They sat in Johnny’s room, waiting for the right time to sneak Y/n back home.

Johnny could sense Y/n’s embarrassment from a mile away and there was no way he was going to let this golden opportunity pass.

“So...how does it feel to wake up in my room, wearing my clothes, after an unforgettable night?”

“Stop it, Johnny. I already feel horrible.”

“Horrible?!” Johnny gasped, clutching his chest dramatically.

“I thought you’d be honoured! Not everyone gets the VIP Johnny Lawrence drunk babysitting experience.”

She peeked out from behind the pillow, narrowing her eyes.

“Oh, honoured is definitely not the word I’d use.”

“You know, you were so charming last night. Telling the waiter he needed some company? Classic. I bet he’ll remember you forever.”

Y/n gasped.

“I didn’t!”

“Oh, you did. And you even said my milkshake order was boring. You called me predictable in front of the guy!”

She groaned again, throwing the pillow at him.

“Why are you like this? Just let me suffer in silence!”

“Nope.” Johnny said, catching the pillow easily.

“I’m paying you back for all the nonsense you put me through last night. You asked me so many dumb questions, Y/n. Like, do fishes drink water?”

Y/n buried her face in her hands.

“Please stop.”

“And don’t forget, you almost climbed out my window when you decided you wanted to ‘see the stars better.’”

Y/n looked up, horrified.

“You’re making this up. I did not do that.

“Oh, I wish I was. You were halfway out before I pulled you back in. And you told me I was ruining your ‘adventure.’”

Y/n threw another pillow at him.

“You’re so annoying!”

“Hey, just returning the favour. Fair’s fair.”

“You’re enjoying this way too much.”

“Of course I am. I’ve never seen you so embarrassed. It’s hilarious.” he smirked.

“Fine. Get it out of your system now. But I’ll get you back one day, Johnny Lawrence. Just wait.” y/n scoffed.

Johnny smirked, tossing the pillow back at her.

“I’d like to see you try. But until then…” He sat up straight.

“Want another piggyback ride? You seemed to love those last night.”

Y/n groaned loudly, flopping back onto the couch.

“I hate you.”

Johnny chuckled, standing up and stretching.

“Hate me all you want but you still owe me for not letting you fall out a window. Now, let’s see if you can sneak back into your house without making your parents think you’ve gone insane.”

"How though?" She asked.

“Alright, here’s the deal. Sneaking out of my house? Not as easy as it sounds.” He explained.

“Oh, come on, Johnny. I’ve had enough of this whole sneaking.around thing!”

“Well, too bad. My dad’s like a hawk. He’s always up, either watching TV or pretending to do something important. One wrong move.and we’re both toast.”

Y/n stared at him with her eyes wide.

“Are you serious? What kind of life is this?!”

“The Lawrence life, sweetheart. Welcome to it.” He shrugged.

She flopped back onto the couch dramatically.

“I hate this. I hate everything. Why didn’t I just stay home last night?”

“Oh, right. Because you wanted to make some new fresh friends. Totally worth it, by the way.”

Y/n sat up and glared at him.

“You’re the worst.”

Johnny laughed, pointing at her.

“You should’ve seen your face when I said my dad might catch us. Priceless. Like you just found out Santa wasn’t real.”

“Johnny!” Y/n threw the pillow at him but he ducked easily, still laughing.

A/n: someone tell me how many times did I make them throw pillows?

“Relax. I’ve got a plan.” he grinned.

“Does it involve me hiding in a trash can or something equally ridiculous?”

Johnny pretended to think about it.

“Now that you mention it, that’s not a bad idea…”

“Johnny! I hate all of this!”

He walked over and patted her on the head.

“Come on, it’ll be fun. Like Mission: Impossible but with way more stakes because my dad will lose it if he finds you here.”

Y/n peeked out from her hands, glaring at him.

“Why do I feel like this is your way of getting back at me for last night?”

“Because it absolutely is.” he smirked.

Y/n groaned again as Johnny opened the door slightly and peeked out.

“Alright, step one: don’t make a sound. Step two: if my dad sees us, just pretend you’re delivering a pizza or something.”

Y/n rolled her eyes, getting off the couch.

“This is the dumbest plan ever.”

“Dumb, maybe. But it’s gonna work.”

“I can’t believe I’m risking my life because of you.” She scoffed.

"At least you’ll have a great story to tell. If we survive, that is.”

“You are so not helping.” She sighed.

“I know.”

She grabbed her clothes from the chair in the corner, holding them like they were evidence from a crime scene.

“Okay, I’ve got everything. Let’s just get out of here before something else goes wrong.” she whispered.

“Relax. My plans never fail.” He smirked.

Y/n gave him a flat look.

“You? The guy who once got caught skipping school because you fell asleep behind a vending machine? Yeah, totally reliable.”

Johnny rolled his eyes but motioned for her to follow.

“Come on, just stick close and don’t-” He paused mid.sentence, peeking out into the hallway. His smirk quickly disappeared.

“What? What is it?” Y/n whispered, clutching her clothes tighter.

Johnny slowly turned back to her.

“My dad. He’s out there.”

Yn froze.

“What?” Her voice shot up and Johnny frantically motioned for her to keep quiet.

“Shhh! You want to get caught?” He hissed.

“Well, maybe I wouldn’t be so loud if someone had a better plan!” She snapped back in a whisper yell.

They both peeked out through the crack in the door. Sure enough, Johnny’s dad was standing in the kitchen downstairs ,pouring himself a cup of coffee. His face looked as grumpy as ever.

Y/n’s eyes went wide.

“Oh no, oh no, oh no…” She started pacing in place, clutching her clothes like a life jacket.

“Stop freaking out!” Johnny whispered, grabbing her arm to stop her from making noise.

“How can I not freak out?!” She whisper yelled back.

“Your dad’s right there.and I’m dressed like a burglar sneaking out of your house!”

Johnny couldn’t help but snicker.

“You do look pretty suspicious.”

“Johnny!” She smacked his arm but he only grinned.

They both peeked again. This time, Johnny’s dad was walking toward the living room. Y/n grabbed Johnny’s sleeve, panicking.

“What do we do? He’s gonna see us!”

“Alright, new plan. We wait until he’s distracted. Maybe he’ll go back to his office or something.”

“Or maybe he’ll see us and call the police because I look like a criminal!”

“He’s not gonna call the cops, Y/n. He’ll just yell a lot and probably ground me for life.” He rolled his eyes.

“Oh, great! That’s so comforting!” She hissed.

Suddenly, Johnny’s dad turned and started walking toward the hallway. Y/n panicked and grabbed Johnny’s hand.

“We’re gonna die!” She whispered dramatically.

Johnny tried not to laugh at how dramatic she was being.

“Okay, just hide behind me. I’ll handle this if he sees us.”

“You? The guy who can’t lie to save his life?” She muttered.

“Do you want my help or not?” Johnny shot back.

“Fine, but if this goes bad, I’m blaming you.” She whispered, clutching his arm as they both ducked down behind the door.

They waited, holding their breath as his dad passed by the hallway. Y/n peeked out with her eyes wide.

“Is he gone?” She whispered.

“For now. But we have to move fast.”

They carefully tiptoed toward the back door.

“This is the worst morning of my life.” She muttered.

“Nah, it’s kinda fun.”

“Speak for yourself.”

Both of them moved like they were in some spy movie...except, it wasn’t nearly as smooth as they hoped.

Y/n’s foot tapped on the floor and Johnny shot her a panicked look.

"Quiet!" He whispered harshly, gripping her arm like it was a life raft.

"I'm trying but you're the one who keeps tripping on stuff!" She whispered back.

Just then, Johnny’s dad’s voice echoed down the hall.

“Johnny, is that you in there?”

Both of them froze. Johnny immediately dropped to the floor, pulling Y/n down with him.

“Shhh!” He hissed, pinning her to the ground.

Y/n’s eyes were wide.

“What now?” she mouthed.

Johnny didn’t say anything, just motioned for her to stay down. They both stayed there, barely breathing as his dad’s footsteps grew closer.

"Is this really happening?This is like a nightmare.” She muttered.

Johnny tried to hold in his laughter but it came out in a strangled chuckle.

“Don’t jinx it.”

Then, out of nowhere, his dad’s voice boomed.

“Johnny? I know you’re in there, don’t make me-”

The door to the kitchen creaked open.

Y/n, in her panic, elbowed Johnny in the ribs.

“What do we do?!” She whispered.

“Shhh!” Johnny shot her a desperate look. But as they huddled there, Y/n’s foot hit a stack of cans by the side of the counter.

The cans clattered to the floor with a loud crash.and both of them froze.

“Who’s there?!” Johnny’s dad shouted from the other room.

“Oh, no. This is it, we’re caught!” She whispered.

Johnny jumped to his feet and grabbed her arm.

“Run!” He hissed.

They bolted for the back door but just as they were about to open it, Johnny’s dad turned the corner and saw them.

“Hey! What the hell do you two think you’re-” Johnny’s dad started but Johnny didn’t wait to hear the rest. He swung open the door and shoved Y/n through it.

They were outside now.but they weren’t safe yet.

“Move, move!” Johnny shouted, running down the backyard like a madman with Y/n scrambling after him. They could hear his dad’s footsteps behind them, getting louder.

“Where do we go?!” Y/n yelled, trying to keep up.

“I’m not running in these shoes!”

“Just follow me!” Johnny yelled, dodging a bush and almost tripping over his own feet.

Y/n was right behind him but she wasn’t much better at running.

“I can’t believe I’m doing this. This is the most ridiculous thing ever!”

Johnny smirked, glancing back.

“Tell me about it.but we’re almost there!”

They made it to the side gate but just as Johnny was about to open it, he heard a loud voice behind them.

“Johnny, you better not be-”

The gate swung open just in time and both of them squeezed through it, tumbling onto the ground on the other side.

They scrambled to their feet, Johnny wiping dirt off his pants while Y/n tried to adjust her clothes.

“Well, that was... chaotic.” Y/n gasped, looking up at Johnny, who was grinning from ear to ear.

“That was perfect. Nothing like a good ol’ escape.”

“Are you serious? We almost got caught by your dad. You could’ve had me arrested!”

“But we didn’t, did we?”

“You’re insane.”

“Yeah, well, you’re the one who decided to drink and create this whole mess.” Johnny teased.

“Don’t remind me.”

On their way back to Y/n’s house, the night felt quieter but Y/n’s nerves were still on edge.

Every shadow seemed to make her jump.and every little sound had her looking over her shoulder. Johnny, on the other hand was walking casually beside her.

“Relax, it’s just your house we are going to.” Johnny said.

“I’m not worried about my house. I’m worried about my dad catching us sneaking around like criminals. We don't know if he is sleeping."

“Yeah, because that’s totally gonna go over well, right? ‘Hey, dad, just here with your daughter’s... friend... sneaking in after a wild night.’”

Y/n shot him a look.

“Stop it, you’re not helping.”

He raised his hands in mock surrender.

“I’m just saying, if you get caught, I’ll be long gone. I’m not sticking around for that lecture.”

“I’m not getting caught, Johnny. Just keep walking, please.”

But Johnny wasn’t finished teasing her yet. He slowed his pace, giving her a wide eyed look.

"What if someone’s watching us right now?”

Y/n froze.

“What?”

Johnny grinned, tapping her shoulder.

“Gotcha! You should’ve seen your face, you were ready to bolt!”

Y/n punched his arm.

“You’re so annoying!”

Johnny laughed, holding his arm in mock pain.

“Ow! You hit like a girl.”

“I’m a girl!” she shot back then immediately regretted it.

“Ugh, I mean-forget it.”

“You know, for someone who’s going sneak in, you would make a great job of making it look suspicious.” He teased, looking at her like she was a nervous wreck.

“I’m just being cautious! You wouldn’t understand. You probably do this all the time.”

“Not exactly. I just have a different approach to stealth. You know, like... not freaking out at every little thing.” He shrugged.

Y/n narrowed her eyes at him.

“I don’t freak out!”

“Really? Because I swear I saw you jump at that tree branch just now. I thought you were about to run for your life.”

“I didn’t jump.”

“Sure you didn’t.”

They continued walking in silence for a moment but Johnny couldn’t resist messing with her one more time.

“So...what if we got caught by your dad right now? What do you think he’d say?”

Y/n’s eyes widened and she immediately stiffened.

“Johnny, stop it!”

Johnny laughed, practically doubling over.

“Come on, you’re too easy! I’m not gonna let you live this down anytime soon.”

As they got closer to her house, Y/n’s steps slowed down.

“Okay, seriously. I have no idea how I’m going to explain this to my parents even if I get caught.

“Just tell them you got lost on your way home. Works every time.”

“You’re no help.”

When they reached her house, they both paused. Y/n’s hands were shaking slightly  but Johnny was quick to tease again.

“So, do you need help getting inside without anyone noticing or are you good to go?” He asked.

“I think I’ve got this.”

Johnny raised his hands in mock surrender.

“Alright, alright. But if your dad starts shouting, just know I’m already halfway down the block.”

“Of course you are. Good night, Johnny. Thanks for... well, everything. I guess.”

“Yeah, yeah. You’ll thank me more once you’ve had time to process the chaos of last night.”

“I’m still trying to forget it.”

She looked at the pipe and was ready to climb it.

“Hey, Y/n.” He called out again.

She turned around.

“Don’t go sneaking around again. At least not without me."

“We’ll see about that.”

“So...last night you were sneaking around with Mike and now you’re sneaking back in with me. Interesting upgrade.”

Y/n froze, her face turning red as she shot him a glare.

“Johnny, seriously?”

“Hey, just pointing it out. You go from one guy to another like it's nothing.”

Y/n threw her hands up in mock frustration.

“You’re impossible!”

“Just making sure you don’t forget about me. Anyway, good luck getting in there without waking anyone up.”

“Yeah, yeah, thanks for nothing!” Y/n muttered

“Anytime. You know where to find me.” He smirked.
