Who would've thought [Lawrusso]

You were Right

Note: Only thing changed is Daniel and Amanda aren't together but still good friends.

Daniel and Johnny agreed to join together to beat kreese and terry. Although, luck was not on their side as they lost. Daniel refused to accept this distasteful defeat and called up an old friend, chozen. Johnny just learned that miguel left on his own to find his father. He didn't know what to do or where to begin if he went after the kid. He went to the bar on a drinking binge thinking about everything he lost. Suddenly, Daniel sat next to him ordering hard liquor.

"What's up, Larusso" He said while Daniel said hi to him, smelling the liquor that surrounded johnny. They talk for a while about the kids until Johnny admitted that Daniel was right.

"What?"

"You were right....Daniel. I should've just let you train the kids and we could've won" He said before taking a huge sip of liquor along with his pride to even admit that. Daniel felt bad that his stubborn, righteous actions led to this. He didn't like seeing Johnny this way either as it was pathetic in a way. Johnny was trying to tip the bartender some money before Daniel told him it's okay as he'll pay for his tab. Johnny didn't have the energy to make a remark and lets him pay while he drinks away.

Two hours later, they make it to Johnny's apartment as Daniel realizes how heavy this man could be when he's drunk out of his mind. He struggled trying to get him on the couch that he landed on top of Johnny. His nose touched the blonde's before he slowly gets up to close the door. Johnny start murmuring about Robby, Miguel, and lastly about Daniel. He slowly removed Johnny's shoes and went to get a blanket and a trashcan. He sees Johnny drifting off to sleep as he told him that he'll talk to him tomorrow when he feels better. Although, he felt Johnny's hand grab his wrist slurring, "Don't...don't go."

Daniel explained that he can't leave his kids alone at home. He called Sam first to see if her and Anthony are okay. She told him they're both okay as Anthony is asleep and she's having Aisha come over for a sleepover as her mom is also coming over to drop off some stuff for their car dealership. He lets her know that he's at Johnny's as he might be there for a while.

"Dad, we'll be okay. You and Johnny should be working things out with everything going on" She replied.

He told her that they will and that he loves her before saying goodbye. He hangs up and sits on the floor thinking of what are they going to do now that they have to step down. He wasn't ready to step down as there were no real legal documents that state that him and Johnny need to comply to these demands. His thoughts were interrupted by Johnny saying something to him.

"Get up here, Larusso" He said trying to make space on the small couch. Daniel chuckled a little.

"Ya know we can't fit on this small couch, Johnny"

Johnny insisted they go to his bed instead as Daniel shouldn't be on the floor. They make it to his bed as Daniel was breathing heavy carrying the man there. Daniel covered Johnny with a blanket and tried to get some sleep. It wasn't long before he felt Johnny putting the blanket on him as well and hold his hand. Daniel didn't expect this kind of action from Johnny. The man who sprouts out lots of toxic masculinity or show what a "real man" is now holding his hand. He knows that Johnny is a big softy deep down inside, but for now he would just enjoy this moment and interlock their fingers before drifting into slumber.
