Anon Requested: Imagine where reader brings each member of the respected dojos lunches with little notes and how they would react
@i-am-lost-and-need-a-map
Robby Keene: As his dad’s girlfriend, when Robby started showing his face around more often, you would be quick to welcome him into your home. Of course, he never showed up, but you would make periodic stops to LaRusso’s house and drop of little lunches of Robby’s favorite foods according to Johnny. Knowing how tough it is on Robby, you would always make sure to have a little note saying that you’re proud of him, that you’re there for him, etc etc, and after a while of receiving the little notes, Robby would sometimes drop by your place for dinner, without his dad being there, just to have your company as someone who understands what he’s going through, and that means the world to him.
Miguel Diaz: You were accustomed to bringing Johnny lunches from time to time, so when Miguel started training at the dojo, you made sure to include him in your tradition. You too, left him little notes saying “don't give up,” or “don’t let Johnny kick you down,” knowing full well that sometimes Johnny can be harsh when he doesn’t mean to. Miguel has a lunchbox full of these notes at home that he continues to add to and looks forward to, no matter how long you’ve known him for.
Hawk/Eli: When Eli first showed up, you had not expected a kid like him to be there. After learning of his many many allergies, you always made sure to pack his lunches separate from everyone else, avoiding cross contamination. Once he realized that you went to great lengths to keep him safe and allergen free, he began to confide in you about his self insecurity. You would always make sure to add little notes like “have a great day,” or “don't let them get to you,” always making sure to add a smiley face at the end.
Demetri: When Demetri first joined Cobra Kai with Eli, you also took note of his allergies. Which were a lot. So, you sat him down in the office one day and took a list of everything that he can and can’t eat, and when he quit karate, you always made sure to give his lunches to Miguel to take to him with little notes saying “we miss you” or “come back soon,” and though you hadn’t seen him for months at the dojo, you never failed to still make his lunch, which then continued as he went to join Miyagi-Do much to his shock.
Tory Nichols: When you first heard of her story about her mom you immediately had a soft spot for her. So, you would always make sure to bring her lunches between shifts and jobs, and then in between school and karate. When she first opened them up, she had no clue what was inside until she pulled out a small origami of animals that would always include a pun that would go along with the animal, never failing to bring a smile to her face. Every time she saw you, her day would immediately get better, knowing that you were there for her and you would make her laugh.
Sam LaRusso: On the occasion that Sam was home alone, especially after the hospital, and her parents were at work, you would make sure to stop by the house and drop of packed lunches. Knowing she liked sushi, you would put the lunch in an insulated bag with notes that would say “hope you feel better” or “you go girl,” and when she learned the meaning behind the packed lunches with notes from her dad, she made a special place in her room just for that.
Aisha Robinson: As she was the second to join the dojo, she too made her way onto your list of people to pack lunches for. When you asked her what kind of food she like, she was pretty vague about what she liked and didn't like, but it was after talking to Sam that you got an idea of what she liked to eat. The more she showed up around the dojo, the more you got to know her and how people treated her, so you would always make sure to include notes saying “you are beautiful just the way you are,” or “you can do anything a man can do... and better,” and when she got your first really meaningful note, she tried to hold back some tears which didn’t go unnoticed by Johnny.
“You got a note too?” He asked with a slight smile as Miguel watched on. “You’re in the club kid.”
“It’s just something she does for everyone,” he shrugged as he pulled out a little note that you had written him earlier that day as did Miguel.
“Wow, she sure is one of a kind,” Aisha said as Johnny nodded his head, placing the note back into his pocket.
Johnny Lawrence (Cobra Kai): One day when you were visiting the dojo that had just recently opened, you brought in take out, knowing that Johnny never liked your lunch bags and when he questioned where the note was as a joke you stared at him for a solid minute before answering.
“Why would I give you a note after you threw all of them away?” To which he would pull out a small box that had all the notes that you had written him. Next time when you came in for lunch, Johnny eagerly took the brown paper bag and pulled out your famous note. Smilingly slightly, he pulled you in for a hug before placing them in the box with his other notes. Now, they’re a thing he looks forward to.
Johnny Lawrence (Karate Kid): Let’s be for real, Johnny was an asshole when he was younger, so he often threw away the lunches (more like snacks), which threw away the notes with it, but when one note fell out of the lunch bag, he picked it up before reading “kick some ass,” with a smiley face on it. After that, he still threw away the lunches out of fear that his friends would mock him, but would secretly keep the notes that you left in there. That was unknown to you, so when you saw him throw the lunches away, assumingely with the notes as well, you stopped completely. Oh how he regretted that.
Daniel LaRusso (Cobra Kai): The tradition of giving him lunches continued as the two of you grew up. Of course, including Amanda into the mix. Although you wouldn’t do the lunch thing often as you didn't want to start anything between Johnny and Daniel, you would write little notes to Amanda and Daniel, telling them to “have a good day” or “kick the competition,” which is where they got that idea for the car commercial. Daniel really appreciates the thought and value that comes with your packed lunches.
Daniel LaRusso (Karate Kid): You were probably one of Daniel’s first friends in Reseda, and when you learned of his financial difficulties you would secretly sneak lunches in his backpack so he would never go hungry. At first, he assumed it was his mom who was writing the little notes of endearments along with some of Daniel’s favorite foods, but when he discovered that what was in the lunch bag didn’t compare to what was at home, he confronted you by giving you a hug, much to Ali’s dismay. On the day’s he went to Miyagi’s place, you would also make sure to pack Mr. Miyagi lunches as well, which he loved.
Author’s Note: I hope you liked this!!! It’s been a while since I wrote preferences and I actually really enjoyed this request. I’ll have your other requests up soon!!!! (P.S. makes me super sad that Aisha won’t be in season 4 🥺)
