#Daniel seems like he'd be quite the vindictive little shit when it comes to Johnny

Lawrusso ficlet. Johnny hates it when Daniel gets mad. Rating: Mature.

Oops.

He just walked into some of Daniel's bonsai trees, and now they're on the floor in a heap of broken pots and dirt. Maybe he and Miguel shouldn't have been playing frisbee inside the house, but whatever, it was an accident, shit happens.

He really hates it when Daniel gets mad at him though. Actual anger, not his familiar exasperation lined with affection. So when Daniel gets home and asks what the hell happened, Johnny says he doesn't know and silently hopes that Anthony will end up getting the blame.

The first time Johnny was there to witness Daniel getting angry at his kids (which didn't happen a lot) his stomach had went queasy and he'd tensed up, staring blindly at the table. It took a few more times of seeing that Daniel never turned malicious, never had 'destroy my kids with cruel words' in mind, for Johnny not to react like that anymore.

Doesn't mean he likes it when that anger is turned to him though. Luckily, Daniel seems to let the whole thing go pretty quickly, sighing deeply and getting to work instead of searching for the culprit. Johnny helps him clean up the mess and repot the bonsais, since he does feel a little bit guilty. But mainly he's just relieved to be getting away with it.

That night in bed, Daniel goes down on him. And it's so good. He's doing something with his tongue that makes Johnny's brain short-circuit. The pleasure is building steadily and his toes curl in anticipation of the amazing orgasm he's about to have. Right when he starts to groan, his pleasure cresting, Daniel pulls away completely.

"No, no," Johnny gasps out. He desperately reaches for himself but Daniel bats his hand away with a fast sweep of his own.

He's still coming, but the sensation quickly dwindles instead of culminating into the powerful release that he'd been working towards. Then it's over, and he's left with a deep frustration that nearly brings tears to his eyes.

"What the fuck."

Daniel's giving him a look that tells Johnny he's in deep trouble.

"That's for destroying my bonsais and lying about it."

So much for getting away with it.

But still, what the fuck.

"You can't just do that man!"

"Aw, do you feel betrayed Johnny? Like I let you down, maybe?"

Johnny realizes he's not going to win this round.

"I'm sorry, okay! I... I should've just manned up and told you the truth."

"Yes you should've," Daniel says. But his voice already sounds milder, warmer.

When he pulls Johnny close to him Johnny goes willingly, relieved that Daniel is done being mad. During their cuddling, Johnny quietly resolves that next time he'll try a lot harder to avoid the consequences of his actions.
