"Yeah, but you can't quit!"

"I got yelled at, got my ass kicked, and then gave him my money! You know who lives like that? Hookers."

"Yeah, but he's not that bad a guy! You gotta give him a chance. You don't know him like I do."

"...that's hooker talk."

***

Hey so remember when I said the winner of the GOAT Miguetri Moment poll would get a thing???

WELL I AM A WOMAN OF MY WORD DAMMIT

I realized I've never actually made these two a friendship moodboard and that!!! Will not stand, dammit!!!

Anyways their S1 dynamic was/is so important to me. Cute lil idealist Miguel truly believing Johnny Lawrence can solve all problems and cynical defeatist Demetri who has the only brain cell and is like "hey, this dude shat on my other best friend for something he can't help, embarrassed me for trying to defend him, AND I had to pay him??? At least I don't gotta cash out to Kyler." Dude's got a point, honestly. I'd get hazed out of Cobra Kai SO fast, and my parents would be like "thank god, those lessons were expensive" XD Demetri bby never let anyone shame you for making financially smart decisions that are also good for your mental health!!!

And the subtext of Demetri kinda trying to look out for Miguel and steer him away from idolizing this disaster man who peaked in high school??? Like I think I mentioned this on a previous post, but the way he tries to give Miguel the wake-up call Demetri thinks he needs and encourages him not to bend over backwards for people who (at least from what Demetri's seen!) don't treat him or people in general very well is kind of adorable. Like of course Demetri's being cheeky and smug and sarcastic about it, but he's basically saying that Miguel deserves better than Johnny and should respect/value himself a little more!

And Miguel, my beautiful hopeful babygirl Miguel Diaz <3 <3 <3 Like he believes in Demetri's potential long after Demetri's clearly given up on himself??? And tbh I've never read this scene as Miguel being annoyed Demetri trusts Miguel to protect him from bullies (like that's what you do for your friends lmao. And Miguel would in a heartbeat if he needed to because he's a loyal mf!!!). If anything, he seems worried about what Demetri's gonna do when he's not around and can't scare Kyler off and frustrated that Demetri's just dismissing his own potential that fast. Miguel clearly has 0 issue looking out for Demetri when the cards are down, considering how he talked to Johnny about Kreese punching him and readily sided with him after the Arm Break Incident.

Also something I've already mentioned in other posts, I'm sure, but the fact that a) Demetri completely trusts Miguel to protect him from bullies and implies he would do so with no hesitation and b) they're close enough friends after a few months max that they can comfortably walk with their arms brushing and casually give each other little affectionate platonic touches (most notably this little shoulder slap thing they do) is the cutest fucking thing on earth. This friendship is so slept on. Like every time I think about them I wanna cry because they're so fucking ride or die and they've easily had the most wholesome, loyal, and unproblematic friendship in the entire show and WHY aren't more people talking about them??? Any disagreements they have really ARE in the vein of "ugh you're so wrong never talk to me again for 10 minutes but then I have karate gossip I wanna tell you." I love them so much.

THEY ARE BESTIES YOUR HONOR

An argument could also be made that these two have a closer and healthier friendship than Miguel & Eli ever did and I ain't kicking that hornet's nest today but perhaps I will someday :3

"Wanna be my best friend and then judge me" also just. PERFECTLY captures their friendship XD SO much mutual judgment going on in this scene and I am LIVING for it.

Went for a red, blue, green, and white-ish color scheme for this to match their clothes and the bg! Hopefully it came out okay.

As always, pic credits available upon request!

Prompt: Boys Don’t Cry

Friendships: Demetri & Miguel & Eli

***

“Shit.” Miguel leans against the alleyway wall. “Figured he did sketchy stuff, but...I didn’t think it was that bad.”

He studies the pavement. Demetri exchanges a look with Eli, frowning.

Miguel stays silent for a moment—no sound around them but Mexico City traffic.

“He mentioned my mom. He didn’t give a shit about her or Yaya. They kept interfering with his blood money schemes.”

The tears come in soft huffs, like Miguel’s trying to hide them.

Demetri meets Eli’s eyes. Moving in sync, they crush Miguel in an embrace.

“It’ll be okay,” Demetri murmurs. “Please come home with us.”

Prompt: Lost in Translation

Pairing: Miguetri

***

“You’re making fun of me!”

Demetri’s study partner looks up, eyebrows raised. “No, I’m not.”

“You totally are!” Demetri waves his hands in exasperation. “You keep glancing over at me and smiling and muttering in Spanish. What, enjoying yourself at the expense of my gangly form? Or perhaps my pasty complexion?”

“I’m not making fun of you, dude.”

Nonetheless, Miguel is at it again within minutes. Sneaking looks, grinning his little grin, mumbling about muy guapo this and muy sagaz that.

Rosa Diaz peeks at them from the kitchen and sighs.

“My grandson has a crush on you, mijo.”

“Yaya!”

Prompt: Happy Anniversary

Friendships: Miguel & Demetri

***

When Miguel finds the Miyagi Fang table at senior breakfast, Demetri’s the only one sitting. Everyone else must be taking group photos or getting snack bar seconds.

There’s one empty spot left between Demetri and Sam’s plate (evidenced by the abundance of pancakes and sea creature gummies).

“Can I sit here?” Miguel asks cheekily.

“Ooh, table’s really blowing up right now. I can waitlist you again, but it’ll probably be next semester at the earliest.”

“But we won’t be here next semester.”

“Well, shit.” Demetri’s eyebrows shoot up in mock surprise. “In that case, I’ll have to fast-track you. Sit.”

#allvalley100 #miguel diaz #demetri alexopoulos #demetri cobra kai #Miguetri Mondays #cobra kai #cobra kai season 1 #okay but I NEED a call-back like this in the series finale fr #and this time the table actually IS blowing up because Dem and Miguel have lots of friends <3 #WHOLESOME SHIT #everything really did start with Demetri almost scaring Miguel away with a table waitlist joke <3

Prompt: Ocean Deep

Pairing: Miguetreli

***

“Take us back!”

“We’ll miss the whole All-Ocean Mergladiator Tournament!”

Demetri accelerates the boat. Wet flopping indicates both his merman boyfriends are failing to climb the railing again.

“You’ll dry out,” he says. “Need me to get the tank?”

“We need another win!” comes Eli’s whine.

“We were gonna start a trophy collection!” comes Miguel’s mutter.

Demetri sighs. “Miguel, your tail injury acted up again. Eli, you’re recovering from the Eel Kais making their shark bite your entire crest off. No dangerous activities for now!”

They grumble, but don’t fight further.

“Cheer up! I’ll show you more human video games.”

***

So Miguetreli performed surprisingly well on the rarepair poll I had a while back (SOLIDLY second place??? Holy crap???), and who am I to deny the wills of the masses??? Some polyam loser nerd trio because I love my followers very much and y'all deserve nice things <3

Just a Normal Human Guy is so funny to me #like here are two fantasy novel protagonists and their incredibly ordinary human boyfriend. They're all very in love

@allvalley100

Prompt: Chemistry

Pairing: Miguetri

***

“Thanks for lending me these. Hard to take my own with the writing hand decommissioned.” Demetri fumbles to pull the chemistry notes from his backpack.

“Sure thing, man.” Miguel’s tone is nonchalant, but he takes the papers back a little too quickly.

“Although I couldn’t help but notice.” Demetri smirks. The color drains from Miguel’s face.

“Who was that handsome fellow you kept sketching in the margins? Because he looked an awful lot like me.”

“Shit.” Miguel looks away. “You saw that?”

“It’s okay.” Demetri pats Miguel’s shoulder, touch lingering. “If I had any artistic abilities whatsoever…I’d draw you too.”

#allvalley100 #demetri x miguel #miguel x demetri #miguel diaz #demetri alexopoulos #demetri cobra kai #miguetri #Miguetri Mondays #cobra kai #cobra kai season 3 #because I haven't written proper Miguetri in WAY too long! #anyways I figured since I did something for my other gay rarepair Saisha... #also this idea was cute and it wouldn't leave me alone until I wrote it #just Miguel being a lovesick little schoolgirl who just wants to craw his crush <3 #aka the dorkiest and lamest dude in the whole fuckin school <3

[demetriandelibinaryboyfriends]

@allvalley100

Prompt: Dancing

Pairing: Miguetri (implied Miguetreli!)

***

“Shit. We lost one to Doctor Who.”

Demetri looks at Miguel, concerned. He’s taking this a bit hard.

Well, Demetri won’t let him sulk through his first Halloween dance.

He takes the floor, extending a hand. “May I, Mr. Diaz?”

“What?!”

“I’m a necromancer.” Demetri inspects Miguel’s macabre costume. “Dancing with death is my whole thing.”

Shrugging, Miguel steps forward.

And so the necromancer spins the skeleton across the cafeteria—a tango that belongs in a DnD campaign. Eli giggles behind his mask.

The popular kids whisper and sneer. Demetri doesn’t care.

This is the best night of his life.

@robbykeeneslawyer I vaguely remember that you ship the nerd trio, so this is for you <3

Prompt: Gamble

Friendships: Demetri & Miguel & Eli

***

“Can I sit here?”

It’s the first time anyone has said those words to Demetri Alexopoulos since Eli Moskowitz walked up to his table in kindergarten.

No need to get excited, he realizes after a moment. The kid’s probably being sarcastic. Demetri shoots the sarcasm right back.

He’s caught off-guard by the kid’s genuinely crestfallen expression.

As he walks away, Demetri realizes this is his out. He could let the opportunity pass, stick with what he knows—just him and good old reliable Eli against the world. No new variables in the equation.

“I’m kidding. Sit.”

He’ll take a gamble.

@allvalley100

Prompt: The Grass is Greener

Friendship: Miguel & Demetri

***

“So you run away alone, to a foreign country, to find the same sketchy dad your mom has never said good things about, and you think everything will be…better?!”

Demetri waves his arms in exasperation, pacing back and forth. Miguel sighs.

“I thought it’d be better once I told him who I was—”

“Oooooh, yes!” Demetri cuts him off sarcastically. “I’m sure this shady character has only the greenest of lawns across the fence! No possible malicious intent at all! Just…” He puts a hand on Miguel’s shoulder. “Come home. You know you won’t be any happier out here.”

#allvalley100 #miguel diaz #demetri alexopoulos #demetri cobra kai #Miguetri Mondays #cobra kai #cobra kai season 4 #still in love with the idea of Demetri going into Full Lecturing Mom Friend Mode when he finds Miguel #(also dw Eli is there too!!! He just went to the convenience store to get them snacks) #(and then literally as soon as he left Demetri started waving his arms around like 'MIGUEL WHY DIDN'T YOU JUST LISTEN TO YOUR MOM DAMMIT') #it's been too long since I did a Miguetri Monday!!! #platonic this time tho

[demetriandelibinaryboyfriends]

@allvalley100

Prompt: Missed Connections

Friendship: Miguel & Demetri

***

Demetri groans, kicking another Cobra asshole away.

Of course Eli’s leading his psychotic dojo in a full-scale Miyagi Do invasion. He’s still sulking about The Mall Incident, and now the koi pond is surrounded with Cobra creeps.

A fist flies out of the crowd. Demetri ducks away just in time, and it doesn’t connect with his shoulder.

The brawling teenagers part, revealing an alarmed Miguel Diaz.

“Shit,” he says. “Didn’t realize it was you.”

They freeze mid-strike.

“Your kicks are getting better,” Miguel offers.

“Thanks! Your chokehold looks awesome.”

“I’m gonna go fight someone else.”

“Sounds good! Stay safe, dude.”

@balanceofgray come and get it friend <3

#allvalley100 #miguel diaz #demetri alexopoulos #demetri cobra kai #Miguetri Mondays #cobra kai #cobra kai season 2 #anyways I was talking with some friends about how it's kind of a shame Miguel and Demetri never ran into one another during a brawl #while still in enemy dojos #because they'd just awkwardly be like 'uhhh well I don't really wanna fight you...we still on for movie night friday?' #and then briefly compliment each other's combat skills before going to find different opponents #it would be HYSTERICAL #absolute missed opportunity
