Chapter Text
Johnny:
"Hey Pony have you seen my.. " Soda says then stopping in his tracks
Pony opens his eyes and pushes my face away
"SODA IT'S NOT WHAT YOU THINK IT IS" Pony says jumping up from where he was sitting
"Um.. Nevermind" Soda says while he turns around and walks the other way
"SODA IT'S NOT WHAT'S YOU THINK IT IS" Pony repeats running out the door
I could see the tears forming in his eyes while he ran out the door, his face hotter than ever. I got up from the bed and chased after Pony.
"Um Darry, you might wanna ask Pony about what I just saw.." Soda says while taking a seat on the couch. Soda's face made him look like he just saw Steve get eaten by a bear
Pony runs into the living room just as Soda sat down. He runs grabbing the front door handle just about to run out when Darry stops him.
"Ponyboy Michael Curtis. Wan't to explain what Soda saw? What were you doing young man" Darry says staring straight into his eyes.
It's scary seeing Darry act like a father, especially when he says Pony's full name, I don't get to hear it a lot unless he's in a shit of a lot of trouble.
"It's nothing important now, I'm going to go to the lot" Ponyboy says looking down at his feet and crying angrily.
"Your full of shit Pony, it must of been something because Soda wouldn't have that reaction if it was nothing. Now tell me what happened. Now" Darry says with cold eyes even I was getting scared and I wasn't the one in trouble.
"I saw him kissing Mr. Johnny cade over here in the bedroom" Soda says crossing his arms because he knew Pony would never confess.
"Excuse me" Darry says absolutely shocked. "Ponyboy is this true?" Darry says angry and confused.
"Maybe that is true" Ponyboy says getting angrier by the second
"What the fuck are you on boy? You know for a fact that this isn't right. Are you some kind of homo boy?" Darry says visibly upset.
"Does it really matter? " Ponyboy said embarrassed and rethinking everything he ever did "Now I'm going to the lot like I said" Ponyboy said gripping the door handle.
"Whatever, See if I care" Darry said still as angry as ever. "And take your faggot boyfriend too" pushing me towards Ponyboy.
Man I felt bad for him, for me I didn't really care because I was treated like this by my folks all the time, gay or not gay. But Ponyboy is always treated with respect by Darry and Soda.
"Whatever, Let's go Johnny" Pony says grabbing my jean jacket sleve and pulling me out the door.
I follow him outside and I can hear Darry screaming from inside
"SINCE WHEN IS PONYBOY CURTIS A FAG, MAN WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO SODA"
I sped walked away hoping Ponyboy didn't hear him...
"Pony.... Are you okay?" I said trying to start a conversation with him, before it was dead silent walking to the lot
Pony stops in his tracks
"Does it look like I'm okay Johnny? I just got called slurs and I'm not ever sure if I'm allowed back home" Pony says with angry tears in his eyes.
"Don't worry Pony, I'm sure that they will understand in no time don't worry" I walked up to Pony and gave him a hug and he broke down in my arms.
- time skip -
It's now sunset, I was making a fire for both of us because we decided we were going to sleep in the lot untill things cooled down in the morning.
"Are you warm enough Pone?" I said looking over at Ponyboy
"Yeah don't worry" Pony said shivering, the only thing he had on was the sweater with no sleaves, jeans and his favorite pair of converse in the color white.
"Yeah you don't look too warm" I said putting my jean jacket around his shoulders
We look up at the beautiful sunset from the lot, colors swirl around the sky. Pinks and blues with hints of yellow like sweet cotton candy from a fair. It was absolutely beautiful I wish I had a disposable camera to take in this amazing sky.
"Man Pony aint that sky beautiful" I say then turning to look at him
"Yeah, yeah it is" Pony says looking at the sun. His eyes sparkle in the yellow sun and his red-brown hair shines.
We both look off into the sunset forgetting everything that has happened to us, Pony puts his head on my shoulder as we stare into the sun taking in this moment. I kiss his forehead just as we both fall asleep...
