Thanks for the reviews:)

Ponyboy's head swam.

"W-what?"

Two-Bit chuckled. "C'mon kid, I think we'd better get ya back to your house. Ya look as white as a ghost."

As Two-Bit helped Ponyboy back to the house, he started thinking.

Was telling Ponyboy a mistake? Surely he couldn't take it back now.

His mind swam. He was walking far away from Ponyboy, who was about two side-walk squares ahead of him.

Ponyboy looked to be in the same deep thought as Two-Bit was.

They finally reached the house, and Ponyboy hurried inside. He left Two-Bit standing in the living room.

"Where ya goin', kid?" Two-Bit asked.

Pony ignored him. He checked the rooms to make sure they were alone; he didn't want anyone overhearing their conversation.

When it was obvious they were alone, Ponyboy went back in the living room.

They stood, staring at each other.

"What?" Two-Bit asked.

"Why are ya messin' with my head like that, Two-Bit?"

Two-Bit just stared at him, puzzled. Messing with his head?

"And don't stand there all dumb-struck either. You know what I mean," Pony said, voice rising. Was he getting mad? Two-Bit didn't remember doing anything to make the kid this upset… "Pretendin' ya like me back. For what? So you could laugh and—"

Two-Bit interrupted him by grabbing his arm, and forcing Pony's lips to his.

Ponyboy stood there stiffly and pushed him back.

Two-Bit was hurt; the kid didn't even kiss him back. What did he do wrong?

On the other hand Two-Bit couldn't help thinking about how soft Pony's lips were. Softer than any blond broad (though Pony's hair was still blond; it still hadn't grown out after the Jay Mountain thing with Johnny), even though he didn't kiss him back.

Two-Bit just looked at the younger boy.

Pony grinned at him mischievously, and pushed Two-Bit down on the couch, with himself on top.

And they kissed.

In a way, it was their first kiss. Well, it was Ponyboy's first, and Two-Bit's first kissing a guy.

Ponyboy kissed him shyly, not exactly knowing what to do, so Two-Bit led the kiss, cupping Pony's cheek.

Ponyboy had never experienced anything like this before. Two-Bit tasted like cigarettes, beer, and something Ponyboy couldn't put his finger on.

He loved it.

They pulled away, Ponyboy still in Two-Bit's arms.

"Wow," Ponyboy whispered.

Two-Bit chuckled.

He grinned at Ponyboy.

"So…what does this mean, kid?" Two-Bit asked.

Ponyboy looked at him.

"Well…"

Sorry to end it there. I'm trying to update most of my stories today.
