First Time for Everything
Kellie watched as LaRusso kicked Johnny in the face, Johnny's head snapped back, and he hit the mat hard. Her heart raced as a million thoughts ran through her head. All she could think was, 'Oh God please don't let him be hurt!'
Her fears were quickly quieted as Johnny rose to his feet, taking the trophy and giving it to LaRusso. He even congratulated him for his win.
As he exited the ring, the first thing he did was come to her, giving her a short kiss before speaking. "I'm going to change, and I'll meet you out front."
"Ok," Kellie said as she grabbed her jacket and purse before she headed for the exit. She was disappointed that Johnny had lost. She knew how much the tournament had meant to him. It was his last one. He'd won both his Freshman and Junior years.
Kellie was standing on the curb by the front entrance when Johnny came out, followed by Dutch, Bobby, Tommy and Jimmy. Johnny walked up to her, kissed her, and then wrapped an arm around her waist as they walked toward his car.
Before they all left, Sensei Kreese approached.
"You're out," he told Johnny.
"Hey, c'mon, that's not fair! I got second place!" Johnny argued
"Second place? Second place is no place. You're off the team," Kreese shot back.
"That sucks! I did my best."
"What'd you say?"
"I said I did my best!" Johnny said, raising his voice.
"You're nothing. You lost. You're a loser," Kreese ridiculed.
"No, you're the loser man!" Johnny argued. "Oh, I'm the loser huh?" Kreese taunted as he grabbed the trophy from Johnny's hand, breaking it into pieces.
"Yeah."
"Now who's the loser?" Kreese questioned.
"You know, you're really sick, man!"
Kreese grabbed Johnny's jacket sleeve, spinning him around and wrapping his arm tightly around Johnny's neck, making it hard for him to breathe.
Bobby made an attempt to pull Kreese's arm loose, but Kreese knocked him back. Tommy rushed in to help, but Kreese cut him off. "Don't," he warned before turning his attention back to Johnny. "How does second place feel now, huh?"
"Come on, he can't breathe!" Tommy tried to reason.
"Mind your business!" Kreese shot at him angrily.
"You're gonna kill him," Bobby added.
"Sensei. please, you're hurting him." Tommy tried again. "He's sorry, ok? He really is."
At that point. Mr. Miyagi walked up. "Let him go."
"Mr. Miyagi's right," Tommy said. "Let him go."
Kreese back handed Tommy, sending him falling backwards to the ground.
"I say let him go!" Mr. Miyagi demanded.
"Beat it, slope, or you're next!" Kreese sneered.
Mr. Miyagi grabbed Kreese by the shoulder spinning him around. Johnny fell free from Kreese's grasp. Mr. Miyagi squared up in front of Kreese as Kreese took up a fighting stance with his fist raised in a defensive position.
Kreese threw a left-handed punch. Mr. Miyagi easily stepped to the side, avoiding the punch as Kreese's fist crashed through a car window. He turned to face Mr. Miyagi again, this time throwing a right-handed punch, which too missed and landed through another car window.
Mr. Miyagi brought Kreese to his knees as he drew his hand back for a knife hand strike. "Mercy is for the weak. We do not train to be merciful here. A man face you, he is enemy. Enemy deserve no mercy." Mr. Miyagi struck, stopping at the last second and honking Kreese on the nose rather than delivering the deadly blow that was sure to come.
Johnny, along with the rest of the Cobras, watched the events from the curb as Johnny fought to return his breathing to normal. He still felt light-headed. He wasn't sure if it was from Kreese cutting off his air supply, the kick to the face from LaRusso, or a combination of both.
Kellie rushed up to him, horrified by the events she had just witnessed.
Johnny looked up to meet her gaze as she threw herself into his arms.
"Are you alright?" she questioned franticly.
"I'm fine." He tried to reassure her.
Dutch stood at the front of the car with Jimmy, both of them too stunned to move. Neither of them could believe that Kreese would turn on them like he had.
The drive back to Johnny's house was quiet. Kellie didn't know what to say. She was still in shock from the events that had happened right in front of her. How could Kreese treat his students that way? She didn't even want to think about what might have happened to Johnny had Mr. Miyagi not stepped in. She definitely didn't blame the guys for quitting. She knew how hard that had to be for all of them, especially Johnny.
Johnny had always looked up to Kreese. He'd been a father figure for him since Johnny had no real father at home. His stepdad, Sid, was a jerk. He treated Johnny like crap most of the time. Sure, he would throw money at him, buy him whatever he wanted and pay for all the stuff he wanted to do, but that didn't come without mockery and ridicule. Sid always found a way to put him down and make him feel like crap about himself. That's why Johnny had joined Cobra Kai to begin with. It was also why he spent most of his time out with the guys or at their house hanging out with Dutch.
Johnny hadn't spoken the whole way home. He pulled his car into the three-car garage that was connected to their large house before he stepped out of his car. Kellie didn't wait for him to come around and open the door. She let herself out and followed him into the house.
Johnny went straight upstairs to his room, Kellie followed closely behind him. He opened his door, throwing his jacket onto a nearby chair before he collapsed onto his bed.
"Are you sure you're ok?" Kellie asked, concerned.
"I'm fine." Johnny sighed in frustration. It was bad enough that he'd lost the fight to LaRusso, but for Kreese to kick him off the team and then choke him right there in the parking lot. It hadn't mattered much, though. After that, the rest of the guys quit.
Kellie sat down on the bed beside him. She wasn't sure what to say. He didn't seem to be in a talking mood anyway. "Maybe I should go?" she asked hesitantly.
"If you want." he said. "I'd rather you stay though." He finally looked at her. His expression softened as his eyes met with hers.
"Ok."
Johnny leaned in and softly kissed her. He pulled back long enough to gauge her reaction before kissing her again. This time, he took it a little further and slid his tongue into her mouth, softly caressing her tongue with his.
Kellie wrapped her arm around his neck as she played with his hair.
Still locked in the kiss, he pushed her back against the pillows as he laid down beside her. "Let me know if things are moving too fast or you want to stop," he whispered.
She nodded her head before he pressed his lips to hers again.
As he continued to kiss her, he ran his hand along her side and stomach before slipping his hand under her shirt to caress her soft skin.
Johnny lifted her shirt over her head before he moved lower to unbutton the button on her pants. Kellie raised her hips as Johnny tugged down her pants pulling them off before he tossed them to the floor.
Kellie let Johnny take the lead, she wasn't sure what she was supposed to do, or expected to do for that matter.
Johnny sensed her hesitation. "We can stop any time."
"I'm ok," she said nervously.
Johnny leaned down to kiss her again before whispering in her ear, "I'll go slow."
"Ok," she said hesitantly.
Johnny looked up at her in an attempt to make sure she was truly alright and didn't want to stop. He knew this was her first time and he didn't want to ruin it. He took his time kissing and caressing from her lips down to her stomach, before starting the process all over again.
"Where are your parents?" Kellie asked suddenly afraid that they would get caught.
"Gone for the weekend, I don't know where," he said before capturing her mouth in another kiss.
"How do you feel?" Johnny asked as he turned his head to face Kellie.
"Good." She smiled as she laid her head on his shoulder. He wrapped an arm around her shoulders as he pulled her close. It wasn't long before both of them had fallen asleep.
