FIERCE ALLEGIANCE
Chapter 5: What Happens In The Dark
Summary: Y/N, a Miyagi-Do student, accidentally walks into Sensei Wolf’s training room during the Sekai Taikai. She watches him train, captivated by his raw and aggressive style. When he notices her, he doesn’t mind the intrusion, and their brief exchange leaves her intrigued. As she leaves, she’s left wondering about the man behind his cold, egotistical exterior.
Tumblr media
The locker room was stifling, the heat from the match still clinging to Y/N’s skin, but none of it compared to the fire burning between her and Wolf.
Her back was against the cool metal of the lockers, her breath unsteady as his body pressed into hers. His lips moved against hers with slow, deliberate control, like he was taking his time unraveling her. And it was working.
Her fingers curled into the fabric of his shirt, pulling him closer, but he was already there, already everywhere. His hands slid down her sides, firm, possessive, leaving trails of heat along her skin. He wasn’t soft, wasn’t hesitant—he kissed her like he wanted to leave a mark, like he wanted to see just how far she’d let him go.
And she wasn’t stopping him.
Y/N let out a small gasp when his lips left hers, only to drag along her jaw, down the curve of her neck. His teeth grazed her skin before he sucked lightly, making her knees weaken. His chuckle was low, teasing, his breath hot against her throat.
“Still standing?” he murmured against her skin.
“Shut up,” she breathed, tugging his face back to hers, crashing her lips against his.
Wolf grinned against her mouth, but before either of them could take it further— “GET YOUR HANDS OFF HER!” The roar of Daniel’s voice shattered everything. Wolf barely had time to step back before Daniel was in front of them, his eyes blazing with fury.
Y/N’s head was spinning, her body still humming from the kiss, but the look on Daniel’s face sobered her fast. “What the hell are you doing?” Daniel snapped, his gaze darting between them before locking onto Wolf with pure hatred. “Are you serious?”
Wolf barely reacted, straightening his shirt with the most infuriating lack of concern. “You’re acting like I just committed a crime.” he said, his voice smooth.
Daniel’s nostrils flared. “Don’t play games with me. You—” he jabbed a finger at Wolf’s chest before looking at Y/N, his expression shifting from anger to disbelief. “And you—what the hell were you thinking?”
Y/N swallowed, her voice failing her for a second. “I—”
Daniel didn’t let her finish. “You have no idea who you’re messing with.”
Wolf let out a short, amused exhale, tilting his head. “Is this the part where you give her the overprotective father speech?”
Daniel’s fist clenched like he was one second away from throwing a punch. “Stay away from her.” “Or what?” Wolf challenged, his voice dropping, low and dangerous now.
Y/N could feel the tension crackling between them, but before Wolf could push Daniel any further, she stepped forward. “Somebody tell me what’s going on,” she demanded, looking between them.
Daniel exhaled sharply, turning his full focus on her. “I wasn’t going to tell you like this,” he said, his voice strained, “but you need to know.” He paused, glancing at Wolf before looking back at her. “He’s working with Silver.” The words landed like a punch to the stomach. Y/N’s eyes flicked to Wolf, her heart pounding. “What?”
Daniel took a step closer, his expression unreadable now, but his voice steady. “Yesterday, Johnny, Chozen, and I went to a Hotel. We had a lead— we went to check it out, and guess who we found sitting at his table?” Y/N felt something cold creep into her chest. “No,” she whispered, shaking her head slightly.
Daniel’s voice was tight with barely controlled anger. “We saw him, Y/N. Sitting there, laughing, shaking hands with Terry Silver.” She turned to Wolf, waiting—needing—him to say something. To deny it. To tell her it was some kind of mistake.
But he didn’t. He just stood there, his expression unreadable. Her stomach twisted. “Say something,” she said, her voice almost desperate now.
Wolf finally looked at her, his eyes calm but unreadable. “I don’t have to explain myself to him.” She felt like the floor had been ripped out from under her.
Daniel stepped in again. “Silver bought him, Y/N. Just like he buys everything. And now he’s using him to take us down.”
The world around her blurred, her heartbeat a loud, erratic thrum in her ears. This wasn’t real. It couldn’t be real. But the silence from Wolf said otherwise. The weight of Daniel’s words crushed her.
Y/N stood there, staring at Wolf, waiting for him to say something—anything—that would make this make sense. But he didn’t. He just watched her with that same unreadable expression, like none of this mattered. Like she didn’t matter. Her stomach twisted. She felt sick. “Come on,” Daniel said, his voice softer now, but firm. “We’re leaving.”
Y/N didn’t argue. She couldn’t. She turned on shaky legs, following Daniel out of the locker room, away from Wolf—away from whatever this was. The second they stepped into the empty hallway, Daniel stopped and turned to her. “Y/N—” She broke.
It hit her all at once, the betrayal, the confusion, the weight of what she’d just done, what she’d just felt for him. The man who had lied to her, who had been working with the one person who wanted to destroy everything she cared about.
Her chest tightened, and before she could stop herself, the tears came. Daniel barely had time to react before she was sinking into him, her hands clutching his gi, her body trembling as sobs tore through her. “I didn’t know,” she gasped. “I didn’t—I didn’t know.”
His arms wrapped around her, holding her tight, steady. “I know,” he said, his voice softer now, reassuring. “It’s not your fault.” But it felt like it was.
She pressed her face against his shoulder, trying to quiet the shaking, but nothing helped. The warmth of Wolf’s hands was still on her skin. The taste of him was still on her lips. And the worst part? Even now, after everything, she still felt drawn to him.
Little did she know, back in the locker room, Wolf stood in the doorway, watching. He didn’t move, didn’t call after her, didn’t say a word. But his jaw clenched as he watched her break in Daniel’s arms.
And for the first time in a long time, something inside him twisted. Something he didn’t want to acknowledge.
Y/N didn’t remember how she got back to the locker room. One minute, she was breaking down in Daniel’s arms, the weight of his words crushing her. The next, she was here—alone.
The room felt different now. The air wasn’t thick with adrenaline and heat like before. It was cold. Empty. She sat on the bench, elbows on her knees, staring at the floor. Her mind was a storm, looping over everything—the fight, the kiss, him.
Then she heard footsteps. Slow. Unhurried. She didn’t have to look up. She already knew. “I knew I’d find you here,” Wolf’s voice was low, sure, like he had no doubt she’d end up back in this exact spot. Her hands curled into fists. She didn’t lift her head. “Stay away from me.” He didn’t.
She heard the soft creak of leather as he stepped closer, felt his presence loom over her. He never listened. Never left when she wanted him to.
Finally, she lifted her head, meeting his gaze. He looked the same as always—calm, unreadable, like nothing touched him. But now, she saw it. That distance. That calculation. The same look Silver had.
Her stomach twisted.
Her voice was quiet when she spoke, but it cut like a blade. “Was all of that just so you could get information from me?” Her throat tightened. “So you could feed it to Silver?”
A beat of silence.
Then, finally, he exhaled through his nose, tilting his head slightly. “You think I needed you for that?” His voice was unreadable, almost amused, but there was something else buried under it. Something sharp.
Y/N swallowed, her heart pounding. “You didn’t answer the question.”
Wolf’s jaw tightened. He took another step forward, lowering his voice. “If I wanted intel on Miyagi-Do, you wouldn’t be my first choice.” The words should’ve reassured her. They didn’t. “Then what was I?” she asked, her voice barely above a whisper. “A distraction? A game?” His silence lasted too long. And that told her everything.
Her throat tightened, but she forced out a bitter laugh. “Right. Of course. I was just—what? Something to pass the time? Another stupid Miyagi-Do idiot you could play with?”
Wolf’s jaw flexed. “I never said that.”
“You didn’t have to!” she snapped, standing up now, stepping into his space like she wasn’t afraid of him—like he wasn’t breaking her apart from the inside out. “You just stood there. You let Daniel tell me who you really are. And you said nothing.”
He didn’t move. Didn’t flinch. “Because I don’t owe him a damn explanation.” Her eyes burned. “But you owe me one.”
Something flickered in his expression—brief, almost imperceptible. Then it was gone. “I told you, I didn’t need you for that.” His voice was measured, careful. “Silver has his own ways of getting what he wants. You think I had to kiss you for him? Touch you for him?” He scoffed. “I don’t work like that, ruina.”
Her stomach flipped at the nickname, but it didn’t hold the same heat this time. It just hurt. “Then why?” she demanded, her voice raw. “Why did you—” She shook her head, her breath unsteady. “Why did you make me think you wanted me?”
His expression shifted, his mask cracking just a little. “I never made you think anything.” She sucked in a sharp breath, blinking fast. “You’re a liar.” Wolf’s mouth pressed into a tight line, his patience thinning. “You don’t want to have this conversation, Y/N.”
“No, you don’t,” she shot back. “Because you know you can’t say anything that makes this okay.” His silence was deafening.
She let out a sharp, bitter exhale, shaking her head. “You know what’s funny?” Her voice wavered. “Even after Daniel told me the truth, I still—I still wanted to believe that you weren’t him.” Her throat tightened. “That you weren’t like Silver. That you weren’t just using me.”
Wolf’s expression darkened, his voice low and firm. “I’m nothing like Silver.” She let out a hollow laugh. “Yeah? Prove it.” He didn’t. He just stood there, his jaw locked, his eyes burning into hers with something unreadable—anger, frustration, something deeper. But no words came.
She let the silence stretch between them, let it weigh on her until she couldn’t take it anymore. Then, with a quiet, broken whisper, she said, “That’s what I thought.” And this time, she was the one to walk away.
---
The gym was quiet except for the sound of her ragged breathing and the rhythmic thud of her strikes against the heavy bag.
Kick. Thud. Punch. Thud. She wasn’t thinking. Didn’t want to. Her body ached, her hands stung, but she welcomed it—needed it. Anything to silence the storm inside her head.
"He’s working with Silver." "We saw them together." "You think he cares about you? Wake up." She squeezed her eyes shut. Reset. Another hit. Then— “I knew I’d find you here.” Her body went rigid.
She didn’t turn. Didn’t stop. Just launched another sharp kick, ignoring the way her pulse jumped at the sound of his voice. Footsteps. Slow. Unrushed. She heard him lean against the wall behind her, arms probably crossed, watching. “I get it.” His voice was calm, almost amused. “You’re pissed.”
She scoffed, wiping sweat from her brow. “Stay away from me.” Wolf ignored that. “You fight angry.” “I’m not fighting,” she snapped. He hummed, stepping closer. “Then what do you call this?” She spun, glaring at him. “Therapy.”
Wolf smirked, but it didn’t reach his eyes. “Right.” She turned back to the bag, ready to reset, but then— “Say what you wanna say, ruina.” The casual way he said it, like this was nothing to him, made something in her snap.
She whipped around, voice sharp. “You knew. You stood there and let Daniel tell me everything. Didn’t even try to defend yourself.” His smirk faded. “Because it wouldn’t have mattered.” “Bullshit.” She shook her head, anger rising in her throat like bile. “You just didn’t care enough to try.”
Wolf exhaled through his nose, jaw tightening. “You really think that?” “I know that.” Her hands curled into fists. “I was just—what? Some stupid kid who didn’t see what was right in front of her?” He tilted his head slightly. “Are you?”
Her breath hitched. Because the way he said it—low, even, challenging—made her question it herself. Her stomach twisted. “I don’t even know why I’m still talking to you.” Wolf shrugged. “Then leave.” She wanted to. But her feet didn’t move.
His eyes flickered over her face, something unreadable behind them. “Yeah. That’s what I thought.” She let out a sharp breath, shaking her head. “You’re such a prick.”
Wolf let out a quiet chuckle. “And you’re still standing here.” Her fists clenched. “I hate you.” Wolf’s smirk returned, but this time, it was colder. “No, you don’t.”
Her pulse pounded. Because the worst part? He was right.
--
Y/N couldn’t sleep. She tried. God, she tried.
But every time she closed her eyes, she heard his voice. Saw his face. Felt the way her pulse had pounded when he said, No, you don’t. She hated him for that. Hated that, even now, he was still right. The clock on the nightstand glowed 2:17 AM.
She exhaled sharply, kicking the covers off. Before she could think better of it, she was on her feet, moving—barefoot, quiet, down the dimly lit hallway of the hotel. Her heart was pounding, but she told herself it was just from walking too fast.
When she stopped in front of his door, her breath caught. This was stupid. So, so stupid. Her knuckles hovered over the door. Then—before she could talk herself out of it—she knocked. Silence.
Her stomach twisted. Maybe he wasn’t—
The lock clicked. The door cracked open. And then he was there. Wolf leaned against the frame, looking like he just rolled out of bed. Gray sweatpants, no shirt, hair tousled, sleep still heavy in his eyes. But when he saw her, he woke up fast.
She saw the exact second it clicked.
The way his expression shifted, sleep fading fast as his dark eyes locked onto hers. She didn’t wait. Didn’t let him speak. Didn’t let herself think.
She stepped forward, grabbed the front of his sweatpants, and yanked him down just enough to crush her lips against his. Wolf inhaled sharply through his nose, stunned for a fraction of a second. Then— He was on her.
His hands found her waist, pulling her flush against him as he kissed her back, slow at first, testing—before he felt the way she gripped him tighter, pressing up on her toes like she needed more.
That was all it took. The kiss turned desperate, feverish, all teeth and tongue and barely controlled hunger. Wolf let out a quiet, almost amused grunt against her lips as she pushed him back, forcing him further into the dark room.
They barely made it two steps before they hit the bed. Wolf stumbled, dragging her down with him. Her knees hit the mattress, his hands splaying against her back to keep her close as they sank into the sheets, lips never breaking apart.
Her head was spinning. This was wrong. A mistake. A million reasons why she shouldn’t be here crashed through her mind, each one louder than the last— And she ignored every single one.

Another fic because, why not?
@rosie-tyler thanks for the idea
"We need to get Terry Silver to believe he's won, well more so than he already has," Daniel tells Chozen in the backyard.
They are sitting by the pool having a drink.
"How do we do that Daniel-san?"
Daniel hates what he is about to say. The idea makes him squeamish, but it just might work. It might throw Terry off his game.
"I'm going to offer myself as a sensei for Cobra Kai."
Chozen looks surprised, "He won't believe you would he?"
Daniel had a sinking feeling it wouldn't matter. Not when it came to him.
Nobody knew it, well he told Chozen enough, and there was no way he was going to tell Amanda, but Terry had been secretly communicating with him. Attempting too at least, at first.
Daniel ignored the texts, the apologies, the gifts. Didn't dissuade the man though. The more Daniel pulled away, the harder Terry tried. Frankly it was all very juvenile, if it weren't for the fact Daniel knew Terry was more dangerous, especially if he felt he wasn't getting what he wanted.
He would do anything to protect his family, even sacrificing himself in order to do so. It sounded so overly dramatic, but this was his life. A full on soap opera.
"With Terry it's anyone's guess. I know he will be suspicious of course, of my motives. But I believe that he genuinely wants me to join him. He basically told me as much."
"I do not like this plan at all Daniel-san, it's dangerous, for you."
"I know Chozen, I know. Which is why we need to work fast. Once I find something to use against him, something that will bring it all down, I'm out. And you, you just protect my family okay?"
"Of course, I will protect your family with my life."
Daniel needs another drink.
He arrives when the Cobra Kai dojo first opens. Daniel drove by several times, working up the courage to go inside. He knows Terry Silver is there already. His car sits at the front. A Rolls Royce Black Badge. A car worth more than Daniel's entire yearly income plus half of Amanda's.
Terry was a level of wealthy that was dizzying.
Collecting his thoughts, focusing his mind, controlling his breathing, Daniel pulls up, and steps out of the car.
He can do this.
Fists clenched at this side, Daniel enters the dogo.
He almost laughs seeing Terry fucking Silver's face plastered everywhere. The decor is all sleek black, red, greys. Clean, flashy, but not gaudy. Except for Terry's face on some of the walls. It was a handsome face there was no denying that. A face Daniel had fantasies about when he was 18. Young and so naive.
He wasn't so naive anymore.
There isn't anyone around which makes this a bit more nerve-wracking. Having others around when dealing with Silver helped a lot with his anxiety. Being alone with Terry brought back a lot of unwelcomed feelings, and memories.
"Daniel?"
He was so caught up with checking the place out entering the main dojo training room, it gave time for Terry to walk up behind him.
Shit.
Well here it goes.
"Can we talk?"
Terry looks thrilled. Of course he would.
"Yes, of course, come let's talk in my office."
Black, crystal, glass, silver, the office is well designed. Terry gestures for Daniel to take a seat in the leather chair across from his glass desk.
"Well what do I owe the honor of your visit today Mr. LaRusso."
Oh we're being formal now? Daniel's eyebrow raises slightly hearing Terry call him Mr. LaRusso.
"I've shut down Miyagi-Do as agreed upon."
Terry has the audacity to give Daniel a pitying look.
"This must be hard for you."
Daniel scoffs, "Yeah well...look I'm really here because I want to continue teaching karate. Since...I can't back at my dojo, I thought why not here?"
He feels a tad smug seeing the look of absolute shock on Terry's face. The man was flabbergasted.
"Are you serious?" Terry asks, collecting himself.
Make him believe it.
"You told me you changed, you said Kreese was the problem with Cobra Kai, he's gone. You're in charge now. I want to see if what you said is true. I won't know unless I see it myself, that you've changed. That you won't lead the kids of the Valley astray."
Terry is smiling, before throwing up in hands, still in disbelief, "Well I...well this is quite the surprise for me. I never imagined you would ever set foot in another Cobra Kai dojo much less offer to teach here."
Just as quickly as a smile had appeared on Terry's face it was gone, replaced with a hard scrutinizing stare that made Daniel a little nervous. Well more nervous than before.
"How do I know you haven't come here to mess with me? You must have an ulterior motive."
"Mess with you? Hey that's your department remember? Not mine. If you're going to teach karate in my backyard, I need to see for myself it's not going to bring harm to these kids. That's it. No ulterior motives."
"And what if my teachings aren't up to your standards?" Terry pushes more.
"I...well we could work on that together."
Terry chuckles, still not quite believing what he was hearing.
"How about a trial run. You come, teach the students you wanna learn your Miyagi-Do style, sit in on some of my lessons. No major commitments, just to test the waters. How about we start with that?"
Daniel bits his lower lip, then answers, "Yeah I can agree to that,"
Terry leans forward, and extends his hand, "Welcome to Cobra Kai Daniel LaRusso."
Daniel forces a smile, and takes Terry's hand. Terry grips it so hard it causes Daniel to wince.
"I look forward to us working together Danny boy."
Oh there it is.
Daniel stares Terry down, but only for a second because well fuck, Terry is staring at him like he's a prime piece of meat. Looking downward, Daniel feels his cheeks begin to burn.
"You always did blush so prettily," Terry comments.
It was less than ten minutes and Terry began with the ~compliments~.
He pulls back his hand. Terry lets go, grinning, fully aware of how his comment has unbalanced Daniel. His cheeks are now very red, both with embarrassment and anger.
"If this is going to work we need some boundaries first," Daniel states trying to keep the waver out of his voice.
"What did you have in mind."
"First none of this Danny boy, second no weird...compliments, and thirdly you keep your hands to yourself."
Terry feigns offense, "Is that all Mr. LaRusso?"
Uhh, shit.
Daniel merely nods, meeting Terry's gaze once more. Don't be a coward, he tells himself.
"And here are some of mine, not boundaries, but requirements when you come into my dojo Mr. LaRusso. First you will wear a Cobra Kai gi, secondly you will not mention your family while you are here, and thirdly, if I suspect you are up to something, there will be consequences. Understood?"
How quickly this did not turn in Daniel's favor.
Steady, calm yourself, breathe, Daniel shuts his eyes briefly. Don't lash out. Don't do it.
"Agreed."
Terry is smiling again.
"Good, now let me walk you out, unless I can convince you to work out with me? For old time's sake."
He notices the way Daniel gets very rigid after he says that. Oh he knows what buttons to press. What did Daniel expect?
Oh Terry was delighted that Daniel came to him but he was no fool. Daniel was up to something. In the meantime, before he figured it out, he was going to have some fun with his Danny boy.
Terry Silver was going to make Daniel his one way or another.

They TOTALLY RUINED Chozen’s character this season 100% shame on the writers. Johnny has been trash since season 3 so that’s nothing new. Robby went through it and his dad still doesn’t care. Also FUCK the creepy Zara scene with him, gross. But Daniel was a cutie patootie as usual, and Silver was the easy highlight, he stole every single scene he was in and looked damn good doing it. What a sexy beast.
Chozen becomes slightly more palatable if you remember the fact that this guy is shown to be properly unhinged when we're first meeting him, though. He's been brought up well but that doesn't negate the fact that he walks around with two sai, just in case, when he is stone cold sober, as a middle aged man. And that is not completely off base for a man who engineered a dramatic entrance in the middle of a dance recital to fight a young tourist to the death.
Then,as now, he could be focused and collected but that guy is always three miliseconds away from going completely feral when he stops trying To Be Normal. And now, with Kumiko's rejection, he stops trying to behave. The differences between S5 and S6 are quite something. And also, more understandable when what he is dealing with is not so much rejection but gay panic. I mean why has he never tried to date anyone but Kumiko? Was she his idea of the closest thing to being with Daniel? Like, them both being in love with Daniel must be almost the same as being in love with each other and as he can't make himself love some girl and cannot be with another boy, well, what's he to do then? He'll be alone forever! The Da Eun storyline was simply written in to give her character something to do. Da Eun's purpose in story I've never understood. She spent half of S5 and S6 with a look on her face that read: what am I doing here?! Her supposed bond with Kreese also seemed rather shallow. So, and no hate on the actress there, but everything about that is going to feel off. I mean I get it from a writing standpoint, she's there, she's hot and she's Asian, so the only thing to do is get her with the Asian guy but. Well.
Why is Robby not super close with Daniel rn? Johnny still doesn't show the slightest bit of interest in him. If you hadn't been told that's his kid, would there have been any sign of a connection between the two? Also, where is his mother? Robby was written as a plot device for three seasons and then they forgot what to do with him. And Tanner plays him as completely disconnected from everyone in his life because of course, you would be, but do Sam and Daniel actually think that boy is OK? Does anyone care that Carmen's baby is his sister, or that his Dad abandoned him in the middle of the World Championships, or that his girlfriend broke up with him and he has no one to talk to? Did Johnny ever even talk tactics? Why is no one stepping up? Yeah Daniel could have tried to give Johnny and Robby some space but he must see that Johnny doesn't see the boy at all. That's his mentee! He should be there for him, when he knows how big an influence both a great and a terrible mentor can have!
But yeah. I loved both every second with Daniel and sexy beast Silver.

Okay, let me put in some of my thoughts on season 6 part 1.
On first watch, I enjoyed it. But I’m not going to lie, this season has a good amount of negative things to talk about, and that’s what I’m going to discuss below.
Feel free to add your own thoughts to this. Maybe I’m not the only one thinking this way. We’ll see.
Spoiler warning!
The overarching thing that’s been bothering me is that I miss the chaotic little karate show this started out as. Domestic, a way to honor Miyagi, and a chance to redeem Johnny. The writers were handed a lot of good things to work with, and unfortunately I think season 6 is where they’ve really failed.
First of all, Mr. Miyagi’s new backstory and plotline are pissing me off. Leave that man alone! I’m actually shocked the actors are cool with this. The spoiler of him being a good person and in earlier seasons the writers trying to redeem Kreese and Silver just isn’t sitting right with me.
Then comes the Johnny Lawrence arc that’s been failed since like season 3. First of all, he STILL isn’t stepping up for Robby. Robby won that match - won against Miguel for real for the first time EVER - and Johnny instantly goes to coddle Miguel. It makes me so angry. He fails Robby time and time again. But don’t worry, there’s a baby to make him a better parent. Like it’s a do over. Also, Johnny has regressed to being stupid, like everything he’s learned went down the drain. And they’ve made him misogynistic to Carmen (that scene where he was talking to the realtor had a weird dialogue where he talked like Carmen wasn’t a person he chose to love and honor likeee gross). They also had him step away from Eagle Fang when that’s the one thing ensuring he’s not Miyagi-Do because Johnny Lawrence ISN’T a Miyagi-Do. I’m sick of the writers pretending he can’t find balance in a more aggressive style and that Kreese has poisoned everything. That’s just not true, and we even see that with the aggression Chozen demonstrated (also Chozen just left??).
I don’t have enough thoughts collected about season 6 Daniel right now. I’ll come back to it later maybe.
Okay so this is my personal preference, but I do believe that it captures the energy of Cobra Kai more than this tournament BS. I wanted to see more of them in school with domesticity and their senior year. I’m holding out hope that we will, but it’s been overshadowed by an international karate tournament. Everything up until Silver has been about peace in the Valley and karate in the Valley, starting with TKK (aside from TKK2 having an adventure to Okinawa for Mr. Miyagi’s sake). Let’s be so for real right now. Miyagi was not a world champion fighter or championship endorser. This man was against Daniel even fighting Johnny when he was getting his face busted in. The show has lost its magic.
This is no hate to any of the actors, by the way. Especially not to Peyton List because she was amazing this season specifically.
I thought Silver never killed anyone last season because a character death would mean the balance of power was lost. It’s the same reason you don’t add guns to a show like this. People come close to death like Stingray but not all the way. It throws everything off, and it makes you stop to think about how insignificant karate is. Tory’s mom’s death if done right would have shown this.
But the creators did not show this. Her death as a plotline makes me upset because Tory was grieving so publicly, and NOBODY went after her. For that the writers suck! You’re telling me Sam wouldn’t go check on her new friend or that Robby wouldn’t chase his girlfriend or that Amanda wouldn’t try to help Tory again? I’m SO disappointed in all of them and especially in Daniel and Johnny for just going back to arguing.
The question is where they even go from here with such a significant plot point that you cannot just brush past. And even if they did open it up to conversations with Tory and helped her grieve, it would be too late. The damage is done that nobody cared enough.
And in that same vein, I know her going to Kreese is just fanservice. They could have FINALLY had Johnny care about Tory or Daniel show that he doesn’t just care about his daughter or had healthy communication with Keenry for once. But no. She’s back in Cobra Kai.
What happened to her brother, Brandon? Why is she immediately running to the person who broke her trust (Kreese) when the people at Miyagi-Fang were finally happy enough together and seemed there to support her. Everything they went through in the first four episodes disappeared. They went give her time to grieve, either. It was just an immediate “Tory’s not coming. Join us, Hawk.” Like???
Not to mention that stylistically it’s all different. It’s beautifully shot and done, but it’s not the Cobra Kai I feel like I knew. The humor is fading.
And the plotlines are being dropped mid-season. Carmen being pregnant is barely mentioned after the shower, Johnny doesn’t mention the home again, Kenny doesn’t mention Shawn again and then Kenny himself disappears, and Chozen disappeared with a scene of a Google search and that was it. I’m also upset because the time limit of these episodes leaves out a lot of moments that I think could make certain stories hit better: the binary brothers fighting, Kreese having to answer to Master Kim, learning more about Kwon, and having Devon explain why she needs this competition so badly. Additionally, the overall the shift from “oh no Tory’s mom died. Well, here are our team captains” to “welcome to Barcelona!” I didn’t know what was even happening.
And the genuine question is are they going to give a shitton of plot armor to these American kids coming to an international competition for a sport in which they’ve only trained for two years?
I want silly school shenanigans and character development rather than plot fanservice that’s only good for the first watch or two.
I need to stop watching shows created by white men istg

Do you think Terry silver was close with his mother, or closer with her than his father? I think we can all agree that terry had a strained relationship with his father, but what about his mother? Was he more of a momma’s boy when he was younger or protective of her against his father or just not close at all ? So many questions.
I think his mother was just...there, somewhere. you know?
Doesn't mean Terry Silver didn't love her, or that she didn't love him, but I imagine, that much like it is somehow commonplace in the lives of the uber and unbelievably rich, in the lives of those meant to be heirs of family companies, business, hereditary wealth, she wasn't necessarily fully and directly engaged in his education, not out of any malice, neglect or lack of desire to do so, but she just didn't, and in Terry's own words to Chozen, one of his many (implied) teachers could've been his own father, in every sense.
---
Ironic, because Chozen himself might've had a similar upbringing, molded by a despotic uncle...with a mother...well, somewhere, at some time, undoubtedly, yet nowhere to be seen or mentioned either.
Even the likes of Kim Da Eun, from what we can consider a clan of some substantial power and respectability...not a mother in sight. Sure, there must've been one sometime, alongside a father, naturally, but no, there's a despotic uncle, or a looming father figure is all we see for the young scion in Korea.
Such was the case for Terry Silver, I think.
The mother? The mother was a background presence for Terry Silver. The mother cannot raise a grown man; the mother overcoddles and raises a wimp. Terry's father didn't want a wimp. He wanted a man. And hey, in medieval times, the boys were sent away from their mothers anyway; sent away to learn a trade, be squires, soldiers, bankers, merchants, monks or to merely observe the comings and goings of grown men. In the old times, people had the right idea, Terry's father might've thought back in the 1950's. As such, Terry's boyhood routine could've been riddled with tutors, study, private lessons, music classes, learning and education as instructed by a helicopter, micromanaging father spending a fortune on 'raising Terry right' and making him as accomplished in every field as is humanly possible, which really, he did succussed on. Raising him his own way. Not to be softened and ruined by a mother. Not to be softened and ruined when Terry as a kid might've been already considered soft if his time as Twig is anything to go by. With this in mind, a young Terry's routine could've been so busy from an early age that he well...never even saw his mother much --- never had time to anymore, even though she was right there, merely down the wing of whatever estate he grew up on, leading to this acute, gaping emptiness where unconditional love was right down the corner, quite literally and Terry yearned for it all his life, and yet in not wanting to anger, fail, disappoint a father raising Terry into traditional masculinity, and as such, anger, fail and disappoint himself as his extension, Terry simply...stopped taking the steps necessary to grab that door handle leading down that corridor, in the chambered apartments where his mother lived, even though he was a mother's boy at heart. A father pleaser in actions.
No, he'd be in control of himself and his yearning for that mercy of a mother's love.
He'd be a man and learn discipline, train himself out of that desire.
But, it is obvious Terry understands the meaning of motherhood.
He gets it. He gets the impact, to the point he knows exactly how to manipulate it, decades later --- like someone who experienced the consequences on his own skin. Mike Barnes is there, pestering Daniel Larusso, a kid from a single mother household, in cohorts with Terry, who is staging a pretend rescue of the boy to get under his skin more effectively, and as undoubtedly instructed by Terry himself, who is always the mastermind behind everything, once Terry busts on scene as a would-be hero, Mike mockingly asks 'What, are you his mother?' 'Maybe', Terry answers immediately, because he understands exactly what weakness to strike and what is most likely to subconsciously influence Daniel. He gets it, because I see Terry as someone who understands profound pain and how to play it through experiencing it himself first. Nothing happened to Terry's own mother, no, I imagine. I don't think he was a child of divorce, don't think she died early, ran away, no dramatic fate befell her, wouldn't even say she was necessarily trapped in a loveless marriage with his father, no; Terry's mother was always there, but circumstances and the way he was raised inadvertedly distanced them, and in going to Vietnam, subsequently returning, travelling to Korea to train Tang Soo Do for god knows how long, immediately afterwards, moving into a more corporate, workforce oriented life with Dynatox as we see, then, dedicating himself to moneymaking schemes and martial arts as a lifestyle well into the 80's, did Terry ever even have time to be close with his mother the way he wanted afterwards? Tragically enough, I don't think so.

The Karate Kid Part II (1986)
Tumblr media
The Karate Kid Part II has just enough scenes to make it a good movie but it’s a disappointment and a major step down from the original film. Unless the latter chapters turn out to be amazing, this is the kind of sequel that belongs in a box set. You would never go out of your way to add it to your shelf but if you just happened to obtain it, you're not sorry.
Six months after the events of the first film, Daniel (Ralph Macchio) and Ali have broken up, and the karate champ is living with Miyagi (Noriyuki “Pat” Morita) while his mother works in Fresno. When Miyagi learns his father is dying, he and Daniel travel to Okinawa Island. There, Miyagi is forced to confront Yukie (Nobu McCarthy) the woman he loved but was forced to leave behind, and his vengeful old rival, Sato (Danny Kamekona).
So much of what made the 1984 film succesful was the budding romance between Daniel and Ali. To see their relationship tossed away in the first scenes of this sequel is frustrating. It doesn’t feel like an organic development at all, more of a “the actress didn’t want to come back again” hole Robert Mark Kamen had to write himself out of. The void does give Daniel the opportunity to get close to a Japanese girl named Kumiko (Tamlyn Tomita) - a relationship that parallels the one between Miyagi and Yukie - but it feels rushed. By the time they’re announcing their love for each other, you want to tell them to slow down and quit exaggerating. I mean what’s Daniel going to do? Move to Japan so they can be together?
The best scenes in Part II center around Miyagi and Daniel. Their relationship has evolved since we last saw them. Daniel trusts his mentor - though not completely, as the man is full of wisdom but devilish tricks as well and sometimes, his advice doesn’t seem to make sense. Their time together means they’ve moved on to a point where both can learn from each other. As a pair, the actors are so good and it’s a delight to see Morita in this role again. He’s a great actor, and Miyagi is a great character.
But you probably didn’t come to see a Karate Kid movie for the tender stuff. You want to know about the bad guys and the action. On the upside, this film successfully raises the stakes. Daniel isn’t fighting in a tournament where three hits means victory. He’s going up against Sato’s nephew, Chozen (Yuji Okumoto), a vicious bully who delights in abusing anyone who’s afraid of his uncle - which is basically everyone. You love to hate him (maybe not quite as much as John Kreese or Johnny, who make brief appearances at the beginning of the film) but he also has the worst scene in the entire film and it comes right at the end, single-handedly dropping this movie down at least a half star, maybe even more.
Consistently, The Karate Kid Part II is almost there but not quite. A lot of it feels a little too convenient, or manufactured. As you’re about to write it off, it’ll have a great scene between Daniel and Kumiko, or between Daniel and Miyagi, an unexpected moment of depth, or a pleasant snapshot of Japanese culture. I appreciate the way it shows that anyone - regardless of where they came from or studied - can abuse martial arts, and instead suggests that it’s those with truly “empty hands” who will learn to appreciate the strength and wisdom it provides… but I also question the reason why this movie was made.
Overall, I’ve decided to give The Karate Kid Part II a mild recommendation. It has some laughs and memorable scenes. It’s a treat to see (most) of the characters one more time and you'll appreciate the heightened stakes. The good outweighs the disappointing ending, rushed love plot and lesser story. (On DVD September 24, 2021)

.
The sekai taikai people have shown up.
Tumblr media
I love how they crash the interview for Silver and Amanda's curtsy with her karate adjacent.
Tumblr media
Johnny: We will (win) and when we do I'm going to shove that pony-tail straight up your ass (Amanda starts giggling) You can translate that.
Johnny checking on Miguel and telling him he won't force him to compete, blaming that and himself fully for Miguel running away.
Is this what fatherly advice sounds like?
K.O by Robby, whose just teasing Johnny.
SATO'S PHOTO IS ON THE DOJO WALL NEXT TO MR. MIYAGI!!!! Did Chozen bring that from Okinawa?
Johnny proving he remembers the story. Though it's not the story Daniel planned to tell.
They also showcase the abandoned warehouse. With Sam kicking a watermelon
Sam gets watermelon all over Gunther Braun. And Johnny uses a Rock reference to try and smooth it over and Gunther Braun goes all in on it, apparently Rock is his hero. Gunther Braun: Show me more. Johnny: Yes, sir.
While Robby and Sam show off their ability to balance together on the wheel, Eli leans over to the guy next to him from Sekai Taikai and starts wiggling his eyebrows. What are you doing?
What Johnny told Kreese threw him, so when Tory comes for advice Kreese tells her to do what's best for her. (Good advice)
Tory's mad at Kreese for giving up on the plan after she's gone through so much but his advice is good. Look after yourself. He is trying to do right by her.
The students are inhaling pizza faster than Amanda and Carmen can get them on the table.
I'm pretty sure Amanda's apron says LaRusso American Born Italian Made
Johnny sitting in the living room with Eli, Robby and Miguel to figure out which one wants to fight.
Miggy's little yeah I did that face
Tumblr media
Awww Robby and Miguel already talked about it and they picked Hawk.
You know what they used to call me? Twig
Tumblr media
Kenny's face lol
Silver shows Kenny the silver bullet, a move that rips the dummy and strikes with enough force between the ribs to take someone's breath away.
Mitch distracted by the girls and the smoothie bar. Hint 3 I think that he won't remain loyal.
Eli's hair is green.
Kenny seeing Robby traded sides and is now talking to Anthony pisses him off.
Tumblr media
Hate to say it, but he's right.
Silver did you pay off the ref again?
They didn't show it this time, as slowly as they did in the tournament, but Johnny says Hawk made contact in bounds.
Tumblr media
Once again Johnny is right, This is directly after the strike, Kenny isn't out of bounds.
The way the ref looks at Tory then Tory looks at Silver and realizes this game is rigged too.
Kenny grabs Hawk's leg and goes for the knee with his elbow the way once was done to Daniel and has been done a lot in this show, I think Hawk even did or tried to do it to Kenny. Kenny gets a warning for that but Eli says he's okay.
Johnny once again being the fastest to get to a student's side. Miggy's soft: Hawk?
Tumblr media
Johnny very softly leans down next to him and asks what's wrong.
Hawk struggling to breathe: I...can't....breathe. Johnny looking around shouting to ask where the medic is
the medic showing up the ref calls it a forfeit even though in the all-valley they literally get a half hour.
They help him up and Hawk leans against Johnny.
Tumblr media
It's kind of a mirror to after Sam's loss. Though eventually Daniel stops to stare down SIlver and Johnny continues with Hawk alone.
Tory realized Silver was cheating again and peaced out. Good for her.
Daniel warns Sam that they're fighting dirty and in the background Johnny is sitting and talking to Hawk who the medic is still checking on.
Devon steps onto the mat, surprised she's fighting Sam because Tory left, only to meet Johnny's gaze, seeing him rubbing Hawk's back.
One bonus of having so many sensei's is Johnny can care for his injured students and stay with them.
Tumblr media
Ref said no point for a shoulder hit. And everyone is confused because it should be because she got her below the shoulder, and she blocked the point Devon got.
If I was Silver I'd be pissed this guy kept looking at me after every bad call.
Sam has to ensure every point is completely undeniable.
I love that Johnny is cheering from the back with Hawk. One of the unnamed background dojo students puts a hand on Hawk's shoulder as comfort when Cobra Kai gets to qualify.
Our Eagle-fang/miyagi-do dojo also qualifies.
Chozen and Johnny hug...but no one hugs Daniel other than Sam, but that was earlier when she beat Devon. (She also hugged Chozen which was very sweet) (Johnny and him fist bump, and even though it looks like they're going to hug Chozen and Daniel just sort of slap each other's backs/shoulders while staying at a distance) Poor Daniel, all he's ever wanted were hugs from Mr. Miyagi and now pretty much the only one giving him hugs are his family. Y'all need to hug him some more.
Tumblr media
Like Johnny runs into join the merriment and cheer on his kids while Daniel just stands alone and stares down Silver.
Awww Johnny looking at their students then stepping forward "We are Miyagi-do" and Daniel looking at him, realizing probably how hard that was, stepping next to and in front of Johnny to say "And we are Eagle fang"
Daniel's speech is so good.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Summary of both their journeys.
Okay, Johnny and Daniel do a sort of side hug back pat after that too. I think both pleased with the other.
I like Eli telling Sam, "Maybe some day we'll both win"
Johnny has plans to take her and Rosa to dinner and a late night movie. That's cute. I love that Johnny also hangs out with Rosa and likes her, especially since Carmen's last two guys hated Rosa.
The way Johnny tells Robby and Miguel that as a way to be like you can use our place to host the celebration. The way Miguel totally gets it and just grins.
Tumblr media
Miguel trying to clean up his apartment, the courtyard is already trashed. Robby's sitting on the kitchen counter.
Tumblr media
Miguel this is too many people. How did this happen. (Poor boy's first party while his parents are out freaking out. Even though he has permission from Johnny) Moon texted a bunch of people from East Valley.
Sam ubered there.
I would like to point out, technically Sam and Miguel are broken up and she's made no notice of anything that they might be back together.
I do love that every time in this show someone tries to escape unnoticed (Usually Johnny) something keeps them from letting that happen. I.e. Sam trying to leave when she catches Miguel and a random girl kissing.
I think Chris puts two and two together when Miguel calls after her and Sam runs off in tears.
Tory coming to tell the truth about the All Valley

SOMETHING THAT DOESN’T GO UNNOTICED BY VANESSA, OLEN, JOHNNY, DANIEL, CHOZEN OR WADE IS THE LIVELY CHATTER COMING FROM—& THE HAPPINESS ROLLING OFF FROM—THE MIYAGI-DO & EAGLE FANG STUDENTS IN WAVES. thanks to amanda's, sam's, ethan's, & robby's combined efforts, daniel has a reinstated passion for karate. it's wonderful to see. ( she’s also incredibly relieved; she wasn’t sure if anything else other than this effort would have successfully worked. vanessa’s not fully sure what was said specifically, but it all turned out okay. better than okay, even. )
vanessa makes her way over to robby, lucienne & olen. the two adults are quietly talking with him over near the koi pond. olen’s expression is friendly, which is a good—great, even—sign. they hadn’t been talking about anything serious. ❝ hi robby, olen, & lucienne, ❞ vanessa greets all three of them, but she’s particularly smiling at @taughtpain. ❝ i hope i’m not interrupting anything. ❞ her eyes flash towards olen & lucienne for confirmation. the latter quickly reassures her that they were just chatting, & the interruption is fine with her—with both of them, olen adds, because they were just finishing up. ❝ i just wanted to say that i'm really happy you decided to rejoin miyagi-do, ❞ vanessa begins, her cadence warm & friendly. she places a gentle hand on the teen's shoulder, giving it a gentle squeeze.
for a few seconds, her eyes flicker towards a certain ( clearly ecstatic ) brunet standing with miguel, sam, emma, seth, paze, hawk, charlie, rhydian, calla & chase in a big circle on the grass near the fence, donning a soft smile. he’s holding paze’s hand gently, & vanessa’s smile widens as she hears him laugh at something charlie jokes about. for the first time in weeks, her son doesn’t look as weighed down anymore, not like he had ( even if there’s a new sort of haunted look in his eyes, he’s no longer locking himself away in his apartment for weeks on end, or only having auryn for company ). her other students are scattered through the dojo in their own little, broken-off groups, talking quietly with each other. ethan keeps sneaking glances at robby, & without fail, his expression goes so soft & warm. it feels like vanessa’s going to burst into putty… & it’s not even directed at her.
in her alternate life where wade’s deadpool & ethan’s kidpool, she wasn’t even sure if her younger, blonder son was capable of feeling romantic love—he’d been learning emotions, & restraint, & how to actually be human. but when he saw robby on the television screen for the first time, his eyes had widened. he immediately he’d stopped everything he was doing to fixate on the screen. his eyes never left the tv as he clung onto every word that was said, every time the camera cut to robby… she knew she was so wrong. in fact, she’s more than happy to admit she was wrong. borderline giddy, even. obviously, her older, brunet & much taller son proved her even further wrong. ( it’s the best kind of feeling, watching her son fall for & be so wholly encapsulated by his love & devotion for robby. )
❝ i can tell eth in particular is. ❞ she adds softly, then winks at robby with a slight chuckle. olen nods his head in agreement. while his dynamic with johnny isn’t at all smooth, he’s not faking his relief in the fact that robby rejoined miyagi-do, too. & he can see how happy robby makes ethan. ❝ definitely. ❞ olen adds lightly, then quickly excuses himself to go make sure that uriah & merrick aren’t going to start doing something chaotic to ruin the good mood… or pull ethan away from the circle he’s in so they can add to the chaotic shenanigans, that they’re undoubtedly going to get into together. vanessa watches olen & lucienne leave to go be with their son & student, but then her eyes are pulled away from them, & towards her son & his friends instead.
ethan has let go of paze’s hand to attempt to ruffle charlie’s hair, much to his annoyance. she watches as the two of them step a little away from the group—probably so they don’t accidentally hit anyone in their friendly scuffle. the senseis & the students watch on, smiling or egging one of the boy’s on with their words of encouragement. daniel rolls his eyes over near the dojo doors, but there’s a smile on his face. johnny barks at them to quit being so damn noisy. wade laughs out loud. vanessa already knows what’s going to happen before it does, & boy, does it: wade quickly follows in ethan’s footsteps, trying to mess up johnny’s hair, his quickness causing johnny to go on the defensive—& vanessa chuckles. like father, like son.
Tumblr media
finally, vanessa turns her attention back to robby. she carefully pulls her hand away from his shoulder, & she doesn’t look away from his eyes. her next words are quiet, so no one overhears them. ❝ um, do you know if everything is okay with..? ❞ she subtly motions towards ethan, who laughs as he successfully takes charlie down to the grass.
❝ point, wilson! ❞ he cheers boisterously, & charlie huffs. their friends laugh loudly, congratulating ethan for the calculated but swift—according to chase—takedown. vanessa feels pride swell up in her bones, but her concern for her son’s mental health is written all over her face.

Exposed (Cobra Kai story): Chapter 6
At the airport, Terry greeted Kim Da-Eun, the granddaughter of Master Kim Sun-Yung, who had brought along some of the best instructors from her dojang at his request. “Sensei Kim Da-Eun. Welcome to the Valley. How was your flight?”
“Last minute. Is Sensei Kreese not with you?” Kim asked.
“I'm afraid John Kreese is no longer with Cobra Kai. He had some legal troubles.” Terry said.
“That is disappointing to hear. You asked me to bring the best senseis my dojang had to offer. I have done so.” Kim said.
“You must be exhausted from your trip. There are refreshments in the limo.” Terry said.
Terry led Kim and the other senseis to a limo.
“Limousines and private planes. This sort of extravagance might impress your former shareholders, but it does not hold sway for me.” Kim said.
“That attitude is exactly why I wanted you to teach at my dojos. I need you to see which of my students are ready to take the next step. I'm offering you full autonomy to test my students your way. Just one of the many perks you'll have as my business partner in Cobra Kai.” Terry said.
“Your offer is very tempting, but I did not get on the plane for money.” Kim said.
“50 percent is just a number. What I'm offering you is legacy. Your grandfather didn't teach American soldiers the Way of the Fist just to use on the battlefield. We have to share his style with the world.” Terry responded.
“And you think your American students are up to the task?” Kim asked.
“I do.” Terry said.
“We shall see.” Kim responded.
Everyone got in the limo.
The limo drove down the road.
Amanda, Chozen, and Johnny were sitting at the LaRusso family’s kitchen table.
Sam was standing in front of the counter, pouring milk into a bowl of cereal.
“It has been a week. The longer we wait...” Johnny trailed off.
Chozen spoke. “We must let Daniel-san heal.”
“Chozen's right. I want to do something too, but we can't just go after Silver without…” Amanda trailed off.
Daniel walked into the kitchen.
Sam spoke in a surprised voice. “Dad.” 
Daniel’s eyes landed on Johnny.
"Johnny, what are you doing here?" Daniel asked.
"Figuring out how to make Silver pay for what he did to you." Johnny said.
"What's with the suit?" Amanda asked.
Daniel sighed. "I can't wear my pajamas to LaRusso Auto, can I?"
"You're going to work?" Amanda asked.
“Daniel-san, we need to make plans...” Chozen trailed off.
“Guys, I appreciate the sentiment. I do. But I'm out of this thing with Silver. If he wants the Valley, he can have it. I'm done with karate.” Daniel said.
“What do you mean you're done with karate?” Johnny asked.
“Must not give up.” Chozen told Daniel.
“I am giving up. Trying to go toe-to-toe with Silver was a mistake. It almost cost me my family. I'm not making that mistake again.” Daniel said.
“Daniel, we're with you.” Amanda said. “You don't have to stop fighting.”
“Yes, I do. I became a sensei to help kids. Instead, I'm making everyone's lives worse.” Daniel said.
“What are you talking about, man? You did help kids.” Johnny said.
“Want me to make a list of how many ways they're hurting because of this, including my daughter? Ask Robby how much I've helped him.” Daniel responded.
Johnny sighed.
“You know, growing up, I never understood why Mr. Miyagi walked away from a fight. But I understand now. It's not our job to fight the monsters of the world. Not anymore.” Daniel said.
Daniel walked away.
A police officer led Tory to the visitation room at the prison. “Kreese, your granddaughter's here.”
Tory sat across from Kreese. "Hi, Grandpa."
“Hi, granddaughter. How'd our little sting pan out?” Kreese asked.
“Not the way we hoped. Sensei Silver didn't even bat an eye. He has just been focused on expanding the dojos.” Tory said.
“That's unfortunate. Is there something else?” Kreese asked.
“Yeah. Mr. LaRusso got hurt because of us.” Tory said. 
Kreese chuckled. “Well, that's one enemy gone. When I get out of here, I'll take care of the other.”
“You don't care about what happened?” Tory asked.
“He was a means to an end.” Kreese said.  
“Is that what I am?” Tory asked.
“Of course not. You and I are the only ones who can trust each other.” Kreese said.
“How much longer do I have to stay at the dojo?” Tory asked.
“I know how difficult it is to be behind enemy lines, but I need you there for a little longer. I’ve got a plan to get out of this place.” Kreese said.
“You do?” Tory asked.
“Yeah. I'm going to play the good soldier, which is what I need you to do. So, do whatever Silver says, but keep your eyes and ears open. Now, he's smart, but he'll slip. And that will be the opening we need. Can you handle that?” Kreese asked.
“Yes, Sensei.” Tory said.
“Good.” Kreese said.
With Eagle Fang having closed, Devon had joined Topanga Karate. She was shocked when Terry and his entourage entered the dojo unannounced. After greeting Terry, Sensei Rosenthal informed his students that the dojo was now under new management. He was taken aback when Terry replaced him with Kim and Hyan-Woo. He argued that this was not part of the deal. Terry ignored him and addressed the Topanga students, claiming their new leadership would mold them into winners. As the Topanga students assimilated into Cobra Kai, Terry started to leave with Tory, but Kim insisted that she stay, intending to use her to test the Topanga students.
Johnny was shocked that Daniel would surrender so easily. “I don't get it. ‘No be there’ is one thing, but LaRusso letting Silver win?”
“That walking oil spill got into Daniel's head in a way I didn't think was possible. He'll come around. He just needs time.” Amanda said.
“Do not have much time. Silver's empire growing every day.” Chozen said.
“Sure, but…” Amanda paused. “I mean, the Valley only has so many kids. How many new dojos can he open?”
“He's not just opening new ones. He's taking over other dojos now too.” Sam said.
Sam pulled out her cell phone and showed Amanda, Chozen, and Johnny a video of Terry’s takeover of Topanga Karate.
“When did this happen?” Johnny asked.
“It's live. It's happening now.” Sam said.
“Perfect. I'm going to go down there and beat his ponytailed ass.” Johnny said.
“You can't march there like a one-man army.” Amanda told Johnny.
“The hell I can't. Guy's whole M.O. is hiding in the dark, waiting for us to fall into his traps. Right now, we know where he is. He's not on his home turf.” Johnny said.
A modus operandi, commonly abbreviated as M.O., was a term used to describe an individual’s or group's usual way of doing something. It was a Latin term, roughly translated as “mode of operating.”
“Chozen, please say something to him.” Amanda pleaded.
“Amanda-san is right. One-man army not good.” Chozen said.
“Thank you.” Amanda said.
“I come with you.” Chozen said.
“That's not what I meant.” Amanda said.
“You do know this isn't some kata competition, right?” Johnny asked Chozen.
“Hai.” Chozen said.
“Is that a yes?” Johnny asked.
Chozen sighed.
“I don't understand how this is going to help Dad.” Sam said.
“I don't know, Sam. At this point, I'm not sure what will.” Amanda said.
At the prison, a group of inmates mocked Kreese about his age and stole his lunch. The leader of the group told Kreese that he would give him his Jell-O from now on.
Kreese was in a therapist’s office.
The therapist’s name was Emily Folsom.
Emily was holding a notebook and a pen.
“One thing that really surprised me was how easy it was to get along with all the other men.” Kreese said. 
“Is that so?” Emily asked.
Emily wrote something in her notebook.
“I didn't realize you were making friends in here.” Emily said.
“Yeah, well, I make friends pretty easily. I find that a little kindness goes a long way.” Kreese said. 
“Mmm. I'm happy to hear that you're doing well with the others. Not all prisoners your age have the same experience. They're usually easy targets.” Emily said.
Kreese chuckled. “Well, I'm made of stronger stuff. You could throw me right through a window, and I wouldn't even get a scratch. Emotionally speaking, of course.”
“Of course.” Emily said.
Emily glanced at the clock on the wall.
“Oh, looks like our time is up.” Emily said.
Kreese chuckled. “Oh, we were just getting into a groove. Well...Thanks, Doc. I really enjoy our time together.”
“Me too. You're not just sweet-talking me to get a good recommendation, are you?” Emily asked.
“Oh, of course not. I just find these sessions so very helpful.” Kreese lied.
At the Topanga dojo, Kim ordered the students to pair up and practice their knife-strikes. Devon found herself without a partner and had to practice her knife-strikes on a training dummy. When Tory walked by, Devon told her to keep walking. Tory observed her poor technique and told her she would break her hand if she hit someone like that. She showed Devon how to do a proper knife-strike. 
“Why are you in that gi? Don't think you have what it takes to join Cobra Kai?” Tory asked.
“I'm still deciding whether your dojo has what it takes to earn me.” Devon said.
“Guess you forgot who kicked your ass at the tournament.” Tory said.
Devon scoffed. “Please. That ref was blind. He gave you a point when I was out of bounds.”
“Why are you here?” Tory asked.
“My mom always said the only way you really lose is by giving up.” Devon said.
“Sounds smart.” Tory said.
“She was.” Devon said.
Tory was sympathetic. “I'm sorry.”
“For what? You didn't do anything. I'd love to kick cancer's ass, though.” Devon said.
“Yeah. I know how you feel. But you have to take all that anger and put it into your fist.” Tory told Devon.
Kim decided to end the exercise.
Kim yelled something in Korean. It translated to “Stop.”
“I have seen enough. You have used your strength to train each other. Now you will use your strength against each other. Nichols, get them ready.” Kim ordered.
Johnny and Chozen were in a parking lot.
Johnny was holding a bottle of beer. 
“You didn't have to come. I can handle this.” Johnny said.
“Not likely. Silver very dangerous.” Chozen said. 
“Yeah, I know. I'm ready for him. I can be dangerous too.” Johnny said.
Chozen chuckled. “Daniel-san told me how dangerous you can be.”
“Did he mention how I kicked his ass back in high school?” Johnny asked.
“I robbed him while he was on date.” Chozen said.
Johnny smirked. “Oh, yeah? I pushed him down a cliff.”
Johnny took a sip of his beer.
Chozen spoke dramatically. “I fight him to death!”
“Oh, yeah? What are you? A ghost or something?” Johnny asked.
Chozen chuckled.
“No. Daniel-san showed me mercy.” Chozen said.
“Yeah, sounds like LaRusso. Man, he was such a twerp back then.” Johnny said. 
“Real pain in ass. But he always fight for what he believe.” Chozen said.
“He never backed down from a fight, even when he should have. A few months ago, I saw him take on an entire hockey team. Five-on-one. He beat 'em all.” Johnny said.
“I saw him save young girl from typhoon.” Chozen said.
“He took a man down with a single strike to his pressure point.” Johnny said.
“Who do you think teach him that?” Chozen asked.
Johnny and Chozen arrived at the Topanga dojo.
“We're here.” Johnny said.
Through the window, Johnny saw Devon training alongside the Cobra Kai students.
“Devon? What the hell?” Johnny asked.
Johnny was about to walk into the dojo, but Chozen stopped him.
“What are you doing?” Chozen asked.
“One of my students is in there.” Johnny said.
“Not here for student. Here for Silver. Must wait for right time. Run into den of lions, you will get eaten.” Chozen said.
“Fine. We'll wait.” Johnny said.
At the prison, Kreese received a letter saying that his petition for early release had been denied.
Kreese walked into Emily’s office.
“Doc! I just got a letter from the warden. I think something went wrong with your recommendation.” Kreese said.
“Really? It felt accurate to me.” Emily said.
Kreese chuckled. “Yeah, but you're recommending against my petition for early release. Why? I thought we were making great strides.”
“John, cut the crap.” Emily told Kreese.
“Excuse me?” Kreese asked.
“You think this is my first day? I know the difference between a breakthrough and saying what I want to hear.” Emily said.
“I had no other option. The court assigned me some bullshit attorney who was in over his head.” Kreese said.
“If you want to get out early, you really need to think about why you're here in the first place. I'm free all morning tomorrow if you'd like to chat. That should be plenty of time for us to dig deep.” Emily said.
At the Topanga dojo, Kim devised a new exercise for Tory and Devon: placing a piece of bamboo on a table and telling Tory to use any means necessary to stop Devon from taking it. When Tory failed to do, Kim chastised her for holding back and demanded that she try again. Although Tory successfully thwarted each of Devon's attempts thereafter, Kim ordered her to strike Devon harder each time, ultimately leaving Devon crumpled on the mat. After Kim dismissed the class, Devon ran out of the dojo in humiliation.
A petulant Kreese was in Emily’s office. His arms were crossed.
Emily was sitting across from Kreese. She was holding her notebook and pen.
“All right, enough of this. You're sitting here sulking like a kid who got in trouble in class.” Emily said.
“What do you want me to do? Cry into a tissue?” Kreese retorted.
Emily spoke derisively. “I thought you were a sensei.”
“I am a sensei,” Kreese growled.
“Then act like one! Look, I'm not here to scold you. I'm here to help. I believe that deep down, you're a good man. I don't believe that you were always this violent a person.” Emily said.
Kreese was shocked that Emily called him a good man.
Emily transformed into Betsy.
Betsy was Kreese’s girlfriend before he was drafted for the Vietnam War.  
“I think something happened in your past,” Betsy said kindly.
Kreese was shocked to see Betsy. He leaned forward and spoke softly. “I did lose someone. Years ago.”
“Who was she?” Betsy asked.
Kreese smiled sadly. “The love of my life.”
“I'm sorry to hear that, John. Where were you when it happened?” Betsy asked.
Kreese frowned. “Overseas. Her death allowed me to do what I had to do.”
Betsy transformed into George Turner.
George Turner was Kreese’s commanding officer during the Vietnam War.
George sneered at Kreese. “Whatever it took to save yourself.”
“Don't judge me like those long-haired hippies. It was war!” Kreese yelled.
George looked at Kreese in disdain. “Oh, but that violence followed you home. I read your file. After Vietnam, you became a sensei, opened a dojo, taught kids how to fight.”
“I taught them to be strong! To take the anger they feel and turn it into power!” Kreese yelled.
George burst into laughter.
“I’ve had enough of this!” Kreese yelled.
Kreese got out of his chair and walked towards the door.
“What an interesting choice of words.”
Kreese turned around and saw that George had transformed into Terry.
“Take the anger they feel. Do you feel angry, John? At who?” Terry asked.
Kreese walked towards Terry.
“The people that put me in this cage!” Kreese yelled.
“But you did this to yourself.” Terry said.
Kreese leaned down and looked into Terry’s eyes.
“Don't be ridiculous. None of it is my fault. I did nothing wrong!” Kreese yelled.
Terry transformed into Tory.
“So, you don't feel any regret?” Tory sounded disappointed.
Kreese took a step back.
“Regret?” Kreese asked.
Kreese sat across from Tory.
Kreese appeared to be deep in thought. “Tell me…What exactly am I supposed to feel regret for?”
Tory transformed into a teenaged version of Johnny.
“The people you've hurt.” The teenaged version of Johnny said.
Because of his affection for Johnny, which was buried deep inside of him, Kreese appeared to regret his actions.
Kreese’s eyes were locked on the teenaged version of Johnny. The teenaged version of Johnny was looking at him in disappointment.
“I wasn't trying to hurt anyone. I was trying to make my students tough.” Kreese said.
The teenaged version of Johnny looked at Kreese scornfully. “You wanted them all to be like you.”
Kreese shook his head. “No. I wanted them all to be better than me.”
The teenaged version of Johnny transformed into present-day Johnny.
Present-day Johnny smiled, as if to say Kreese had a breakthrough.
Present-day Johnny transformed into Emily.
“I know you can be better than the person you've become. He's locked inside you. Somewhere deep.” Emily said.
Emily transformed into Kreese’s younger self.
Kreese’s younger self smiled. “You just have to find him.”
Kreese looked grateful for his breakthrough. He smiled at his younger self.
Johnny and Chozen walked into the Topanga dojo and found themselves pitted against Hyan-Woo. They struggled individually, but they managed to overcome Hyan-Woo together.
Kim arrived with the rest of the Cobra Kai senseis.
“Enough! You must be Chozen Toguchi. Far from your pathetic little island, aren't you? And I'm surprised to see Daniel LaRusso has healed from his injuries so quickly.” Kim said.
“What? I'm not Daniel LaRusso. I look nothing like him.” Johnny said.
“Silver must answer for what he has done,” Chozen growled.
“You bark like your blond dog.” Kim said.
“I do more than bark, trust me.” Johnny responded.
“You wish to fight?” Kim asked.
“Joon-bee.” Kim told the other Cobra Kai senseis.
The other Cobra Kai senseis stood with their fists by their sides.
Johnny appeared eager to continue the fight.
“Too much advantage. Their dojo. We fight when time is right.” Chozen told Johnny.
Johnny looked at Kim. “We're not going to let you take the Valley.”
“We already did.” Kim said.
“You think you did.” Johnny responded.
Chozen and Johnny walked out of the dojo.
Devon arrived at Cobra Kai’s flagship dojo. She was wearing a black long-sleeved gi with the Cobra Kai symbol on the back. She told Tory that she beat her on the mat but she only lost if she gave up. Terry informed Tory that Devon reached out to him after class the previous day and asked to join Cobra Kai, intending to learn more from Tory. 
“She failed the test. She ran away.” Tory said.
“The test was not for her. It was for you. I wanted to see how much strength you had in your heart to accomplish what you need to do.” Kim said.
“And what's that?” Tory asked.
“Something greater than you could ever imagine.” Terry said.
Amanda, Sam, Johnny, and Chozen were in the LaRusso family’s kitchen.
Chozen spoke. “It is obvious Silver has plan.”
Johnny spoke. “Now he has these international ringers. Son of a bitch refuses to fight fair.”
Chozen spoke. “All have trained under Silver's master, Kim Sun-Yung. I defeated six senseis from Valley by myself. It took two of us to stand against just one.”
Johnny spoke. “Still think we could have taken 'em. Give me nunchucks, and it's lights out.”
Amanda held up her hand. “Okay, let's take a breath before we start entertaining assault with deadly weapons. Chozen, you're still new around here, and no offense, Johnny, but strategy isn't exactly your forte. You're more of a...Blunt instrument.”
Johnny took Amanda’s words as a compliment. “Thank you.”
"If we're going to mount a resistance, we're going to need Daniel to lead it." Amanda said.
"You heard him. He clearly doesn't want to fight anymore." Johnny said.
"I thought I was done fighting too. But I was wrong. I thought the same as Dad. I felt like karate just made everything worse for everyone. I've even got the scars to prove it. But years from now, if my scars have faded, the lessons that I learned, Mr. Miyagi's lessons…” Sam paused. “They’ll be more powerful than the first time I put on a gi. Dad was right. Mr. Miyagi avoided a fight whenever possible. But he also fought when he had to. And if he were here right now, I think he would tell Dad that this a fight we can't walk away from."
"Well, Daniel may not have Mr. Miyagi to rely on anymore, but he has us." Amanda said.
At the prison, Kreese was reading in his cell. The door opened. The group of inmates who had mocked him for his age wanted their Jell-O cups. The leader of the group punched Kreese, knocking him down. Kreese stood up. He delivered a vicious beating to the group as the rest of the prisoners cheered him on. Having successfully taken back his power, he ordered the leader of the group to give him his Jell-O from now on.
Amanda parked her and Daniel’s car in front of Mr. Miyagi’s house.
"What are we doing here? I thought we were heading home." Daniel said.
"Uh, we just have to make a quick stop." Amanda unbuckled her seatbelt. "Come on."
Daniel sighed before unbuckling his seatbelt and following Amanda into the house.
Amanda led Daniel to Mr. Miyagi’s room.
"Amanda, I can't go in there." Daniel said.
Amanda rubbed Daniel’s arm. “Hey. It's okay. You're hurting right now. But I want you to heal. And I'm right here.”
Daniel sighed.
Daniel walked into the room. Amanda followed him.
"It's like a time capsule in here." Daniel said.
"The night before we got married, I was so nervous. I came here to see Mr. Miyagi. He sat down, poured me a cup of tea…And some saké." Amanda said.
Saké was an alcoholic beverage of Japanese origin made by fermenting rice that had been polished to remove the bran.
Daniel chuckled.
"And we talked about you. He loved you so much, Daniel. He said, 'Amanda-san, in life, always easier to hide head in sand.' He told me you could be a bit of a handful sometimes. That you would always fight for what you believed in. And there was nothing you believed in more than your family and friends. And what I believe in now is standing up to Terry Silver. It's the right thing to do for you, for me, for our family. Sorry it took me so long to realize." Amanda said.
"That means the world to me, Amanda. But what if standing up to Sliver just make things worse again? Every time I try to fight for what's right, somebody gets hurt. I can't fail these kids again." Daniel said.
Robby and Sam walked into the room.
"You didn't fail me. Sam and my dad told me and Sarah what was going on. You know, when you met me, I was a messed up kid. But you gave me a job. And a home. And a purpose. You can't just give up.” Robby told Daniel.
Amanda walked out of the room.
Daniel walked towards Robby and Sam.
“Robby, the things I did…Juvie…I was…I was just trying to help you.” Daniel said.
"No, I'm…I'm sorry. I should have listened to you about Cobra Kai. But I didn't understand until I started mentoring someone myself. Now Silver has a hold on this kid. There are some others in there I care about too…And…Uh, we need to stop Cobra Kai. But we can't do it without you, Sensei." Robby said.
Daniel and Robby chuckled.
"Dad, not everyone has someone like you to protect them and teach them. It's time that all of us join this fight." Sam said.
"All of us?" Daniel asked.
Sam and Robby led Daniel to the backyard. Daniel’s eyes landed on the Miyagi-Do students, the Eagle Fang students, Amanda, Johnny, and Chozen.
"You're not alone anymore." Sam said.
"So, what do you say, Mr. LaRusso? Will you fight?" Sarah asked.
Sarah was wearing a red t-shirt with horizontal white stripes, light blue denim jeans, and red low-top Vans sneakers with white laces. Her naturally straight blonde hair was down. She had on a light amount of black eyeliner, a light amount of black mascara, and soft brown eyeshadow. Her lip balm was a pretty peach colour.
Daniel glanced at Amanda, the Miyagi-Do students, and the Eagle Fang students. Amanda, the Miyagi-Do students, and the Eagle Fang students bowed. Daniel looked at Johnny and Chozen, who nodded. Daniel, Johnny, and Chozen bowed.

FIERCE ALLEGIANCE
Chapter 1: Where the Air Holds Its Breath
Summary: Y/N, a Miyagi-Do student, accidentally walks into Sensei Wolf’s training room during the Sekai Taikai. She watches him train, captivated by his raw and aggressive style. When he notices her, he doesn’t mind the intrusion, and their brief exchange leaves her intrigued. As she leaves, she’s left wondering about the man behind his cold, egotistical exterior.
Tumblr media
The Sekai Taikai tournament was a battlefield, and Y/N knew it all too well. As a student of Miyagi-Do, she had been prepared for the intensity of the competition, but nothing could have fully prepared her for the simmering energy that came with facing the Iron Dragons—the reigning champions. The pressure was palpable, even as the other dojos warmed up, preparing for their matches.
Y/N stepped away from the buzzing crowds, looking for a moment of peace before her own fight. Her mind was a blur of strategy, focus, and nerves. She needed space to breathe, to clear the tension building in her chest. As she walked through the hallways of the arena, she caught glimpses of her senseis—Daniel LaRusso, Johnny Lawrence, and Chozen Toguchi—speaking with other competitors, their eyes full of determination. Each of them had trained her differently, but together they had prepared her for this moment. Her teammates, Hawk, Demetri, and the others, were scattered throughout, doing their best to stay focused as well.
Despite the strong bond she shared with her dojo, Y/N felt isolated for a brief moment. It wasn’t fear; it was something else—a sense of being on the edge of something bigger. Miyagi-Do had its philosophy, its values, but facing the Iron Dragons was a new kind of challenge. A test that went beyond just karate—it was about strength, resolve, and the will to win.
She wandered the corridors, past doors marked with dojo names, before spotting an unmarked door. It was cracked open, and the quiet darkness inside beckoned her. Figuring it was an unused space, she stepped inside, only to freeze when she saw him.
Sensei Wolf.
His back was to her, his body moving with an almost predatory grace as he struck the punching bag. The room was dim, with only the light from the hallway filtering in, casting long shadows across his sculpted frame. His movements were sharp, deliberate—each strike landing with the intensity of a man who had spent years perfecting violence.
Y/N swallowed, not knowing whether to turn and leave or to stay. But before she could make a decision, he spoke.
"Lost, huh?"
His voice was low and almost amused, without turning around. The tone was familiar, as if he knew exactly who she was, though she had never seen him up close before. And yet, there was something about him—something that drew her in despite every instinct telling her to walk away.
“I didn’t mean to intrude,” she muttered, feeling her face flush as she stepped back toward the door.
Wolf finally turned, his dark eyes locking onto hers for the briefest moment. A fleeting smirk appeared on his lips before he returned to his practice, as if she were nothing more than a passing distraction. “You didn’t,” he said, his voice carrying an edge. “But now you’re here.”
Y/N hesitated, caught between wanting to disappear and wanting to understand more. She didn’t belong in this room, in this space that seemed to belong to him and him alone. But something about the way he moved, the power in every strike, pulled her in.
The tension in the air grew thicker as she stood there, watching him. The silence between them was heavy, charged with something unspoken. She couldn’t look away.
Just then, the door behind her opened, and she heard the familiar voices of her Miyagi-Do teammates. Hawk, with his trademark confidence, followed by Demetri’s usual anxious energy. They had clearly been looking for her.
“Y/N?” Hawk called out, seeing her standing in the doorway. “You okay?”
Y/N quickly straightened up, pulling herself out of the trance-like state Wolf’s training had put her in. “Yeah, just—lost track of time,” she muttered, feeling embarrassed. Hawk raised an eyebrow but didn’t press the matter further.
Demetri, always the curious one, peered around her into the training room, eyes widening when he saw who was there. “Sensei Wolf?” he asked, his voice faltering slightly.
Wolf stopped mid-punch, turning to look at the group of Miyagi-Do students. He didn’t show any sign of surprise, though his expression remained as cold as ever. “You’ve found me,” he said, his voice almost taunting. “It’s a shame the same can’t be said for your dojo’s chances in this tournament.”
The words hung in the air, but Y/N could see the quiet smirk on his face, the way his eyes gleamed with challenge. He had no respect for their dojo, and in that moment, she felt the weight of that disdain. But instead of answering, she simply turned to her friends.
“Let’s go,” she said softly, the unease lingering in her chest. She didn’t want to engage with Wolf any longer, but part of her also felt like she hadn’t even begun to understand the enigma that was Sensei Wolf. She wasn’t sure if she ever would.
As they left the room, Y/N couldn’t shake the feeling that this was just the beginning. The Iron Dragons were more than just fierce competitors; they were a force—one that was ready to do whatever it took to win.
As they left the room, Y/N felt a sudden chill on the back of her neck. She turned slightly, almost instinctively, only to find Sensei Wolf’s eyes still on her. His gaze cut through the air like a blade, sharp and unwavering.
She froze for a heartbeat, his intense stare locking with hers from across the room. There was something unreadable in his eyes—a challenge, a warning, maybe even something darker—but it was too quick to decipher.
The silence between them felt heavy, thick with unspoken tension. Y/N felt the weight of it like an invisible rope pulling her back toward him. The rest of her teammates were already stepping down the hallway, oblivious to the charged moment that passed between them.
Without breaking eye contact, Sensei Wolf gave a subtle, almost imperceptible nod, as if acknowledging her presence in his space. It was a silent acknowledgment of something deeper, a challenge yet to be faced. Then, he turned back to his training, the sharp sound of his punches reverberating in the silence.
Y/N swallowed hard, heart pounding as she turned away, forcing herself to walk down the hall with the others, but the feeling lingered.
--------------------------
A/N: This was in my drafts for too long , so all my sensei wolf girlies, this is for you <3

Part 2 ! Daniel joins Cobra Kai at the end of S4, beginning to S5. Instead of sending in Chozen, Daniel joins hoping he can find dirt on Terry Silver and bring the man down. Unfortunately things do not go as planned. Trouble at home puts his whole plan at risk. Part 1 here! Fic can also be found on A03
Chozen gives Daniel an apologetic look. He tried, he really did! But Amanda got the truth out of him of where Daniel was. 
Amanda was FUMING. 
"What the Hell were you thinking Daniel? Joining Cobra Kai to spy on Terry Silver? That, that sounds INSANE!" 
Daniel cringes, biting his lower lip before answering, "Look Amanda I know it sounds crazy, trust me I do. You don't know Terry Silver like I do, he's dangerous. He will do so much harm to any kid that joins, I just know it. And I can stop him."
Amanda is looking at her husband as if he grew another head, "He's not...some Bond villain or something! Jesus Daniel this is over karate!?! No, no it's worse than that, it's personal isn't it?" 
He really didn't want to tell Amanda, God he really didn't want to hear himself say it. The things Terry Silver brought out of Daniel, then leading him like a lamb to the slaughter to be attacked by Mike Barnes, taunted by Kreese, all while Terry stood aside, letting it happen. No not letting it happen, encouraging it! He orchestrated it for Kreese. Every good moment shared between Daniel and Terry, the camaraderie, the jokes, laughter, the touches, the gazes that lingered too long, the compliments, the way Terry made him feel like he was the only person who mattered in the whole entire world when they were together had been a lie! 
That wasn't entirely why he had such a visceral reaction seeing Terry again. Terry may have made him feel strong, and powerful but at the expense of everything that made Daniel who he was, or saw himself. Noble, honorable, kind, compassionate. Terry twisted all that too. Kept pushing him beyond his limits, sparking Daniel's anger, and hot-headedness, rather than control it, find balance like Mr. Miyagi taught me. Anger, and hatred for those they deemed weak and less than were the values taught at Cobra Kai. Strike First, Strike Fast, No Mercy. The strong defeat the weak. 
Mr.Miyagi taught and believed karate was for defense, defend the weak. It was for protection, to stop more violence, to stop more harm, not increase it, not revel in it. The philosophies couldn't be more different. The idea of Terry Silver influencing the minds of dozens, hundreds of kids in the Valley, and beyond, knowing Terry Silver he wouldn't stop at the Valley. Letting such poison spread in a world where there was so much other awful shit being taught to kids made Daniel furious. If he nipped this in the bud, before it got bigger, it was the least Daniel could do. His contribution in making the world a little less shitty. 
It just also so happened Terry Silver broke Daniel's heart, leaving him confused about his sexuality, about what he wanted, who he was, that it took years to untangle the mess in his head that Terry had made. That did motivate Daniel, he couldn't deny that.
But how could he explain that to Amanda? They met after he sorted himself out, thought he had sorted himself out. 
"I won't deny that what he did to me isn't a part of why I'm doing it, but it's not the main reason. Amanda if Cobra Kai's teachings spread, we're going to have kids who think being callous, violent, and believe the weak deserve to be destroyed, stepped on, whatever is justified, then they'll become adults with the same ideals. There's so much bad shit in this world, and I can't do much about most of that, but I can try to stop this. Cobra Kai will turn good kids into monsters. Look at what almost happened to Johnny!" 
Amanda sighs, she's not an angry as before, but she's still far from being on board.
"This shouldn't be your fight Daniel. And how much time will this take away from us being a family? It's summer for Christ's sake, we should be enjoying ourselves not playing spy on some evil karate club." 
"Terry gave me one trial week, so after that, I can keep it as low as a couple sessions a week, I promise this won't affect our time together. I won't neglect out family over this. Please just let me try."
"And what if Silver finds out about your plan?"
"Only myself, Chozen, and you know about this. If things get too ugly, out of hand, I'll leave. I swear it." 
Amanda is mollified for now, but not happy. 
"Fine! But if this in anyway affects our family, if any of those Cobra Kai brats so much as look at our kids funny, it's over Daniel. I won't let any harm come to our kids with this karate nonsense. Got it?"
"Yes of course, it's why Chozen is here, to help, but also to make sure you and the kids are safe."
"That's what worries me Daniel, that you think we need extra protection."
Daniel sighs, his head is throbbing, "It's a precaution." 
That night Amanda tells him to sleep in the spare guest room. Sam notices the tension right away the next morning. 
"Is everything okay dad, mom seems pissed off about something, or just at you."
"We're fine honey, don't worry. Enjoy the summer break, have fun with your friends." 
"And what about Miyagi-Do?"
"Give me time, we'll get it back in no time, I promise it's not gone for good." 
Daniel stares down at the Cobra Kai gi. All black with the logo on the back of the cobra. Oh God he is really doing this. Amanda finding out was terrible, but he hoped he'd spare Sam from seeing her dad do this. Taking a deep breath, Daniel puts it on. 
He immediately feels the burning gaze of Terry Silver the moment he steps out of the changing room for the sensei's. Thankfully as stated before, there are no off-putting compliments. Yet. 
"The kids will start arriving soon. I will introduce you, and let them decide if they want to study your defense techniques." 
"Sounds good to me." 
Daniel tries looking everywhere but Terry, unfortunately he can't keep avoiding the man, and looks up. Terry is smiling before he rakes his gaze up and down Daniel's body, not even attempting to hide the hunger behind his eyes. Daniel hopes he can keep his face from turning red. Scurrying away, Daniel goes over to a corner and does some stretches. All the while continuing to feel Terry's hungry eyes on him. 
The dojo had several open spaces with dividing walls but otherwise was fairly open. It allowed for more than one class or session to be taught simultaneously, or allowing students to break off and practice at different work-out stations. There was even a room solely dedicated to weight training and cardio, with several exercise bikes. It was a top dojo slash gym. And Daniel didn't even know half of it. He had yet to be taken to the sauna, and small swimming pool which were tucked in the back of the building. Terry had made sure his dojo had it all. Everything one could want. 
When students and the other sensei's began to arrive, Terry introduced the other sensei's to Daniel. A women named Cordelia, three guys, James, Kaleb, and Chris. Daniel was polite, but he wasn't here to make friends. Terry had selected these four out of numerous candidates he had tryout for the jobs he explained to Daniel as the sensei's rounded up the arriving students into their appropriate class. Beginners were split aka the white belts, from those with colored belts. Each belt or kyu and their respective color represented each students proficiency and skills within karate. Black belts being at the very top. All the sensei's here had one including Daniel. 
Likely these four were the most ruthless and strong out of all those that applied Daniel surmised.  Terry continued explaining to Daniel, the man loved to talk, how he had them do rigorous training, before competing against each other in sparring matches. Only the winners of each match were chosen until all but four remained. Further more, Terry had them ranked from #1 to #4. 
"It keeps things competitive, and them on their toes. Who doesn't wanna be number one right?" Terry says, sounding proud of his logic. 
"Not everything is about winning," Daniel counters. 
Terry smiles and shakes his head, "Of course not, but it sure makes life more enjoyable being the best and on top."
Yeah of course the billionaire believes that, Daniel thinks, it's that way of thinking that's destroying this whole goddamn planet. 
"Well come, the kids are ready. Let's see how many students you get tonight Danny, I mean Mr. LaRusso," Terry grins. 
Surprising there are a few students, some with white belts, some with colored belts that join Daniel over to their assigned corner. The students that Daniel recognizes from Kreese and Johnny's Cobra Kai, including the Tory girl avoid him. For the best probably. He is surprised not to see Robby here but lets that be, for now. 
They listen well, and he begins with the basics for the white belts, and then shows some more complex katas, and defensive techniques to the others. For a while, Daniel forgets where he is, and why he is there. For a moment he even forgets about Terry Silver who thankfully is preoccupied himself. 
And then it's all over. Some of the kids go back to change, others linger, using the other training equipment, others rush out into waiting cars of their parents. 
Having worked up a a sweat, Daniel takes a towel from the towel rack to do a quick wipe down before he leaves himself. If only it was that easy. 
"I haven't given you a full proper tour have I?" Terry says approaching Daniel from behind. 
He must love sneaking up on me, Daniel grumbles internally. 
"No but look, Amanda is expecting me home right after," Daniel says.
The coldness that descends across Terry's face at the mention of his wife chills Daniel. Yeah he said he wouldn't mention his family while at the dojo, but fuck that. 
In a petty manner he corrects himself, "I'm expected elsewhere sorry."
"It will only take a minute," Terry isn't one to take no for an answer. 
Remember appease him where we can, get him to lower his guard, Daniel reminds himself. 
"Fine, make it quick."
Daniel is impressed by the showering facility, the hot pool, and sauna. 
It isn't free to use by all students Daniel learns. Only the students worthy of it, can get access keys. Only himself, the sensei's, and now Daniel have an access key.
When Terry hands it to him, his fingers very obviously brush against Daniel's. 
"Feel free to use the facilities when ever you want," Terry says, smirking. 
Yeah he was not about to naked naked or semi-naked around Terry Silver. 
"I'll keep that in mind." 
"I hope you will. I find a good soak then steam relaxes the muscle after a good work-out. We're getting up there in age, not as spritely as we once were eh? I also have my own private masseuse if you ever need a proper massage."
Ugh.
"Thanks." 
Terry is suddenly looming over Daniel, "I mean it Daniel. Everything here is at your disposable, including myself." 
Why does he smell so damn good? Daniel finds himself getting a bit too hot now. He needs to leave pronto. Terry's presence is overwhelming, not to mention his size, all lean limbs, toned, and muscled, his hands.... 
"I got it, again thanks but I gotta go."
"Of course, the wife expects you. Say hi to Amanda for me, if she gets mad at you for being late, blame me okay."
Daniel just nods and escapes away from Terry Silver. No matter what Terry had a way of making Daniel feel 18 years old again, all skittish and flustered. 
After getting home and having a cold shower, Chozen manages to pull Daniel aside before Amanda finds them.
"So how did it go Daniel-san?"
"Fine, didn't get to look into things much, it's my first day, so low expectations. But I will find something, Terry Silver will be going down." 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Sensei Silver, I mean no disrespect, but why do you have that man teaching defense when Cobra Kai is all about offense, strike first---"
Terry shoots Kaleb a withering glare, "I pay you to teach not give me your unsolicited opinions. Mr. LaRusso is a highly skilled master and he will have your respect, understood? His style of karate while vastly different than Cobra Kai is useful, a former student of mine showed me how the combined styles can be very effective. That's why he is here. But if you question me again like this Kaleb, I will have you demoted or fired understood sensei?"
"Yes Sensei!" 
Terry shoos the man away. 
Seeing Daniel tonight in his Cobra Kai gi was enough to satisfy Terry tonight with only his imagination. Soon he'd have the real thing in his bed, or on his lap, looking at him with big expressive brown eyes full of want and desire. For him, and only him. 
There was just another big hurtle. The wife. Terry Silver had to get rid of Amanda, maybe the kids too. Not kill them, no that's insane. No the best way was to make the split seem organic, natural. But how? From what he knew, Daniel's wife was not fond of karate, and given the issues with Cobra Kai in the past, that might be a wedge he can use to get between the couple. Another one is infidelity.
He wonders if Amanda knows about her husband's former crush on Terry? Probably not. 
Daniel might be in denial right now, but Terry plans on seducing his boy back into his arms. Or make it seem that way. Didn't have to be true, or true in the moment. He would have Daniel in his bed for real, it was only a matter of time.

He    should    have    known    this    mixer    would    not    be    without    its    fair    share    of    hiccups    and    Terry    Silver    was    definitely    a    hiccup.    This    part    of    Daniel    that    was    learning    to    rely    on    others,    particularly    Johnny    and    Chozen,    glanced    about    in    earnest    in    hopes    of    catching    one    of    their    eye.    Should    they    see    Terry,    they'd    surely    come    running    given    the    last    few    incidents    that    left    Daniel    slightly    worse    for    wear.    But    then    he    caught    himself,    turning    his    attention    back    to    the    beast.    On    the    inside,    he    silently    cursed    himself    because    since    when    did    he    run    in    the    face    of    danger?    Such    a    cowardly    thing    for    a    man    to    do    ---    to    rely    on    others    to    fight    his    battles.    Furthermore,    there    was    some    part    of    him    that    knew    deep    down    he    needed    to    start    facing    the    things    he    feared    most    head    on.    His    fear    of    Terry    wasn't    of    him    per    se,    but    it    was    an    unsettling    feeling;    a    quiet    discomfort    that    made    it    nearly    impossibly    to    relax.    So    easy    could    he    be    swept    into    his    web    of    deception    and    so    Daniel    found    himself    staring    back    at    him    in    earnest    trying    not    to    let    the    anxiety    show    within    his    features.    He    felt    tense;    ready    to    snap    at    a    moment's    notice.    He    hated    this    feeling.    He    hated    the    man    who    caused    this    feeling    yet    Terry    remained    on    the    spot    refusing    to    take    orders    from    him.
Expected    of    course,    even    if    Daniel    had    hoped    for    better.    Why    should    a    man    who    knew    very    well    he    had    Daniel    by    the    leash    take    orders    from    him?    All    around    them    were    officials    waiting    for    someone    to    step    a    toe    out    of    line.    If    Johnny    had    to    behave    in    spite    of    Kreese,    that    meant    Daniel    had    to    follow    the    same    quid    pro    quo.    It    sucked,    but    what    could    he    do?
Daniel    averted    his    gaze    briefly    to    collect    himself.    So    easy    would    it    be    to    let    tempers    flare    but    he    reeled    it    in    as    best    as    he    could,    ignoring    the    smell    of    some    expensive    cologne    that    could    only    suit    a    Terry    Silver    type.    Lips    parted    slightly    as    he    let    the    words    on    the    tip    of    his    tongue    simmer    a    bit.    It    would    not    do    to    let    this    one    provoke    him    too    much.    As    much    as    instinct    pushed    him    to    simply    react    sans    thinking,    he    thought    carefully    for    once    about    his    words    before    speaking    quietly    in    the    air    between    them.
"As    if    I    would    tell    you    such    things."    And    in    all    honesty,    it    didn't    take    a    genius    to    sniff    out    Daniel's    latest    bout    of    fear    ---    the    latest    being    his    stint    inside    of    a    locked    cage.    If    those    few    hours    locked    away    were    enough    to    trigger    a    bit    of    trauma    inside,    he    shuddered    to    think    what    a    true    prisoner    might    have    felt    if    stuck    for    days    upon    days.
One    could    delve    a    bit    farther    back    to    an    incident    involving    them    all    at    Terry's    place.    From    Chozen's    injury    to    being    forced    to    face    Terry    head    on,    fear    coiled    within    his    stomach    creating    the    tightest    of    knots    that    night.    He    could    remember    waking    in    a    cold    sweat    days    later,    rushing    to    the    bathroom    while    all    of    his    dinner    had    him    leaning    over    the    toilet.    To    think    Chozen    could    have    died,    or    Terry    capable    of    such    a    thing.    This    dark    place    that    karate    had    put    them    within    was    not    what    made    Daniel    love    the    sport    years    ago.
No    —    scratch    that.
He    never    thought    of    karate    as    JUST    A    SPORT.    It    had    always    been    a    way    of    life    in    Miyagi's    teachings    yet    embracing    it    this    way    left    Daniel    wondering    if    it    was    more    trouble    than    its    worth.    He    was    certainly    beginning    to    think    so    given    the    stark    contrast    of    his    life    in    prior    years.
He    stared    at    Terry    defiantly    though    he    would    avert    his    gaze    after    struggling    to    keep    eye    contact    for    too    long.    Was    it    fear?    Naa.    He    chalked    it    up    to    a    normal    reaction    to    a    stimuli    that    was    rather    unpleasant    most    days.    Pushing    slightly    past    Terry,    he    kept    walking    down    the    table,    looking    for    food    to    put    upon    his    plate    despite    his    appetite    having    soured.
"You    won't    get    the    rise    that    you're    clearly    looking    for    out    of    me    so    you    may    as    well    find    your    buddy    in    crime    and    go    plot    whatever    evil    doings    you    two    will    inevitably    inflict    upon    us    all.    At    the    very    least,    I    think    I    deserve    a    moment's    peace    from    the    two    of    you."

Tumblr media
ㅤㅤBeneath the faint muttering amidst the various dōjōs’ respective cohorts, a looming tension resides as eliminations narrow down the remaining attendees, the lofty man finding it devastatingly easy to engage in pleasantries at the mixer ahead of another competitive day, effortlessly moving from table to table to schmooze with an efficacy developed from decades of practice  (  a finely tuned artform  ).  Making connections and playing nice has always been a feat that Silver had excelled at, his approach having mellowed considerably regardless of razor sharp intent remaining cloyingly intact, animated cold eyes engaging yet inherently analytical for snippets of information that would prove useful for his own interests. Barring the senseis from the Valley whom he had personal history with, there isn’t a single person within that room that hasn’t been suitably disarmed with a relatively positive impression, a sprinkle of amicable candour as Terry slices through and circles between groups in a manner that’s nigh predatory until—  (  well well well…  ).
ㅤㅤㅤㅤSome would be foolish enough to chalk up this interaction to coincidence, but there are none when it comes to Terry Silver, a profound meticulousness present with sprawling reach, even within a supposedly offhanded remark that figuratively stokes at dormant embers for abrupt bursts of ignition  (  the  ‘ hothead ’  moniker reflective of the younger’s underlying nature  ).  The elderly man’s former student never fails to deliver in spite of best efforts of feigned indifference, the subtly of an affected averted gaze or the faint strain about a jaw while biting his tongue speaking volumes, niche revelations only the man searches for. Fingertips grasping at the stem of a champagne flute, the Cava within is carefully swirled without the desire to partake, the drink not entirely to his taste due to a discerning palate pinpointing it to be from a de Guarda bottling as opposed to, say, de Paraje Calificado - young and unsophisticated compared to mature depths  (  sounds familiar  ).
ㅤㅤA faint scoff of amusement emerges, a brief glance aimed to the hors d’oeuvres garnering very little interest.  “ And who says I was referring to your fear, Danny Boy? If I didn’t know any better, I’d say you’re a little self-absorbed. ”  A throaty chuckle weaves into the words, goading as the faint upward quirk of a brow distorts affable features into a knowing smirk, the brunet’s little… adventurous mishap very much on both of their minds apparently - a part of Silver wonders what would come around if LaRusso had found any salient information, if desperately chasing the past would bring any real comfort regarding his beloved mentor  (  or conversely, dismay  ),  his own curiosity spurring a request sent to his team to do some delving into the archives. No, the fear that Terry speaks of draws from personal experience, a pervasive sensation that had manifested at varied points of life—
ㅤㅤFrom the extreme of gunfire beneath waxy Bunyan trees to the anguished ache and dissociation that comes with full-bodied withdrawals, or even the present day when forced to succumb to the finality of one’s mortality - for better or worse, embracing fear has a way of sharpening one’s resolve and, ultimately, sense of perspective. In a strange way it’s a final lesson he wishes to impart, the daring demand for them to part ways only adding fuel to the fire, tall stature firmly rooted to the spot.  “ But… interesting choice of words. You’re not afraid now? ”  Sly cant of the head, a long index finger punctuates the question by pointing towards the ground, gelid line of vision penetrative in genuine inquisitiveness.  “ When were you last truly afraid? ”

Hey Bestie I have a request for you 😁We know the fight between Terry and Chozen but I wanna know what would have happened if we were there too. Like someone called us and told us what was going on. How would that end and how would Terry react? Take your time as always. Love you Bestie 🙏🖤
Tumblr media
Omg yes! I'm so happy to write this one 😁 I hope you like it, love you too bestie 💚💚💚
You were at home just trying to chill out after a long and stressful day, work had been a nightmare and to top it all, you and Terry had been arguing about the dojo. He was trying so hard to get the students ready for the next tournament against miyagi do that he barley spent anytime with you. You told him that he had to stop what he was doing with Daniel, Johnny and Chozen, and that if this carried on, someone was going to end up badly hurt, or worse! But he was so focused on being the strongest one, that it was like he was a different person. He wasnt the same Terry you fell in love with.
You still loved Terry with all your heart, and you knew he loved you too. But he was stuck in his own world so much that he didnt take you into consideration, and that hurt you more than you thought it could. You told him that until he stoped this stupid revenge scheme he had, you didnt want to talk to him. And that's why you were at your flat on your own. You were feeling upset, and hurt by the whole situation, and just wanted the old Terry back. The Terry who would stop at nothing to make you smile, make you happy and protect you no matter the cost. Where had that Terry gone?
As you sat on your sofa in a flood of tears, your phone started to ring, and when you answered it, you were surprised to hear Carmen's voice. "Y/N! Y/N something is going on I need your help!" "Woh woh take a breath Carmen, what's wrong?" "Its Johnny, he drunk dialed me and told me he, Mike and Chozen are all heading to Terry's place to fight him!" "He what?!" "Y/N please can you stop them? I dont want any of them to get hurt" "Dont worry Carmen, I'm heading there now" You end the phone call and grab your phone and handbag, leaving your flat, slamming the door behind you. You get into your car and you head over to Terry's place as fast as you can, hoping that nothing serious has happend.
When you arrive you see a limo parked outside, which is confusing? But it must be what Chozen, Mike and Johhny came hear in. Then you hear loud grunting and smashing of some kind and without hesitation, you run into the house. The front door was wide open and there on the floor you see Mike knocked out. "Mike? Oh my God!" He isnt answering you, so first you put him into the recovery position to prevent any other problems happening, then you shout out through the house. "Terry!? Johnny?! Chozen?!" But there was no answer. You walk around the house, careful not to step on any broken pieces of art work, and that's when you can see something though the large glass window.
Terry is outside by the pool, and he is attacking Chozen with a samurai sword! And it appeared that chozen is fighting back with two sai. "Terry! Stop!" You scream at the top of your lungs, but neither of them hear you. That's when you see Chozen sweep Terry by his feet and Terry falls into the water, with Chozen holding his sai to Terry's throat. You were terrified for both of them, you couldn't let this happen. You ran towards the glass door, still shouting to them to stop, and Chozen was about to kill Terry when you ran towards them. "Please stop!" Chozen looks away for just a second and sees you running towards them. But that's where everything goes wrong.
Everything happened so quickly, and Terry couldn't hear you or see you behind Chozen. You managed to run to Chozen just in time to push him away from Terry, but.... what you didnt see, was Terry grabbing his samurai sword from the water and swinging it upwards to attack Chozen. But you had pushed Chozen out of the way, and that split second that Terry didnt see you, his sword swung up and sliced right across your arm causing a large and very painfull cut all the way from your lower arm, all the way to your shoulder. The pain was excruciating and you fell to your knees as grabbed your arm screaming in pain as blood flowed from your arm.
"Y/N!" Terry screamed, he threw his sword away and tried to get up to help you, but Chozen stopped him. "You dont touch her Silver! What have you done to her!" Your clutching on desperately to your arm, but the pain is getting worse and blood is pouring from your arm into the water below, and your crying tears of pure pain. "Sweetheart! Im-Im so sorry I- I didnt mean to-" He tries to reach out to you as he is filled with guilt, but you scream at him. "Dont touch me!" He takes a step back from you, his eyes are filled with pain and tears run down his cheeks as he realizes what he has done, to the only person who has ever loved him, his soul mate.
"I begged you to stop this Terry! I begged you to stop this war with everyone but you wouldnt listen to me! I told you that something bad would happen! That someone was going to get hurt, but I didnt think you would do this! To me!" His eyes are pouring out with tears of shame, he cant belive he has done this to you, but your also crying, but tears of pain. "Come on Y/N, I take you to hospital, they help you there" Chozen said as he ripped a part of his shirt and wrapped it around your arm, before helping you to your feet. ""Sweetheart please, let me help you, I'm so sorry I never meant to hurt you, please-" "You have done enough Silver! I take her to hospital, and you should feel shame for what you have done" You give Terry one last tear filled look before being lead out of the house by Chozen, and Terry falls to his knees and cries harder than he ever had before. He hides his face in his hands as he screams out in pain at what he has done. He loved you with all of his heart and soul and his heart smashed into pieces, knowing that he has hurt you, scared you for life, and probably lost the only person who has or would ever loved him.

The lawgusso kick has gotten to me once again
Johnny has a huge bratty side and it gets him in some real trouble. Most times though, he's only bratty when he feels like riling up his husbands. Johnny feels like having a rough night, but Daniel and Chozen are being affectionate and slow. So, Johnny doesn't listen to them when they kindly ask him to get on his knees.
"Cmon Johnny, don't be difficult." Daniel presses a kiss to his neck. Johnny grumbles, he's being difficult on purpose, he needs to be used tonight, he wants it. He wants them to take him from the living room to the bedroom and tie him up or spitroast him.
"Be good for us." whispers Chozen, stroking Johnny's hair, obviously trying to persuade him to obey. Johnny wishes instead that Chozen would grab his hair and pull, that Daniel would bite his neck instead of pepper little kisses. Johnny wiggles away from their grasps and leaves to the bedroom, hoping that it would get under their skin. It did.
"Johnny, what the hell?" Daniel asks as he enters the room, Chozen quiet behind him. Johnny shrugs, doesn't say a word. He knows he's going to get what he wants, even when he doesn't want to directly ask for it.
Johnny hears Chozen shuffling through some drawers, a very familiar sound. Then he sees his favorite thing: a soft yet firm rope. Chozen steps forward.
"Hands." Johnny puts his hands behind his back and keeps them together. He feels Chozen tie them up, tightening them for the perfect pressure.
"You've been very disobedient." Chozen frowns at him. Daniel nods in agreement.
"Like we said. Knees, now." Daniel orders. Johnny wants to resist again, but from the look in both his husbands eyes, they’re already going to give it to him roughly. Johnny, with some help from Daniel, gets to his knees, looking up at Chozen and Daniel. They undress and Chozen slides into Johnny’s mouth first, going faster than he usually would. Johnny still isn’t satisfied. He pulls off.
“Stop going easy on me.“
“Don’t want to hurt Johnny.” Chozen says. Daniel comes up to Johnny and holds his face:
“You want it to hurt, don’t you?” He asks. Johnny looks away. He loves riling them up but doesn’t have the guts to say it out loud, to say he likes the pain.
“Answer.” Chozen reaches his hand into Johnny’s hair and tugs lightly, drawing a whimper from his mouth.
“Fuck. Fuck- yeah. I… I want you guys to rough me up.” Johnny finally admits. He feels like a weight has been lifted from himself. But a new weight is in his mouth now. Chozens fucking his face like he wants, tugging at his hair. Johnny moans, going pliant, embracing the side of him thats grown to love being hurt by his husbands, because he knows they still care for him after, if Chozen and Daniels constant checks are any indication.
Sometime after Chozen decides to stop, Johnny is maneuvered onto the bed and untied from the ropes. He frowns at the loss of being useless until he sees Daniel pull out their cuffs. Now Johnny knows they’re getting into it. Johnny ends up cuffed to the ends of the bedposts, almost immobile, with some slack for his safety.
Then, Johnny’s mind goes blank, with his only thought being pleasure. Daniel’s pulling at his nipples, biting Johnny’s neck to leave marks that will last for at least a week. Meanwhile, Chozen is slamming into Johnny’s hole and once he cums inside him, he starts fingering it back in. Johnny’s overstimulated but it feels so good and he doesn’t care, he likes the feeling, and of course, both his husbands ask him once more if he’s okay.
And when it’s all over, when every pleasurable pain is given to Johnny, he blacks out. Johnny swims in the wonderful feeling. He wakes up later to free hands, with little marks from the handcuffs he had been pulling on. He presses into them and whines, partially from discomfort but mostly from that little burn that makes Johnny’s brain go off the rails.
Chozen and Daniel notice how Johnny presses the bruises on his neck as well, letting his touch linger to draw out the feeling. They know sometimes Johnny likes being hurt and they respect that. Still, whenever they get rough, they cook Johnny food after and tend to his every need. And if Johnny ever asks why, Chozen and Daniel explain:
“Because you are special. Precious to us, Johnny.”
“You’re ours, and we take care of what’s ours. We want you to be safe.”
(got sucked into the fluff for a moment there-)
This is so sweet and hot❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Makes me think, what if Johnny was trying to make them jealous in this scene⬇️

Perhaps hoping to be fucked roughly for flirting 👀

Crazy Ideas
Daniel recognizes the head of spiky black hair as soon as it enters the banquet hall. “Baby,” he says, patting Terry’s arm, “I think one of my friends just got here. I’m going to say hi, I’ll be right back.”
Terry smiles, looking the most content Daniel’s ever seen him. “Don’t be too long.”
“I won’t.” Daniel gives his husband (husband, he still can’t believe it) a kiss before stepping away.
As he walks across the room, he spots Johnny standing by himself, nursing a drink and staring forlornly at Ali and Susan dancing. An idea pops into Daniel’s head. It’s probably crazy – but, his last crazy impulse did end with getting married to the love of his life. What’s the worst that could happen?
“Johnny!” Daniel makes a detour to grab his friend by the elbow. “Come over here.”
Johnny sputters around a mouthful of scotch. “What, why?”
“There’s someone I want you to meet!”
Johnny lets Daniel drag him along, complaining the whole way. It takes them awhile to get through the crowd, but finally they reach the entrance where Daniel had spotted the familiar figure.
“Chozen!”
Chozen walks over as soon as he spots them. “Daniel-san,” he says, shaking Daniel’s hand, “I am sorry I missed the ceremony. My flight –”
Daniel waves his hand. “Don’t worry about it, just glad you’re here! We’ve got a lot of catching up to do. But first –” He tugs Johnny forward. “I want you to meet Johnny Lawrence, an old friend of mine from high school. Johnny, this is Chozen Toguchi, an old friend of mine from Okinawa.”
Johnny is looking at Chozen, slightly slack jawed. “I uh – hey.” He holds out his hand. “Nice to meet you.”
Chozen takes his hand, staring back with steely intensity. “And you.”
Daniel rubs a hand over his jaw to hide his grin. “Johnny, how ‘bout you show Chozen where to get a drink? I need to talk to Terry about something, see you both later?”
Quietly, he slips away, heading back to where he left his husband, feeling quite pleased with himself. Man, he had some good crazy ideas.
