// Johnny's Point Of View //

I sat there with my eyes clenched closed waiting, I was waiting for him to hit me or yell. It never happened though, it was completely silent and I opened my eyes to see his face. His face didn't look like I pictured it to be, his eyes were wide and his mouth was agape. Just in case, I scooted back away from him so he couldn't do anything when he got out of his state of shock. My heart was racing against my chest and my hands shook more.

I didn't know what to do at the moment yet an idea of leaving before he could beat me senseless sounded quite nice. Sighing, I continued to look at his facial expression, I knew he was gonna hit me when his body caught up with his mind. He finally came out of his shock with a slight shake of his head and looked at me. I was scared out of my mind, I was going to get beat up today. . . He started smiling like crazy and grabbed a hold of one of my hands.

"J-johnny, your not messing with me about this," he asks nervously.

"N-no, I wouldn't joke about something like this," I said softly, a small frown on my face, what he said scared me.

"Well Johnny, since this is confession time. . . I have something to tell you as well," he stated calmly.

"W-what would that be? Your going to k-kick me out aren't you," I asked nervously.

"N-no, I'd never kick you out," he yelled in a new state of panic.

"Then what d-do you want to say," I asked quietly putting my head down.

"Johnny. . . I-i. . . I like you too," he said and I looked up at him.

"Your not l-lying," I asked, tears lining my vision at the thought of him saying that just to turn around and hurt me.

"No Johnny I'm not lying to you at all," he says taking his hand, lifting up my glasses slightly and wiping the tears out of my eyes.

In that moment I felt happy and I knew that he wasn't lying to me. He squeezed my hand reassuringly and sighs quietly, closing his eyes. Suddenly, he pulls me into a hug and I rest my head on his shoulder, keeping my arms close to my chest. I smiled lightly and took a deep breath, this was all real and not a figment of my imagination, it wasn't a dream. He pulled away slightly and planted a soft kiss on the tip of my nose.

I giggled and smiled softly, looking at him. He smiled and stuck his tongue out at me, acting like a little kid. It was really adorable and I couldn't help  it blush a bit, the tips of my ears got warm. He chuckled and hugged me again before pulling away completely. I sighed at the loss of contact as he locked his eyes with mine, he practically looked into my soul.

"Johnnycake, can I ask you a question," he asked smiling.

"Yeah Ponyboy," I asked nervously.

"What would you say if I asked you out right now," he asked with a smirk on his face.

"W-well I would say yes," I said, my face heating up more.

"Well then Johnnycake. . . Would you be my boyfriend," he asks hopefully.

"Y-yes, yes I would," I said giggling.

He jumped off of the bed and threw his hands into the air smiling widely, acting like he won the lottery. It made my smile grow bigger at the thought of me having him as a boyfriend, I had a little kid in a fourteen year old body as my boyfriend. He jumped around his room for another minute it or so before calming down and sitting back on the bed. He breathed heavily and smiled, still moving around slightly. I laughed at him and pushed my glasses up, they almost fell off.

His door opened and his brothers walked in. Panic rose in my chest and I freaked out thinking that they had heard our entire conversation. They shook their heads at us before laughing slightly.

"What is all of this racket in here," Soda asks laughing.

"We just had a contest to see who could jump the highest. And guess who won? That's right, yours​ truly," he said laughing while gesturing to himself.

"You wish you were the one to win that contest. You know I did," I yelled teasingly​, playing along with his little act.

"Alright boys, calm your excitement. Dinner will be ready soon. Johnny your welcome to stay over for dinner if you'd like," Darry asks smiling at Ponyboy and I.

"Yeah I'll stay over. . . I-if I'm not a bother," I ask quickly looking down.

"Johnnycake your never a bother," Ponyboy said softly.

"Well then I'll stay over," I said looking back up at Ponyboy's brothers.

"Alright well you two can occupy yourselves. Soda and I are going to go finish cooking," Darry says, Turing and walking out.

Soda followed behind him, closing the door behind them and I smile. I lay down on the bed and stare up at the ceiling. Ponyboy lays down next to me and pulls me close to him. I sigh and curl up into his chest, today went better than I thought. I close my eyes, not attempting to fall asleep what so ever, I'm just trying to take in the moment.

"Ponyboy," I ask quietly.

"Yeah," he asks.

"I'm glad your my boyfriend."

"I'm glad your my boyfriend too Johnnycake," he says chuckling.
