No strings attached
Summary: Johnny and her have been secretly hooking up, but what if he wants more?
Warnings: Mentions of smut, mainly fluff
Word Count: 2.7k
It was 1984, Johnny Lawrence leaned against the lockers, pretending to listen as his buddies talked about their plans for the weekend. Normally, he’d be right there with them, cracking jokes and planning their next party. But his mind was elsewhere—on her.
He spotted her down the hall, surrounded by her friends, laughing like everything was normal. But it wasn’t. Not for him. Not since the first time they’d hooked up, when it was supposed to be a one-time thing, a secret neither of them would talk about. Except it wasn’t just a one-time thing anymore.
Johnny’s jaw clenched as he felt a wave of frustration wash over him. Why did it have to be her? Why did she have to get under his skin like this? She was different from the girls he usually went for—maybe that’s why he liked her so much. But they both knew the deal. They couldn’t be seen together. His friends wouldn’t get it. They’d give him hell for going after someone who wasn’t part of their crowd.
But the truth was, Johnny was starting not to care. Every time they snuck around, it got harder to act like this was just some fling. He was starting to feel something real, something he hadn’t expected—and he hated how much he wanted more.
Tommy slapped him on the back, dragging his attention back to their conversation. "You alright, man? You’re zoning out.”
Johnny snapped out of his thoughts, feeling Tommy's hand on his back. He forced a smile, trying to hide how worked up he was.
"Yeah, I'm good," he said, clearing his throat. "Just… thinking about something," he replied, darting a quick glance down the hallway to where she still lingered with her friends.
Bobby, who stood beside them, also seemed to have noticed her. His eyes followed Johnny's and a smirk tugged at the corners of his mouth. He could sense their tension.
"Thinking about someone?" Jimmy teased, nudging Johnny's shoulder.
Johnny tensed, the joke hitting close to home.
He shot a glare at Jimmy, trying to play it off. "What? No, man. Relax, alright?" But they could see right through him. He was never this on edge unless it was because of her.
Bobby crossed his arms, a knowing look in his eyes.
"Come on, man. We can tell when you're moping about some girl. You've been different ever since you started hooking up with that chick," he teased.
Johnny clenched his fists, the annoyance growing inside him.
"It's not like that, man," he protested, his voice slightly strained. But even he knew he was kidding himself. The truth was, it was like that. He was so damn conflicted about her. She was his secret vice.
Bobby chuckled, enjoying getting under Johnny's skin. "Oh, yeah. Totally believable. You're just banging her for fun, right? It's not like you're starting to catch feelings or anything," he teased, trying to rile Johnny up even more.
Johnny bristled at Bobby's words, feeling his restraint slipping away.
"I don't have 'feelings,'" he snapped, his voice rising. "It's just... convenience, all right? Nothing more." But he knew he was lying, and so did they.
Jimmy chimed in, poking the bear further. "Just convenience. Right. You're always talking about how she's different from any other girl you've been with. And the way you get all hot and bothered when she's near. Sure looks more than just convenience."
Johnny's face flushed with irritation and a hint of embarrassment. They were right, and they both knew it. But he was damn stubborn and wasn't going to give them the satisfaction of being right.
"You don't know what you're talking about," he growled, his jaw clenching. "You don't know anything about me and her."
She looks over at him, stealing a glance before turning her attention back to her friends. She knows she shouldn't be so obvious, but it's difficult.
She can't help but want more. He is the hottest guy at West Valley, so when they hooked up for the first time it was every girl's dream come true. She couldn't help but fall for him, each meetup getting a little more intimate.
The bell rings as school begins, "come on, let's get to class" her friend marcy goes.
He watched her as she disappeared down the hallway, his eyes lingering on her for a little longer than necessary. She was playing with fire, looking at him like that. It took every ounce of his ironclad willpower to not follow after her.
Johnny clenched his jaw, annoyed with himself for even thinking that. He wasn't supposed to care. This was just a secret thing, a no-strings-attached kind of setup. But the way she looked at him, the way she made him feel... it wasn't supposed to affect him like this.
She couldn't get Johnny out of her head all day. She tried to take notes, listen to lectures, but her mind kept wandering back to him. She hated the hold he had over her, she knew he was a player, a bad boy, everything she should stay away from. But she can't help but feel like there is something beneath his hard outer shell.
The locker room was deserted, the only sound was his footsteps on the hard linoleum floor. He pulled off his school shirt, revealing his muscular physique.
He splashed cold water on his face, hoping to clear his head. But the image of her was still fresh in his mind. She had gotten under his skin, planted a seed that he couldn't shake.
He looked at himself in the mirror, a mixture of anger and desire coursing through him. Why did he let her affect him this way? He was the bad boy, the one they all feared and respected.
He was torn between the need to keep up his tough act and the growing attraction he had for her.
As he toweled off, his mind kept replaying scenes from his last night with her. The taste of her mouth, the feel of her skin, the sound of her voice...
He was in danger of revealing a side of him that had no business coming close to the surface.
She sat at lunch with her friends, noticing he wasn't there. She felt sort of jealous, wondering where he was, who he was with. She shakes off the jealousy, she had to remember their no string attached deal.
She played with the food on her lunch tray, losing her appetite as she got lost in thoughts of Johnny. "Are you okay?" Marcy asked, "You've been in a daze all day." She snaps out of her imagination "Oh yeah.. Just thinking about a test I have today" She lies.
Johnny stood under the showers in the boys' locker room, running cold water over his burning face. His thoughts were a maelstrom of confusion and desire. What the hell was he supposed to do?
For years, he'd been the bad boy, the tough guy with the cold stare and the sharp edge. A player. That's what everyone expected him to be. And so he had been. With her, it was different.
He wanted more. But to admit it, to make him vulnerable... It went against everything he'd built himself to be.
As lunch ends she heads to her next class, her mind still swimming with images of him. It was an all consuming obsession with the untouchable boy.
As she took her test, her mind kept flickering back to images of the night prior; the breathless kisses, the giggles, her legs up in his backseat. It was distracting her fully from the task at hand. 'You're so beautiful’ she remembers, his sweet words echo in her mind.
He made his way out of his last period, his mind in a whirlwind of desire and frustration. As he stepped into the hall, he spotted her standing with her friends, laughing at something one of them had said. She looked so damn beautiful, it made his chest ache.
He wanted to get her alone, somewhere they wouldn't be disturbed. Maybe the parking lot, or his car... Hell, they'd done it in less discreet places. His heart raced in anticipation.
Her and her friends are gossiping about whatever the newest drama was. But she couldn't help but see him look at her, it made her heart nearly stop.
She hadn't seen him since this morning, and she didn't realize how much he made her blaze. She knew she couldn't do anything, she had to use caution especially regarding their situation. She tried to get back into the conversation, though her mind was somewhere else.
As her and her friends wrapped up, she gave them a little wave and got into her car, starting the engine.
As she got into her car, Johnny couldn't resist any longer.
He approached her, leaning against her driver's side door, blocking her escape.
"Going somewhere?" He asked, trying to sound nonchalant.
Her eyes widened, he'd never had the nerve to approach her in public. "Johnny.. what are you doing?" she whispered.
She couldn't believe the guy that made her promise not to tell a soul about their arraignment, was coming up to her in front of a decent part of the school.
"Okay. Well, we can meet somewhere and talk" she said quietly.
He didn't want to wait any longer to be alone with her. The thought of waiting even a few minutes was unbearable.
"My car. Now," he commanded, his voice firm. He knew he was being dominant, but the desire to have her close was overruling his usual control.
“But people will see..” she said, scanning around at the still packed parking lot full of seniors.
He shrugged, unbothered by the potential audience. "Let 'em talk. I don't give a damn."
She looked at him bewildered "But what about our agreement" she hinted.
"To hell with our agreement," he retorted, his voice low and heated. "I can't take it anymore."
"Just come. We'll be quick."
She turns the key out of her ignition, following him to his car as people begin to stare.
Johnny led her to his car, not sparing a glance at the people around them. They were starting to stir now, sensing the tension, whispering and pointing at them.
He opened the passenger door and gestured for her to step inside.
She waits for him to get in, her face getting red as she sees people peering into his car, curious why Johnny and her are alone in his car. "So, what exactly did you need to talk about?"
Johnny looked over at her, his gaze intense and determined.
"I need to ask you something," he said, his voice low. "But I need you to be completely honest with me."
"Okay.." She said quietly, her nerves building by the second. All of this was sudden, she didn't know what to expect.
"Do you ever imagine what it'd be like...if we weren't just a secret hook up? If people could actually know us together?" He asked.
She thinks on it for a second, the first thought that pops into her mind is yes. Obviously, she has thought about that, she had never been into hookups.
"Well.. I guess I have" She shrugs, unsure where this conversation is leading.
He nodded, understanding her response. "Yeah, see, I have too," he said, his voice serious. "Not just a hookup, but actually being together. Everyone is seeing us out in public."
He looked at her, his eyes burning into hers. "What would you say if I said...I think I want that?"
"Johnny, what?" She says she could hardly believe her ears. "You told me you don't do the whole 'girlfriend' thing."
He sighed, running a hand through his hair. "I know what I told you. I thought that's what I wanted. No strings attached, no messy emotions to deal with."
He looked at her, his gaze intense. "But the truth is...I want more. With you."
Her eyes lit up "You.. you do?" she questions, needing him to say it again so she knows she's not dreaming.
He reached for her, tugging her closer. "Yeah, I do," he said, his voice filled with conviction.
He cupped her face between his hands, his gaze locked with hers. "I want you, all of you. The good, the bad, everything. And I don't want to keep you a secret anymore."
She shakes her head, a little chuckle coming out "Johnny Lawrence, you're something else" she looks into his icy eyes.
He couldn't help the small smile that tugged at the corners of his lips at her response.
"You should see yourself," he murmured, his thumb tracing her cheek gently. "You're the one who's got me so damn confused." He leaned in closer, his lips hovering just an inch away from hers.
He couldn't help the small smile that tugged at the corners of his lips at her response.
"You should see yourself," he murmured, his thumb tracing her cheek gently. "You're the one who's got me so damn confused." He leaned in closer, his lips hovering just an inch away from hers.
"What's so confusing?" She asked Johnny, a playful look in her eyes. She couldn't believe she had the hottest guy in the valley wrapped around her finger.
He chuckled at her playful tone. "You know damn well what's confusing," he shot back, but there was no heat behind his tone.
He pulled her even closer, closing the distance between them until his forehead was touching hers. "And don't think for a second that you don't have me exactly where you want me, 'cause you do."
She giggles, finally seeing his outer shell crumble. The real Johnny, the Johnny that craves romance beyond the steamy windows of a back seat. "So, what does all this mean? Do we go out on dates? Hold hands in the hall?" She teases Johnny, though she secretly wouldn't mind any of that.
He rolls his eyes, feigning annoyance, but there's a hint of a smile on his lips. "Yeah, those things. What, am I too much of a badass to hold your hand in the hallway?" He asks, his voice laced with sarcasm. But his hand reaches out and takes hers, interlocking their fingers.
"No, I guess not" She flushed.
He gives her hand a gentle squeeze, relishing the feel of their fingers locked together.
"And dates," he said, his voice taking on a more serious tone. "We go on proper dates, right? Not ones where we're sneaking around and getting into each other's cars in hidden parking lots."
She cocks an eyebrow at him "Johnny Lawrence being seen doing lovey dovey things? But what about your reputation?!" She feigns shock.
"Screw my reputation," he retorts, his eyes locked with hers. "You think you're the only one who can shake things up a little? I can change if I want. And believe me, the world will know I'm with the hottest chick around."
She blushes deeper, she'd never been slick with taking compliments. "Well I guess having a stud on my arm at all times won't hurt.." She teased him. Images of them walking around together, his muscular arm wrapped around her waist for all to see, the idea was savory.
He chuckled, a cocky grin spreading across his face. "You got that right, I'd look damn good walking around with the hottest girl in school on my arm," he replied, his voice dripping with confidence.
He reached out, his hand wrapping around her waist. "Yeah, I think I like the sound of that. You know, people staring, whispering about us. Seeing us together."
She smiles wide, his cocky persona shining through his emotions. He drove her crazy, he always had. "Well you better have a spectacular first date planned, better not involve your back seat" She gestured back.
He smirked, his eyes locking onto hers. "You doubting my abilities, sweetheart?"
He leaned in a bit closer, his voice low and suggestive. "I'll have you know, I'm an expert at making unforgettable moments. In my back seat or otherwise."
" I guess you'll just have to prove it to me" She shrugs with a sly smirk on her face.

Cobra Kai S6 - Unbalanced
Okay, I have a little more to say about the season I guess.
This is just about how the team isn't on the same page during the Part 2 episodes, why the writers went for it, and why it's fine.
Spoiler cut you know the drill.
Underdog Story
So a tension is kind of needed for narratives to... narrative. And when you do an athletic story like a tournament or sports series you need to have the protagonists in a losing position. So the Iron Dragons have to win everything, the Cobra Kais have to win most things.
And the Miyagi Dos have to barely stay in. Miyagi Do has to be in the lowest place to stay in the tournament. They couldn't be dead last in the first elimination because that'd put them against the Iron Dragons, they were ranked twelfth to face 'not Iron Dragons' and 'not Cobra Kai.'
However they need a reason to suck this bad, one that can be overcome within the structure of the episode run. So it can't actually be a skill issue. There isn't room for a training arc to get stronger, or learn a new attack, or a new style of combat. So they just have to be off their A game.
Which is why Hawk and Demetri can't stand each other. Devon doubts her place on the team. Sam doubts Johnny's training methods. And Robby is so busy staring longingly at Tory he gets punched in the face.
And while Miguel isn't fucking up, he is still bitter that Robby is squandering his opportunity (more on that later).
Demetri and Hawk
So their big conflict is about going to MIT. It'd probably work better if Demetri's actual reasons for staying in the tournament were better. Or if Demetri felt like he'd changed at all from his S2 characterization, but here we are.
It does allow for the good tag team moment, showing how good they are as a duo. But a lot of the conflict in this felt manufactured specifically by Demetri being a brat, and didn't... resolve this by him not being a brat. They just stopped arguing.
The tag team fights were a really good concept for building tension and keeping everyone feeling equal footed, with the actual tension being teamwork. Love that setpiece.
Sam and Devon
So Sam's big conflict point was to stand in for her dad while he was kidnapped. Given my big (only) Cobra Kai fic is basically Sam being Johnny's adopted daughter, not a fan. It works because the whole point is balance between the two styles, but it doesn't work because this conflict point felt a little forced.
And since Sam is standing up for her dad, Devon rises to the challenge for hers. Sensei Johnny did nothing wrong (if you're Devon). It's a less focused argument point because it's just for one episode, so overall it works. They argue, Johnny gets his shit together (temporarily), the girls go back to being on the same page.
Devon's real conflict point is that she has serious imposter syndrome over dosing Kenny. Which she resolves in two parts. She sacrifice plays in the Dublin elim fight, then apologizes to Kenny and gives him her slot. Her conflict is also mostly in the background, which helps.
She's trying her best and isn't as obviously distracted as someone else.
Kenny Payne vs. the World
So on the one hand, Kenny coming in as the ace is great and I love that for him. On the other hand Kenny being accused of being the mole fucking sucks and they really didn't need that point.
Seriously Demetri and Hawk can't agree what color the sky is but they can agree Kenny is working for Silver??? What. The. Fuck.
It sets up for Robby's 'become the leader' moment but Robby already had enough shit on his plate to resolve and this wasn't needed.
Miguel
So Miguel is only in conflict with Robby in the sense that Miguel is the only person 100% on his game during everything. He's honing his 'how dare Robby squander my chance' into focus to be a badass is the most Johnny Lawrence coded thing he could do. And once he understands what Robby is dealing with he simmers the fuck down.
Miguel's mini arc here, overall, is fine. Was he right to call out Robby? Yes. Was he right to do it the way he did? No. Is he a moody teenager made they are losing a tournament? Sure is.
Of everyone here, he (and Robby) are fine.
Robby
So, on the one hand, Robby has every reason to be off his game (if you're deeply invested in him and Tory which I am not, but I'm writing this like I buy into it). On the other hand he's still sucking at his job.
So if you look at things from his perspective, nobody has the right to be this mean to him he's going through it.
But if you look at it from any other perspective, he's why they aren't going to win. So them being whiny brats over it still makes sense.
The show gave the moment to solidify him to Miguel (which is fine). The only better options are Johnny or Kenny. Johnny because he's his dad, and that Robby needs to focus and he and Tory have all the time in the world to figure shit out.
Kenny because Kenny is the only one in the group who has zero reservations believing in Robby Keene as a fighter. Kenny pointing out he's better than this, he's good. He can win. Would have hit so different.
Overall
The best fix would have been to stagger the resolutions rather than backload them onto the final two episodes. Robby needed to be resolved last, because his has the most actual weight to it.
Miguel's had to be tied to his trip home to his mom, so that's fine. Devon and Kenny are similarly fine.
They could have cut out so much of the Demetri/Hawk bullshit and made it better. It got tied to the tag team fight but they could have done the fights in a different order and let them resolve their shit early. Especially if we skipped the 'we both have girlfriends psych! gonna dance with a girl who I'm not dating' bullshit. Which is more 'Demetri is a bad person who learns nothing.'
Sam's conflict being more with Johnny would have made her and Devon's little ministrife work better, I'd probably resolve that one first. Johnny giving her orders on how to fight and disregarding it (and losing for it) to hit the 'Daniel never listens but Johnny can be right sometimes' note with Daniel MIA.
But the end of it all, the team did need to be at each other's throats for some duration for the block of eps to work.
Endnote: They should have just- not had Zara SA Robby. It's one of those plot things that require more nuance and thought than Cobra Kai can spare on this sorta thing. So either Robby did it sober, or don't do it at all.
Endnote 2: I didn't talk about Tory because Tory is, remarkably, doing it all correctly. Minus joining Cobra Kai. She's having no part in Kwon and Kreese's bullshit mindgames. She puts everything on pause with Robby to focus on the tournament. A surprisingly mature call. And the only time she's getting into drama is when Zara drags her into it.
#cobra kai#cobra kai spoilers#cobra kai s6#cobra kai season 6#cobra kai s6 spoilers#cobra kai season 6 spoilers#your friendly reminder these are teenagers#you should expect 70-80% self-importance at all times#BUT then I expect them to learn better or be evil

Lawrusso fans stop hiding from me I made you a bodyswap fic based on REO Speedwagon Songs
Premise:
It’s been two months since the 1984 Under 18 All Valley Karate Tournament, and while Daniel LaRusso and Johnny Lawrence haven’t talked since, they’ve certainly been keeping tabs on each other.
Through the power of music and unfortunately timed lightning, the two wake up one day to discover that they have somehow switched bodies. Unable to switch back, they are forced to masquerade as one another until a solution can be found. With unspoken jealousy and uncertainty running rampant between them, will they be be able to stand each other long enough to figure out their predicament?
OR:
Johnny and Daniel swap bodies, and have to deal with each other long enough to figure out how to go back to normal.

- Jeremy -
intro ! too many memories there
Hi, my name is Jeremy (gasps). This is my first and only tumblr account so, say hi!
I have a plan for this acc, believe it or not. I like to write and have considered turning this into one of those writing accounts but I’m a bit too chicken shit.
Fan fic writer curse and what not. Makes me nervy 😖
But, despite these fears and concerns, I shall make this a writing account. More on that in a later post.
I’m 16 and trans (who would've thought). I play the drums and piano, HUGE Batman/Batfam lover, loves going into depth/analyzing stuff, was once in a band, and I’m canonly Ralph Macchio so .. all those people with the “if you look like Ralph Macchio hmu” shit going on trust, I’ll be there.
I’m hideousvampire’s biggest supporter and hater and quizzicalwriter is my inspiration for even posting on this platform.
I can’t think of anything important worth adding so, I hope you enjoy my content.

Hello! You top five johnny lawrence moments (ck or tkk)? 🙂
OH YAY! It is Friday night and this is going to be so much fun! Thank you!
This is also going to be tough, and I bet by tomorrow I'll be like "Nooooooo you should have picked THIS!" 🤣
Anyway, here goes...
1: Season 3 episode 2
I can't pick a single part from this episode, so I'm going to pick the entire thing as my favourite Johnny Lawrence moment. Like the WHOLE thing lol.
This episode influenced SO many of my fics. Good Cop, Bad Cop Situation was totally based on this episode. North had elements of it too with them stopping at a gas station for food.
I love this episode because of the whump, because of how angry Johnny is, the chop shop fight, the look on his face when Daniel says maybe Robby has a little too much of him in him, and most of all, when Miguel asks him why this happened and he says "I don't know." The look on his face make me 😭
2: HAM?
I have family in LA. Last time I went to stay with them in 2019 they had ham in their fridge, and I thought "Oh, ham. I'll make a sandwich!" and I picked up the packet and water ran out of it onto the floor.
In the USA Ham is awful and filled with water and the bread also isn't that good 😉
I still also see this as Daniel thinking "Oh no, I'm in love with this idiot" lol
3: "You know all these years you weren't there, I blamed myself. Sensei Kreese is right. I can't be my own worst enemy. But you can be!"
Johnny just defending and trying not to fight Robby. That single frame where he grabs him by the neck and says, "I won't fight you." holy shit. That moment, the music, the emotions! That scene was incredible! One of my fave scenes in the whole show!
4: The Karate Kid Beach Fight
That moment where Daniel punches Johnny in the nose and he just kinda stands there for a few seconds...
I have so many fics where Johnny is basically realising he is love in that moment lol
5: THE BOW in season 4
It was an amazing moment on it's own for all of us Lawrusso fans
But then we got the ALMOST KISS 🤣
I used to paint with acrylics. This scene made me paint again for a brief time, but I never finished it lol
Maybe I should finish it one day.
Thank you for the ask 😍

I was thinking about about how Halbrand/Sauron in the finale was talking to Galadriel about how he finally felt free of Morgoth and what he did to him to make him turn out the way he was and how it reminded me so much of Johnny Lawrence in “Cobra Kai”. We’re living in an great age of entertainment where we are able to redeem former villains by getting their side of the story and Johnny’s the perfect example of it. I’m an OG “Karate Kid” fan as I’m actually a 2nd generation fan having grown up loving the movies (similar to me with the LOTR books/movies) but I hated Johnny in them. LOL He was you typical 80s villain though we did see glimpses of how the real villain of the 1st movie was actually his sensei John Kreese (who has tried to kill Johnny twice by choking for disobeying him even though he supposedly loves him like a son) and how he brainwashed these teen boys in a military like fashion. Like Mr. Miyagi even said “Not bad student, bad teacher.” Then all these years later we get “Cobra Kai” and finally Johnny’s side and how everything he went through made him this way but he’s now gotten a 2nd chance to redeem himself through this new generation he can teach, rebuilding and finding his family and love again,stopping Kreese, and making amends with his former rival Daniel Larusso and they’re actually best friends now. LOL
So going back to “Rings of Power” and we actually see Halbrand/Sauron in this redemption stage Tolkien did write that he was trying to make amends for all he did and what Morgoth turned him into as his original form Mairon was good in the beginning. The only problem is though he’s going about it the wrong way and we know that he never does get redeemed. That’s why I keep thinking about this and possible AUs where he does similar to Johnny, but likely this would be during he 1st Age when Morgoth was still around and meeting Galadriel back then (as I love those Mairon/Artanis fics so much) or somehow like Kreese Morgoth comes back again and they all have to team up.
I can’t find the actual gif but it was from the scene below where he said, “When Morgoth was defeated, it was as if a great, clenched fist had released it’s grasp from my neck. And in that stillness of that first sunrise, at last, I felt the light of The One again. And I knew if I was ever to be forgiven that I had to heal everything that I helped ruin.” Also the tattoo both Kreese and Terry Silver have is of a cobra being held at the neck by a clenched fist.
I know similar to me with Johnny this is why I now fully understand Halbrand/Sauron/Mairon and why he became the way he did, but just wish he could’ve found the happy ending Johnny is getting now.

Dutch caught Johnny’s amused glance and rolled his eyes “Are my ears bleeding yet?” he shouted just a little too loud, rubbing them for show.
“Aw, c’mon, Dutch!” Johnny smirked, slinging an arm around his tight shoulders. “He’s not that bad.”
“We are witnessing an assault. What he’s doing to that guitar is criminal,” Dutch complained, wincing as Bobby’s clumsy fingers strummed the wrong chord.
Bobby’s head shot up, and the “music” came to a sudden halt. About a quarter of the people around the fire groaned in disappointment, while the rest cheered.
“What, you think you can do better?” Bobby asked, eyes narrowed. Johnny couldn’t tell if he was really mad, or just seeing double and trying to get Dutch into focus.
“In my sleep,” Dutch muttered under his breath, draining his own cup dry.
“Alright then.” Bobby’s eyes glinted with challenge as he stood from the piece of driftwood he’d been sitting on and crossed over to stand in front of Dutch, holding out the guitar. “Play something.”

Drive me crazy
Summary: Johnny and Her have always been best friends, but could this house party change everything?
Warnings: Smut, swearing, angst, smoking, drinking
Word count: 8K
The music at the Cobra Kai house party was loud—too loud, but Johnny Lawrence didn’t care. He leaned back against the couch, a half-empty beer in his hand, eyes lazily scanning the room. He wasn’t really paying attention to the chaos around him, though. His mind was somewhere else, like it had been for the past few weeks.
His best friend was across the room, laughing, talking to some of the other girls from school, and looking way too good tonight. She always looked good, but recently, something had shifted. The way Johnny looked at her had changed. He hated to admit it—even to himself—but every time he saw her now, his chest tightened. It was starting to mess with him.
He took another swig of beer, trying to shake it off. She was his best friend, for crying out loud. He wasn’t supposed to feel like this about her. But every time she smiled, every time she caught his eye and flashed him that look that made him feel like he was the only one who mattered... It was driving him crazy.
Johnny had already had more to drink than usual. He was trying to push down these stupid feelings that were bubbling up, but the more he drank, the harder it got to ignore them. And then it happened—some girl, one of the loudmouths from school, started talking to his best friend. At first, Johnny didn’t think much of it. But then he saw the way the girl was laughing, a little too loudly, making snide remarks like she was better than her.
His best friend lunged at the loudmouth's jaw.
He slammed his beer down and got to his feet, weaving through the party.
Before things could escalate further, Johnny did something that surprised everyone in the room, including himself. Without thinking, he turned to his best friend, grabbed her by the waist, and in one quick motion, threw her over his shoulder. The room fell silent for a second as everyone stared, but Johnny didn’t care.
“Come on,” he muttered, his voice rough, as he made his way toward the door with her still slung over his shoulder.
The alcohol heavy in her system as she was lifted off the ground by him. She attempted miserably to flail her arms and legs as he carried her out of the house party like a sack of potatoes.
It was always *something* with them. Whether it was hot headed arguments, her dragging him away from a fight, or him dragging her. Their friendship is an interesting dynamic, nonetheless.* "Johnny, what the hell?" She slurred.
Johnny carried her outside, her weight familiar and comfortable against him. He was painfully aware of their proximity as he walked, her body pressed against him, the warmth of her skin seeping through his shirt. He grumbled under his breath, trying to ignore the feeling stirring in his chest.
He didn't stop until they were a fair distance from the party, the music now a faint thump in the background. He set her down gently, his grip lingering on her waist for a moment too long before he abruptly pulled his hands away.
She stood there, crossed armed, he *really* didn't have to do all of that. She huffed, she was torn, although he was always butting in, she knew he really did care for her. Her expression softened as she pondered over these conflicting thoughts.
She laughs at the irony. Johnny was always known for starting fights, he has the lowest temper in the valley. "Thats *rich* coming from you lawrence.”
"That’s different" He retorted, taking a step closer. He could smell the faint scent of her perfume, the familiar smell making his head spin. He clenched his jaw, fighting the urge to reach for her.
"You can’t just go around picking fights that I then have to rescue you from." He closed the remaining distance between them, his eyes never leaving hers. "You gotta stop being so goddamn reckless."
"Yeah you really can't be the one telling me that" she shakes her head. Johnny is the last person to be telling her this. The amount of reckless fights he'd gotten into, for worse reasons than hers, he should just shut his stubborn mouth now. *Man ,that stubborn mouth...* She shakes off the thought.
Johnny bristled at her dismissive tone, his stubborn nature rising to the surface. "Yeah? And why not? I've had to save your ass more times than I can count." He stepped closer, his body mere inches from hers now. He could feel her breath on his skin, the heat radiating off her body. *God, he wanted her so badly.*
"You gotta start thinking before you act. I'm sick of your stupidity."
Her eyes locked with his icy blue ones, his comment having a bitter taste in her mouth. "And I'm sick of you being an asshole" she rebuttals. It couldn't be farther from the truth. Sure, he was pretty much insufferable. But she couldn't get enough.
Johnny's jaw clenched as her words hit a nerve. He was used to her fiery comebacks, but something about this one stung. Maybe it was the alcohol, or maybe it was the way her eyes gleamed with determination, but he couldn't stop himself from taking another step closer.
He was so close now that their chests were almost touching. He could feel her breath against his lips, and all he wanted to do was close the remaining space between them. Instead, he gritted his teeth and retorted, "Yeah, well, I'm not the one constantly needing saving."
HIs musk affected her more than she wanted to admit. Her thoughts were clouded, her brain going foggy as she looked up at him, his blonde hair messy and perfect. She was drunk, being this close to him while she was impaired was definitely not good.
"I..I.." she started, shaking her head. She quickly turned away, heading back inside. One more second out there with him, and she didn't know what would have happened.
Johnny wanted to stop her, to pull her back and hold her against him. But his arms hung at his sides, frozen in place. He watched numbly as she walked away, his mind racing. *What the hell was happening to him*? He was supposed to be her best friend, not some lovesick idiot.
He let out a frustrated curse, raking a hand through his hair. He couldn't go back to the party, not now. He needed some air, some time to think, to put his emotions back in check.
The door opened again, Bobby waltzed outside, completely trashed. Bobby was Johnny's other best friend, sure he's an idiot, but he knew JOhnny better than anyone. "Hey man, came out for a cig, want one?"
Johnny looked up, somewhat relieved to see Bobby stumbling out of the party. "Yeah, sure." He said gruffly. He took the offered cig and lit it, inhaling deeply. The nicotine hit his system, helping him calm down a fraction.
Bobby glanced at him, noticing the conflicted look on his face. "You alright, man?"
Johnny shrugged noncommittally, taking another drag. "Yeah, I'm fine."
Bobby, tipsy as he was, knew Johnny better than anyone. He could sense that there was something more going on, something bothering his best friend. "You sure, man? You look like you've got something on your mind."
Johnny was silent for a moment. He didn't want to talk about it, but he also knew that he couldn't keep his thoughts bottled up forever.
"It's just..." He trailed off, staring at the ground. He took another drag of his cigarette, gathering his thoughts. "I don't know, man. Things are complicated right now."
Bobby nodded understandingly. "Complicated how? With a girl?"
Johnny let out a bitter laugh. "Yeah, something like that."
Bobby raised an eyebrow. "Is it... *her*?"
Johnny's silence was all the confirmation Bobby needed. He knew how Johnny felt about his best friend. He'd been the one dealing with Johnny's drunk ramblings and love-fueled rants for months.
Johnny glanced up at him, almost surprised that he'd figured it out. "Is it that obvious?"
Bobby chuckled. "Kinda. You're not exactly subtle, man."
Johnny let out a heavy sigh. "I just... I don't know what to do, man. She drives me crazy. I can't shake these feelings. And I don't know how to deal with them."
Bobby took a drag of his own cigarette, thinking for a moment. "I see the way she looks at you man, she’s gotta at least feel *something*” Bobby puts his arm around Johnny's shoulders. “I mean face it, you guys fight like cats and dogs, then are all over each other the next day.”
Johnny sighs, running a hand through his hair. He knew Bobby was right. Their friendship was a strange and tumultuous thing. They drove each other crazy, getting into fights over the dumbest things, only to make up just as quickly.
But lately, the fights have been less angry, and more... *something else*. They were always touching, standing too close, stealing glances when they thought the other wasn't looking. It was so damn confusing.
"Yeah, I guess you're right." Johnny muttered, taking another drag of his cigarette. "It's just... I don’t know. Things have been different lately. We've been fighting more than usual, and then making up just as quickly. It's like there's this... *tension* between us."
"Tension?" Bobby echoed, raising an eyebrow. "What kind of tension?"
Johnny let out a frustrated huff. "I don't know, man. It's like every time we're together, I can't help but want to be closer to her. I wanna touch her, hold her, *goddammit*, I don't even know what I want!"
Bobby chuckled. "Sounds like you got it bad, man."
Johnny shot him a glare, but there was no heat behind it. "Yeah, really helpful." he muttered, taking another drag of his cigarette. "What the hell am I supposed to do?"
"You gotta tell her how you feel, man" Bobby said, giving Johnny a brotherly pat on the back
Johnny rolled his eyes. "Right, because that's gonna go over so well. 'Hey, I know we've been friends forever, but I want something more all of a sudden.' She'll probably just laugh in my face."
"Your Johnny Lawrence for god sakes, every chick at west valley basically passes out when you enter a room. Where is the arrogant son of a bitch I know?" Bobby pressed.
Johnny bristled a little at the comment, but deep down, he knew Bobby was right. He was used to girls falling all over him, begging for a scrap of his attention. This was different. This was *her*.
He let out a scoff. "It's not the same. She's... different." He said finally, the words coming out more vulnerable than he intended.
"Different how?" Bobby pushed
Johnny paused for a moment, trying to find the words to explain it. "She doesn't look at me like the other girls do. She sees past the Johnny Lawrence charm and the Cobra Kai crap. She sees the real me, the one no one else does. And for some reason, she still sticks around."
“And that’s gotta mean something” Bobby takes a drag. Johnny nodded, mulling over Bobby's words. He knew his friend was right, but the thought of confessing his feelings scared the crap out of him. "I know, man. It does. I just... I don't know how to tell her. What if she doesn't feel the same? I wouldn't be able to lose her as a friend." Bobby shakes his head, putting out the cigarette "So you'd rather be just friends forever, then take the risk?"
Johnny bristled at Bobby's words. He hated being called out like that. But he knew his friend was right.
He let out a frustrated huff. "Of course not. I want more than friendship. But... I don't know if I'm ready to deal with the fallout if she doesn't feel the same. I don't know what I'd do without her."
"So what, you're just gonna pine after her forever?"
Johnny didn't have a response to that. The thought of spending the rest of his life wanting her, but never having her, sounded like hell. But the thought of losing her entirely terrified him even more.
"This isn't like you, man" Bobby said, his tone now softer. "You're Johnny Lawrence. You're tough, you're confident, you go after what you want. Since when did you start being a coward?"
Johnny bristled at the word "coward." He hated being called that. It was a sign of weakness, something he wasn't used to.
"I'm not a coward" he bit out, his voice harsh, "It's just... this is different. She's different. I wouldn-”
He broke off, his voice catching in his throat, the realization hitting him that he was basically making excuses.
Bobby could see the emotional turmoil on Johnny's face and knew he was getting through to him.
"Listen, man" he said, "What are you more afraid of? Losing her as a friend, or spending the rest of your life wondering 'what if'?"
Johnny was silent for a moment, his mind warring with his heart. He hated that Bobby was right. He hated that he had no good argument.
He let out a heavy sigh, running a hand through his hair. "You're a real pain in the ass, you know that?" he grumbled, but there was no real anger behind it.
"Yeah, but that's what friends are for" Bobby replied, grinning. "So what's it gonna be man? Are you gonna grow some balls and tell her how you feel, or are you gonna just keep moping around like a lovesick puppy?"
"Oh, shut up" Johnny grumbled, but he couldn't suppress a small smile. He knew Bobby was right, as much as it killed him to admit it.
He let out a deep breath. "Yeah, okay. I'll do it. But if she laughs at me and never speaks to me again, I swear to god, I'm gonna kick your ass."
"I'll hold you to that" Bobby chuckled, slapping Johnny on the shoulder. "And hey, who knows, maybe she'll surprise you and jump your bones, right on the spot" he joked, the alcohol making him bolder.
Johnny's cheeks flushed slightly at the comment, despite himself. He tried to hide it with a scoff, but deep down, that thought *did* cross his mind.
"Yeah, right" he muttered, though his voice betrayed a hint of hope.
"Remember what sensei Kreese taught us, strike first and strike hard," Bobbys said.
Johnny chuckled, some of his usual swagger returning. "Damn right. No mercy, right?"
He stood up straight, squaring his shoulders. He felt a flicker of determination, mixed with a healthy dose of nerves. He couldn't back down now.
"Alright, man, I'm gonna do it. I'll talk to her tonight."
Bobby playfully punches Johnny, "Atta boy Lawrence, ready to go back in?"
Johnny nodded, taking one last drag of his cigarette before putting it out. "As ready as I'll ever be."
He took a deep breath, steeling himself for what was to come. He wasn't sure what the outcome would be, but he knew it was time he stopped being a coward.
They headed back inside, the sound of music and chatter hitting them at full force. Johnny scanned the room for any sign of her, his nerves heightening with every passing second.
She was on the dancefloor, and her friends clearly had one too many. She sways her hips to the music, the way she rolled her body was utterly tantalizing. Bobby follows Johnny's glance "Oh shit.. she looks.." "I know..." Johnny replied, his voice low. His eyes remained fixed on her, watching as she danced and laughed with her friends.
He could feel his heart thudding in his chest, his palms beginning to sweat. His mind was racing with all the things he wanted to say to her, all the words that had been bottled up inside him for months.
She threw her head back, laughing at whatever her and her friends were talking about as they moved their bodies. She ran her hands down her torso, feeling the music everywhere as she continued to rock.
Johnny's eyes tracked every movement, every touch of her hand to her body. He wanted, no, *needed*, to be the one causing those movements, the one making her laugh like that. His hands clenched into fists at his sides, a mixture of desire and frustration coursing through him. "Can't blame you man" Bobby reasoned.
Johnny nodded, his eyes still locked on her. "She... she's just..."
He trailed off, not sure how to finish the sentence. How do you explain the effect this girl had on him? It was like she was his sunshine and his poison all rolled into one.
"She's something else, man" he finally said, his voice filled with a mix of awe and frustration.
She turned her head, meeting eyes with Johnny through the sea of people. She thought he left after their little tiff. She gave him a lazy smile.
Johnny's breath hitched in his throat as her eyes met his. For a moment, the room seemed to fade away, and it was just them.
He felt frozen under her gaze, his heart thudding in his chest. Then she smiled at him, all warm and crooked, and it was like a jolt to his system.
He forced himself to smile back, a small, nervous flutter to it.
"What the hell are you waiting for Johnny, strike first" Bobby shoved him toward her.
Johnny stumbled forward, his heart in his throat. "Hey, watch it" he grumbled, but there was no real heat behind it.
He took a deep breath, trying to steady his nerves. *Strike first*. Bobby's words echoed in his ears as he made his way over to her.
As he drew closer, he could see the surprise flicker in her eyes. But then she smiled, that same lazy, crooked smile that made his heart skip a beat.
"Hey" he said, his voice surprisingly steady. "Mind if I steal you away for a minute?'
"Hey there Johnny boy, I thought you left" She slurs.
Despite her intoxicated state, she still managed to make his name sound like a tease. He couldn't help but smile, even though the sight of her being drunk off her ass worried him a bit.
"Nah, I'm still here" he said, shoving his hands in his pockets. "I need to talk to you about something though. It's important."
Her expression drops "What? Like now?" she says, her voice laced with concern. She tries to read his face, unsure of what he is thinking.
Johnny can see the uncertainty in her eyes, and he feels a pang of guilt for making her wonder where the conversation was going. "Yeah, now" he replies, his voice firm. "It's something I should've said a long time ago. So you're gonna hear me out, okay?"
She nods her head silently as he leads her to the bathroom, it's the only place in this stupid house party with any privacy.
"Is.. Is everything okay?" She asks, her brow furrowing. "Listen if this is about earlier I'm sorry okay-" Johnny shakes his head, cutting her off. "No, it's not about that. I mean, it kind of is, but not really."
He lets out a heavy sigh, taking a step closer to her. "I just... I got something important to tell you, alright? Just promise me you'll hear me out before you respond, okay?"
She looks at him skeptically. She glossed over his serious features, he looked so handsome. "Okay johnny.."
Her agreement washes a wave of relief over him. He takes another step closer to her, their bodies now a mere foot apart.
"Look, I know this seems sudden and random, but I've been thinking about this for a while now," he begins.
He takes a deep breath, steeling himself.
"There's something about you, there's always been something. And it's more than just friendship, more than just a stupid little crush, I-"
"Wait wait wait" She interrupts, even though she said she wouldn't. "Youre- youre drunk, we cant.. you shouldn't be-" Johnny's eyes widen at her interruption, a small flicker of anger flaring up in him. He couldn't believe she was brushing him off right now, when he was finally pouring his heart out to her.
"I'm not drunk" he grumbles, his voice harsh. "And you said you'd hear me out, remember?"
She bites backher words, letting him continue.
Johnny lets out a breath, trying to calm himself. He knows getting mad at her isn't going to help his case.
"I'm not drunk" he repeats, his voice softer this time. "And what I'm trying to say is... Damn, this is harder than I thought it'd be."
He runs a hand through his hair, looking at her with a mix of vulnerability and determination. "I like you. More than I should, in a way that's more than just friends. I have for a long time now, I just never had the guts to say it."
Her eyes widened at his confession. *This isn't happening* This can't happen, Johnny is her best friend. There is no possible way..
"You.. you.." She stuttered.
Johnny could see the shock in her eyes, the disbelief written all over her face. He knew this wasn't easy to hear, especially considering their friendship.
But he couldn't back down now. He'd come too far to turn back.
"You can't tell me you haven't felt something" he says, his voice low and intense. "All the fights we've gotten into, the tension between us, it's never been just friendly. You *know* it hasn't."
Her throat felt dry, this had to be a dream. "I-" he couldn't formulate a proper sentence, especially when he was this close, being this vulnerable, like she'd never seen him before.
Johnny takes another step closer to her, closing the already small gap between them. He's standing directly in front of her now, towering over her smaller frame.
He can see the mixture of shock and confusion in her eyes, and it's almost too much to bear. He never wanted to make her feel like this, but he had to get these feelings off his chest.
"Look at me" he says, his voice firm, but laced with tenderness. "Look me in the eyes and tell me I'm bullshitting."
She looked at him, her best friend. It was always more.. so much more... Her lips parted, trying to come up with anything to say. But there was no use fighting it.
When she meets his eye, Johnny feels a wave of relief wash over him. *She doesn't hate what he's saying.*
He can see the conflict in her eyes, the battle between what she wants and what she thinks is right. But he can also see the spark of something there, something that tells him there's more to her feelings than he realized.
He gently lifts her chin, making sure she's looking directly at him. "Say something" he rasps, his voice betraying just a hint of vulnerability.
"We can't.. We shouldn't.." She struggles, her words saying one thing, but her body saying another as she closes the non existent space between them.
Johnny felt a spark of hope ignite in his chest as she leaned closer to him. Her body was so close to his now, he could feel the heat radiating off her, the way her chest rose and fell with each breath.
He wrapped an arm around her waist, pulling her even closer. "Why not?" he murmured, his voice low and raspy. "Give me one good reason we can't."
His hand sends shivers down her spine, shivers only he could produce. "We're best friends.."
"And friends can't want more than friendship?" he asks, his fingers lightly tracing the small of her back.
He leans in closer, nuzzling his face into the crook of her neck. Her scent is intoxicating, and the feel of her body against his is sending his senses into overdrive.
"Maybe we were never just friends" he whispers against her skin. Her eyes fluttered shut, he was too close for comfort. "Jesus- I can't think straight when you're on me like that" She says breathlessly.
Johnny chuckles, enjoying the effect he's having on her way too much. He knows he's got her now, there's no going back.
He leans in again, his lips brushing the shell of her ear. "Maybe I don't want you thinking straight," he murmurs, his breath hot against her skin. "Maybe I like you like this, all flustered and breathless because of me."
"Johnny.." She pleads, her hands betraying her as she reaches out and cups his chest.
Her touch is like an electric shock to his system. He lets out a low groan, his own hand moving to cover hers, holding it against his chest.
"You don't know what you do to me" he mutters, his voice thick with desire. "The way you say my name..."
"You don't know what *you* do to *me*" She admits, her guard slipping down.
He grins at her words, feeling the last of her resistance crumbling underneath his touch.
He gently pushed her back against the wall, trapping her between the cold tile and his body. His hands find their way to her hips, holding her captive.
"I like that you're helpless against me" he murmurs, his lips moving to her neck, leaving a trail of hot, open-mouthed kisses. "It's driving me crazy."
She lets out small gasps as he peppers her, her eyes drilled shut as he sends tingles everywhere through her. "What are you doing to me.."
"Driving you crazy, apparently" he replies, his lips moving up to her jawline, pressing hot kisses along the sharp angle.
He pushes himself even closer to her, his body flush against hers. He wants her to feel everything, feel just how much he wants her.
"Say it again" he urges, his hands gripping her hips tighter. "Say my name."
"Johnny." She whines.
Her voice, needy and pleading, is the sweetest sound he's ever heard. He can barely control himself, his body is on fire and she's the only thing that can quench the fire.
"Again" he demands, his mouth finding its way to her collarbone, his lips trailing up the soft skin of her neck. "I need to hear you say my name again."
"God Johnny..." She pants, it feels too good. She was used to moaning his name in the privacy of her room late at night, but this was entirely different.
The sound of his name coming from between her sweet, parted lips is almost enough to send him over the edge. He presses her harder against the wall, his body pinning her in place.
He pulls back just enough to look at her face, takes in the flushed cheeks, the heavy-lidded eyes. "You have no idea what you do to me" he murmurs, his voice thick with desire. "You're all I think about, day and night."
"You're everything to me Johnny..." She confesses, finally getting something off her chest. "Being around you but not being *with* you is torture."
Johnny's heart clenches at her words. He knows exactly how she feels. The endless hours spent watching her, aching to touch her, but holding back because he was afraid of ruining everything. But not anymore.
He cups her face in his hands, forcing her to look at him. "Then be with me" he urges, his voice low and firm. "Be mine. "Please."
She closes the gap between them fully,turning her head to the side and connecting her lips to kiss. It was fiery, passionate, and so long overdue.
Electricity dances across his skin the moment her lips touch his. This isn't some drunken, sloppy kiss. It's full of years of pent-up desire and raw emotion.
He kisses her back fiercely, his tongue delving into her mouth, tasting her, claiming her. He grips her hips tighter, pulling her closer, needing to feel all of her against him. He kisses her like he needs her to breathe.
They kiss until they're breathless, against the wall where he holds her to all of the tension that had built up. " Yes.. the answer is yes.." Sheslips in between parting kissing
Her answer, spoken between gasps and kisses, sends a shock of relief through him. He can finally touch her, finally have her without fear of rejection. It's like a dream come true.
He deepens the kiss, his lips moving against hers with a renewed intensity. His hands are everywhere, roaming up her sides, into her hair, down her throat. He wants to touch every inch of her, claim her as his own.
Finally, they pull apart, both of them panting and out of breath. Johnny rests his forehead against hers, taking in the fact that she's his now, for real. "You have no idea how long I've wanted to do that" he mutters, his voice hoarse.
"Me too" She giggles, lacing her fingers through his sandy hair. This boy was beautiful, he really was. She tried to catch her breath, the chemistry between them was so undeniable, and this sealed the deal.
Johnny can't help but smile at her laughter, the sound is like music to his ears. He looks at her, taking in her flushed cheeks, her messy hair. She's never looked more beautiful to him.
"We should go back to the party" he murmurs, though the last thing he wants to do is leave this room. "Everyone's probably wondering where we are."
She nods "Yeah, probably.." She overhears Motley Crue playing, it's her favorite song. She opens the door, going out first.
As they step out of the bathroom, the sounds and sights of the party rush back to them. Johnny reaches for her hand, intertwining his fingers with hers.
"Dance with me" he says, pulling her towards the throngs of people.
"Gladly" She follows. They get to the middle of the floor, all eyes are on them as they begin to move together.
*Ten seconds to love
Ten seconds to love
Pull my trigger
My guns loaded with your love
Ten seconds to love
Ten seconds to love
Just wait honey
Until I tell the boys about you*
The lyrics boomed through the house as they began to grind against each other
The way she moves against him, the way she fits in his arms, it's like they were made for each other. Johnny loses himself in the feel of her body against his, the rhythm of the music guiding their movements.
He pulls her closer, one arm wrapped possessively around her waist, the other on the curve of her hip. The world dissolves around them, reducing to just the two of them, dancing, touching, wanting.
Bobby whistles slowly from the other side of the room, the other cobra kai joining at the scene in front of them.
Johnny smirks, deciding to give his friends a show.
He spins her around, her back pressed to his chest. His hands roam over her body, feeling her curves, claiming her. He wants to show everyone that she's his, now and always.
She backs up right against him, ghosting his hands and moving them around her body as she looks up at him. She wasn't very big on PDA, this was something she could get behind, or at least Johnny was *behind*.
Johnny's mind is going wild, the image of her pressed up against him, moving her body in ways that drive him insane, is almost more than he can handle.
He leans in, his breath hot against her ear, his lips just barely touching her skin. "You're killing me" he murmurs, his hands drifting lower, lower, lower...
"At least you'll die happy" She teases, his hands traveling making her feel something deep in her stomach.
He chuckles darkly, the sound sending a shiver down her spine.
He brings his mouth to her neck, his lips trailing up the soft skin of her throat. "You have no idea how happy" he whispers, his hands settling on her hips, pulling her even closer.
She can feel the firm evidence of his desire pressed against her, his body responding to her every move.
She gasps at the feeling of him hard against her. It was almost too much to bear. Her arms go up, letting him have more access as she lines her jaw with her finger.
Johnny can't get enough of her, her gasp only fueling his growing need. He nips at the sensitive skin of her neck, his hands now tracing the lines of her body with a new purpose, exploring every inch of her.
His fingers dance along her collarbone, down her ribcage, over her hip bone, never still, always seeking more skin to touch. His lips return to her ear, his voice low and rough. "You drive me insane, you know that?"
She smirks up at him, turning back around to face him. He looked flushed, clearly affected by her. And she was loving it. "I haven't even gotten started."
He gives her a crooked smile, her words sending a jolt of desire through him. He runs a hand through his hair, trying to regain some shred of control.
"Careful" he warns, his voice a low growl. "You keep talking like that and I'll take you right here in front of everyone."
She shakes her head at his banter. “You’d love that wouldn’t you?”
Johnny doesn't deny it, his eyes darkened with intense desire. "You have no idea" he mutters, pulling her even closer.
He can feel the heat between them, the way her body responds to his touch. He's so close to losing all self-control, and he knows if she pushes just a little bit more, he'll snap.
"But we're around all of these people so you'll have to behave" she teases. She rolls her body on Johnny, slightly straddling his leg while standing, leaning back and giving him a good visual of what's to come..
His eyes widen at her boldness, her movements sending waves of heat through him.
He grabs her hips tighter, holding her in place against him, his fingers digging into her skin. "Jesus Christ" he mutters, his voice thick with desire. "You can't just- you can't...fuck."
She knows exactly what she's doing to him, *To be fair, he wasn't hiding it.* "Like what you see?" She flirts.
He groans in response, his eyes raking over her body like he wants to devour her. "Like it? I'm about to lose my goddamn mind" he mutters, his grip on her hips almost painfully tight now.
His fingers trace a path up her stomach, teasing the underside of her bra. "You can't do this to me" he says, his voice strained. "Not here, not now. It's not fair."
She melts into his touch, Johnny's big hands dragging so possessive over her frame. It was enough to drench her on the spot. She continues her show for him, rolling slowly and seductively. "I don't know what youre talking about" she feigns innocence.
His breath hitches as she continues to move against him, the effect she's having on him almost unbearable. "You're a goddamn tease, you know that?" he mutters, his hands starting to wander.
He lets one hand slip further up, coming to rest just under her breast, his thumb tracing a lazy circle. "I swear if you don't stop, I'll-" He cuts off, his imagination running wild.
"You'll what?"
"I'll... do things to you..." he mutters, his lips grazing her ear. He's on the edge now, the feeling of her body against him driving him crazy.
He leans in, his breath hot against her skin. "Things that would get us kicked out of here real fast."
He pulls her closer, his body pressed flush against hers, the evidence of his desire evident as he grinds his hips against her. "You want to know what I'll do to you if you keep this up?"
She flushes, she cant take much more of this, her cocky facade crumbling as he whispers suggestive things. "I want to know," she whispers, her throat feeling parched.
His hand on her hip slides down, over her rear, giving it a squeeze. He pulls her body even closer against his, the heat between them threatening to burn them alive.
His lips move to her neck, his tongue trailing along the sensitive skin. "I'll throw you over my shoulder, *again*" he whispers, his voice low and rough. "And carry you to the nearest empty room, lock the door behind us, and show you exactly what you do to me."
Her face feels hot, actually everything does. His filthy words make her blush. "Is that so?"she tries to tease, but the desperation creeps into her tone.
"Mhm" he hums against her skin, his lips moving up her jawline. "And then I'll spread your legs..."
He nips at the lobe of her ear, his hand giving her rear another firm squeeze. "And I'll take my time, make sure you're nice and wet..."
He leans in close, his lips brushing her ear as he whispers, "And when I'm done with you, you won't be able to walk straight for a week."
She looks at him, lips parted, heart racing. *Deep breaths, deep breaths...* "I..." forming a sentence feels goddamn impossible.
Her vision is muddled with images of him and her, ones she's dreamed and fantasized about, but knowing how close it's coming to fruition..
He smirks at her inability to respond, her breathless expression making him want her more than ever. He knows he's got her right where he wants her now, and there's no going back.
He steps even closer to her, so close there's barely an inch separating them. He runs a hand up her neck, his fingers gently grasping her chin and forcing her to look at him.
"You look so goddamn beautiful when you're all flustered" he murmurs, his voice filled with desire. "I wonder what faces you'll make when I finally get you alone..."
"Johnny.." She breathes, unable to formulate a single thought. She can't think of anything else but getting alone with him.
The sound of her saying his name, all breathless and needy, drives him wild. He knows exactly what she wants, because he wants it just as badly.
He wraps his arms around her waist, pulling her tight against him. "Say please," he whispers, his lips barely touching hers. "Beg for it."
"Please..." she pleads "Just get me out of here Johnny.."
He grabs her hand, his fingers intertwining with hers, and starts leading her through the sea of people. His friends cat call and whistle, but Johnny ignores them, focused solely on getting her alone.
He drags her through the house, searching for an available room, any room. He can't wait, needs her now.
Finally, he spots a door cracked open, the lights off inside. He leads her inside, shuts the door, and locks it behind them.
The moment the door clicks shut, he's on her. His hands are everywhere, roaming over her body like a man possessed.
He kisses her hungrily, his lips and tongue devouring her as he presses her into the bed.
Her hair forms like a halo around her head as she kisses him back, her body aching for him and only him. He drove her insane with his words, she wonders if he's all talk…
There’s no restraint left in him now. All the years of pent-up desire, the memories of her, everything fueling his hunger. He needs her, needs to prove how good he can make her feel.
His hands find the hem of her shirt, his fingers slipping under the fabric. "Lift your arms" he whispers, his voice thick with need.
She submits, lifting up her arms and letting him undress her. He swiftly takes off her top, unclipping her bra while he's at it and taking it off. She shimmies off her skirt, her panties with it. She does the same to him, taking off his shirt eagerly.
He steps back, letting her undress him.
Once he's bare before her, he lets out a shaky breath, unable to resist any longer. He lunges for her, pinning her down onto the bed. "God, I want you so much" he mutters, his lips trailing down her neck, her collarbone, her chest…
Her body twists at his lips, setting small fires all through her skin. She whimpers at the intimate act.
He takes his time with her body, mapping it with his lips and tongue. He wants every inch of her, wants to claim her as his.
He moves lower, his lips brushing over her hip bone, his hand skimming over her inner thigh.
She hisses, the sensation is mind numbing. He is so close to where she needs him most.
He smirks, fully aware of how impatient she's getting, but he wants to draw this out, wants to tease her, just like she did to him.
His lips ghost over the sensitive skin of her inner thigh, his hand coming to rest just above her core, not quite touching where she wants him most. "Beg for it" he commands, his voice gruff and rough.
"Please Johnny.. Please just do something" she begs, her voice shaky.
He smirks, his lips hovering over her core, his breath hot against her sensitive skin. "What do you want me to do?" he asks, his voice a low growl, already knowing the answer.
Her words send a jolt through him, his hunger for her growing even more. "Mmm, I think I can manage that" he mutters, his lips hovering just centimeters from her.
He's teasing her, the anticipation is almost too much to bear. "I want to know how sweet you are."He presses his lips to her then, giving her exactly what she craves. His tongue tastes her, exploring her, slowly and deliberately.
He savors every moment, every sound she makes, every time her body jerks in response to his touch. He loves the way she tastes, the way she responds to him.
He worked her with his tongue, it felt like magic.
"Oh, g-god!" her back arched, the ache being resolved by his expert tongue.
He works her with his tongue, his lips, his teeth, determined to give her the most intense pleasure she's ever experienced. He wants to make her scream, wants her to forget her own name, wants to be the reason she can't walk tomorrow.
Her hand flies to his head, the blonde hairs feeling soft against her fingers. "Wow...Johnny, oh my god" she moans as her toes curl in pleasure.
He takes his time, his tongue dancing over her sensitive flesh. Her reaction fuels his lust, his desire to give her pleasure mounting with each gasp and moan she makes.
He knows exactly what she needs, and he's determined to give it to her, to make her lose control, to make her scream his name. He's getting damn close to coming just from making her feel good.
"Johnny.. I want you to fuck me" she moans desperately.
Her words fuel the fire inside him, igniting a primal need to make her his. He lifts his head, his lips capturing hers in a bruising kiss.
He positions himself between her legs, his body pressed firmly against hers. "You want me?" he whispers between kisses. "You want me to fill you up?"
"Please johnny.." She begs.
He can't resist her anymore, her begging is too much. He aches to be inside her, to feel her wrapped around him.
He positions himself at her entrance, his cock hard and aching for her. "You're mine.. say you're mine" He stoves himself inside her wetness
"I'm yours!" she screams in pleasure, her body filled with a sweet burn.
The sound of her saying it, the feeling of her body, it's like nothing he's ever experienced before. He's overwhelmed by it all, drowning in her.
His hands grip her hips, his mouth finding her neck, leaving a trail of burning kisses in their wake. "You feel so damn good.. so tight and wet and.. ah, god.." He moans, slowly moving.
"You fill me up *so* good Johnny" Her eyes roll back, the pressure inside her is nothing like she's ever known.
"Mmm, that's good baby" he mutters, his voice strained. The feeling of her wrapped around him, it's driving him insane.
He moves deeper, hitting that spot inside her that makes her gasp. "You feel so good, you have no idea.." he moans, thrusting steadily.
All of the years, she couldn't believe she was missing out on this. She spread her legs further so he could get deeper. She turned into a whimpering mess.
She's coming apart under him, her body responding to his every touch, every movement. He's intoxicated by her, completely addicted to the way she feels, the sounds she makes.
He moves faster, deeper, needing more of her, loving her at his mercy.
"God, you have no idea how long I've wanted this.. how much I've wanted you.." he mutters, his breathing ragged.
"Oh, Johnny" she groans, letting him have all of her. Her body arching toward him in ecstasy.
He doesn't hold back at all, he's lost in her, completely taken by her. She's like an addiction, he can't get enough, can't get close enough.
He moves faster, his arms wrapping around her, pulling her body flush against his. "I want you to come for me" he whispers, his lips trailing over her skin. “I want you to come all over my cock.”
She looks up at him panting, on the edge. "I'm so close Johnny" She begs "Just keep going.."
The sound of her begging, her voice all filled with need and pleading, it's music to his ears. He's close too but he needs her to come first, needs to feel her fall apart in his arms.
He moves faster, deeper, harder, his body pressed tight against hers. "That's it baby, come for me.. let go" he whispers, his lips against her ear.
He pushes her over the edge, waves of pleasure go throughout her body as she writhes in it all.. she moans his name as she lays back, squirmy at the sensations.
The feeling of her coming around him, it's enough to push him over the edge. He can't control himself, he's lost in the moment, completely. He thrusted a last time as he fills her up “Fuck, baby.” He groans breathing heavily and falling next to her. He wraps his arms around her, pulling her close against him, burying his face in the crook of her neck. He's completely wrung.
"That was..."
"...Amazing" he finishes her sentence, his voice hoarse. He props himself up on his forearms, looking down at her with a look of awe on his face.
"You okay?" he asks, his eyes searching her face. He's still trying to catch his breath, his body heavy against hers.
She nods, smiling "Yes" she affirmations, planting a short and sweet kiss on his cheek.
He smiles at that, a genuine, satisfied smile. He's feeling damn good right now, completely and utterly satisfied. He looks down at her, taking in her flushed cheeks and messy hair, the aftermath of their encounter.
He leans down to plant a kiss on her forehead, gently pushing a stray strand of hair away from her eyes.
"You're beautiful" he mutters, his voice almost a whisper. He doesn't just mean the way she looks, he means everything about her, everything that makes her who she is.
"and you're... finally my boyfriend."
He can't help but chuckle at that, her words making his heart flutter.
He nuzzles his face into the crook of her neck, pressing soft kisses against her skin. "Yeah, I am" he murmurs, a smile on his face. "And I intend to be a damn good one at that."

Does anyone want to read some rambling and potentially biased meta on Robby and Johnny’s relationship largely based on my own experience with shitty parents?
No? You don’t want to read me over-analyzing the silly karate show? That’s fair... I’ll put it under a cut.
So, like, right off the bat I’d like to say this isn’t aimed at anyone in particular. (No, not even you. Don’t flatter yourself.) This is something that has been bugging me since before I made this blog and was solely composing tl;dr replies about it on Reddit.
Secondly, Cobra Kai isn’t prestige television. It’s a karate soap opera that doesn’t take itself too seriously and exists in a heightened reality where kids become black belts in a month and take to the streets in rival gangs, terrorizing the innocent civilians unlucky enough to be caught in the crossfire. I’m not holding it up to real-world logic or laws. I can’t. The police that exist there are mostly powerless and largely theoretical. Watching them arrest Kreese was like seeing a cryptid in the wild.
Thirdly, I’m not 100% sure who these Johnny apologists I keep hearing about are, but I apologize on behalf of no one. All my favs are problematic trash fires. I dumpster dive for my favs. I love me a mess as long as the show acknowledges them as such. Which this one does constantly. It’s fiction, and I’m really sick of seeing people make the leap that liking a character means you endorse their actions... Tangentially, I’d also argue that Daniel is his own trash fire. But, like, a classier trash fire? One that’s like a controlled burn in a metal barrel after you called the fire station and asked if it’s okay. But that’s a weird metaphor and an overly long meta post for another day.
Finally, don’t come for me, y’all? Feel free to reply and disagree, but I just got here. This is my comfort show. It’s fun. It’s binge-worthy. I love talking meta and over-analyzing with folks, but a lot of people online seem to get weirdly heated about all of this, and I just don’t have the energy for that.
With all that out of the way... The number of people I see complaining that Robby forgave Johnny too easily kinda irks me. He didn’t, and this repeated assertion that he did feels like an over-simplification of ambiguous grief and the cycle of abuse/trauma.
Robby might be the most emotionally intelligent teen on the show. He’s pretty darn level-headed and thoughtful when he isn’t letting negative emotions dominate his decision making.
S4 feels like the writers have finally started to address that rather than the character just being, for me personally, an unlikable mess. AND NOT BECAUSE OF HOW HE INTERACTS WITH JOHNNY. Can everyone in the back hear me? He is the child in that relationship. He’s valid in feeling what he feels and avoiding who he wants to avoid.
My problems with the character stemmed from his interactions with his peers. Sam, especially. God, if I see another person act like she owed him something, I’m climbing over my desk and through the monitor I’ll do nothing. But boy will I be miffed. Watch out. I’ve got a soapbox and I’m not afraid to use it... If I have the spoons to... Maybe... We’ll see! ...but probably not.
Anyway, this is all an extremely roundabout way to say that anger is exhausting. Especially when you’re using it to put up walls.
Robby and Kenny paralleled Johnny and Robby this season. But the point wasn’t that Robby is analogous to Johnny; it’s that he sees himself in Kenny. It’s not 1:1 and it’s only their relationship in extreme miniature, but it clearly disturbs him.
The cycle of abuse that started before he was born is flashing in front of his eyes, and its weight is immense. He needs someone who understands to help shoulder that and, instinctively, he goes to his dad.
He’s giving himself permission to be vulnerable. To shed that anger and lower his defenses. I said it before, but I’ll say it again, that shit is so exhausting it’s life-destroying.
I can identify with Robby but, honestly, I can identify with Johnny more.
Both of my parents were fucking awful. When I was 14, I was hospitalized. My dad didn’t want to deal with that, and I never saw him again.
My mother, meanwhile, kept tracking me down even after I packed up at 17 and skipped town... and the county... and the state.
And, boy o’ boy, abusers that won’t stay out of your life or even acknowledge they were abusive are just the best, huh? And you WANT that relationship with them. That’s the worst part. I feel Johnny letting Kreese back in. Because you want to do what Robby did. You want to give yourself permission to be vulnerable and let your walls down and let them be the parent to you they never were.
But people like that can’t be there for you if they won’t even admit their mistakes. They can manipulate you and they can gaslight you and they can even genuinely love you and think they’re telling the truth, but they can’t be there for you. You can be there for them, and they’ll take that and run with it until you’re all used up and feeling like an idiot. And then you feel like an even bigger idiot when you give them countless additional chances. It’s, like, the slowest lesson to learn and the easiest to forget. But you’re just so desperate for that specific kind of relationship. And you’re so afraid you’re never going to be able to let go of that soul-crushing anger because you can’t get closure. They have none for you. They don’t think there’s anything to close.
Robby isn’t quite in that place yet. He has his mother that is turning her life around for him and he has Daniel who desperately wants to be for him the kind of mentor he had as a child and he has an undependable father that wants to be there for him.
They’re all far from perfect, (Johnny especially.) but they all recognize they fucked up. They’re not denying it. And, to bring it back to the scene at the end of S4, Johnny stresses that Robby didn’t do anything wrong and that he should blame him as the root of so many of his problems. We’re seeing history repeat with Robby giving Johnny another chance like Johnny did with Kreese. But Kreese is a manipulator you’ve got to drag kicking and screaming to even the smallest revelation in how they hurt you.
With Robby and Johnny there is the possibility of a relationship. There’s a chance to break that shitty cycle these guys are all in.
And, good Lord, can I extrapolate on Robby and Johnny’s relationship without people crying apologism? Because there are other factors we see in the show and implying that abuse/trauma is straightforward and easily traced back to a single, obvious root is the kind of shit that keeps kids from realizing the situation they’re in.
Shitty parents are still people. They’re still a pile of cascading failures that led to things being like they are.
The show leads me to believe that Johnny and Robby have had a father/son relationship. A consistent one? God, no. Obviously not.
But we see pictures Johnny kept where Robby drew both of his parents. We see a soccer photo on a fridge. We see that Robby wants to upset his dad and knows him well enough to do it, giving Daniel the relationship with him that he knows Johnny wants but is always failing at.
And because it’s been a minute since I stressed this, please don’t come at me with pitchforks: JOHNNY IS NOT A GOOD FATHER. HE IS BARELY A FATHER. NOT HAVING A GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH HIS SON IS HIS OWN FAULT. WE KNOW THIS. THE SHOW KNOWS THIS. IT IS KNOWN.
That said, there are contributing factors that didn’t fucking help. Shannon had an extremely unhealthy, codependent relationship with her son at the start of the series. Parental alienation happened. Shannon explicitly states that it did. We see it happening in the first season when Shannon lets it slip that Johnny wants Robby to come live with him.
Robby is actually considering it; he seems cautiously optimistic... But then he sees Johnny and Miguel hugging in a parking lot and that idea is tossed out. Which is super irrational but completely understandable for an angry teen that resents (And is 110% justified in that resentment) his dad.
And, boy, I could go off on a whole tangent about how Shannon is basically Laura Lawrence, but that’s yet another rambling meta post for another day... which has passed. That day is in the past. That is to say, it’s already on my blog somewhere.
And, yes, leaving Robby with Cobra Kai is ridiculous. So is deciding on the fate of the Valley through a fucking tournament arc. So are warring children’s karate dojos caused by Vietnam. So are all the other things we just kind of handwave so the show can get from point A to point B and let the plot happen. The show needs to go go go. We’ll lampshade it next season. First hand that child a set on nunchucks and chuck that one in a cement mixer. So many ridiculous things to do; so little time; so few ways to explain it that sometimes we just don’t. “Police? What police? Oh, right, um... Sam didn’t want to draw things out. Does that sound plausible? No? Fuck it, that’s what happened. Now go, honey. Go with the nice alcoholic, and parkour off a roof.”
And also... oh, Jesus, this is a bunch of text. This is entirely too much text. Imma stop myself here before I get started on something else and this goes from slightly unreadable to completely unreadable.

So since I like to suffer I decided to do two variants- the leather jacket which was the most voted and what will now be referred to as “the cursed jacket” Thx to @phantomcomet for burning the image of that jacket in my brain forever and to @underture and @w-the-fury-of-gods-own-thunder for hopping on the cursed jacket bandwagon- y’all asked for this XD (also @wonderwolfballoon just cuz <3)
