Here we go. Yaoi/Slash. Johnny/Peanut.

You've been warned. Chapter 1...

Lola. Lola. Lola.

Precious little Lola.

Lola this. Lola that.

Lola's hair.

Lola's eyes.

It was enough to drive a best friend crazy! But, Larry kept his mouth shut and nodded politely as Johnny sulked and ranted. He knew Johnny was dependant on others, he always had been- but, oh man, did he deny it! In times like this Peanut was happily reminded how if you tilt your head the repeated one-syllable-name sound like his.

Lola could be Larrry.

He tried it out during one of Johnny's rants when the two were down at the beach. The boys had their jackets off, and Johnny was lying on the sand, hands behind his head legs spread, his jeans were rolled up revealing strong legs, and as he paused between words his soft pink lips were slightly parted. All this made Peanut terribly uncomfortable, he sat with his legs crossed to hide the bulge now between them. In order to get his mind off of how Johnny didn't see what was right before him, he pretneded he was the subject of Johnny's rant.

"I swear everytime Larry comes in the room he's all I can see. Larry's got the sexiest little body I've ever seen, you've got no idea what I can do with him. I mean, oh man, and boy- does he ever flaunt it. I'm tellin' ya' without him I'd be the sorriest excuse for a man. And, oh, does his laugh floor me. Its so cute. His eyes- they're gorgeous. Somtimes I think he was a painted masterpeice come to life for me, and.. Oh! Say did you.."

Peanut snapped to when Johnny was looking up at him oddly. "Yeah, Boss?" he asked

"I asked ya' if ya' saw Lola today" Johnny replied "Wha's wrong, Larry? You feelin' alright?"

"Mhm, Boss, never better" Peanut smiled in response

"Good- Larry I'd sure hate to lose you too. But Lola might take me back- did I tell ya' that?" his brown eyes got wide as he asked, the subject was his favorite, apparently Lola was his chemistry partner now and apparently she even told him to do her homework!

"Yeah, Boss, you did and I hope for the best" he smiled at the oblivious idiot

"Thanks, Larry, you're the best friend a guy could ask for!"

Peanut forced a smile, 'I wish I was the best boyfriend you could ask for' he thought in vain, knowing it could never be.

One day however, Johnny didn't come back to the Tennements after school, Peanut figured Lola took him back or was leading him on. They didn't worry until hours later when Lola was spotted exiting the Preppies hangout with all of the damn Preps. So.. if Lola was there...

...where was Johnny?

Larry paniced and set up search-parties to find him. There was no luck- Larry was so scared, the others told him it would be okay- he had no reason to be worrying so much Johnny would come back in his own sweet time- no need to fret. But Panut was fretting- he was terrified! When all the search patry returned to the Tennements empty-handed Peanut struck out on his own.

Peanut, being Johnny's best friend, looked every where Johnny would be- but he wasn't. He looked everywhere Johnny wasn't and there was only one final place the Greaser would be and if he wasn't there he dropped off the face of the earth. Peanut headed for the bike trail, about a mile and a half off of its set course was a rotting old wooden bridge. Johnny had always liked the bridge, and he was there. Except, this time he wasn't on either side or even strutting over the rotting wood.. this time Johnny Vincent was on the edge of the bridge the wind whipping his slicked back hair lazily.

"Johnny!" he gasped covering his mouth with trembling hands, "Get offa' there Johnny!"

The Greaser in question looked up, only one hand and really good balance was keeping him on that rail- both could give without a second's wanring and Johnny would be lost in the current forever. "Don't stop me, Larry, my life ain't nothin' without m'Lola"

Peaut felt tears in his eyes, "But Johnny!"

"No 'buts' Larry.. I can't go on no more."

"Johnny!"

"I said- Larry!" Johnny was tackled around the waist by the smaller boy and thrown onto the wooden planks of the bridge.

Peanut sat on his stomach in tears "You're so stupid!" he hollered

There was a loud slap as a gloved hand met the smooth skin on Johnny Vincent's cheek.
