  Summary

  Ponyboy knew he was being stupid for falling in love with him again and again. He knew he was stupid for wanting to tell him about his feelings, and stupid for being greedy and wanting him all to himself. So incredibly stupid that he let himself give him a chance and to even trust him.

  All Johnny ever did was use him like the fuck toy he was. In his eyes, Pony was only his best friend with benefits.

  But why, after all of that, did Pony's heart beat like a fool every time he saw him?
