Cobra Kai Imagines

Tech Town: Demetri

Summary: You started a new job at Tech Town only to find out you would be working with your crush.

Warnings: None

I walked into the brightly lit building, a bell above the door slightly jingling at the movement. A soft smile was planted on my face, hopefully masking the nervousness I felt. This was my first day at my first job and the anxiety I felt was through the roof. I was just hoping I wouldn't mess up.

I made my way to the front desk, ringing the small bell on the counter. "Y/N, is that you?", I heard a familiar voice asked from behind me. Instantly I turned around at the voice. Standing in front of me was Demetri, dressed in a Tech Town uniform. My eyebrows raised in surprise, not knowing he worked here. "What are you doing here?", he asked after a moment of silence. A small blush rose on my cheeks realizing I didn't respond to his first question.

"Demetri, hi", I replied after finding my voice. I mentally facepalmed at the awkwardness in my tone. "I'm actually looking for Roy", I answered. He slightly tilted his head in confusion.

"It's my first day", I stated, answering his unspoken question. A small smile graced his face at the new information.

"Really?", he asked with subtle enthusiasm, making my heart rate increase. He made his way to stand beside my at the counter. "Finally, someone I know. You know how many old guys I have to work with?", he added.

"Ahem", someone cleared their throat from behind me, causing both Demetri and I to jump in surprise. We both slowly turned around to find Roy standing at the counter with his arms crossed. He slowly shook his head while staring at us. Nervousness began to flood my body at the thought of already screwing up on my first day. The nerves slowly dissipated as a smile crept onto his face.

"Old huh?", Roy asked rhetorically. A smiled at his teasing knowing how worked up Demetri could get. He wasn't the best a reading people and their jokes.

"No, sir. I was just joking. I didn't-", he began to ramble. Roy laughed at Demetri's stressed state.

"I was just giving you a hard time Demetri", Roy stated causing Demetri to let out a small sigh of relief. Roy turned to me, a friendly smile on his face, "How's it going Y/N? Ready for your first day?", he asked. I returned his smile and nodded, "Sure am, sir".

"Please, call me Roy", he said. I nodded in response. "I see you already know Demetri", he added. I met Demetri's gaze before turning back to Roy.

"Yeah, we go to school together", I said. Demetri nodded in agreement.

"She's really nice. I think she'll be really good", Demetri said. I looked down, blushing. From the corner of my eye I could see Demetri's face begin to burn a crimson color. Looking up I saw Roy looking between us with a questioning look in his eyes.

"Well, that's good to hear", Roy started, "I actually have a lot to do here, so I'm going to have you take Y/N on one of your house calls. Could you show her the ropes?"

Demetri glanced at me before nodded, "Yes, of course". Roy nodded in approval.

"Great. Y/N, I'll go ahead and grab your uniform and get you clocked in", he started as he made his way to the back. "Feel free to put your stuff in one of the cubbies", he called out as he pointed to a wall full of shelves.

After getting dressed in my uniform and getting a rundown from Demetri on what we'd be doing, we began our drive to the customer's house. We sat in a somewhat awkward silence before Demetri spoke.

"So, what made you want to work here?", he asked. He briefly glanced at me from the passenger seat but quickly averted his gaze once he caught my eyes. I let out a soft chuckle at his shyness.

"Well I needed a job and I know a lot about computers and whatnot, so I figured, might as well", I replied with a small shrug. He nodded at the answer.

"What about you?", I asked curiously. Before today, I didn't even know Demetri had a job. From what I remember, all he did was karate.

"Kind of the same reason", he began, "Once I stopped doing karate, I figured I needed to find something to occupy my time". I nodded in understanding. The rest of the ride was filled with a more comfortable silence before we reached our destination.

We pulled up to a somewhat rundown apartment complex and made our way to the door listed on the form. After knocking, we waited a moment for someone to answer. Before long, the door swung open to reveal a middle aged man with blond hair. He glanced at me before staring at Demetri. "You must be my nerd", he said before walking in the house.

"Oh, great", Demetri said quietly before we made our way inside.

After helping the customer who I learned was Johnny Lawrence, a.k.a sensei Lawrence of Eagle Fang, a.k.a one of Demetri's old "Sensei's", we made our way back to Tech Town.

Arriving back at the store, Demetri began to show me around and explained pretty much everything there was and how to use it. I'm pretty sure he would show me how to work the toilet if I asked him. I couldn't be upset though, I loved hanging out with him despite what people say about his "bad people skills".

An hour before we were scheduled to leave, Roy told us to take a break. Not objecting in any way, Demetri and I made our way to the break room. We sat and talked for a majority of our break, just getting to know each other more. There was a brief silence between us after Demetri finished telling about a game called Crucible Control. I tried my best to be interested, but in the end I think Demetri caught on to the fact that I had no idea what he was talking about.

"So...", Demetri cleared his throat, "are you going to prom?", he asked. My eyes widened in shock, not expecting the question.

"Uh, no", my shoulders slumped slightly, "I don't have anyone to go with and quite honestly I don't have many friends". My cheeks blushed in embarrassment at the confession.

"Really?", he asked shockingly, "I mean, would you want to go?", he asked. I looked at him with confusion, "with me?", he added.

A large smile spread across my face, "Demetri, are you asking me to prom?", I asked. He straightened his posture before answering, "It depends on if you say yes". I chuckled at his answer.

"I would love to go to prom with you, Demetri", I answered. And with that, we spent the remainder of our shift with smiles on our faces, and a newfound excitement.
