Lover -ElixDemtri-

Demetri

Eli and I sat on a couch at Sam's while we watched a movie together. I was leaning against the arm of the couch and my legs were on Eli's lap.
He had ahold of my hand and messing with my fingers. Maybe he thought if he messed with them enough I'd be able to use them again. All I knew I was a long way away from being fully functional on my own.
I leaned my head back slightly and hummed. Eli glanced at me and smiled.

Eli was cuddled into me, my arm around his waist as he gently chewed on the tip of his thumb.
Eli could be such a softie, I pulled him closer to me.
"Are you feeling better?" I asked whispering. He nodded and yawned.
I guess that meant he was spending the night.

"M can barely keep my eyes open!" He protested turning to look at me.

"Well, you did do a lot of dancing at the Halloween dance." I giggled tucking some hair behind his ear.

"True," he yawned again and stretched out before curling in back in on himself.

"Go to bed hun," I smiled rubbing his upper back gently. He liked to do boyfriend activities with me. If that meant cuddling, we never kissed. If we did it was only ever on the cheek.
Because best friends kissed each other goodnight right?

"Okay, fine," he rolled over with a pout on his face. I giggled snd ran my thumb over his scar and his lips.
I kissed his cheek, "night Eli," I yawned.

"Can we cuddle?" He asked and nuzzled his head into the pillow.

"Yeah of course," I smiled and let him pick the position. We always cuddled at sleepovers, he put his legs in between mine and draped his arm on my side.

"Night Demetri," He placed a kiss on my cheek. His eyes closed almost instantly.

"Demetri," Eli pulled me from my thoughts.

"Yeah?" I looked up at him.

"Are you ready to go home?" He asked intertwining our fingers.

"Yeah, can I spend the night at yours though?" The last thing I wanted to do was go home. I was so sick of being there.

"Of course," he smiled as he picked me up.

"Bye guys," Miguel waved as Sam was still asleep in his arms.

"Bye thanks for inviting us," Eli smiled as we walked to his car.

We were both laying on Eli's bed quietly. I could hear his soft breathing.
"Hey," I whispered looking up at the ceiling.

"Yeah Dem?" Eli responded.

"So are things still similar to how they used to be before Cobra Kai?" I asked.

"I mean like? What do you mean?" He rolled over to face me and took my hand in his.

"As you know, we used to do boyfriend activities. That's what you called them right?" I asked turning to look at him.
I watched as his smile faltered and his eyes went soft and looked down.

"I- uh yeah?" He stumbled over his words not wanting to make eye contact with me. He always struggled with that because of his anxiety.

"Are you okay if we do that again?" I asked and shakily held his hand with my other one.

"I Uh I mean yeah? If you are?" He nodded repositioning so he was holding both my hands.

"Okay," I nodded and gently pressed a kiss to his forehead. I watched a smile spread across his face.

"Okay, goodnight Demetri," he closed his eyes.

"Night E," I smiled and closed my eyes.
