hello there, i am in a very autumn mood today so i was wondering if you could write something where daniel and the reader are friends and he has a lil crush on her & he finds her in the gym helping out + painting pumpkins for the halloween dance & he asks her to go to the dance with him 🥺 and then they share their first kiss at the dance !!!
yes of course, this is so cute and i apologize for the delay!!
It truly was evident that Daniel LaRusso was in love with Y/n L/n, to everyone. Everyone but her. He walked alongside her in the hallways, holding her books and smiling down at her in awe of the way her hair swayed, or the way her lips curved up into a smile.
Now, in October - it was different. Seeing as she was apart of the school board, Daniel didn’t see her much. Though when he did, it was in one of her casual corduroy or denim jackets that kept her warm as the leaves began to fall, and the days began to get colder.
Today, he made his way through the hallways. It was quiet, he wore his same red jacket that he loved and he looked around until his eyes landed on her.
Something about her. His eyes began to sparkle and he couldn’t help but admire her for a quick second from afar, the gym door wide open giving him a perfect view. He fixed his hair as he stood there, still in awe of this girl and it wasn’t until he was bumped from the back by Johnny, who then made his way into the gym, where Daniel finally focused once again. His eyes searched the vicinity before he walked in, still subconsciously fixing his hair and looking around anxiously.
Y/n was around all the girls, including Ali, and this only made him more nervous, he made his way over and glancing up from the balloons, Y/n caught his eye. Her lips curved into an innocent smile at the sight of her good friend, and he stopped in front of her, blocking Ali’s view of her friend and the girls all looked over, sharing glances.
“Daniel.” Y/n beamed, she tied up the balloon in hand before setting it aside and giving him her full attention. At the eye contact Daniel gulped, he wasn’t sure how to go about this but if he was good at anything - it was improvising.
Sure, they were good friends - well, Y/n helped him with the homework and sometimes she gave him smiles at lunch before cutting in line with him, or she’d invite him over for a simple dinner with her family, but now - now he wanted more. He bit his lip in deep thought, studying her eyes and suddenly, he seemed confident.
“Hey..” he mustered up the courage, and as these words left his mouth, Y/n tilted her head and she kept her eyes on his.
“Hi..” She giggled. “You okay, LaRusso?”
And at this, his eyes slightly widened. He perked up and the music that faintly played in the gym filled the short silence before he turned around, scratching the back of his neck. “I had a question for you, actually.”
“Mhm?” Y/n nodded, her hand against the table as she leaned into it. Her eyes stared into his intently and with time, he got it out.
“Will you go to the Halloween dance with me?”
The girls around stopped blowing their balloons, they turned their attention to Daniel and Y/n which really didn’t help his nerves, though Y/n paid no mind to them, her heart raced and while she kept calm, she gave a firm nod with a small smile.
“Of course I will.”
So that very night, Daniek LaRusso went back to Mr. Miyagi and asked him to make that shower costume, his eyes lit up as picked up Y/n and standing at her door as she opened his, he fiddled with his hands. She walked out in a sleek costume, as Joel Goodsen from Risky Business. She had the sunglasses, the boxers, and the white button up. At the sight of her, Daniel smiled and blushed all at once.
“This costume. Wow.” She gestured to him, still giggling and he couldn’t get over the sound of that. It was as if he didn’t need anything else but that sound.
As they arrived at school, he opened the car door for her, and throughout the night - he kept his distance. He wasn’t sure how Y/n felt, and while she accepted his offer to the dance, he knew that could mean nothing.
Though as the slow songs started, and they sat down, Y/n interrupted their conversation about cars just to pull him up, and into the dance floor.
Once they made it, she took a step into his shower, and shut the curtain behind her. Her eyes stared up at him and he stood there, his hands slowly making their way to her waist and she nodded at the feeling, wrapping her arms around his neck.
Here, it was better. His eyes couldn’t tear themselves away from her lips for a good five seconds and Y/n noticed that, but said nothing. Not until his eyes met hers again.
“You look great.” He commented, a small and sly smile on his lips and Y/n - while growing flushed, thanked him. She kept her calm, but as they danced this close, her heart was threatening to explode. Same with Daniel, his cheeks ran a deep color of red as their faces neared, and when she rested her head against his chest, he felt as if he could die happily now.
His hands softly rubbed her back, and he smiled into her grip.
“Thanks for asking me to the dance, Daniel.”
It wasn’t often she used his first name, and at this he pulled back to meet her eyes. She lifted her head off of his chest to do the same and she kept a small grateful smile.
“Me?” He asked, “Didn’t like 20 guys ask you?” He asked, and his eyes searched hers for a minute before she tightened her grip around his neck.
“Yeah, but the only person I wanted to ask me was you.” She revealed, and Daniel’s playful smile was wiped from his lips. He watched as she nervously awatied a response from him and he couldn’t think of anything but kissing her.
So there, he leaned in slowly and checked by searching her eyes. Once she gave the nod, he firmly pressed his lips against hers and his left hand supported the back of her neck, keeping her lips against his. It was a long, tender and gentle kiss and when they pulled away, they held back a frown from the parting but still, were happy.
“Thanks for saying yes.” Daniel spoke in a whisper, the breath of his brushing against Y/n’s lips as she stared up at him, her nose against his. She smiled immediately and giggled - and suddenly Daniel was filled with pride. He found himself leaning in once again.
This shower costume was useful.
