The red-orange rays of dawn woke Ponyboy up the morning after. He opened his eyes slowly seeing an empty spot beside him in bed. He shivered. Autumn had just arrived. This was Pony's favorite time of year. He loved the crisp air, the multicolored leaves, the thin gloves, and the warm pumpkin pie. He rolled out of bed and put on an army green sweatshirt and dark blue jeans. Went to the bathroom, brushed his teeth, washed his face, and greased his hair.
He walked into the quiet kitchen and found a note on the counter.
'Hey Pony! Dar and I had to leave for work early, didn't even have time for breakfast. But I'll see you later, kid brother. Love, Soda'
Ponyboy smiled and walked into the living room to see another note. It was in Johnny's small, sloppy writing.
'Went to get some breakfast. Johnny.'
Just then, Johnny came through the squeaky door holding a bag.
"Hey, Johnnycakes, where'd ya' get all that food?" Pony helped Johnny with the bags.
"Oh just from Suzie's Bakery on Roy Avenue. I, uh, I didn't know what you wanted so I just got you a Danish…"
"Thanks, Johnny, I really appreciate it,"
Pony sat down on the sofa and Johnny sat across from. He just watched Pony eat.
"What're you doin', Jonny?"
"Nothin', sorry…"

Pony and Johnny lay on their stomachs reading comics in the grass.
"Pony, I'm bored…" Johnny rolled onto his back.
"Wanna go to the forest?" Pony rolled next to him
"Sure,"
Pony crossed his eyed and flicked his tongue out.
"Kay, let's go,"

"Come pet this snake, Johnny!" Ponyboy shouted from within the trees, while stroking the snake
Johnny came trotting near, but flinched at the sight of a big green snake.
"No way man, ya' kiddin'?"
"Hahah, you're such a pussy, Johnny," Pony chuckled and let the snake slither over his arms.
Johnny fumed.
They walked back to the fire.
It was about eight in the evening. The two young boys were sitting around a fire small bonfire they started. Johnny poked the fire. Pony was leaning against a tree with his foot against it smoking a cigarette. He eyed Johnny as Johnny focused on the warm fire. Johnny felt Pony's eyes on him and he blushed. Pony crouched down next to the fire, the flames illuminating his forest green eyes.
"Sure is nice out, huh Johnny?"
"Y-yeah. Sure is…"
"The stars look beautiful…man, I wish I could stay out here all night. Don't you?"
Johnny scooted closer to Pony.
"Mhm,"
"I feel like you're the only that gets me, Johnny Cakes. I mean, Soda's friendly and all, but he doesn't understand me like you do," Pony uttered in a husky voice, staring at Johnny.
"Thanks, Pony. That's a real tuff thing to say,"
They sat and enjoyed the sound of the breeze through loose leaves and the crackling of the crimson fire. Pony had brought a blanket, so he laid it out. He waved Johnny onto it. They both lay down on their backs. Johnny began to shiver.
"Glory, Johnny, why didn't you bring a jacket?"
"Man, I forgot,"
Pony just laughed his sweet laugh and unzipped his purple jacket.
"Here ya' go,"
Johnny wanted to deny the jacket, but he was freezing.
"Thanks Po - oh um, Pony," Johnny tingled at the site of Pony in a sleeveless shirt, arms behind his head. He was smiling lightly, his dimples indented his cheeks.
They were struggling to resist each other. Pony slowly sat up and crawled on top of Pony. He straddled Johnny and looked down at him with cloudy, lust filled eyes. Johnny opened his mouth to speak but he was speechless.
"Shh…be quiet, Johnnycakes,"
Pony leaned down and began to place kisses all over Johnny's neck. Johnny's hands roamed up Pony's shirt feeling all over his smooth back. Pony moaned and moved up to Johnny's lips. Pony began to slowly hump Johnny. He could feel his hard-on rubbing on his.
"Oh…Ponyboy…"
Pony began to unbuckle Johnny's pants. His hair had fallen over his face, his porcelain face flushed to a cherry red, and he bit his peachy lower lip in concentration. Just then, they heard footstep rustling in the forest.
Johnny pushed Pony off of him and Pony wiped his mouth.
"Pony, what the hell are you doing?" the unknown person yelled.
