Misunderstood [K.P]

Chapter Twelve

Right now Kai and Maddie were in the middle of a heated game of catchphrase, as this is one of their favorite pastimes, they love to play games and they even have a whiteboard in the kitchen with the number of games each person has won. Of course, Maddie won more than Kai had because she was overall 'an amazing board game player'. However, this game wasn't looking so good for her because Kai was doing surprisingly well at it. It's been going on for an hour and they were tied, both too stubborn to admit defeat. Its was currently Kai's turn and they were in the food section,

    "Ok so it's your favorite food that I make and it's really quick and easy-"

    "Pasta!" he shakes his head

    "Spaghetti and meatballs" he shakes his head again

    "Pizza!" she screams feeling the panic as she had waisted too much time on that one, he hands it over to her and she smiles as the word is pancakes

    "OK so you make me this for breakfast all the time-" the buzzer goes off signaling that she had lost. Kai jumps up and screams in joy

    "yesssss!!! Cobra Kai for the win!"

    "don't hate the player hate the game" he smirks after observing her pouting against the coach

    "face it you can never beat me" he says smirking

    "ok rematch loser has to do the shopping for the next week" she says feeling a burst of confidence, he sits back down and smirks leaning forward and looking into her eyes

"you're on red" he says shaking her hand. When their hands touch both of them feel the tingle of electricity and pull away, neither knew what that meant, as it happens every time they touch. Neither had ever felt it before, Kai was not bad with the ladies back when he was on earth, but he never had a relationship, he was more of a one-night stand kind of guy. However Maddie was completely clueless when it came to love, as the only man she'd ever loved had sacrificed himself before she could even kiss him for the first time. Both of them ignore it as they always do and get back to the intense game. After a few minutes of back and forth the buzzer goes off on her again and kai does a backward somersault cheering and jumps up punching the air.

     "and I win again" he brags

    "grocery shopping for a week, rough" he says lending a hand for her, she grabs it and stands to her feet once again ignoring the spark, and looks up at him

    "jokes on you I like shopping, besides you never come with me anyway"

-

After she got back from her grocery hall she entered the kitchen and set the bags down on the counter to be greeted by Kai who was sitting at the table looking nervous. She frowns and begins to unload the items she'd grabbed while watching him carefully, awaiting his explanation for this odd behavior. For as long as she'd known Kai he'd never acted this way, he was always loud and talkative. 

    "before you ask yes I got the pork rinds" 

    "thank you" he says quietly which is very unlike him

    "are you ok? you seem Offaly quiet today"

    "I'm just nervous because I have a gift for you but I don't know if you'll like it"

    "what you didn't have to get me anything"

    "well I just saw it in the store the other day and it reminded me of you" he says holding up a gold sun necklace and she gasps in shock

    "kai its beautiful"

    "here let me put it on" he says, she turns around and moves her hair so he can put it on feeling chills crawl up her skin as his fingers clasp the necklace around her.

"so the reason this reminded me of you is because before you came, this place really was hell. But then you showed up with your bouncy red hair and amazing laugh you brightened up my life, Maddie you are my sunshine. I mean I don't know how you did it but you have made me actually feel something other than anger and hate and I don't know what's happening to me but I think it's good even though it scares me to death" he says putting on the necklace, she wastes no time in turning around and hugging him tightly with tears in her eyes, he hugs her back tightly.

"Thank you so much Kai I absolutely love it, and you've done the same for me, I used to think about how my life was over and how I'd never see my brothers or my friends again, but you have shown me that this isn't too bad, and I really am starting to like it here with you. So I think I owe you a bigger thank you"

"No thank you for being my light" he says kissing her forehead
