Unlock Your Inner Dragon: Cobra Kai x Male Reader

Introduction: Welcome Back To The Valley

You are seen looking out of a plane window while sitting next to your dad, who was asleep with a bag of peanuts in his lap, and your mom was looking at a magazine.

Y/N L/N: [voiceover] "Y/N L/N. That's my name. A name that would earn the respect of adults, kids, and my fellow karate learners. A name that would strike fear in the hearts of all bullies, whether online or in real life. It's one of the first things you can read on my driver's permit. I'm only a couple of months away from getting my license, but that's not the point."

You sigh and look at your phone to see how long until you'd reach your destination.

Y/N L/N: [voiceover] "I'm a 16-year-old kid. Sure, that may not seem extraordinary in and of itself, but I have something very few have at my age. A couple of years of Kata and karate training. My parents loved it when I became one of Mr. Miyagi's last karate students. Miyagi was like a grandfather to me. As a kid, Miyagi and Daniel Larusso, his favorite and most decorated student, would train me and Samantha aka "Sam", Daniel's daughter. Alongside Sam, I became an official student of Miyagi-Do Karate. But soon after Miyagi died 7 years ago, Samantha quit learning, Daniel quit teaching, my parents and I moved to the East Coast, and Miyagi-Do seemed to fade away. Sure my dad stayed in touch with Daniel and my mom's Facebook friends with his wife but, I haven't seen them in years... at least I'm nearly 6 feet tall."

Y/N L/N: "But now, I'm back in The Valley. For good." You say to yourself.

So after your family and the movers unpacked everything, you went to the first place you thought to go. LaRusso Auto Group.

As I got out of an Uber and walked in, Daniel LaRusso was out walking on the sales floor and he turns to the door.

Daniel Larusso: "Bonsai, welcome to LaRusso... oh my god. Y/N L/N?!"

Y/N: "Sup, Sensei. It's been a while."

His wife, Amanda, walks up to him and raises her eyebrow.

Amanda Larusso: "Honey? What's going on--"

Y/N: "Hi Mrs. LaRusso." You say with a wave and smile. "Long time no see."

Amanda Larusso: "Y/N?!"

The LaRussos could not believe their eyes.

Daniel's former karate student, Y/N L/N, was standing right in front of him. To Amanda, the son of one of her high school friends and Sam's favorite person to hang out with when they were kids was standing in front of her. He was taller, more well-built, and was becoming quite handsome.

Daniel Larusso: "Y/N, did you move back into the Valley?" He asks excitedly.

You smirk and pretend to think.

Y/N: "Uhhh... yeah!"

You pull him into a handshake and hug him and Mrs. LaRusso before continuing.

Y/N: "It's so awesome to see you guys again!"

Amanda LaRusso: "We've missed you so much, Y/N. *gasp* Where are your parents?"

Y/N: "They're at our new house probably ordering the mover people around and stuff. I helped a lot but, I told them I couldn't wait any longer to reunite with you and so, here I am."

Amanda LaRusso: "Oh my goodness, Samantha is going to freak when she sees you again."

You smile warmly and recall your Miyagi-Do days with Samantha as your childhood friend. He and Sam were practically inseparable. You did karate, played, sang, ate, partied, and hung out together all the time. While you were excited to see Sam, you'd be lying if you said you weren't nervous about how she'd treat you.

???: "OMG! Is that you Y/N?!"

You snap out of your thoughts and turn to see Samantha jogging toward you.

Y/N: 'Wow, I had no idea she's become so beautiful.' You thought with a smirk and smile. "Hey Sammy--Woah!"

Before you knew it, she jumped onto you and gave you the tightest hug she could give.

Samantha LaRusso: "I missed you Y/N. So much."

Y/N L/N: *blushes briefly but shakes it away* "I-I know, I missed you too."

Daniel and Amanda smile at you and Samantha's reunion and think to themselves.

Daniel LaRusso: 'With Y/N back, I'm certain I can convince Sam to join Miyagi-Do Karate now. Soon, I'll have three students instead of one. Mr. Myagi would be proud of me.'

Amanda LaRusso: 'I'm so glad these two are friends again. I wouldn't be surprised if they hung out as soon as this weekend.'
