Curate, connect, and discover
Ah, Robmetri. My two favorite male characters dating each other. It’s a pretty alright ship, especially when you realize how snarky both of them can be. Well, Demetri’s more bitchy than snarky but still.
I think the most likely period for this to actually happen would be in Season 2, when they start training together and everything’s relatively lax. Robby comforts Dem over the heartbreak of Hawk’s turn, they develop a deeper friendship than in canon and that naturally evolves into a relationship, yada yada.
The FUNNIEST period for this to happen though is in Season 3, after Robby gets released instead of going straight to Cobra Kai he decides he needs somewhere else to stay, so he goes to Demetri because you miss 100% of the shots you don’t take. Demetri lets him crash and suddenly, he has an emo guard dog living in his house. Eventually it evolves into a relationship from there, etc etc.
If I were to write this ship into the show, it’d be a mix of both scenarios.
But forgetting the hypothetical execution for a moment, the ship itself is good. Their dynamic would be cute and I feel like they could have common ground over a lot of things. Like, I headcanon Robby as a horror fan so him and Demetri could bond over horror games and the scarier episodes of Doctor Who (like that one with the monsters that melt people into the walls and floor).
Overall, a solid 8/10 ship
