SMUT ALPHABET HERE
(ROMANTIC) FLUFF ALPHABET HERE
A = Adventures (what kind of crazy shit would you get into together?)
I don’t think you two would be all that crazy. Maybe the odd spontaneous road trip. Sometimes you would go hiking. You actually share a goal of eventually travelling abroad.
B = Bond (what kind of - platonic, obviously - relationship do you have with each other?)
You have the closest friendship possibly. Anyone who knows you says you are inseparable, joined at the hip. It makes sense when you tell people that you grew up together, as neighbours, your mum's both besties, too.
C = Cuddling (do you ever cuddle? how physically affectionate are you?)
You both love cuddling and are both very physically affection. Sometimes he will offer you his arm while walking together, and resting your head on his shoulder was a regular occurrence when watching movies.
D = Dance (do you ever dance together? how?)
Most of the time when you go out for evenings, you go dancing. Again, your mum's were also best friends. So, Daniel's mother had taught him to dance, they'd both taught you.
E = Enemies (were you ever enemies? Do you share the same enemies?)
Never. You'd had fights, of course, but nothing too crazy. Usually they'd result in a day or two of ignoring the other person before you talked it out and hugged. As for the second part, any enemy of Daniel's was an enemy of yours, and vice versa.
Fight (how often do you fight? how do you resolve conflict?)
Barely. Usually over dumb things, too.
Gain (how have you helped each other improve as people?)
Daniel always pushed you out of your comfort zone. He never let you give up on your passions. And for him, you always made sure that he never let himself get pushed around. You constantly told him that he should defend himself more, and not just with his karate.
Help (how do they ask you for help? how do they help you when you need it?)
You're close enough that you trust each other fully - when either of you needs help, you ask for it, straight up.
Injured/ill (how would they act if you got hurt or sick?)
Daniel hovers when you are sick or injured. Asking you constantly if you need anything, and if he's not around, he calls. With him, you are less overbearing. Still worried/concerned, but you check in less frequently... to his face that is. Instead, you bother his Mum or Mr Miyagi, asking through them how he is.
Jokes (what’s their sense of humor like? how do you joke about things together?)
You both have that quick wit. The back and forth never stops, and you're always laughing together or at each other. Daniel's jokes can be more tame than yours though, sometimes you'll let slip a dirty joke or two.
Kisses (do you ever kiss? how? Kisses not on the lips count)
When you say goodbye, you peck each other on the cheek. A quick hug and a swift peck is never, ever forgotten.
Love (how do they show you they care?)
Daniel overshares. Not in a bad way, in a way that shows you he has complete trust and faith in you. He tells you everything. You, show him love through listening to it all, always being there for him.
Meeting (how did you meet? how did you become friends?)
Neither of you would remember your first meeting, as you were babies, born only several weeks apart. You were neighbours from birth. When he moved, your family also moved, that's how close you were.
Nesting (do you co-habitate at all? how?)
You had a small apartment together for about a year. Eventually, you were going on dates, and having them over, and so you decided to move. But you still lived on the same street, 4 houses between you both.
Oasis (is there a specific place that is “your place”? what is it?)
You love to hang out in Miyagi's garden. Sometimes you'll train together there, sometimes you'll just sit and talk. There's also a particular coffee shop that you frequent often.
Protection (how protective are they over you?)
You're incredibly protective over each other. But, with that being said, it never applies to dates or partners. You never want to make a possible romance feel awkward by being overly involved and protective. You want Daniel to be happy, and he wants the same for you. In short, relationships are the exception- the only time you push away that protective instinct. Unless those said partners break hearts...
Query (how inquisitive are they when it comes to getting to know you?)
You already know everything there is to know about each other. You never push the other into sharing anything they don't want to. However, in your pre-teen years, you would constantly ask every question you could possibly think up, even the silly ones.
Record (what’s something you’ll never let them live down?)
You tease Daniel a lot about the 'lessons' Miyagi taught him. You thought it was quite obvious what was going on when it was happening, and you admitted to Daniel that you actually laughed with Miyagi about it a couple of times.
Support (how would they show their support for you? how far would that support go?)
He was like Kris Jenner at your college graduation, cheering a little too loudly and snapping photos. He always made sure you felt proud of yourself by telling you how proud he was of you. Your way of showing support was giving him the biggest hugs, and sometimes gifts.
Trust (how much do they trust you? how do they show you that?)
Again, you tell each other everything. There isn't anything you can think of that you would tell him. Daniel trusted you the same, the only time he withheld anything was when he was being bullied in school. The sudden decision to learn karate was explained to you through the lie of 'I just want to try something new.' But it didn't last long. After only the first lesson, he had met up with you, complaining about his aching hands and shoulders, and then inevitably spilled why he really wanted to train. It wasn't even am issue of trust, he just felt embarrassed.
Uplift (how do you bring each other up?)
Movie nights, or dancing are your favourite ways to uplift or cheer each other up.
Vacation (do you ever travel together? what’s that like?)
You haven't travelled far, but you both really want to. Daniel wants to travel somewhere cold, and you aren't too fussed, as long as you can get away for a little break soon.
Worry (do they worry about you? how often?)
He worries all the time. It's part of the package deal when you have a best friend. Though, it shows the most when you are hurt, heartbroken, or sick. You mostly get worried for Daniel when he gets mad. What happened with Si*ver lives in you head rent free, and you'd be lying if you said you weren't worried about him falling into a trap like that again.
X = Xerox (are there any traits or habits of theirs that you’ve picked up by accident?)
Daniel likes to talk with his hands, and that is definitely something you picked up from him right away. I
Y = Yahoo (what’s an inside joke you share?)
You often bring up the iconic (if you do say so yourself) audience heckle from Daniel's first tournament - "Johnny, you're a creampuff!" Jokingly, you'll call each other 'creampuff' when one of you jumps or gets scared. 
Z = Zany (do they have a weird side only you get to see? what’s it like?) ((I changed this one a little because I really wanted to include this!))
Daniel doesn't talk about what happened to him, with many people. The bloody knuckles, the bruised foot, the horrifying second tournament. Along with the events of what happened in Okinawa. In fact, he still doesn't talk about it. However, a few weeks after his second tournament, when the excitement had died down, he had a nightmare. You'd been staying over that day, sleeping on the sofa bed and when you knocked on his door to ask if he was okay, he let you in. And he told you everything, and about how it all made him feel. He showed you one spot on his knuckle that had actually scarred. He also told how guilty he felt for that one night he yelled at Mr Miyagi. And that's the side you see more than anyone else in his life: the vulnerability, and the ptsd.
