AN: Alright. Hey guys. Man, I had a day. It wasn't too fun. People've picked up on the fact that a bunch of others are calling me Johnny, and one of my best friends is always calling me Johnnycake, trying to get a rise outta me. It's not worth that. But it didn't end well today. After I split with her, no sooner than I had walked away and she said "see ya, Johnnycake, don't kill anyone" some Soc pushed me sideways out of their way and snapped "get outta the way, you no good JD." I got so fucking mad at them. Ugh. Hate them. A couple of them finally got in trouble today. It was a nice change, but I didn't stop to celebrate the small victory or I woulda gotten in trouble too, and I'm trying to avoid that.
But I'm not a fucking JD! I told Two-Bit, Dally and Pony, and they all had different reactions. Dal just said 'wow' and let it go, moving on. Two-Bit laughed at me, then Pony just blinked and shook her head. Meh. Oh well. Let them think what they want...I'm not fighting with them over it, even though I did snap back a bit after that. I had just woke up from a damn good nap outside before that, so...not a good time to get me in a bad mood.
Anyway, you guys don't care about this crap, I don't think. You're here for the story.
To those who reviewed:
Guest: Glad you like it!
Alternative Self: Glad to hear that! And they are...? Huh...I wasn't aware anyone read them with my stories...good to know...
Enjoy.

The moment that Dally woke up, it was to see Johnny still fast asleep. He gave a soft smile to the boy. It was nice to see that he was so comfortable.
"Well, well. Good morning,"Darry deadpanned. "Tell Johnny when he wakes that he isn't to leave this house until Soda or me is back, alright? Not unless you're with him. We can't have another episode like yesterday."
Dally nodded once tiredly.
Darry headed for the door, but then paused and looked back at Dally. "By the way...I'm glad you're there for him as much as you are. Don't hurt him."
Dally rolled his eyes. "I might be a JD and an asshole, but I'm not going to hurt him."he commented.
"Alright."Darry said, heading out without another word.
Dally ended up going back to sleep, content with the calmness he felt in the situation.
The next time he woke up was to a soft whimper. He blinked his eyes open in confusion to see that only a half hour had passed. He looked at Johnny, who looked pained. Dally's eyes lit in concern and he rubbed Johnny's arm gently, startling the younger boy awake.
"Shh, Johnny.."he said when Johnny yelped slightly in surprise as he woke up. "You're okay, man."
Johnny relaxed when he realized it was only Dally. "Sorry.."he grumbled.
Dally shook his head. "Don't apologize to me. It don't matter, man."
Johnny sighed, pushing himself up as well as he could. Dally shifted so that they could both sit up, but gave up on getting comfortable before he turned and laid across the couch, legs dangling over the side, and laid his head in Johnny's lap.
Johnny smiled down at him.

This was the scene that Sodapop walked in on. "Again. Hello. This is becoming a lovely habit for the two of you, the cute stuff being the first thing to greet people."
Johnny lifted his head from the back of the couch tiredly. "Hey, Soda."he greeted.
"Have the two of you bothered to move to get food?"
Johnny shook his head, letting his head drop again.
Soda shook his head in amusement. "Alrighty then. I'm guessing you two are staying for dinner?"
"Not if you're cooking."Dally said as he pulled himself back fully awake. "I'd rather my food be a normal colour,"
Soda rolled his eyes. "Alright, fine by me. You don't gotta eat here."
Johnny sighed. "I'd have better luck getting more rest in the lot."
"You ain't going to the lot when you can stay here."Sodapop said, suddenly serious.
"I ain't arguing this with you."

When Darry came in, Sodapop was already working on dinner. He threw a look at the kitchen before he looked at the two boys still on his couch. "Have you two moved at all today?"he asked tiredly.
Dally gave a lopsided grin. "Nup."he answered.
"Get off Johnny, I'm sure his legs are asleep from you using them as a pillow."
As soon as Dally was sitting up, Johnny let out a soft groan, rubbing at his legs. "Don't remind me. I was doing good to ignore it."
"Ya shoulda told me to get the hell off ya if it was uncomfortable, Johnnykid."Dally said with a frown.
Johnny shook his head. "Nah, it's fine, man. Don't bug me much."he said.
Dally raised an eyebrow, but let it go. He wasn't about to try arguing with Johnny about this. It wasn't worth it.

Man, I'm tired as hell. Church tonight...with two people who are about as restless as Sodapop is. It was interesting to say the least. One of them found out that I had been called a JD and told me that I was to find them and point them out. I said if I found them, I'd handle it. 'Sides, if they want to see JD, me and the other greasers can show them the meaning of it. They won't like it, either. Oh well? Not my fault. They got themselves into it. But I gotta go, gotta get some sleep. I'm gonna be dead on my feet again tomorrow otherwise.
Any challenges you guys want me to try and fill, let me know, I'd be more than happy to try. And if you want to see any other pairings in this, let me know. It won't me a major point, really, just something to show relationship between the gang, how things work out and stuff. Just...most of it is gonna be related to the whole family type relationship between some of the boys, and I'd love to show the reactions to the different pairings if you guys are interested in telling me which ones you wanna see in this. I'll be writing more stories, more romance-type stuff later on, as a fill to a few challenges someone gave me today for short stories. Probably won't be so short when I'm done with them...if I ever finish.
But yeah, let me know.
Stay Gold.
