me when it's past midnight: wdym mystery is written with two y's
“ I have felt permanently guilty for no reason since I was like eight years old. ” for sam
feelings of guilt & crushing responsibility ? she's familiar. her mouth opens & closes in a heartbeat, eyebrows pinching together. she feels bad joking with her dad about it being genetic & unfortunately, that says plenty. still, they share a look & her gaze holds an understanding she knows he can decipher. he's been around for enough of her low points to know she can relate, though maybe not quite to the same extent. he was never anything but supportive & kind & present. she's not an idiot – she got extremely lucky in the father department. but growing up thinking you have big shoes to fill & a legacy to carry takes a toll. every little mistake always feels worse to her than it actually is & the bigger mistakes nearly put her in the ground. she's working on it. & her dad might not know this, but every time he lets her see behind the curtain, every time he opens up & she gets a peek at the scars he likes to pretend aren't there, it helps. it's a reminder that he's only human. & so is she. " you've never told me that. "

me when moon is in college working towards having her own jewelry line and sam is in japan falling in love with a new culture and marine biology: 🤧💕😭💞
"sensei wolf said the tournament might not end." there was an investigation going. his words are given as a way to give her comfort, as if it was a passing trouble, but the truth was, that they all saw another person, another kid their age, dead on the mat, something that was not meant to happen, not in those days. he does not know how to help her feel better when the voice in the back of his mind tells him they are enemies. that he should not even talk to her. but sam had been kind, when she didn't had to.
"nothin' wrong in wanting to win. people say it is not needed but. . .sometimes we do." it's simple for him. he heard it before in others. those days it felt everyone was fine with participation trophys but he still recalls his first trophy and how it felt, the gold on his necklace as the medal hung with pride. "it's validation. confirmation perhaps, of your hard work." confirmation that all he endured had not been for nothing. that his ability to feel pain wasn't lost for nothing. "you will win. and you have friends, and family. that sometimes matters more."
he couldn't really say. he does not speak with whatever family he has back home, if he can even call it home, and friends? well, all he had at the moment was sam, if he could call it such a thing. "sensei wolf say collage might be a distraction for the future but. . .I would not mind going. I like to teach." the younger ones in the dojo look up to him at times and he enjoys guiding them in what he can. eyes shift back toward sam before shrugging, allowing a moment of sheer vulnerability. "all I have is karate."
" validation can take a lot of different shapes. " had you asked her what a trophy means to her the last time she competed in a tournament, her view would've been completely different. she remembers it clear as day – her sense of identity caught in an agonizing dance with the world's expectations, with her dad's legacy. she remembers stupidly allowing a trophy to dictate her self worth. if she wasn't larusso 2.0, who the hell was she ? finding out the match between her & tory wasn't a fair fight doesn't change the fact that had she won, she would've never been forced to look deeper. she would've never truly learned that a loss doesn't make her the disappointment she'd convinced herself to have become. fighting is enough. giving your all is enough, no matter the outcome. after everything that's happened, maybe this is finally starting to sink in. " don't get me wrong, i'm super competitive, i've always been that way. a sekai taikai trophy would be crazy awesome. " she smiles a little, trying to ease the tension his thoughts seem to be driving him into. " & there was a time i would've called bullshit on what i'm saying now, but – you're the only one who ever truly knows how hard you work. if you go out there & give it everything you've got, you've already won. "
her heart aches just a little as he goes on, knowing how much she treasures the people in her life. knowing how much easier the awful moments are when someone you love is by your side. the thought of axel not having that doesn't sit right. " axel... karate is really great. & you're an amazing fighter. but i don't think it should be everything. " a beat. " you're allowed to have a life outside of it. & i'm sorry, but your sensei doesn't really strike me as someone you should be taking life advice from. " a beat. " if you want to go to college, don't let him stop you. it's your life. no one should control what you do with it but you. "

❛ You misunderstand, Samantha-san. ❜ Like father, like daughter, he supposes. Chozen frowns, wrinkles around his eyes tight as he observes the playing field. While he understands her fear (Daniel-san had been so unlike the loudmouthed little punk who traipsed Okinawa like his teenaged swagger mattered to the war-torn country island that even he had his concerns), the fact of the matter is that they are here. They cannot back out of the Sekai Taikai without great shame and dishonour to the Miyagi-do name. Daniel-san and Lawrence cannot pull their heads out of their asses for the sake of pride or their children, then drastic measures must be pulled.
❛ We must remind them of common enemy. They bicker with each other like children on playground. This is Sekai Taikai--no mistakes can be made. No second chances. Miyagi-do deserves better showing than this, and it starts with unclouding the minds of your sensei. ❜ Both of them.
no second chances. that exact choice of words is definitely not helping the stress that's been taking a hold of her. for a second, she looks at him like he might say something to soften the blow next – but it's a good reminder that she's not talking to her dad right now. chozen is as solution oriented as can be. he's focused, as opposed to her other two senseis right now. with that in mind, she quickly goes from needing reassurance to feeling relieved. it's good to have a strategy before the next event – they might just recover. she might just get to see their opponents sweat for a change. she offers him a fleeting, tight lipped smile next. " have i told you how glad i am you're here yet ? " he might not have made a graceful entrance, but something tells her he wouldn't appreciate her prying into that right now. " okay. how do we do this ? "
' your dad beat me in 1984, you know. ' more than happy to fact check bits and pieces of this script, sienna's far too amused to share some of her favorite ( missing ) details. ' it was my first competition, finally. i was about to make brown belt. ' a glance up to @moonlitkata , allowed to sit in as an extra in the tournament final, in the row above her. ' my daddy came to see me fight, actually. sat right behind mrs. larusso, even ... right where you're sitting right here. ' a laugh, and sie turns back to the mat. ' had no idea that the little loser could fight like that. '
this is a rare occasion. usually, when her dad experiences a blast from the past, it's not a nice surprise. there's chaos & unresolved conflicts & everything in-between. this time, not so much. it's been nice to have sienna around. & getting the chance to partake in a project based on such a significant moment in her dad's life is pretty surreal. there's not much to do as an extra, but she's definitely aware of the cameras. watching the professionals sure is fun, though. sam wouldn't have guessed she'd feel so instantly transported back in time. " never bet against the underdog. " a quiet laugh escapes her. " i'll bet you dad was really proud, anyway. " she speaks from experience, soft smile pulling at her lips. " this feels so weird. good weird, i mean. " eyebrows pinch together, warmth in her voice. " it just... really hits me how big his all valley legacy is sometimes. "

*gasp* it's officially moon's birthday on this side of the world
I CAN'T CATCH A GODDAMN BREAK
he already didn't like where this conversation was heading based on her hesitation. which in their world typically meant one thing - cobra kai. he was about to begin the grilling when she continued, and his shoulders untensed albeit briefly. ❛ that's not vague as hell or anything, ❜ eli mumbled as she paused. she was talking in circles and he couldn't tell if it was intentionally or because she was nervous. until she mentioned axel - their tough as hell, could knock you out with a light shove competition - and suddenly things began to make sense. ❛ sam - ❜ he began to protest, but she continued, & there it was. the cobra kai shaped elephant that followed them from room to room. eli was trying to process everything, mouth opened to interject, but she kept on going & the word kiss had him reeling back. ❛ whoa, whoa, WHOA . . . he tried to KISS YOU ? did you knock him on his ass ? although i don't know how you'd do that, he's like 8 feet. did you tell miguel ? you have to tell miguel. ❜
they were borderline talking over one another with their respective bombs dropped. eli was still hanging onto the whole kiss thing, but he hadn't finished explaining his own story. he didn't think she'd continue on the axel trajectory until he addressed it. ❛ yeah the double bird. you know --- ❜ he raised both of his middle fingers to demonstrate before letting his hands fall to his knees. ❛ i just want to say once again that this is not my fault. we were at the tapas bar, and that maria girl from furia de pantera came up to us and asked how we were doing and said she liked my hair. i told her i have a girlfriend. then she asked demetri to dance and he went with her. told me he's on vacation. ❜ he raised a hand to rub at the back of his neck, heaving a sigh before continuing. ❛ i was sitting by myself. i was bored and maybe a little lonely so i facetimed moon and i was just showing her the bar and i forgot demetri was on the dance floor. moon saw and yasmine was with her so yasmine saw and she absolutely freaked. she called and dumped him. ❜
" rude. i could take him if i wanted to. " he's not eight feet... she doesn't think... & no, she doesn't actually know what her strategy would be, but improvising is always an option. she digresses. " nothing happened, he just – misunderstood. i shut it down, he walked away. & of course i'll tell miguel. " she's way past hiding indiscretions from her significant others. in her experience, it leads to a little more than heartbreak. besides, it was just an awkward moment. there's no reason why it has to turn into a big thing. either way, miguel doesn't need this right now. he's got his mom to worry about & she'd rather not add to his plate. " it can wait, though. i told him to call when he has any news. " she's sick to her stomach just at the thought of him coming home to something awful. the sudden worry on her face says that feeling won't go away until she knows carmen is okay.
cue the double bird demonstration – the perfect distraction & random enough to draw a puff of laughter out of her. " got it. continue. " she stays attentive, her expression shifting from cautiously curious to rightfully revolted. " he said he's on vacation ?! " mouth stays agape as she imagines about a hundred different ways she should be kicking his ass on yasmine's behalf. " god, i know he has his issues with you right now, but acting like this behind yasmine's back ? self-sabotage much ? " she makes a mental note to talk to him one on one. soon. " guess something good came out of your separation anxiety. yas had the right to know. " a pause follows, eyes forward as she frowns. " if this night gets any more stupid, i'm walking into the sea. "

@moonlitkata , cont.
no time for weakness, he says. he doesn’t need some new-age hippie holding his students’ hands and singing kumbaya while a war rages. but she doesn’t cower in his shadow like so many others. kindness, she says, like it’s a magic cure-all, and he crosses his arms to hold back a scoff. ‘the world isn’t kind, snowflake.’ from where does she think it ought to have come, kreese asks himself. the enemy? his captain? the boys who used to bully him in school? his father? yeah, he’d known kindness once: a single candle in a snowstorm before it was snuffed out. something about her reminds him of something about her, in the purest way — stripped down to emotion, a warmth so rare and ephemeral. he doesn’t know much about her, ‘cept her misguided support of losers and underdogs. you like freaks so much, start a circus. kreese shakes his head to free himself of the thought. he’s not a kid anymore, and the world just don’t work that way; it’s absurd he ever thought it did. and her — ‘you’ll learn.’ he chuckles, dark and cold as the ice inside him now. ‘just look around.’
moon & confrontation don't mix well. the mere sight of her right now could make that clear as day – the tension in her stance, the arms wrapped around herself as though they might just form a shield against the pain & anger she feels radiating off of him from deep within. still, there's resolve in her gaze. a determination to stick to her guns in front of the man who just keeps playing dirty & winning. " i know the world isn't kind. that doesn't mean i have to follow its lead. " as though it doesn't take strength to hold onto hope & warmth when the ground crumbles under your feet. as though someone's kindness in the middle of a storm can't make all the difference in the world for someone else. " violence breeds violence, i don't have to tell you that. that's not how i want to live my life. " he prompts her to look around, but she doesn't comply. it's nothing she hasn't already seen. " i did. & what i saw was a bunch of kids being taught that it's okay to let anger consume them. to turn against their friends. " she can hardly keep the heartache out of her voice. " you can't seriously believe this is the right way. but if you do... " words are genuine, painfully gentle as ever. " i feel really sad for you. "
Ow. Ow. Ow! Dammit, Sam! Anthony rubs at his pinky discreetly because gangsters don't cry. And not to brag, but his GTA character is pretty fucking gangster.
❛ In my defense, ❜ he begins, tone whiny; the perfect lawyer. ❛ I said less of, okay? This is me being nice. ❜ Well, nice enough. Come on. He's the youngest. And he'll always be the youngest unless his parents have another accident. Which, ew. He doesn't even want to think about that happening. Oh, oh god, he's thinking about it.
Is this how Sam's boyfriends 1 and 2 felt when they heard the news that old man junk can still work? Because if so, ew. Double ew.
Topic change, stat.
❛ You know what we haven't done in a while? Go to the mall. ❜ Meaning: drive him to the mall while he lives out his best passenger princess life and pay for his eventual boba. ❛ I heard they added more games to the arcade~ ❜
" oh, sure, i can really feel the love. " words drip with sarcasm, blues narrowing his way though it's hard not to smile. at this point, she'd take it as a bad omen if he didn't try to mess with her. something has got to be awfully wrong for the two of them to completely ignore each other's existence. she takes a victorious sip of iced coffee next, knowing that while he might be taller, she's definitely stronger & that counts as a win in her book. " you want to go to the mall with me ? " color her genuinely surprised. she's used to being his occasional chauffeur when it suits her, but that part usually ends with him going off to meet his friends while she drives off. " is this you trying to spend more time with me before i'm off to japan ? " she'll get an i'll miss you out of him eventually. " because if you bail on me at the arcade, there will be hell to pay. "
