*******A/N: I'm changing the last sentence in the last chapter from 'a day left of happiness' to 'a week left of happiness' because they can't really get that much closer in a day.
So I hope you don't get confused.
By the way, I got the idea for this chapter from DarryHasAFutureAndI'mInIt.Thanks again for the idea! ;)
But what the boys didn't know was the horrible mess this would get them into, and that they only had a week left of happiness left before everything went wrong.
Chapter Ten: [third person]
It had been about a week since the boys got together, and it had been perfect. The only thing the boys had to be careful of was showing affection; it wasn't always easy for them to keep to themselves.
The whole week was spent sneaking kisses and stolen moments between the two in the lot, or behind the house, or somewhere where no one could see them.
The only problem was the snow. Ponyboy and Johnny felt it was romantic, but it was cold. Outside in the snow was the only way they could get privacy, however, so the boys dealt with the cold.
Today had been one of those days.
The two were out in the lot, holding hands and huddled together. They weren't really in the mood to kiss each other; frozen lips aren't exactly the best for kissing. So they talked and held each other close, each trying to steal body heat from the other.
"J-J-Johnny," Ponyboy's teeth were chattering. "Let's go t-to m-my house," he suggested.
Johnny nodded enthusiastically. He hopped up, surprisingly fast, and pulled Ponyboy up with him.
They began the somewhat long walk to his house, walking about a foot away from eachother. They had spent this whole week narrowly avoiding being caught; they didn't want to risk it again.
They stepped inside the warm house, and Johnny plopped down on the Curtis couch.
"Anyone home?" Ponyboy called. It was silent.
He looked around, and didn't see anyone.
"Darry? Soda?" Once again there was no answer.
Johnny looked up at Ponyboy and took his hand. He pulled the younger boy down on the couch with him, and pulled Pony's face to his.
It started out as a sweet, innocent kiss.
That didn't last long.
Soon they were kissing each other hungrily and touching and feeling and groping.
They hadn't done this before. This is new, Ponyboy thought.
Johnny took control. Despite his quietness and lack of self-confidence, he was a good kisser, Ponyboy noted. Maybe he's done this before, he thought to himself.
He pulled Ponyboy into his lap. The kiss was getting a little out of hand, and Ponyboy was going to stop it soon. But it just felt so good.
Suddenly, the door opened, and in walked Steve.
Shit.
Ponyboy quickly climbed off of Johnny, but it was no use. The damage was done; Steve had seen perfectly what was going on.
"Steve…" Ponyboy started, but the door slammed shut and Steve was gone.
"What are we gonna do?" Ponyboy asked the other boy.
When Johnny gave no answer, Ponyboy realized there was nothing they could do.
Steve would tell the gang, and then everyone would know their secret. Everyone would know about the queers.
Suddenly, a thought occurred. What if his brothers found out? What will they think of him?
And then Ponyboy began to cry.
A/N: Sorry, this wasn't as long as I had originally planned, but my mom is telling me to go to bed.
If you all review, then tomorrow I'll at least make three pages on Microsoft word, probably more. I swear.
Anyway, review with ideas of what you think should happen, I think I'm gonna continue with DHF's idea, but if you have any suggestions, throw 'em out there. It gives me more to work with, so maybe I can combine different ideas and make something awesome.
Anyway, I wanna thank DarryHasAFutureAndI'mInIt , I used part of her idea in this chappie. Plus, she made me feel better :D
Once again, sorry my A/N's have been so long lately.
