Miguel stood with a awkward look on his face , his position similar to jonnys as they stood opposite one another on a mat in newly furnished dojo
" so , am I going to get the karate pyjamas too -
" quiet ", Jonny yells in a order , making Miguel purse his lips
" ok"
" the student only speaks when spoken too , is that understood ", he starts
" yes ", Miguel nods , making Jonny tilt his head expectantly
" yes sir ", Miguel tries
" you will always address me as sensei , is that understood "
" oh , yes , sensei", he nods
" and that's aren't pyjamas. This is a gi . And you'll get one when you've earned it . Alright , ready to begin your training "
" yeah , sensei ", he nods once more , not being given any more time before Jonny flips him over with a punch to the stomach and winds him
" what the - oh my god ", he groans out in pain
" lesson one . Strike first . Never wait for the enemy to attack ", Jonny tells him as Miguel tries to get up with much struggle
" you could have gave me , like , a warning ", he groans out
" quiet ", he yells in a order once more as Miguel stood up on his legs
" we do not train to be merciful here , mercy is for the weak-", he tells him as Miguel takes out his inhaler , taking in big puffs so he can breathe "- here on the street , in competition , a man confronts you , he is the enemy . An enemy deserves no mercy . What is the problem , mr Diaz ", he trails off as notes migueled struggle of breathing and the inhaler he was using
" there's no problem , sensei. You ... you punched me , and I have asthma, so ...", Miguel's lips part in surprise as Jonny takes the inhaler from his hands and throws it against the wal , smashing it
" not anymore . We do not allow weakness in this dojo . So , you can leave your asthma and your peanut allergies and all that other made up bullshit outside . Understood ", Jonny says to him
" yes , but those are real medical problems . I was ...", Miguel stops himself once more at the look he got from Jonny
" yes , sensei , understood ", he sighs with a nod
" cobra Kai isn't just about karate . It's about a way of life . Take that first lesson . Stoking first is the initial step forwards victory . Okay , like when you're at a party , and you see a hot babe -
" uh , sure "
-you don't wIt for another guy to talk to her first , do you ", Jonny asks him , and Miguel pulls a face at the question
" I mean , I've never been to a party , and I have a boyfriend, so .... ", Miguel shrugs with a small wince
" big surprise ... wait - boyfriend ", Jonny raises his brows , stepping back to give Miguel a once over as if too check of he was gay or something and Miguel full on winces and gives him a awkward smile
" I - I'm interested in both girls and guys .... And i have a boyfriend, we only just made it official recently , you should meet him , you'd like him , I promise -
" it's all right ", Jonny nods , being half reassuring towards Miguel's ramble , and the teen sighs in relief , as if the slight acceptance meant more than Johnny knew , and it did
" look , striking first is about being aggressive, all right. If you're not aggressive, you're being a pussy , and you don't wanna be a pussy . You wanna have balls ", jonny tells him , and Miguel pulls a face
" don't you think you're doing a lot of genderizing ", he asks him with a frown , and jonnys face blanks , obviously not knowing what he was talking about
" what ", he asks
" oh , uh , sorry , don't you think you're doing a lot of genderizing, sensei ", he corrects himself
" uh , no . What the hell are you talking about ", jonny asks him , making Miguel ahh
" oh , uh , my guidance counsellor says that certain words perpetuate the sexist world veiw that can trigger -
" Quiet ", he yells once more
" from now on , you won't listen to your guidance counsellor . You're going to listen to me . Is that understood "
" yes , sensei ", Miguel nods with slightly wide eyes
" good, now stop yapping like a little girl and give me 50 push ups on your knuckles", he intructs
" oh , uh , yeah , okay ", Miguel says as he goes onto the floor , getting into the position one would for a push up and did so on his knuckles , attempting to do a push up only to groan strainly when he tries to push himself back up , and jonny looks at him oddly
" ah , all right , just do some crunches . Don't you have gym class or something ", he asks with a grimace as Miguel falls onto his back
" yeah ", he says in a groan as he starts to do crunches on his back , the door opening with a small bell as a tubby man comes in
............
" yeah , but it's fine , I swear , it's cool ", Miguel says lightly with his phone pressed between his shoulder blade and ear as he cleans the mats on the floor of the dojo
" no it's not , your cleaning someone's dojo .... For free , that's fucking child labour , he probably thinks he can get away with it cause your coloured , esa rubia jodida verga no tiene cojones -
" eh , ey , Ammy , don't get so worked up , it's no big deal , he's teaching me karate , and I'll see you later anyway , it's all good ", he shrugs off , looking over to the door when the bell rings , jonny coming in with a bag in each of his hands
" I gotta go , ammy , talk to ya later , Te amo", he says before hanging up the phone , not giving amedeo any time to respond as he does , not realising it would be thhe first time he's ever hung up on him or ended the call first in general , but amedeo does , and glances down to the phone in his hand with furrowed brows before looking over to his group of friends that lay lazily around robbies run down apartment , his eyes connecting with robbies , who furrows his brows at the look on his best friends face , but amedeo only shakes his head , putting on a fake smile and slipping his phone into his pocket before rejoining the group in a game of poker
................
It was lunch , the first day of school back from the summer and Miguel glances around cluelessly with a red tray of food in his hands, his lips tugging down distastefully once he catches sight of a group of guys , the same group of guys that beat him up and had jonny save him from and walks between the tables as he's scopes out the place , stopping beside a table that was basically empty besides two scrawny teens
" is it cool if I sit here ", he asks them
" ooh , sooth , tables really blowing up right now . I can't put you on the waitlist but it's probably next semester at the earliest ", the darker haired kid quips sarcastically, making Miguel nod with a frown
" ok ", he says as he goes to leave
" no , I'm kidding , sit ", the same teen calls out , guesturing to the chairs , and Miguel skids his tray onto the table and takes a seat next to the quiet kid
" Miguel ", he introduces himself
" demitri , this is Eli ", the darker haired teen introduces back , making Miguel nod at Eli in greeting
" he's a man of few words ", he says before a pair of pretty girls pass them , and Miguel looks over his shoulder to see what they were looking at
" diude , don't torture yourself. Those are the rich girls", demitri tells him in a warning
" oh , no , I'm not interested ", Miguel shakes his head lightly , an amused smile falling onto his lips , but Eli only looks at him confused while demetri raises a eyebrow as if he doesn't believe him
" no , seriously, I'm in a committed relationship-
" and your sure it's not all in your head ", demetri asks with both brows raised , and Miguel chuckles
" yeah , I'm sure , ammy isn't a figure of my imagination , and I'm more interested in guys than girls anyway -
" gay ", demetri questions in surprise
" no , bi , amedeos my boyfriend , he goes to a different school in the area ", Miguel smiles
" so , do you ever talk to them or ...", he asks , side eyeing the group of girls and going back onto topic despite knowing he could talk about his boyfriend for hours on end
" oh yeah , all the time . We hang out after school , make out , give eachother hand jobs . Eli here is the homecoming king , gets paid more than any one of us , ain't that right Eli ... talk to them , you realise what table you're sitting at , right . You pretty much signed away all hopes of losing your virginity before college ", demitri tells him before backtracking as he now knows Miguel's in a relationship
" your lucky your already in a relationship, if not , you'd be in living hell for the rest of your high school career ", he corrects himself in his usual way as eli frowns , looking at someone else as he notices something
" oh shit , Yasmin is looking at us , probably just making fun of me ", he guesses as he tries to cover up the deformity on his upper lip
" I - I don't think she's making fun of you , I mean , just because they're hot doesn't mean their mean ", Miguel assures him , getting a look from demitri at his assumption
....................
The music was loud , but Miguel could hear his breathing along with every punch he hit at the dumby in front of him
" hey , you don't happen to have any friends who wanna learn karate , do you ", jonny asks as he came out of the back room
" aw , you don't have any friends , who am I kidding , sorry ", he mutters after a few moments of Miguel just continue oh to punch the dumby
" hey , sensei , when am I gonna learn to do some kicking . I was watching a YouTube video of a guy breaking boards , and it looked badass", Miguel rambkes as he turns around
" yeah , no shit , kicking is badass . But your not ready . Besides , if I don't get more students in here , I won't be able to teach you anything ", jonny sighs after he spoke
" you've thought about advertising , right ", Miguel frowns
" yeah , duh , of course - ", jonnys sheepish expression turns hopeful as the bell rung
" welcome to cobra Kai-
" ammy ", Miguel grins , wiping his sweaty forehead with the back of his hand as he rushed forwards to hug the slightly shorter teen , who huffed , not hugging him back but stiffly wraps his arms around his sweaty and lanky body before pushing him away softly
" no offence , but I'm not touching you when your all gross and sweaty , no thanks ", amedeo frowns , and jonny looks between the two with raised brows as amedeo leans his skateboard against the window
" this the boyfriend ", jonny raises his brows at Miguel , who turns around quickly , eyes lighting up happily as he turned amedeo with him as if he was presenting him to jonny
" yeah , this is amedeo , ammy , this is jonny , he's my sensei ", Miguel grins , and jonny nods to the boy , who scowls at him
" Miguel here never shuts up about you ", jonny chuckles , and amedeo sighs
" I know ", he mumbles
......................
Miguel was bored , lying across amedeos bed and looking around absentmindedly while the other teen sat at his desk studying unesecarily but it was expected when it came to amedeo.
" ammy , why don't you join the dojo with me when it's properly open - then we can do karate together ", Miguel hums , rolling onto his stomach , cupping his face in his hands as he looked over at amedeo
" sounds fun , but karate isn't really my thing ", he shrugs off , not even glancing up until Miguel rolled off the bed , wanting attention from his boyfriend
" oh , then what exactly is your thing", Miguel grins , a teasing tone to his voice as he drapes his arms over amedeos shoulders , making the smaller teen tense slightly , thhe pen dropping from his fingers as he glanced over his shoulders , only to find Miguel's face right next to his , their lips a breathe away and his cheeks begun to heat up , looking up at Miguel before glancing back down to his lips . Miguel's breathe caught , his breathe shuttering as he leant closer , their noses bumping together , and amedeos glasses go up his nose slightly at the close proximity as their lips brush against eachothers - and it was like something snapped in each of their minds , pushing their lips against eachother , though Miguel was more timid and weary of what to do , he blindly followed amedeos movements as he moved his lips against his , parting his lips and joining them back together in between kisses
" g-god", Miguel panted , his cheeks blushing deeply - similar to amedeos own - though he seemed less flustered by what they were doing as he chuckled , wrapping his arms around Miguel's shoulders as he turned around in his chair so they were facing one another , pulling Miguel down so their lips could be pushed together once more
