// Daniel's Pov //

The sun shone through my bedroom window and lit up my room. I sat up slightly and looked down and next to me, laying there, was Ponyboy. He was fast asleep, facing me and cuddled into my chest. I smiled lightly and layed back down, bringing him closer to me. Looking to my left, I read the clock on my stand, 9:30 am.

Last night after finishing dinner, Ponyboy and I went to bed. He was gonna sleep on the couch until I convinced him to sleep in bed with me. He was very shy about it but he slept next to me anyway. It was the best sleep that I have had in forever. It felt good sleeping next to him.

Sighing, I sit up and move Ponyboy so he's laying next to me and I get up. I stretch out my muscles and walk to the kitchen. The room is dead silent except for me getting things out and moving around. I start making making coffee because its my life, I need it. . . Minutes later it finishes brewing and I pour it out into a mug before taking a sip.

Leaning on the counter with my elbows, I continue to sip at my coffee and look out of my window. It wasn't to bad of a sight, all it was anyway was another building. . . I took another sip of my coffee and sighed. People were already out and about walking down the street. They had jobs to get to, I mean I do as as well but not until Monday and it was Sunday right now.

I was about to take another sip of my coffee when I felt a tap on my shoulder. Turning around, Ponyboy stands there rubbing his eyes. I put down my coffee and pull him into a hug, he was freezing. He hugged back and placed his head on my chest. Smiling lightly, I pull away.

"Dani I'm cold," Ponyboy mumbles.

"Give me a second I'll go get you something," I said, my face heating up.

When Soda called me Dani I didn't like it but if Ponyboy likes it I'll keep it. I walk off to my bedroom and open the closet, grabbing out one of my sweatshirts. Bringing it back to him, he slips it on and smiles lightly. The sweatshirt went down on about mid thigh with him, he just about drowned in it. I pull him into another hug and smiled more.

"Thank you Dani," Ponyboy said.

"No problem. What do you want to do today," I ask.

He shrugs and looks up at me and scrunched up his nose and huffs. If he was thinking he should do it more often it's cute. He did that for another minute or so before finally stopping. What is he thinking about? Inhave to admit the look is really cute though. . .

"Could we stay home today and watch television," Ponyboy asks quietly.

"Yeah, we can do anything you want," I reply.

I let go of him and walk over to the living room and sat on the couch, him sitting right next to me. He leans his head onto my shoulder as I turn on the television. I hand him the remote to let him choose what we watch. He flips through a bunch of channels before settling on one and watching it. Looking a the television, I realised that the cooking channel was on.

"You watch this channel," I ask surprised.

"Uh y-yeah, I like it," he says shyly.

Chuckling at his shyness, I turn my head to watch the show. I never did really get what they did so I didn't pay attention to the show. Maybe, I could finally grip how to do this, I could learn to do something useful. Ponyboy was enthralled with the show and wouldn't take his eyes of of it. It was adorable the way his eyes looked when doing or watching something he likes.

I turn my head back to the television and smile lightly. To be honest, I myself was getting to really like this show. It's interesting really because it's amazing how people can cook so well, unlike me. . . I can't cook if my life depended on it, I'd burn this building down trying. Yeah I remember when I was with my mom, I tried cooking and it didn't end well, I started a fire. . .

So yeah, don't trust me to cook or bake, or to be around a stove like ever. It might save your life one day of you stop me from cooking. I rub my eyes with one hand because the television hurt my eyes. My other arm was wrapped around Ponyboy's waist and held him tightly. He was about asleep, he looked super tired.

Four hours, four hours I've been watching the same channel. Ponyboy managed to stay awake and watch four more hours of the cooking channel. After that, I turned the television of because I felt that my eyes were burning from watching the show for so long. Ponyboy rubbed his eyes and closed the for a minute. He was either gonna fall asleep or his eyes just hurt to much.

"Ponyboy are you tired," I ask softly.

"Yeah, that show hurt my eyes and made me tired," he mumbles.

"Wanna go sleep in the bed or just sleep here," I questioned.

"I wanna sleep in the bed," he said softly.

I pick him up and hold him close to my chest, bringing him to the bedroom. Placing him down, I cover him up with the blankets and kiss his forehead. I leave the room and sit back on the couch. There was nothing to do except watch more television so I turned that back on and turned the volume down. I didn't even pay attention to it really, it just bothers me they it was so quiet.

I don't like the quiet really, it freaks me out. If it's quiet, I think there is something there and I get scared. It doesn't help that I'm scared of the dark and stuff either. I've always been scared of the dark ever since I was little. Inside darkness scare me but if I was outside and it was dark, that scared me even more.

// Authors Note //

Well, I managed to get something because I did fall asleep for five hours and them woke up at about 11:30 pm. It is 1:16 am now. . . I got some writing done because of that. Before I forget, go and read my friends book. greaserbabes has a one shot book and I love it so much! Umm telling you guys this because I love it, she didn't tell me at all. Her most recent one shot killed me with cuteness and I died. So please go read that. I'll see you all.

Till then,
