season two

episode three, fire and ice.

NEVER AGAIN was this man going to get what he wanted in life.

It was way too late for Thomas, he lost his best friend, part of him lost Miguel. Every inch of his body ached with heartache, he and Diaz still talked but that night was never ever mentioned. His depression has gotten better? Kinda. A few weeks ago he made more slashes on himself, those were on his thighs and once he found out what he did he immediately stopped.

He didn't like cutting.

You might think, he likes it. No, he doesn't. Every time he did it he felt weak and a pussy, he felt like he hurt himself for attention. Every single time it was always regret, part of him wanted to go and tell his father how much he hated it but part of him wanted to shut up.

But, since then Thomas has been flicking rubber hands on himself. It was working, perfectly. The teenager was currently staring at his food, moving it around with the fork. "Aren't you gonna eat, honey?" Amanda questions as she pets her sons hair. "Not really hungry mom.." He sighed.

He hasn't eaten in two days.

He wanted to eat, but he never ever gotten the motivation.  Thomas felt like eating was wrong. "I'm off to karate with dad." Sam spoke as she comes in, grabbing an apple. "All right, have fun." She smiled. Oh yeah, Daniel opened his own karate dojo.

Did he hate it? No. Only part he hated was that Daniel was now spending more time with Samantha all summer long. But, Thomas was gonna speak on it since of course his parents were gonna take him out of therapy in a few weeks. He guessed all the fake smiling finally payed off.

Oh and Olivia fucking joined Cobrai Kai.

Why? He didn't know, the two haven't talked since that night. But, he knew that he was never getting the ginger back. Of course, it ached on how much he missed her but it's not like she'll care. "Can I...take a walk?" Thomas questions. "Uh...sure, don't go too far."

With that, he walked away the farthest he could. Every-time he spent outside in the morning it was peaceful to him, it made him feel like nothing could hurt him. There he was, watching the view as he listened to some stupid playlist.

Thomas jumps as he sees a person next to him, "Sorry! I didn't mean to scare you." The boy apologies. He takes his headphones out, putting them in his pockets. "Your fine." He chuckled softly. "I'm uh...I'm Caleb." He introduces. "Thomas." Tom smiles softly. "Where are your parents?"

"Dads in fairytale land, moms at home sleeping probably. Yours?" He questioned. "Dads at work." Caleb answered simply. "What school do you go to? I've never seen you around." Tom questioned. "Oh, I go to this highschool in the surbans." He replies which Tom nods. "Different schools." He chuckled. Suddenly, his phone rang.

Answering it, it was his father. "Dad?" Thomas sighs. "Hey, do you maybe wanna come to the dojo? I can give you some lessons or something." He recommends. The teen never liked karate and Daniel knew that. But, he wasn't like Anthony who was a spoiled brat and stuff. "Uh...it's fine dad, I was actually about to head home but uh...have fun with your daughter and second son now bye." He says quickly before hanging up.

"You okay?" Caleb questions, "Yeah, hey can I get your number?" Thomas hands him his phone. "Sure!" He exclaimed with a smile as he puts his number in. Handing him back his phone, Thomas waves and says goodbye before walking back home which was a pain in the ass.

...

TODAY, Olivia enters the beach with Moon. They are gonna all hang out. Miguel invited Thomas but, Oli didn't even know. Moon convinced her to wear a two piece bikini and honestly Olivia felt so weird wearing it. Although, it was her favorite green color so it suited her you could say. As she walked in, Demetri instantly stared at her in awe.

Demetri literally noticed how even more perfect she was. He'd get easily distracted every-time they played volleyball, he raises the ball up again and hits it weakly. Oli rolled her eyes at him with a groan. "Uh...Mulligan, send it back."

"There's no mulligans in volleyball." Hawk corrected. "Says you." He mutters as he walks over to get a towel, "Water break." He rubs on the towel on his face. "Cobrai Kai? You guys won that tournament, right?" A girl stops and asks. Oli puts her dark green cap back on while eyeing the two girls.

"Um....The All Valley? The Rumble in Reseda? Yes, uh..." He leans on the volleyball racket. "We, uh...we certainly did." Demetri lied making Oli rolls her eyes at the fact he was flirting with the girls you could say. Through all these months she turned her pain and heartbreak over him into sarcasm and anger.

"We're gonna go for a swim, but maybe play with you later?" The girl smiles. "You and your little besties can get the fuck away." Olivia interrupts. The two of them make a sad face before leaving quickly, "Jesus, what was that about? I was making my move!" Demetri exclaims at Olivia. "By lying to two stupid bitches, their gonna leave you once they find out you DONT do karate you idiot!" She argued with her arms crossed.

"What if they think I'm cute?" He defends, scanning her up and down. "Please, you look like a stupid twerp." She scoffs. Truth was, Oli was only mad because she wanted him still but she knew that Demetri was completely over her no matter what. "Excuse me? At least my hair isn't the color of a pumpkins butt!" He exclaims at her.

"Demetri I swear to god if you don't shut up- what? what are you gonna? OLIVIA!" He crosses his arms, staring at the redhead who took her cap off and shoved it towards Hawk. Olivia goes up and kicks him in the groin, making him fall down. "I-what? I-" Demetri says confusingly with a groan. "What's up with you two?" Moon asked.

"He's a little small dick, and a lair." She responds as he got up. "In my defense, they came up to me." Demetri shrugs making Olivia raise her hand, he flinched and Oli walked away to the bathrooms as Thomas and a angry looking Miguel came.

"Hey, there's the mans." Hawk chuckles as the three do a handshake. "No. No more of this." He spoke as he notices Miguel's expression. "Look, it's a beautiful day out. The beach is packed with babes. No more sulking about Sam." Hawk explains. "I'm not sulking about Sam. It's about Sensei." Miguel argued.

"Is this about the rap sheet? My parents read it online. I think it makes him more badass." He asks making Thomas laugh. "It's about him and Robby Keene." Thomas eyes Miguel. "What about Robby?" He questions. Miguel looks over at Tom, "Did you know he's our Sensei's son?"

"No.." Thomas shrugged, "I don't really...engage with him? I don't know." He chuckled. "You guys have sleepovers every night?" Hawk teases. "Sometimes." Thomas smirked. Miguel instantly got jealous but like then Robby probably wasn't even gay. He then took his shirt off, since it was getting hot.

Thomas eyed Miguel's body, he wasn't that scrawny. The teen was actually right in the middle which was perfect. Hawk didn't notice him staring since they were all getting ready to play volleyball, instant memories of that night came as he watched him.

"We playing volleyball or what?" Olivia asked as she came back from bathroom.

...

Tonight was Valley Fest. Originally it was supposed to be him and Olivia but Thomas was alone tonight. His father, Sam, and his family were here but he was all separated from them. There he was, eating ice cream by himself. It sucked, he had no one to talk too, his own family weren't even with him. Suddenly, someone dips their finger in the ice and licks it off their finger.

Tom looked up and saw Miguel with a big smile on his face, "Hey." Thomas smiles back. "What are you doing here alone?" Miguel questions. "Well, I have no plans so.." He shrugged. "Listen, don't get mad but my Sensei kinda wants to crash- don't care because it doesn't involve me." Thomas interrupts. "Listen."

"Why don't we go on a ride together?" Miguel recommends, "I have a few minutes till the crashing so....." He trails off as he grabbed the teenagers hand, leading him to the ferris wheel. Thomas throws away his ice cream, the two still holding hands as they walk and maybe Thomas knew they still were.

Miguel quickly let his hand go once he noticed which Thomas made a sad face, sad that they couldn't do it again. They get on the ride after giving the man their tickets, "You scared of heights?" Miguel teases. "Actually, I'm not afraid anymore." He smiles confidently making Miguel laugh.

The two sit as they ride starts, they watch everything. Silence fill the two, Tom wondered if now was a good time to mention the night but I mean why? It hasn't been mentioned in so so long. As they were up at the very top, Thomas could feel Miguel scoot closer to him.

Miguel grabs Thomas's hand, intertwining their fingers together. He feels his face heat up, knowing he was easily blushing. Thomas looks at Miguel, scanning every single feature on his face. He sees Miguel close his eyes, making Thomas close his. The two lean in, but the ride went again which made the two jump and stop.

He lets go of his hand, Thomas felt like everything happened so fucking quickly. Miguel wasn't gay. He even told him at the tournament, right? Either that or Miguel is just really drunk again but there wasn't any smell. The ride was over, "Now if you'll excuse me, I have to change but I'll text you?" The two chuckle before he left.

Wait, Miguel just tried to kiss Thomas. Or was he going crazy?
