A/N: Ha! I told you I would write this as soon as I can! Now, read. Now. You know, unless you scratch your eyes out at slash, but hey, I already said it was slash in the summary so I don't know why you would not like slash and click on the link…I'll shut up now.

Enjoy!

Dallas's POV

This wasn't something I had expected. I had thought I had all the time in the world to get him. He never showed interest in girls, but even with that, he might just float away from me.

Every time we would hang somewhere such as the Nightly Double or The Dingo, I'd keep my eye on them, making sure they don't notice. Of course, they noticed from time to time.

This was all happening right before my eyes. Now, it was the time. I never thought it was this soon though. I figured I wouldn't come to this for not until he was a few years older. How damn wrong I was.

I wanted to take action, but I didn't want to harm Johnny. He's like a little brother to me. Then again, he's the one making this hard for me.

That's when my mind hatched an idea. And man, was this foolproof. I took out a paper, picked up a pencil that was on the floor, and started writing. Hmm, when was the last time I actually wrote in class?

When I finished, I sat there waiting until the bell would ring. Sheesh, these classes are so slow. What time is it? I glanced my eyes up at the clock. Five minutes until next period.

I was thankful for a minute that Johnny's locker was closer to this classroom than the one he's in right now. Heck, right by the door, actually. I stuffed the note in my pocket and waited.

Four and a half minutes just passed. I was still waiting, but even more impatiently. I wanted to get out of my seat and set the seconds.

Fifteen more seconds.

I started tapping my index finger on the desk in front of me.

Five more seconds.

I silently counted down.

The bell rang and I was the first to get out. Glory, these classes are fucking torture. I was wondering why I even was enrolled into one as I stuffed the folded paper in Johnny's locker, and I walked off. I felt a longing for a cancer stick and went out the front door.

Johnny's POV

Today was actually one of the few days I was capable of going to school. My father was asleep from a hangover, so gladly, I didn't have to wake up, only to have fist coming towards me and giving me bruises.

The bell ring told everyone the hour was over. It was time for last period.

Today was Friday, and I was about to ask Pony if he would go 'hang out' somewhere, like the Nightly Double, for a date, but we would never tell anybody that it's a date. I was thinking about asking him when I opened my locker and saw an unfamiliar folded paper. It was probably another test I failed in, but just to make sure, I unfolded the paper.

Johnny,

Meet me at the Dingo today. Tell me when you have other things planned.

-Dally

Well, there goes the date. Hey maybe not, since I can tell Dally I do have other things planned. Then again, he's the one being suspicious about my relationship with Ponyboy. Besides, it's been a while since I did anything with Dally, and he's like a brother to me.

Suddenly, everything went black. I felt print of a palm around my eyes and heard a voice saying, "Guess who."

I recognized that voice sooner than the hand. "Ponyboy," I said, the hands were gone, and Pony appeared next to me. It seemed to me Soda had rubbed some of his playful traits on his brother.

Pony gave a nudge on my shoulder, "Wanna go somewhere tonight?"

"Sorry, Pone" I said, "Dal just asked me if I can go to the Dingo with him, and I haven't been spending time with him in a long time,"

Ponyboy's POV

Even though I was slightly disappointed at Johnny's news, I understood completely. When he mentioned it, I noticed how little time he's been with Dally.

I gave him an understood look, "Hey it's okay. There's always Saturday, or next week,"

The bell rang once more. It was time for last period.

(Two Hours Later)

I half-laid on my couch flipping through channels. I had allowed Dally and Johnny to hang out on their own, my brothers were at work, and Two-Bit was out looking for another blonde to date. Yeah, best Friday ever.

Glory, there was absolutely nothing on. I had to shut the television. I turned to lay on my stomach and groaned in the pillow. I was about to get up and read a book in the room I share with Sodapop, but then I heard the front door opening. I wondered who it was. Maybe it was Two-Bit getting a drink or Steve getting off his work shift to relax here for a sec. I raised my head to welcome the visitor, but I didn't expect this.

Why is Dally here? Didn't Johnny say Dally invited him to the Dingo? If that's so, then where's Johnny?

"Dally?" I said questionably, "Whatcha doin' here?"

A/N: Heh, sorry it came out short, but I had parents in this room longer than I thought v.v

Flames – No please.

Criticism – Sure, but only for 'future chapter' purposes. Also, I don't want negativity towards this to go with it.
