Chapter Text
Ponyboy and johnny cade were out, It was the 4th of July after all! Johnny was smoking and Ponyboy was drinking some beer. They were closer than ever that night. Ponyboy's arm was around Johnny's shoulders and their faces close together, though Ponyboy was mindful about Johnnys scar on his cheek. Ponyboy felt bad (Actually bad was an understatement) Ponyboy felt awful. He felt as if he should of helped Johnny even though he wasn't near him when he was getting jumped and help out as much as he could when him and the gang found him in the lot. "What ya thinkin about Pony" Said Johnny "Of how beautiful the stars are" "Come on Pony you've never been interested in the stars whats is it actually" "its nothing" Johnny didnt push any further, he just stayed silent. It was a good silence, not the awkward kind of one, the kind that kinda says im here for you in some kind of way, the kind that is comforting, the best kind of silence. They sat in the good silence for about 3 minutes when the fireworks started. Ponyboy stared in awe like hes never saw fire works in his life even though theyre quite common in his life. Pony was too distracted by them than he didn't even notice Johnny staring at him. "What ya never seen fireworks before" Johnny teased "Haha very fuckin' funny" Pony replied sarcastically "They're wonderful though" Johnny finally looked at the fireworks "Yeah they are" and just like that they sat in a bunch more good silence until they went back home.
