reader, established relationship, messy writing, and maybe bad descriptions. good ending!! + a cute extra scene at the end
# SUMMARY: you decided to follow your boyfriend to the torment he was participating in. due to not making many friends in highschool in croatia, being in a new environment and country could be a possibility to make new friends, but by the way axel is acting, he doesn’t seem to like that.
# AUTHOR’S NOTE: i did have to watch season 6 again to really get a good intro on axel again, i also did some research/watch interviews, hoping it is right. in this axel is 16 years old and is from croatia, balkans. meaning that axel is going to school in croatia and went to hong kong for training with sensei wolf. i know that it wasn't shown but pretend that axel and reader actually had time and would at least in someway interact with the other characters (more like just miyagi do). i apologize for this being on the short side, i’m still trying to get the hang of writing again. word count: 1100. here is the link of the song the title is named after!
# REQUESTED: YES
axel has been your boyfriend for a while now, and you've always been by his side—more voluntarily than anything, considering how hard it was for you to make friends in your high school back in croatia. it wasn’t that you were unlikable, just that people didn’t seem to care enough to get close. axel was different, though. from the moment he noticed you, it was like you were the only person in his world.
when he told you he was leaving for the tournament, you didn’t hesitate to follow. a new environment, a new country—it sounded like an opportunity, a fresh start. maybe this time, things would be different. maybe you could finally belong somewhere. but axel… he didn’t seem to like that idea.
it started small. a hand on your lower back when you tried to talk to someone new. standing just a little too close when another competitor greeted you. answering for you when someone would ask a question. his grip would tighten, his voice always calm but firm, a quiet reminder.
stay close to me.
you brushed it off at first. axel had always been protective. he said it was because he knew what people were really like— how they used and discarded others when it suited them. you didn't want to believe that.
but then came the glares. the cold, sharp eyes watching every interaction you had. the way his jaw clenched whenever someone so much as smiled at you. the way his mood soured whenever you laughed at someone else's joke.
then the words.
"we're leaving soon, don't get to close"
"they're pretending to be nice, they're trying to get to me"
"i'm the only one who understands you"
at first, you tried to ignore it. axel had always been intense— possessive, even —but he had his reasons. he didn't trust easily, and he never let his guard down. but now, that wasn't just directed at his opponents in the tournament. it was now aimed at anyone who got too close to you.
it started off small. a hand on your wrist when you lingered too long in a conversation. a sharp look when miguel or hawk cracked a joke that made you laugh. the way he always seemed to position himself between you and someone else. like an unspoken barrier.
at first, the others found it ammusing.
"man, your boyfriend's intense," hawk had said nudging miguel after axel all but dragged you away from a conversation. "you sure he let's you breathe?" miguel had given you a sympathetic glance, but he didn't push. sam, on the other hand, did.
"you know that you can talk to whoever you want, right?" she asked one afternoon when axel had stepped away for a minute, due to his sensei wanting to have a conversation with him.
"i know," you had said, but the words felt hollow. because deep down, you knew it wasn't about permission. it was about him. about the way axel saw the world— how he believed people couldn't be trusted. and more than anything, it was about his fear of losing you.
but it couldn't go on like this.
that night, after most of the competitors had gone back to their rooms, you found him outside, leaning against the railing of the balcony of your shared rooms. the bright active city lights reflected in his eyes, but his expression was unreadable.
"you're mad," he said before you could even open your mouth. "i'm frustrated," you corrected, stepping closer. "axel... you have to stop this. i want to be here with you, but i can't do that if you keep pushing everyone else away." his grip tightened on the railing. "i'm not pushing them away. i'm protecting you."
"from what?" you asked, starting to get irritated. "from people being nice to me? from me finally being able to have the chance to make friends?"
he turned to face you then, his gaze sharp but conflicted. "people lie. they act friendly, they pretend to care— but in the end, they always let you down." his voice was steady, but there was something beneath it. something raw. "not everyone," you said softly, reaching for his hand. "not me."
for a moment, he didn't move. then, slowly, his fingers curled around yours, his grip firm, but not forceful. "i don't want to lose you," he admitted, voice barely above a whisper. "you won't," you promised. "but you have to trust me the way I trust you."
axel exhaled sharply, looking away. you could tell it wasn't easy for him, to let go of control. but after a moment, he nodded. "...alright," he muttered. "but if they give me a reason to not trust them—"
"i know," you interrupted, a small smile tugging at your lips. "you'll be watching." a smirk ghosted across his face, and for the first time in a while. his presence didn't feel suffocating. it felt grounding.
— extra scene funny and cute!! (y/n and axel are sitting with miyagi do in this scenario and they have a good relationship with them in this scene.)
the shift in axel hadn't gone noticed. while he still had his moments—hovering nearby whenever someone got a little too friendly—he wasn’t shutting you off from the rest of the world anymore.
during a lunch with all the teams in the tournament, miguel nudged hawk and nodded toward the two of you. “dude, i think your little intervention worked.” hawk smirked, taking a bite of his food. “told you. y/n just had to remind him that she’s her own person, and won’t go anywhere.” hawk replied quietly.
demetri, who had been wary of axel ever since the tense standoff, finally realized enough to sit at the same table again. “so, we’re actually allowed to talk to you now?” he teased, raising an eyebrow.
axel shot him a look, but there’s no hostility behind it. “don’t push it.” tory leaned back in her chair, smirking. “hey, progress is progress.”
even sam, who has been quietly observing, gave a small nod of approval. “it’s nice to see you with us instead of watching from a distance.”
you squeezed axel’s hand under the table, and for once, he didn’t flinch away from the attention. instead, he met your gaze, a silent understanding passing between you.
✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧
the end!!! 😄😄 if anyone from the better norris series is reading this, part three is coming soon! just trying to get through the axel requests, which i am open to more requests, before posting the third part. ( i am working on part four rn )

𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫 | robby keene x fem!reader
Requests Masterlist
𝘀𝘂𝗺𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘆 | A Miyagi-Do member tried to make a move on Robby Keenes girlfriend. He didn’t let it happen, now she’s showing him how grateful she is for his protection.
𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 | smut, pre-established relationship, use of Y/N, protective!robby, oral m!receiving, handjob, swearing, public sex, taller!robby (bc Tanner is 5’7), brief harassment
Y/N was at her locker at school. She was trying to grab one of her books from the shelf in her locker. She reached up and that’s when she felt a hand on her ass. Assuming it was Robby, she just slowly turned. It was not her boyfriend, it was one of the new members of Miyagi-Do.
“Ew- get off of me!” She hissed and shoved the boy away from her. The boy didn’t leave though. He tried to move back towards her. That was when she heard a voice she would recognize any day. The voice of Robby Keene.
“Hey! Back off!” Robby shouted. Both of them turned their heads to look at him. It seemed like this harasser knew who he was. He was scared. The boy immediately stepped away from Y/N. That didn’t seem to satisfy Robby though. “The fuck were you about to do, hm?” He got in the boys face, eyes narrowing.
“Sorry, I didn’t know-”
“You’re not supposed to be doing that anyways. Get outta here.” Robby growled and shoved the boy away, making his back hit the wall. Usually a fight would’ve started, but the boy had common sense. He knew what was the smarter option. He scurried off.
Y/N grabbed onto her boyfriends arm and pulled him to her side. “Thank you,” she whispered.
“Of course. You ok?” He asked softly. Robby Keene was supposed to be one of the meanest out there, but with her, he was the nicest. His eyes were locked on her, filled with love and concern.
“Yeah, thanks.”
Robby stood at her side as she got her books, then he walked her to class. She was already a bit late. Robby’s next class was on the other side of the school, but it wasn’t really like he cared.
“Ill see you at lunch?” Y/N asked, leaning on the door of her classroom. Robby nodded. She smiled and gave him a quick kiss on the lips before going into her class. Lunch was the next block.
The class seemed shorter than usual, although it was 80 minutes long. The second it was over, Y/N was on her way to go and find Robby. Instead of going to the cafeteria, she went right to his locker. He was a bit confused, but of course he was happy to see her.
“Come.” She took his hand. Robby bit the inside of his cheek and then closed his locker before following her. She spent a little while just talking to him about class, which he listened to. That was because she was waiting for the halls to clear out.
Once the halls were nearly empty, she tugged him right into the nearby janitors closet.
“What are we doing in here?”
“I just wanna thank you.” Y/N looked up at him and put her hand on his chest, pushing him over to the shelf. Robby looked down at her, brows knit together. He wouldn’t try to stop her, since it was what he wanted anyways. She tugged off his belt and then put it on the shelf.
Looking up at Robby, she pushed down his jeans. He clenched his jaw and his breath hitched as her hand wrapped around his cock. His eyes closed and he pushed up his hips slightly.
“Fuck- we’re gonna make a mess in here, Y/N.”
“I can swallow.” Y/N reminded him casually. He let out a groan at that. She narrowed her eyes and then pulled her hand off of him. She reached under her skirt and pulled off her panties, shoving the lacy material into his mouth. His eyes snapped open and he looked at her. “You were being loud.” She smiled innocently and continued to jerk him off.
His eyes rolled back and he closed his eyes just for a moment. He heard her knees hit the floor and felt her hand let go of his cock.
Leaning forward, Y/N pressed a soft kiss to his tip. He bit down on her panties and let out a muffled groan. Her lips wrapped around him and her tongue swirled, pressing up against the veins of his cock.
Her hands fondled his balls, massaging them and urging him to cum soon. He didn’t want to though. His ego was a bit too big to let him cum so fast. Y/N took him fully into her mouth now, putting in more effort to take him all the way. She gagged on his cock.
The thick tip of his cock hit against the back of her throat. Saliva coated him completely. Her jaw was aching from how she kept it open to avoid her teeth grazing over him. Robby was a tough guy, but even he had some sensitive spots.
His hand went to the back of her head, gently guiding her movements. Her eyes fluttered open and she gazed up at him, causing his cock to twitch in her mouth.
Robby’s muscles flexed and his abs rolled before he subconsciously bucked his hips up. Her nose hit his abdomen and she furrowed her brows and her eyes closed. With a few more rolls of his hips, he came.
“Fuck-!” Robby let out a muffled groan, his eyes rolling back. Y/N swirled her tongue around him a few more times, urging him to give her more before she pulled off. A string of saliva connected them. She smiled and swallowed his cum before getting up to her feet.
“Good?” She asked softly, looking up as she pulled her panties out of his mouth. Robby cleared his throat and swallowed.
“Very. Lemme just…” Robby trailed off and pushed the pair of panties into his pocket. She knit her brows together.
“What are you doing?”
“Keeping these. Thanks for the gift,” Robby leaned down and kissed her before stepping out of the storage closet. Y/N wiped her lips and then followed a moment later.

NSFW Alphabet: Young Johnny Lawrence
Warnings: NSFW
NSFW Alphabet
A= Aftercare (What he's like after sex) Younger Johnny definitely has no clue what aftercare is at first. He's not used to affection and receiving love, over time you'll start to show him how important aftercare is to both of you. After that, his go to aftercare would be making sure you use the bathroom after sex, cleaning you up, then cuddling naked until you both fall asleep.
B= Body Part (His favorite body part of yours) Your boobs for sure, that's the first thing he looks at, more like gawks at. While in missionary he'll use each hand for each boob to hold on to, he's so gentle because he doesn't want to hurt you.
C= Cum (Anything to do with cum basically) He doesn't have a preference, although the thought of cumming in you is very appealing to him, he doesn't know what he'd do with a kid while he's a teenager.
D= Dirty Secret (Johnny's dirty secret) Johnny really wants to make love to you in his car, it's a wonder it hasn't happened yet. He wouldn't admit it, but he's kind of nervous to even ask and he doesn't know when or how to approach the topic.
E= Experience (How experienced is Johnny) He definitely doesn't know much especially if you were his first, but he knows a lot from his imagination that he just uses on you. Though he makes it seem like he's more experienced for the first time you both have sex.
F= Favorite Position (His favorite position) Definitely missionary, he's a simple teenage hormonal boy who likes to get the full view of his girl while he makes her take his cock.
G= Goofy (Is he goofy during sex) Not really, he tends to be more serious during sex, especially if it's a very romantic and intimate moment with you, then he's the opposite of rough or goofy.
H= Hair (Does the carpet match the drapes) Definitely. Johnny will pretty much always have the mindset that it's more manly to have hair down there. But he did experiment when you first got together, he tried shaving incase you decided to have sex or go down on him, but he quickly decided it wasn't for him.
I= Intimacy (How romantic is Johnny during the moment) Johnny isn't very romantic, but that doesn't mean he isn't sweet during sex. He cares about his pleasure, but he also has the need to make sure you're taken care of. Now, if it's a special day (anniversary or valentines), then he'll be more romantic. Rose petals around the bed, some pretty candles lit up... if you're both alone at his mom and stepdads house, then he'll even run you both a bubble bath afterwards. He truly cares about you, and while he may have a hard time expressing it, he still tries for you.
J= Jack Off (Masturbation) Johnny does it all the time, when he's not busy with you or karate of course. But if there's no possible way to get off then he'll get off by the thought of you or some of your Polaroid pictures he has.
K= Kink (How kinky is Johnny) Johnny is not kinky. He's more caring and careful during sex, but there has been moments when he's jealous or angry and he takes it out on you, but he would never hurt you physically. He does like to lightly wrap his hands around your neck, and he loves to slap your ass and dig his nails into your hips while you ride him, but never beyond that.
L= Location (Favorite places to do the do) Johnny's favorite place to have sex is in his room, where no one can distract either of you. He doesn't like the idea of being in public and having sex, but if he needed a quickie or something made him jealous, then that would quickly change.
M= Motivation (What gets Johnny going) Your mouth really gets him going. The way you subtly bite your lip while you're working on homework, or the way your lipgloss makes them more noticeable. It turns him on so much and he can't help but imagine your lips wrapped around his cock.
N= No (A turn off, something Johnny would never do) He would never bring hitting into sex, with how he's treated by his sensei and his step dad, he wouldn't want that pain or trauma inflicted on you, even if you gave him consent to do so.
O= Oral (His preference in giving and receiving) He loves both, but he loves receiving more because of the way you treat him and how you respect his body. You take care of his wants and he doesn't want that to go away.
P= Pace (Is he fast and rough, slow and sensual; etc) Johnny can be both. While he's mainly sweet and sensual in the moment, he can also be very rough and fast. Especially if he sees you around Daniel or any other boy for that matter. He wouldn't tell you who you couldn't hang out with, but he would make it known that he didn't like Daniel talking to you, and if Daniel didn't take the hint, then Johnny would make it known that you were his.
Q= Quickie (Johnny's opinion in quickies/fast and rushed sex) He is always up for a quickie, he would never turn one down. Johnny likes to take his time with you, but that doesn't mean he won't fuck you in such a hurry that you can't speak. You could be anywhere and say you were mildly horny, and he would rush you into the nearest bathroom.
R= Risk (Does he like to take risks) Johnny is definitely a risk taker. If you asked him to try new things then he would for you, but never anything physically harming. You could easily persuade him to do anything for you, except, inflicting physical pain on either of you.
S= Stamina (How long can he go for, and how long does he last) Johnny can go pretty long, well, he prefers to take his time with you. The most he could last would probably be an hour, with a lot of foreplay leading up to actually fucking.
T= Toy (Does he like to use toys) Not really. He prefers for you to use him, hence, you to use his mouth and cock how you like. He would never say no to trying toys, but he just likes the feel and taste of you without them.
U= Unfair (How much does he like to tease, does he tease) Johnny loves to tease you, matter of fact- he constantly does it. He loves to drag out the process, touching you inch by inch, making you beg for his cock before giving you even his fingers. Every time he does it and you whine, he just gives you that same cocky smirk with the comment “what? Can’t take it?”
V= Volume (How loud is Johnny during the moment) Johnny is rarely loud. He gives the occasional grunts, groans, and slight whimpers- but he’s more of a touchy person, so he’d be digging his nails into your hips and grabbing all over you before he’s moaning constantly.
W= Wild Card (Random head-con for Johnny) Johnny has always wanted to lean you over his motorcycle and fuck you raw. When he’s alone and you’re nowhere to be found, he jerks off to the thought of you letting him fuck you raw as he has you bent over his motorcycle. He doesn’t like the idea of it being so out in the open, but honestly, if you were to say yes, he would lose all self-control.
X= X- Ray (Lets see what's going on in them pants shall we) Johnny is a solid 6 inches. He’s not too big, but not too small. He has a good girth too, which really adds to it.
Y= Yearning (How high is Johnny's sex drive) His sex drive is pretty high. If you’d let him, he would probably fuck you every day, twice a day. But on the days that he is extremely horny, he cums quicker. Thus, making it easier for him to fuck you multiple times a day.
Z= Zzzzz (How fast does Johnny fall asleep afterwards) Johnny doesn’t fall asleep right away, he makes sure you’re taken care of before he knocks out. He’ll usually clean you up right after and then hold you close to his chest, rubbing your lower back as you talk about random stuff before finally falling asleep.

The noise in the hotel buffet surrounds you as you walk between tables, looking for something to eat. The atmosphere is full of voices, laughter, and clinking dishes. You stop when you see that your father, Johnny, is arguing with a man who looks just as tall as he is imposing. It’s easy to tell that something is about to explode.
Your eyes focus on the center of the argument. The last two pieces of steak are on the man’s plate, which he holds with a confident attitude. Johnny, with his usual defiant posture, points at the pieces of meat.
"Hey, buddy! One per customer!" Johnny shouts, crossing his arms while glaring at the scene.
The man turns around with a calm smile, showing no discomfort. "Excuse me?" he responds, as if he doesn't understand the problem.
"You took the last two steaks," Johnny says in a rougher voice than usual, stepping dangerously closer to him.
The man, despite the tense situation, responds without losing his composure. "I’m bringing one to a friend," he explains, moving the plate a little toward his side. "And if not, I have the right to take as many as I want."
Johnny isn’t willing to back down. "Oh yeah? And I have the right to stop you," he responds, his tone making it clear that he won’t back off easily.
The situation is about to escalate into a fight. The air tenses, and everything around you seems to fade as you watch your father, as stubborn as ever, challenge a man who clearly isn’t afraid to face him. You know that if you don’t do something, things could spiral out of control.
You step toward them, taking a deep breath, looking for a way to calm the situation before it gets out of hand. When you get close to your father, you place a hand on his arm, gently pushing him back.
"Johnny, stop," you say, your voice firm but calm. You don’t want things to get out of control.
Johnny looks at you in surprise, almost not understanding what just happened. "What’s the problem? It’s just meat!" he responds, but his hard gaze is still fixed on the man, who is now paying attention to you.
"It’s not worth it," you insist, keeping your tone controlled. "This isn’t the time for this."
Your father grumbles, but finally, it seems like he decides to relent. He takes a step back, still visibly annoyed, but says nothing more. The tension in the air begins to ease, but you still don’t know if the situation is truly resolved.
The man looks at you for a moment, evaluating the situation. His expression is calm, almost as if he hasn’t been disturbed in the slightest. He turns to you with a slight smile. "I apologize for the confusion," he says in a relaxed tone. "I didn’t mean to cause any trouble."
You feel a bit relieved, but also intrigued by the calm that emanates from him. "It’s fine," you respond, smiling slightly. "Johnny can be a bit… protective sometimes."
Wolf, as you later learn his name to be, laughs softly. "I’ve noticed," he says. "I don’t think I’m his favorite person right now."
The conversation shifts to more neutral topics. As Johnny walks away reluctantly, you stay with Wolf, who now watches you with a gentler expression now that the confrontation is over. There’s something about his demeanor that is intriguing, something about his calm that makes you feel a sort of curiosity.
You both decide to sit down at a nearby table. At first, the topic remains trivial, like the upcoming tournament and tensions between dojos, but soon, the conversation becomes more personal. You talk about life, goals, and the little moments that define people. Even though you don’t know each other, somehow everything feels very natural.
Wolf has that carefree attitude, but there’s an intensity in his words that you can’t ignore. It’s as if, in his presence, every conversation feels deeper, more real. You find yourself at ease, relaxed, and without realizing it, hours go by.
Little by little, the words grow closer. The distance between you two diminishes without you noticing. The conversation softens, and the connection feels almost imperceptible, yet palpable. And yet, there’s something more in the air. A change you can’t identify right away.
At some point, after a long conversation about various topics, you realize just how close you are to him. You both share a glance, and it’s as if everything around you disappears. The soft music, the voices in the distance, everything seems to fade. And in that moment, Wolf leans in toward you, and without warning, his lips meet yours in a kiss.
It’s brief, unexpected, but intense. A spark jumps between you two, one you didn’t know existed but now seems to consume everything around you. When you part, the air feels heavy, charged with a new tension, one that makes you wonder what just happened.
Before you can react fully, you hear a familiar voice.
"WHAT THE HELL?!"
You turn quickly, and there’s Johnny, standing at the door of the buffet, his eyes wide as saucers, completely stunned. His surprise is evident, and his face reflects a mixture of fury and confusion.
"Johnny…" you murmur, your voice nervous, not knowing what to say. The weight in your chest grows as discomfort takes over you.
Wolf, without losing his calm, slowly leans back in his chair, crossing his arms. "It’s not what it looks like," he says in a quiet tone, almost teasingly, as if this whole thing is just a game.
Johnny takes a step forward, his face turning red with anger. "What do you mean, it’s not what it looks like? You’re kissing my daughter!" His voice rises, and you know that right now, things are getting much more complicated.
You try to step toward Johnny, but the weight of the situation holds you back. "Johnny, calm down," you say, even though you know it won’t be easy. "It’s not what you think."

heyy i requested a similar prompt to another author but i think they went MIA 😞
fem!reader who used to be apart of iron dragons moved to california and joined miyagi do. Miguel and her started to get close but one day before the sekai taikai, reader catches Miguel and Sam together. Feeling betrayed and revengeful, she transfers back to iron dragons without the knowledge of anyone from miyagi do and it's not until the captains war that miyagi do and miguel see her as the female captain alongside Axel. she's sensei wolf's protegee and Axel's "close friend" (!endgame Axel). maybe where miguel feels jealous and guilty when he sees reader and axel together and close 😣
i see her in the back of my mind | Axel Kovačević x Fem! Reader
Summary: After years of pining after your best friend, you're crushed to find out it's been all in your head when you catch him with someone else. In attempt to move on, you take the first opportunity to leave home and start new. But two years later, when you run into Miguel again, it tests the person you are today and sends your current close friend, Axel Kovačević, into a state of protectiveness.
Word count: 6.7k Warning: None, angst, fluff, friends to lovers
gif is not mine
The windshield wipers slapped back and forth, fighting against the rain that wasn't heavy enough to warrant their speed.
You turned them down a notch and swallowed the lump in your throat that had been there since fifth period.
Miguel and Sam. Sam and Miguel.
The image kept replaying in your head like some fucked-up GIF that wouldn't stop looping.
His hand on her waist, fingers pressing into the fabric of her yellow sweater. Her palm flat against his chest, right over the stupid Metallica logo he'd drawn on his white tee with a Sharpie last week when you both got bored in chemistry.
"Shit!" you shouted, swerving a little too sharply around a pothole. The car behind you honked, and you flipped them off without looking.
Not your problem they couldn't handle a little defensive driving.
The kiss hadn't even been that good. You could tell from twenty feet away in the school hallway.
Not that you'd spent time imagining kissing Miguel. Except you had.
For approximately three years, two months, and sixteen days. Not that you were counting.
"Fuck, fuck, fuck," you muttered, drumming your fingers against the steering wheel as you pulled up to a red light.
Your phone buzzed in the cup holder. His name flashed across the screen, and your stomach twisted into a familiar knot that was equal parts hope and nausea.
You let it ring. Let him wonder where you disappeared to after school. Let him worry.
The light turned green, and you pressed the gas pedal hard enough to make the tires squeal.
Rain streaked across your windshield in angry lines, matching your mood perfectly.
You pulled into your driveway with enough force to make the suspension groan in protest.
The house was empty, mom wouldn't be home until seven, and dad was working from the office today.
The stairs creaked under your heavy footsteps as you trudged up to your bedroom, backpack hanging off one shoulder.
You kicked the door shut behind you with enough force to make your collection of concert tickets flutter on the corkboard.
The same concert you and Miguel attended with sensei Lawrence last summer.
"Dammit," you muttered tossing your back pack to the corner of your bedroom.
You sighed heavily plopping down on to your bed, the mattress bouncing beneath you.
Your phone buzzed again. And again. And again.
"Jesus Christ," you hissed, finally grabbing it. Three more texts from Miguel.
Where'd you go?
Are you ok?
Can we talk?
You tossed the phone onto your pillow face-down, as if not seeing the screen could erase what you'd witnessed.
The rain tapped against your window in an uneven rhythm, like someone trying to get your attention. You ignored it, just like you were ignoring Miguel.
Your laptop sat on your desk, and you pulled it open, hoping mindless scrolling might numb the ache spreading through your chest.
You open a new tab for your emails, and see there’s a follow up letter from sensei Kreese about a dojo he’s been talking to you about.
Clicking on the recent message, your eyes scan over the long digital letter:
IRON DRAGONS INTERNATIONAL TEAM - INVITATION TO HONG KONG
"Wait, what?" you whispered, clicking it open before your brain could process what you were seeing.
The email loaded, its professional letterhead emblazoned with a sleek red dragon logo that coiled around the words "Elite Combat Sports Federation."
"Dear [Your Name],
Following your exceptional performance at the West Coast Regional Tournament and based on Sensei Kreese's recommendation, we are pleased to extend an invitation for you to train with the Iron Dragons in Hong Kong for our summer intensive program.
Our scouts were impressed by your technical precision and mental fortitude. We believe you possess the raw talent and dedication necessary to compete with our competitive team…"
The email continued, detailing a two year contract with international competitors, world-class instructors, and housing in the heart of Hong Kong.
All expenses paid. Your eyes widened with each line, heart pounding against your ribs like it wanted out.
Hong Kong, China. You jumped up from your bed, pacing across the worn carpet, re-reading the email three times to make sure it wasn't some elaborate joke.
"Holy shit," you whispered, running your fingers through your hair. "Holy shit!"
This was everything you'd been working toward since you first stepped into the dojo four years ago.
The bruises, the sprains, the 5 AM training sessions before school, all of it suddenly worth it.
You imagined yourself walking through neon-lit streets, training in ancient dojos, competing with the best of the best.
A chance to be seen by people who mattered in the martial arts world.
Your fingers reached for your phone automatically, muscle memory taking over before your brain could catch up.
Miguel's contact was already pulled up, thumb hovering over the call button when the image flashed again—his face connecting with hers, not too long ago.
The excitement that had momentarily lifted you crashed back down, replaced by a hollow feeling that spread through your chest like spilled ink.
Not anger anymore, just a deep, aching sadness that made your shoulders slump.
Miguel would have been the first person you called. Always. But now…
Instead, you dial the number below the dojo name at the bottom and make your decision that you know will change everything for the better.
─── ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ──── ♡ ─── ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ─── ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ─
2 years later...
Hong Kong had changed almost everything about you. The way you moved, more fluid now, like water finding its path.
The way you carried yourself, chin up, shoulders back, eyes forward.
But some things hadn't changed at all. Like the way your heart raced before a competition.
The way you bounced on your toes to burn nervous energy. And the way you still occasionally thought about what might have been if you'd stayed in California.
Your parents were supportive enough to let you go, and venture out. They always wanted you to find yourself and be the best you could when it came to karate.
So when sensei Kreese took you under his wing and helped you find the Iron Dragons, your parents were on board to help you achieve your dreams.
Which lead you here, to the Sekai Taikai, the world tournament of international dojo’s that come together to fight for the championship.
"Nervous?" The voice came from behind you, deep and accented, familiar enough now that you didn't need to turn around to know who it was.
"No," you responded confidently, pivoting on your heel to face Axel, your training partner for the 2 years.
Your foot caught on the edge of the practice mat, sending you stumbling forward.
You crashed into Axel’s chest, his strong hands catching your shoulders before you could completely demolish what little dignity you had left.
He laughed, the sound rumbling through his chest and vibrating against your palms where they were splayed against his green gi.
His dark eyes crinkled at the corners, amusement dancing in them like firelight.
"Not nervous at all, I see," he teased, steadying you with a gentle squeeze. "Very convincing performance."
"Shut up," you muttered, feeling heat rush to your cheeks.
Two years training with elite fighters, and you still managed to trip over your own feet like an idiot. Some things really hadn't changed.
"Just testing your reflexes," you said, straightening your gi with an exaggerated flick of your wrists. "Good to know you're alert. Might need those quick hands today."
Axel raised one eyebrow, the corner of his mouth lifting in that half-smile that always made your stomach do a little flip.
The one that said he knew exactly what bullshit you were selling and was choosing to buy it anyway.
"My reflexes are perfect," he said, his Croatian accent wrapping around the words like silk. "Unlike your balance, apparently."
You narrowed your eyes at him, recognizing the challenge in his voice.
Your time spent together had taught you to read Axel Kovačević better than anyone.
The slight tilt of his head, the way he shifted his weight to the balls of his feet, he was baiting you.
His stance shifted subtly, the change so slight most people would miss it, but you'd spent hundreds of hours training with him.
You knew what was coming.
"Don't you dare—" you started, but he was already moving.
His hand shot out, a lazy jab that you easily deflected, slapping it away with your forearm.
The corner of his mouth twitched upward, the closest he ever came to a full smile when he wasn't actively laughing at your expense.
You countered with a half-hearted knife-hand strike aimed at his ribs, which he blocked with practiced ease, his forearm connecting with yours in a satisfying thwack.
The familiar rhythm of sparring settled over you both, the anxiety about the upcoming tournament dissolving into the background.
"Your form is sloppy today," he points out, his eyes never leaving yours as he circled you slowly. "Distracted by something? Or someone?"
"Yeah, your massive ego is taking up all the oxygen in the room," you fired back, feinting left before throwing a roundhouse kick that stopped just short of his thigh.
He caught your ankle in his large hand, holding it suspended between you.
For a moment, you were perfectly balanced, trusting him not to let you fall.
"My ego?" His eyebrow arched higher, those unique blue eyes narrowing playfully as he held your leg captive. "Says the person who bragged about breaking three boards with one strike for twenty minutes yesterday."
"It was four boards, and it was impressive as hell," you corrected, using his grip on your ankle as leverage to hop closer, throwing him off balance.
His eyes widened slightly at your unexpected move. You smirked as he stumbled back a half-step, his pale skin flushing along his cheekbones.
He shook his head, releasing your ankle but not before his thumb traced a quick circle against your skin, so fast you might have imagined it if not for the trail of heat it left behind.
You landed gracefully, finding your center again as you circled each other in the practice area.
"You know," Axel said, his voice low enough that only you could hear, "when we first met, I thought you were just another American with more confidence than skill."
You lunged forward with a quick jab that he deflected, his forearm sliding against yours with practiced precision. "And now?"
"Still American," he replied with that half-smile, as he dodged your next strike. "But your skill..."
His movements slowed for just a moment, those unusual eyes studying you with an intensity that made your skin prickle. "Your skill is undeniable."
Something in his voice made your breath catch. These moments caught you off guard, when his usual quiet arrogance gave way to something genuine, something that felt like respect.
"Undeniable, huh?" you said, circling him with deliberate steps. "That's almost a compliment, Kovačević. Better be careful or people might think you actually like me."
Axel's eyes followed your movement, a predatory focus that somehow never felt threatening when it came from him.
"I tolerate you," he corrected, though the warmth in his voice betrayed him. "There's a difference."
"Uh-huh," you said, throwing a lightning-fast front kick that he caught with both hands this time. "That's why you spent three hours helping me perfect my hurricane kick last week. Because you 'tolerate' me."
"I was bored," he shrugged, releasing your foot. "And your technique was painful to watch."
"You’re painful to watch," you snap back jokingly.
Axel snorts, his green-ringed blue eyes catching the light as he shifts positions, moving into a defensive stance that's become as familiar to you as your own reflection.
He's about to respond when you hear sensei Wolf call out for you both.
"Time to head in," he says simply before walking away, leaving you two alone.
You take a deep breath, which Axel notices and lays a hand on your shoulder.
Wordlessly, he reassures you and you both head into the arena, ready to face the competition.
─── ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ──── ♡ ─── ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ─── ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ─
Miyagi-Do. Cobra Kai. Both names make your stomach twist as you read the names lined up with your dojo for Captain’s War.
Out of all the random selections, and they had to be in your first category?
Your team decides to attack the other team first, leaving Cobra Kai to approach Miyagi-Do first.
Fortunately, your four teammates impressively protect you and Axel from the opposing team, leaving you to fight the last three fighters on Cobra Kai.
You easily take their female captain down with a karate version of a Fujiwara armbar technique sensei Wolf taught you last summer.
But the minute you stand up straight to go stand by Axel, your co-captain who just won his match as well, your eyes interlock from across the mat.
With Miguel.
You can see the look of genuine surprise written across his face, those dark brown eyes widened with shock.
He’s standing next to Sam, who is just as shocked as he is, with the rest of your old teammates and sensei, sensei Lawrence.
Axel notices your lingering stare at the team across from you, and furrows his eyebrows when he see’s them, specifically, Miguel looking back at you a certain way.
The tournament announcer's voice fades to a muffled drone as you stand frozen, unable to tear your eyes away from Miguel's face.
Two years have changed him, his jaw is sharper, shoulders broader, hair styled differently, but his eyes are exactly the same.
The same eyes that used to crinkle at the corners when you made him laugh. The same eyes you'd avoided in the hallway that last day.
Axel shifts beside you, his presence solid and warm at your shoulder. You feel rather than see his attention move from you to Miguel and back again, those observant eyes missing nothing.
"That's them," he says quietly, his voice pitched low enough that only you can hear. It's not a question.
Your throat tightens. "Yeah."
Axel's hand brushes against yours, a fleeting touch that could be accidental but isn't.
His fingers are warm, briefly tangling with yours before he shifts his body slightly, positioning himself between you and Miguel's stare like a human shield.
"Come on," he murmurs, his voice a low rumble that vibrates through you. "Sensei is waiting."
His hand finds the small of your back, not pushing, just guiding with a gentle pressure that grounds you to the present.
The touch is protective without being possessive, and something about it makes your heart stutter in your chest.
The protective gesture isn't lost on you, it's so unlike Axel's usual hands-off approach that it momentarily distracts you from the shock of seeing your old friends.
Your feet move automatically, following his lead as he navigates you back to your team.
"You okay?" Sam asks as she watches Miguel watch Axel place his hands on you.
"Fine," Miguel breathes, ignoring the turning in his stomach as he sees the corners of your lips tug up when you look up at your male captain.
You used to look at him like that.
Sensei Wolf is smirking down at you when you return alongside with Axel.
"Great job implementing that MMA strategy into your fight," Wolf compliments you, sending a sense of satisfaction through you.
"Thank you, sensei," you nod, appreciating his acknowledgement.
"Next up are individual fights, and then bo-staff 1-on-1’s," he explains.
When you’re standing in front of your sensei, the past you left behind is soon forgotten, and you’re ready for the next category.
─── ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ──── ♡ ─── ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ─── ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ─
The tournament's food court buzzes with activity, a cacophony of different languages mingling with the clatter of plastic trays and the hiss of soda fountains.
Teams from every corner of the world cluster around tables, some celebrating early victories, others strategizing for upcoming matches.
The air smells like a weird mix of fried food, sports drinks, and the faint tang of antiseptic from the first aid station.
You balance your tray carefully, navigating through the crowd toward the corner table where Axel has already claimed territory.
He sits with his back to the wall, long legs stretched out, scrolling through his phone with a slight furrow between his brows.
"They were out of those protein bars you like," you announce, sliding into the seat across from him. "So I got you this weird energy drink instead. The lady swore it tastes like blueberries, but I'm pretty sure it's just chemicals and lies."
Axel looks up, tucking his phone away as his eyes land on the electric blue liquid.
He picks up the bottle, examining the label with suspicion.
"This says it contains 'essence of victory,'" he reads, his accent curling around the words with dry amusement. "Very scientific."
"Well, you better drink it then," you say, unwrapping your sandwich. "We need all the victory essence we can get after seeing that Brazilian team's forms. That girl with the red highlights was like a human tornado."
Axel snorts, but uncaps the bottle and takes a cautious sip. His face immediately contorts into an expression of such profound disgust that you nearly choke on your first bite of food.
"Oh my god," you laugh, covering your mouth. "Your face!"
"This," he says with quiet horror, staring at the bottle like it personally offended his ancestors, "tastes like someone melted a blue crayon into window cleaner."
You're laughing so hard now that tears spring to your eyes. "You- You did not have to be so dramatic!”
You're still laughing when Axel slides the offensive drink toward you with two fingers, as if minimizing contact might somehow protect him from further assault on his taste buds.
"You try it," he challenges, one eyebrow raised. "Since you find my suffering so amusing."
"No way!" you push it back toward him. "I value my taste buds too much."
"Coward," he says, the corner of his mouth twitching upward.
"Strategic," you counter, taking another bite of your sandwich. "Can't win gold if I'm dead from whatever that is."
Axel shakes his head, unwrapping his own lunch with methodical precision.
"So," he says after a moment, his eyes flicking up to meet yours. "How's your shoulder?"
He nods toward your right side where you'd taken a hard hit during the bo-staff competetion. You'd won, but not without cost.
"Fine," you say automatically, then amend when his eyebrow lifts skeptically. "Okay, it's a little sore. But nothing serious."
"Let me see," he wipes his hands off on the napkin to his left.
"It's fine, Axel, really," you protest, but he's already moved to sit beside you, the bench creaking slightly under his weight.
His proximity sends a rush of warmth through you that has nothing to do with your sore shoulder.
"I'll be the judge of that," he says, voice low enough that only you can hear. "Remember Taipei? When you said your ankle was 'just a little sore' and then we found out it was sprained in three places?"
"That was different," you mutter, but you're already shifting to give him better access, dropping your sandwich onto the tray.
His fingers are gentle as they probe your shoulder through your team jacket, finding the tender spot with unerring accuracy. You wince slightly, and his touch immediately lightens.
"Hmm," he hums, the sound vibrating through his chest. "It might be strained. Not serious, but we should put ice on it before the finals."
His hand lingers on your shoulder, thumb brushing back and forth almost absently as he studies your face.
You're suddenly aware of how close he is, his warm breathe softly hitting your ear.
"I told you it wasn't bad," you say, but your voice comes out softer than intended.
"You also told me that energy drink would taste like blueberries," he counters, his lips quirking up at one corner. "Forgive me if I question your judgment."
You laugh, shoving him gently with your good arm. "That was the vendor, not me! I was just the messenger of that chemical disaster."
"Chemical disaster," Axel agrees, but he's smiling now, a real smile that transforms his usually serious face into something that makes your heart skip. "An accurate description."
His hand slides from your shoulder down your arm in a casual touch that somehow doesn't feel casual at all.
The spot where his fingers traced your skin tingles with phantom warmth.
"Your poor taste buds," you tease, picking up your sandwich again. "Maybe you should—"
The words die in your throat as a shadow falls across your table.
You look up, sandwich halfway to your mouth, and time seems to stretch like taffy, pulling thin and slow around you.
Miguel stands there, one hand gripping the strap of his gym bag so tightly his knuckles are white, the other hand shoved deep in the pocket of his white gi.
"Hey," he says, the single syllable hanging in the air between you like a physical thing.
Axel goes perfectly still beside you, his body a solid wall of warmth against your side.
You feel your mouth go dry, sandwich forgotten in your hands.
Two years of imagined conversations, of what-ifs and should-have-saids, and now Miguel is standing right in front of you looking like he's seen a ghost.
"Hey," you finally manage, your voice steadier than you feel.
Miguel shifts his weight from one foot to the other, dark eyes flickering between you and Axel.
The silence stretches, charged with unspoken words.
"You look..." Miguel starts, then stops, swallows. "Different. Good different. I mean—you look good."
Axel's presence beside you feels suddenly more significant, his shoulder brushing yours as he straightens.
You can practically feel the tension radiating off him.
"Thanks," you say, because what else is there to say? "You too."
Miguel nods, a jerky motion that betrays his nerves.
"I didn't know you were competing," Miguel says, eyes darting between you and Axel. "I mean, I knew you were training somewhere, but Hong Kong? That's... wow."
The silence that follows feels like quicksand, pulling you deeper with every second.
You can sense Axel's eyes on your profile, observing, calculating, reading the situation with that uncanny perception of his.
"Iron Dragons," you finally say, gesturing vaguely to the logo on your jacket. "It's been... amazing."
Miguel nods again, shifting his weight. His eyes drift to Axel, question written clearly across his features.
"This is Axel," you say, trying to fill the awkward silence. "My co-captain—"
"And boyfriend," Axel interrupts smoothly, his accent thickening slightly as he extends his hand to Miguel. "Axel Kovačević."
Your heart stutters in your chest, but you manage to keep your expression neutral despite the shock rippling through you.
Boyfriend? What the hell is he doing?
Miguel's eyes widen almost imperceptibly before he takes Axel's outstretched hand.
You watch their knuckles whiten as they shake, neither willing to be the first to let go.
"Miguel Diaz," he responds, his gaze flicking between you and Axel. "We, uh, we used to train together. Back in California."
"Yes," Axel says, his voice warm but his eyes cool as winter. "I've heard all about The Valley."
He drapes his arm casually across the back of your chair, not quite touching you but definitely marking territory.
The gesture is so unlike him that you almost laugh—Axel, who normally maintains a careful distance in public, suddenly transformed into this possessive figure.
You shoot him a quick glance, trying to communicate a silent "what the hell?" with your eyes, but his attention remains fixed on Miguel, his expression perfectly pleasant and completely unreadable.
"So, boyfriend, huh?" Miguel says, his voice catching slightly on the word. "That's... great. How long have you two been...?"
"Two years," Axel says smoothly, his fingers finding the nape of your neck beneath your hair, tracing small circles that send shivers down your spine. "Almost since the day she arrived in China."
Your jaw nearly drops, but you manage to keep your expression neutral, though your pulse pounds in your ears.
"When you know, you know," Axel continues, his eyes never leaving Miguel's face. There's something almost predatory in his gaze, like a wolf protecting its territory.
"I watched her first practice with the team and thought, 'This one is different.'" His thumb brushes against the sensitive skin behind your ear, and despite your confusion, goosebumps erupt down your arm.
"She broke one of our teammates nose that day," Axel says, his voice taking on a warm, reminiscent quality that sounds so genuine.
"He tried to intimidate her," Axel continues, his eyes softening as they flick to your face. "You remember? He said something about American fighters being all flash, no substance."
You do remember. The memory floods back with startling clarity—Jian's smirking face, the way the other students had fallen silent, waiting to see how the new girl would respond.
"And she just smiled," Axel says remembering that little half-smirk sitting on your lips that said you knew exactly what you were capable of doing.
"And I remember thinking," Axel says, his voice dropping to that low, intimate tone that always makes your stomach flutter, "this is someone who understands what it means to fight for respect."
As he speaks, your mind drifts back to that first day with the Iron Dragons.
The memory is so vivid, the unfamiliar dojo with its high ceilings and walls decorated with ancient weapons, the smell of polish and sweat, the curious stares from two dozen fighters who'd trained together for years.
You'd felt so alone, so far from home, until that moment when you'd stopped trying to fit in and simply showed them who you were.
The satisfying crunch when your fist connected with Jian's nose. The shocked silence that followed.
And then Axel, standing apart from the others, those unusual blue-green eyes studying you with quiet approval.
"I knew I had to know her,” he finishes.
You stare at Axel in awe, your face warming up at his words.
The way he's recounting the memory, it's like he's describing a moment you both shared, something intimate and precious.
And the thing is, he's not wrong.
That is exactly how it happened, except for the part where he apparently fell for you on the spot.
At least that’s what you think.
Miguel stares at Axel, then at you, his expression shifting from surprise to something that looks almost like resignation.
"That's... wow," Miguel says, running a hand through his hair. "I guess Hong Kong was good for you."
There's a question in his eyes, one that's been there since he walked up to your table, but you can feel it fading now as he watches Axel's hand at the nape of your neck, the easy way you've leaned into his touch without even realizing it.
"It was," you confirm, your voice softer than intended. "It is."
Axel's fingers trace a pattern on your skin that feels like a question of his own.
You find yourself leaning further into his touch, not even realizing how natural it feels until you catch Miguel tracking the movement.
"Well," Miguel says, shifting his weight again, the vinyl floor squeaking beneath his sneakers. "I should probably get back. Semi-finals start in twenty minutes."
"Good luck," you offer, the words feeling both too much and not enough for everything that hangs unspoken between you.
Miguel nods, a small smile tugging at the corner of his mouth. It doesn't quite reach his eyes, which remain fixed on where Axel's fingers continue their gentle exploration of your nape.
"You too," he says. "Both of you."
He hesitates for a moment longer, as if there's something else he wants to say, something important perched on the tip of his tongue.
"It's really good to see you," Miguel finally says, his voice dropping to something almost tender. "You look happy."
The statement hangs in the air, simple yet weighted with meaning.
"I am," you say, and as the words leave your mouth, you realize they're true. Not just a convenient answer to push Miguel away, but a genuine truth that settles warmly in your chest. "I really am happy."
You lean back slightly, your body finding the solid warmth of Axel behind you, his presence steady and grounding.
His arm shifts to accommodate you, wrapping more securely around your shoulders in a gesture that feels both protective and possessive.
Miguel's eyes track the movement, lingering on the point where your body connects with Axel's.
Something flickers across his face—resignation, maybe, or acceptance—before he nods once, decisively.
"Good," he says softly. "That's—that's good."
His smile turns genuine then, though tinged with something that might be regret.
"Bye," he says softly.
"Bye, Miguel," you respond before he finally turns on his heel and walks back to his teammates waiting for him at another table across the room.
You turn to Axel smirking, not bothering to move away from him even though Miguel is now well out of sight.
The warmth of his arm across your shoulders feels too comfortable to abandon just yet, like slipping into your favorite sweater on a cold morning.
"Boyfriend, huh?" you spoke, your voice pitched low enough that only he can hear. "That's news to me. When exactly were you planning to let me know about our relationship status?"
Axel has the decency to look slightly abashed, a faint flush creeping up his neck to color his pale cheeks.
The red tint makes his unusual eyes stand out even more, the blue seeming brighter against the green rings around his irises.
"It seemed... efficient," he offers, though his arm remains firmly in place around your shoulders.
You raise an eyebrow, fighting the smile that threatens to break across your face. "Efficient?"
"Efficient," Axel repeats, but there's a hesitation in his voice you've rarely heard before.
His fingers absently trace patterns on your shoulder, sending little sparks of warmth through the fabric of your jacket. "I saw how he looked at you."
"And how was that?" you ask, unable to keep the curiosity from your voice.
Axel's eyes darken slightly, the blue-green depths shifting like an ocean before a storm. "Like he was seeing something precious he'd lost. Something he wanted back."
Your breath catches at the intensity in his voice.
"So you decided to stake your claim?" you ask, trying to sound teasing, but your voice comes out softer than intended.
"No," Axel says, his voice dropping to that low register that always seems to vibrate through you like a physical touch. "I wanted him to understand what he threw away."
His eyes meet yours, direct and unflinching in that way that's uniquely Axel.
No games, no pretense. Just truth, whether you're ready for it or not.
"The first day you walked into our dojo," he says, his voice so low you have to lean closer to hear him over the cafeteria noise, "with your shoulders back and your chin up like you were daring anyone to challenge you, I knew."
"Knew what?" Your voice comes out barely above a whisper.
"That you were extraordinary." The words fall between you like stones into still water, creating ripples you can feel spreading through your chest.
His words hang in the air between you, honest and bare in a way that steals your breath.
The cafeteria noise fades to a distant hum as you search his face, looking for any hint of teasing or insincerity.
But there's only Axel, waiting for your response with a stillness that betrays his nerves.
"You never said anything," you finally manage, your voice barely audible over the clatter of trays and distant conversations.
Axel's lips quirk up at one corner, not quite a smile but something softer, more vulnerable.
"What was I supposed to say? 'Welcome to Hong Kong, I think you might be the most fascinating person I've ever met'?"
"That would have been a start," you say, your heart hammering against your ribs like it's trying to break free. "Instead of waiting two years and using Miguel as an excuse to finally say something."
Axel's fingers still against your shoulder, his eyes dropping briefly to study the table between you as if it might hold the right words.
"You were hurting," he says simply. "I could see it in the way you fought. Like you were trying to prove something to someone who wasn't even there."
Your breath catches in your throat. No one has ever read you so accurately before, seen through the layers you carefully constructed around yourself.
"I was waiting for the right moment," he admits, his voice carrying that slight rasp it gets when he's being completely honest. "And then I saw him looking at you, and suddenly I was afraid there wouldn't be a right moment if I waited any longer."
Suddenly you couldn't wait any longer either. The realization crashes through you like a wave breaking against the shore—this feeling has been building for months, maybe longer.
In all those late-night training sessions when everyone else had gone home, the quiet conversations in broken English and halting Croatian as you both tried to bridge the language gap, the way his eyes always found yours across a crowded room.
"You know what?" you whisper, leaning closer until you can see the individual flecks of green circling his blue irises. "I'm tired of waiting for the right moment too."
Your hand finds the front of his jacket, fingers curling into the fabric as you pull yourself toward him.
His eyes widen slightly, surprise flickering across his usually composed features before understanding dawns.
Time seems to slow as you close the distance between you.
The first touch of his lips against yours is hesitant, questioning, a barely-there pressure that sends electricity sparking down your spine.
It's nothing like you imagined kissing Axel would be—and you have imagined it, in moments of weakness during sparring sessions, when his shirt would cling to his torso with sweat, or when he'd demonstrate a move with such fluid grace it made your breath catch.
No, this is softer, more tentative, as if he's afraid you might disappear if he presses too hard.
And then something shifts, like a key turning in a lock.
His hand slides from your shoulder to cup the back of your neck, fingers threading through your hair as he pulls you closer.
The kiss deepens, transforms from a question into an answer, and suddenly you're drowning in sensation.
He tastes like mint and the faintest hint of that terrible blue energy drink, and somehow the combination is intoxicating.
The cafeteria noise fades completely, replaced by the thundering of your heart.
His arms wrap around you, strong and secure, and you melt into him like you've found your way home after a long journey.
The kiss deepens, and you're vaguely aware that you're in a public space, that your teammates could walk in at any moment, but you can't bring yourself to care.
When you finally pull away, breathless and dizzy, the noise slowly comes back into focus around you.
Axel's eyes are darker now, the blue almost completely overtaken by dilated pupils, and there's a vulnerability in his expression that you've never seen before.
"I've wanted to do that since you broke Jian's nose," he confesses, his voice rough around the edges.
You laugh, the sound bubbling up from somewhere deep inside you, genuine and free in a way you haven't felt in years. "That's a weird turn-on, Kovačević."
"Only for you," he murmurs, his thumb tracing the curve of your cheek with a gentleness that makes your heart ache. "Only ever for you."
The words settle into your bones like they've always belonged there, like they've been waiting for you to hear them.
You lean your forehead against his, closing your eyes to savor the moment.
"So," you whisper, not pulling away, "that boyfriend thing wasn't just for Miguel's benefit?"
You feel rather than see his smile, the slight shift in his muscles.
"Not just for him," Axel whispers back, his breath warm against your lips.
"Though his face when I said it—" He pulls back just enough to meet your eyes, a rare mischievous glint in his own. "Worth it."
You laugh, shoving his shoulder lightly. "You're terrible."
"And yet," he says, capturing your hand and bringing it to his lips, "you kissed me anyway."
A pleasant warmth spreads through your chest at the gesture, so unexpectedly gentle from someone who can break boards with his bare hands.
"Maybe I was just curious," you tease, even as your fingers intertwine with his.
His fingers tighten around yours, a silent reassurance that this moment is real.
"Just curious?" he echoes, his voice pitched low enough that the words feel like they're traveling directly from his lips to your skin. "Should I be offended?"
You laugh, the sound light and free in a way you haven't felt in years. "Maybe. Or maybe you should convince me it was worth the wait."
The corner of his mouth lifts in that half-smile that's become so familiar over the past two years.
The one that used to drive you crazy with its quiet arrogance but now sends warmth pooling in your stomach.
"A challenge?" Axel raises one eyebrow, his thumb tracing the delicate bones of your wrist. "You know I never back down from those."
"I'm counting on it," you murmur, surprised by your own boldness.
"Maybe I'm just curious too," Axel counters. "Curious about how long I can keep kissing you before Sensei Wolf sends a search party."
Axel doesn't release your hand, instead pulling you closer until your knees bump under the table.
The contact sends a fresh wave of warmth through you.
"We have fifteen minutes," he says, his voice low enough that only you can hear. His eyes search yours, suddenly serious. "But before we go back, I need to know..."
He pauses, and you're struck by how unusual it is to see Axel hesitate.
He's always so certain, so measured in everything he does.
Axel's thumb traces an invisible pattern on your palm as his eyes study your face with an intensity that makes your heart race.
"I need to know," he continues, voice pitched so low you have to lean closer to hear him over the cafeteria noise, "if this is real for you. If it's not just about showing Miguel what he lost."
Axel Kovačević, the most confident fighter in the Iron Dragons, the man who once took down three opponents in under two minutes without breaking a sweat, is looking at you like you hold his heart in your hands.
"Axel," you say softly, squeezing his fingers between yours. "Miguel has nothing to do with this. With us."
You take a deep breath, your eyes never leaving his.
The room bustles around you, but in this moment, it might as well be just the two of you in the entire world.
"When I left California, I was running away from something," you admit, your voice steady despite the vulnerability of the confession. "From Miguel, from what happened, from feeling like I wasn't enough."
Axel's expression softens, his thumb tracing gentle circles on your palm that somehow ground you, giving you the courage to continue.
"But somewhere between my first day at the dojo and you helping me hang string lights in my apartment because I was too short to reach the ceiling," you say, a small smile tugging at your lips.
"I stopped running away and started running toward something." Your voice softens as you hold his gaze. "Toward you."
The confession hangs in the air between you, honest and raw.
Axel's fingers tighten around yours, his usually stoic expression shifting into something open and soft that makes your heart ache.
"It's always been you," you whisper. "Not Miguel, not anyone else. You."
You slide your free hand up to cup his face, feeling his soft skin against your palm.
Axel's eyes darken at your confession, the blue nearly disappearing as his pupils dilate.
"You have no idea," he murmurs, his accent thickening with emotion, "how long I've waited to hear you say that."
His hand comes up to cover yours where it rests against his cheek, turning slightly to press his lips against your palm.
The gesture is so tender, so unlike the fierce competitor you've trained beside, that melts your heart.
There’s an announcement over the PA system about the semi-finals starting soon, but it all fades to white noise as Axel slowly leans forward.
"We should go," he whispers, his breath warm against your lips. "The finals..."
But neither of you moves, caught in the gravity of this moment two years in the making.
"They can wait another minute," you murmur, your fingers sliding up to trace the sharp line of his jaw.
The corner of his mouth quirks up in that half-smile that never fails to make your stomach flip. "Just one?"
"Maybe two," you concede, your own lips curving to match his.
His smile widens at your words, and there's something almost reverent in the way his eyes trace your face, like he's memorizing every detail.
His hand slides to the nape of your neck, fingers threading through your hair with a gentleness that contrasts sharply with his strength in the ring.
"Two minutes," he agrees, his voice a low rumble that resonates through your chest. "But I should warn you—"
"What?" you whisper, already leaning in, drawn to him like gravity.
"Two minutes won't be enough," he murmurs, the words ghosting across your lips. "Not even close."
And then he's kissing you again, and this time there's nothing hesitant about it.
His lips move against yours with purpose, with certainty, with two years of unspoken longing finally given voice.

Headcanons for being a black belt and joining Cobra Kai
Cobra Kai x reader
warnings:
a/n: takes place roughly season 2 yeehaw. EMCON I HOPE U LOVE THIS
prompt: @the-radio-star: “*rises from the dead to send in a cobra kai request* could I please request Cobra Kai headcanons for being a new student in the Valley who was a black belt back home on the East Coast? thank youuuuuu!!!! COBRA KAI NEVER DIES”
you were da new kid in the valley
and you were actively seeking a new dojo
and what better dojo to pick than the one that won the “all valley championship” or whatever? i mean, it’s gotta be good, right?
one day after class, you visited this “cobra kai” dojo and recognized a few kids from your new school
and perfect timing as summer was just around the corner
“hey, new kid! joining our dojo? here to learn some karate?” -hawk
“actually, i’m a black belt” -you
“hah, nice one!” -hawk, followed by deafening silence “you’re serious?”
“yeah, uh, where’s your sensei?” -you
“he’s in his office, follow me” -miguel “sensei, a newcomer”
“hell yeah, come on in” -johnny “starting your karate journey with cobra kai, not a bad choice”
“actually, i’m a black belt back home. i just moved here from the east coast and i needed a new…dojo home. you guys won a tournament recently?” -you
“we sure as shit did!” -johnny
“well, i’ve won a few tournaments back home. i also have a letter of recommendation and my sensei’s contact information if you need verification or something that i’m—” -you, abruptly cut off
“nah, i don’t need all that shit. just come out onto the mat and i’ll have you fight our champion. that’ll tell me what i need to know” -johnny
you followed his instructions and walked out to the mat where his class was waiting. he instructed them to make room for a spar and called miguel up.
“class, this is…uh, what was your name?” -johnny
“y/n” -you
“this is y/n from all the way on the east coast…somewhere vague. says their a black belt in karate. won a few tournaments. we’re about to put that to the test” -johnny
you and miguel took fighting stances and once “fight” was called, you quickly took action to prove yourself. a few showy moves, then straight for the victory.
miguel was on his back on the mat in less than 10 seconds
“well, i’m inclined to believe you, y/n. come to my office, we’ll fill out some paperwork and get you a gi. miguel, you can lead warmups so long as you don’t get knocked on your ass again today” -johnny
“yes, sensei” -miguel
“man, i’m glad i didn’t have to fight them. that must have been embarrassing” -hawk
“shut up, man. sensei is mad at you, too. don’t push it.” -miguel
honestly, you were very surprised by the karate culture of the valley
“is—is this why my mom had to sign a waiver?” -you standing in front of a fucking cement truck “is this even legal?! is this how you guys train??”
“just don’t draw attention’s to yourself and you’ll be fine” -bert
“yeah, sounds like a plan. and what’s this old guy’s story?” -you, pointing at kreese
“dude. you’re gonna get me drowned in cement” -bert, scooting away
anyways, joining the dojo did help you make some new friends
and you loved these beach days with your classmates
“dude, dating the daughter of your sensei’s arch nemesis is kind of crazy. like, what are the odds of that” -you
“can we not talk about sam anymore?” -miguel
“you’re literally the one that brought her up, we were just trying to play volleyball” -you
dojo days really started to become your favorite
sensei lawrence was comedy gold
“does he actually think ‘hashtag’ is ‘hashbrown?’” -you
“just…don’t” -aisha
you loved how cut and dry he was
and how he just insults everyone unapologetically
“yeah, sensei, you tell ‘em!” -you after johnny calls someone else a pussy
you actually started to get in the groove of rivalry
but like you didn’t 100% know it was serious and like, very deep seated hate like you thought it was a bit
“yeah we should burn their dojo down!” -you, trying to fit in
“i like how you think, lets do it!” -hawk
“wait, no, i was joking” -you
“hahah, yeah…me too” -hawk, lying
during valley fest you guys but on like, a really badass show and you honestly loved the vibes
but like, this wasn’t like any dojo you’ve seen before
“it’s gotta be a west coast thing. or like, a california thing” -you to your parents
you became one of johnny’s favored students fast
and when tory joined up, she also fought miguel
“does sensei just let miguel beat up all the new recruits? what is the sense behind that? tory doesnt even have karate experience.” -you
“neither did miguel and he won the all valley” -aisha
“HE DIDNT HAVE ANY EXPERIENCE??” -you
what do you mean the all valley top 3 were all new to karate???
who else was in this tournament????
you went to the beach/resort with aisha and tory and it was actually a good time. you were glad to make friends over the summer
“aisha, i never want to leave this place. summer in california is awesome” -you
“compared to where you came from? i’d be in awe too” -tory
“uh, that was rude” -you “but true”
meeting sam after hearing miguel complaining was surreal
“that’s her? he didn’t mention she hated fun” -you
johnny let you lead class sometimes
which kind of gave you an ego boost he encouraged
you be glaring at sensei kreese tho that guy didn’t have the right vibe
“good job today, y/n” -kreese
“yeah, i know” -you
you were pretty excited for the prospects of the next all valley
which you wish you didn’t miss by a hair this year you could have kicked miguel and robby’s asses
“i would have won the last all valley” -you
“doubt it” -miguel
“i knocked you on your ass five minutes after meeting you” -you
“that wasn’t a tournament” -miguel
“just you wait” -you
you called home every once in a while to update your friends from school and your dojo friends
“what? cement truck? that’s not legal, y/n, you need to contact the police” -old friend
“nah, it’s fine, i had fun” -you
definitely raised concern in your former sensei, but you told everyone it was chill
“it’s cool to learn a different take on karate. very…badass” -you
you were being converted (?)
or would you stick to your roots
only time would tell
you learned more and more about the local karate drama and you were SAT with all this tea
“yeah, and so, don’t tell anyone this, by the way. or else i will kick your ass” -hawk, beginning to whisper “robby keene is sensei lawrence’s kid. shut the fuck up tho dont tell a single soul”
“WHAT” -you
that knowledge had you on the floor with a diagram of drama to connect the dots
“ok so in the 80s johnny was a student at cobra kai, larusso was new to the valley from jersey, starts to train in karate with a ‘mr. miyagi,’ larusso crane kicks johnny and johnny leaves cobra kai—something has to be missing from that, kreese was his sensei? he seems a little off i dont like him—johnny reopens cobra kai years later after miguel inspires him to become a sensei, miguel starts dating larusso’s daughter, johnny’s son starts working for larusso and joins his dojo, miguel and robby face off in the all valley tournament. am i missing anything?” -you
“you’re just scratching the surface” -hawk and miguel
“get me up to speed before school starts. please” -you
you got the sam edition(tm) from aisha too
AND aisha’s very graphic rendition of her standing up to yasmine
“front wedgie…aisha how did you even think of that?” -you
honestly you wanted to observe the drama, not be apart of it
little did you know that was not really an option in CK
especially when the miyagi do dojo is defiled
you kinda side eyed hawk while johnny yelled at everyone about it. he did seem pretty enthused when you made a joke about burning down their dojo
damn, you hoped no one would bring that joke up thats actually really incriminating
anyways, johnny went on his trip with his old cobra kai homies (which u thought was really sweet you hoped in 30 years you could still be friends with your less-destructive karate buds)
you went to coyote creek with the gang for a training exercise
“you ever do anything like this back home?” -tory
“uh…not really? i mostly did weapons training, kata, some sparring…in a dojo, of course” -you
“yeah, sensei lawrence isn’t exactly the most traditional” -miguel “when i was his only student he actually tied my hands and threw me into a pool in the middle of the night when no one was around”
“HUH??” -you
once you were all deep in the forest and the rules were explained to steal headbands and such, you had a question of your own
“are there any animals or bugs native to california i should be concerned about? like, florida had alligators and their student get trained to run away in zigzags—is there anything out here that you guys have been trained to escape that i should know about?” -you
your question was laughed at but you were dead serious
u were on miguel’s team and noticed an awkward rift once the “battle” was over
“dude, what’s wrong?” -you
“this is” -miguel flashing the medal of honor he took from hawk
“is that..?” -you, connecting more dots “i think i need a notebook or something to keep up with this”
“that’s weird. don’t do that” -miguel
“noted” -you
you were shocked to hear that kreese had been booted from CK
“i wonder if miyagi do has this much drama?” -you
before the summer was over, hawk’s ex moon threw a party and you were over the moon (haha get it) to be able to meet more people before classes were back in
maybe making friends outside of the dojo was a good move
unfortunately it didn’t take long for dojo rivalry to ruin the party
we got moon’s new gf, hawk and demetri argument, sam and tory drink-off, sam and miguel kiss, and then the cops showing up
“we just cant have a non-messy outing can we? on the east coast we could just go to school, go to the dojo, go to the mall, go to parties and no one got in some weird karate driven fight” -you, complaining while running from the cops
“can you stop talking about the east coast? you’re in the valley, this is what happens in the valley” -miguel
you try a hard reset when your first day of school starts
meet up with your friends, find your classes, have a great first day of the new school year!
everything had been tense since moon’s party, but you weren’t gonna let that affect you!
until tory got on the PA and summoned sam for a karate brawl
“no fucking way. no way. i cannot be apart of this” -you
it did not take long until you were apart of this
in the hallways of your new school, terrible way to start the year, you were just trying to break it up!!!!
but as soon as someone hit you in the face all bets were off you were a menace
blah de blah blah tory cuts sam with her bracelet, robby throws miguel over the railing down the stairs, everybody gets a vibe check, miguel is in the hospital in a coma, tory is arrested, robby is on the run
miraculously you have been cleared of all wrongdoing as you talked your way out of it
“i’m new here, i don’t even know these people!! i was just scared for my life so i fought back. i could have been thrown down the stairs too, my parents could sue!!” -you
despite all your dojo rivalries, you checked in on sam when you crossed paths at the hospital. you knew how much she meant to miguel and you thought that was fucking insane
“i know we don’t really know each other from anything but karate, but i really didn’t know what was going on. im new to the valley and im trying to make friends, i never thought it’d end up like this” -you
“yeah, sometimes we make friends with the wrong people” -sam
“i grew up with karate, and cobra kai had just won this super popular tournament over here, it seemed like the right choice” -you
“i get it. i know it’s not your fault. and it’s nice to meet you now that we’re not at each other’s throats—this karate rivalry is decades old, too. i can’t even keep up with it” -sam
“you think miguel is gonna pull through?” -you
“i hope so…i dont know how i’ll go on if he doesn’t. so he has to” -sam
“i feel you there…this might be a bad time, but are there any openings at miyagi do?”

don’t leave me hanging omg, write the concept. miguel brain rot is on 24/7 — 🧠
You were surprised none of Miguel’s neighbors had complained yet. There were teenagers scattered all around the inside of Johnny’s apartment and the outside, loud music blasting and a fair share of drinks being passed around. At least everyone was getting along after the long overdue karate feud.
You were nursing a red solo cup while standing in the corner of the room, taking small sips. The taste of alcohol didn’t really appeal to you. Your friends engaged in chatter that you chimed in once in awhile, but you were a bit distracted.
“Are you going to talk to him or keep eye-fucking?”
“What?” Your eyes moved away from Miguel’s. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“You guys have been staring at each other all night,” your friend pointed out. “He’s single, you’re single.” She made gestures with her hands for emphasis.
You shook your head while looking down to hide how red your face had gotten. “He doesn’t like me like that. We’re friends.”
“Lame,” your other friend bursted. “Go talk to him! Congratulate him on winning karate again or something.”
You rolled your eyes while taking a drink to avoid the conversation.
Her friend smirked suddenly with an idea. “Hey, can I borrow your jacket? I’m a little cold.”
You were feeling hot from the crowded room, so you were a little confused on how she was the opposite, but you did so nevertheless. You removed the cropped denim jacket to expose more of the little black dress you had on. You smiled while handing it to her.
Miguel felt his mouth go dry. His eyes scanned up and down your body from afar, the silk perfectly hugging your body and exposing valleys of skin he had never seen before.
A pat on his shoulder made him jump as he was forced to look away.
“Hey, man,” Hawk greeted. He noticed you and looked back at Miguel with a smirk. “You gonna make a move tonight, or what?”
Miguel chuckled nervously and shook his head. “I don’t think she likes me like that. I mean, we’ve been friends since we were both in Cobra Kai. Isn’t that a bit weird?”
Hawk scoffed. “No. That just builds up more chemistry. And pent up frustration.” Miguel looked at him curiously as he clarified. “Sexual frustration.”
“Dude.”
“It’s true! Remember that time you went out with Sam and she nearly broke some kid’s arm. Or when she got asked out and you broke the practice dummy.”
Even though Hawk’s statements were technically true, Miguel still had his doubts. What would a girl like you want with a guy like him?
“You just gotta go for it, man. Before someone else does,” Hawk advised and motioned his head towards Chris and Mitch who had started talking to you. You immediately started smiling and laughing at what they were saying.
Miguel held back a glare as he handed his cup to Hawk. He cheered, “That’s my boy!”
Your laughter died down as Miguel approached the three of you. You smiled at him in greeting that he returned before looking at Chris and Mitch.
“Robby wants you guys to refill the cooler outside,” he told them.
“But I just did five minutes ago,” Mitch said.
“Well, he wants you to do it. Again.”
Miguel was grateful Chris was the smarter one between the two as he was beginning to catch on.
“Yeah, it’s no problem.” There was almost a smug smile on Chris’ face. “Come on, man.” He began dragging Mitch away, the boy complaining that he already did once again.
That just left you and Miguel.
You glanced behind you to see your friends had ran off somewhere, of course. There was a small beat of silence between you two.
“How are you?”
“This is a great party.”
You two spoke at the same time. You both laughed.
“Sorry. You go first,” Miguel insisted.
“I said this is a great party,” you repeated. “I’m surprised your mom was okay with it.”
“Well, Johnny told her that it was just Miyagi-Do and Eagle Fang ‘hanging out.’”
When you were about to respond, someone knocked into you. As you tripped forward slightly, Miguel had his arms out to catch you. You sheepishly apologized while standing straight.
“Um, did you wanna go somewhere less crowded,” he proposed.
You nodded and started following him out. People from school were still showing up and it seemed the outside was becoming just as packed. You maneuvered around while still trying to keep up with Miguel. He turned to face you and offered his hand out so you wouldn’t lose each other. You took it, trying to hide your growing smile.
He guided you across towards his apartment. He opened the door and let you inside first. You were still able to hear the music and chatter of people, but it reduced slightly. Plus, you guys were completely alone now.
“Sorry. I thought it would be better here to talk and stuff. Unless you wanted to go back to the party. I’m fine with either, I just assumed—“
“It’s fine, Miguel,” you cut him off with a light chuckle. “It was getting a little overwhelming out there.” You set your empty cup on the dining table and moved to lean on the edge of the couch.
“C-can I tell you something,” he asked, standing in front of you.
“You can tell me anything.”
Your smile made him weak in the knees. His hands suddenly felt clammy as he clenched and unclenched his fists.
“I…I really like you.”
“I like you too.”
Miguel gulped. “No. I mean I like-like you. Like more than friends type of way.”
“Oh.”
Oh?
“If you don’t feel the same way, it’s fine. I get it. We’ve been friends for a long time and I understand not wanting to ruin that. It’s just that when I’m around you, I feel different. Different like you’re the one person in my life I’d hate to lose or I wouldn’t mind kissing. You know, that was probably a really weird thing to say. I’m sorry—“
“Miguel.” You laughed a bit. “It’s okay. I like-like you too.”
“Really,” he breathed out in disbelief.
You nodded. “And you’re the person I wouldn’t mind kissing either.”
Your hands reached forward to grasp his flannel and pull him closer towards you. The heels gave you an advantage to be nearly face to face with him. The close proximity made you both nervous, but someone had to make the first move.
Meeting halfway, Miguel’s lips pressed against yours in a savory kiss. His hands rested on his either side of your neck, his thumbs on the underside of your jaw and pulling you in even closer. You pulled away briefly, seeing his heart-shaped pupils and puffed lips parted. He pulled you back in with urgency.
There was only the heat of the moment, the electricity between you two, and the pure, unbridled passion of your kiss. It was a moment you would remember forever, a moment that would stay with you long after the kiss had ended.
The buzz of Miguel’s phone brought you back to Earth. He seemed to have no intention of stopping, though.
You pulled away, his lips immediately attaching to the side of your neck. “Do you wanna get that,” you asked, slightly breathless.
“Not really,” Miguel answered and kissed you again.
His phone eventually stopped until whoever was calling decided to call again. You laughed slightly at Miguel’s annoyance when he pulled away.
“It’s okay,” you reassured, one of your hands combing through his hair.
Miguel begrudgingly answered the phone with a haughty, “What?”
“Dude, where are you,” Hawk asked from the other line.
“I’m a little busy right now.” Miguel pinched your hip lightly in warning as you continued sucking on the skin of his neck.
“Well, I’ve been looking everywhere for you. I need a beer pong partner.”
“Ask Robby.” Your hand began to trail down his body.
“I’m going against him, dumbass.”
He held back a groan when you squeezed his hard on over his jeans. “I gotta go.”
“But—“
Miguel hung up and tossed his phone on the couch. You yelped in surprise when he lifted you, your legs wrapping around his waist in response.
Once in his room, he had shut the door swiftly with his foot. Next thing you knew, you were lying back on the bed with Miguel hovering over you, leaving wet kisses and sucking on your exposed chest. One of your hands was threaded in his hair as the other tightly gripped the comforter. His hand slowly trailed up your thigh, giving a soft squeeze and earning a low moan from you.
Miguel pushed the bottom of your dress up to your stomach, exposing the black shorts underneath. He looked at you as you were panting already from the build up.
"You okay," he whispered.
"Of course."
He pecked your lips before going down on his knees at the edge of the bed. He ran his hands over your thighs, placing light kisses ever so often. Eventually, he hooked his fingers onto the waistband of your shorts and pulled them off, leaving just your underwear.
Miguel was hesitant at first as he ran his thumb over the wet patch, but you moaned softly from above as you tried closing your legs if he wasn't in the way. He repeated the motion with more pressure, causing you to jolt. He enjoyed the reactions.
He gently guided your underwear over your hips and slid them out from under you. A soft gasp emitted as you felt Miguel slip his tongue between your lips. Your mind went blank as he licked, his tongue spreading over your clit in smooth strokes. His open mouth panted heavy, moist breaths over your cunt, absorbing every drop of essence as it pooled on his tongue.
Your fingers tugged on his hair, your back arching off the bed slightly. You could feel a growing sensation low in your stomach, your orgasm twisting and winding into a tight knot.
A sudden gasp fell from your lips as he slowly pushed a finger inside of you. You inhaled sharply, eyes rolling back as he pushed his pointer finger in knuckle by knuckle until he rubbed the tip of his finger against that tougher spot inside of you.
His finger slipped in and out a few times until he added a second. It made you choke, walls clamping down and tightening painfully, tears pricking your eyes in a mix of pain and pleasure. Miguel kept them still as he leaned forward to press soft kisses on your clit.
“You're doing so good, baby. I just need to relax, okay?"
You nodded, even though you were sure he couldn't see it. You exhaled loudly, gasping just as loud before groaning and bucking your hips unconsciously. He resumed pushing in and out, his fingers shined with arousal.
You could feel every inch of his fingers inside as his mouth continued to stay hot and slick against your cunt, letting his spit collect all around. Your eyes rolled back when your stomach began twisting, feeling as though something was on your chest. You whimpered, followed by a groan of his name as your body relaxed once the knot snapped, and your vision blurred.
Miguel lapped up the mess and licked his fingers clean, watching the way your chest rose and fell rapidly. You looked utterly fucked the way your hair was sprawled out and little breaths leaving your plump lips, your head tilted to the side and eyes still shut.
He moved beside you and kissed your temple, combing your hair back. “You still got one more left for me?”
With shining eyes, you looked up at him and nodded.
Miguel grinned as he started to remove his flannel and shirt. Your thighs rubbed together while staring at him undo his jeans. You shakily stood on your knees and shuffled closer to him.
He gave you a tender, slow kiss, but you weren’t ready for such gentleness at this point in time. Instead, you wrapped your arms around his neck and pulled him closer to you. A low groan released from his throat as his hands moved from your hips to the zipper of your dress. You pulled away to disregard the rest of your clothing before pulling Miguel onto the bed.
He sat back as you straddled him, lips moving together once more. Reaching between the two of you, you grabbed his leaking cock so you could set him up at your entrance. As you lowered yourself, you inhaled slowly through your nose since the preparation and care he had given you had made the stretch easy to endure. As a result, all you felt was the full sensation he had given you.
You performed an exploratory hip roll once you were seated completely. You let out a groan at the feeling, every little motion causing electricity to tingle through your body.
Miguel sat up, you two now chest to chest while he held you firmly. “Fuck, you feel fucking amazing.” He placed wet kisses along your chest.
The noises of the party drowned out his moans as you began to ride him in earnest. His hands settled on your hips, causing the soft flesh to crease as he started responding to your thrusts with his own. You could feel him moving deeper with every motion, until eventually you could almost feel him in your stomach.
“Miguel,” you gasped out, meeting his gaze.
“I’ve got you, amor.” His mouth attached to one of your breasts, making you whimper.
His actions left your limbs feeling like rubber while he proceeded to fuck into you harder. Your tongue grazed his flushed skin, your head tucked into his neck.
“Making me feel so good,” you told him gently in his ear. “Want you to finish in me. Want all of you.”
Your babbling was cut off by a higher pitched moan at Miguel’s hard thrusts, your words egging him on more.
“Think you can take it all, baby?” His forehead pressed against yours as you nodded with a pleading look. “I’ll give you everything. Again. Again. And again.” He punctuated with each thrust, your grip on his shoulders tightening. “You gonna cum? Can feel it.”
“Please.”
Your loud moans echoed throughout the room as your legs tightened around his, your body moving faster to keep you on your high. You could feel Miguel spilling out of you, the warm feeling comforting the both of you. His arms wrapped around your waist to cease your shudders as he placed light kisses upon your shoulder.
Miguel, though he didn’t want to, slowly removed himself from you, a small whimper slipping past your lips. He laid you down on his bed and told he’d be right back. When he returned, he had a damp washcloth in one hand and a water bottle in the other. He carefully cleaned you up, knowing your legs must be sore, and sat you up to take a few sips of water.
He smiled gently at you and kissed your forehead, making your face flush in admiration. He grabbed an extra t-shirt for you and changed into a pair of new boxers for himself. Once settled beside you, Miguel draped the comforter over both of your bodies.
You both stared at each other, a grin on your lips as you leaned forward for one last kiss in the night.
hera speaks!

Maybe. [Miguel Diaz x fem!Reader] (Cobra Kai)
(~from the vault~)
Miguel Diaz is annoying. That you are convinced of. Sure, you've never really talked to him, but still, you live a very happy life that way. But then one day he gets wasted at a party and you end up with the unfortunate job of driving him home. Sounds like just your luck.
Warnings: making out, little jokes about sex, some sexual tension there. enemies to lovers except the enemies part is completely one-sided
Word count: 9,567
[...]
Miguel Diaz wasn’t the kind of guy to have a lot of enemies.
He had, in fact, become fairly popular after he started doing karate and won a fight against West Valley’s biggest bully, surpassing the loser label that had immediately been slapped onto him when he’d moved into the neighborhood.
He was the typical nice guy who pretty much everyone seemed to like. Good at school, the type who wouldn’t hesitate to help you with schoolwork if you asked him to. Always nice to everyone, greeting and smiling at random people he’d never talked to before in the hallways as if they were one of his friends.
But, to you, Miguel Diaz was just irritating.
Everything about him somehow made you mad. He was just so apparently perfect and all of a sudden people couldn’t seem to shut up about him and that was sure to make you nothing short of annoyed. Yeah, you supposed he did seem nice, but you were positive it was impossible that all that sudden praising hadn’t gotten to his head.
You were convinced he was a huge asshole deep down, just a loser who got lucky enough. And though you had no real evidence to back that up, yet to see this facade of his that you convinced yourself of, you still couldn’t get yourself to like him.
Whatever. You could survive a life without him in it.
It didn’t help, though, that your best friend was friends with him. Did karate with him, too. Aisha absolutely loved Miguel, and seemed to make sure to mention it to you all the time.
They were genuinely good friends, and so you supposed you did feel a little bad when you dragged her to sit with you and away from her Cobra Kai friends during lunch, but you were positive that if you tried to sit with them you’d end up saying some not very nice things, and you weren’t up for drama at the moment.
But she kept bugging you about it, insistently so, and god, could Aisha be persistent when she wanted to. So one day, to shut her up about it mostly, you agreed to go with her and her friends to a party at the canyon.
You told her you’d try to be nice, but made a promise to yourself to keep distance from a certain someone specifically. Maybe then you’d be able to enjoy the night and- hey- maybe even the others’ company.
Maybe.
[. . .]
“Don’t just stand there!” Aisha laughed.
“Since when are you a party person?”
“Since I realized I could throw them!”
Wait, what? “Wait, this is your party?”
“Well it’s a Cobra Kai party…”
Alright, so you didn’t want to give it to them. Cobra Kai as a whole annoyed you to no end, as it seemed to be a breeding factory for nerds turned into stuck-up assholes, but you couldn’t deny you were grateful for how much it helped Aisha. The Aisha you knew a few months prior would have never had the guts to throw a party, let alone assume people would attend it.
So, fair enough. “Cool!” “Hey Aisha come watch me do a keg stand!” Some guy you’d seen walking around with the Cobra Kai guys before yelled from the other side of the place.
Aisha glanced back at you, seemingly a bit torn about leaving you. “Do you wanna come?”
“No it’s fine. I think I’m gonna grab something to drink. Now go!” You assured her, smiling. You wanted her to enjoy having other friends.
You barely had time to pick yourself up a drink before you weren’t alone anymore.
“Y/N!” A guy wearing a graphic t-shirt that quite literally read ‘📍your mom’ under a flower pattern button-up called your name, walking towards you. You furrowed your eyebrows, confused, as you were completely sure you’d never talked to him before.
You didn’t know how to feel about not being so invisible anymore, all by association with Aisha. It definitely felt a little weird. “Um. Have we- have we met? Sorry.”
“Not really. But Aisha talks about you a lot. I’m Demetri, by the way,” he held out his hand, and you shook it. What teenager shakes hands these days?
“Well, Y/N.”
“Yeah, I know,” he laughed. “So, you want me to show you everyone?”
“Uh. Okay. Sure. Yeah. That'd be cool."
“So, that’s Eli-” He pointed at the guy who sported a blue-dyed mohawk, and was currently rather busy making out with someone you actually knew- Moon. You didn’t exactly like Moon, but you supposed she did seem to be more of an out-of-touch person than a mean one, compared to her friends. “Uh yeah, who’s apparently making out with Moon. Somehow. He likes to be called Hawk now but I think that’s pretty ridiculous.”
“It is.”
“Yeah well he used to uh- some people used to call him Lip. ‘Cause he has a scar.”
“That’s him?” Said boy pulled away from Moon, and you took a good look at him. It was him. You always thought he looked cute, but you had to admit now he looked kind of hot.
You had to give Cobra Kai some credit in that area too.
“Yeah.” Demetri turned you around. “Those two walking down are Robby and Samantha and-” He seemed to realize something, suddenly looking worried.
“Something wrong?”
“No uh. I don’t really talk to them. That,” he spun you around one last time, “Is Miguel. But you must know him already.”
“Yeah I’ve heard of him.” He was downing a beer bottle at rapid speed. “He’s really getting shitfaced,” you pointed out.
Demetri still looked worried, nervous. “Yeah uh, Sam’s his girlfriend.”
“The one walking down the hill?”
“Yeah.”
“So?”
“He thinks she’s cheating on him. With Robby.”
You looked at the two again, laughing, their fingers intertwined. You could be taking it wrong, of course, but it did look like they were together in some way. It wasn’t that far of a stretch to feel a little jealous of a scene like that at least. “Oh that sucks.”
You weren’t heartless, okay? Just because you didn’t like the guy didn’t mean you wanted him to get cheated on. If that’s what was even happening.
“We should go-” Demetri grabbed you by the wrist, pulling you with him on Miguel’s direction.
“What? No-” You weren’t heartless, but you weren’t his friend either. What were you going to do, comfort him? Let him cry on your shoulder? Come on now.
But you didn’t even have the time to protest. You were already there, and it seemed that so were the Samantha girl and the Robby guy , and Miguel didn’t look pleased.
Well, he was laughing, but it was definitely not a good kind of laugh.
“So I don’t have to worry, right? Well that’s funny.”
Miguel was wasted.
He tried to pick up a fight, and ended up hitting his own girlfriend on accident, which had, expectedly, resulted in her breaking up with him on the spot. Now you were sitting beside him, and you didn’t know what to do.
Wouldn’t it be best if you just left? Clearly you shouldn’t be here, his actual friends should be dealing with this. But then again it would be too shitty to leave Aisha on her own. You had agreed to be her designated driver after all.
Everyone was quiet, apparently not knowing what to say. God, someone really should bring the guy home.
Hawk spoke up, finally, voicing those same thoughts. “Um, dude, you should go home.”
“I’m fine.”
“You’re really drunk, man, just go home.”
“I walked here.”
“Shit. Right. Do any of you have a car?” Demetri asked no one in particular.
“Oh Aisha does. Well it’s her dad’s,” you pointed out, not really thinking it through.
Aisha’s look shot up. “But-” You could see she was conflicted. You could understand. Finally people wanted her around, and she wanted to stay a little longer for that.
You could not believe you were about to do this.
“I’m such a good friend,” you muttered, standing up, and Aisha looked at you, puzzled. You held your hand out. "Gimme the keys."
"What-"
"Do it before I change my mind."
She did as you said, placing it on your hand. You took another look at Miguel, then at Hawk. "Can you help him?"
Hawk immediately stood up to do so, and you made your way to Aisha's car, leaving both Aisha and Demetri behind with a promise you'd come back later to drive them all home too.
"Do you know where he lives?"
Hawk was done shoving a now barely conscious Miguel into the passenger's seat, buckling the seatbelt for him, which you took notice of. He seemed to care a lot about Miguel. "Yeah I'll- can you give me your number? I'll forward it."
"Sure."
[. . .]
"Where are we going?" At some point along the way Miguel seemed to have gained a little consciousness back, his eyes widening as he took bearing of his surroundings. You could understand why. He was in a random car going who-knows-where with a kind of random person who hated him. Well he didn’t really know about that last part, but still.
"I'm taking you home."
"No, no, no, no, no, no, my mom can't see me like this."
"What?"
"I can't go home like this you don't get it-"
"But where-"
"She's been so proud of me lately, I-" Was he… crying? So he was an emotional drunk. Miguel Diaz, a crier. Who would've thought.
"Well where the fuck am I supposed to take you?"
"I- sensei- no he lives next door you can't-"
"Diaz I'm gonna take you home. I don't care."
"Fuck."
You actually took a good look at him when you had to stop at a red light. He looked a mess. He was sweating, hair sticking to his forehead, legs shaking in anxiety.
You couldn't be this soft, right?
You sighed in annoyance, but you were doing this to yourself, really. "I'll take you to my place. But you better sober up cause you're gonna have to get in through the window."
He seemed surprised. "You'll do that?"
"Yeah don't get used to it. I'm kicking you out as soon as I wake up."
He stayed silent the whole ride, until you turned the engine off.
"Thanks," he muttered under his breath, before you opened the door to get out. You didn't reply.
You helped him out, holding him by his wrists until he got his balance back, and you both climbed through your bedroom window, which you were now thankful you'd left open.
"G’mme your phone."
“Why?”
“I’m gonna text your mom.” He unlocked it, getting the password wrong a few times before handing it to you. The texts you sent were simple.
hey mom im really tired gonna stay at demetri’s call you in the morning!
You didn’t know if trusting Miguel to be alone with his phone, in that state, especially after what had gone down at the canyon, was the smartest choice, so you took it with you, stuffing it in your back pocket.
“Okay look I still gotta get Aisha and the guys, so I'm trusting you to keep quiet." This was a bad idea. "Can you do that?" This was a terrible idea.
He nodded before plopping down on your bed. This was a horrible idea.
He was asleep in a second, and there was nothing else you could do but hope he'd stay that way as you climbed your way back out.
. . .
"Okay any of you that wanna get home get in the fucking car please," you said, not really up to stay and wait even more for them. After all, every second you were there was one more second in which a completely wasted Miguel Diaz was alone in your room, with your mom right there in hers.
All three got inside pretty quickly, and you dropped them off as fast as you could. Demetri first, then Hawk, Aisha last.
You actually got in through the door this time, so your mom would know you'd gotten home without having to go check your room. You prayed she hadn't done that already.
"Mom? You awake?"
"Yes! The party done?"
"Yeah. Had to drop some friends off, sorry I took too long."
"It's fine. Didn't Aisha pick you up though?"
"Oh yeah she left the car with me, got to be the driver for today. I’ll just pick her up tomorrow.”
"Oh okay honey!”
"Well I'm really tired. Gonna go to sleep.”
"Yeah, me too. Goodnight!"
“‘Night, Love you!”
With that, you quickly took off to your room to check on Miguel, who, surprisingly, was still asleep on your bed.
Your relief quickly washed away when you registered the fact that he was asleep… on your bed. You know, where you were supposed to sleep. Fucking great.
You considered waking him up and making him sleep on the floor. For… reasons that had everything to do with not being an asshole, and nothing to do with anything else at all, you didn’t.
You grabbed some blankets and placed them on the floor beside your bed, snatching one of your pillows from under his head. This was going to absolutely kill your spine.
You took one last look at him, and couldn’t contain a laugh at how ridiculous he looked, draped over the bed, hair disheveled, literally drooling. You’d have to change your pillowcase tomorrow.
‘Good-fucking-night, I guess.'
[. . .]
Your alarm went off at 7, as it always did on school mornings, and you jumped awake when you remembered how gross you probably were after the previous night. Miguel was still in deep sleep when you left to take a shower, but was sitting up on the bed, looking confused, when you came back. He’d apparently already taken the advil you left for him on your nightstand, as it was nowhere to be found.
“Are you- what am I doing here?”
“Drank too much. Cried like a baby when I tried to drive you home,” you shrugged. “Now hurry up, dude, or we’re gonna be late.”
“What?”
“Look we’ll talk in the car, I can’t be late for chemistry again or Mr. Henderson is gonna be up my ass about it.”
He still looked completely out of the loop, barely awake yet, but nodded, standing up and following you to the car.
“Why’d you bring me here?” He finally spoke up after a couple minutes in silence. It seemed that he was finally becoming fully aware of what was going on.
“I was actually gonna bring you home, but you started crying ‘cause you didn’t want your mom to see you drunk or whatever. So. Next best thing.”
“Thank you.” He paused. “So, uh. you’re friends with Aisha, right? She talks a lot about you-”
You cut him short. “Look, just because I let you stay over and sleep in my bed doesn’t mean we’re friends, alright? You don’t have to be friendly just ‘cause you think you owe me something.”
“Um, I was just trying to be nice-”
“I’m not an asshole, I wasn’t gonna do you like that. I’m very nice, you’re very welcome, whatever.”
“Are you- are you... mad at me?” He looked surprised- no, dumbfounded was a more fitting word to describe it.
You scoffed. In truth, you still had no idea what about him got you so irritated. It’s not like he wasn’t being nice.
Still, you couldn’t help it. “What, can you not believe there’s one person out there who doesn’t worship the ground you walk on?” Okay, so you were exaggerating. So what? Not like it was gonna make much of a difference for him.
“I don’t think anyone worships the ground I walk on.”
"Whatever, Diaz. I’m only doing this ‘cause you’re Aisha’s friend.”
“Okay.”
Silence.
“I’m sorry, by the way.”
“About what?”
“Your girlfriend, or whatever.”
He hesitated. “Yeah, it’s fine. I was an asshole last night. Should’ve expected it. I’ll get over it.”
“Yeah. Oh Hawk’s bringing you a hoodie, by the way. So you don’t smell like alcohol at school.”
“Thank you.”
Nope. “His idea.”
He nodded. “Right.”
It wasn’t long until you pulled up into Aisha’s driveway, making your way out and around the car and opening the passenger's door to find Miguel staring at you, silently asking what you wanted.
"Move. I take shotgun when Aisha drives."
"Does that really-" He didn't bother finishing his sentence, letting out a sigh before unbuckling his seatbelt and getting out.
"Thank you," you said, making sure it didn't actually sound like you were thankful at all, before hopping in. Miguel did the same, getting in the backseat.
You quickly separated as soon as you got to school, with Miguel following Hawk to change into the hoodie he brought him, and you and Aisha getting on your way to Chemistry with Mr. Henderson.
Aisha shot you a weird look. "Why are you acting like this?"
"Like what?"
"You're being a total bitch to him! What happened to the person that took him home last night? Let him stay over?"
"For your information I do have empathy, you know? He was crying!”
"You still could've just taken him home," she shrugged, a smug look on her face. Jerk.
"Hey this is all on you! He left my bed reeking of beer, you owe me a big one."
"He slept in your bed?"
"And I slept on the floor, dumbass! He was passed out drunk!"
"Yeah sorry I don’t think I remember a lot of it. But you slept on the floor? That must've hurt."
"It did. So he should be very thankful."
"I... think he is. You're just not letting him thank you."
"Hey I let him thank me! But that doesn't mean we have to be friends. I'm doing pretty well without him in my life."
"Just admit he's not as bad as you thought and move on!"
"Oh fuck off. What do you want me to do next, marry him or something?"
"Hey you’re the one who’s bringing it up,” she put her hands up in surrender, as if defending herself.
"Shut up. Pay attention, Ms. Robinson!" You mocked her, turning to the projector in front of you.
[. . .]
"Yeah right like Demetri could win a fight against Hawk."
"I think he could! If he got some training." Aisha protested, laughing.”
"Oh come on have you seen the guy? I don't know what your sensei's been feeding him but he's like jacked now."
"Oh so you've been paying attention?" She raised an eyebrow in an exaggeratedly suggestive manner.
"Like I'd want something to do with a guy from Cobra Kai."
"Hey!"
"You're an exception! You are on thin ice though."
"Well I think you should give them a chance."
Of course you could see right through her. "If by them you mean Miguel's included then you can forget it."
"What is it with you and him anyway? What did he ever even do to you?
"Nothing? I don't know, he just makes me mad. You can't be that perfect and not be an asshole."
"Did you just call him perfect?"
"I was being mean about it!"
"You totally d-" She stopped mid-sentence when she noticed you weren't paying attention, your eyes focused on something right behind her. She turned around to face…
Well, speak of the devil.
"What?" You asked him dryly. What could he possibly have to talk to Aisha about right now that required interrupting your lunch?
But he was actually talking to you. "I uh- I think I left my phone at your place? I can't find it anywhere."
You mentally cursed yourself for it, remembering you'd taken it with you the night before. "Shit yeah. I was scared you'd call someone or it would ring and my mom would hear or something. I guess… You can come over to get it after school if you want."
"Yeah. Sure. Thanks." He was about to turn around and walk back to the table he was sitting at with his friends before he stopped. "Do you guys wanna like. Sit with us?"
Aisha looked at you expectantly.
"No, we're good," you replied, and he nodded, making his way back.
"Dude! Let's just go!"
"What I already have to see him after school and now you want me to spend lunch with him? No thank you."
"You're so stupid."
You stuck your middle finger out at her before going back to eating.
[. . .]
You had already told Aisha goodbye, and were about to leave when he came up to you again. “Hey! Y/n! Wait-”
You turned around to face him. He was out of breath, clearly having run all the way up to you. You quirked an eyebrow, demanding him to tell you what he wanted. This was like a 400% increase on your Miguel Diaz interaction scale and you were right about done.
“My phone.”
Oh, right. He was coming over, like, right away. That was great.
“Yeah right. I’m walking home though.”
“Yeah I’ll- I’ll walk with you.”
And what an awkward fucking walk.
“Well here it is,” you handed him the phone, and he took it, stuffing it in his back pocket.
“Alright, thanks.”
“Sure.”
“See you at school?”
Hopefully not. “I guess.”
[. . .]
“Oh I’ll- be right back!” You heard Miguel’s voice behind you as you walked through the hallway alone, on your way to bio, and made sure not to look his way, hoping he wouldn’t see you.
You had no luck with that.
“Y/n!”
You let out a defeated sigh before turning around. He was wearing a deep-red hoodie, which was something you took notice off, for some reason.
“Yes?”
“Hey I know you don’t want anything to do with me-” you nodded, agreeing, and he pursed his lips together before continuing. “-but I think uh- I think I left my socks at your place too?”
He had to be kidding, right? “What?”
“My uh- my socks.”
“You think you left your socks in my room. And you wanna go get them.”
“Well yeah.”
“Can you not survive without one pair of socks?”
“Well-”
“You know what, fine. Whatever. I’m leaving a little late today though so you’ll have to stick around.”
“Yeah sure.”
You wordlessly turned around and walked to class. It seemed that interacting with Miguel was now a daily experience. That was just such fun, huh?
. . .
You found him waiting for you by the bike racks, right by the front steps, as you exited the building. You kind of didn’t actually expect him to wait for you. I mean, he could just ask you to look for the stupid socks and bring them to him the next day. That’s certainly what you would do if you were in his shoes, as to avoid the interaction.
You had to remind yourself, though, that the hate you felt for him isn’t mutual, which only angered you further. Couldn’t he just hate you back? Be a little rude? Maybe then you wouldn’t look like a bitch for being like that towards him.
“You didn’t take that long,” he pointed out.
“Yeah. Turns out they wanna move the project up for one more week or something.”
“That’s cool.” He pulled his bike out of the rack, grabbing the handles and starting to walk with it by his side, and you followed along. You were both quiet for a couple minutes before, of course, he couldn’t help himself from talking. Did he think everyone wanted to hear him talk all the time?
A tiny part of you told you he was just trying to be nice. Okay, fine. Maybe you were being too harsh.
“What’s your deal with me?”
Yeah, no, he can perrish actually. “What do you mean?”
“I mean why do you hate me so much?”
“I don’t hate you.”
“It… definitely looks like it.”
“Well I don’t.” Well...
“Then why do you act like you do?”
“What, are you trying to psychoanalyze me?”
“I just wanna know what I did!”
“You didn’t do anything! You never seem to do anything wrong, do you?”
“What?”
“What, don’t play dumb. I don’t know what it is, okay? You just annoy me. You’re so nice to everyone and everyone just likes you so much and you don’t even have to do anything!”
“You don’t like me… because I’m nice to people. And so they like me.”
“That’s not what I said.”
“It’s how it sounded.”
“Whatever. We’re here,” you pointed out, and you made your way into your place. Not without taking notice of the sky, which was a dark grey color now, a storm forming. “Come on you can leave the bike here, looks like it’s gonna rain.”
“Yeah, I think…”
[. . .]
… So you were stuck at home with him.
This had to be a nightmare.
The clouds were quick to cover the sky right after you got inside, and you could barely see any hint of sunlight despite it still over four in the afternoon. Rain started pouring heavily quickly after, a storm suddenly forming in no time.
And so there you were. In your kitchen. Alone. Stormed in with Miguel Diaz.
This was just fantastic. Great, amazing, wonderful even!
And your annoyance was apparently visible. “Look if you’re so mad about it I can go-”
You stared at him for a couple seconds, unamused. “You wanna bike? In the middle of the storm?”
He just shrugged.
“I don’t hate you that much, you know? You can stay ‘till it’s over.” God, did you hope it would be over soon.
“See you told me you didn’t hate me at all.”
“Okay yeah you can go.”
He laughed. “Fine. I won’t push. Do you wanna do something?”
“I mean I don’t think there’s a lot to do. I guess we could watch something.”
“Yeah! That’s cool!”
“Well what do you-” you were interrupted by the sound of your phone ringing, and you took it out of your pocket, only to see it was your mom calling. Miguel sat back down by the counter as you picked it up.
“Honey are you okay? Are you home yet?”
“Yeah we got here just in time. Are you alright?”
“Yes, but the rain’s really bad here- wait, we? Is Aisha over?”
You took a glance at Miguel. Now how to explain that?
“Uh, actually it’s another friend.”
“Is it? Who?”
“Um his name’s Miguel? We were gonna do a- a physics project. But he rides a bike, so.”
There was a pause. “Right. Are you two gonna be okay?”
“Yeah don’t worry! We’ll just do what we need to do ‘till he can go.”
“Fine. Call me if you need anything! I’ll head home as soon as the storm clears.”
“Right. Love you!”
[. . .]
“Um does she not mind?” You were both sitting on the couch now, about 20 minutes into Thor: Ragnarok, when he said something.
You looked away from the screen. “What?”
“Y- your mom? That I’m here, I mean.”
“Oh she did sound a little- I dunno. But it’s not like she’s gonna make you go out in this weather.”
“Cool. Oh- we didn’t- I didn’t get my socks.”
You laughed at the thought of him thinking about his stupid socks the entire time you’d been watching the film. “Do those socks really matter that much to you? Oh are they too embarrassing? Do they have like little spongebobs on them or something?”
“No, I just-” he seemed to be fighting it, but was now laughing too. “No they don’t have little spongebobs on them. Just remembered it.”
“We can get it after the movie’s done.”
“Right.” He brought his attention back to the TV, but you decided to grab your phone and text Aisha.

You put your phone down looking at Miguel once again. He was really concentrated on whatever was going on in the movie, so you decided it was safe to stare for a little bit. He didn’t look as messy like he did that day at the party. He even-
“That hoodie looks good on you.”
Where the fuck did that come from?
You really hadn’t meant to say it out loud. You couldn’t quite figure out his expression. God, he was gonna make fun of you-
“Thanks,” was all he said in return. He was staring at you now, as if trying to figure you out. You supposed you had to give it to him- you were just as shocked at yourself to blurt that out as he seemed to be. The movie seemed to be long forgotten.
You expected some snarky remark, a cocky grin. But nothing. Was that it? He was probably controlling himself as to not laugh at your face about it, you just knew it.
You couldn’t take the embarrassment. Why did you have to make things weird? You suddenly stood up in a quick motion. “I’m gonna find us something to eat.”
Aisha’s texts must have just gotten to your head, because why else would you even say something like that? You didn’t think he looked in that hoodie. Wait, no, that’s not what you said. You said you thought the hoodie looked good on him. Whatever, you had to focus.
And then he did the worst possible thing he could have done, which was offer to go with you.
Fuck off, fuck off, fuck off! “Sure.” You tried to act normal. There was nothing normal about the weird tension you’d managed to create between the two of you.
It’s safe to say things were awkward. You occupied yourself with opening and looking through every single cabinet in the kitchen, even the ones where you knew there would be no food, trying desperately to find excuses to delay looking at him.
“Um are you okay?”
“Yes.” You were not. “Why?”
“You’ve been looking for something for a while. I’m not that hungry you know, you don’t have to.”
“Well I am.” You grabbed the first thing you could find, which was a chocolate bar, thankfully. At least one good thing to come out of this never-ending disastrous afternoon. “Found it.” You held it up for him to see, but made sure to avoid eye contact before making your way to the living room.
You both sat down to resume watching the movie, but there was still this weird energy around the room, one which, again, you’d gracefully created on your own, and you felt antsy. “Do you wanna go get your socks?”
“Uh, okay?”
You nodded back, turning around and making your way towards your room, knowing he’d follow you. You quickly sat down on your bed and waited for him to walk through the door.
“Hey.”
“Um I didn’t see any socks anywhere so. Feel free to look around.” You finally worked up the guts to look at him for a split second. He nodded.
[. . .]
An hour had gone by since, and the storm didn’t look like it was getting any better. You’d even passed the point of being embarrassed about what you’d said earlier- okay, maybe not completely, but still- and were just staring at the ceiling, laying on your bed, waiting for the time to pass. Miguel was sitting right beside you, and you didn’t remember the last time one of you had said a word until he broke the silence again. God this kid loves to talk doesn’t he?
“You don’t actually hate me, right?”
“Are we still on about that?”
“There’s not really anything to talk about. I don’t know anything about you.”
“My name’s Y/N Y/L/N. I go to West Valley High. I'm stuck inside my house right now."
“Wow now I know everything there is to know, thank you,” he returned with sarcasm.
“What do you wanna know?” It had to be the peak of boredom, engaging in small talk with Miguel Diaz of all people. What was this, 21 questions?
“Well what kind of music do you like?”
“Little bit of everything I guess. Rock, pop, whatever.”
“You like 80’s rock?”
“Yeah.”
“Cool. My sensei showed it to me and it’s been my favorite.”
You didn’t mean to laugh.
“What?”
“Just weird. Sensei.”
“Well that’s the word.”
“Yeah I know.”
“Have you ever thought about it?”
“Thought about what?”
“Joining Cobra Kai.”
This time you made sure to laugh loudly. “Yeah. Would be a dream come true.”
“What’s so wrong with Cobra Kai?”
“Don’t get me wrong, Diaz, Cobra Kai has helped Aisha a lot. But honestly it just seems like it recruits nerds and turns them into self-conceited jerks.”
“Um would I be one of those self-conceited jerks?”
“Sure.”
“Have I done anything to you? I don’t-”
“You haven’t. But just- everyone keeps praising you for everything. And you didn’t let it get to your head? I don’t buy it.”
“People don’t praise me for everything. I've gotten beaten up a fair amount."
“Whatever.”
“Well what’s your favorite color?”
“Are you seriously asking me that?”
“It’s a valid question.”
“What’s yours?”
“Orange.”
“That’s lame.”
“What's yours then?”
“Y/F/C.”
“That’s lamer.”
“Very funny.” You mocked him, but realized you were actually smiling.
He opened a smile of his own. “See? I’m not that bad.”
“You’re bearable.”
“That’s progress.” There was a pause. “Well you should come to practice some day.”
“Why would I do that?”
“To see that you’re wrong! We’re like family. I’ve never had anything like that before Cobra Kai.”
“Yeah I don’t think that’ll happen. But I’ll keep it in mind.”
[. . .]
“Yes mom I know. Yes he’s still here. Of course I’m not gonna let him go out in this weather. No, are you sure? But where will you- fine. But please talk to me. Right, love you.”
“So?”
“She's gonna have to stay there until things get better.”
“What? Is it still that bad?”
“Apparently. There were like a bunch of car accidents around the buildings.”
“Shit.”
“Yeah.”
[. . .]
“This is so fucking boring.”
“Do you have any games on your phone or something?”
“You sound like a little kid.”
“Shut up.” He totally did.
“What is it?’
“What?”
“Stop staring at me.”
“I’m not staring at you.”
“You were! Weirdo.”
There was a pause. “Did you mean it?”
“What?”
“That you think my hoodie looks good on me.”
“No?" You tried.
“Then why why’d you say it?”
“Can we not talk about that?”
“You know if you actually gave me a chance I think we could be good friends.”
“Yeah in your dreams, Diaz. I’d probably kill you.”
He actually had the nerve to laugh at you. “Yeah I don’t think you could.”
“I think I could!” You tried defending yourself, but you knew it was complete bullshit. I mean, have you seen his arms?
Not that you’d been looking!
Obviously not.
“Did you forget I literally do karate almost every single day?”
You shrugged in fake disdain. “Still think I could take you.”
He let out an incredulous laugh. “Okay.” He stood up, holding his hand out to you. You shot him a confused look. “What, prove it then!”
“No I’m not doing that.”
“So you’re admitting you can’t take me.”
You knew you couldn’t, but you also doubted he’d go too hard on you. Plus this was a matter of pride now, you couldn’t just let him have that. He knew exactly how to push your buttons to get you to do this. You immediately took his hand, standing up as well. “I said I could.”
“Alright. Come on," he challenged you, getting in a fighting stance, and you tried your best to mimic him, holding your hands in fists in front of your body. He laughed at that, reaching to change the position of your hands. “Okay this,” he said as he moved them just a little bit, “could break your thumbs.”
“Fine. That good enough, sensei?” You mocked, and the boy made a funny expression at that, but quickly snapped out of it.
“Okay, so I’m gonna try to sweep your leg, like this,” he pretended to do the motion, “and what you’re gonna do is block my leg with your right arm, like this,” he did the same with the new movement.
“This isn’t a karate lesson, just fight me!”
“Alright, whatever you say. You ready?”
You were not. “Yup.”
Okay, terrible idea.
In no time he’d done as he said, and your back was immediately pressed to the floor, with no time to even process it happening.
Still, you weren’t gonna just not get a little fun out of it. “You got lucky."
He dared to laugh at you again, before sticking out his hand for you to take. You couldn’t contain a grin as you pulled him to the floor beside you, laughing at his surprise when you were successful.
“Oh I see how it is!” He exclaimed, laughing. You were already starting to stand up, but he tackled you to the floor again, hovering over you.
“Jerk!” You punched him on the chest, playfully, but you were both laughing, despite both being extremely out of breath. You tried to catch him by surprise again, and went to flip your positions, but he was quicker, pinning you to the floor by both your wrists. It was no use then, when he was clearly stronger than you.
But then something really, really weird happened. After your laughter calmed down, it was impossible not to take notice of how the two of you looked right now.
It’s like you had to think about it a second time for the situation to actually click: he was on top of you, having you quite literally pinned under him by your wrists, practically straddling you at that point, with his knees on the floor on either side of your hips.
You looked up at him, and he was staring at your face. Intently so.
For some reason you couldn’t get yourself to look away. It lasted a ridiculously long time, the eye contact, or at least that’s what it felt like, and you were still out of breath from the play fighting, your brain trying to catch on to the situation you were in.
You could swear you saw him glance down at your lips, fueling the tension that was already inherently thick in the air between you. You immediately tried to rid yourself of the thought, as it was probably ridiculous- but then he did the last thing you’d expect him to do.
He actually leaned in.
And you did something even weirder than that: you actually let him do it.
In a second his lips were on yours, and he almost lost his balance as you got your wrists free of his grip, instinctively reaching for the back of his head, intertwining your fingers to his hair.
The adrenaline of it all was thrilling, and it was like your brain had stopped stopped working altogether. After all if you had been functioning normally you would not find yourself in this situation.
No matter. At that moment all you were really worried about was kissing him. You kissed him back, and then you did it again, and again, and again, until you had to pull away to breathe, your chest heaving up and down, as did his, and your breaths being the only sound heard around the entire house, much louder than the now muffled sound of the rain and thunder outside.
And then you made eye contact again and it seemed as what just happened downed on you, all at once.
You had just kissed Miguel Diaz.
No, much worse: you had just made out with Miguel Diaz. On your bedroom floor.
Ooooooooh, no.
Your eyes went wide and you were quick to push him away, standing up.
“Are you-”
You cut him off immediately. “I’ll be right back."
“But-”
“I’ll be right back!” You repeated yourself. “You can go uh- looking for your socks or whatever if you want.”
“Are you serious-” you made your way out of the bedroom, straight into the first room you took sight off- the bathroom. You made sure to lock the door before you sat on the floor, back pressed to the wall.
Okay, so that just happened. You just kissed Miguel Diaz. No, actually, you just kissed Miguel Diaz back. He kissed you. But then again you kissed back. But he kissed you first, which means he was attracted to you? Did that mean you were attracted to him? No, you- okay, maybe.
Shit, shit, shit.
You pulled out your phone, scrambling to find Aisha’s contact. You hesitated before sending anything, knowing she'd tease you about this until the end of time , but Miguel was right outside and you had no idea how to face him after this. Holding your breath, you pressed send.

aisha
and you kissed back!!!!
y/n
that doesn’t mean anything!!!!
aisha
yes it does???????
“Y/n?”
Fuck. He was right outside the bathroom door.
“Are you alright?”
“Yes.”
“Are you sure?”
“Yes I’m great Diaz. Go look for your socks.”
“Yeah um- I found them.”
“Cool.”
“Hey it’s okay if you don’t wanna talk about it, I shouldn’t have-”
“Yeah, you shouldn't have.”
“I mean you… kind of did kiss back.”
Silence. What could you reply to that?
“Can we not? Talk about it.”
“Uh. Fine?"
“Okay. I’m coming out then. And we can finish the movie.”
“Sure. The sky’s clearing up too so.”
“Okay.”
You unlocked the door, inhaling deeply before opening it.
[. . .]
“Why did I let you do this? This is weird!” You whispered to Aisha, making sure the others didn't hear you. You'd let her convince you to sit with her friends from Cobra Kai during lunch, claiming it was the best way for you to seem ‘chill’ about what had happened. You were immediately regretting it.
You’d agreed not to talk about what happened at your place the night before, but things were still pretty awkward with Miguel, and it was really, really visible. Hawk had been stealing small glances at you, then immediately averting his eyes to Miguel, and so you were sure Miguel had told him all about it. Sure, you'd told Aisha too, but whatever.
He was probably bragging about it or something, in typical fuckboy fashion. Or something.
“It’s literally fine! You’re seeing things.”
“I’m not seeing things! It’s literally so awkward!”
“You can't avoid him forever!”
“I don't have to sit with him at lunch either!”
[. . .]
You’d almost considered yourself lucky for not having had to see Miguel in any other instance during the rest of the day, even congratulating yourself on managing to avoid him when he, of course, approached you at the exit.
“Y/n!”
You stopped, sighing in defeat. “Yes?”
“Are we cool?”
“Sorry?”
“I mean it seems like you’re acting weird, I don't know.”
“Does it really matter to you? We're not friends, so.”
“Okay. But we- was it that bad?”
“What?”
“That I kissed you, are you that mad about it?”
Your eyes widened and you looked around, trying to see if anyone around you heard him. “I told you I didn’t wanna talk about that!”
“Well let’s just solve it so we don’t have to! I thought you wanted it too. I mean it- it seemed like you did at the moment but now I don’t know and I’m really sorry if-“
“Look I don’t know what happened okay? You don’t have to feel bad about it or anything, you didn’t read it wrong. But it was a one time thing. It I’m trying to be more friendly with you guys because of Aisha, but there’s nothing more to it. It was just a heat of the moment thing.” You turned around, already starting to walk before he had the chance to talk more.
Of course he still yelled after you. “You should go see us today!”
Okay, big change of subject. “What?”
“At the dojo. We have practice at five.”
You were the one to not get the time to say anything back this time, him hopping on his bike and getting on his way.
Well, should you?
[. . .]
“This is stupid.”
“You’re just watching!” Aisha said, trying to cheer you up. “I can’t believe I couldn’t get you to come see me but Miguel could.”
“That’s not what’s going on.”
“Right.”
“It’s not! Did I not sit with your friends at lunch today? I’m making an effort. For you.”
“And only for me.” She didn't sound like she believed it at all.
“Only for you.”
She let out a laugh, and you elbowed her arm. You got to the place, entering the door, which made a bell sound out. You couldn't help but notice the ridiculous amount of snake drawings, which was apparently the dojo’s logo, that were scattered on the walls. Despite that, the place looked decent.
You caught sight of writing on one of the walls.
“That like your mantra?”
Strike first. Strike Hard. No mercy. Very inviting.
“Something like that.”
“Not violent at all,” you pointed out.
“What's the point of karate if it’s not violent?”
“Isn't that LaRusso's whole thing? Non- violent karate?”
“Well he’s stupid, so that fits.”
“Okay, well I’m gonna-”
“QUIET!” A man you hadn’t seen walk in shouted, startling you and all the students.
“Ms. Robinson, who are we missing?”
Aisha looked around. “Hawk and Miguel, sensei.”
“Okay. They have three minutes.” He seemed to finally take notice of you. “New student?”
“Y/N’s my friend, sensei-” did they have to refer to him as sensei in every single sentence?
“Yeah I'm just here to watch-”
“What are you, a pussy?”
“Sensei!”
“I’m sorry?” You asked, dumbfounded. Okay, what was happening?
“Don’t think you can handle one class?”
“I don’t-”
“If you’re staying in my dojo, you’re participating.”
You looked at Aisha. “I mean it can’t hurt,” was all she said, shrugging her shoulders.
“Are you kidding me-” At that very moment you heard the bell again, turning around to see who it was. Of course the timing was immaculate. Hawk and Miguel entered the dojo, taking their shoes off and stepping into the mat. You turned back around to face Aisha. “Do I have to take my shoes off?”
“Yeah.”
You did it quickly, before getting back to your place. Were you really about to do this? And what for? Because you couldn’t say no to a scary old man?
Because you couldn’t say no to…
Nevermind.
“Alright quiet! Fighting positions!”
Everything was happening way too fast, and you tried to keep up, trying to remember the stance Miguel had helped you with the night before. Sensei walked through the rows of kids, all dressed in those weird clothes except for you, which naturally drove his attention to you, to which he laughed. “Yeah do that and you'll leave a fight with two broken thumbs.” Right.
Just to prove your luck, Sensei Lawrence had a fantastic idea. “Diaz, you’re in charge of teaching her the first moves. I’m teaching these nerds here how to headbutt. Again.”
“Yes, sensei!”
You were accepting it, the Universe had to be having the time of its infinite life at your expense. Miguel walked up to you, sporting a smirk. “You came.”
“Because Aisha asked me to.”
“Right. Of course.” You both walked off to the side of the mat, as to not disturb the rest of the class. “Alright, fighting stance.”
You made sure to make a face before you did as he said, remembering to leave your thumbs out of your fists this time. You were not giving him the satisfaction of correcting you about that again.
“Okay, that’s good. But you gotta-” he pushed your feet further behind with his own. “Okay. Now the most simple punches you’re gonna do are the jab and the cross. You’re gonna do the jab like this-” he showed it, punching the air with his left hand, “and the cross is gonna go like this,” he did the same, with his right hand this time. “But you’re gonna punch this,” he motioned to the punching bag in front of you.
“Oh, I kinda hoped I'd get to punch you!”
He smiled. “You’ll have plenty of time for that.” He positioned himself behind the punching bag, holding it in place.
"Do I have to do the weird grunt noises too?" You messed with him.
“Just go.”
You tried you best, not really having any idea what to do.
“Okay stop.”
“What?”
He came up beside you. “Okay pay attention.” He did the movements, slowly this time. “You’re letting your hand punch down. It’s supposed to stay just in your eyesight.”
“So like this?” You tried it.
“Yeah but don’t bend your elbow. You could sprain it that way.”
“What? I don’t-”
“And you really thought you could take me?”
“Shut up. I could report you to your sensei, you know.”
“I’m the sensei right now.”
“In your dreams.”
“Come on, you can do it.” He took you by surprise as he placed a hand on your waist, pressuring it down so your legs would stay steady, and grabbed your right hand with the other one. You tried not to think too hard about it. It was a little hard focusing on what he wanted to teach you when you knew what it was like to- no. No wandering there.
He curled your fingers into a fist. “Okay so your hand will already be in a fist, right here, and then what you’re gonna do is hold it out in a straight line, you can’t let it fall down-”
[. . .]
“You can admit it, you know?”
“Admit what?”
“You liked it.”
“What?”
“Karate.” Oh. Right. Karate.
“I would never.”
“You totally did!”
“Okay. Fine. A little. But I think it definitely would have been better if I had a better teacher.”
“A better sensei, you mean,” he pressed you about it, earning an eye-roll from you.
“Whatever.”
“Are you gonna keep doing it?”
“What?”
“Are you like enrolling?”
“I don’t know. I’ll think about it.”
“Cool.”
“Why, do you wanna see me that bad?”
He let out a laugh. “Yeah, whatever you say."
[. . .]
A couple weeks had gone by, and you had agreed to go to the movies with Aisha and her friends- well, you guessed now they were your friends too. The two of you were the first to get there, and were standing in line to get popcorn when Hawk and Miguel walked up to you. “I didn’t know you were coming,” Miguel pointed out.
“Do you not have other friends you can talk to?”
“You act like you were forced to be here.”
“I could have been!”
“I don’t think you were.”
You didn’t have a snarky reply to that.
“So sensei was talking to me about putting you in for tomorrow.”
“Tomorrow?”
“Yeah cause you missed on tuesday?”
“Oh right! Stupid project.”
“Yeah. Well apparently he has stuff to do so he asked if I could help you out.”
You laughed in an exaggerated manner. “Oh there’s no way.”
“It was sensei’s idea!” Miguel defended himself.
“And it’s a bad one! No way.”
Aisha turned to you, handing you a huge popcorn for you to hold. She then handed Miguel two cups, and all of you went on your way.
“Look the dojo’s empty at three. You should be there then.” He walked past you and sat down next to Hawk.
[. . .]
“You showed up!”
“Yeah whatever.” You put your backpack down on the floor and took your shoes off, walking into the mat.
“You’re not wearing your gi,” he pointed out just to mess with you.
“You’re not wearing yours.”
“But I’m the sensei today.”
“Yeah you don’t look very sensei-like to me.”
“What would look sensei-like to you?” He got himself in fighting position as he talked, and you made sure to do the same.
“I don’t know. A little buffer, less of a pussy,” you teased him.
“Hey watch your words! We’re serious people in this dojo!” He laughed. “Alright left front kick, right round kick, jab, cross and hook, all of them three times. You ready?”
You tried to make sure you remembered the order correctly. “Is the hook before of after the cross?”
“After.”
“Right, so left front kick, right round kick, jab, cross, hook.”
“Yeah. Now go.” You did it. “Okay good! Is someone… enjoying karate?”
“Shut up.”
He smiled. “Alright I’m gonna block you this time.”
You repeated the sequence. Left front kick, right round kick, jab, cross, hook. Left front kick, right round kick, jab, cross, hook.
Left front kick, right round kick, jab, mat.
Mat?
“That’s not fair you were just gonna block!” You exclaimed after processing the fact that he’d just tackled you to the floor.
“You forgot to keep your guard up.”
“Whatever.” You began standing up.
“What, can’t take it?”
“Is little Miguel Diaz being mean to someone?”
“I’m just pointing out your weaknesses so you can work on them.”
“Because you’re just perfect, aren't you?”
“Do me then.”
“I’m sorry?”
“I-” he closed his eyes shut and pursed his lips together at the poor choice of words. “Do the same thing to me.”
“I don’t know, I’m starting to think you’re like into pain or something.”
“Yeah whatever you say. Come on.”
He did the sequence this time, and you blocked the movements, waiting for the chance to catch him by surprise. You did it while he was going for it the second time around, grabbing him by the wrist and attempting to pull it down, but he was quicker.
Best fighter in the Valley, after all.
In no time you were on the ground again. Fucker.
“I told you! It’s good practice though.” He was laughing at you, and held out his hand for you to take when he noticed you weren’t standing up.
You grinned. “Do you never learn?” You did the same as you'd done that one day at your house, pulling him to the floor next to you.
“Okay that was rude!”
“You practically asked for it!” You laughed like crazy as you stood up. “I can’t believe you fell for that twice!”
“Okay, fine.” He held his hand up again. “You not gonna help me?”
“Nope. I, for one, am not dumb.”
He got up. “Oh you’re gonna regret that.”
[. . .]
"Hey are you- are you doing something right now?" Miguel questioned you as he finshed turning the lights off.
"Not really. Why?"
"Do you... want to?"
"Like right now?"
"I mean I think we could both use a shower first but- later?"
"Why?"
"I'm just bored. You don't have to."
You pondered it. Aisha did have to bail on you to go to dinner with her dad. "Fine."
"What- okay."
You laughed as he finished locking the door of the dojo. "What?"
"Didn’t think you’d say yes."
"I can still change my mind."
"Yeah right. You like hanging out with me!"
"Hey don’t get too confident, I just don’t have anything else to do."
"And I don't believe you. Golf ‘n’ Stuf. In like an hour?"
"I don’t know. I might not show up," you teased.
"Yeah I'll see you there!" He yelled, content, already ahead of you on his bike.
[. . .]
“I knew it.”
You turned around where you stood, only to see Miguel behind you, a grin on his face. “You’re annoying. I’ve told you that before, right?”
“Yeah. Many times.”
“Just checking.”
“So?” Miguel held up his arm for you to lace your own with. As if. You scoffed, walking past him, leaving him to jog after you into the park.
“Okay what first?”
“Oh you’re letting me pick?” He asked you. Okay, you had to give it to him, he wasn’t as insufferable when he matched your sarcastic attitude a little bit. Or maybe he was more insufferable and you just liked to see him not be as nice.
“Yes I’m very polite.”
“Well then we’re doing mini golf.”
“Are you forty-five?”
“This place literally has golf in the name, what did you expect?” He grabbed you by the wrist and pulled you along.
[. . .]
“Okay I don’t think I’ve ever seen as many tickets in my entire life,” Miguel exclaimed, holding up what looked like at least 80 tickets, all bunched up. You studied the excitement on his face. Fine, so maybe you had a little fun. Just a little. And maybe you thought he looked stupidly cute right now.
Maybe.
You walked up to the counter. He looked at your prize options. “So what do you want? We can get like 53 rings or like 72 plastic… babies? Why would anyone want 72 plastic babies?”
You let out a laugh. “I don’t know, I-” you saw it by the corner, almost hidden. It was perfect. “Ohmygod definitely that guy!” You pointed at it, and the woman behind the counter handed it to Miguel.
He held up the plush bumblebee. “He’s cute! What should we name him?”
“Um… Phillip?”
“What no! That’s so not a bee name.”
“What the hell would a bee name be?”
“Zoe?”
“Okay first off that’s so cliche. Second off, he’s a boy!”
“How would you know that?” You’d been walking for a while, and finally got outside, sitting down on a bench.
“I decided it!”
“Okay. What can we name him then?”
“Oh my God, Lucas!”
“Okay, I think I can accept Lucas.”
“You don’t have a say on my son’s name!”
“Hey he’s our son!”
“I don’t know, we’d have to take a DNA test.”
“Shit have you been cheating on me?”
“Yeah I’m sorry…” you tried to match his playfulness.
There was silence for a moment.
“You know this was actually pretty fun.”
“Yeah I was surprised.” You were teasing, but it wasn’t a lie, either.
“So you liked it? Who knew.”
“Oh shut it. It was okay.”
“You totally did!”
“Okay, whatever. Now we need to discuss Lucas’ custody situation. I’m getting dibs on weekends!” You tried to joke, but Miguel’s mind seemed to be wandering off. “Miguel? Hello?” You waved your hand in front of his face.
“Sorry.”
“You okay?”
“Yeah. I just- can I tell you something?”
“Okay.”
“I have a theory. You can say I’m wrong. But you can’t get mad at me about it.”
“Okay I’m getting worried.”
“Promise?”
“Sure.”
“Well I’ve thought about it, and I might be being a little hopeful. But I’m pretty sure you might have a crush on me.”
You laughed in disbelief. Did he really just say that to you? “I’m sorry?”
“It’s just a theory! I want you to! I’m- am I wrong?”
You didn’t reply. Because you didn’t know the answer. Did you- wait. “You want me to?”
“I- mean I don’t want you to feel pressured or anything, but. It would be nice. And I know you still don’t like to talk about that one time we kissed and all but things have been pretty confusing.”
“Because you have a thing for me.”
“Okay, I get it, it's fine if you don’t-”
Maybe it was not exactly the brightest idea to do something so important so suddenly, without sparing a thought before you did. But, when you knew it, your lips were on his.
It was calmer, softer than the first time you’d done it. Miguel was the one to pull away, smiling into the kiss. He stared at you, and you were nervous. You wanted to tell yourself you didn’t know where that came from, like you’d told yourself had happened that day at your place before attempting to bottle it up. But you knew.
You didn’t realize it, but in those weeks you hung out, you got to actually know him. And at some point you must have started liking him. A few weeks was definitely enough to change your perspective on some things.
You assumed he felt the same, considering the things he said.
… but maybe you read him wrong?
“What?” You asked, insecure, when he didn’t say anything.
He grinned. “You totally have a crush on me!”
You let out a breath in relief.
Okay, yeah, maybe Miguel Diaz wasn’t that bad after all. And maybe you could get yourself used to the thought of going out with him.
Maybe.
