THIRTY — family

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* 　　 *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

AFTER SUCCESSFULLY ASKING BELLA TO PROM, johnny took bella to eat before taking her to encino with him. she would be spending the afternoon with him and if they got lucky, she would spend the night as well. while johnny took a shower, bella laid on his bed, reading her book and did some homework.

as bella continued to read, johnny stepped out of his bathroom, freshly showered and with only a towel wrapped around his waist. bella looked over to the side, to find johnny getting some sweatpants and a pair of boxers from his closet. bella looked over at her boyfriend and admired him for a while. she admired his lightly tanned skin, broad shoulders, athletic figure, perfect v-line.

bella continued to read her book as johnny walked back into the bathroom to change into his clothing. once he came back out into the room, bella looked back at him, biting her lip.

"like what you see, princess?" johnny smirked as he turned to bella.

"mhm, not really." bella joked as she turned back to read her book. johnny walked over to the bed where the brunette was laying and sat down next to her. he took the book that she was reading and tossed it to the side before roughly pressing his lips onto hers. "we can't do this right now. your mom's downstairs."

"the walls are thick. she won't hear a thing." johnny said in between kisses. he hovered over bella as he kissed her neck and removed her blouse. "fuck, you're so hot."

"babe –" bella sighed as she ran her hands through johnny's damp hair. his lips ran all through her body before landing on her waistline. "she's gonna hear us."

"then try not to moan so loud, baby." johnny smirked as he pressed his lips on bella's then trailed them down to her neck, slowly. he then slowly began to kiss down to her stomach before removing her jeans.

bella giggled as she ran her hands through his blonde hair as she arched her back, trying to hold her moans back. she softly moaned in his ear, which made turned him on even more, but as he was about to slip bella's jeans off, he heard a knock on his door.

"honey, the boys are – oh! i'm so sorry!" laura said as she opened the door to johnny's bedroom. the couple was startled and johnny climbed off of bella. "i'm so sorry! i didnt know you two were busy."

"nah it's fine, ma." johnny said as he got up from the bed and fixed his hair as bella slipped her blouse back on, fixing her hair as well. "we got carried away."

"laura, i'm so sorry!" bella said as she put her hair up and straightened out her blouse.

"honey, i was your age once and i messed around as well. i totally understand." laura chuckled as he stood at the door. "anyway, the boys are here, downstairs."

"alright, let me go bring them up." johnny said as he was about to walk out of his room, but was stopped by laura.

"not before putting some clothes on." laura said as she stood at the doorway.

"ma, i'm dressed." johnny said as he ran his hands through his hair. "besides, it's the guys."

"john, i mean it." laura said as she continued to stand at the doorway. "please put some clothes on. i don't want you walking all over the house, naked, while your friends are around."

laughter filled the dining room as laura and the boys reminisced about their days in cobra kai. bella sat on the table, listening to the different stories.

"i remember the night after the all valley in '81, we all went up to the hills and got so high. i don't even remember how i got home or who drove me home. all i knew was that i was so fucking high." johnny laughed as he looked over to his mom, who rolled her eyes.

"and i remember, i would talk to you and you had these huge bags under your eyes. i had no idea what you were on until i smelt your jacket." laura said as she took a sip of her wine glass. "you boys are a handful, but you keep me young."

"you know we love you laura." tommy smiled as he took a sip of his drink. "you've been like a second mom to us."

"before joining cobra kai, johnny didn't really have friends. he was almost like an outsider; the little blonde outcast who always got into fights." laura sighed. "but then you boys came along and the rest is history."

"well, some things never change." bobby laughed. "he still gets into fights."

"not anymore." johnny said as he took a sip of his drink. "ex-degenerate, remember?"

"so what i'm hearing is that you weren't always the badass you are now?" bella smirked as she turned to her boyfriend and continued to eat. "i would've loved to meet little johnny."

"no, you wouldn't have." johnny laughed as he set his fork down.

"oh you would've." dutch laughed as he took a sip of his drink as well. "you've seen the baby pictures, right?"

bella gasped as she set her fork down. "i'd love to see them! i wanna see the little badass." she smirked as she held johnny's hand as his cheeks went red.

laura pulled pictures out of the photo album as the boys laughed and joked around. "here's his 1st birthday. he got cake all over himself, then i had to bathe him to remove all the frosting." laura smiled as she showed bella a picture of johnny as a baby.

"you're kidding me, ma." johnny said as he ran a hand through his hair and attempted to take the picture away from bella.

"you were a messy baby, weren't you darling?" bella teased as she smiled at the picture of her boyfriend as a one-year old. before johnny could take it out of her grasp, she handed it to laura, who pulled another picture out.

"this next one is my favorite one." jimmy laughed as he set his fork down and pushed his plate away.

"here's his first trip to the beach." laura smiled as she handed the photo to bella. the boys awed and smiled as they looked at more pictures. "i could not get him out of the sand. he loved it so much that he would fill his pockets with sand. i remember everytime i would wash his little clothing, it was all sandy."

"ma, that's enough." johnny said as his cheeks burned with embarrassment. bella admired the pictures of her boyfriend as a baby. bella handed the pictures back to laura as she put the pictures away.

"anyway, enough about johnny." laura smiled as she turned to bella and continued to eat. "he tells me that you've been accepted into nyu. congratulations sweetie!"

"i'm so excited, but a bit nervous." bella sighed as johnny intertwined his hand with hers. "i'll definitely miss the valley and the warm temperatures."

"new york can't be that bad." tommy said. "it's different, but it can't be that bad."

"it's definitely gonna be freezing." johnny said as he held bella's hand and rubbed her palm. "i know i haven't talked to you about it, but are you gonna be okay ma? i know sid's gonna be around but he comes and goes."

"don't worry about me. i'll manage." laura said as she took a sip of her wine glass. "i'll miss you both, but i know you have to make your way."

"anything you need, laura, we'll be here." jimmy said. "you've been a second mom to us, so i think i can speak for all the guys, that if you ever need anything, we'll be here."

"you see? don't worry about me." laura smiled as she turned to johnny and held back her tears. "you two have a great time in new york."

"besides, if anything happens to her, remember we're 4 to 1." dutch said. "if sid lays a finger on her, we'll take care of it. 4 to 1."

"that won't be necessary." johnny said. "if sid lays a finger on you, we're on the first flight back."

"laura, you're one lucky lady." bella smirked. "you have 5 incredible guys behind you."

"yeah, but you have the best one behind you." laura smiled as she turned to johnny, who placed a kiss on bella's temple.

"what about us?" tommy said as the rest of the boys groaned. "why's johnny the best one?"

"you know you boys are like family to me." laura laughed. "but i'm always gonna favor johnny because he's actually my son."

"so i am the favorite." johnny smirked.

"don't get too cocky." laura smirked. "because you're my son, you still have to help me out around the house."

bella and the boys laughed as laura stood up and headed to the kitchen, with the plates.

"fair enough."
