How so?
Chapter 1: It only started as a dream
Ponyboy Curtis is my name and this is the story of how I fell in love with my friend Johnny Cade.
I woke up one morning not knowing what time it was, I could see that the sun wasn't up yet so I tried to go back to sleep beside Soda but couldn't. I had too much on my mind to be thinking of sleeping, so I decided to go for a walk. A little fresh air might do me some good.
As I pulled on my clothes I noticed Soda talking in his sleep "Mmhmm, chocolate cake… ". I smiled; Soda loved chocolate cake, so my brother Darry always made sure there was some in the fridge.
Walking out through the house as quiet as I could I checked the time, the clock said it was 4:52am. Darry would've killed me if he knew I was going to go for a walk this late, but I just needed to be able to think. I decided that I should go to the park and have a smoke or a cancer stick as the gang liked to call it.
When I finally made it to the park I notice that Johnny was sitting on a swing, and it looked like he was in a fight with his father. How I hated his parents for treating him like he was worthless.
"Hey Johnnycakes, what are you doing out so late with no coat, you'll catch your death", trying to strike up a conversation with him to take my mind off my own train of thoughts.
"Oh yeah Pony, I could ask you the same thing" Johnny looked up from the swing he was sitting on. "Yeah, I guess you're right. I just had to go for a walk…" I said as I walked over to the swing next to him. "You know Darry well be awfully mad if he knows you've been walking around so late" Johnny said as he lit up a cancer stick.
I frowned, "He'll only know if you don't keep your mouth shut." This surprised Johnny and me both. The gang and I both knew that Johnny would easily take things to the heart. "I'm sorry Johnny, You know I never meant to say that, I-I'm just tired and grumpy that's all"
"It's okay Pony, I didn't mean to make it look like I was going to tell on ya" He gave me a shy smile and then handed me the cancer stick, and then there was an awkward silence.
"Say johnnycakes would you want to sleep at my place, that is if you want to and all?" I changed the subject, and smiled to Johnny as he looked over at me.
"You think your brothers wouldn't mind waking up to see me on the couch?" I smiled, "None at all, I mean you're welcome whenever you want, that is why we keep our door unlocked. I mean I remember one morning waking up and seeing Tim Sheppard on the couch." I waved my hands in the air to make it more dramatic.
"Yeah, okay then I'll go to your place" He smiled one of his rare smiles, which made my heart flutter. Why am I feeling like this? I though, then putting it aside thinking it was just because I was tired.
I put my arm over Johnny's shoulder as we started walking towards my house. I hushed him as we started walking up the steps and opened the door as quietly as possible and thanked god that Darry and Soda weren't up.
Johnny walked over to the couch and lied down putting his arm under his head while the other hung off the couch; I pulled out a blanket from the hallway closet and gave it to him. "Thanks Ponyboy, G'night" he yawned, I smiled at the thought that he would get a better sleep here then he would at his house, "Yeah Good night Johnnycakes".
As I walked back to Soda's and my room, I couldn't help but feel the same fluttering in my heart. I looked down the hall to see the end of the couch where Johnny's feet were and then pushed all the thoughts I had to the back of my head. Walked into the room and lied down next to Sodapop, as he wrapped his arm around me and said "mmm, Pony pass the chocolate cake".
I sighed and smiled as I fell deeper and deeper into unconsciousness. I can't remember how it happened but Johnny was on top of me, smiling and whispering something I couldn't hear. I was wondering what was going on. Johnny then looked me in the eyes and put his hand behind my neck, pushing our faces closer. Then he brought me into a passionate kiss, I lied still shocked, wondering if it was a dream or not. Johnny then took his free hand and rested it upon my chest; my heart started beating faster and faster as his hand traveled lower and lower until it was at my waistband of my boxers. I was so shock, not because it was Johnny but because I was enjoying it.
I woke up covered in sweat, I looked around, and soda's arm was still around me. It was only a dream... a dream about Johnny kissing me and touching me…
"Mmm, Pony what are you doing? go back to bed", Soda said tiredly before yawning and Turning the other way so his back was to Ponyboy. Pony just lied there staring at the ceiling, finally falling into a dreamless sleep.
Note: This is my first story. and I don't want to write to much because I want to know what you think about it first, before I continue on (:
