slaterâs note đŻ: hi! LAST PART, honestly thought it would go longer but iâm pretty sure this is it, if some of yâall want a fourth part, iâll take it into consideration :) but thank you guys
part one, part two, part three, part four
âi fucking hate you.â
words he could barely process before you used all the force built up in your body to shove eli, not caring where he ended up and certainly not what he would do to you next.
and you grinned drunkly, watching him topple backwards into moonâs heated pool, a fulfilled smile already on your face before you could even process the grip he had ahold of on your arm.
you let out a shriek once feeling the tips of your sneakers dip out into the edge of the pool, water soon wrapping around you like a cool blanket.
it had felt like you were under there forever, the heated pool, not so heated, with bubbles flying out from underneath you, but you had resurrfaced just as fast as you went under, the boy who had pulled you in already above the green colored pool from the effect of the LEDS, the side of his face absolutely enraged.
eli turned to you quickly, grabbing onto forearm, practically dragging you out of the pool and you had just wished the water that was soaked in your clothes would have dragged you down lower, you wish the water would have prevented you from moving at all.
the crowd of teens previously surrounding you and toryâs drink off now faced you and hawk, it being completely silent to the point that you could hear the sway of pools water sloping back and forth against the pool tile walls so clearly that it hurt your ears.
you searched for miguel while being roughly pulled away from the scene and right as you did, his eyes finding yours, you were swallowed deeper into the crowd of teens and then into moonâs home before you were in the driveway where less and less people begun to appear.
you had stopped pulling once you had went out the front door, content with how he was about to beat the shit out of you for embarrassing him. for embarrassing hawk.
eli shoved you into the passenger side door of his car before getting into the drivers seat after rounding the front of his nice red car that made you wonder where he found the money to afford it.
âwhat the fuck is your problem?â
you flinched and maybe you shouldnât have because his voice was rather unusually calm for someone who was soaking wet from being pushed into a pool.
he narrowed his brows at your strange reaction before flattening out into a blank expression once again, waiting for you to say something because now was your time.
âeli, i donât-â
âshut up,â he said quickly, âyou fucking humiliated me tonight for your own petty reasons, youâre giving me a reason as to why.â
an opportunity like this would never happen again, especially after tonight. and as much as you wanted to stay silent-
âspeak faster.â
-he was practically breathing down your neck with how inpatient he was at that moment.
âi hate the person youâve turned into,â you mumbled, forcing it out, avoiding his gaze that was so obviously set on you, consuming you, wanting you to look back at him.
just look.
âi hate the person youâve turned into, and i hate the way you ignore me so easily, and i hate the way you donât miss me, and i hate the way you act like you donât give a fuck, i hate the way that you walk around and kiss other girls like ours meant nothing to you, like i meant nothing to you,â tears dipped out of your eyes, sending gel like orbs of clear liquid down your cheeks, your voice now raised.
âi hate you, i hate you so fucking much!â
eli slowly closed his eyes, as if it would help shield himself away from your yelling, your drunken curses and cries that so easily slipped out of your mouth and into his ears.
âyou never cared about me, you never gave a fuck about me or demetri, and how could you? after all the fucking shit weâve been through?â
he clenched his jaw, opening his eyes back up, meeting the glossy shells of yours, anger filling and pouring in and out of every feature glued onto your face.
you hated the way he stared at you, you hated the way he looked so blank, like he didnât care, just like he never did. it hurt.
it hurt, it hurt, it hurt.
and you wanted to make him hurt.
âfuck you!â you smacked his chest, causing him to flinch back against the car door, âfuck you! you donât even care right now, do you? you never did.â
you smacked his chest again and again and again till he stopped flinching away, absorbing the blows against his chest.
you were drunk.
he had to repeat it in his head, you were drunk. you werenât sensible, you werenât able to piece it all together because you were drunk.
âyou stupid fucking boy,â you spat, your hits becoming harder and harder as you let the anger seep deeper into your pores, âtoo fucking insecure about his past that he has to make sure everything of it is eliminated. fuck you, fuck you and your stupid back tattoo.â
eli quickly grabbed onto your wrists quickly, forcing them over your head, pressing them against the passenger seat window. cold glass lightly touching your wrists as he held them their, tightly.
he was leaned over you, resisting a glare about to take over his stare, trying to hold the pointed and serious look instead. he didnât want you to see you had strucked a nerve, he just wanted you to calm down.
he was having a hard time himself staying in that aroma.
âyou done?â he raised his eyebrows, watching the tears dry on your cheeks while you still had bubbles of water glazed over your eyes, trying your best to hold it all back.
âfuck you.â
âyes, fuck me,â he whispered, âget over it, y/n.â
he paused, analyzing the position you were in before continuing, âpeople change, for better or for worse, they change.. so just accept it... you changed too.â
you swallowed, the amount of confrontation he had in that moment was overwhelming to your slowly sobering self, but you still were largely intoxicated, making you glare.
âokay, hawk,â you hissed, pushing against the strong hold he had on your wrists, and for that moment, he pressed harder against the glass, âiâm not the one who had to entirely change their personality just so my sensi would like me.â
âand iâm not the one who had to turn to alcohol just to cope with the fact that i had no more friends,â he shot back, completely unbothered from your words, even though it should have stung.
and it did for a second before he had to remind himself, you didnât mean it.
you were drunk. you were drunk. you were drunk. you were drunk.
âfuck you,â you repeated but this time it came out as a whine, you tried jerking forward but you made difference to his strong hold, âyouâre the reason i even started drinking in the first place, eli, you ruined me!â
his glare softened at your words, causing him to let go and pull away slowly back into the drivers seat, sitting properly.
âitâs not because i didnât have any friends, it was because of the one friend i didnât have,â you rubbed your wrists, âfucking you and your stupid ass.â
ây/n, i-â eli stopped mid phrase, his lips pressed into a thin line, trying to think of how he could phrase correctly with the weight suddenly pressed onto his chest, âi didnât know.â
âwhy would you?â you whispered, hurt soaking your voice, âyou never answered my calls, never showed up, never-â
âi shouldnât have ignored you,â he cut you off quickly not wanting to be reminded of all he did, his voice was so silent that you almost didnât hear it. âi shouldnât have done any of that to you.â
licking the inside of your cheek, you glanced over to him, hoping he wasnât looking at you, and he wasnât, he looked ahead straight into the dark sky, staring at the stars through his front windshield.
the stars.
they flickered and shone brightly, lighting up the sky like a lamp in a dark room. you swore you could see them move, rotating around like one of those mobiles that hung above young childrenâs heads, coaxing them to sleep.
dancing stars.
you let a small smile of a strange satisfaction take over your drunken state at the sight of the glowing stars, the corners of your cheeks arising and your eyes crinkling in the corners.
calm.
âiâm so sorry...â were the last words that you allowed to reach your ears, making your cheeks go red and your body go slack in content, the rest history as the car started with a hum and ended with the sound of exhaust, the stars following you all the way to the end, following two old friends to the end.

only the best for my best. louis partridge x reader
summary đŁ: in which louis and reader draw each other for a buzzfeed interview but he canât help but rally her up mid interview with an insultÂ
warnings đ«: very much unedited, cursing? nothing really, the insult isn't really an insult in the first place lol
slaterâs note đŻ: i love louis partridge (also comment to be added to my other louis works) and this is sort of inspired by this work here
ây/nây/n sheâs crazy, i have no idea how weâre friends.â
your mouth goes wide as your eyes connect to his through the camera, a sly smile on his face as he tried to suppress his little boy giggles of mischief.
âlouis partridge, keep your mouth shut,â you called out to him, shaking your head as that was when his laughs broke out.
âyou are, i swear,â he smiles, trying to hide the laughs again, âyou make some of most stupidest, most impulsive decisions i have ever seen. if someone told you to jump off a bridge you would do it, one hundred percent.â
your mouth widens once again, looking at him with absolute disbelief, âand who would be the one to tell me to jump off that bridge? you, so shut up, you imbecile.â
he laughed again watching you roll your eyes in new profound annoyance. he had come to a realization from the past month while doing online press, he could annoy you very easily. it didnât matter what exactly he said but he had found that accusing you of certain things would really set you off, such as impulsive, crazy, not very bright, anything that basically questioned your sanity and intelligence.Â
but he knew the next time he would see you, you would beat the absolute shit out of him for making a fool of you for all of the internet to see.
âhey, hey, itâs all jokes,â he said in between laughs, watching you glare at him through the screen.Â
yeah, you would really knock him to the ground.Â
âshut up,â you said again, finishing up your drawing; a task you had been given by the buzzfeed interviewer before louis had decided to throw you a curveball in conversation that he knew would piss you off.Â
you were supposed to be drawing each other and you would say you were doing pretty well until he called you crazy, and you started turning his normal facial features into something drastically different, making him look like a cartoonish boy.Â
âyou done with your drawing yet?â âyeah.â
âgo on now, show it off,â you motioned, your tone no longer amused, or enlightened, but a bit annoyed, and he could tell, that being the main reason as to why he couldnât stop smiling. âshow off the master piece, louis.â
âi donât know if i want to,â he mumbled, scratching the back of his neck, âiâm kind of nervous.â
âshut your trap,â you said quickly, âyou weren't nervous to question why you were friends with me or call me crazy.âÂ
âit was a joke, darling, you know that.âÂ
you were so close to flipping him off at the sound of darling, his attempt to lighten you up, but instead you pressed your lips into a thin line, ignoring him.Â
louis giggled again after a good amount of silence, âfine, iâll go first.âÂ
he flipped the small notebook around to reveal numerous pencil marks and scribbles on the white page that all came together in attempt to create a replica of your face.Â
a real good attempt.Â
you squinted, trying to get a good look at the drawing and you practically gasped, âwhy does that look good?âÂ
âall talent over here, baby,â he didn't skip a beat, raising his hands up in a cocky expression with a grin on his face, âonly the best for my best.â
your cheeks tinted red as you looked down at your lap, shaking your head. the fueled annoyance you had for him seconds ago beginning to slowly vanish out of thin air.Â
louis knew very well exactly how to fire you up just as well as make you nervous, the good kind of nervous where you got all flustered. your cheeks glowed red, and you'd fidget with your fingers, avoiding eye contact.Â
âlets see yours now.âÂ
âno.âÂ
âno?â he quirked his brow, âwhy?â
âbecause now i feel bad,â you mumbled, no longer caring for him calling you impulsive and crazy, âyou did real good on yours and i kinda.. didnât.â
he smiled sweetly, âi donât care, i just would like to see your perception of me.â
you rolled your eyes, turning your notebook around to face the camera, allowing the boy to see your very cartoonish drawing of him. and he laughed, his smile spreading wider across his cheeks.Â
âyouâre gonna mail that to me,â he mumbled, âiâll have my mum hang it right above the fire place.âÂ
you closed your notebook, pulling it away from the camera while your cheeks grew redder and redder as his flattering words flew through your ears, âoh shut it, it wasnât that good.â
âi still enjoyed it,â he reassured, âi mean itâs probably the best drawing iâve seen of myself by far.â
you smiled, humming, âonly the best for my best.â

comment to be added to future (louis) works :)
could you do a tory x robby fic. don't worry if you don't have time:)
our roots. robby keene x tory nichols
summary đŁ: in which tory is convinced her and robby are more similar than he thinks, so what happens when theyâre thrown into a situation that brings him back to his roots?
warning/s đ«: swearing, mentions of drinking and drugs, sexual themes but not smut
slaterâs note đŻ: i got so excited for this request, thank you for sending this in anon! anyways my inbox is open and if you prefer something else for them, shoot :)
"we know eachother robby," tory shrugged, "we know eachother a lot better than we think."
robby glanced over to tory for a short moment before looking away, his tongue poking the side of his cheek as he thought. he picked away at his fingers, his foot tapping at the ground.Â
it had been awhile since robby was stuck in the kind of situation he was in right then, and he didn't know how to feel.Â
he had only known tory for a couple of months. it was on and off at certain times, her showing up at random. he'd see her at parties, in the hallways at school, sometimes just around in public but never had he ever approached her, it was always her.
and that was how it had all started.
she had showed up at his dad's apartment at randomly, two forties in hand with a smug smirk on her face. he had stared at her absolutely dumbfounded, blinking a couple of time before she broke his surprised train of thought.Â
âso, you gonna let me in?â
he blinked again before moving rather fast.Â
"you're lucky my dad didn't answer the door," he had mumbled quietly, quickly closing the door after sliding out of the small apartment.
"what do you mean?" she faked pout, "i'm sure sensi lawerence would love to go on a bender with us."
"what're you doing here?"
he felt like he was on a personal attack, like she was blackmailing him for some odd reason by just showing up randomly on his front door.Â
robby hadn't gotten along with tory in the beginning, her constant unreasonable attacks on sam for no reason while also shitting on him for practically making an attempt to kill her ex boyfriend, miguel.Â
âyou know i donât drink.â
and yet she had somehow convinced him to go out on the northern heights to drink since no one she remotely liked was free or just hadn't wanted to drink with her at four in the afternoon.
that four in the afternoon had reached ten p.m. painfully fast, causing robby a great big headache as the forties went down fast and the other bottles of alcohol were pulled out from toryâs backseat, going down just as easy.Â
and now there they were in the middle of the LAPD police station sitting before the empty head of security desk. Â
he couldnât help but have regretted everything he had done that night, all the drinking, the laughing, and the reckless driving, and then the destruction property, the reason they got caught in the first place.Â
he had tory hop on his shoulders in attempt to pull off the âtowing after hoursâ sign screwed to a wooden pole. they were unsuccessful, ending in fits of giggles before hearing the familiar sound of the police sirens, causing them to sober up real fast.Â
robby hadn't felt that nervous in awhile, but it was like another saturday night for tory. she was relaxed, leaned back in the old rough plastic chairs she had sat in many many times.
"we're more alike than you think."
that rung through his ears, causing him to stop moving all his anxious limbs, his mouth slight agape as he chewed on the inside of his cheek.Â
he hated that she said that, he also hated the fact that it was true. tory reminded him a lot of his old self. the old self that used to do molly at school, used to drink a lot, get high, steal, scam, do drugs, anything that involved with social rebellion. you know, the âbasic teen actionsâ.
he used to be tory, so used to the chair that she now sat in to the point he was comfortable in it.Â
"yeah, but not anymore," he mumbled, glancing over to her, causing her to clench her jaw. she was hoping he would agree, she was hoping he'd reassure her that they were both unstable, that they were on the same level of impulsive and bold.Â
that they both had nothing to lose because they had already lost so much and they really were just living day by day.Â
but he denied her of all of that.
every since she had joined the cobra kai dojo, she had heard a lot about robby and how he was some cool asshole who took the term ârebellious teenâ to a whole other level. even through high school he was always somebody everyone talked about, whether it being about his shitty father or how much of a good fuck he was.
she found comfort in robby, like he was some super hero she read about in comics and saw in movies, someone she could look up to just because he had the same sob story as her.
but now tory rolled her eyes, sinking deeper into the plastic chair. apparently he isnât her superhero anymore.
the head of LAPD had let them go with a warning and robby had no idea how or why but by the way tory was silently smirking he knew she had to have had some connections.
they pair was escorted out to the lot where they held toryâs car, giving her the keys after driving it out into the main parking lot, leaving them alone in the cold crisp night air.
they both stared up at the sky for a decent amount of time, the stars shinning especially bright that night making tory slightly smile.Â
âyou canât leave your roots, robby,â tory said in truth, her head tilted back in competence, âyou always seem to end up back to where youâve began.â
she nodded to him in content, her lips pressed into a thin line as if that were to be the last time sheâd see him in awhile.
robby watched her walk off towards her old crappy car, his mind racing, âtory wait.â
and she stopped, not turning until she heard his footfalls get nearer to her. he was looking at the black tar filling in the crack of the old parking lot, steadily strolling towards her.
her watched him carefully, anticipating his next move, her skin rolling up and down into anxiousness. ïżŒ
he looked up, and it went fast, his hands reaching up to each side of her face, pressing his lips against hers.
she suppressed the gasp that wavered out in the back of her throat, her hands reaching out to grasp air before she settled for his arm, her fingers wrapping around his forearm, leaning into him.
his lips move in sync hers slowly as they fell into a cloud of lust that began to take over the both of their minds.
he pushed her back, toryâs back hitting up against the back of someoneâs car, her head tilting up in a gasp, diverting them both into a different position.
robbyâs lips reached down to her fair colored neck, his mouth beginning to press kisses and pull skin lightly between his teeth as he sucked onto her neck and along her collarbone.
her stomach began to tighten, causing her to gasp for air, chest sinking up and down as he continued on, his hands roaming all over her body, gripping, grasping, and pulling against her clothes and body.
ârobby,â her voice came out in a low whine, different from the usual tone, stern, hard, and snarky, but now weak and desperate, making him groan, his lips going back to hers.
âyou want to do this?â his voice rough, waving onto her lips making her stomach tie up even more, âright now?â
and tory grinned, her face ducking away from his, making sure she could see the smirk on her face, âyou know i do.â
old friends, part two. eli moskowitz x reader
summary đŁ: in which two old friends reunite but it doesnât end how the reader had hoped.
warning/s đ«: swearing, small amount of violence, drinking and drug use, and sort of manipulation i guess, depends how you take it
slaterâs note đŻ: unedited and thank you for the support on part one, also comment if you want to be on the tag list đ
part one, part ïżŒtwo, part three, part four
âwoah hey, letâs settle down here,â miguel had shoved his way between the two of you quite dramatically, pressing his hands against both your chests, using most of his force on eli when pushing you two away from eachother.
he had thought the boy with angry red hair would bite your head off right then.
hawk had a new found reputation that he couldnât ruin, not for demetri, not for you, not for anyone.
you had thought about that moment a lot, how close you two were to eachother, his chest almost touching yours as his eyes sunk into yours, eating away at all dignity and hope you had right in that moment.
it just all disappeared.
âmoonâs throwing a party friday night, and i need someone to drive me,â miguel didnât look at you as he kept on scribbling down notes for the lab currently taking place right in front of you.
you paused with your own work, looking over to him. you had your eyebrows raised with a grim light smile on your face. it was barely there, the smile, but the dimples on your cheeks indicated it was.
it had been a week after actually talking to eli for the first time over a long past couple of months and you had barely found yourself smiling, everything just dead and the only thing filling your mind was him.
you only found the ability to concentrate when with miguel and his presence because he actually talked and tried to get you to talk, unlike demetri who really didnât mind the silence but somehow found ways to make it awkward for no reason.
âyou need a designated driver, donât you?â
âthat and i still donât have my lisences,â he nodded shamelessly, setting down the pencil he was writing with, âand i want you to come.â
âoh you do, do you?â
âyeah, itâll be good for you, maybe get a couple of guysâ numbers,â he tried to play it off but still somehow got trapped in his web by the change of tone in his voice. light, squeaky, almost high enough for a voice crack.
he just couldnât pull off trying to set you up with some guy without it seeming related to eli... and getting over eli. it never worked because both of your minds went in that direction.
âno, bad idea.â
âcâmon, y/n, you havenât a boyfriend in what? twenty years?â he joked.
âi havenât had a boyfriend since sixth grade... and that was sixth grade so it doesnât really count.â
miguel rolled his eyes before looking back at you seriously, âi for real need a dd and i donât want to ask sam because-â
âyeah, whatever, iâll still drive you, iâm just not going to stay for long,â you waved him off before coming to a realization, âwhat about tory?â
âshe canât drive either.â
âthatâs the stupidest shit iâve ever heard-â
âmiguel, i need to talk to you.â
youâre cut off mid eye roll, hawk standing before your lab table, looking straight at miguel.
but the boy staring at miguel looked more like eli then hawk, his whole guard looking weak, shoulders hunched, while he tapped his fingers in the air by his side. hawk looked nervous.
he wouldnât look at you, making you swallowing roughly, your heart squeezing in pain.
look at me.
just look at me, please, just look.
he didnât, so you gave up, glancing to miguel who looked back to you, the same confused expression on his face as he was scooting off the stool he was sitting on, nodding.
you watched them walk away from your lab table, towards the door that led to the hall, your bio chemistry teacher not even caring, but you caring very very much.
°âą
friday arrived faster then you originally thought it would. the los angeles valley air not wavering one bit as it stayed cool and calm, just perfect for a party, especially at moonâs house with her heated pool and multi colored LED light hottub.
and just liked promised, you drove miguel to the party with the exception of demetri and tory... who could in fact not drive.
âhey, youâre not staying?â demetri leaned a little through the rolled down window of your classic purple jeep, his eyebrow quirked in a little confusion.
if you were being honest, you werenât sure why demetri was staying himself. you werenât the only one trying to mend a relationship with eli, but at least when you did it, it hadnât included public embarrassment but demetri kept on trying and trying, getting no where. and he just wasnât a party person in general.
you werenât sure how he kept up.
âiâm probably just gonna go home and watch some movies,â you nodded, trying to convince yourself thatâd be much more fun then staying at the already tempting looking party, â...yeah, but donât worry, iâll be back around 12 to pick you guys up.â
his lips were pressed in a flat line of disappointment as he was trying to think your plan over, he shook his head but before he could argue someone beat him to it.
ây/n, get out of the fucking car!â
a large man was hauling himself up the driveway of moonâs home, marching his way towards your car, a very frustrated expression filling his features, all huffy and red.
miguel hopped behind him, trying to keep up with him with a very amused expression, grinning over to you innocently.
this was the only way to get you to stay.
the only way was to force you and the only person who would fully have the ability to force you was stingray.
otherwise known as raymond, a middle aged man who lived with his mother and took karate at cobra kai dojo with a bunch of high schoolers and took no shame because of it.
and miguel knew this, thatâs why he had gotten out of the car quickly and raymond was the first person he went to once he entered the very nice home.
the older man already had your car door open and ahold of your upper arm before you could even process anything, a very persistent expression on his face, making it very noticeable that he had a plan.
no one could stop him.
âyou really thought you could stop by without saying hi to me?â he scolded you, still tightly holding your upper arm way above your height as he was dragging you into the home.
you glared at miguel as stingray continued to lecture you about how rude it was of you to not even come inside. he only grinned back at you, an innocent twinge mixed in it, but so so obviously guilty.
the house already smelt of alcohol and a hint of weed. the blaring of music really pulled it all together as people bumped their heads to the bass beat, some goofily swinging around to it.
it had been awhile.
you had done a lot of drinking and partying during the summer before school started. you lived so freely during that time but that freedom had ended you up in a cage.
a cage you werenât even aware you were in until too late.
while your friends had all scampered off to karate, training themselves into a healthy routine, you fell into an unhealthy one.
it took a lot to pull you out of it, something that involved the authorities but you stopped and learned better.
the smell was only just the beginning, you knew once you had enter that home, you were screwed, it would lead to a little ïżŒdrinking that would turn into a lot of drinking, that would turn into trouble.
you just had to keep in control.
âyou okay?â
âyeah, fine.â
âyou donât look fine.â
âyouâre right, i lied. iâm perfect.â
miguel quirked his eyebrow at you while staring at the side of your face, your eyes trained on something he couldnât figure out what.
you couldnât yourself.
âiâm sorry for dragging you here, probably wasnât a good idea now that i think about it...â he gives up looking at you, expecting you to look back.
âitâs fine.â
âwill you actually be fine?â
âyep.â
âsure.â
lie.
he didnât know that, if he did, he probably wouldnât have left you alone with a free for all options of alcohol and drugs.
you were on it fast once he went outside, looking for tory. you poured a can of beer into a red solo cup, disguising the obvious bad habit that everyone knew you had, that everyone would try to stop you from falling back into.
itâs just... the person youâd least except to do so, would be the first one to catch you.
you had to be at least five beers down, no longer hiding the fact that you were drinking. you began hitting the heavy stuff, pouring yourself a glass a vodka with sprite for a mixer.
âshould you be doing that?â his voice sound behind you, not even shocking you for you were too buzzed to be bothered by anything at that moment, even eli.
you finished pouring the sprite in the cup before turning around, shrugging, âdoesnât matter.â
âyour miguelâs dd, arenât you?â
âyeah, whoâs yours?â
âmyself.â
you scoffed, not looking to him until then, your facial features scrunched up in confusion, âsince when can you drive, eli?â
he cringed at his name and the way you said it. wrapped with so much disgust and annoyance that he would rather have you âhawkâ even thought itâd be worse on your tongue.
but at least it wouldnât be his name.
âi got my license this summer while you were out getting wasted at strangers homes.â
it stung, so you took a drink from the plastic cup. the drink flowed so easily and so swiftly down your throat as he stared at you with an almost sadden expression, almost.
âyouâre fucking stupid,â he spat, trying to remove any sympathy he had for you, âafter all you put yourself through, after all you put miguel through, and demetri through, and sam through, youâre really going to start doing the thing that kept your parents up at night again?â
after all you put me through, keeping me up at night. i hate you for that, y/n.
hurt, drink, swallow, ingest.
settle, think, ignore.
âwhat do you think miguelâs gonna think when he walks through that sliding glass door? do you really want to embarrass yourself like that? after all that happened, after all the trust you had to earn back, you really want to do that again?â
drink, ignore.
he could see that his words werenât going through. eli clenched his jaw, took a few steps closer to you.
âdo you really want to be doing this, y/n?â he was now leaned in close to you, his mouth close to your cheek as he begun whispering, âyou just got your lisense back, you just got everything back.â
drink.
âdonât be stupid,â he finally said, walking away after awhile of silence, letting it settle into your brain while you gripped the solo cup tightly.
his words flew through one ear and out the other because not even half an hour later you found yourself standing with one foot on a stool in a drinking competition against tory, another big drinker of the valley who you had bonded with over the summer even through her busy schedule of karate, working two jobs, and just general personal time.
she found balance and you could never find out how.
you could never find balance.
miguel stared up at you uneasily while you easily downed a shot of whatever they put in the little green plastic cup.
he knew this was his fault and began to regret making stingray drag you into the party instead of letting you go in peace.
he could have found another dd if you hadnât come back even as you said you would, but it wouldâve been fine if you didnât, he hadnât even drunk that much, not as much as you.
you knew your limits, and he pushed them.
eli stood on the porch, twenty feet away from where the scene took place with his arms crossed, a crowd of teens surrounding you and tory, cheering you on and he just knew it was so wrong.
a lot of people saw you spiral and if not, they sure heard about it and yet here they were still cheering you on into something that could so easily kill you.
you threw your fifth shot down, a grin on your face, âbeat that, nichols.â
âiâm planning on it, y/l/n,â she smiled back at you, reaching out her hand for another product of alcohol, ârobby, next cup.â
the boy stared up at her, uneasiness in his face, keeping his arms crossed. robby keene didnât drink, he didnât like watching people drink, especially two girls who didnât know when to call it quits.
âkeene, beer me,â she growled, but he still stared up at her, a disapproving look hidden in his features.
âi got you tory!â stingray hustled from the crowd after robby once again denied her, completely dismissive to the two forties taped on both his hands.
he had knocked tory from the stool real fast for anyone to process and onto her back as rushing to her aid for beer. it caused a ricochet of cheers as a winner was finally presented after ten minutes of too painful to watch drinking.
âhell yeah!â you were handed a clear bottle of vodka, making you chug the clear liquid, a burning sensation no longer present like before when you had taken a sip for the first time in months.
ây/n, letâs get you down,â miguel reached up, causing your face to screw up in anger and confusion.
âno way, letâs go again.â
âitâs getting late,â robby mumbled, trying to help, but his eyes were anywhere but yours and miguelâs, like he was embarrassed to say something.
âyeah, y/n, your my designated driver, remember? you have to drive me home,â he hoped you would fall for it, he hoped you would get down from the stool and put down the bottle.
âno, youâre going to need to find someone else,â you mumbled, looking out into the now busy crowd that was no longer focused on you, âiâm too fucked.â
at least you were aware.
ây/n, just get down from the stool,â sam spoke for the first time, her concern reaching your ears making your face screw up even more, looking down away from the crowd and to your four friends.
âno-â
you hiccuped, falling to the ground from the stool tipping, eli standing right next to it, his hands dug into his sweatpants pockets.
he had swung his leg from right underneath the wooden stool that was already unstable from you slightly swaying.
âhey, what the fuck!â silence filled the air after your words had come out with no hesitation, looks of shock were directed to the boy, taken back by his move.
âyouâre welcome,â he gave miguel a pointed look before walking away like nothing, hands still tucked in his pockets.
he was too relaxed, it angered you and you wanted to anger him just like he did to you everytime he had ever ignored your text, your calls, everytime he ignored your yells of his name in the hall, everytime he would ignore your questions directed towards him. every. single. fucking. time.
you wanted to hurt him, like he hurt you.
so without much more thought, you got up quickly, rushing towards him before anyone could stop you and shoving him roughly.

friends with benefits, part one. robby keene x reader
summary đŁ: ïżŒin which reader asks robby for an unbelievable favor with the promise of benifits, just what kind? this so called date? turns out to be a week long vacation and reader has no idea how to tell robby.
warning/s đ«: swearing i think
slaterâs note đŻ: this is an au where robby and johnny have a healthy father-son relationship and this is a little after their senior year, or like maybe theyâre still seniors, i havenât decided. all the cobra kai/myagi ïżŒdoe feud stuff is way in the past. anyways iâm so excited for this series :)
prologue, part one,
âthere is no way iâm wearing that.â
you frowned, glancing down at the very colorful and flowery shirt, not exactly seeing the problem johnny had with it.
âcâmon, my parents will eat this stuff up,â you whined causing him to shake his head, looking back down at the clearance rack full of nice dress shirts.
âyeah, well iâm not the one youâre engaged to,â you could hear miguelâs light laugher a couple racks down from the two of you as johnny eyed you with a look of deception.
you scowled at him, putting the shirt back onto the silver metal rack, your eyes not breaking from his.
he shrugged you off, pulling out a green short sleeved button up with white patterns going up the front. he examined it very thoughtfully before nodding in approval, lifting it up to show you.
âyou think your parents would approve of this?â
you glanced at the very tacky shirt, suppressing a grin.
âsure,â you shrugged, âif you were going bowling with them.â
johnny mumbled a âwhateverâ before shoving the fabric back in with the rest of many just like it. he leant against the clothes rack then, crossing his arms, giving a few things some thoughts.
it was silent, the only thing to be heard were the shuffling between clothes, metal scratching against metal as you would pull the hanger from the bar.
you hadnât really acknowledged nor noticed the thoughtful staring johnny had on you before he cleared his throat while rubbing his chin.
âwould you actually get engaged to my son?â he asked, genuine curiosity in his voice, âlike marry him and do all that committed crap?â
you smiled lightly at his words, shaking your head mindlessly while still shuffling through the clothes.
âof course she would,â miguel smiled, throwing a couple of shirts and shorts into the cart by you, âsheâs in love with robby, sensi.â
you rolled your eyes, smacking his arm as he grinned at you innocently.
miguel had been your best friend ever since he had started at west valley high. he wasnât someone hard to make friends with, a big dork with a huge heart and surprisingly good karate skills.
he had roped you into cobra kai, strengthening not only your relationship but as well as with many other kids that went to west valley high.
and then johnny lawerence, as inappropriate as it was, you could consider him one of your best friends, hence why he was shopping for clothes in one of the thrift stores in down town L.A. called salamanderâs second hand store, preparing for an oncoming vacation. the vacation where you were to introduce your fiancĂ©e to the rest of your family, or more importantly, your grandmother.
robby wasnât exactly aware of the date you had asked him on was actually a yearly week family vacation at the bahamas... and that his father was coming.. and so was miguel.
miguel had always came on the y/l/n family vacations ever since your mother fell in love with his sweet persona and protective manner on you.
however johnny lawrence was never a regular, the only reason he was coming was due to your parents have never met your former sensi and new father-in-law.
it was a whole scheme, one that took a lot of convincing, but once the simple word free was mentioned, he was all 100% invested.
âyouâre really in love with my son?â
âno,â you sneered quickly with red cheeks that said otherwise.
a smile soon consumed johnnyâs face, a sly smile that came with his accusing pointer finger, âi knew it.â
âno you didnât.â
âyes i did,â he said, âi knew you two were more then just friends, especially after you invited him over miguel to that stupid concert.â
miguelâs eyes went wide, turning to your direction fast, âthatâs who you took?â he practically yelled, his cheeks flush with no longer amusement but slight anger.
âi thought you said your dad was a die hard fan of them, so you just had to take him instead of me,â johnny gave you a yikes face, as if not knowing miguel hadnât known.
you glared at johnny before giving miguel a sympathetic look, âiâm sorry, i had to score robby points, he wrapped his arm around me, man.â
miguel rolled his eyes after letting out a loud huff, deciding that was it.
ârobby points, psh,â johnny rolled his eyes, âjust feed him and give him a little attention and youâll be set for life.â
âwhatever, i just need to figure out how to tell him this date is actually a week vacation with not only my family but his father,â you brushed off the robby points talk, licking your bottom lip in thought, âheâll kill me.â
ânah, youâre the main source of his food,â johnny mumbled, âyou canât bite the hand that feeds you.â
miguel glanced at you, sharing the same look you had on your face of confusion at all the feeding talk, but the two of you shrugged it off just as soon as johnny did.
âanyways, i need a shirt if i want to impress your parents, and the only ones iâve found so far are too fruity,â he patted the cart full of the clothes you and miguel had found for yourselves, âletâs ring this shit up and head to a different store, preferably one that doesnât have the word âsalamanderâ in it.â
°âą
âhey, whereâve you been?â
you froze in the kitchen doorway, completely oblivious to robbyâs presence, until then with a spoon between his lips, melted ice cream slightly dribbling down his lip.
your eyes went back to normal from their widened expression seconds before, setting the shopping bags down on the large counter of your parents kitchen.
âuh, shopping?â
âshopping? with who?â
â... miguel...â
he nodded, setting the spoon down, still eyeing you curiously yet steadily.
âwhenâd you come over?â
âhalf an hour ago,â he said, âyour mom just said to relax.â
you nodded, still tense in your spine as you were slightly trying to ignore his eye contact.
awkward silence seemed to have settled over the two of you faster than you had planned for, his curious stare began to interrogating you, his eyes squinting, staring at you harder.
âwhatâs in the bags?â robby said calmly, the words coming out of his mouth smoothly, something that was all too familiar.
he was about to trap you. first he would start out with a planned question, then hit you with the big stuff if you hadnât revealed what he wanted to know by then.
âclothes.â
âfor what.â
âa vacation.â
âthere it is.â
he hummed, nodding his head with a slight smirk which had caused you to meet his eyes in curiosity as to what he met.
âwhat vacation, y/n?â
he was going to keep playing into it.
detective robby.
âthe one next week.â
âthis wouldnât happen to be the one where my fatherâs coming, is it?â
âhowâd you know,â your brows were furrowed in slight confusion.
âyour mom.â
âof course.â
âwhy didnât you tell me?â
âwhich part?â
âeither one would have worked.â
you nodded, hopping onto the counter next to the thrift store paper bags, your legs beginning to swing back and forth as he leaned on the opposite counter.
âthought you would have cancelled on me if you would have figured out this date is actually a vacation,â you mumbled, not meeting his eyes.
âwhen were you planning on telling me?â
âprobably when we were actually on the plane, taking off.â
âthatâs pretty solid.â
âit was either that or when we wouldâve actually landed.â
he nodded, his arms crossed making his muscles bulge from underneath the grey workout shirt he wore.
âhowâd you convince my dad?â
âi said âall costs coveredâ and suddenly he was all for us getting married.â
robby chuckled, nodding, âof course, good oleâ johnny lawrence loves the sound of free beer and babes.â
you laughed lightly along with him, tapping your fingers against the marble counter top, any nerve racking feeling vanished from the center of your brain.
you shouldâve known he wouldnât have been as bothered as you predicted. in all honestly robby would do anything for you, he loved and cared about you, so if he had to take it to a whole other level where the love meant something else, he would do it, just so you were happy.
âyouâre my best friend, you know that right?â he mumbled, glancing up at you, just almost shying away from your stare.
he didnât do that.
he didnât get all sentimental, showing he cared, showing pda. sure he put his arm around you at that concert but that was it, nothing else. he barely let you hug him, let alone speak the words âi love youâ.
this was big, but you tried your best not to let the surprisal feeling take over your facial features, only allowing a small smile to overcome your lips.
âi know, robby.â
âgood.â

If you arenât busy, could you write the cobra Kai boyâs reaction to their s/o singing
cobra kai boys reaction to their s/o singing.
summary đŁ: cobra kai boys had no idea you could sing, taking them by absolute shock when you do
warning/s đ«: swearing
slaterâs note đŻ: please send me more of these, absolutely love making them :) this is also a little short so iâm sorry about it
robby keene:
âȘ a big grin fills his face when he hears you singing in the shower
âȘ you guys had planned on going on a double date with sam and miguel (which yes, an odd choice) and he had decided to show up early to pick you up
âȘ he had had heard the shower running so he just took a seat on your bed, scrolling through his phone until he heard your voice
âȘ it took him by surprise and at first he didnât realize it was you until he focused, realizing it was coming from your bathroom
âȘ and when your done showering and come out of your bathroom to find him sitting on your bed staring right at you, you jump a little by surprise
âȘ you had never seen him smile so widely as he got up and played with a string of your wet hair
âȘ âyour voice is so prettyâ
miguel diaz:
âȘ he literally falls in love with you even more than before
âȘ at first your just humming to the song on the radio as you guys are driving around until it turns into persistent low singing
âȘ he canât keep his eyes on the road, glancing at you non-stop until you ask âwhatâ
âȘ âyour voice is so pretty, y/nâ
âȘ you cheeks glow red not really realizing you were singing loud enough for him to hear it
âȘ âi mean it, itâs so good, i didnât you could do that.â
âȘ youâll laugh more an embarrassed one saying âitâs no big dealâ but heâll continue to praise you, squeezing your hand in reassurance and that he really do mean it
eli moskowitz:
âȘ heâs so surprised that he ends up being a little rude about it
âȘ you guys will be doing homework, sitting across from eachother and youâll be sing a song thatâs been stuck in your head all day
âȘ and heâll look up as, his eyebrows narrowing just staring at you for awhile before saying, âsince when can you sing?â
âȘ it comes out rude when he means it as a genuine question, staring at you intensely and you kind of shy way shrugging
âȘ âoh, nothing, itâs just this song has been stuck in my head all dayâ
âȘ and youâll go back to your homework, embarrassed, your singing stopped while he just continues to stare at you, confused, not knowing why he didnât know you could sing good
âȘ âyou should sing more oftenâ
