// Ponyboy's Point Of View //

I walked outside and down the street, I can't believe I actually have to bring this girl to my house. Well, it's not a girl but they don't know that, I have to bring Johnny home to meet my brothers. Honestly, the look on my brother's faces will be priceless but the aftermath could go bad, I hope it doesn't​. Reaching the park, Johnny sets on the bench hi!King quietly to himself, his eyes closed. I sit next to him and rest my head on his shoulder.

"Johnny, we may or may not have slight problem," I say quietly, turning my head and looking at him.

"What's the problem baby" he asks quietly.

"Well Soda wanted me to bring the girl over that I had my eyes on. I told him I would so that's why I'm here to get you," I muttered sheepishly.

"So basically we have to tell them that we're dating," Johnny asks calmly.

"Y-yeah, that's exactly what we have to do. . . How are you so calm about this situation," I asked lifting my head up.

"I don't know, just in a good mood I guess," he said shrugging.

"Why are you in such a good mood," I ask curiously.

"Well, I woke up cuddling with you," he said giggling with a hint of red on his cheeks.

"That's so sweet johnnycake," I said quietly.

"So, we better get over to your house huh," Johnny asked softly.

"Y-yeah, yeah we better go before Soda dies from frustration or something," I said standing up and sticking my hand out for Johnny to grab.

"Alright," Johnny says grabbing my hand and standing up.

I gripped his hand tighter as we walked home, I'm so scared that my brother's would kick me out and hurt Johnny. I don't want him getting hurt because of this. He squeezed my hand and used his thumb, rubbing soft circles in the the back of my hand. It called me down slightly but you can never be truly calmed down huh? We continue he walking until we reach the font porch.

I let go and wrap my arms around him softly, giving him one last hug before we went in and explaining some things. He hugged me back and pressed a kiss against my cheek softly, making my face go red. No matter how many times he kissed me, I always manage to get flustered by it every time. He sighed and let go before looking at me one last time. I nod slightly and he opens the door letting us both in and closing it behind us.

"I'm back you guys," I called out to my brothers.

"Hey Ponyboy, did you manage to get your future girlfriend to come over," Soda asks teasingly from the kitchen.

". . . A-actually, yeah I did," I said turning my he'd to look at Johnny before looking ahead of me again.

"Well I'll be there in a minute it's, I just have to finish helping Darry," Soda called.

I sat down on the couch and Johnny sat next to me. He took a hold of my hand and squeezed it softly, in a way it helped me to feel better. I sighed and heard footsteps causing Johnny to let go of my hand. Soda and Darry walked out and stood in front of me, a questioning look on their faces. I sighed again, I know they aren't going to understand this at all.

"So Ponyboy​, where is your girl at," Soda asks.

"S-soda about that. . . It's not exactly a g-girl that I brought home," I mumbled quietly, looking down as I fiddled with my hands.

"S-so my little man has his eyes on a little gentleman," Soda asks.

"U-uh yeah, yes I do," I said looking up to meet their eyes.

"Darry, you know what that means? Hand it over," Soda said with a smirk.

"Dammit all," Darry mumbles and reaches int his pocket, pulling out a twenty and handing it to Soda.

"Wait! You bet on me being gay," I yelled.

"Uh. . . Yes, yes we did," Soda said shamefully.

"Well at least one of you got money out of this," I mumbled.

"Okay now that this is out of the way. . . Do you have a boyfriend or not," Soda asks.

"I do have a boyfriend. . .," I said feeling my face heat up a bit.

"Awww who is the little gentleman? Did you get him here," Soda asks excitedly.

"Yeah I did," I said softly.

"Where's he at," Darry asks.

I stood up slowly and sighed, pulling up Johnny's hand so he stands next to me. He wraps an arm around my waist and pulls me closer to him. I smile lightly and look at him before turning my head to look back at my brothers. Soda has a smile on his face while Darry had a small smirk on, the looked happy but I wasn't too sure. I stood there and sighed, hoping that they felt okay with all of this.

"Darry. . . Twenty more, I know you have it," Soda says with a smile still​ looking at Johnny and I but stick his hand out.

"Yeah yeah I know," Darry said handing over another twenty.

"Man Soda you playing all of the right cards," I said giggling.

"Yeah I know. . . I really am happy for you two though," Soda says stuffing the money in his pocket.

"I'm happy too even though I lost forty dollars for it. . .," Darry said softly.
