I Think I'm Starting to Love You

Chapter 4

Miguel got the ok to spend the night at Johnny's again, and this time Robby welcomed him into his room.

"Feeling any better?", Miguel asked hopeful as Robby sat on the bed.

"Loads. Though now I'm craving the chocolate mousse cake me and dad ordered before.. you know."

"Shit. I'm sorry. I can go pick it up for you, you know.."

"Nah. I want to talk to you now that we aren't at each others throats", Robby confessed.

"Alright", Miguel smirked cockily and sat next to Robby.

"So let's talk. What happened with Tory?"

"Oh wouldn't you like to know", Robby laughed sarcastically.

"Why don't you tell me how perfect things are with you and Sam, first?" Robby teased.

"Sounds fair! Glad you asked, as things are so perfect. Too perfect that it had to end, actually", Miguel ended not as sad as he'd think.

Robby's smile faded a little.

"Really?"

"Yeah. After her loss at the tournament, she felt she needed time for herself the way I did when I fled to Mexico. Time outside of karate and relationships, such as the ones with me and her dad. I can't even be angry about it. She just.. needs more space and time then I did, so.. she ended it. But as you saw at the water park, we're okay.."

"Wow. I wasn't expecting that. Honestly, you all were the IT couple. Even if I dated her for awhile, it seemed you all were bound to always meet again. Reunite."

"I guess we were. I mean I wasn't always popular, but after beating her ex boyfriends ass in the cafeteria shortly before landing a date with her, I'm sure that did something", Miguel laughed.

"Holy shit you did that!? Damn maybe I shouldn't have dropped out, then!", Robby semi-joked.

"And his friends. With chairs and a tray", Miguel said with pride.

Robby gasped.

"No!", he laughed.

"Yep."

"Damn, now I wanna see how you fight with cafeteria objects.. The fuck did he even do?"

"He lied about them fucking in the movie theatre all because she rejected his advances in short. He felt the need to brag to the whole school apparently so I put him in his place. Then his goons."

"Damn. Well. No wonder she agreed to go on a date with you. Anyone would've fallen for that.." Robby said a bit more serious. Why the fuck was that hot.

"Just how you and Tory fell for each other at prom. Me and Sam hated admitting it, but y'all were the best dressed. It's no mystery how big of an aid that was, but kicking ass together was definitely top tier."

Robby smiled but it faded.

"Yeah, well. Apparently a dojo was enough to ruin that status. You've been in Cobra Kai, so I'm sure you'd understand why I left, and why I wanted to take her with me. But I do not control her decisions, and she didn't want to be with me if I wouldn't let go of her decision to stay. In short."

"I see", Miguel said before grabbing Robby's hand again.

"I can't help but wonder if our break ups brought us together", Miguel said in an unreadable tone- but when he cupped Robby's cheek with his other hand after sliding his hair back, Robby understood.

"Oh.. that's a nice way of looking at it", he agreed suddenly feeling a warm desire heat up inside.

"A very nice way", Miguel assured before caressing Robby's cheek with his thumb, still cupping it before batting his eyes down below and slowly striking first.
