"what kind of flowers does she like?" Daniel's mother asks him, many different flowers aligned on shelves for the taking.
"I don't know Ma. I never really asked" Daniel muttered, Daniel's mother slapping his arm. "Ah! Ma!"
"the one question girls want to be asked on the first date is what their favourite kind of flowers is! it shows that you care!"
"I think you're reading too much into this" he rolled his eyes, his hand hovering over a bundle of mixed flowers consisting of lilies, roses, and daises, all of which reminded him of you. "these.." he smiles, looking at them adoringly as he would look at you.
his mum smiled and nodded her head, both of them heading to the check out.
a few hours later, Daniel was in his room in front of his mirror, buttoning up his collared white shirt. he looked at himself for a second before unbuttoning the shirt a bit at the top, giving him an "edgier" look. Daniel's mother knocked on his door, reminding him that he would have to leave soon.
Daniel couldn't understand why his mother still helped him get ready for dates. he had been dating you for a year now, and yet every time the both of you were going on a date, Daniel's mother would jump at the opportunity to help him impress you despite the fact that you were already impressed. he also found it somewhat embarrassing as he was 18, making him an adult, making him capable of taking care of himself and his problems.
"i'm leaving!" he yelled to his mother as he approached the front door.
"wait! wait!" she yelled, rushing over to him to adjust his collar. she smiled before patting his shoulders and turning him to the door. he thanked her before making his way out to the car Mr. Miyagi had given him a few years back.
as he drove the yellow convertible down the streets of LA, he couldn't help but shift in his seat every once and a while out of anticipation. even though he had known you for years and had been dating you for one, he was nervous and antsy. it was your one year, a milestone not many couples your age make it to.
as he pulled up to your house, the porch light illuminating your figure, he couldn't help but admire you and your floral dress. his eyes practically turned into hearts as he watched you walk toward his car, your matching heels clicking against the pavement.
he got out and rushed to you, grabbing your waist and pulling you in for a passionate kiss. "you look beautiful, baby" he smiled.
"thank you" you grinned, pecking his cheek. Daniel opened the door on your side of the car, helping you get in by holding your hand delicately, as if you were a china doll about to break.
as you drove to the restaurant, the roads quiet and wind light, Daniel couldn't help but stare at you at every red light and every turn. you would tell him to focus on the road, nervous that his distracted state would earn you a trip to the hospital. but he couldn't help it. he couldn't help but thinking about how lucky he was to have a girl like you.
as you walked into the restaurant, hand in hand, the both of you approached the hostess. "hey, uh we have a table for 2 under the name Larusso" Daniel told her, his arm now around your waist.
the woman looked up and down at the pages of her book, flipping pages with her brows furrowed. "i'm sorry sir, we don't have a name Larusso on here." she told him, her voice apologetic with an underlying layer of an uncaring attitude.
"uh, nah that can't be right. I made this reservation last week!" Daniel protested, his cheeks turning red in both embarrassment and frustration.
"it's okay baby, let's just go get take out." you reassured him, putting a hand on his chest. he huffed, staring at the hostess in anger before turning to the exit. he didn't say anything the entire drive home. the only time he did speak was when he ordered food for the both of you, mumbling a quiet 'thank you' to the server as he was given the bag of food.
"Daniel" you finally spoke, breaking the silence. he hummed in response, his eyes focused on the road. "it's okay baby" you reassured him, putting your hand on his thigh. his muscles tensed at the gesture as your hand was very close to his crotch, though it was unintentional. he cleared his throat, shifting in his seat, his grip on the steering wheel growing tighter.
"I know I just-" he paused, "i'm sorry it's been such a shitty night" he apologised, finally looking at you. you smiled, shaking your head.
"it's okay baby. i'd rather do this with you anyway." you reassured him, continuing to admire him as he drove toward your house. as he pulled the car into your driveway, your parents car gone due to a work trip, he turned the engine off and opened the door. he quickly made his way over to your side, opening the door for you and helping you out of the car.
even though you two had been together for so long, he was always a gentlemen. many other boys would've given up on that idea by now, but not Daniel. and you loved him even more for it.
you walked into your house, the quiet atmosphere setting you at ease. you pulled Daniel into a hug after he shut the door, his tense muscles now loosening. he tucked his face into your neck, breathing in your perfume that made him brain go fuzzy.
his arms wrapped around you tightly, pulling your body into him even more. he rubbed his hands all over, unintentionally feeling you up, making you feel hot.
suddenly, Daniel's hands made their way down to your ass, gripping it tightly and making you let out a small whimper. he smirked into your skin, kneading your ass and thighs. "Daniel" you whimpered, putting your fingers through his hair
"yes baby?" he said teasingly, continuing to feel you up in places where he had yet to touch you.
despite you both having been together for so long, the extent of your sex life was.. short. the most you had done was make out with his hands on your waist, his lips occasionally going down to your neck before retreating up to your face. you had told him you wanted to wait a while until you had sex. and now, as Daniel's hands explored your body and his hot breath fanned over your neck, you felt ready.
"I want you now" you whispered, making Daniel smile.
"yeah?" he said in a cocky tone, pulling away and looking into your eyes. you nodded with a pout, wrapping your arms around his neck. he lifted you up, his hands under your thighs as he carried you to your bedroom, his lips nipping at your neck. "your so beautiful" he whispered as he laid you down on the mattress.
he slowly caressed your body, kissing all over your chest as he slowly pushed the straps of your dress down your arms.
your brushed your hand over his hair, playing with his soft strands. "can I make you feel good baby?" Daniel whispered, rubbing his hands up and down your waist. you nodded with a smile, helping him take your panties off before tossing them to the side.
you were now exposed, your core dripping onto the sheets below. Daniel licked his lips, looking up at you with a grin before beginning to lick all over your pussy, maintaining eye contact. you let out a loud and pornographic moan before putting your hand over your mouth as to not let the neighbours hear. Daniel quickly pulled your hand down, gripping them harshly and holding them down.
your legs squirmed as he ate you out, his tongue licking every spot and crevice it could find. his lips occasionally found your clit, sucking internally before pulling away and giving it a few kitten licks.
as Daniel continued his routine, your legs continuing to squirm despite Daniel's best efforts to hold them down, he licked a spot that had you writhing beneath him, your moans loud. "that's it" he mumbled against your pussy before continuously assaulting your sweet spot.
"i'm gonna-" you announced, gripping Daniel's hair and giving it a few rough tugs. Daniel hummed, sending vibrations throughout your body. it was all you needed to reach your peak, cumming all over Daniel's face and tongue.
Daniel licked your pussy a few more times, allowing you to ride out the high of your orgasm. he came up, his lips glistening and a wider smirk on his face. "did so good f'me" he whispered, kissing your neck.
he laid you down, slowly pulling off your dress. he fondled your breasts over your bra before reaching behind you to unclip it. you arched your back, giving him better access. he tossed your clothes to the floor before removing his, his toned chest making your mouth water and pussy clench around nothing.
after Daniel's boxers were removed, the both of you were fully exposed. and despite never having done this before, you weren't shy. and nor was he. the moment was intimate and tender as Daniel dipped down to passionately kiss you, reaching for the condom in the pocket of his pants.
he ripped open the packet, rolling the condom on slowly over his hard dick. he put one hand to the side of your head, the other holding his dick in his hand as he aligned himself with your entrance. "you sure?" he asked softly, looking up at you. you nodded, but Daniel wasn't satisfied. "I need to hear you say it" he told you.
"I want to" you whispered, cupping his jaw with your hand. he then slowly entered you, inch by inch, making your eyes shut tightly at the stinging sensation in your lower body.
"shh, I know" he whispered, kissing your cheeks tenderly and rubbing circles on your hips. "you wanna stop?" he asked, but you shook your head no. "it'll be okay. just give it a second yeah?"
after a few moments, you felt your walls adjust and the stinging sensation subsided. "okay" you told him, holding onto his shoulders tightly.
Daniel slowly began to move, thrusting in and out of you softly. you let out soft whimpers as you began to feel pleasure, the feeling of Daniel's dick stretching you no longer one of pain, but of euphoria.
he moaned and groaned in your ear as he picked up the pace, his grip on your hips growing tighter. "fuck.." he groaned, "you feel so fucking good"
the room was filled with moans and groans and the occasional whimper, Daniel speeding up after a few moments. you began to feel yourself getting closer, a coil in your stomach tightening. "I'm gonna cum" you announced, your nails digging into his back.
"me too baby, cum with me yeah?" he whispered in your ear, his dick now pounding into you as you came all over his length. he groaned, shooting thick ropes into the condom.
he rolled off of you, yet still staying close. he held your sweaty body in his, the both of you panting heavily. "I love you" he whispered breathlessly.
"I love you too" you smiled, kissing him passionately. "let's get cleaned up"

Lab Partner - Johnny Lawrence
As Y/n walked out of the indoor hallways, she glanced to Daniel Larusso as he held the door open for her - shooting a friendly smile. “What do you say about tomorrow, study hall?” He asked, his voice soft - and a bit scratchy. He awaited an answer from the girl who walked beside him as they exited school.
“That sounds good.” She responded, nodding and sending a small wave to him as he handed her the paper work from today’s class.
“Bye, Y/n.” His voice was soft and she returned a small bye, under her breath before her view shifted from Daniel - to Johnny, a small glare across his face as he watched Daniel Larusso make his way off campus.
He was leaning against his own car, and seeing as it was extremely cold as Christmas neared, his car roof was on.
Johnny Lawrence kept his view on Daniel Larusso as his girlfriend walked over, making her way to him and his car.
She met him, her hand tapping his chest to gain his attention and he glanced down at her after she placed a casual kiss against his jawline as a way of greeting him. “Hey - ” He gestured to the tan boy. “What the hell was that?” He watched as Y/n sighed, getting into his car and he did the same now, his gaze set on her.
“What?” She asked, her voice soft as the many cars of students leaving the school passed by, slowly but surely emptying out the parking lot.
Getting into the car, Johnny Lawrence sighed as he started it up - watching his girlfriend set her backpack in the back as he began driving out as well. He was clearly annoyed, and she could tell - the way he drove, the way he didn’t shut up about the subject. “I told you, he’s my lab partner.” Y/n justified, watching Johnny scoff.
“I’ve got a lab partner too, you don’t see me talking to her like that.” He sassed, parking his car in front of the small diner he sometimes took her too after school that was just around the corner.
“Well, he’s a good lab partner, Johnny. Knows how to do a lot.” Of course she was playfully egging him on, but with his temper - Johnny rolled his eyes - turning the ignition of his car off, holding his keys in his hand as he glanced over to Y/n - a small smile across her face.
“You’ve got to be joking.” He spoke, his voice low and Y/n shrugged, watching as he squinted his eyes - “Y/n.” He started, “I’ll take you home right now.” He threatened, and he carefully watched her before her soft smile widened.
She attempted to place an innocent, gentle kiss upon his lips to assure him she was kidding, though at the feeling of her lips meeting his , Johnny immediately closed the space between them.
He undid her seatbelt for her, his lips against hers slowly turning the kiss from slow and careful to rough and needy kisses.
His right hand was gripping her neck, and his left on her cheek as he held her firmly, placing continuous kisses against her lips - clearly in need of this.
His kisses were usually passionate, but when they were this aggressive it told all. Johnny was angry, but at the same time - he loved reminding her.
“What’d I tell you about Larusso?” He spoke against her lips, and as she attempted to pull away and respond, Johnny shook his head. “Shut up.” He mumbled, immediately placing his lips against hers again. This time, their parted lips met in a desperate, sloppy manner. Johnny gave himself an entrance to her mouth as he slipped his tongue in, perfectly exploring his girlfriend’s mouth.
Slowly, his hand reached into the inside of Y/n’a shirt, caressing her back and earning soft sighs in content as she nodded into the kiss. Now, Johnny was feeling a lot better. He smiled into the kiss, his eyes fluttering open as he spoke up, pulling away just an inch, leaning over her now. “Does he know how to do that?” He asked, his tone confident and almost playful - but Y/n knew he meant that question with everything in him.
This time, he waited for an answer, his eyebrow quirking a bit as he panted a little, hovering her. “Huh?” He searched her eyes, and Y/n’s lips curved into a small smile.
She took her hand to run it through his blonde, soft hair, and without any words - she answered by shaking her head. At this, Johnny Lawrence bit his lip, nodding and quickly removing his Cobra Jacket, throwing it to the back seat. He quickly leaned in once again, now moving forward and leaning her seat back to gain more comfort. His lips clashed against hers as if he was hungry, and he bit her bottom lip in the midst of their kiss, groaning a little in pleasure at the feeling of her hands roaming his chest, and ending up around his neck.
“I’ll do all your lab work.” He murmured against her lips again, his hands traveling up to her cup her face. He grabbed her, and held her in place as he continued to kiss her roughly, earning smiles against the kiss from Y/n. “You’ll never have to talk to him again, I promise you.” Those were the last words before Johnny continued to focus on kissing her, his thumbs rubbing against her jawline.
The sloppy kisses continued, Y/n allowed herself to pull him closer by wrapping her arms around his neck and she nodded against the kiss, her top lip in between both of his as he lightly sucked on it. His lips slowly left her swollen ones to run against her jawline, and his hands moved to rest inside her shirt, around her waist.
He lightly sucked at her skin as he moved down to her neck, and then to her chest. He earned small murmurs of pleasure from Y/n, and at that - he was completely fine. Could Daniel Larusso make her feel like this? Johnny Lawrence bit his lip before he took one hand out of her shirt, nodding and running it through her hair. “Yeah, that’s it.” He whispered, his lips against her ear before he placed soft, wet kisses against it, traveling down and back to her neck, then her lips.
Johnny Lawrence was in his own seventh heaven. Growing more and more pleased with each kiss. Thankfully, these windows were tinted. He took it to himself to remove Y/n’s jacket and he let out a low groan at the feeling of Y/n biting his lip, slowly tugging on it before pulling away and allowing him to remove her long sleeve as well. Johnny’s kisses were now on the skin above her bra - he knew she was allowing him to get this far in public because he had recently tinted his car windows and because of their circumstances today.
To make him feel better, to let him know that she truly was only his.
So of course, at the sight of her like this - he melted. Not just because she was beautiful but because he loved the ways she assured him that she was his. She took his chin, pulling him up to kiss his lips once again.
Johnny wasn’t sure he ever wanted to leave this car, his pants grew tighter and he found himself fiddling with her bra - which was sadly where she stopped him. He leaned up, his hand rubbing her thigh as his eyes searched hers and she softly kissed him once more, her hands in his hair that had grown from combed to messy, and disheveled. “Let’s go home.” She spoke, and immediately Johnny nodded, placing a few more hunger induced kisses against her lips before sitting back in his seat, watching her throw her shirt back on.
If only he was her lab partner.
thinking about…𐙚
sfw ver ♡;
→𝐝𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐞𝐥 𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐬𝐨 and how when he first started crushing on you he’d constantly look at your picture in the yearbook.
→when you first started dating you two were basically connected by the hip, walking you to class, lunch, home and even waiting for you outside the bathroom was his daily routine.
→he loves holding your hand, when he’s stressed over karate or his mom he’ll play with your fingers and draw patterns into your palm
→when the cobras are constantly going after him constantly and his mom being too enthusiastic about her new job for him to complain about wanting to go back to jersey he goes to you, just to hold you, to know there’s one good thing in shitty reseda california.
→he loves taking you out to the beach just to sit and watch the waves and maybe mainly to smell the light comforting smell of your perfume/cologne in the breeze.
→he likes to imagine watch your life together would like, how many kids you two’d have, their names, what house you’d live etc
nsfw ver ♡;
→He loves it when you run your cold hands up his torso when you two make out, you’ve gotten caught by me miyagi so many times he honestly doesn’t pay you two any kind of mind anymore. (much to daniel’s embarrassment🙂↔️)
→daniel definitely has a jaw dropping sleeper build, only weighing at 130 and all the interesting workouts mr miyagi has him do most definitely has his body SNATCHED.👅
→he’s more of a whimperer than a groaner.🗣️
→you two have more rough than vanilla sex..don’t ask me why i just know…
→he’d rather have your thighs around his head than have actual sex, he takes pleasure in giving you pleasure. 🙏🏽
→he’s definitely thought of a three way between him, you and johnny🤷🏽♀️👻
