Prompt: Nice

Friendships: Miguel & Eli, Miguel & Demetri, Miguel & Demetri & Sam & Robby

This is a 6-parter--600 words total! Shockingly no prominent ships in this one (aside from some implied Samiguel).

Hey, y'all remember when Miguel admitted to Hawk that he'd cheated on Tory and Hawk immediately answered with "NICE!!!"??? Because I sure do -_____-

Anyways back in S2 Miguel was so CLEARLY not a fan of Hawk's increasingly douchey behavior, but I always got the feeling he swept a lot of it under the rug for the sake of their friendship. But had Tory not started the school fight, I got the impression things were leading up to a confrontation between them where Miguel really chews him out about being a dick to Demetri and being like. Gross and sexist in general. So these are some things I wrote for a "No School Fight" AU where that's exactly what happens!

***

“What’s your problem? Are you really that upset you kissed Sa—”

“What’s your problem?” Miguel is finally awake enough for his temper to flare up. “You congratulated me for cheating on my girlfriend! What’s wrong with you?!”

Hawk scoffs. “You land all the bitches now. You should be proud.”

“I don’t want to ‘land all the bitches.’” Miguel groans, face in his hands. “You know shit like that is the reason Miyagi-Do thinks we’re all douchebags, right?”

“Good! They should be scared of us!”

“Oh, get over yourself, Hawk. The only one taking this karate war seriously is you.”

***

“We can’t sit there!”

Hawk grabs Miguel as he starts toward where Demetri’s eating alone.

Miguel frowns. “Why?”

Hawk’s nostrils flare, like he’s considering a rant.

“Demetri joined the enemy!” is all that comes out.

Miguel rolls his eyes. “You need to stop buying into Sensei Kreese’s every word. You don’t want to get yanked around by him like Sensei Lawrence did.”

“Just because you’ve gone soft—”

“This is ridiculous.” Miguel’s had enough. “You can come or not, but I’m going to sit with our friend.”

“He’s not my—”

Miguel’s halfway across the cafeteria before Hawk can finish.

***

“Hey.”

Demetri starts when Miguel puts his lunch tray down. He turns, worry morphing into pleasant surprise.

“Not with the Cobras?”

“You’re my friend, too.”

Demetri’s expression softens.

“Thanks for returning the medal. Sam told me.”

“No problem. Sorry Hawk’s been an asshole.”

“Is he...”

Demetri glances across the cafeteria.

“Not coming. Too busy sulking about me sitting with a Miyagi-Do.”

“Okay, well, there’s something you should know—”

That’s when Sam and Robby show up. Miguel realizes he’s made a terrible mistake.

“What’s he doing here?” Robby demands.

“Miguel isn’t like the others!” Demetri raises his hands. “He’s nice!”

***

With Sam and Demetri chatting away, off in their own world, Miguel wonders if Hawk’s megadouche rants would be preferable to Robby Keene’s stony silence.

“So.” Miguel can’t stand this any longer. “Do you have Mr. Henderson for Algebra II?”

“Yeah. Seems like a hardass.”

“Had him 3rd period. Dickwad already gave us homework.”

“Hoping I can transfer to precalc.” Robby chuckles awkwardly. “Demetri tutored me a bit this summer. I got an 85% on the pre-exam.”

Miguel’s admittedly impressed. “Nice.”

Strange. After the summer’s drama, this kind of mundanity’s almost comforting.

Still, Miguel wishes his hand was in Sam’s.

***

Miguel hardly expects an SOS text from Robby Keene, but he doesn’t refuse. When he hears Sam and Demetri are in trouble, he comes running.

The Miyagi-Dos were jumped after school—Tory, Hawk, the rest of Cobra Kai. Miguel’s too late to stop the worst of Tory’s attack, but he turns the tide.

Kreese is pissed at him for opposing his teammates. Sensei’s pissed because Kreese is. Miguel will live.

He dumps Tory. He’s always given her the benefit of the doubt, but...

Seeing her looming over Sam, murder in her eyes, Miguel wonders if he was being too nice.

***

“You’ve got nerve, throwing your lot in with them.”

Miguel sighs, more tired than angry. “You’re lucky the Miyagi-Dos didn’t press charges. Sam and Robby wanted to, but Demetri begged them not to. Said you ‘weren’t yourself.’”

Hawk sneers. “And what are you, Demetri’s bitch?”

“He’s worried about you, Hawk. I am, too. You’re being an asshole, and I know that’s not you—”

“Fuck you. Maybe your bleeding-hearted ass is too nice, huh?”

Hawk shoves his way into a crowd, disappearing.

Got our work cut out for us, Miguel texts Demetri.

Keep trying, Demetri immediately responds. He’ll come around.

Sam witnessed of the both of these injures and abuse and cared.

I also always thought that that scene could be interpreted as robby contemplating suicide. He probably went to tell his mom goodbye, whether his intentions were running away or something worse, and i do think they intended this to be ambiguous to allow audience speculation of something really dark. I think overall the show tonally shifted a lot in season 3. Not just with robby, but every character. Sam and her ptsd, tory and her landlord trying to sexually exploit her, johnny and his self hatred, hawk and the extreme escalation of his brutality and violence, and everything involving kreese, especially the last scene with him, johnny, robby and daniel. Of course it was still absurd and comedic like the previous seasons, and i actually think the contrast of miguels arc being relatively lighthearted comparatively was really odd considering, and maybe the reason it wasnt a very popular season. And for various reasons i think they decided eventually that wasnt the direction they wanted to take the show, which is why season 4, and subsequently 5, felt unsatisfying to a lot of people.

Personally I love the later seasons of the show, obviously not everything but most of it. However I do agree that the tone of the show gets a lot darker in season three and onward, even with the show being comedic there’s a lot of psychological stuff just under the surface.

Like a lot of surprisingly dark stuff with Tory and her landlord but also with how Kreese inserts himself into the situation in a way that makes it feel like she either owes him a debt or is dependent on him which is incredibly messed up. Same with Robby and Silver towards the end of season four, with him giving Shannon huge amounts of cash and paying for Robby’s prom stuff (even though he doesn’t pay for Tory) and letting them borrow the car- when you stop to think about it it’s incredibly creepy.

And of course there’s all kinds of other dark hints throughout the series about Robby and Tory as well as the other kids like Eli and how they’re being manipulated so forcefully by adults they should be able to trust. It definitely makes for an interesting show though because you can watch it as a more casual viewer just for a laugh or you can really watch it and pay attention which gives it a lot of appeal to different audiences that is hard to create.
