Summary
Those eyes, those ocean-deep blue, caught him a little off guard as they hit him, bright against the sunburned skin and the wild, golden curls clinging to his forehead. The man looked like he belonged to the Californian heat, the dust and the open road, and his eyes were… well, something.
“Daniel,” he muttered, avoiding the man’s gaze. “Daniel LaRusso. Glad I could help.”

Summary
Sun. Sand. Surfboards. Slow burns.
Daniel LaRusso was expecting a chill summer, literally. A simple job at a beachside rental shack, some ocean breeze, and maybe a few ice creams along the boardwalk. What he didn’t expect? Getting stuck on the same shift as Johnny Lawrence, his high school rival, eternal pain in the neck, and apparently, new coworker.
Johnny’s only there to fulfill community service hours and avoid ruining his life again. But OceanMotion Rentals has other plans: mandatory teamwork, a sarcastic teen coworker, multiple accidents, and a Fourth of July party that neither of them will forget.
Between sunscreen mishaps, awkward confessions, and an unspoken competition to see who can fold towels faster, the heat between them starts to feel a little less like hatred… and a little more like something else entirely.
A slow burn enemies to "what even is this?" summer romance, Heatstroke is a sunshine soaked story of rivalry, redemption, and the kind of connection you never see coming.
(AND YES, this is meant to sound like a romcom intro voiceover)

Summary
“Mr. Miyagi, I think this is—wait. Wait. What?!”
Johnny turned his head and nearly choked on his gum. Standing in the aisle like he’d just seen a ghost was none other than Daniel freakin’ LaRusso.
“Oh, come on,” LaRusso said finally, hands flopping dramatically at his sides. “What is he doing here?”
Johnny raised his eyebrows, biting back a smirk. “What am I doing here? I could ask you that. I was here first, princess.”
LaRusso looked at Mr. Miyagi, wide-eyed and utterly betrayed. “You invited him?”
“Hai. No need for drama.”
“No need for—” LaRusso stopped and tried again. “He... he’s like... he bullied me, remember that?”
Johnny groaned. “Oh my god. That was, like, months ago. Get over it, LaRusso.”
All Johnny meant to do was thank Mr. Miyagi for saving his life. He didn’t expect it to turn into an accidental trip to Okinawa with Daniel LaRusso.

"If we're playing the who started it game, he threw the first swing."
"And you didn't hesitate to chuck a sucker punch right back, huh, LaRusso?" Johnny fires back, jaw tightening.
"Sorry that I'm not the pushover you dreamt of me being."
"Oh as if I'd ever dream about your sorry ass—"
