"What are you doing here?" Kody sighed as he sat on the back porch, watching Hawk get off his motorcycle. It was dark out, the girls in the cabin but looking out the window.

"I came to see you." Hawk stated as Kody stayed sitting on the porch. "Came to say i'm sorry."

"You're sorry?" Kody shrugged. "For what?"

"For making you think I cared more about the dojo then I did you." he exhaled, he met his eye with a head shake. "I don't."

"Then leave Cobra Kai." Kody stood up now with a wild look.

"I can't abandon the dojo." Hawk defended it with a shake of his head. "Doesn't mean I don't care about you more."

"What about Demetri?" Kody pointed out with a shake of his head. "You sorry about that too?"

"What was I suppose to do?" he looked in disbelief. "Everyone was yelling at me and calling me a pussy."

"I don't know, maybe not snap your best friends arm in half." Kody defended Demetri with a crazy look in his eye. "That should have been a wake up call for you, not just me."

"He's not my best friend . You are." Hawk argued as he walked closer to him, standing under the navy blue porch lamp. Jimmys idea, naming the retreat Navy Falls, for the dark blue waterfalls near by. "I just wanted to come and win you back."

Kody bit the inside of his mouth, shrugging his shoulders. "I don't know what you want me to say."

"Say you want me back too!" he shot his way with a wild look in his eye.

"Obviously, I do!" he met his tone with a look of disbelief. "But, I don't want Cobra Kai back. And everywhere you go, it follows. You already made your decision, you wanted the dojo more. I'm trying to move on from that and you're not letting me."

"Because I don't want you to move on from it." he gave a look of disbelief. "How do you expect me to choose between my two favorite things?"

"Because one of those things is sick of not feeling good enough for you." Kody snapped at him with a defensive look. "Nothing is wrong with who I am, but I changed for your benefit. I don't wanna do that ever again. I liked myself before."

"I liked you before too." Hawk gapped at him.

Kody looked back at the cabin, facing him again. "I still don't know what you're wanting me to do. I told you, me or the dojo. You can't have both, I don't wanna deal with it."

Hawk caught his arm before he could turn away, pulling him around as he cupped his face and kissed him. Kody hadn't expected it, never from him. He obviously knew he hadn't been straight, but to want to kiss him? It was unexpected, and he wondered if only he didn't know. But, for a matter of thirty seconds, when he kissed him back under the navy porch lights, in the middle of no where, with two gapping girls inside the cabin, he forgot all about Cobra Kai, about what happened with Demetri, about Kreese, about all of it.

Hawk pulled back, but he held his face still. "That's what I couldn't tell you on the phone."

Kody gave a sad smile, his eyes casted down as his head leaned to the side some. Hawk let him go, making him look up again. "I'll let you sleep on that."

Kody inhaled, biting the inside of his mouth. He couldn't believe Hawk was playing his game on him. Kody asked him to choose between him or the dojo, now Hawk was asking him to choose him and the dojo or walk away. It was smart, but Kody should have known he was the smart kind. He turned to go in when the motorcycle went off, gapping at the empty cabin.

"Sam?" he looked around oddly. "Ali?"

The window was open.

"I always knew there was something going on with them." Alaska spoke as her and Sam laid with their heads beside each other again, jumping out the window and running off to give Kody and Hawk space. "Ever since that party."

"What party?" Sam hummed, the right side of her head was touching her left side.

"Remember when I attacked you into the pool?" she shut her eyes under the stars. "Hawk got so mad at me for talking to Kody. That type of jealousy doesn't just happen unless something is clearly going on."

"That's true." Sam agreed. "You know, Robby is sorry for what happened with you."

"I know, I forgive him." she inhaled. "Just can't necessarily forget."

"No, I totally get that." Sam agreed. "I still don't get why you shoved me in the pool."

Alaska laughed. "I don't entirely know why either."

Sam laughed as well. "I guess that's a better answer then giving one."

"You think Hawks gone yet?" she hummed, feeling tired and wanting to go curl up in bed. "You think he forgave him?"

"I don't know." Sam admitted. "I guess it's easy to forgive people you love."

Alaska thought about it. "I've never loved someone that much to forgive them."

"Never?" Sam asked.

"No, I don't think so." she shut her eyes again. "Have you?"

Sam blinked. "I don't know. Maybe."

"Getting your roots touched up for the holidays?" Kody smiled at his dads friend, Gina coming in with her.

"No." Ali gasped as she looked between Kody and Jimmy. "There's no way that's Kody."

"Feel free to check his birth certificate." Jimmy shook his head as he waved Kody over. "Kody, son, come meet my friend from high school."

"You're in high school?" Kody gapped as her. "Not that you look old!"

"No, back when I was in high school." Jimmy rubbed his shoulders.

"Look at this face." Ali held his chin with a gapping look. "Looks just like you."

"Yeah, I was more of a looker though." he shrugged, getting an elbow to the gut.

"You going over to Sam's too?" Gina asked him. "Alaska took out a ton of money to buy that girl something. No clue what it was."

"Oh, yeah, I was just gonna head over." Kody flushed in the face slightly as he looked to the blonde. "It was nice to meet you..."

"Ali." she held out her hand.

Kody laugh. "I have a friend named Alaska, I call her Ali all the time!"

"Oh boy." Gina held the bridge of her nose.

"It's okay, G." Jimmy gave her an encouraging look. "His name was almost Jonathan and we were gonna call him Johnny for short."

"Oh!" Ali laughed. "Thank god that didn't happen."

"Okay." Kody gave an awkward wave. "I'm gonna go see my friends, while you guys act weird."

"Don't forget to drop your moms dress off to her!" Jimmy called to him. "Tonight is very important. Amanda and Daniel are gonna be there too."

"So, hang on, the food channel is going." Kody pointed to his head. "You, Daniel, and Gina are gonna go hang out at a christmas party...and me, Alaska, and Sam are gonna go hang out at a christmas party."

"Woah, thinking in advanced, sweetie." Gina cheered for him.

"Aw, thank you." he held a hand to his heart.
