…
(General)
"Tosh," Ponyboy cried excitedly as said puppy ran into his arms.
With a smirk, Curly followed the dog walking into the Curtis' house sitting down beside Ponyboy on the couch.
"How has he been," Ponyboy looked to his friend curiously. Tosh was lying peacefully on his lap.
Curly gave him a shrug. "He's been alright, nothing to complain about. He's a little too quiet isn't he?"
Ponyboy smiled and started to pet Tosh.
"Yeah I guess he is," he admitted, "but he is just a puppy. He just has to learn to be more confident and demanding."
Curly let out an 'hm' in response. He seemed to be deep in thought for some reason.
"What's wrong," Ponyboy asked him curiously.
"Nothing," Curly snapped himself back to reality and shook off the question directed at him.
Ponyboy didn't seem to convince but he let it slide for now.
"So what are you doing today babe," Curly asked casually.
Ponyboy winced and looked down nervously.
Today was Ponyboy's date with Johnny and he had been anticipating this day for a while. Ponyboy was hesitant to tell Curly about this date due to how protective Curly could get. Curly reminds Pony of his brothers in so many ways. First there is the protectiveness, second there is how selfless he can get in relation to him, and third the cutesy nicknames (ex. babe).
"Well, Johnny asked me out on a date," Ponyboy replied slowly.
Curly didn't seem visibly effected by the news, although his eyes did gloss over somewhat.
"That's great," Curly told him without a hint of emotion on his face.
Ponyboy blushed and look down at his feet.
"I know you might think it's a little early for me to start dating again," Ponyboy assumed, "but I think I'm really starting to like him, much more than I thought possible."
"I said 'that's great' didn't I? So just drop it," Curly snapped with a glare.
Ponyboy's his widen as Curly's sudden mood change.
"Do you not like Johnny or something," Ponyboy asked quietly, "Curly?"
"You, I just, I can't," Curly replied nonsensically. He started to run his hand through his hair in frustration.
"Fuck," he yelled slamming his fist down on the couch.
Both Ponyboy and Tosh jumped at this.
"C-Curly w-what's wrong," Ponyboy stuttered getting a little scared.
Hearing how worried Ponyboy sounded seemed to calm Curly down somewhat, but not by much.
"It's nothing babe," Curly murmured, "nothing at all."
Ponyboy was still looking at him in worry.
Curly gave his young friend a smirk, although it did seem to lack a little of its regular luster.
"I'm not going to risk it," Curly told him, "I can't lose you."
"Curly…"
"I'll pick up the mutt tonight," Curly informed him before walking out of the house.
Ponyboy just looked at the place where his friend was just sitting in confusion.
Just what was that? (1)
…
"This is it," Johnny said to himself straightening out his hair in the mirror.
Johnny had only a couple more minutes before he had to meet Ponyboy and he was unbelievably nervous.
"It's going to be okay Johnny, it's going to be okay," he kept repeating to himself.
The doorbell rang suddenly causing him to jump up in panic.
"Who is that," Johnny wondered. They weren't expecting any guests.
"Johnny," he heard his father call out to him.
"Yeah?"
"Was your date supposed to meet you here," Johnny's father asked from outside the bathroom door.
"No."
"Oh, well he's here," Johnny was informed.
"What?"
This caused Johnny to slam open the door to the bathroom practically running down stairs to meet his date.
"Johnny," said boy stopped as he heard his father call out to him again.
"What," he asked somewhat impatiently. He didn't want to keep Ponyboy waiting any longer than he should.
"Everything's going to be fine son," Johnny's father grinned giving him a thumb's up.
Johnny smiled back at his father.
"Thanks dad," he said before rushing downstairs.
Johnny rushed downstairs to find Ponyboy waiting for him patiently.
"Sorry for meeting you here," Ponyboy apologized, "my brothers didn't want me out in the middle of the day all alone."
"Aw, it's alright," Johnny gave him a comforting grin. "So, um, are you ready to go?"
"Yeah," Ponyboy nodded.
"Great," Johnny cried out before dragging himself and Pony out the door.
"Have fun kids," they heard Johnny's mother shout to them as the left.
Johnny smiled at the encouragement he was getting from his parents.
Let's hope this goes well, Johnny prayed to himself.
…...
"Uh, uh," Ponyboy shook his head in protest.
"Come on, it will be fun," Johnny urged happily.
"No," Ponyboy shook his head adamantly.
Right now, the two boys were in 'Gerald Gates Roller Skating Rink' a place where you, well, roller skate. It was a new place that just opened up a couple months ago in Tulsa.
"Have you ever tried roller skating," Johnny asked.
"No," Ponyboy denied, "but I did see Soda try it once. He fell on his face so many times he had to go to the hospital to bandage up his head."
Johnny winced.
"Well, I'm sure you'll be more coordinated," Johnny replied optimistically, "besides you'll have me to teach you."
Ponyboy gave him a skeptical look.
"Please," Johnny begged, "I'm sure you'll like it once you get the hang of it."
Ponyboy looked him over before sighing and taking the skates in Johnny's hands and putting them on his feet.
"At least the shoes are dirty," Ponyboy mumbled.
Giving Ponyboy a small smile, Johnny outstretched his hand for him to take. Slowly Ponyboy took the hand being watchful of his balance.
"Ah," Ponyboy cried softly as he could already feel himself wobbling.
"Easy," Johnny advised as they skated into the rink with all the other people there.
As soon as he entered the rink Ponyboy started to slip up.
"Bend your knees," Johnny ordered gently.
Whimpering, Ponyboy complied bending his knees a little bit.
"Good, now center your weight," Johnny told him.
Once again, Ponyboy did what he was told. Unfortunately, Ponyboy centered his weight little bit to forward causing him to lose control of his legs. Slipping as if he fell on a banana peel, Ponyboy crashed right into Johnny causing both of them to fall onto the rink.
"Ow," Johnny groaned rubbing his head.
"I'm so sorry," Ponyboy apologized, "I told you I'm terrible."
"Don't worry about," Johnny waved off the fall and stood them both back up, "let's give it one more try."
Johnny took both of Ponyboy's hand in his and steadied them.
"Now, center your weight, and this time don't lean forward," Johnny mockingly reprimanded.
Pouting at the jab, Ponyboy lightly hit him on the shoulder before complying with the instructions given to him.
"Slowly come toward me," Johnny advised.
Ponyboy started to slowly slide toward Johnny, taking small baby steps.
"I'm doing it," Ponyboy smiled brightly as he noticed he was starting to get the hand of skatubg.
Johnny nodded his head chuckling.
"I knew you would. You're a smart guy Ponyboy."
Ponyboy blushed at the compliment. He squeezed Johnny's hands tighter smiling at him shyly.
Happily, the two of them went several times around the rink, not caring about the time.
…
(Two Hours Later)
"I must admit, that was indeed fun," Ponyboy confessed as they walked away from the roller rink.
"I told you it would be," Johnny replied happy that Ponyboy had a good time.
"So do you think you would do it again," Johnny joked.
Ponyboy snorted.
"Not any time soon," Pony told him, "it still scared me a little."
Johnny shook his head at Ponyboy fondly. He then looked at his watch to see the time.
"Do you want to get something to eat," Johnny asked, "my treat."
"You don't have to pay for everything Johnny," Ponyboy quickly told him, "I have money."
"I know I don't have to pay Pony," Johnny reassured him, "I want to pay. You shouldn't have to pay for anything."
This offended Ponyboy greatly. Ponyboy was at a point in his life where he was trying to move past his young, helpless, and naïve stage and more into his young adult stage. He doesn't want people treating him like he's a child anymore. He wants to be seen as the young man that he is.
"Why shouldn't I have to pay for anything," Ponyboy demanded, "is because I'm weak and can't take care of myself?"
"No," Johnny wanted to kick himself to insinuating that, "I just want to take care of you thats all."
Ponyboy looked away tyring hide his brief look of hurt.
"But I don't want to be taken care of all the time," Ponyboy whispered to himself.
"What," Johnny asked.
Ponyboy shook off his hurt for now. He didn't want to ruin the great time he had been having.
"Nothing," Ponyboy replied with a small smile, "let's go get something to eat."
Johnny gave him a skeptical look.
Rolling his eyes, Ponyboy linked his arm around Johnny's and walked them to the place he wanted to eat at.
…
"Wow, this is actually pretty good," Ponyboy claimed taking another bite of his burger.
"You're impressed that the restaurant you picked has good food," Johnny asked with a chuckle.
"I'm impressed that it's serving good food today," Ponyboy corrected, "usually it's a little iffy when there foods going to be okay and when it isn't."
Johnny nodded eating some more of his fries.
"This is so not date food," Johnny commented amusedly.
Ponyboy raised an eyebrow at him.
"And what exactly is 'date' food," Ponyboy asked.
Johnny shrugged.
"Crabs, Lobster, Steak," Johnny listed, "anything that people eat on special occasions."
Ponyboy stopped eating to give Johnny a blank look.
"Johnny," he started slowly, "I don't know if you noticed but I'm poor. Rarely do I eat things like steak and crabs on 'special' occasions let alone on a date. I never even had lobster before."
Ponyboy gave the other boy a smirk.
"If you were to present me with some kind of crab or lobster dinner, I'd probably smack you across the face for spending so much."
Johnny pouted at those words.
"But I want at least one thing in the meal to be special," Johnny murmured to himself. Gazing at the menu casually something interesting caught his eye.
"I'll be right back," Johnny proclaimed as he stood up in a rush and went to the ordering counter.
"Where are," Ponyboy cut himself as he noticed Johnny out of hearing range. Shrugging, he went back to meal waiting for his date to return.
(Five Minutes Later)
"What have you been doing," Ponyboy demanded as Johnny came back.
Johnny shrugged looking to be fight off a smile that was on his face.
Ponyboy narrowed his eyes at him.
"What are you hiding," Ponyboy asked with narrowed his as he noticed Johnny holding something behind his back.
Happily, Johnny took his hands from behind his back and revealed what he was hiding.
Ponyboy gasped.
"My brownie ice cream combo," Ponyboy breathed in awe.
"With a cheery on top," Johnny added popping a cheery on top of the ice cream.
Impulsively, Ponyboy reached up and gave Johnny a big kiss on the cheek and snatched the ice cream from him.
Johnny just stood there in shock as Ponyboy tore into his desert.
"At least I know I got one thing right tonight," Johnny said gaining a big smile on his face.
…
(A Couple Minutes Later)
"That was great," Ponyboy smiled contently.
"Glad you liked it," Johnny grinned at him, "so what do you want to do next?"
"Hm," Ponyboy thought for a moment, "can't be anything that would take up to much time. I only got a couple more hours until curfew, and Darry said if I was so much as a minute late he'll hunt you down and kill."
Johnny laughed nervously.
"Don't worry Johnny," Ponyboy smiled him innocently, "I'm pretty positive that he won't kill you, per se."
"Gee thanks," Johnny replied sarcastically.
"Let's go see what new movies they have out," Ponyboy told him.
Johnny nodded and followed Ponyboy to the movie theater.
(Movie Theater)
"What movie do you want to see," Johnny asked his date as they looked at what was showing today.
"Um, how about the," Ponyboy's eyes flashed as he noticed a particular title, "Oh, the new Paul Newman movie!"
"I didn't know you were Paul Newman fan," Johnny stated, "which one of his movies do you like?"
Ponyboy sighed dreamily. "All of them."
Johnny furrowed his brow at he noticed Ponyboy getting a little dreamy eyed.
"Hey," Johnny cried out getting a little jealous.
That seemed to snap Ponyboy out of his little Paul Newman induced daze.
"Sorry," Ponyboy apologized sheepishly, "I just really like his movies.
"Right," Johnny replied condescendingly, "his movies."
Pouting, Ponyboy took Johnny's hand and dragged him into the theater.
Ponyboy sat in his seat star struck at the film he was watching. He wasn't really paying that much attention to the movie, rather he was in awe of Paul Newman.
Johnny was just walking back from the concession stand with a couple snacks.
"I got you some popcorn," Johnny said handing Ponyboy his bucket.
"Thank," Ponyboy took the bucket not once taking his eyes off the movie screen.
With a sigh, Johnny sat down next to Ponyboy getting comfortable in his seat.
"What's happened so far," Johnny asked taking a sip of his drink.
"Huh," Ponyboy looked at him in confusion, "oh, I don't know."
Johnny looked at him in amusement.
"You've been sitting here for the past thirty minutes and you haven't been paying attention to the plot," Johnny smirked at him.
Ponyboy blushed and looked away with a huff.
Johnny chuckled at him. "What is with you and Paul Newman?"
"I can't help it," Ponyboy shrugged, "I have two great guys around me. Sorry for not paying attention to every detail."
"Two," Johnny raised an eyebrow at him.
Ponyboy smiled and linked his arm around Johnny's bring them closer.
"Yeah, two," Ponyboy laid his head on Johnny shoulder and went back to looking at the movie.
Johnny looked down at Ponyboy fondly before focusing on the movie again.
Once again today, these two found themselves blocking out everyone else in the room and only focusing on each other.
…
(Later That Night)
"I had fun," Ponyboy confirmed gripping Johnny's hand tighter as he was walked back to the Curtis home.
"I'm glad you did," Johnny smiled while letting out a big sigh to himself. He was worried he screwed up somewhere."
"What did you like best," Johnny asked curiously as they reached the Curtis' lawn.
Ponyboy rolled his eyes playfully. "The ice cream of course."
"Of course," Johnny grinned.
They both laughed at this.
"Do you think this could happen again," Johnny asked hesitantly.
Ponyboy smiled and nodded slowly.
"I could see something like this happening again in the future," Ponyboy teased gently.
Overcome with happiness, Johnny impulsively moved closer and kissed Ponyboy.
Johnny froze as he heard Ponyboy let out a gasp of shock. He was scared that he messed and moved too fast, but was pleased to see Ponyboy shut his eyes and returned the kiss. Happily, Johnny shut his eyes and leaned into the kiss as well.
Their lips moved with each other's slowly as Ponyboy wrapped his arms around Johnny's neck and Johnny's hands rested on his waist. Johnny tongue gently prodded Ponyboy's lips, asking permission to enter. Without hesitation, Ponyboy opened his mouth and let his tongue meet Johnny's. Their tongue danced together in a gentle yet passionate rhythm.
Very reluctantly, they broke away from each other not wanting things to go to fast. For the longest time they did nothing but stare into each other's eyes just admiring one another.
"I have to go," Ponyboy breathed.
Johnny nodded and slowly let go of Ponyboy.
"Bye," Ponyboy whispered as he waved and walked to his house. Taking one last look at Johnny, Ponyboy closed door and entered his home.
Once he was gone, Johnny let out a big laugh all the while continuously pumping his fist into the air.
With a huge smile on his face he ran home beyond please with today's events.
Something actually went right today, Johnny thought to himself ecstatically.
