i LOVE it when they fight together !!!

how to save a life (step one, you say we need to talk)

“They were expecting to find Miguel Diaz. What they weren’t expecting to find was love.”

Imagining of Season 5 in which Demetri and Eli go on a totally straight and totally heterosexual Dudebro road trip to Mexico to find their best friend. Unfortunately, when you’re trapped in a car with someone for hours on end, you might have to start confronting some feelings you wish weren’t there.

Well, everyone, I caved. I fucking caved. I said so many times that I wasn’t going to write CK fanfiction because GODDAMN if I don’t have too many WIPs in other fandoms, but like. The desire to write a homoerotic road trip fic was just too damn much.

I’ve never tried formally writing these two before, so I have no idea if it’s any good, but GOD did I try lol. Not much plot here, mostly just Vibes, gay tension, and missing and worrying about Best Boy Miguel!!! Also written partly out of spite because I’m just constantly seeing Miguel/Demetri friendship erasure in the fandom and it’s gotten me HEATED, so now I’m writing about Demetri going off to find Miguel in Mexico and internally monologuing about how worried he is and y’all just gonna have to deal with it. Fun fact: Miguel and Demetri love each other, and I will not hear otherwise under any circumstances :D

Also I can’t believe I’ve been in this fandom over a year and it took fucking writing this fic to realize Demetri has an extremely bad case of generalized anxiety disorder D: Like he worries about every all the time and honestly? Same

Uhhhhh CW for mentions of human trafficking, even if it’s done in jest (they’re teenage boys after all, this is the kinda thing teenage boys joke about lol) and some zesty…physical references, but the sauciest thing they do is make out because I’m asexual and do not wish to write smut XD

Fic is under the cut!!! Be warned, it is a 4k word longboi!!!

EDIT: There is now a sequel here as well!!!

Demetri and Eliii~

I have sooo many but here are a few main ones!

They definitely learned sign language so Eli still has a way of communicating when he wouldn’t talk + Eli had a lisp he was insecure about so sign language made it so he didn’t have to talk with it

They met in kindergarten when Eli was on the playground crying about something someone said about his lip

Demetri just looked at this poor kid and said “mine”

Their first fight was whether Marvel or DC is better

After Eli apologized Demetri made them go on a Doctor Who binge together

Eli is pan and Demetri is gay

Eli likes energy drinks and Demetri likes ice coffee

They both have nightmares about what happened at Golf n Stuff

Eli will kiss the arm he broke in between saying sorry when he feel especially guilty about it

Demetri LOVED it when Hawk had his hair down because he could play with it

They give each other gifts CONSTANTLY

After the Christmas fight Demetri convinced Hawk to join Miyagi-Fang after he wanted to quit because he didn’t think anyone would want him there

When they were young Demetri got mad a Eli for trying to use makeup to hide his scar because “It’s a part of who you are, Eli”

Eli is a math nerd and Demetri is a English nerd

soft Hawk
