Eli

I started stretching my arms and doing some hip circles. I was getting ready to spar with Miguel, "Okay Hawk get in the circle." Sensei LaRusso instructed me. I nodded and stepped to where I was facing Miguel. We both bowed at Sensei Lawerence and then at each other.

"Fight," Sensei Lawerence yelled. Miguel threw a punch and I ducked quickly trying to stay focused on the task at hand.
I went for a kick and Miguel sweep kicked me. I groaned as I landed with a thud on the ground.

"Hey it's okay man," Miguel walked over holding his hand out for me.

"I know," I sighed and took as he pulled me up. I dusted off my joggers and went back to my spot in the circle.

I walked down the hall to Demetri's bedroom and opened up the door.

"Oh hey, didn't know you'd be back already," he smiled looking up from where he was holding the open book.

"Yeah," I nodded and unzipped my backpack. I took out my clothes and took my shirt off.

"Woah there," he giggled shutting the book.

"Why can't handle the heat, Demetri?" I teased as I slid on my clean shirt and changed into shorts quickly.

"No I can," he lifted his left hand, "I Uh can pretty much move this hand on my own now."

"Aw! I'm so proud of you," I smiled and hugged him tight rubbing his back lightly.

"Eli sit, sit" He sighed smiling up at me.

"Yeah give me a moment," I dug through my backpack and pulled out the comic books I had picked up for him, "I got you something."

"Did you?" he giggled waiting for me to get it out.

"It's nothing big but I went down to your favorite shop today." I smiled and handed him the two comics.

"Oh my god! Thank you, Eli," he giggled as he took them.

"Of course," I hugged him and giggled. He pulled away and we had a moment. His hands dropped into mine and I squeezed them gently. I made eye contact with him and smiled. He started to smile but faltered and directed his eyes towards our hands.

"Eli," he sighed.

"Yeah? What's up?" I bit my lip.

"I just, are you just being nice to me or like," he stumbled over his words and sighed, "Do you still have feelings for me? Or is it because I'm just hurt and you feel bad."

"Oh uh...Demetri," I frowned and looked at him but quickly looked down to his floor.

"Eli please just," he sniffed and scrunched his eyes. A tear started to roll down his face.

"I know how I feel for you I just don't want you to think I'm just being sympathetic," I explained my eyes darting around his room. I squeezed his hands and sighed.

"Eli I'm in love with you..." he mumbled.
