A/N: Okay, so you guys seemed to like the last chapter, sorry if it was too short. I'm liking where this story is going, and it's my first fanfic, so I guess I'm doing pretty well so far. If it seems like the story isn't getting anywhere, or Johnny is a little OOC, please tell me. I want the story to keep going, so I'm trying to get Johnny to make some moves on Nick, but I still want him to be the sweet shy puppy he is. So I'm trying.

I do not own The Outsiders.

Enjoy!

Chapter Six: (Johnny POV)

I woke up with someone's head lying on my lap. It was Nick. I had fallen asleep sitting up, leaning against Ponyboy's kitchen counter.

For some reason it didn't really register that Nick was laying on my lap until I saw Dallas glaring at me. He was sitting on the couch, and looking in at us. Boy, I sure hope he wasn't mad at me. I decided I should probably wake up Nick, who was lying on my lap. Nick. It was a little hard to believe, but I shrugged it off.

She sure looked pretty. I brushed her hair away from her face, and nudged her gently.

"Nick, wake up. Nick," I said gently.

She groaned and got up, stretching.

"Hi, Johnny," she said. She seemed to realize where she slept last night and blushed. Finally, it wasn't me blushing for once, it was someone else. She sure looked cute when she blushed.

She looked over at Dallas, the only one awake besides us, and he glared at her. That made me a little angry; Nick never did anything to him. I decided to go talk to him. I hope he doesn't get too angry with me.

Dallas POV:

Stupid broad, I thought. She's gonna make Johnny fall for her, then break his heart.

I don't see what Johnny sees in her, she ain't even that pretty. Well, I guess she's a little nice-lookin', but still.

And it pisses me off when that's all Johnny can talk about. Sure, I know he must have a crush on her. But obsessin' over her ain't gonna get him nowhere. She's just any old broad you can find walkin' down the street.

Johnny came up to me, lookin' all sad. I bet it's that broad's fault.

"What'sa matter, Johnny?" I asked him. I led him outside.

"A-are you…ya know…mad at me, Dallas?" he asked nervously. He stared at his feet and looked down.

"Nah, Johnny. I jus' don't think that broad's any good," I told him.

"Dally, she ain't like all the other girls. She's different," he said, still looking down.

"Whatever, man," I told him. It was makin' me angry that he didn't trust me. "I'm outta here," I said and stormed off. I got all the way to The Dingo when I thought about it.

Well, gee, I hope I didn't hurt Johnny's feelings too bad, I thought. What am I sayin'? The kid worships me. I gotta quit bein' so soft.

Johnny POV:

This is one thing I'm sure Dallas is wrong about. I know Nicole is different. He just can't see that.

I sure hope he ain't mad at me. I went back inside and saw that Ponyboy was awake. He was starin' at Nick funny. Like he…liked her? I dunno, maybe I'll ask him later. That would be just my luck, for me to like a pretty girl like Nick, and her to go with Ponyboy instead. I guess I'd understand though, Pony is better lookin' and smarter. Who am I kiddin', why would she like a guy like me anyways?

I decided to take a walk. These thoughts were too depressing.

A/N: I know it's short, sorry. I have to baby sit today, so I might not get to update again until tomorrow. But maybe I can update tonight.

Anyway, tell me what you think! Did I do Dally's POV okay? Did anyone seem OOC? Review! The more reviews, the faster the updates!

Stay gold, my friends. :)
