// Daniel's Pov //

Ponyboy and I have been together for about two months now and his brothers are still oblivious to is being together. Well, as far as Ponyboy and I know, them or the gang hasn't said anything or pointed to out yet. Of course, we have had a few close calls here and there. . . By a few I mean at least four times. . . Yeah, we almost got caught four times. . .

Close Call One

Ponyboy and I were siting on the couch at his house with the television on. His head was rested on my shoulder and my arm around his waist. His brothers weren't home at the moment and neither was the gang so we decided to relax. I turned my head and kissed his forehead softly before turning my eyes to the television. There was nothing really interesting on at the time so I wasn't really truly paying attention.

"Dani," Ponyboy asks softly.

"Yeah hun," I ask turning my head towards him.

"I want ice cream. . ."

"Then how about we go and get some down town," I ask.

"Yes," he yells, his eyes lighting up.

"Go get your shoes on I'll write a note​," I say standing up.

Ponyboy walks off to grab his shoes as I grab a notebook and pencil. I write a short note saying that we went out and turned around. Ponyboy had his black Converse on and put on one of my zip up jackets. I smile lightly and walk to the door, slipping my shoes on. Checking my wallet, I had about fifty dollars in it so we'd definitely have enough.

He reached over and intertwines our fingers together and opens the door. Standing there were his brothers. I let go of his hand quickly and smile at his brothers. They walked in and then looked at Ponyboy questioningly.

"Why do you have Daniel's jacket on," Darry asks.

"I-i couldn't find mine so Daniel is letting me wear his," he says nervously.

"Alright then," Soda says as if he wasn't sure.

Close Call Two

Currently, Ponyboy and I were laying on his bed, him reading out loud to me. I liked it when he read out loud, his voice is amazing, it's intoxicating. It's like I drug I never wanna stop taking. His voice is so soft and smooth, he never messed up when reading to me. I loved it. . .

I had my head on his lap, looking up at him as he continued to read. His attention was on the book while mine was not, my full attention was on him. I studied his features closely. He had beautiful green and grey she's with cutest button nose with freckles covering his cheeks. He was so amazing and he didn't even have to try. He was beautiful without even knowing that he was.

I closed my eyes and he continued to read the book, flipping through the pages. After a few minutes of him reading he stopped but I kept my eyes closed. In the next moment, I felt something soft against my lips. I opened my eyes and Ponyboy pulled away from me. I smiled and leaned up, pressing a soft kiss against his lips.

The door know turned and I pulled away quickly. Sitting up and taking my head out of his lap, the door opens and there stands Darry.

"Hey guys, dinner is ready," he says before leaving.

Close Call Three

I was helping out at Ponyboy's house with the cleaning because I just felt like it. Ponyboy and I were finishing up what was left of the dishes, I washed and he dried. It didn't take very long washing them but once we were finished, I stood there staring out of the window. It was beautiful, the sun was setting and it looked great.

I wrapped my arm around Ponyboy's waist and brought him closer to me. He rested his head on my shoulder and smiles. He loved the sunsets a lot, they were one of his favorite things. Sighing, I pull away from him and turn around. Soda comes from around the corner with a trash bag in his hand.

"Did you guys already finish doing those dishes," he asked putting the trash in the trash bin.

"Yep we sure did. Every last one of them, Daniel washed and I dried," Ponyboy stated proudly.

Soda chuckles at his proudness and I did as well. Soda left the room and I turned to face Ponyboy. He had a proud smirk on his face and stood in a fancy pose with his hands on his hips. I giggled and shook my head at him. He stopped posing and looked at me.

"You are such a dork," I said.

"But I'm your dork," he said softly.

"Yep, and I'm not letting you go," I replied.

"Good, cause I'm not either. . ."

Close Call Four

Ponyboy and I sat next to each other at the theater. His brothers were here watching the movie with us. They left to feet more popcorn and drink while they left us to watch the movies. A jump scare popped up on the screen and Ponyboy jumps up and yelps. He reached for my hand and grabbed it tightly.

I looked at him, pure terror was shown on his face and he was shaking. I rubbed circles on the back of his hand and smiled lightly. I continued to do that and he turned back to face the screen. I did as well, the movie wasn't even that scary but I guess to him it was. His brothers came back and I let go of Ponyboy's hand, balling my hands up in my lap.

They walked and say back where their seats where, right next to Ponyboy. They handed the drinks back and I got mine back. I took a sip of it before another scare came on right as I turned to the screen. I freaked out and choked on my drink, coughing. Sofa and Darry laughed at me quietly while Ponyboy looked at me with concern.

"I'm good," I say trying to breath.

Yeah, so a lot of close moments so far. There are bound to be way more of them in the future. Let's just hope that they don't suspect anything of us. . .
