"I like shiny things, but I'd marry you with paper rings
Uh huh, that's right
Darling, you're the one I want, and
I hate accidents except when we went from friends to this"

A few days later, the halls were alive with the usual chaos of students heading to their next class, locker doors slamming, and casual conversations overlapping into a buzz of sound. Sunny and Eli walked side by side, their pace leisurely as they navigated through the crowd. Eli, with his hunched shoulders and awkward fidgeting, seemed smaller compared to the confident persona he would one day embrace. His eyes darted around, not fully meeting Sunny's gaze as he recounted the events at Cobra Kai.
"So...uh, I got Demetri to come with me, you know, to Cobra Kai," Eli started, his voice tinged with a mix of nervous excitement and guilt. "I thought maybe it'd help him toughen up a bit."
Sunny, always in tune with the feelings of others, picked up on the hesitancy in his voice. "Really? How'd it go? Did he like it?" she asked, turning her head slightly to get a better look at Eli's expression, her curiosity genuine.
Eli let out a breath, one hand scratching the back of his neck as if he could physically remove the discomfort of the memory. "Uh... not exactly." He laughed nervously, eyes still not quite meeting hers. "Demetri... he got his ass kicked. I didn't think Sensei Lawrence would go that hard, but yeah. He kinda used Demetri as an example for everyone else."
Sunny's eyes widened, her lips forming a sympathetic pout. "Oh no, Eli, that's awful. Poor Demetri. I bet he wasn't ready for something like that at all."
"Yeah... he really wasn't," Eli mumbled, shoulders slumping further. "Now he's totally done with it. Says he's never going back. I didn't mean for him to get hurt."
There was a flicker of guilt in Eli's voice, and Sunny picked up on it instantly. She gently bumped her shoulder against his, trying to lift his spirits. "Don't beat yourself up over it, Eli. I'm sure you were just trying to help him out. Cobra Kai's intense-maybe it's not for everyone."
He finally glanced over at her, the corner of his mouth twitching into a small, appreciative smile. "Yeah, I guess. I just thought...I dunno, maybe it could help him feel stronger or something."
There was a pause before Sunny spoke again, her tone softer. "Are you going back?"
Eli's nerves seemed to settle for a moment as he nodded, this time with a bit more certainty. "Yeah, I'm going back. It's... intense, but I like it. It's not like anything else I've done before. It feels... empowering." His eyes lit up briefly, betraying his shy exterior. "I feel like I'm finally doing something that makes me, you know, not just the quiet guy who sits in the back."
