"Johnny, I missed you so much," I said, tears forming in my eyes as I ran to him from the other side of the street.

"I missed you too, Princess. So much," He responded, squeezing me.

"Man, you look great," He says, not letting me go.

"Thanks," I kissed his cheek.

"So how was the flight?" He asked, letting go of me, and moving his arm to wrap around my waist. I sighed. The flight. Don't remind me, it was 14 and a half hours! I never thought I would make it, I thought I would fall into eternal sleep before I could ever got the chance to tell my boyfriend that I loved him. 

"Ugh. Long. Awful. Uncomfortable. I thought I was going to die. All that kept me going was knowing that I was going to get to see you when I got off," I admitted to him. He smiled, I could tell it brightened his mood a little bit.

"God, you were gone for so much longer than a year, Y/N. It was like a decade," He said.

"I almost didn't make it, Johnnycake. I missed you so much, I almost wanted to come home sooner," I told him. My mom got a job in China, so she and I had spent the past year there. Finally, I got to go home, and got to see my boyfriend for the first time in over 365 days.

I could perfectly remember every letter he sent to me, every picture there, every story, every "I miss you".  Even more, I never forgot his voice when I called him crying three months ago, telling him that I couldn't wait any longer to see him.

"You'll be okay. I'll see you when you get back. 92 days, baby, and then I finally get to hug you again," He had said, not even asking why I was calling him all the way from China, or getting upset at how either of us would ever be able to afford this call. I remember a small gasp coming from my mouth, as realization had set in that he had been counting down until he got to see me again.

"I can't do it, Johnnycake!" I cried, "I just miss you so much."

The small sigh, the wobble in his voice as he said, "I know. I miss you too, baby girl," is what I remember most. And then reality took a turn for the worst.

"Uh... Y/N, I have to get going," He said, sounding a bit nervous. I found out later that his parents had just gotten home and he didn't want them knowing that he was talking to me from so far away.

"I'll see you soon, okay? I love you," He said. And then he hung up. After violently throwing the phone down and curling up into a ball of my own tears on the floor, I realized that this call would cost so much more than what his parents could ever afford, even if they actually stopped spending all of their money on booze. A long distance call from China to Tulsa, Oklahoma was one of the stupidest decisions I had ever made, and it physically hurt to imagine how much his parents took it out on him after they got the monthly phone bill. Even if it was only a 3 minute call, I can't even imagine how much it cost. My mom never told me, never even mentioned it...

"Gosh, Johnny, this is all so surreal. I never thought I would get to see you again," I said.

"Me either. I'm so glad you're back."

"So am I," I admit. Johnny and I have been friends since we were kids, and have been close since the day we met. I never though I would have to leave him, especially when we started dating three years ago.

"So how was it?" He asked me. I think before talking.

"It was... okay. I didn't make too many friends. Nobody really wanted to talk to me. They said I looked different, so they were nervous. I tried to talk to them, but none of us really clicked the way you and I always have, Johnny," I told him.

"School was different without you. I used to like showing up because you and I had all of the same classes, and suddenly you weren't in any of them," He said, frowning a bit.

"I'm sorry," I said, laying my head down on his shoulder.

"Aw, it's cool. Not your fault. I at least had Pony and Two-Bit, and sometimes Dal even showed up. None of 'em are in my classes, but at least I could walk to classes and stuff with them," He said.

"Well, I'm glad I'm back. Next year we'll be in all of the same classes again and I'll be happy to walk with you every day," I told him, smiling for real. One of the first times since I left Tulsa...

"That's great. Hey, Y/N?" He asked. I looked up at him.

"I love you," He says. Tears streamed down my face, I'd been waiting to hear him say that in person since I left.

"Hey, don't cry," He said, gently moving his thumb down my cheek to wipe away the dripping tears.

"Sorry..." I said, blinking the remainder of them away.

And that's when it happened, for the first time in over a year, Johnny Cade kissed me. One hand went to my shoulder, the other one was on my cheek, his thumb stroking my cheek bone. His lips moved closer to mine as if we were in slow motion, and when they finally touched, it was like magic. Slowly, my eyes closed, and I felt his soft lips against mine. After a few seconds he pulled back, and I realized that that was the greatest kiss of my life. I realized how much I had craved his lips while I was gone, and for the first time in a while, I realized how much I really missed him.

I narrowly held back tears, but I laughed at his cute face, which was tinted a light pink blush. I missed that handsome face more than anything...

"I love you, Johnny," I whispered, a smile appearing on my face. I had finally made it to the day where I got to say it to his face, not just in a letter....

A/N: Jaden Smith Karate Kid anyone? No you're right, that wasn't really the greatest movie. We could call this my situation then... Minus the boyfriend thing. Mostly just moving to China part, actually...

Anyways, I'm babbling. I had Johnny feels, so I wrote a Johnny imagine. I have like 3 other requests to do, so I should probably write them. See you later ^-^
