Brutal - Robby Keene

02-14. Reconnections

"We fucking beat Cobra Kai!" Mar whooped as she walked into the boys' room with an almost finished bottle of Vermouth. "We have to celebrate!"

"Are you drinking already?" Miguel asked the girl with an amused look on his face as he put on his shirt, looking to her.

"What is this?" Eli asked as he took the bottle from the girl, frowning as he read it. "Vermouth?"

"That's what it says on the label, doesn't it?" Mar hummed as she flopped unto Felix who was already half asleep. "I got it from this guy downstairs who told me my hair was soft like a rabbit."

Robby glanced to her with a frown but didn't say anything as he silently folded his clothes for the next day.

"Mar, you shouldn't take alcohol from strangers." Felix grumbled out as he laid on her back. "Can you walk on my back? It's killing."

"He's not a stranger, his name is Alberto and he has five dogs and two goats." Mar hummed as she got up from Felix as she began to walk on his back, hearing the satisfying cracks. "Oo, that crack sounds so-"

Mar let out a loud yelp as she fell off of Felix's back. She was about to hit the wall before strong arms quickly caught her.

"Oh, shit, Mar!" Felix shot up with widened eyes but sighed in relief as he saw that Robby had caught her.

Mar let out a breath as her hand rested on his chest. They both stared up at each other, Demetri and Eli exchanging a look.

"Thank you, good sir." Mar patted the boy's chest before she got up, going back to walking on her brother's back. "Is that good?"

"Yes, please get off now.. you're on my neck." Felix said in a strained voice, causing Mar to jump off unto Demetri who lay on the other bed.

He groaned as the girl laid on top of him while hugging him slightly. Eli smiled slightly as he sat down on the edge of the bed.

"Alright, now.. who wants to go down to the bar with me for a few drinks?" Mar asked with a hum. "My treat!"

"I would but I'm beat, I'm traumatized from the last time." Felix murmured out as he put the pillow over his head.

"I don't think it's a good idea for you to go to the bar right now, Mar.." Eli told the girl softly as she was rubbing Demetri's hair.

"Well, I'm going rather you guys are going with me or not.." Mar hummed as she sat up, accidentally kicking Eli who glared at her slightly. "So either one of you comes with me or I go alone."

None of the boys spoke up, causing Mar to sigh out exasperatedly as she got up with a pitiful look on her face.

"Fine, I guess I'm going to the bar alone." Mar sighed out as she began to slowly walk out of the room. "All alone in a bar.. with lots of people who don't speak English.. might get kidnapped and human trafficked but oh well. Hope you guys don't feel bad.."

The boys all collectively rolled their eyes in annoyance. Robby was hesitant but he was going to tell her he would tag along.

Eli beat him to it however. "You're so annoying, Mar, oh my God. I'll go with you so you don't get kidnapped."

"Yay!" Mar grinned as she jumped unto Eli's back, the boy rolling his eyes as he held her and the bottle at once. "To the bar! Wait no, carry me to my room to change, but then to the bar!"

"I'll be back soon, I got my keycard so you don't have to wait up." Eli told the boys before unwillingly carrying Mar out of the room on his back.

As the door shut behind them, Robby sighed out exasperatedly as she picked up his gym bag and left his unfolded clothes.
