Too Hard - Cobra Kai x Reader

[9] Productivity

2 days after the skating incident I decided to go back and do everything. I didn't go to class for Cobra Kai nor for Miyagi Do and Ice skating because I was recovering from everything. When you put hard work on things and fail it hurts... a lot. Physically and mentally.

Tuesday in the morning I went over to Miyagi Do to do some light training. I told Sensei about what had happened with my cheek replacing the cobra Kai incident with me falling off my skateboard. Afterwards he taught me a few things and let me spare with Sam. After a few turns Sam went to a country club with her mom so she was switched out with Robby.

Robby and I have been getting close lately. Whenever I would train he would teach me little things that helped a lot. "So... what happened with your cheek?" Robby asked throwing a punch.

"What do you mean?" I asked blocking it

"It looks slightly bruised. A bit messed up..."

"Thanks" I said sarcastically throwing a punch back.

"You know what I mean" he said blocking it.

"I fell..."

"You sure?"

"Yea..."

"You sure you sure?"

"Yes!" I exclaimed. Just then he grabbed my kick and threw me down. He threw a punch but stopped it before he came contact.

"You let down your guard." He smirked.  I kicked his side causing him to roll over. I got on him and punched his chest hard "So did you..."

"Good job" Sensei LaRusso clapped. I quickly looked up getting out of my angry trance. I got off of Robby and helped him up. "You beat my bests student!" Sensei smiled

"Best?" Robby repeated. "Well yeah, you're my first student and you know almost everything" Daniel smiled.

"Don't tell Sam though!" He added.

"We won't" I smiled

"Good" he walked back to the other group of students

"What was that about?" Robby asked

"Hm?" I face towards him

"Your were aggressive... did I do something wrong?"

"Oh! No. It was just in the moment. Sorry"

"Ok..." he said taking his stance.

"What-"

"That was one point, one more and you win"

"Easy" I smirked getting into stance. He threw the first punch which I blocked but he took the split second that I focused on the block to swipe under my feet causing me to fall back. I landed and quickly rolled over as Robbie punched the mat. I got up as he did and he went to punch which I grabbed, moved it to my side, turned, and leaned forward causing him to flip. As I was about to get a hit he kicked me off. "Good one" I said regaining my balance. As we took our stance again when my alarm rang. "Shoot" I went over and turned it off "it's 11 I should be heading to the ice rink."

"Why?" Robbie asked handing me my water

"Well, the day I fell there was this coaching event which I participated in. Out of the ten coaches I got 4 of their cards and today 2 of them are training with some of their students." I put my bag on. "I want to watch how they teach before I decided who to pick"

"are they good coaches?"

"From my research they are, but seeing in person is better than just googling it."

"Oh-"

"Yea, I'll text you later though" I said as I was ready to leave "we're finishing the fight tomorrow! Bye" I waved

"Bye" Robby departed

I walked out and got to an Uber straight to the rink. The bag I had was mixed with my ice skating things and the things I needed for karate. As I arrived I went up to the diner upstairs and ordered a drink. I then sat by the window and looked out at the rink.

I noticed one of the coaches already there with a student so I watched for a bit taking notes on my phone about things that I liked and disliked on how he teaches. After 20 minutes their session was over and the next coach went with their student and I watched taking notes.

Once I was finished with my drink the coach was almost done with the session so I threw it away and went on the rink to practice. I practice harder moves first, I then went on to basics and then small routines. For a while now I've been working on my triple Axel. I can do a double perfectly but a triple is something else. I started to work on getting higher jumps. I then did a single Axel and repeated it a few times trying to get a higher jump. Afterwards I did a double still trying to go as high as I can. I the. Tried a triple but I was halfway when I lost my focus and landed on the ground wobbling a bit.

I only stayed there an hour more before going home. Cobra Kai was at 3 so I had a few hours to relax. I took a quick nap then ate.

*Time Jump* *Third person*

Y/N got to the dojo and changed into the Gi. She was talking with Aisha when Tory walked in. Y/N avoided looking her. She wasn't sure if Tory hated her or not and didn't want to take it too far.

Aisha went to talk to another one of her friends leaving Y/N alone. Y/N was thinking about the coaches when someone walked in front of her. "Hey" Hawk Smiled

"Oh- hi Eli... or Hawk?"

"Eli... just- call me Eli"

"Okay" Y/N smiled

"Cheeks doing better?"

"Yea, I can sleep on my right now"

"Thats good" he smiled "can we hang out later?"

"Yea sure. We can watch a movie at my place"

"Definitely"

The class was about to start so everyone got in position. Miguel lead the warm ups and afterwards they all fought with a partner to "take chances" like the lesson Kreese was trying to teach a few days ago. Y/N partnered up with Aisha and spared in the other side of the room away from Tory and her partner. When class ended Y/N walked home with Eli...
