After Daniel win the first round, Ma come down to support Daniel by his side before getting pulled away by the referee.
I quickly link my arm around Mr Miyagi when the referee about to guide me as well.
"He can't walk on his own" I said to referee giving him a fake smile.
The referee nod and went away. I release a deep breath when the referee walks away and unlinks my arm from Mr Miyagi as he stares at me disappointed.
"Come on, I don't want to watch the fight from the bench. It sucks" I said to Mr Miyagi who shake his head.
we watch as Bobby fight with his opponent aggressively.
"You're history,man. You're dead." Bobby yells as the referee pulls the two away.
"I didn't know he could fight that aggressive" I said to Daniel. "He seems like he couldn't hurt anyone"
Daniel look at me raising his eyebrows. "Oh, yeah. You fall off a cliff because of them. Sorry,forgot." I pat him on his shoulder lightly giving him a thin smile.
Bobby ended up winning the round with a roundhouse kick.(edited)
"You think you can do that kick,Daniel?" I challenge him. "Shut up,Y/n" He smack my shoulder.
I roll my eyes at him as Johnny step inside the ring next. Johnny wins a point after kicking his opponent on the head.
"That's gotta hurt" I thought to myself.
It's finally Daniel's turn to fight a cobra. I continue watching as a presence appears behind me silently nudging me on my waist.
I looked behind and saw Tommy put his finger on his lips.
I roll my eyes and keep watching Daniel fight. Daniel wins against a cobra and that's my chance to tease Tommy as he's in Cobra Kai.
"You guys suck" I mouth him and stick my tongue out.
He rolls his eyes while smiling as I keep teasing him before walking away to the other ring while the cobra's watch Johnny fought another guy.
We watched as Darryl Vidal fight a cobra and win easily. Tommy stands beside me playing with my fingers as he focuses on the fight.
"He's kinda cute" I whisper to him teasingly which makes him spin his head to look at me in shocked and jealousy.
"No, he's not. Now, shut up. You're mine" he said back putting his arm around me tightly.
"I'm joking" I laugh at his jealousy.
It's finally Tommy and Daniel fight which makes me pretty nervous since Tommy is pretty aggressive when it comes to karate.
I bit my fingernails as I watch them fight. Tommy gets one point after punching Daniel on his side.
They both went back to their place and into their position. I look at Tommy who's clenching his jaw.
Tommy goes to attack Daniel but ends up getting punch on his stomach. He yells out in frustration as he loses from Daniel.
I clap my hands for Daniel but still keep my eyes on Tommy who grips his hair and shakes his hair disappointed in himself.
"Winner" the referee announced raising Daniel's hand.
I saw Tommy glaring at him as Daniel passed by him before walking away.
"I'll be back" I told Ali before following Tommy.
I walk around the hallway looking for Tommy before seeing him entering the changing room while slamming the door.
I looked around before entering the changing room silently and locked the door.
I saw him sitting on the bench with his head in his hand.
"Hey, you're okay?" I put my hand around his neck from behind while softly rubbing his biceps to comfort him. "You did great out there, you know. I'm proud of you." I whispered in his ear,giving him a kiss on his temple.
He stays silent as he leans into my chest for comfort. We stay like that which feels like hours but actually only 3 minutes.
"What's wrong,baby? What's going inside your head?" I ask lifting his chin to look at me.
"I just feel disappointed in myself" he grips my hands tightly. "I want to prove to sensei that I can be as good as Johnny. But when I lost to Daniel , I knew it was never gonna happen. I could never be better like Johnny. Johnny is basically Sensei's favourite. You could say he's like a teacher's pet." He let out a laugh while still playing with my fingers as I leaned my head on his shoulder as I kept listening to him.
"I just want to be good at something. To be honest with you, I've always been jealous of Johnny and Bobby. Bobby is also Sensei's favourite at some point. They're always the ones who get praised by Sensei. Sensei never bat his eyes on me. Why can't I just be good at something? Am I really that bad?" He said as he let the tears out.
"You shouldn't feel like that with yourself. Even if you didn't win the karate tournament as the champion, at least you have already tried your best. That's all that matters. If you are not good at karate, maybe you're good in any other activities.For example, football.I mean you're good at football, Imagine if you participate in a football tournament. Maybe one day, you'll become a football champion. Who knows. Don't doubt yourself too much,okay?" I wipe his tears as he chuckles leaning his head on my hand.
"Have I told you how much I love you?"
"A lot of times actually"
"Well, I'm gonna say it again. I love you, Y/n. You're the best thing that have happens in my life. I'm glad I get to meet you" he confesses putting his hand on my cheek looking at me adoringly.
"I love you too, Tommy. Even though how annoying you are when you bullied my brother, I'm glad I met you too."
He leaned forward and put his lips on mine caressing my cheek as he pulls me closer. I put my hands around his neck as he slither one of his hand on my waist pulling me to sit on his lap.
I lean my forehead on his after pulling away breathing heavily. We stare into each other eyes silently as we tries to take a breath.
Tommy pulls me in for a hug snuggling his face on my neck pulling me closer by my waist. We stays like that for 5 minutes giving each other warmth.
"Come on, we still have a tournament going on outside." I pat his shoulder.
He shake his head snuggling his head deeper into my neck. "Can't we just stay like this until the tournament end?"
"No, Daniel is still fighting. I have to give support to my brother. Now, come on." I got off his lap and pull his hand to stand up.
"Noo" he whines.
"Come on, you big baby" I keep pulling his hand until he stand up straight.
He groans as he stand up. I pull him towards the main hall where the tournament held before stopping at the door.
"There they are" I pointed towards the cobra's.
"Why can't I just stay with you?"he look at me with puppy dog eyes pouting.
"You know why. Now, go. I'll see you later." I give him a kiss before making my to Ali, looking back to see Tommy walk back towards his team lazily.
I chuckle as I sat beside Ali. "What took you so long? what happened?"
"It's nothing" I don't want to tell Ali about Tommy's problem since it isn't my right to tell her. "How's it going? Who wins?" I change the subject to avoid talking about Tommy.
"Daniel won against Dutch. Gosh, I hate that guy so much. He acts so arrogant." Ali complains.
"Who really like Dutch? I don't think a lot of people like him with how he acts. He needs to control his anger issues"
Ali nod. "Daniel gets to fight in the semifinals."
"Good for him. If you talk to Daniel who just moved from New Jersey that he gets to fight in the semifinals in Karate. I'm sure he's gonna laugh." I laugh before stopping. "Nah, he would be way too proud of himself. Even the first day we moved here, he lied to our neighbour that he can do karate. When at the end, he got beat up by Johnny just to save your radio"
Ali laughs as she remembers what happened on our first day here. "Now that I look back, it was kinda embarrassing"
"I know" We laugh and joke around until the next fight begins.
