Ponyboy lays on his bed with Johnny, arms around the older boy loosely. Johnny was holding him close, a small smile on his lips. He hums and presses a kiss to the younger boy's head.

"I didn't know one boy could be so cute," Johnny cooes gently. "How do you do it? Look and act all cute all day?" Ponyboy's cheeks go bright red in response.

"I dunno," Ponyboy murmurs shyly. "I guess I just get up, shower, get dressed, and then go wherever I need to go. I don't do much at all really. But you on the other hand... You look like you take an hour in the bathroom. No one is this perfect." Johnny blushes.

"I actually don't even spend half an hour in the bathroom," Johnny says. "I shower, get dressed, dry my hair, and leave." Ponyboy giggles softly.

"No way."

"Yes way."

Johnny looks down at his soulmate with loving eyes, leaning down slowly. He presses his lips against the younger boy's gently. The younger boy presses back softly and leans himself into Johnny's frame.

The two kiss for a minute before pulling away, smiling at each other. Johnny kisses Ponyboy's head longingly. The younger boy laughs before perking up a little.

"Oh, wait," Ponyboy exclaims. He wiggles out of Johnny's lose grip and walks over to his desk. He opens the drawer on it and pulls out the two friendship bracelets. The boy walks back over quickly and sits on the bed, bouncing a little.

"I made this before we stopped talking," Ponyboy says. "I saw you with that girl and then got really upset so I never gave it to you... I'm sorry." He hands one of the two bracelets to Johnny, giving a weak smile.

Johnny smiles proudly and puts the bracelet around his wrist, looking at it. He's never gotten one of these back home.

"I love it," Johnny says. "And it's okay. I probably would have been upset as well so it's okay." Ponyboy leans back onto him and cuddles up, slipping his own bracelet on his wrist.

"I'm also sorry if the colors suck," Ponyboy says. "I couldn't exactly tell which colors I was using." Johnny looks down at the bracelet, smiling.

The bracelet Johnny was wearing consisted of lime green and orange as well as bright pink. To most people, the colors wouldn't mix and it would be bad but to Johnny, the bracelet was gorgeous. He adored it more than anything (besides Ponyboy of course).

"It's amazing, love," Johnny says. "It's really pretty." Ponyboy grabs Johnny's hand and gives it a gentle squeeze. The younger boy giggles.

"Thank you," Ponyboy says. "That means a lot."

"You're welcome."

Johnny kisses Ponyboy's temple and holds him close, humming gently now. The younger boy curls up into Johnny, still holding his hand carefully.

Ponyboy listens to Johnny's humming, closing his eyes and resting his head against his chest. The older boy continues to hold him close carefully. That is how the two boys stayed all night.
