Daniel LaRusso (The Karate Kid ) x Reader

He Is NOT My Boy

" Uggghhhhhh... "
I groaned from exhaustion, burying my head into my hands.
" How.. Can you... Be... That... Tired?... "
Jack asked me in between breaths as he sat across me.
We both just did 3 rounds in the whole open arena.
Man was that beat.
" You can't tell me you aren't, Jack. "
Rolling my eyes, I drank from a bottle of water.
" Hey look, it's your loverboy. "
He cocked his head up, changing the topic.
I look to where he was looking and I see Daniel running across the freshly cut grass
as he tried passing the ball to one of the guys.
Noticing his outfit...
He wore some darkish blue sweatpants, a blue jacket and underneath,
a scrawny gray sweater.
I hear Jack as me something,
" Hm... "
I hum replying, as I kept my focus on him.

" Hey, hey, hey. Enough daydreaming."
Jack waved his hand across my face.
I turn my head to him, shaking my thoughts away.
" There's this new diner that opened somewhere in town.
You wanna go? "
He repeated his question, and,
" Reseda has a diner now? "
Raising my eyebrows, since knowing a small town like this surprisingly had one.
" Mhm, and well, I haven't been there yet, and I was thinking
of grabbing a bite after P.E. "
" Yeah sure, I still got a some money with me,
I think? "
I pat my pockets feeling a couple bills in there.
" Great! Okay.
You wanna invite your boy? "
He turned his head to me.
" He is not, my boy, Jack. "
I shot up.
" Then why'd he stop by that night I was beating you to battleship?
 Huh? Huh??! "
He teased, nudging my side.
" Shut up. "
" What? You wanna invite him or not? "
" I do, yeah. 
If he's not doing anything... "
 Looking down till my head shot back up.

" Reynolds! Henderson!
You're dismissed! "
Catching out attention, Coach Fraser yelled, blowing her whistle.
" Yes! "
My best friend and I say at the same time.
" Let's gooo! "
Jack jumped and skipped over 2 benches, laughing, and we picked our things up.
Making our way to Daniel to ask him.

" Daniel! "
I yell out for his name, seeing him skip towards us.
" Hey guys. Yes, Y/n? "
He smiled, wiping his forehead.
" You wanna go with Jack and I? We're gonna go eat at this new diner that just
opened up. "
I gesture behind me.
God, I hope he says yes.
" Oh uh- "
" LaRusso! What are you doing! Get back here! "
Mrs. Fraser yell from a far, making him look back.
" I- I can't really leave yet. "
He laughed rubbing the back of his neck.
Mannn...
" Oh, no that's cool- "
" I'd love to but, I'll get my ass beat if I leave uh mid practice. "
He laughs, and he wasn't wrong.
" But Y/n wants- "
Jack was about to say something,
" C'mon LaRusso, quit chit chattin'. "
The coach yelled again, thankfully.
God knows what Jack would've said...
" I'll- I'll see you around.
Maybe if I get to go early, I'll meet you guys there.
Where is it, anyway? "
Daniel asked, pushing his hair back.
" Near the movie theaters. "
Jack answered him.
" You got it.
See ya Jack. Bye, Y/n. "
He smiled running back to where the other students were.
The ball being passed to him, Jack and I made our way to our gym locker.

So there is a slight chance he could eventually come along?

Smiling to myself, and Jack probably noticed.
" I just can't understand how you can't just admit that you like him, Y/n... "
He shook his head smiling.
" Shut up! I don't, Jack.
I-I can't. "
I shrug and I look back and my eyes caught the boy I liked talking to the girl I envied...

It was Daniel and Ali.
He tried stealing the ball from her but
Ali shot the football in the goal, and they got to talkin'.
It looked like they were enjoying themselves too.
Laughing together...
Before seeing her run off between Johnny and a couple of his friends.
Then Daniel walked away too, he shook his head looking down.
