{ You }

When you first saw him — in his ideal form — he was beautiful, perfect, even. It was the first time you'd ever been physically drawn to someone.

You hadn't smiled that large sense middle school, where the popular boy, Casey Malone, asked you out in front of his friends. Which led you to believe it was some sort of dare. That theory was shut down when he was at your door dressed in a button-up holding a bouquet of roses. Casey was actually very sweet, but so was Demetri.

Demetri had a vibe to him, that screamed kind, caring, genuine, and a tiny bit of intimidating nature, but he sure was a sweetheart.

You met him through Student Council. He was running for President, so we're you. You were the only two candidates, so whoever lost would become Vice President, and you were very determined to win, being Student Council president would look great as another addition on a college application.

After a close vote, you won, and there was just something about how he shook your hand as a way of congratulating you. His hands were extremely soft, and when he looked down at you, he had a sparkle in his eye, that made your heart flutter.

There was just something about a man that came off so genuine, to secretly be so alluring.

"Y/N!" The cheerful voice of Moon made you smile, as she walked outside holding a plate of drinks, it was just gatorade, but she wanted to feel fancy so she poured it into wine glasses from her mothers kitchen.

You and the Miyagi-Fang/Cobra Kai gang were hanging out at Moon's place. Said gang consisted of you, Moon, Sam Larusso, Miguel Diaz, Eli Moskowitz, Robby Keene, Tory Nichols, and your beloved Demetri Alexopoulos. It was quite funny, actually, you never imagined all these lovely people would intentionally be hanging out together, but it had been a year after the all-valley, you were all eighteen and nineteen, and the rivalry had passed.

"Ooh, you put them in the wine glasses this time," Sam grinned, with a slight laugh, "Good idea."

The boys were swimming, except for Robby. Him and his diva-self was sitting at the side of the pool while his sunglasses sat on his head. You drank out of your bendy straw as you eyed Demetri.

At first he was struggling at Marco Polo, but now, he was just floating around. And no matter how self conscious he secretly may have been, you thought he looked more than amazing. "Y/N! You're staring." Tory pointed out, she was sat in the other seat in between you and Sam as Moon sprawled on the other side.

"Can you blame me, though?" You asked, not taking your eyes off of him. Demetri came up from underwater, pushing his hair out of his face and over his head, as if he was in a movie where the hot guy was fixing his hair in slow motion. Demetri was the hot guy.

He smiled at a joke Miguel had told, laughing and shaking his head. Eli turned over to you, realizing you were staring at his binary brother, realizing that his binary brother was being stared at by a hot girl.

You looked away, not in the intention of getting caught, as Eli whispered something to Demetri. "Aye, Demetri, you got any interest in Y/N over there? She was totally just checking you out."

Well so much for trying not to be noticed.

Demetri looked around with a shocked expression, "Who, me?" His face said it all, it was covered up as funny, but in reality it made you sad how such a pretty human could be self conscious.

Miguel nodded, "I saw it too, amigo. You should talk to her instead of the 'unnecessary sexual tension' like you normally would." His words made Demetri laugh under his breath. "I wouldn't call it sexual tension. I would call it intense eye contact." Eli scoffed, "Sounds the same to me."

You placed your lips onto the cold glass, sipping some of the gatorade as you tried your hardest to relax- "Cannonball!"

Demetri ran and jumped into the pool with his arms around his legs, splashing you causing you to gasp. "Demetri!" You got up quickly, angrily slamming your drink onto the tan concrete. You ran into the pool, splashing as you did so. "You little-"

Demetri mumbled an oh shit before attempting to escape. You swam after him, thank god you took swimming as your extra curricular throughout high school. You eventually caught up to him, he let out a high-pitched squeal as you hopped on his back and put him into a headlock.

"Hold your breath!" He yelled. You were confused until he threw you back into the water, your laugh turned into a scream when he grabbed you and put you over his shoulder. "Ah! Demetri!" You squealed loudly, "I swear to god if you drop me!"

Demetri being Demetri, he did just what you asked him not to, he dropped you into the water, but you weren't ready, so you inhaled some water, and was quickly brought up by his strong arms. He sat you up onto ground, your legs dangled off of the edge into the refreshing pool water.

"You alright, love? That's my fault, I should've given you a warning." His joking tone was completely gone. Now, if anything he sounded more concerned. You coughed in the direction away from him, then took a deep breath.

"I'm okay." You sighed, and when you opened your eyes you were met with his gorgeous green ones gaping up at you. You swallowed the clear dryness in your mouth. "You sure? I guess I kinda knocked the air out of you." He admitted awkwardly.

You shook your head, "You really don't know your own strength, huh?" You asked him, and he scratched his neck and shook his head, you put your hands onto his face, cupping his soft skin. "Hey," You said. He lifted his head, and you struggled to settle the butterflies in your stomach. He eyes seemed surprisingly soft.

"You shouldn't underestimate yourself as much as you do. You are strong," A small shade of red flooded his cheeks and he looked at the water in effort to hide it.

You tilted his head up again, making the intense eye contact Demetri had mentioned earlier. "You are literally the funniest person I've ever met, you're great at keeping secrets, you're handsome," He smiled at that one, "And you're one of the best people I've ever met." He looked up at you with hope in his eyes.

"You really mean all that?" He asked with a deep breath. "Of course I did, Demetri. You're perfect." You pushed some hair out of his face, and he smiled sweetly up at you, and his cheeks became pink. "Are you blushing?" You confronted with a laugh.

He scoffed and covered his face, "Shut up." He laughed, turning his head away from you. You laughed and hopped back into the pool. You swam over to where he was now. He spotted desire in your eyes. He gulped. "Demetri, I think I forgot my sunglasses inside. Would you my accompanying me inside to grab them?"

His eyes grew wide. Calm down, dude. You got this. "Yeah, sure." You smiled sneakily, and grabbed his hand. You led him out of the pool, he looked back at the gang, mouthing an 'oh my god!' before allowing you to lead him into the house.
