Hawk and y/n are both siblings and unfortunately for both of them they both got cleft lips. Eli has always been bullied for it and it worsened when he went to high school and y/n was the same.
She just started and she already hated it. Everyone gave her a hard time. Everywhere she went she was tormented about her lip just like eli but it got better for him when he turned into hawk.
Y/n couldn't take it anymore. She hit her breaking point with it. She ran out of school and the minute she got home she cried hysterically.
" hey what's the matter" there mum came running over to her.
" go away" she said storming past her and right into elis arms. Hes the only one that will understand. Hes been there.
" shhhhh its okay. What happened" he spoke softly stroking her back.
" I cant take it anymore. Everyone is so mean" she cried harder and harder.
Eli held her tighter fighting back tears of his own. This brought back so many memories for him and it really hurts him y/n is now experiencing the pain he felt. He loves y/n so much and he never wanted her to experience this.
" I know. I know how you feel but its going to be okay. I know it might not seem like that now but I promise it will" he said continuing to stroke her back.
The pair hugged for a while longer until y/n cries started to stop and she pulled away and eli wiped her tears for her.
" how about I show you so karate? So when they pick on you again you can teach them a lesson" he said gently and y/n nodded.
They both headed to cobra kai and hawk showed her the basics. The punches and some kicks.
" okay do you want to practice" he said after a while of showing her some moves.
She nodded nervously. Hawk seemed to be pretty good at karate.
" dont worry I'm not going to actually punch or kick you" he said seeing her nervous face.
She smiled and y/n went to punch him but he blocked but y/n managed to kick his stomach after a while of trying to at least get one hit.
" I did it" she said excitedly.
Hawk smiled at her excitement. Yes he was going easy on her but still she managed to learn quickly and with a bit more practice she'll be like him hopefully.
" do you think I'm ready to kick the bullies asses" she asked hopefully.
" yeah with a bit more practice you'll be kicking ass in no time but until then if anyone does mess with you come to me and I'll deal with them" he promised y/n and the pair continued to spare for the rest of the evening so y/n would be able to defend herself.
