when  she  first  started  training  under  johnny,  the  cursing  surprised  her  because  it  was  so  different  than  how  her  father  talked  to  her.  but  she  liked  that  johnny  didn’t  wear  kiddy  gloves  with  her.  he  treated  her  like  an  adult,  and  that  kind  of  tough  love  was  what  she  needed  after  being  treated  like  a  ‘ spoiled  princess ‘  according  to  literally  every  person  she  knew.  she  was  sick  of  it.  she  wasn’t  some  delicate  little  flower,  and  that  was  proven  by  how  hard  she  had  been  hitting  the  bag  just  a  moment  before  this  conversation.  “sorry.  for  almost  hitting  you,”  she  interjected,  frown  tugging  on  her  lips.  she  was  frustrated  with  the  world  and  her  life  and  everything  in  it,  but  her  sensei  was  one  of  the  only  people  who  could  make  her  feel  like  herself  anymore,  like  when  he  convinced  her  to  leap  from  one  roof  to  another.  she  felt  more  alive  in  that  moment  than  she  had  in  a  long  time.  “no,  you’re  not  like  my  dad  are  you?”  she  asked,  just  stating  a  fact.  the  two  senseis  couldn’t  be  more  different,  but  samantha  needed  both  of  their  styles.  who  knows  what  she  would  have  done  to  that  poor  bag  if  she  wasn’t  still  practicing  kata  with  her  father  to  ground  her.  she  opened  her  mouth  to  answer,  but  closed  it  instead  and  shrugged.  “i  could  punch  you  instead,”  she  replied,  mostly  kidding.  “if  only  i  had  a  dojo  to  practice  in  instead.  maybe  i  could  join  cobra  kai,”  she  threw  out  sarcastically,  taking  another  sip  of  her  water.

     𝗯𝗹𝘂𝗲  𝗲𝘆𝗲𝘀  𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘆  𝗳𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗱  𝗼𝗻  𝗵𝗲𝗿,     trying  to  figure  out  what  was  going  on  in  her  head  without  having  to  get  it  out  of  her,  but  he  knew  that  she  was  unlikely  to  give  anything  away.     an  eyebrow  raises  at  her  comment  about  him  not  being  like  her  dad,  unsure  of  what  she  really  meant  by  that  and  unsure  if  he  really  wanted  to  know  the  answer.     a  small  smirk  pulls  at  his  lips,  shrugging  his  shoulders,      “     would  that  make  you  feel  better?     throwing  punches  at  an  actual  person  rather  than  a  punching  bag?      ”     johnny  asked,  he  would  definitely  spar  with  her  if  that’s  what  she  felt  like  she  needed  and  he  would  rather  her  throw  punches  at  him  than  at  someone  else.     he  stands  up  straight,  kicking  his  shoes  off  as  he  shakes  his  head,      “     look  i  know  you’re  joking,  but  don’t  say  that  again.      you  don’t  need  to  go  there,  we  can  still  train  with  or  without  a  dojo,      ”     stepping  into  the  empty  space  in  miyagi - do,  he  looks  over  at  her,      “     you  wanna  fight  someone  so  badly,  princess,  why  don’t  you  fight  me?      ”     he’s  only  lightly  taunting  her,  knowing  the  effect  the  nickname  has  on  her  and  he  also  knows  that  feeling,  that  unmatched  anger  and  willingness  to  jump  into  a  fight  at  any  given  moment.     johnny  just  shrugged  his  shoulders  again,      “     either  we  can  fight  or  talk  more  about  feelings,  whichever  you  prefer,  but  i  know  how  fired  up  you  must  be  feeling  and  punching  me  is  gonna  feel  a  lot  better  than  hitting  that  punching  bag,      ”

hand kisses

exploring each other's lips

smiling in-between kisses

now-or-never kisses

caressing your lover's cheek

good night kisses

''i was supposed to take a shower, alone, but go ahead jump right in''

brushing lips together, lingering for a moment, catching your breath

an accidental kiss between two exes

kisses in which, we've already said goodbye for the day but i can't help stealing another one

this might be our last kiss so let's make it last

kitchen counter make-outs

jumping into your lover's arms

soft kisses while cuddling in bed

i missed you kisses

a kiss leaving you breathless

stopping a kiss when it gets too heated

a kiss on the cheek that turns into a kiss on the lips

trailing kisses from your lover's lips to their neck

''everything is going to be okay'' kisses

kisses that start out passionate but grows more delicate

pulling away from a kiss to look at each other, smiling as you dive in for another kiss

a kiss to celebrate an engagement

wrapping your legs around your lover's body as they lift you

a goodbye kiss expect neither can let go

''we shouldn't do this'' but they do so, anyway

a swirling reunion kiss

''i've had a terrible day at work so just kiss me''

a kiss that lasts longer than it should

tending to your lover's wound, placing a kiss on top of their head, grateful they're still alive

a goodbye kiss that says ''i don't love you the way you love me, and i'm setting you free''

spinning your lover into a kiss on the dance floor

kisses in which, ''i can't believe this is real, but i love you so much''

tucking a strand of hair behind your lover's ear

tracing your lips against the corner of your lover's mouth

light kisses scattered across your lover's face down to their collarbone

pulling your lover into your lap, them straddling your hips

bushing your lips against your lover's, wanting to savior the moment

playful kisses, such as, ‘‘i’m not going to kiss you.’‘ ‘‘why?’‘ ‘‘because if i do, i don’t think we’re getting out of bed today’‘

kissing your lover's wounds after having bandaged them up

mistletoe kisses

surprising your lover from behind, smacking a kiss on their cheek

caressing your lover's cheek

trying to concentrate on a task, but your lover kisses your neck, making your head spin

looking deep into your lover's eyes, before dropping your gaze to their lips

shushing your lover as they try to kiss you, telling them tonight is all about them, not you

a kiss only meant to last a moment, but when your lips meet, you can't pull away from each other

leaning into your lover's touch, their fingers tracing down your stomach, their body pressed against yours

a tender kiss on your lover's chest

kissing your lover so gently, worried that if you pull away for just one second, they might disappear

an accidental kiss that confuses you both, but only a moment pass before you crash your lips back against each other's

lingering forehead against forehead, consumed by each other and barely having enough strength to breathe

accidentally bumping noses

kissing your lover's forehead, then bending down to meet their lips

a kiss to forgive each other after an argument

standing on your tippy toes, frustrated you can't reach your lover's lips

unrequited love that is now requited, and a kiss that proves it

legs wrapped around your lover's body, hands tearing their shirt off

pushing your lover onto the bed, kissing down their stomach

throwing your lover over your shoulder, carrying them towards the bed

crashing your lips together during an argument

kisses in which, ''we just broke up, but let's kiss one last time''

whispering ''i love you'' in-between kisses

your lover pinning your arms above your head, telling you to stay quiet

trying to deny your feelings, but attraction gets the best of you, and you push them up against the wall

smiling in-between kisses

reunion kisses, ''i thought you were dead''

not being able to focus on anything during a conversation, you're too busy staring at your lover's lips

kisses in which ‘i’ll kiss you right now to prove i don’t feel anything for you’‘ but the kiss proves the opposite

kissing each other's pain away, your tears mixing with your lover's

your lover pulls you away from a kiss, asks you to marry them

telling your lover you want all of them tonight

grabbing hold of your lover's collar, begging them to kiss you

sliding your hands down your lover's chest, unzipping their zipper

untying your lover's tie, using it to pull your lover into a kiss

not being able to unbutton your lover's shirt, their kisses are everywhere and too distracting

kissing your lover's tears away

passionately making-out against a wall

“let’s just kiss to see what it’s like” then pulling away, lingering for a moment, then going in for the second kiss

hungry kisses and ripped apart clothes

''it's always been you'' kisses

Johnny enticing Daniel...

THAT   WAS   THE   PROBLEM   REALLY,   HE   WORRIES   TOO   MUCH.   it’s   entirely   in   his   character   to   just   worry   to   the   point   of   not   knowing   what   else   to   do   but   to   worry,   and   it   freeze   him   in   fear   in   place,   worried   to   move   forward   if   that   means   leaving   the   kids   exposed.   it   had   been   one   of   the   reasons   of   a   recent   fight   with   johnny   and   has   him   concerned   that   if   it   keeps   happening,   johnny   will   leave.   and   there   he   is   again,   worrying   more   and   more   with   the   time.   so   he   takes   on   johnny’s   words   for   the   time   being   and   tries   not   to   be   too   concerned.

instead,   he   focuses   on   johnny’s   touch,   as   he   moves   to   help   him   remove   his   shirt,   doing   it   slowly   and   carefully,   compared   with   how   he   would’ve   done   it   himself.   “from   both   of   us,   you   are   the   hot   boyfriend,   not   me.”      because   it’s   easier   in   his   brain   to   associate   johnny   as   that.   hot.   strong.   in   his   mind,   johnny   was   all   of   those   things   and   not   just   with   muscles.   he   was   caring,   and   loving   and   felt   things   too   much   and   he   keeps   thinking   about   the   different   and   same   mantra   he   keeps   thinking   about   them.      and   when   the   other   leaves,   he   does   as   told,   remove   clothes,   still,   wrapping   a   towel   around   him   for   the   time   being   as   he   waits.   he   lets   a   hand   drop   to   the   water   below,   testing   it   and   once   it’s   warm   enough,   he   gets   inside,   almost   groaning   in   relief   at   the   feeling.

and   when   johnny   comes   around,   reaching   for   the   cup   of   tea.   it   was   warm   enough   and   he   does   drink   a   sip   before   leaving   it   on   the   nearby   holder   near   the   tub.   “you   are   so   bossy   today.”   he   likes   it.   and   he   needs   it   at   the   moment,   usually,   it’s   him   who   is   bossing   johnny   around.   but   daniel   does,   pushing   his   body   against   johnny’s,   his   back   against   the   other’s   broad   chest.   “you   are   warmer   than   the   tub,   how   is   that   possible?”

     𝗵𝗲  𝗱𝗶𝗱𝗻'𝘁  𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲  𝘀𝗲𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴  𝗱𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗲𝗹  𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲  𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀,     body  bruised,  mind  distracted  and  of  course,  it  left  both  of  them  feeling  defeated  and  it  was  something  that  the  kids  couldn’t  find  out  about.     he  didn’t  know  what  to  do  to  help  daniel  feel  safe  again,  he  didn’t  know  what  to  say  to  comfort  him.     all  he  could  really  offer  was  these  moments  of  distraction  and  hope  that  was  enough  to  keep  daniel  at  peace,  even  if  it  was  only  for  a  short  while.     johnny couldn’t  hep  but  wish  he  could  do  more,  he  just  didn’t  know  what  they  could  do  and  what  was  needed  of  him.     for  now,  he  would  settle  for  treating  his  injuries  and  keeping  him  close  for  the  night.

     𝗷𝗼𝗵𝗻𝗻𝘆  𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘀  𝘀𝗼𝗳𝘁𝗹𝘆  𝗮𝘀  𝗱𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗲𝗹  𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗻𝘀  𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸  𝗮𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘁  𝗵𝗶𝗺,     hands  running  up  daniel’s  arms  as  he  presses  a  gentle  kiss  to  his  neck,      “     you  like  it  when  i’m  bossy,  you  can’t  deny  that.     plus  sometimes  it’s  the  only  way  to  get  you  to  listen,      ”     he  teases,  hands  moving  to  his  shoulders  and  rubbing  them  gently,  trying  to  soothe  some  of  the  tension  out  of  daniel’s  body.     he  smiles  at  his  comment,  leaning  his  head  against  his  for  a  moment,      “     just  relax  and  enjoy  it,      ”     he  tells  him,  knowing  there  is  no  point  bringing  up  how  much  he  wants  to  make  silver  and  barnes  pay  for  hurting  him.     he  was  sure  daniel  already  knew,  but  right  now,  he  wanted  to  just  help  him  relax  as  much  as  he  could.

     "      𝗶'𝗺  𝗴𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴  𝘆𝗼𝘂  𝗱𝗼𝗻'𝘁  𝘄𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗮  𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗸  𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁  𝗶𝘁,      "     johnny  said  softly,  slowly  massaging  his  shoulder,  knowing  if  the  roles  were  reversed  that  he  wouldn’t  want  to  talk  about  it.     he  just  wish  he  had  been  there  to  make  sure  daniel  didn’t  get  hurt.     seeing  daniel  hurt  like  this  made  his  blood  boil  and  he  hated  seeing  it,  he  just  wanted  all  of  this  to  stop  and  for  them  to  just  live  peacefully,  teach  their  kids  karate  and  just  live  their  lives  without  silver  trying  to  ruin  it  all.     hands  move  to  wrap  his  arms  around  him,  leaning  his  head  against  his  once  more  and  he  sighs  softly,      “     i  don’t  like  seeing  you  hurt  like  this,      ”
