(Crossover) The Outsiders/Karate Kid
A/N: Sorry if this chapter is really bad. I was kinda having writers block, so...
CHAPTER 10 (Revised)
The day was hot, scorching hot. But isn't it always hot in Los Angeles, California? Well that day was hotter than the surface of the sun.
"It's so hot today," Ali complained.
"Ali, tell me something," Daniel said as he got books out of his locker. "Am I prima donna-ish?"
"What makes you say that?"
"I don't know. I just feel like sometimes I put my needs and wants before other peoples." He shut his locker.
"Well...considering you forced me to go to the carnival with you...well, uh... maybe just a tad bit."
Daniel sighed. "I knew it."
"Hey hey, Daniel. Can I ask you something too? What am I to you?" Ali asked.
Daniel smirked as he walked to his class with Ali. "An annoying but somewhat cute sister-ish best friend." He put his arm around her. "That's it."
"Ooh, does that mean you and Johnny are a...thing now?" She asked quietly.
"Well...I guess you COULD say that..." Daniel said. "And that means you and I are officially history with dating." He poked Ali's nose.
Ali chuckled. "Cool. That means you're like my annoying brother now. But enough about us...you and Johnny? Hello? What went down last night? Spill!"
"Well...this is why I was asking if I'm kind of a prima donna. We kinda...well...Johnny's a bit self-conscious and doesn't want to take things too fast. When we made out in our bed—"
"Wait a second. Made out in bed?! Holy shit, that's hot."
"You're such a pervert," Daniel said, shaking his head. "Anyways, I undid the drawstring of his pants and—"
"I think I'm going to have a nosebleed," Ali said, panting. "This is making me so worked up."
"Too much information." Daniel rolled his eyes. "And you never let me finish what I'm say-"
"Hey, you two."
Daniel and Ali turned to see the wavy black haired pale skinned realist.
"Is Johnny here?"
"Yeah," Daniel said, crossing his arms.
"Okay. And may I ask, you two are boyfriend-girlfriend, right?"
"Not anymore...we broke up," Ali said simply even though Daniel's arm was around her.
"Oh. Well...you two sure get over it quickly. I just want to know where Johnny is."
"Probably in history, c'mon, don't be lazy." Daniel shot at her. She rolled her eyes and shoulder passed him.
"What a bum," Daniel scoffed. "C'mon, let's just go to geography." Ali looked at him. "You didn't have to be so rude, you know." Daniel rolled his eyes. "That little chick has attitude, and it's super annoying. Let's just go to class."
Ali nodded.
Johnny was tapping his pencil on his desk while looking out the window, not paying any attention to the lesson.
He was thinking mostly about his relationship with Daniel. Johnny felt that he himself wanted his relationship to be romantic and innocent, while Daniel was very lustful.
Of course, Johnny had sexual fantasies that he couldn't help from coming into his mind.
He couldn't help it. Daniel was just so beautiful...like an angel. It was impossible not to think so.
Johnny wasn't too happy with his physical appearance. He always thought he was so fragile and weak and he thought he was ugly.
After class, Johnny was approached by none other than Rosie Wright. "Hey," she said with a smile.
After he started getting intimate with Daniel, he suddenly had no interest in Rosie anymore. To him, she was just some girl who looked like his ex-girlfriend. "Hi." He said casually, concentrating on the books in his locker.
"Um, I was wondering if you wanted to hang out later, maybe?" She asked sweetly with a smile. Since her skin was so pale, she could blush easily.
"I'll think about it," Johnny said as he shut his locker, not even looking at her as he walked the other way, reading his geology textbook.
Rosie looked down. "Okay, Johnny..." She quietly said for no one to hear.
"It's scorchin' today," Johnny said, sitting in front of the electric fan in a cotton T-shirt and Daniel's soccer shorts. He smiled at him.
Daniel was laying on the couch, reading a comic book. "Maybe because you're in the room," he said with a smirk. Johnny blushed and bit his lip.
Daniel thought Johnny looked really cute in just a plain T-shirt and old shorts.
Soon, Mrs. Larusso walked in the room. "Hello, boys." She set down her keys on the counter. "You two must be so hot."
"We really are," Daniel said.
"Why don't you two go to the beach? Maybe you can invite Ali too."
"Oh yeah, Ali and I broke up, mum." Daniel said, flipping the page in his comic book.
"But...all three of us are still real good friends," Johnny added in.
"Aw, Ali was such a sweet girl. But if you two are still hanging around her, that's really nice." She said with a smile. "You guys should go to the beach, I order you to."
"Fine, mum." Daniel said, tossing his comic book on the coffee table.
"Who knows, Johnny. Maybe you'll find a pretty girl on the beach and bring her home!" Mrs. Larusso teased.
"Johnny already has a girlfriend, mummy."
"That's right," Johnny added in quickly. "Her name is Rosie. I took her out the night before last night."
"Aw, how cute! I'd love to meet her sometime. Are you going to take her to the beach?"
"Oh! She told me she was going to have...uh, people coming over today, so...she's busy," Johnny quickly made up as he cleared his throat.
"What a shame. Anyways, go get changed!"
Daniel drove up to the beach as the three got out.
Ali turned to the two boys. "Kay, now you two can go make out under a tree or something while I go flirt with a hot lifeguard," she said, skipping off in her blue striped bathing suit.
"I can see in the future...maybe years or so...women wearing teeny tiny two pieces," Daniel said, looking off into the distance.
"Perv," Johnny teased, sticking out his tongue. "Anyways, let's swim!"
Daniel and Johnny set down their stuff as Johnny took off his shirt self-consciously. "Daniel...can you put sunscreen on my back? I don't wanna get tanner than I already am."
"Okay." Daniel grabbed the bottle and squirted some of the sunscreen into his hand, rubbing his hands together. He slathered it on Johnny's back, pressing himself against Johnny.
Johnny felt the close contact and instantly became shy. Daniel smirked. He spread sunscreen on Johnny's torso as he pressed himself harder onto him.
"Mmph..." Johnny shyly whimpered.
"There...you're all ready," Daniel said with a wink.
Daniel took off his shirt and walked near the water. Johnny's eyes widened.
Daniel turned and smiled. "Like what you see, Johnny Cade?"
Johnny walked to him. "Sorry...you're just so...fit..." Daniel's swim trunks hung low on his waist.
Daniel held his hand and led him to the water. When they were waist deep, Daniel stroked Johnny's sides and looked into his eyes.
"You're so beautiful," Daniel said. "I'm going to buy a drink, okay? Don't go too far that I won't be able to find you."
Johnny nodded. He watched Daniel's wet olive skin glistening in the sun. He sighed dreamily but soon was attacked by an unexpected wave.
Johnny didn't know how to swim. He opened his eyes underwater and swam back up in a panic. He couldn't touch ground anymore. He was getting farther and farther from shore.
Daniel got his iced tea, popping the cap open. He turned and scanned the beach for Johnny. He saw someone's arms flailing and seeing them trying to get to the surface. They were quite far from shore.
Where's the lifeguard? Daniel looked and saw Ali and the lifeguard flirting with each other. He rolled his eyes and ran to help.
Johnny took his last breath and began going down. Is this the end of me? Johnny thought. Will I ever live to see seventeen? Will I ever see Ponyboy, Dallas, Soda, Darry, Two-Bit, Steve, Rosie, Ali or Daniel ever again?
He closed his eyes. It's okay, he thought. I always thought of dying anyways.
Daniel swam faster than the speed of light to get Johnny. He pulled him out and breathed, pulling him to shore. People started staring, gathering. "Is he okay?" "Is he dead?" "Someone get an ambulance!"
"Johnny? Johnny?" Daniel shook Johnny's fragile little body. He wasn't breathing.
Daniel decided he had to give him resuscitation.
He learned this is in swimming class when he was ten. Alright. He pinched his nose and pressed his mouth on Johnny's, giving him breaths.
Come on, Johnny. Wake up. I love you, Daniel thought as he kept attempting to resuscitate him.
Stupid Daniel, why'd you leave him alone in the water?! He thought as he started to cry, still trying to resuscitate him, his tears getting on Johnny's face.
He gave him one last breath as he rested his head on Johnny's chest, crying.
Johnny then sucked in a deep breath as he opened his eyes.
"He's okay!" Everyone started clapping and cheering. "Kid, you're a hero! Is that your brother?" A man asked. Daniel nodded. "He's my brother and I love him. I can't live without him." He meant it. Everyone let out an 'aww.' Daniel meant 'love' in an entirely different way, though.
Soon Ali and the lifeguard came. The lifeguard did not look happy. "Kid's trying to do my job..."
Daniel kissed Johnny's forehead. "Are you alright?" Johnny nodded.
"That was pretty tuff...I'm glad...to have you..." He smiled.
"I'll take you home, Johnny." He carried him in his arms.
