requested: "i was thinking that the reader had feelings for demetri, but of course didn't tell him; because they were best friends. and when karate comes into play they join cobra kai... and then demetri makes them choose between him and cobra kai (like at the end of s2 during the school fight or so) and they have a huge discussion leaving both heartbroken...?"

"i can't believe bad breath benny got asked to dance and we didn't." demetri sighed as he placed his chin on his hands and his elbows on his knees.
y/n, who sat next to him, let out a soft giggle along with eli, who sat on the other side of him. the three best friends had decided on coming to the dance after y/n's constant begging.
a few seconds later a short girl with blonde hair walked over, "h-hey, eli, do you wanna dance?" she asked innocently, eli nodded before standing up and walking towards the dance floor with her.
demetri let out another huff of air, "i told you we shouldn't have come to this stupid eight grade dance. i'm surprised eli got asked to dance." he pouted, looking at y/n.
y/n rolled her eyes, standing up. she extended her hand out for demetri to take. he slowly looked up at her, "what?"
"stop complaining, i'll dance with you. come on." reluctantly, he took her hand and got up. moving towards the dance floor and dancing with her to the song playing through the speakers, night changes by one direction.
a smile spread across y/n's face as her cheek rested on demetri's shoulder while they danced.

"god, he's hot." demetri scrunched his face up at y/n's remark, eli just laughing. "the winter soldier is not hot." demetri gagged playfully, earning few stares from the people around the friend group.
"he is though." the trio continued watching infinity war. once it ended eli's mom picked them up from the mall, he sat in front and demetri and y/n in the back.
y/n had never told anyone, but she had a huge crush on demetri. she had developed these feelings after dancing with him at the eight grade dance. she couldn't help but blush as she noticed her and demetri's knees were touching. it sounded stupid, but she thought 'maybe he's not moving his knee way because he likes me too'.

"demetri! hey, why'd you write that bad review about cobra kai?" y/n questioned as she walked up to her friend.
he rolled his eyes, "are you gonna chase me down and try to beat me up, just like your boyfriend hawk?"
she scoffed, "he's not my boyfriend. he's my best friend, you know that."
