An: I'd like to thank everyone who stuck around for the second chapter and I would have came out with this chapter but my old iPhone got corrupted and erased my stories from the past few years.
I don't own the characters just the story.
Maya told Farkle almost everything that happened while he was gone, but there was one thing she wouldn't share until they had enough time together alone and didn't have the entire Mathews clan with them. But there was one thing she had to ask him;
"Why the tattoo Farkle?" Maya asked. The curiosity nagging at her.
"Well it reminds me of two women in my life besides my mom, who pretty much fits that description."
She blushed when he said that, and knew Riley would as well.
After a quick shower and change, Farkle walked out of the locker room with his gym bag slung over his shoulder only to be greeted by people he once saw as family. He was swarmed by cheers and congratulations from the people he held close to his heart, he was proud to say the least.
Lucas was the first to cheer him.
"Wow Farkle you really killed out there!"
"Yeah you were a monster!" Aguie said which caused everyone else to laugh at the irony.
As they continued to congratulate him he thought back to the time before he trained, when he realized he wasn't wanted anymore. At least he thought so.
Five years ago.
Before he was sent to the hospital, Farkle was wondering how he let his life get to this. He knew Smackle didn't feel comfortable with being around the environment of John Quincy Adams, even though their group of friends treated her with the utmost respect, but she just didn't feel happy there. Even with Farkle by her side.
Maya hated the complications of her life now more than anything, but She was glad that Farkle was able to move on from his infatuation with her and Riley, who also felt that he find someone who would reciprocate his feelings. That was made moot by the fact Farkle and Smackle broke up.
They confronted him about why he had ended things with his intellectual equal, and if it was him who ended their relationship. A bombshell was dropped when he said it wasn't him who ended things, but her.
Smackle never felt like she belonged at John quince Adams, never felt she fit in with "normal students", even with Farkle by her side. She still felt like an outsider. So she asked for a transfer back to Einstein academy, there she felt like she belonged, like she mattered. The decision made, she left, and a broken hearted Farkle was left behind.
Present
The whole gang was at Farkle's place celebrating his victory, wondering how he became a beast in the octagon.
"So, how long have you been training in mma Farkle?" Mr. Mathews asked.
"Oh, a good five or six years." He answered his old teacher.
When he told them that, they realized that's how many years he was gone, and when they pretty much excommunicated him from the group. This brought Maya herself great heartache knowing she had hurt him the most.
The evening was going well, but he felt he had nothing in common with these people anymore, even though he missed them dearly.
During the celebratory dinner he noticed that Maya was looking at him the entire time. He was becoming more bashful from the expression of tenderness in her eyes. After everyone else left she stayed to help Farkle clean up and while they were alone she was going through with what she planned to do when she figured out her feelings for him.
He was done with the dishes and when he turned around Maya was a few inches away from his face, eyes shimmering with desire. And before he knew what was going on she crashed her lips to his.
