It was finally the weekend and Ponyboy somehow managed to talk Darry into having the gang sleepover at their house for the whole weekend. Steve and Two-Bit agreed; and so did you. Everyone was to meet at the Curtis' around 6 or 7 at the latest. It was 6:30 and you had procrastinated so hard on when you were gonna get your stuff ready to go. In fact, you fell asleep and didn't even know what time it was. You hurried to get your stuff together and got done in a record 10 minutes. It was 6:45 when you were headed out the door; after saying goodbye to your Dad and giving him a kiss on the cheek as a farewell for the weekend. You hopped into your '57 Chevy Bel Air that you saved up for since you were 6 and headed over; speeding over the speed limit only by about 10 mph. You were all greasers, so that meant the cop knew he had to pull you over. He gave you a ticket and you gave him the finger. When you pulled into the driveway of the Curtis', it was 6:58. You rushed to the porch and practically busted down the door.

Sodapop: Y/n! We thought you weren't gonna come!

Y/n: Oh, I just procrastinated big time.

Steve: What's that piece of paper?

You looked at your hand and saw you were still holing the speeding ticket the cop gave you. You huffed and sat down on the couch beside Soda. It was you and him on the couch, Two-Bit and Steve on the floor, Darry in the kitchen and Pony sitting in the big recliner.

Y/n: A ticket.

Ponyboy: Why'd you get a ticket?

Y/n: Speeding.

You crumbled the ticket and threw it against the wall. Two-Bit let out a loud and long low whistle.

Two-Bit: Someone's grouchy, is it that time of the month?

You got up from the couch and belted Two-Bit in the face so hard that it cracked your knuckles along with Two-Bit's nose. He fell backwards as Steve and Soda were laughing.

Two-Bit: Fuck Y/n! My nose!

Steve: Eh, you deserved it. If Y/n hadn't had done it than I would've.

You sat back down and looked at Steve who was smiling at you. Alright, you liked Steve. A lot. Thing was, you were too shy and embarrassed to confront Steve about how you felt. You were anxious that he would reject you. Darry came walking out of the kitchen.

Darry: What's going on here?

Pony: Oh, ya know. Two-Bit getting punched in the face for something he said.

Darry: Did he deserve it?

Everyone but Two-Bit nodded their head.

Darry: Than I don't care.

He left you and the rest of the gang alone to finish dinner. Ponyboy lead Two-Bit to the bathroom to care for his nose, so it was just you, Steve and Soda.

Soda: Welp, I think I'm gonna go help Superman out with dinner.

You glanced at Soda and you could have swore you saw him wink at Steve. It soon became awkwardly silent between you and Steve. Even the background noise of Mickey Mouse (which Two-Bit was watching) wasn't making it better. You sighed and fiddled with your nails when you saw Steve get up and sit down on the couch next to you. He put his arm around you and you felt your heart begin to race.

Steve: So Y/n, how have ya been?

Y/n: Pretty good, I guess.

Steve: Alright, I think it's about time I came clean with you.

You felt your breath catch in your throat, but you thought of a perfect sarcastic comment you just had to say.

Y/n: You're finally coming out of the closet?! I knew it!

You heard Two-Bit laughing like a maniac from the bathroom and you were grinning like the Cheshire cat. Steve chuckled and nudged you.

Steve: I like you, Y/n.

Your stomach filled with butterflies and you felt as if you were gonna puke. But come on, who doesn't feel that way when your crush is talking to you?

Y/n: What?

Steve: Yeah, I like you a lot Y/n. I've always wanted to tell you but I just never did have the courage to. I was afraid of rejection. I've like you ever since I saw you step into the DX for the first time. I still remember it, you were the new girl in town.

Y/n: More like the socially awkward person in town.

Steve: Since we're alone and we're gonna be here for two whole days together, I just thought I'd get it off of my mine.

Y/n: Thanks for telling me.

You looked at Steve and it looked as if his face kinda drooped and a frown form on his face.

Y/n: Oh Steve! I'm not saying I don't like you! I, uh, I actually really like you too.

You saw his face lighten up and you mentally relaxed a little.

Steve: Really?

Y/n: Yes. Every single thing you just said about being afraid of rejection was the exact reason why I've never confronted you about how I felt.

You and Steve's eyes locked together and you could tell that the gang was standing in the doorway watching you and Steve's every move. But it didn't seem to bug you and Steve the least. You cracked a smile and so did Steve. It seemed like you were both thinking the same thing because you both leaned in and kissed each other.

Two-Bit: Ah! Gross!

Darry: I can't believe they have the never to do that on my couch!

Soda: GO STEVE!

Pony: More like GO Y/N!

You and Steve chuckled. You snuggled into his huge biceps and then into his chest. He began stroking your hair.

Steve: So I guess this means you're my girl.

Y/n: I'm not complaining if that means yes.
