@taughtpain liked for an olivia rodrigo lyric starter!

"i know i should stop ... but i can't."

[valleyschamp]

@taughtpain asked: i should have listened to you from the start.

"This   is   not   your   fault,   Robby."   He   does   not   say   it   out   loud   but   for   someone   who   often   tried   to   be   so   different   to   his   father,   Robby   had   Johnny's   disposition   to   burden   all   the   pain   on   the   world   and   make   it   his   own.   "I   do   not   blame   you   for   seeking   Cobra   Kai   when   you   did.   Neither   i   do   Tory.   I   know   how   strong   it   can   be."   It   might   not   be   ideal   but   it   does   bring   comfort   for   those   who   cannot   defend   themselves   and   are   desperate.   It   offers   quick   and   fast   learning   and   a   boost   in   confidence   that   got   to   his   own   head.   How   can   he   reject   anyone   who   seeks   it   out?

  "And   I   know   you   are   off   your   game   and   I   would   be   too.   But   you   won   the   captainship   fair   and   square."   It   had   been   a   competition   and   Robby   won,   plain   and   simple.   "You   been   a   leader   twice   before.   When   we   began   Miyagi-Do,   you   and   Sam   were   there   to   help   the   others.   And   when   you   were   in   Cobra   Kai,   you   took   a   kid   in   and   taught   him.   Do   not   doubt   your   instincts."   A   hand   comes   to   pressure   upon   his   shoulder   and   let   Robby   know   he   approves   of   him   and   whatever   decision   that   is   taken   on   the   mat.   "If   it   comes   from   the   heart,   no   decision   is   bad."

"⸻  what  do  you  want  to  do  next,  sweetheart?"  a  short  pause,  as  she  places  the  breakfast  upon  the  table.  she  just  got  home  from  a  double  shift  and  the  night  classes  but  she  wants  to  make  sure  he  is  well  fed,  perhaps,  overcompensating  for  all  the  times  she  had  been  abscent  and  not  there  when  she  should've.  

green  eyes  look  over,  a  short  pause  as  she  sits  beside  him,  a  hand  cupping  and  resting  her  head  there.  "now  that  cobra  kai  is  closed  down.  you  want  to  be  with  daniel's  dojo?"  she  wouldn't  mind  that.  she  owned  daniel  a  lot  of  things  and  she  knows  robby  had  grown  so  much  under  his  teachings.  "i  mean,  are  you  ready  to  go  back  to  karate?"

"we  all  deserve  a  break.  you  more  than  most,  robby.  it  has  been  one  hell  of  a  year,  there  is  no  shame  in  being  tired  or  taking  some  time  off."

‘ i think you’re due for a haircut. ’ henry

in the warm glow of the mid-afternoon sun filtering through the open dojo doors, henry sits cross-legged on the floor, his tiny body clad in his very own miyagi-fang gi. the white belt tied around his waist feels special, like it's not just fabric but a signal that he's learning to be just like his parents, uncles, aunts & grandparents. his bright, observant eyes are glued to robby, who's practicing his kicks only a few feet away. each movement is perfect, & in henry's mind, nothing short of awesome! he watches with such intense focus that it feels like if he concentrates hard enough, maybe he'll kick just as fast, just as high, just as powerful, just like robby.

dad’s so cool, henry thinks as his little legs bounce slightly in excitement, imitating robby's form even while sitting criss cross applesauce. everything about robby amazes him. the way he moves, the way he talks, his clothes, how strong & confident he is, how much he loves his partners—henry wants to be all of that. he's only five, but he feels older when he's here in the dojo, watching his dad be a really great fighter. his mind drifts as he thinks about how he might look kicking like that, maybe even doing it with his wings out. yeah, he would look so cool, just like robby, except maybe even cooler because of his wings.

suddenly, his long hair flops over his eyes. startled, he lets out a tiny grunt & flaps his wings—just enough to blow it out of his face. but in doing so, the gust of air blows robby's clothes around, & henry feels a moment of guilt, biting his lip as he instinctively mumbles, "sorry, daddy." his wings are still something he's getting used to actually being visible to the human eye; sometimes they just do things on their own, like flap when he's happy or excited, or when his hair won't stay where he wants it to. it's very much like how his papa's wings interact with the world.

"gramma vanessa says my hair is growing lots & lots," he remembers out loud, his small voice trailing off. "so much that i'll be a big ball of hair soon." henry pictures it in his head, & it's really funny—being all hair & no face, like a fuzzy ball with wings & arms & legs. he giggles at the thought. maybe if he keeps letting it grow, he could even use his powers to keep his hair out of his eyes! that would be fun & make him even more like robby.

@taughtpain suddenly glances over at henry & replies, "i think you’re due for a haircut."

at that, henry's heart sinks a little. his eyes instinctively flick to robby's hair. but dad's hair is perfect, he thinks, his lips pressing together in a bit of sadness, his face scrunching up in contemplation. the idea of cutting his own hair doesn't feel right. his hair is supposed to look just like robby's! he can already picture himself with his hair swooped to the side, a little tousled like his dad's after training, like it is right now. he doesn't want to lose that.

"no, i don't wanna haircut," henry says, shaking his head so fast that his hair bounces all over his face. he huffs & pushes it back stubbornly with his hand. "i want to keep my hair like yours!" his small hands ball up into determined fists, his wings fluttering in sync with his emotions, & a few feathers suddenly change colors from regular black-&-white to bright yellow, showing his affection. "i wanna be just like my dad!" the words come out firmly, as if keeping his hair will somehow make him grow up faster or kick stronger, or maybe even fight better than anyone else—like his dad.

without waiting, henry hops to his feet & marches over to robby. with a tug on his pant leg, he looks up with those wide, earnest eyes. "'cause if my hair is like yours, then maybe i can kick like you, too! & then i can be the coolest boy fighter, just like you, dad & dada!" the shared title of coolest girl fighter goes to his mommy, mama, aunt dami, & aunt talia. they're so cool! he loves & admires them all so much.

in his mind, it's simple logic. hair like robby's equals being as awesome as robby. it's not just about the kicks or the moves—it's the whole look, the whole being like his dad. if he can just mirror everything, then he knows he'll be just as strong, just as cool, & just as admired as robby. also, he can protect his loved ones, just like his parents do!

A   WEIGHT   LEAVES   AS   SOON   AS   HE   SPEAKS.   It’s   walking   on   eggshells   but   she   had   been   told   after   all,   that   this   thing   will   be   a   slow   path.   but   it’s   good,   she   got   better,   still   tries   to   be   better   and   robby   is   there,   meaning,   things   can   go   back   to   the   two   of   them,   except   perhaps,   better.   she   is   clean,   she   is   getting   a   good   job.   it’s   will   be   better.   she   will   talk   to   johnny,   and   perhaps,   not   everything   has   to   be   a   close   door.   there   is   room   to   get   things   on   the   right   path.   green   eyes   shine   briefly,   nodding.      “Oh,   sweetie,   I’m   fine.   I’m   better.   Daniel   is   helping   me   get   a   real   job.   No   more   late   night   drinking   and   sleazy   guys.”   Good,   she   can’t   believe   she   used   to   do   that.  

But   she   is   the   mother   here.   She   is   the   one   that   should   be   worry,   dissapointed   she   didn’t   protect   him   more.   “How   are   you?”   The   faint   scar   on   his   forehead,   that   she   can   see,   gentle   touch   reaching   to   trace   it   and   she   looks   down.   “I.   .   .I   heard   you   are   not   doing   karate   anymore?   at   least   with   Daniel?”

QUESTIONS  FOR  THE  MUN   !

hmmm, I mean other than the stuff that everyone else is not a fan of? like the stuff that’s triggering or illegal. but I’m also not the biggest fan of spicy stuff. I just feel like I’m one, not very good at it and two, it’s just kinda weird having people read my spicy stuff on here?? it’s one of the reasons I decided to make my blog a sfw blog. other than that though, I’m a pretty big fan of the usual stuff? I love doing fluff, angst, action, pain, cute stuff, all of them. I feel like they all are good spices used to develop interactions.

“IT’S   STILL   YOUR   BIRTHDAY,   KID.   WHAT   MORE   YOU   WANT   TO   DO?“   he   had   payed   for   the   day.   bought   him   some   books,   a   helmet   for   the   skateboard,   cake,   diner.   harry   spoils   him   when   he   can,   perhaps,   a   part   of   himself   is   compensating   because   his   brother   isn’t   there   to   be   the   father   to   the   kid.   or   maybe   it’s   just   harry   loving   robby   like   a   son.   he   sits   by   the   table,   aware   that   cobra   kai   is   still   a   thing,   that   kreese   is   gone   but   that   weird   tall   guy   is   around   and   he   is   training   robby.   for   their   sake,   he   doesn’t   mention   it   often.   “just   tell   me   what   you   want   to   do.   and   we   will   do   it.   want   to   go   bowling   so   i   can   kick   your   ass?“
