Here we go. Yaoi/Slash. Johnny/Peanut.
You've been warned. This is the prolouge, sorry for its lack of length. I've had a rough time tonight haha
"Johnny, I can't do this anymore. Its over." Lola said and turned walking away from the Greaser King
Johnny clutched the space over his chest where his heart was as if that gesture would stop it from breaking. No such luck, he fought bravely to keep his tears back and won the battle. He managed to get himself back to the Tennemets and curled up into himself in a ball on the dingry matress he called a bed. The next morning in school Lola was wearing Aquaberry, Lola was holding hands with Gord, Lola was giggling with Pinky, Lola was sitting with the preppies at lunch.
Lola wasn't Johnny's girl anymore.

Johnny was taking this worse than ever. Peanut was sure he heard him crying, but Johnny never let on how hurt he was, not this time. Besides, Johnny Vincent never cried. A week and a half passed and Johnny was wallowing in self-pity.
"..'cause I'm ugly" Johnny murmured sitting near Jimmy's beach house on the docks, his chin cradled sadly in his work-toughened hands
Larry looked at him, "Whats that boss?" he asked
Johnny looked up at him, "Lola. Its cause I'm ugly, ain't it Larry?"
"Nah, Boss" Larry shook his head, "Nah, no way! Lola just.. she just lost it, you know?" he said hoping to cheer up his best friend
Johnny shook his head, "Look at me, Larry!" Johnny exclaimed looking up at his friend, and it was true, Johnny had seen better days. Johnny's eyes were red and bloodshot, he'd been skipping a lot of classes, making up the hours by fighting, drinking, and taking detention. The whole clique was worried about him but no one could do anything.
Larry pulled a face, "You.. you just need some sleep, man." he insisted
Johnny sighed and nodded and he pushed himself up, "The guys're having a party tonight, huh?" he asked Peanut who nodded and Johnny reached down and grabbed Larry's wrist and hoisted him to stand.
Larry shuddered, God, he just wanted Johnny to slip his hand a little further down. Thats all Peanut even wanted- to hold his hand and walk with him, and love him better than Lola ever could. Give him what he craved most: just some real understanding.
They walked back to the Tennements, shoulder to shoulder, lauhging and joking like it was all good. Like they hadn't a care in the world.
