Summary
When Daniel answers the door, a week after the All Valley Tournament, he'd been expecting Jehovah's Witnesses, asking him if he found Jesus or maybe Ed McMahon, big check in hand, telling him he'd won a million dollars.
What he's not expecting, however, is to find Johnny Lawrence, decked out in designer jeans and looking like he'd rather be anywhere else in the world, than standing there, at Daniel's front door, on the wrong side of the tracks.
~
Or--Daniel's healing from the knee injury he sustained during the All Valley Tournament, Johnny tries to make amends and then feelings happen that neither one of them really saw coming.

Summary
Johnny has always had a hot temper, Kreese just taught him how to use it. How to focus that anger into his fists, into his kicks, rather than keep it at the forefront of his mind so it clouded his vision and he couldn't think straight. It was a fine line that Kreese was only too happy to teach Johnny how to walk.
Without Kreese at his back to fan the flames, Johnny had thought some of that anger would fade. But the truth was, Johnny is more angry now that he ever remembers being in his life. And without Cobra Kai, he’s got no outlet for it anymore. And that terrifies him more than he wants to admit.
~
Or-- Johnny's figuring out how to find his balance--without Cobra Kai, without karate and without Kreese--with a few stumbles and missteps along the way.

Summary
“This is a lot harder than I thought it was gonna be.” Daniel whispers, swallowing heavily. “Not bein’ able to touch you or kiss you, it’s—“
“I know,” Johnny says, cupping Daniel’s jaw, thumb brushing over the curve of Daniel’s cheek.
Daniel leans into the touch, giving Johnny a brave smile. “We’ll be okay, though, right?”
“Yeah,” Johnny answers, giving him what he hopes is a reassuring smile. “Yeah, LaRusso, I think we’ll be okay.”
Johnny would be lying if he said he wasn’t sure how being with Daniel was going to work when they couldn’t be this, in public, in school, around their peers. If he’s also being honest, he didn’t really think this far a head when they decided to be, well, together.

Or: Johnny and Daniel try navigating the growing pains of a new relationship during the last few months of high school, all the while Johnny's still battling some demons that Kreese left behind and trying to keep Daniel as far away from it as possible. What can he say? He learns the hard way.
