You'd almost had it: almost. Mr Miyagi had said he was teaching you karate, yet you had been stood there covered in paint, arms completely dead, incredibly tired and confused. You remember when he had come home from the apartment complex on that night, you finally snapped at him, yelling accusations at Mr Miyagi, you complained about acting like his slave. "I would've done all of these things for you, anyway! But you said I was training; this is bullshit!" Mr Miyagi grunted, claiming, 'Ah, you are." At which point, you swore at him for a second time and began to walk away, fully intending not to come back. But, something in his voice as he called your name to, 'come here,' made you stop in your tracks and turn around. The next few minutes were intense and felt like something out of an expertly written hero novel.

How were you to know that all along, he was teaching you perseverance and muscle memory? Each chore - waxing, washing, painting, sanding... was his genius way of instilling the blocks into your mind. You felt stupid, though you probably had good reason to get mad, and you realised that he knew you eventually would.

After that, you did everything he told you to do. If he wanted you to join him on a fishing trip and stand dangerously on the edge of the bow, you would. If he asked you to fix up a hole in the wall, hammer some nails, sweep the floors - whatever the task may be; you would do it, knowing that there was always a lesson to learn with him. And even if there wasn't one, you couldn't deny helping your best friend.

You had a great deal of respect for your friend and sensei. When you moved into the apartment complex, you were pretty introverted, and you didn't get out all that much. You only left the house for school and a little fresh air every so often. You also didn't have many friends; the people you spoke to were merely classmates and project partners. But then the fridge at your place had decided to pack in, everything inside melted and turned rotten, so your Mum told you to go and find the 'maintenance man'. That's when you first met Mr Miyagi.

A few weeks later, after your shower had decided to break this time, you went to see him again and found him trimming little bonsai trees. You had had a few bonsais since you were young, but unfortunately, you always managed to kill them; that was until Mr Miyagi happily agreed to teach you how to care for them properly.

A few months passed, and you had somehow learned about his family karate, and it took a lot of convincing, but you managed to get him to agree to train you, thinking that it would give you more to do and it would, of course, come in handy if you ever needed to use it. Your parents were thrilled about this. Finally, you had made a friend and had more reasons to leave the house daily, rather than spending so much time watching TV.

A pact, some chores, and a magical moment later, you were best friends first, and then teacher and a student second. And there was not a single day where you didn't go to see him for at least a minute, even if it was just to say a quick hello.

-

About a year later, when Mr Miyagi casually brought up in conversation that he had a new student, you were pretty damn confused. "Since when? How did I not notice this?"

"Ah, bad timing. Every time Miyagi with him, you with bonsai, or someplace else." He pointed out. "New student, ah, live only a few doors from Y/N-san apartment, too."

"Oh." You wonder if you've already met this person or maybe passed them on the way to school without really noticing. You carefully snip some more leaves from your latest little bonsai project. "Well, how come you're training this kid, anyway? It took me some real grovelling and persistence to convince you to teach me."

"Hai." Mr Miyagi laughs at this. "Boy, uh, have problem with friends. Beat up many times, so make a deal with wacko sensei." You hear the little sounds of him gently spraying some of the trees. "Fight in tournament, then leave boy alone."

"The All Valley?" You frown.

"Hai."

"So, this new student of yours... has to win the whole tournament, and then they'll stop beating up on him?"

"Win, lose, no matter. If he makes good fight, will earn respect, then nobody bother." Mr Miyagi pauses for a moment then, before smiling and nodding at you. "Miyagi, glad you no get into fights."

"I don't know anyone to get into a fight with." You laugh. "Unless you are down for a match, huh, Mr Miyagi?"

"Ha, Y/N-san, you much humour." He looks thoughtful for a moment, and then you watch as he smirks a little. "Much like Daniel-san. Hm, you would make good friends."

"Daniel.. that's his name, then?"

"Ah, yes. And both ask a lot of question, too."

"So," You put down your clippers and shuffle around on your chair to face Mr Miyagi properly, resting your elbow on the counter. "When can I meet this new student of yours?"

"Come. We go right now."

"Uh... now?" You watch him place the spray bottle down and walk towards the door. "Wait, Mr Miyagi?" You laugh in disbelief as you take your jacket from a small peg and slip it back on, swiftly moving to follow your friend.

-

"Y/N-san?" Mr Miyagi calls your name just as you get to catch up to him, and you both start to walk towards where the truck is, parked up outside of the apartment complex. "Ah. You drive, let's go."

He hands you the keys, and you frown. "I didn't mean we should go right now, you know."

"Is good time to go, Daniel-san is back at house. Have to check on him anyway."

"What-" You flashback to the day you spent washing and waxing every single car in Miyagi's front yard. "Oh! First lesson, huh?"

"Hai." You give each other a knowing look, and then both hop into the truck and head off. You spend the short journey wondering how long Daniel will last before losing it over the chores and sore shoulders.

-

"Ah, good work, Daniel-san." Mr Miyagi looks over the cars as he walks by them all. Before Daniel can register his comment or even speak, Mr Miyagi introduces the two of you. "This is Y/N-san, a special friend to Miyagi."

"Hey! Yeah, I'm Y/N Y/L/N." You offer a hand to Daniel while Miyagi disappears into the house. "Good to meet you."

"Uh, hi." Daniel drops the giant yellow sponge into the bucket by his feet, wipes his sweaty forehead with his arm and then shakes your hand. 

"Daniel... LaRusso."

"So, how's it going, newbie?"

"'Newbie'?" Daniel frowns. "What do you mean, 'newbie'?"

"Well, I was Mr Miyagi's first student, so that makes you the newbie... right?" You smirk and then turn around and start to circle the car, pretending to inspect his work.

"You know karate?" You stop and look over the car at Daniel, giving him an accusatory look, as if to say, 'are you being judgemental because I am a female who knows martial arts?' Daniel catches it right away and starts fumbling with his words. "No! I didn't mean because you're- I mean, I'm not being- I was asking as a general question, I-"

"Okay, okay. Jeez, chill out, rambles. You know I was messing with you?"

"Yeah... yeah." His mouth slightly agape, he diverts his eyes, looking anywhere but at you. "Right."

"Alright. Well, I'm going to go and say goodbye to Miyagi, and then head home, so", You finish your circle around the car, standing next to Daniel again and giving the car a couple of slaps. "I will hopefully see you soon. Nice meeting ya."

"You too." As you walk towards the house, you hear the sloshing of the water as Daniel picks up the sponge. You smile and mutter to yourself as you walk, "Good luck with the sanders."

-

The next day, Mr Miyagi sits in the garden, sanding the edges of the boardwalk, waiting for Daniel. You had spent the morning here, throwing punches and practising kicks on the heavy bag.

"Oh, man, this is beautiful. Mr Miyagi, this is great. You've got real fish in there." You stop kicking, catching the bag and watching as Daniel walks through the garden, spilling compliments and looking around in awe. "This is outrageous. I thought Chung Lee's restaurant was nice. You beat his act. This is paradise."

You find yourself laughing at his rambling as Mr Miyagi just carries on with his work. He barely mutters an "Hai" when Daniel asks, "Did you do this yourself?"

You walk over to join them, staring down as Daniel sits down and picks up the sanders. "Are these bongos? No, I got it."

You giggle when he starts to sing. Mr Miyagi finally looks up, too, joining in on the laughter. "Daniel-san, you much humour." You twitch a brow at that same compliment Mr Miyagi had paid you just last night.

"Mr Miyagi, I'm going to head home now." You walk around them, patting Daniel on the shoulder. "See you around, Danny."

He looks up, and you momentarily find yourself enjoying the sunlit view of his tanned face and perfectly shaped lips. "You're not staying?"

"Uh-" You shake your head a little, snapping yourself out of it. "No. Probably best I leave you guys to it."

Daniel looks between you and Miyagi. "But aren't you, like, still learning, too?"

"Always. But I don't want to be intruding; this is only your second lesson, after all." You look back to your teacher, who is smiling at you both. "Mr Miyagi, I'll see you tomorrow."

You bow to your sensei and then to Daniel. During your bike ride home, you can't help grinning as you think about your fellow student, especially in that green plaid he'd been wearing.

-

You are sitting with your legs dangling over the edge of the pool when Daniel walks through the complex. "Y/N?"

"Oh, hey, Danny."

"What're you doin' out here" He stops next to the steps and sits down on the lowest one.

"Just enjoying the evening breeze. How was it with Mr Miyagi today?"

You clock the hand he has rested against his shoulder. He moves it around, grimacing. "Um..."

"Something wrong?" You prompt.

"No, it's just, I-" He stands up again. "What was your second lesson with him?"

You think quickly about how to reply, not wanting to give anything away. "The first few weeks were mostly learning to block and balance. Why?"

Daniel opens and closes his mouth like a fish, wanting to reply but not knowing what to say. "I- Nothin'."

"What's the matter, Danny?" You feel a pang of sympathy for him, remembering how bad your shoulders ached after sanding floors all day long. "You okay?"

"Yeah.. yeah, I'm good. Forget it." He points up to his apartment. "I gotta go. I'll see you... Well, whenever I do."

He starts walking up the steps as you move to stand. "Goodnight, Daniel."

He turns and smiles. "I think I like you calling me 'Danny', actually."

"Alright, then. Night, Danny." You bow to him, and he does the same back, but you stop him before he turns around. "Hey!"

"What?" He looks alarmed.

"When you bow, you must always keep eye contact." He nods, and then you bow to each other properly before you both head home.

-

Early the next day, you catch Daniel on his way out. "Danny!"

"Y/N." He runs down the steps to where you're sitting with Mrs Milo's dog. You'd said you would sit with him while she stepped out for a few hours. "Hey, pup." Daniel reaches down to pet the dog, scratching his neck and ears.

"Off to Mr Miyagi's?"

"Yeah." He spots your watch as he glances up from the dog. "And I'm late already. See you!" He runs off, waving back at you as he goes.

"Bye!" You yell back, your eyes popping open when you remember it's just past six in the morning: your neighbours are probably sleeping still. You glance down at the dog, rubbing his head. "Oops."

-

That same evening, you see Daniel again when you are just about to go into your apartment. You just get your key in the door when you hear his little grunts of pain. "Someone's home late. Where you been, Danny boy? Hm?"

"At Mr Miyagi's place." He glances up and looks somewhat annoyed at your question. "You know that!"

"Oh, sorry." You hold your hands up in mock surrender, smiling.

"Sorry. Just-"

"Something wrong?"

"I-" Daniel stands at the bottom of the stairs, while you stand at the top, looking down on him while he squeezes his shoulder with one hand, occasionally wincing. "My shoulders just hurt pretty bad."

"Oh, well, just put some ice or heat on them and get some rest; I'm sure you'll be just fine. And right as rain for your next lesson, huh?" You nod at him and then spin around, knowing full well that he's going to call you back.

"Wait, Y/N." You smirk; your prediction was correct. You turn back around. "Can I ask you something about your training?"

"Of course. Anything."

"Did Mr Miyagi ever- I mean did he ask you to- I mean did you end up doing-"

You raise your brows, tapping your fingers in a patterned sequence against the railing. "Come on, Danny. Get it out."

He huffs. "Look at this!"

He points to his clothing, particular spots that have splashes of paint on them. Some of it is dried, but other bits are still shiny in the moonlight, showing you that it's still fresh; and that he hasn't long finished chore number three. He also turns his head to show the paint smudge that decorates his left ear and the spots that made it into his hair. "I've been painting the goddamn fences all night! My shoulders are killing, my legs ache... and I haven't learned a thing that's gonna help me in the tournament!"

"What about your other lessons? Maybe this was just something Mr Miyagi needed help with." You keep up your play-dumb act. "I mean, I did have to go grocery shopping for him a few times."

"Washing and waxing the cars, sanding the floors..." Daniel sighs, letting the grip on his shoulder go and rotating it in circles, stretching. "I guess he had his first student, and now I'm just the chore boy, the personal assistant, the-"

"Danny," You climb swiftly down the stairs, putting your finger to his mouth. "Shush. Chill out! Mr Miyagi is a great man. Maybe... maybe he just needed some help with a few things. Stick it out, and help the man who - by the way - saved your life... yes, I know about Halloween, and then just trust me when I say that you won't regret it. He's the best teacher I could've asked for. Not that I've ever known another teacher, but... you get my point."

"Um," Daniel follows your finger as you pull it away from his pouty lips. He looks dumbstruck for a while before he collects himself and responds. 

"Right. Yeah, yeah. If you say so."

"I do say so." Your gaze flicker between Daniel's eyes and his shoulder. "Can I, um-"

He blinks, his head jerking back a tiny bit, confused. "Can you what?"

"Let me," You push his so that he turns a little, giving you better access to his pained shoulder. "Here." You put both hands on the area, watching his face for any non-consensual hesitation. When he doesn't show any, you start rubbing his skin, kneading like you would with dough. Every couple of seconds, you squeeze his shoulder, trying to ease out any amount of tension and - or - pain. Only a few minutes pass before you start to feel a little bit awkward, but also somewhat comfortable; like taking care of Daniel is something you could possibly enjoy and do each day, every day.

Your eyes widen a little, and you clear your throat. "Uh, any better?"

"Wow." His moonlight lit cocoa brown eyes have a sparkle to them as your gazes meet this time. "Yeah. Yeah, thank you."

"It's fine. So, what are you going to do about Mr Miyagi?"

"I'm gonna meet him tomorrow, of course, I am."

"Okay," You feel a little sad for Daniel again. You'd kind of been enjoying the turnaround thus far: watching someone else have to do all of Mr Miyagi's chores and not knowing why. But Daniel was losing it quicker than you did back when, and you were starting to feel sad for him. You hope more than anything that he keeps showing up so that he can finally see that he's been learning all along. "Danny, come 'ere."

"Wh- oh!" Before he can ask what you mean, you throw your arms up and around his neck, pulling him down slightly for a hug. It takes a short moment for him to return the gesture, his own arms coming to circle your waist. "What's this for?"

You feel the puffs of air as he speaks on your neck, and it sends little tingles running along your scalp, arms and legs. "Just 'cause. Just wishing my friend goodnight, you know?"

"Yeah, okay." He frowns as you pull away, not meeting his eye now. 

"Goodnight, Y/N."

"Night, Danny." You run back up the stairs and head back to your apartment. "Don't go running off yet, okay?"

He nods, and then you are back inside in ten seconds flat, closing the door behind you and wondering why you had suddenly gotten so shy out there. You cover your face with your hands, "damn it."

"What, honey?" Your Mum makes you jump with her sudden question.

"Nothin'!" You reply.

She looks at you with an amused expression. "Okay, well, get some sleep; you have school tomorrow."

You nod and then plop yourself down on the sofa. 'Damn it,' You think. 'I'm crushing on the new kid, aren't I?'

-

"... maybe next time you'll get some better bites, huh?" You hop down from Mr Miyagi's truck, closing the door and waiting for a reply.

He gets down from the passenger's side and goes to collect his fishing gear from the back. "Miyagi hope so, Y/N-san."

"Danny!" When you look up, you see Daniel stood on the highest part of the ladder, paintbrush in hand and looking rather tired. "How's it going up there?"

"Y/N!?"

"Ah, missed spot." You shake your head at Mr Miyagi, trying not to laugh.

"What spot!?" He climbs down from the ladder and follows you and Mr Miyagi into the garden. "Hey, how come you didn't tell me you were going fishing?"

"You not here when we go."

"'We?' Y/N, you too?" Daniel glares at you, causing you to look surprised. "Maybe I wanted to go, too, didn't you think of that?"

"You karate training."

"Danny, you're supposed to be training." You and Mr Miyagi both talk at once, chuckling to yourselves afterwards.

Daniel looks between you both like you are crazy. "I'm what!? I'm being your goddamn slave; that's what's happening! We made a deal here."

"So?"

"'So?' You're supposed to teach, and I'm supposed to learn."

You stop when you reach the doors to the house, you catch his hand, trying to get him to stop and calm down with your softened voice. "Danny..."

"No." He huffs and pulls his hand from your hold. "For four days, I've been busting my ass, and I haven't learned a thing!"

You steal Mr Miyagi's line, the same one he'd said to you at this point a year ago. "You've learned plenty."

"I've learned plenty?" Daniel turns back to Mr Miyagi. "I've learned to sand your decks, maybe. I've waxed your car, I paint your house, paint your fence. I've learned plenty, right."

"Not everything is as seems."

Daniel glances at you once again, with his mouth hanging open. He gestures to Mr Miyagi, eyes burning into yours like he is waiting for an explanation from you. You just smirk and nod, and he shakes his head in disbelief. "I don't believe this- this is bullshit!" He turns around, "I'm going home, man!"

"Daniel-san. Daniel-san!" The boom in Mr Miyagai's voice causes you to jump a little.

Daniel spins around, gripping his shoulder and looking wholly done with everything. "What?"

"Come here."

You pat Daniel's back. "And that's my cue to duck out. See you later!" You disappear into the front yard quickly, hopping onto your bike and heading home, leaving Daniel to his big moment of realisation.

-

The following day, Mr Miyagi called and invited you to join him and Daniel at the beach; it was time for his lesson in balance. You'd rarely uttered the word 'no' to your teacher in the past, but today was a different story.

"No... I don't think I can make it, Mr Miyagi."

"Ah, you have other plans?"

"Uh- no. I just... don't feel well."

"Miyagi know when Y/N-san no telling the truth, even through telephone."

"What? I-"

"Y/N-san, come. We go to the beach: one of your favourite places, ah?"

You hold the phone away from yourself for a second, huffing and then replying. "Okay, fine. I'll bike there, though, don't worry about coming to pick me up."

"Ah!" You can practically hear Mr Miyagi's glee through the phone. "Very good. See you soon."

"Okay, bye-bye."

You put down the phone and get ready to leave as slowly as possible. You had come home last night happy; you were pretty amused at yourself because you got out of there so quickly once Mr Miyagi had called Daniel back. You had been finding all of it somewhat funny. Watching the new student go through all of the chores, slowly getting more and more frustrated before they finally had enough and... well, you were regretting it a little bit now.

Daniel had rejected you when you tried to hold his hand and calm him last night. He'd looked at you like a hurt puppy, and that one evening when he'd complained to you about his aching shoulder: everything was twisting in your mind from a joke to a matter of feeling like a terrible friend. You thought that maybe Daniel would be mad at you for not telling him what was going on, primarily since it had caused him physical pain. But then, you'd also been through the same thing, feeling confused and taken advantage of by an older man who had made you a promise.

You were just messed up in your head, and it probably had a lot to do with the fact that you were also crushing on Daniel now. You sighed loudly, finally ready to go.

-

When you arrived at the beach, you instantly spotted Mr Miyagi's truck, parked up and empty. You hopped off of your bike and lifted it into the back, knowing that Mr Miyagi wouldn't mind you doing so and then headed down to the sand.

You felt like running away the second you saw your teacher and fellow student waiting for you. You tried not to meet Daniel's eye and looked straight to Mr Miyagi instead. He bowed upon you reaching them and then gave out his instructions. "Daniel-san, you go water. Practise kick, learn balance."

Daniel nodded, taking his headband from his pocket and tying it around his head. Meanwhile, Mr Miyagi turned his attention to you. "You go, too. Practise balance."

Your eyes popped open. "Wait, what? I didn't come prepared to get in the water!" You gestured down at your clothes: jeans, a graphic tee and an oversized button-up shirt that was tied around your waist. However, when you looked up again, Mr Miyagi was halfway up the beach, walkings towards the stumps. "Uh, okay. I guess I'm doing it anyway, then."

You listen, despite your slight annoyance. At the end of the day, you knew that balance was the skill you needed to work on the most. So you walked up to the water, with Daniel following close behind.

With the water barely touching your toes, you rolled up your jeans as far as they would go. Daniel walked into the water first, taking a few steps before stopping and putting his hands on his hips. He looked back at you, yelling, "It's freezing!"

You simply nodded, walking a few feet away from Daniel and into the water yourself. You shivered at the temperature as you went as far out as you could before the water came up to your knees. It took merely two kicks before you were wiped out by a huge wave. You looked over at Daniel, who was actually doing okay. His kicks weren't perfect, but he hadn't fallen yet.

When he noticed you shuffling back onto the squishy sand, he walked closer. "Are you good?"

"Fine." He offered his hand, but you waved it off, pushing yourself up and simply standing far enough in the water so that you could watch it wash over your feet and disappear again. "Go. I'm fine. Just not really dressed for this right now."

Daniel frowned but went back to his training anyway.

-

"How did you do that!?"

"How did you do that!?" You and Daniel both freaked out at the same time after watching Mr Miyagi break four beer bottles at once.

The drunk men were the opposite in their reactions, looking rather shocked and possibly scared. They quickly moved the bottles and brushed away the broken glass into a bag along with the rest of their trash.

You follow Mr Miyagi as he gets up into the truck, "Hey, how did you do that?"

"Don't know. First time." He looks pleased with himself as you chuckle in disbelief. "Y/N-san, you want ride back?"

"Uh, no. I can just take my bike; it's okay, I promise."

"Okay." He nods. "You come for dinner later?"

"Sure, yeah."

You bow to each other and then walk to the back of the truck to get your bike. As you do, a gust of wind sweeps over you, causing shivers and goosebumps over your skin.

"Why don't you have a towel?" Daniel asks then, coming up beside you.

"It's like I said, I didn't really come prepared to go in the sea."

"Here," he tries to wrap his towel around you, but you shove him away. "Wh-? I'm just trying to help."

"Yeah... and then you'll be the one freezing instead, idiot."

"Oh, so last night I was 'Danny', and now I'm 'idiot', huh?" He wraps the towel around you successfully the second time, not letting you push him away. "Here. We'll share."

You roll your eyes, sighing, but grabbing on to the end of the towel anyway, pulling it around you a little more. "Thanks."

"What's up with you, anyway? Something wrong?"

Your head whips around to look up at him. "What? Why?"

"You were all helpful the other night and today; it's like you hate me all of a sudden."

You huffed and looked away again.

"Mr Miyagi, Y/N and me want to stay here a little while... if that's okay." Your eyes widen as Daniel leans onto the window of the truck, letting go of the towel so that it hangs on you only.

"Wait-" Daniel shush you by simply raising his hand. Mr Miyagi lets him know that it's just fine before he shuffles into the driver's seat and is gone before you know it. "I- my bike..."

"Come on, Y/N, we'll just walk back. It's not that far."

"But-"

"Come on, let's just go and sit down for a little bit." You follow him to the stone wall, where you both sit, dangling your legs over the edge. "So what's up?"

"You." You blurt out.

Daniel laughs. "Wait, why me? What did I do?"

"It's what I did."

"You're really confusing me, Y/N."

You turn around then, finally meeting his eye and trying to act tough. "Why aren't you annoyed at me? I didn't tell you about the lessons! I kept it secret and watched you suffer through all those damn chores when I knew all along, and just- ugh- you should so mad that I didn't tell you-"

"That's it!?" Daniel shuts you up by raising his own voice to get your attention back; it works. "That's why you're acting so strange? Man, you are weird."

"Excuse me?"

"You heard me. Weirdo."

"Wow." You scoff. "I really shouldn't have felt so bad about it."

"No, you shouldn't. It's not a huge deal, Y/N. At least I know now."

"But I still feel bad. You looked more annoyed than I did at that point last night."

"Hey, wait." Daniel frowns, knocking his knee into yours. "Did you curse at Mr Miyagi too?"

"Uh- yes! Of course. I also accused him of making me his little worker bee." You laugh. "Although, it took me a little longer. I had one more lesson before I went nuts."

"Which was?" Daniel prods.

"I'm not telling! You'll find out soon enough."

"But you just made a big deal out of feeling bad for not telling me about the chores!"

"And you just said it wasn't a big deal!"

"Ugh." Daniel huffs.

"Ugh." You copy him.

You look out at the sea for a moment, watching it glitter in the sunlight. Then you close your eyes and flashback to training with Mr Miyagi on the cliffs. "He'll teach you kata soon. I really love that; it's... relaxing."

"Really?" You nod, and then you start to feel awkward again as Daniel continues to look at you without saying anything further.

"What?"

Daniel shrugs. "Nothin'." He looks away again but keeps looking back every couple of seconds. You're about to say something when he suddenly stands up. "Oh! I have something for you."

"For me?"

"Yeah..." He reaches into his back pocket and pulls out a headband. It's black with a white line pattern that forms star shapes throughout.

"Mr Miyagi, let me have this one," he adjusts his own as he mentions it, "but I noticed that you haven't worn one yet. So... I'm hoping you don't have one already. Otherwise, this is a terrible gift. Do you have one already? 'Cause I'll just go and bury myself in the sand if this is the worst gift ever."

"Danny, the ramble king, is back, I see. Shut up and give me the damn thing!"

"Uh, if you're gonna be rude, then no." He moves it away, but you snatch it from his hands and tie it around your head straight away. "Does it look good?"

"Looks great."

You fiddle with it until it feels right, then smile up at your friend. "Thanks, Danny."

"Does the nickname mean we're good? You're not mad at me for being mad at you, even though I wasn't mad at you, to begin with?"

"I can't believe I understood that. But we're better than good."

"Okay." Daniel sits back down, and it doesn't go unnoticed by you that he sits closer this time, your arms and legs pressed against each other.

"Good. 'Cause, there's something I wanna ask you."

"What's that?"

"There isn't some teacher or co-worker style of a rule that says two karate students can't go out... right?" Your eyes widen, and your full attention is on Daniel, watching his talk as he looks out to sea and slowly sneaks his hand over to cover yours. "Right?"

"Uh, I don't think there is, actually."

"So?"

You try to sustain the grin that threatens to show itself on your face. "Gold 'N' Stuff?"

"What?"

"For our date? On... Saturday?"

"Uh- yes! Saturday's my birthday. Talk about the best birthday ever!" Daniel's fist pumps the air, and you can't hold back your laughter at his dork nature.

"Pick me up at 7?"

"You got it."

You smile again, reaching up to take his chin between your fingers and turning him to face you once more. You glance at his lips and then up to his eyes, asking for permission. He looks surprised, but he nods before putting his free hand on your neck and pulling you in for a soft, sweet and utterly too short of a kiss. You pull your bottom lip between your teeth as you pull away, eyes closed.

Daniel sighs before saying, "the chores and achy arms were worth it to get to meet you, you know, Y/N."

If Sue had to be frank, she had never really cared for Daniel LaRusso. Her disdain stemmed from a particular incident that occurred midway through her college Econ final in 05’ when the nasally “banzai!” from his insufferable tv commercials took her brain hostage until

nothing

else

was

left.

Miraculously, she somehow passed her exam, got herself a ritzy job with an over-inflated title, and decided to charitably give back to her community by joining the board of the All Valley Under-18 tournament.

And then there he was. Mr. fucking Banzai in the flesh. The guys— Oh, they loved him.

Just ate his whole shtick up. It’s not like they had anything better to do.

But in 2017, vindication arrived. His true colors finally seeped through at the annual committee meeting. Finally everyone would recognize he was a certifiable nutcase.

And so was every single person that had tailed him back into karate, too. She had had enough.

Two years later and Sue was finally closing that chapter of her life, and the door on this postbox.

She only wished she could see his face when he realized his dojo was being banned from all future All Valleys.

Banzai, motherfucker.

Mr Miyagi and Samantha & Anthony headcanons

Since Cobra Kai tells us Miyagi died in 2011 (a rough seven years before the beginning of season 1), it leaves us with many opportunity to explore his relationship with Daniel’s kids, especially Sam, being the oldest. As stated by her Wiki Karate Kid page, she was born in 2002, making her 9 when Mr Miyagi passed away; plenty of times for them to know one another and interact. As for Anthony, I’m pretty sure he’s met him but being born in 2008 (if I trust the KK Wiki) that would leave him being 3 years old when Miyagi died so he probably would not remember him specifically aside from Daniel’s, Amanda’s or Sam’s tales.

(Which honestly, when I think about it, makes me kinda sad because that kid, although having such a rude attitude, seems left out and the fact that everybody have something to say about Miyagi and Anthony doesn’t... Well. You get me)

Anyway, here’s of a list of little things I headcanon between Miyagi and Daniel’s kids:

Knowing Daniel it wouldn’t surprise me if he told Miyagi he was going to be a father first before Lucille. Would not surprise me at all. And of course Miyagi would be ecstatic, the kind of ecstatic when Daniel takes the car and he screams ‘BANZAI” at him. But I feel he would be really emotional as well. After losing his father in The Karate Kid Part II, and said his farewell to Yukie, he truly has no one else in the world except Daniel. Daniel is like the son he should have had but didn’t because of the internment camp. So for Daniel to 1) Manage to get his way up to being his own boss with the dealership 2) Meet Amanda, a beautiful and brilliant woman with whom he’s serious and settles down and 3) Starts his own family with her, this would make Miyagi so proud and emotional because he’s a part of it, Daniel makes sure he’s a part of it.

Maybe Daniel freaks out sometimes during Amanda’s first pregnancy because he wants to be a good father and he doesn’t know for sure if he’ll be one since he didn’t have his father for long, and what if he’s not good enough. So Miyagi gently but firmly reassures him and gives a piece of wisdom. And some alcohol too.

MAYBE MIYAGI TEARS UP WHEN DANIEL PRESENTS SAM TO HIM

And MAYBE he’s at the hospital having driven Lucille from the airport, and MAYBE he waits patiently as Daniel paces and then goes to be in the room with Amanda and just waits with Lucille and MAYBE he stands up abruptly with Lucille when Daniel comes out and he’s grinning like a madman and he just says “I’m a father” like he can’t believe it and Lucille and Miyagi hugs him real tight.

Since Daniel has no siblings, that, until Louie Jr came to LA for a job at the dealership, his family lives on the opposite coast... Daniel asking Mr Miyagi to be Sam’s godfather. He’d probably be considered a grandfather but up until them there would have been no official link/ties between Miyagi and the LaRussos (not that they need any but you get my point) (though Daniel would probably ask Miyagi to be his wedding witness because you know he would lmao) and that’s another way for Daniel to show him just how much he loves him and considers him like a true member of his family.

For real tho, Miyagi would legit be so gentle, tearing up at seeing a little bundle in Daniel’s arms and he’s so happy to introduce his daughter to his father figure and it’s all very solemn and emotional before Miyagi cracks up a joke about Sam being as stubborn as his dad when she does whatever.

If you don’t think Miyagi would swear to protect little Samantha LaRusso until his dying breath, think again. He’d cherish and treasure her and yet still spreading his bits of wisdom when Daniel is too hot-headed to do so.

One time, when Daniel and Amanda have no solution, they drop Sam off to Miyagi’s and she spends the day with him. He shows her his garden, that has seen better days but is still pretty much alive and not as rusty as we see in Cobra Kai before the renovation. He tells her many funny tales about Daniel learning Karate and falling into the river, of being covered in green paint. And Sam’s listen, she has stars in her eyes (Sam may look like Amanda but she’s a LOT like Daniel). Miyagi shows her some basic movements like Wax On/Wax Off without the waxing cars part and Daniel is this close to be jealous of a five year old.

Sam being excited whenever she goes to Mr Miyagi’s or he comes around and she asks him many questions about Daniel, about karate, about Okinawa too, how it was like (since I’m pretty sure Daniel would already talk a lot about his trip to Okinawa, etc).

When Sam pouts Miyagi laughs because it really is Daniel’s spitted portrait. He always have a little hug for her though and sometimes a little sweet to comfort her.

She’s not too fond of fishing however from times to times she’ll go because she just wants to keep Miyagi company

When Daniel tells Miyagi Sam wants to do karate. That she wants to learn with her dad. Man’s legit the happiest crying mess on earth.

Daniel freaking out big time when Amanda’s expecting Anthony (I read it was apparently unplanned but I can’t remember when it was said in the show so I might be mistaken. Another good excuse to rewatch, eh :p).

Miyagi comforting all the freaking LaRussos during that pregnancy. Daniel who’s panicking a bit (lot), Sam who has your typical “what if they don’t love me anymore” and Miyagi taken her up in his arms saying NO ONE could ever stop loving her and that she’ll have a friend in Tony and that she’ll be able to teach him loads of stuff. But also Amanda. I NEED some Mr Miyagi & Amanda interactions.

Like even though Miyagi is a constant presence in Daniel’s life and is obviously very important to him and Sam that would still be Daniel’s world, something Amanda knows on the surface but not well. And I need a moment between Miyagi and Amanda when it’s heartfelt and touching and Miyagi opening on how she helps him find balance and how he’s really happy for the both of them and that it truly makes his old man’s heart soar to see Daniel, to see the closest to a son he has find happiness and stability and that’s thanks to Amanda. Also give me a lunch or dinner when Miyagi is invited and Daniel suggests something stupid and Amanda is “na nah” and Miyagi backs her like “Listen to wife, Daniel-san. Amanda very smart” and Daniel crosses his arms like a pouty child.

I’d like to think Anthony was named after Daniel’s father so, once again, Daniel’s a mess and Miyagi’s there with Lucille maybe other LaRussos.

Dealing with two mini LaRussos will be the death of Mr Miyagi he swears (even though he loves them with his life)

Sam coming in one day after she pestered Daniel to teach her some japanese word like (Konnichiwa or Samu desu, arigato, simple words you know), she’d be so proud to show him and he’d be really touched and smiling his tight-lipped smile and warmth in his gaze.

Sam helping Mr Miyagi to cook whenever he cooks a dish from Okinawa or from Japan. Sam being the best sous-chef anybody could hope for and being really focused and intense on the tasks Miyagi gives her and just him making her feel like a real pro and how he couldn’t have done it without her.

Sam and Anthony making tons of drawings for Mr Miyagi and he keeps them all, hangs them all up in his house

Anthony stopping his cries the second he’s put into Miyagi’s arms.

Mr Miyagi singing traditional songs from Okinawa as lullabies for Sam and Tony.

And his last year when he begins to get weak and can’t move as much as before, Sam always hugging for a bit longer every time. She doesn’t really grasp what really is to come but when Daniel makes him soup when he’s sick or when he comes back from an appointment at the hospital, Sam is always there to help and to bring it to him and make sure he drinks every drop with her little hope that he’ll get better.

When Miyagi dies, she’s as distraught as Daniel. She cries a lot, sometimes at random but she also cries because she sees just how sad her dad is.

That’s about when she stops doing karate altogether because it hurts too much and moves on, meeting Aisha and being passionate about physics with her

She has photographs of her and Miyagi, some with Anthony and Daniel and the whole family. She has them hidden into an old children’s book in her bedroom and there are times when she feels a bit down and she looks at the pictures and although she’s sad and misses Miyagi a lot, she remembers his kind words, his advices and his gentleness and she feels suddenly better and warm, as if Miyagi had just wrapped a blanket around a shoulder and given her some hot chocolate or tea.

Anthony knows about the pictures, found them by accident once when he wanted to read the book (before being introduced to video games) and sometimes, when Sam is not there and he goes in her room and looks at them trying to remember scenes, words, Mr Miyagi’s voice. He can’t, not really, just some faded images and sounds. It makes him sad in a way that he’s the only one that doesn’t really remember Miyagi but still, he feels a sort of comforting feeling whenever he looks at the pictures.

Anyway, just Mr Miyagi loving the hell out of Sam and Anthony and being there for all the LaRussos and being a comforting presence and thought and a positive influence on them

Karate Kid/Cobra Kay Survey

Thanks for the tag @idontknowkaratebutiknowcrazy <3

It's the year 2021 and you're obsessed with The Karate Kid. How are you feeling?: Look there is nothing wrong with me! *Sherlock gif*. No okay, I feel quite good. I like obsessions, I only work on obsessions and it is definitely better to be obsessed with Karate Kid than with cocaine. I think. Not really sure about it.

Did you grow up with TKK or are you new to the series?: I knew the movies when I was kid, I remember watching some scenes from KK III and the obviously "Wax on, wax off" but except that nothing. When my bf started to watch Cobra Kai (because I suggested, I've read about it and he wanted something to watch without me) I was "Oh look Hilda's boyfriend!(Ugly Betty)" and it was Daniel LaRusso, so definitely not an expert of the franchise.  Then the magic happened and between the s2 and the s3 I watched all the movies.

We gotta do the basics. Favorite character: Danielsan <3 

Favorite ship: Lawrusso. I’m a slut for the enemies to lovers. And Daniel and Kumiko (i’m a slut for a good teen romance too).

Underrated character: I love Bert, he is so small. And Moon. 

Underrated ship (don’t say therapy, lol):  I quite liked Aisha and Tory, I wish they had chosen that path instead of Tory / Miguel.

Wax On, Wax Off or Sweep the Leg?:  Sweep the Leg!

Which of Daniel’s dumb little outfits is your favorite?: Johnny’s red jacket. It’s canon in my mind, sorry. And the prom outfit. 

Character from the films you most want to return, who’s not Terry Silver: Dutch. Or the mac and cheese.

Scene that lives in your head rent-free: The parallel between Daniel who stands still/paralized while Kreese (tries to) suffocates Johnny in Karate Kid and Daniel who saves Johnny in Cobra Kai. And the hug between Johnny and Bobby in s3, the softness of that scene always moves me.

Will Anthony LaRusso ever be relevant?: wait until the next Cobra Kai serie in the 2050. Just wait, this serie is his villain origin story.

You live in The Valley and are forced into the karate gang war. Which dojo do you join?: Miyagi-do, at least the sensei has a nice butt.

What’s your training montage song?:  Kiss off, Violent femmes. 

It’s the crossover event of the century!  Which TV show are you combining with Cobra Kai for an hour-long Saturday night special?: I have two ideas. Ash Vs Evil dead because it would be hilarious. And Oz. Just think about it. After the season 2 of Oz Mc Manus decides to have a karate tournament between the inmates of Emerald City because the boxe tournament went so well and almost no-one died (almost! but for Em city is a success!). But he doesn't know karate (he doesn't know how to do his job too) so he needs some sensei and then you have our guys! And it's perfect because is basically the only way to have Kreese in a prison.

You hear it before you see it: Daniel's voice echoing through the apartment complex as your hand freezes in your bag, where you’d been searching for your keys. He slams his hands against the wall as he yells. "Why can't we just go back home!?"

"Listen to me." Lucille starts to pat his face with a piece of cloth as you walk closer to them. "I cannot help you unless you tell me what's wrong."

"I gotta take karate, that's it."

"You took karate."

"No, not at the Y, a good school!"

"Fighting doesn't solve anything."

"Yeah, well, neither does palm trees, Ma."

You close in on them at that moment, and Lucille turns to you with surprise but also - a little bit of relief. "Ah, Y/N, do you want to try and ask him what happened to his bike? Maybe he'll tell you the truth."

"I told you the truth, Ma!"

You decide to try and ease the situation, suggesting that you go inside and talk. “Hey, is it okay if I come in and watch a movie tonight, Miss. LaRusso."

"Of course, let's go inside- what about the bike?"

Daniel sighs as his mother takes his arms and guides him back to their apartment, with you closely following. "It's safer taking the bus."

-

Once inside, Lucille tries to find some first aid supplies but pauses when Daniel goes straight to his room, mumbling to himself about New Jersey. She sighs, and you share a look before going after him. "I got it," you mouth to her.

She smiles in thanks. "Take this." She whispers, handing you a bag filled with plasters and alcohol wipes. You had been Daniel's best friend since you were both four years old, and she knew that when he was angry or upset, you were the only person he would even consider listening to.

You head over to his door, tapping your special coded knock, before twisting the knob and letting yourself into the room. His back is against the wall, his long legs dangling over the edge of the bed. He looks up at you as you close the door and smile. "Hey."

"What's up?"

"Oh, you know, just coming to check on my sulky, bleeding best friend."

"That all?"

"Yep." You plop down on his bed next to him and cross your legs, ready to get the truth. "So, what happened, Danny? Those kids from the beach, again, huh?"

"Why'd you even ask?" He huffs, touching his head and wincing when his two fingers coat with blood.

"Idiot! Don't touch it." You tut him and then unzip the bag that his mother had given you. "Here." You wipe his head, slapping his hand away whenever he would complain, and then cover it with a cut-out square of gauze. "And you were the one who spilt to me about the fight on the beach, so it wasn't much of a guessing game."

"Whatever. I just wanna go back home."

"It's not so bad here." You put the medical supplies away and throw the bag on his bedside table. "I mean, despite the obvious of you getting hurt, I like it."

"You do?" He asks, looking at you like you're crazy.

"Yeah, come on. I miss Jersey, too, but I didn't have any friends there. Here, I've gained a little group of really nice people; I like my classes.. and have you been to golf 'n' stuff yet because it's so fun."

"Lucky for you. My only friends are still back home."

"Excuse me! What about your best friend? She's sitting right in front of you. And she's trying to help you, but you are making it so incredibly difficult right now, you know?"

"Jeez, I'm sorry! I appreciate it, really, Y/N."

"You'd better. Now, how's your head?"

He goes to touch it again, but when you frown, he stops and rolls his eyes. "Better, I think."

"Alright, well, maybe we just give this place a few more weeks, huh? If you still aren't happy here, by... let's say - New Year, then I will personally help you plan some 'reasons why we should go back home' speech for your Mum." You giggle at yourself, and Daniel finally smiles, finding you amusing, as usual. "Sound good?"

He chuckles, holding his side as he sits up and offers his hand. "Deal." You shake his hand, and then you both fall back against the wall together, staring at the stack of books leaning against the opposing wall. "What now?"

"A game of scrabble? With curse words acceptable this time." You suggest, over a laugh.

"Mm, okay. I'll go get the box."

He stands, groaning at his sore ribs as he does. "Soda?"

"Please."

He leaves the room, then, but not before popping his head back in and whispering, "by the way, thank you."

You jump to your feet and plant a quick kiss on his cheek. "Anytime, Danny."

He smiles, and you return to his bed, smoothing out the blankets and making it as flat as possible for the board to sit on.

Meanwhile, Daniel mindlessly collects the game, drinks, and a few pieces of candy from the kitchen. All the while, wearing a pretty pink blush on his face, as his mind lingers on the kiss you'd just landed on his skin.

His mother looks up from the sofa, looking pleased as she asks, "Is everything okay now, Daniel."

"Uh.. yeah, Ma. Everything's good. Oh, and I'm sorry, Ma, for yelling out there, you know."

She smiles and nods, and then Daniel appears back in the doorway to his room, smiling. "Time to kick your ass at scrabble then, Y/N/N."
