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.

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.
