❛ You're a crazy motherfucker, you know that? ❜

     If Ayane were not going to be charged with assault, she would have kicked Silver's ass ten different ways.

She stood there with her fists clenched, staring him down.

"What the fuck are you doing here?" she spat through gritted teeth, Silver only smiling.

"Ayane, we both know why I'm here," he replied, clasping his hands in front of him.

Miguel was seething from beside her, almost feeling guilty for convincing her to come to Miyagi-Do to spar. He should've known that Silver or Ennis or some Cobra Kai would have been lurking there.

Ayane almost let her nails cut into her palms again, unclenching her fists at once.

"I'm not going to fucking Cobra Kai," she said as calmly as she could, though her voice was trembling with rage.

Silver nodded, his smirk never leaving his face. "And that's okay. I told your dad it was gonna be this way, but he still thinks we can somehow manage to convince you. Dads know best, am I right?"

Ayane knew Silver was screwing with her. There was some kind of catch to this. She just wasn't sure what, yet.

"What are you doing here, then? You didn't come here just to tell me that."

Silver raised his head, taking a few steps closer to her.

"Ayane, I know your mother told you about your brother. I have ears everywhere."

Her eyes widened a little, realizing that what she had overheard Silver say about bringing Jae to Cobra Kai was true.

"You wanna reunite with him, don't you?" Silver asked as if he already knew the answer.

"You're a piece of shit," Ayane trembled with anger.

Silver gave a small shrug. "I'm giving you the opportunity of a lifetime, Ayane. The chance to meet your brother again, who you thought was presumably dead. All you have to do is come to Cobra Kai. He'll be there."

Ayane could have laughed. This was all fucking crazy. She shook her head, not knowing what to say.

"Ayane, you don't have to say anything to him," Miguel placed a hand on her shoulder reassuringly. "Let's just go–"

"Just think about it, Miss Cain," Terry interjected, meeting the girl's eyes. "I want you to see your brother again. He's excited to see you, too. He's waiting patiently."

With that, Silver turned to leave Miyagi-Do. Ayane was partially in shock, unmoving.

Miguel came around to stand in front of her, snapping Ayane out of it.

"Hey. Are you okay?" he asked, placing his hands on her shoulders.

Ayane could feel tears stinging her eyes, blinking them away with a curt nod. "Yeah. I'm fine. I just– it took me off guard, is all."

Miguel nodded in understanding. "I get it. You can't believe anything he says. It's a trick. He's playing at your weaknesses because you don't have many."

She nodded back at him, glancing to the ground briefly. "Yeah, you're right. Yeah. You ready to go home?"

Miguel smiled softly, placing an arm around her reassuringly as he guided her out of the dojo.

Ayane knew she should not have fallen for Silver's trap, but he was dangling the opportunity for her to be reunited with Jae right in front of her nose. It wasn't a trick, and Ayane knew Silver was being truthful.

If she wanted to see Jae, she'd have to pay a visit to Cobra Kai.

     Carmen and Rosa greeted Ayane warmly, having no problem with her staying.

They had dinner prepared when Ayane and Miguel got back, and Ayane was surprised to see none other than Johnny and Robby also there.

"We're going to need a bigger table before long," Carmen laughed, setting plates out on the table.

Robby smiled over at Ayane as she squeezed between him and Miguel at the table. Then she noticed his eyes trail over to Miguel, his expression turning to a scowl. The two of them still had quite a bit of unresolved beef with each other.

Ayane grabbed Miguel's hand under the table, giving him a smile as he halfway glared at Robby. Miguel cut his eyes away from him, returning her smile.

"Alright, let's dig in, my stomach's eating my backbone," Johnny said, taking a seat.

Ayane simply shook her head.

After dinner, Ayane went out of her way to help clean up to try and show some appreciation for the Diaz family letting her stay.

"Ayane, you don't have to help. Miggy can handle the dishes," Carmen said, looking over at her son.

He sighed, getting up from the table at once and heading to the sink.

Johnny and Robby left, and Carmen and Rosa went to their bedrooms at once. Ayane stayed in the kitchen with Miguel, chewing her lip.

"Want me to help?"

Miguel gave her a look, setting a plate on the dish rack. "You don't have to help, Ayane."

She narrowed her eyes, crossing her arms as she leaned against the counter. "But I want to. I'm gonna have to pitch in if I'm staying here, right?"

"Knowing my mom and Yaya, you won't have to lift a finger. I think they love you more than me, honestly."

Ayane laughed, tilting her head at him. "Thank you, Miguel. For all of this. And for not letting Silver get in my head."

Miguel paused what he was doing, returning her smile. "That's what I'm here for. You're my girl."

She raised her eyebrows slightly, feeling unusually flustered by that.

"Your girl, huh? I kinda like how that sounds."

Miguel laughed softly, about to reply when Ayane suddenly took soap from the sink and put it on his nose.

"Now move. Let me help with the dishes."

Miguel did not hesitate to retaliate, taking a handful of soap and in turn wiping it on her cheek. She opened her mouth, looking up at him with soap still on his nose. Ayane burst into laughter, Miguel doing the same.

"You little shit."

"Me?" Miguel scoffed, placing a hand on his chest. "You started it!"

She simply shrugged, feigning innocence.

"I don't know what you're talking about."

Miguel narrowed his eyes at her, then suddenly leaned down to kiss her. Ayane kissed him back, her hands going on his shoulders as his went around her waist. He gripped her waist as he leaned into her, backing Ayane against the counter. Ayane's hand went into his hair, the other settling on his face.

Finally pulling away, Miguel looked into her eyes.

"Ready for bed?" he asked in a quiet voice, Ayane pulling her lips in.

"Let's go."

He grabbed her hand, guiding her to his bedroom and quickly shutting the door, locking it quietly. Miguel turned to face her, Ayane greeting him with yet another kiss.

He guided her backwards toward his bed, breaking away from the kiss as he sat down.

Miguel grabbed Ayane by her wrist, pulling her down into his lap. She laughed uncontrollably, placing her arms around his neck as his hand settled around her ass.

"You that desperate, hm?" Ayane mumbled before leaning down to kiss him, grasping either side of his face.

"When it comes to you," he replied between kisses, sliding his hands up to her waist. Ayane allowed him to guide her, moving a leg so that she straddled Miguel. She leaned down again to kiss him, allowing his tongue in her mouth. Ayane let a small moan escape her lips, grinding her hips down on Miguel's lap.

He moved his hands back down and gripped her ass again, breaking away for a moment to breathe.

"You're killing me," he groaned, throwing his head back as Ayane palmed him through his jeans.

"Mm, I know," she laughed softly, knowing how hard he was. Miguel was not sure how much more teasing he could take.

He finally stopped her, grabbing her by the waist and pushing her down onto the bed.

"Aw, I was just getting started," Ayane whined, smirking ever so slightly. Miguel hovered over her, leaning down to press his lips against her neck. His arms rested around either side of her until he brought a hand up to knead her breasts.

"I fucking love your boobs," he remarked, Ayane fighting the urge not to laugh.

"Way to set the mood," she retorted with sarcasm, a sudden gasp escaping her lips as Miguel sucked rather harshly on her neck.

He began to move himself lower and lower, sliding his hands under Ayane's shirt and pushing it up. Miguel kissed down her stomach slowly, looking up to see her eyes shut tightly and her back slightly arching off of the bed.

Miguel was only motivated more by the sight, undoing the button and zipper of Ayane's jeans.

"What if someone hears us?" she halted, leaning her head up to look at Miguel.

He only smirked, roughly removing her jeans. "Be quiet and we won't have to worry about that."

Ayane opened her mouth to reply, but she could not speak before Miguel moved his hand beneath her underwear, finding her clit and rubbing it slowly.

"Fuck," Ayane uttered in the quietest possible voice, bringing a hand over her head to grip the pillow behind her. Miguel began to go faster with the circular motions he was making, resulting in heavy breaths from Ayane who was fighting not to be extremely loud. She jerked her hips upward with impatience as Miguel let her tug at the back of his t-shirt, edging her.

"Oh my God," she panted, "Miguel–"

He abruptly stopped, confusing Miguel. But she did not have time to ask questions before he slid her underwear down her legs, lowering himself down the bed and grabbing her thighs to place over his shoulders.

"I just wanna devour you," Miguel muttered, not giving her a moment's breath before he pressed his lips to her clit. He licked his tongue down her folds, humming a bit as he worked against Ayane. The vibrations alone were enough to make her want to cum, trying as hard as she could to be quiet.

She could not hold it in as Miguel worked his tongue against her, gripping her thighs as they squeezed around his head. Ayane felt the orgasm rising in her, a warm feeling spreading through her abdomen. Bringing a hand to her mouth, Ayane bit down on her knuckles. With her other hand she tousled Miguel's hair, grabbing a handful of it but not pulling too hard.

"Jesus, fuck, don't stop," Ayane breathed out, letting out quiet moans that could not be held in.

Miguel continued to lick and suck in a rhythm, doing exactly what Ayane had told him to do. He looked up at her, Ayane's eyes in the back of her head. He was painfully hard at the sight, tracing his fingers down her thigh and to her core. He inserted his fingers slowly, curling them inside her. Ayane was a complete mess now, nearly done for.

Miguel kept a steady pace as he pushed his fingers inside her, Ayane's breath hitching as she felt the heat rising in her abdomen. She nearly moaned loud enough to wake the entire house, a sudden orgasm hitting her and leaving her legs trembling.

Removing her legs from his shoulders gently, Miguel crawled back up to Ayane as she panted, giving him a wild look.

"You're a crazy motherfucker, you know that," Ayane said quietly, Miguel smiling down at her and leaning in for a small kiss.

"You deserved it. You've had a rough couple of days."

Ayane shrugged. "Yeah, but so have you."

Miguel began to smirk. "Well, if you wanna repay me..."

She laughed lightly, pushing him off of her with force and feeling her wrist for a hair tie.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

There was no better feeling than waking up in Miguel's arms, to Ayane.

He held her tightly, being the big spoon while snoring softly. Ayane smiled to herself, rolling over to face him at once.

Miguel's eyes fluttered a little, coming to at once.

"Good morning, sunshine."

He stifled a yawn, smiling like an idiot. "Morning. How'd you sleep?"

Ayane put a leg between Miguel's, nuzzling her face in his chest. "Like a baby. Best sleep I've had a long while."

Miguel traced his fingertips along her arm, yawning once more.

"Good. Maybe you'll start getting good sleep every night, now that you're here."

"I hope so," Ayane ruffled his hair, planting a kiss on his cheek. "So, what's on the agenda for today?"

Miguel slowly shrugged. "I don't know. I think Eli had invited me to go to the waterpark with him. I'm sure he wouldn't care if you tagged along, too."

Ayane began to nod, then thinking once more about what Silver had said.

Her brother, he was at Cobra Kai. All she had to do was show up, and she would see him. She didn't have to stay at the dojo, or become a student again. All she had to do was go for Jae.

"We can go to the waterpark," Ayane replied, Miguel sitting up a little in bed.

"Alright. Make sure to wear the hottest swimsuit you've got. Actually, just let me pick it out."

She rolled her eyes with a laugh, pushing herself up into a sitting position.

"I think I may hit the gym after we go," Ayane said, hoping Miguel would not say he wanted to come with.

"That may have to be a solo trip," Miguel responded, "I think I wanna enjoy my day off."

Ayane was somewhat relieved at this, climbing out of bed and stretching.

"I'll let you enjoy your day off, then. What's for breakfast?"

Ayane felt guilty for not telling him what she was about to do, but it had to be done.

For her own sake.
