She walks into the tattoo shop where Hawk goes. He called her to meet him there. She saw Mitch and Chris looking at the wall of tattoos. "Thinking about getting something."

"Maybe, it has to be badass though." Chris looks at a dragon tattoo.

"Of course." She rolled her eyes. She watches Hawk getting his back tattoo touched up. "He's almost done?"

"I think so, the new tattoo is done." Mitch nods.

"New tattoo?" She swerves around to look at them.

Chris hit Mitch for ruining the surprise. "Nothing, nothing. I said nothing." Mitch didn't want to get beat up by Hawk.

"Thank Rico." She observed her boyfriend shaking the artist's hand.

"Anytime Hawk." He nods.

Her eyes zone in on the new tattoo he had over his heart. It was her lipstick stain with her signature over it. "You liar, there is no collage." She beams up at him.

"Guilty." He smirks.

She grabbed him by the back of his head and pulled him into a kiss. "It's very hot that you branded yourself for me." She looks at the permanent mark on his skin that shows he was hers.

"If that's how you want to look at it." He chuckles against her lips. "Does it make you want to get one?"

"Who knows?" She playfully shrugs.

"You could get a hawk on your ass… oh no, under your tits." He took a step back to look her over to try and imagine where it could go.

"What?" She laughed.

"The wings would curve around your underboob, the body can be between your tits." He felt himself getting excited at the thought.

"We'll see." She walks out with him trailing behind her.

"Come on Asshats, grab my bags, we're leaving." He yelled over his shoulder.


After a lesson, the Cobra Kai gang went out to dinner. The girls were sitting at their own table. "Oh my god, Yasmine has the same bikini as me." Moon giggled that she and her friend would buy the same thing.

"You look better in it." Lee looks at the phone.

"Stop babe, it's not a competition." She playfully scolds.

"Tell her she can stay in France." Aisha scoffs, making Moon drop her smile.

"You know what we should get matching bikinis," Lee said not liking the frown on her face.

"Oh my god, yes." She cheers.

Tory throws an ice cube over at Miguel. "Hey," He looked over at them.

"Oops, must've slipped out of my hand." Tory watched as he went back to his laptop. "What are you even doing?"

"Going all in." Miguel stares at his screen.

"Oh god, I already had to listen to so many all-in jokes on the way here." Lee sighed.

"I don't think Sensei remembered that we have a class of mostly teenage boys when he went with that saying." Aisha laughed.

"Bert, actually made the joke I'm going All in… your mom." She said, making the girls laugh.

"Oh my god, did Hawk hit him?" Aisha knew the two had a weird big brother little brother relationship.

"He was driving so, he wasn't able to this time." She snickers.

"I thought you said you took care of this." Hawk shoved a phone in Lee's face.

She had to move her face so it wouldn't get hit. "A Yelp review of Cobra Kia. ONE STAR!" She shouted in shock.

"Read it," Aisha demands.

"Where to begin? This establishment doesn't warrant the name. How they are still in business, I have no idea. The dojo employs a very unprofessional sensei like they just picked someone off the street! He does not take into account the safety and personal boundaries of the students at all! Now, beyond that, the facility is in dire need of a major facelift. I almost expect to see cockroaches running past the entrance. It may look badass on the outside but, this dojo leaves so much to be desired." She read.

"Who is it?" Moon asked.

Lee clicks on the account to curse when she sees Demetri's face. "Shit… don't do anything stupid." She looks up at Hawk.

"I'm gonna make him take it down." He hissed.

"Don't hit him. Talk to him." She demands.

"I'll talk to him first." He walks out with Chris, Mitch, and a few other guys behind him.

"Fuck." She curses.

"He's been getting angrier lately." Moon watches him with worry. "You don't think he would really hurt him, do you?"

Aisha and Lee exchange a look of unsureness. "Honestly, this fight was building up for a while. Even before Eli became Hawk. Before anytime they had a disagreement, he could back down since he knew Demetri wouldn't. But, now he has a backbone and isn't going to back down anymore than Demetri will." Lee felt helpless at their friendship falling apart.

"Male pride is disgusting." Tory got up to walk over to Miguel.

"Aishia, can I talk to Lee for a second?" Moon asks.

"Sure," She got up from the table. She was nervous for Lee since she has never seen Moon serious before.

"What's up?" Lee turns to her.

"I love the time we all spent together but I can't be around Hawk anymore." She is trying not to cry.

"What?" She tilts her head.

"He has such a short fuse. I feel like I'm walking on eggshells around him. I can't remember the last time we hung out that something didn't set him off and you have to talk him down. I'm honestly scared of him and for you." She felt like it was only a matter of time before Lee was no longer perfect in Hawk's eyes. He nearly smashed the phone in her face just now.

"He wouldn't hit me." She scoffs.

"And a few weeks ago, you would have said he'd never hurt Demetri. But, now he is out there hunting him down like a starving animal." She pointed out the window.

"I'm not breaking up with Hawk for you." She glares.

"I'm not asking you to do that. I'm asking you to seriously look at where your relationship is headed. I think it's a dark path, that's why I have to go because I'm not going to date a bully." She got up to walk out of the restaurant.

"Guess I'm paying for her meal." She watched her go.

Aisha sat down across from her. "Did she break up with you?"

"Something like that." She sighs.

"I'm sorry… but you always said this was temporary, right?" Aisha drank her soda.

"Yeah, it's just I didn't see it coming." She looked around the restaurant. "Is it just me and you?"

"Yeah, most of the guys went with Hawk. Tory and Miguel snuck off together." She wiggles her eyebrows.

"Finally getting over Sam." She gave a weak smile for her friend's new romance.

"I know it's about time. I'm tired of him bringing her up every two minutes." She sneers.

"He is getting better at it." Lee defends him.

"Maybe at saying it but you can tell he still thinks about her with his pathetic face." She rolled her eyes.

"Yeah, he does have that permanent kicked puppy look lately but it's better than the aggressive alpha dog act." She remembers how angry Miguel was when they first broke up.

"I hope Tory realizes that she might just be a rebound." Aisha didn't want her new friend to get hurt.

"Nah, Miguel is not the hit it and quit it type." She shook her head.

"You know you and Miguel would kind of be perfect together." She thought it before but didn't want Hawk's head to explode.

"Yeah, let's just have all the Cobra Kai members run a train on me." She teased.

"No I mean, you're a lot like Sam." She could see some similarities.

"Ouch." She put a hand over her heart.

"I mean, you're both goofy, smart, and driven but you don't judge people from on top of a pedestal you put yourself on. Miguel is Eli with the right amount of confidence." Aisha put thought into her ship.

"As much fun as being the Elena in the Cobra Kai Diaries would be, I don't think Stefan is into me." She laughed at the thought of being with Miguel romantically.

"You know they should have ended up together." She pushed on.

"I think Elena should have dumped them both when she found out she had their ex's face." She laughed at her insistence.

"Okay, that's true." She nods.


"You said you were going to try and talk first." Hawk and Lee were fighting in front of the dojo.

"I did, and he challenged me, not the whole way around." He was pissed that Robby knocked him out today. He came here to lick his wounds in peace, not to be nagged by her.

"I don't know why you couldn't let it go." She sighed.

"He disrespected our dojo." He pointed to the Cobra Kai sign that was lit up above it.

"So, no one even reads Yelp reviews anymore. You don't see Miguel caring." Her best friend didn't care about Demetri trying to ruin Cobra Kai's reputation.

"Don't compare me to him. I can't compare you to Moon or Yasmine or any of those skinny bitches." He hated when she pointed to the golden boy of the dojo.

"Speaking of Moon, she broke up with us today over this." She hoped that would make him realize how wrong he was.

"So, I don't give a fuck about her. She was fuck toy that we got to share. I could get us another one just like her in a second if I wanted to." He rolled his eyes.

"You're acting like an asshole." She glares at her boyfriend.

"You make it seem like you're not into it." He let out a chuckle.

"Excuse me." She narrows her eyes.

"Look at all your favorite characters: Bakugo, Levi, Dabi, Vegeta, Chrollo, Grimmjow, fuck the list goes on and on. You like an assertive alpha and I like being one. That's nothing either of us has to be ashamed of." He grabs her chin to tilt her head back and kiss her.

"Those are just characters." She whispers against his lips.

"That shows your deepest desires. Life's too short to not give in to them." He kissed her harder.

She shoved him, making him take a few steps back in surprise. "You're wrong, those might be my favorite characters but in real life, I fell in love with Eli Moskowitz. The guy looked at me like I was a precious gem when he thought I wasn't looking. He would watch anime with me for hours because he wanted to be with me. He knew how to let small things go because he knew what was really important."

"You see that's where you got it wrong. He let things go because he was too weak to stand up for himself. Now I can look at you while you're looking at me. I still watch anime with you from time to time. So, don't make like Eli's better than who I am now. You might say you liked him so much but you weren't with me when I was him." He hovered over her in a display of dominance.

She wasn't about to let him intimate her. "Excuse me. I asked you to dance on Halloween. I kissed you to show you that your scar didn't make you ugly to me. You're the one that couldn't see past your self-pity to see me."

"How the fuck did we get from me beating up Demetri to this?" He thought they were in a good place.

"I don't know, but I know that I don't want to date a bully. I don't want to go out with someone who gets joy out of terrorizing newbies or kicking people when their backs are turned." She tears up at how he let all his hurt from being bullied over the years turn into anger. He was lashing out and becoming the very thing he hated. The thing that made him cry himself to sleep wishing for it to all end.

"I know you're not trying to break up with me right now." He hissed.

"So what if I am?" She glares through her tears.

"It ain't gonna happen. Me and you are forever." He took off his shirt to show off his new tattoo.

"That's the problem. You treat me like I'm a guarantee. I'm not. I don't have to take the shit that you're dishing out." She walks to her car.

"LEE! LEE! ¡PRESLEY! WE'RE NOT DONE! YOU HEAR ME! LEE!" He yelled at her back in rage.

"IF YOU DON'T WANT US TO BE DONE THEN ACT RIGHT!" She slammed the door as she got into her car.
