Hooked By Her // Cobra Kai

Together

"Where the hell have you guys been?"
"How'd you even get in here?"
"Uh, your mom's left the key under the gnome since kindergarten"
"You guys should think about increasing the security given, you know, the karate war. But that's not important now"
"What's so important?"
"Didn't you hear? The all valley has separated gender divisions. I mean, do I look like Miyagi-Do's best hope at defeating Robby Keene? I mean, Mr.LaRusso says that anyone can be the hero, but I'm not Batman."

"Well obviously you aren't because he wouldn't walk into someone's house and start shouting at people. By the way, thank you for waking me up from my nap"
Rubbing my eyes, I walked over and plopped down on the couch next to hawk. Things have been tough for some of the students. Especially for hawk. He thought his hair was his best feature and he had it taken from him. Unfortunately no matter how much I told him that his hair didn't make up who he was, it was still hard for him to believe.
"My apologies your highness. But I'm more like Alfred. You're Batman. And you your highness are like cat woman."
I smirked and looked at hawk who still had no reaction and my smirk started to deflate. I just want everything to go back to normal.
"Oh right, I forgot, you're not a DC guy. Whatever. Forget Batman, you're the hawk"

Rolling his eyes, hawk removed the hat he was currently wearing  and threw it onto the table and then grabbed my hand.
"Yeah, not anymore. So..."
"Hey, at least it looks better than the last time I saw it"
"Are you serious dude? That's what you say to your friend?"
"Everyone at school knows what happened to us. It's embarrassing for me"
"Who cares what they think? Besides, it'll grow back"
"It doesn't matter. I ruined my reputation, talked a big game, and just proved I was an asshole. To Ophelia, to Miguel, and especially you. I got what I deserved"

"Hey, I forgave you, remember? Ophelia forgave you, hell even Miguel forgave you. And I don't care if you have a Mohawk, or a mullet, or pigtails, Miyagi-Do needs you. It also needs Ophelia too. You guys are a package deal. We seriously need you guys"
"We aren't going to be going back to Miyagi-Do Dimitri"
Standing up I went to go get a cup of coffee and listen to them talk. Like I said it had been hard. The first night we came home I took Eli into the bathroom and fixed his hair so it wasn't uneven. Then he made me sit on the counter while he cleaned my neck. We laid in bed till the sun started to rise and basically we haven't left the house since. Eli's mom was worried but I had convinced her he was just tired. I am really hoping this cycle breaks because I'm worried. I'm worried about my love.
"That's great. You're choosing eagle fang over your bestfriend"
"I'm not going back to eagle fang either! I-I'm done with karate, man. I quit"

Walking towards the living area slowly I put my hand on Dimitri's shoulder and nodding my head towards the stairs
"Let me walk you out"

"You can't let him quit Ophelia, karate is his life, he loves karate. If he didn't have karate in his life then he wouldn't of met you"
Rolling my eyes, I put my finger to my lips and pointed outside the front door.
Closing the door silently I turned to face him
"Listen, I understand where you are coming from but listen to me now, I have slowly been trying to make him feel better. I understand that he "needs" karate but what he went throw was traumatic. You were not there. You have no idea what happened to us. He had to lay there while getting his head shaved because if he made one move then Tory would of dug that knife deeper into my neck. I will try to see what I can do but do not come into this house and push him before he is ready"
Pushing my finger into his chest firmly I turned around and walked back inside and back to hawk who was still on his computer.

"Hey baby"
Walking behind the couch I kissed his cheek making him smile a little bit.
"You know we should try to get out of the house. Maybe see everyone...maybe just join in on some karate classes. Or maybe we can cuddle and watch a movie..." turning my head down I placed a soft kiss on his neck and continued until I got to his lower neck before I felt myself being pulled onto the couch by my under arms.
Giggling I felt Eli kiss my lips softly. He is such a good person.
Thumping coming from the stairs caused us both to look up and sigh. Apparently, Dimitri cannot take the hint as he smiled softly at the both of us and plopped down on the couch just below where I had my feet.
"You guy's can't quit"
"I already told you, I made up my mind"
"Hey, you're the one that got me into karate, remember? I mean I was perfectly happy playing dungeon lord after school, but you put me in a situation where I had to join a dojo. And you know what? It was the best thing that ever happened to me. I got stronger, gained confidence, got the girl of my dreams...Even if she ends up leaving me for some hot Aussie dude she meets down there. Hell, I'm actually excited about the all Valley tournament. I'd never thought I'd say that. But it's not gonna be as exciting if you're not there"
Looking up at Eli he was ignoring what Dimitri was saying to him but I had listened to all of it. It made sense and he was just trying to be a good friend for him.
"Okay, you're gonna make me do this"
Dimitri reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone before sanding up and pushing my upper body back against the couch to sit in front of my body next to Eli.
"Excuse me Ophelia"
"Seriously Dimitri? You can actually see in laying here right" rolling his eyes he scooted forward a little bit, allowing me to have room to breathe and to be able to see his phone screen along with Eli
"You said you deleted these"
"Oh, I say a lot of things. Which tends to be a polarizing attribute of mine. And now you're dream girl is going to see this video to" turning his head Dimitri winked at me before hitting play on the video.
"Why are you showing me these?"
"Because this is who you are"
"A loser?"
"My best friend. Her boyfriend by the way. I know you think that Mohawk defined who you are, but it didn't. Not to me. Not to her. If she didn't love you the way she said she did then she would of left by now. But she is here by your side and so am I. Eli, hawk... hell, call yourself Cornelius for all I care. None of that changes the fact that you're my binary brother. Whether you're number one, or a zero"
Now that was a speech. Closing my eyes I felt Dimitri get and could hear him start to walk away.
"I'll leave. Talk to each other. We have a karate practice tomorrow at noon. I hope to see you guys there"

Opening my eyes and sitting up, I looked over at eli and grabbed his hand and gave it a light squeeze.
"So what are you thinking babe? You ready to kick ass and make them regret what they did to us? Or do you want to lay here and watch the Harry Potter movies again? I'm fine with either as long as you are by my side"
Giving me a smile eli stood up from the couch and pulled me up with him sighing.
"Are you with me? Any decision I make...you'll be with me?"
"Are you kidding? I haven't stayed this long just to leave when you need me most. Plus I think you look kinda sexy without your Mohawk" Smirking at him and letting out a giggle eli kissed my forehead and bit his lip.
"Alright. We are going back to Miyagi-Do. And she are going to do the best we can. But for now I'm going to throw you over my shoulder and we are going to go watch the Harry Potter movies in bed"
As soon as he said that I was thrown over his shoulder while laughing because this is truly what I had missed. My funny and amazing boyfriend.

"Let's go Eli. We have places to be and you are driving my car today"
This morning was beautiful. Waking up this morning was different then it has been the last week or so. This morning eli was up and in the kitchen making pancakes, bacon and eggs along with coffee and oj, which he hasn't done in a while and it was really nice. It was just after 11 am so now we were trying to get dressed and ready to go to practice
"I'm coming babe just let me grab my jacket and we can go alright?" Kissing his lips I nodded and jumped in the car and waited. For some reason I had a good feeling about today.

"Well, look who decided to come back"

Hawk walked towards Mr.LaRusso and I stood back a foot or so. This was the first of many new starts for the both of us and it's going to be overwhelming.
"It's good to see you, Eli. And you too, Ophelia.  Or is it hawk?"

"Oh, doesn't matter. I'm just here to do what I can to help out the team. Thanks to Dimitri and Ophelia. If it wasn't for them I wouldn't be here." Reaching back eli grabbed my hand and pulled me forward giving my temple a kiss.
"That's good. The more help, the better. But first, we need to get you guys a gi"
Walking around us after patting my back Dimitri and the rest of the guys came to say hello. God I missed this.
Looking up at eli we made eye contact
"Is this really what you want? If it isn't we can go home" Shaking his head eli faced me and smiled before looking around and back at me.
"No this is where we need to be. We need to help our friends. Plus watching you kicking someone's ass is kinda hot" Smirking down at me, eli let out a laugh as I smacked him lightly on the chest. This is it. This is where we were meant to be. And I'm loving every second of it as long as we are together.
