CHAPTER 8

Johnny got home, and noticed Daniel wasn't home.

Johnny washed up and changed into his pajamas. He sat on the bed, reading, 'To Kill A Mockingbird,' which was a book Ponyboy gave Johnny for his birthday.

Johnny didn't really like books, except Gone With The Wind. Him and Ponyboy used to read it in the church, and when Johnny was in the hospital.

His other favorite book was 'Oliver Twist.' He liked that one a lot.

Sometimes, he really missed Tulsa. He missed his best friends.

Sometimes he didn't though. He always wanted to move to a place where there were plain ordinary people, and he did.

It was destiny that he came here.

"Daniel…why won't you just admit it already?" Ali lectured as Daniel drove her home. "Admit that you have feelings for Johnny. It's just too obvious."

"I asked you if you wanted to go to McDonald's and I offer to pay, and this is what I get? Sheesh."

"Seriously. Admit it."

"No."

"If you admit it, I'll pay for my own cheeseburger."

"No."

"Fucking hell, Daniel. Why won't you just fucking admit it?!" Ali had flames in her eyes.

"Because maybe I'm scared to," Daniel shouted sternly that made Ali's heart freeze.

"Maybe I do have feelings for Johnny, okay? Happy?" He was close to crying. "He probably doesn't even like me back. He likes HER." Tears started streaming down his face. "We kissed last night and it felt... magical. And maybe I do have feelings for him."

Ali's chin was propped up on her right hand. For once, she was serious and solemn. "Why can't you just tell him all of that then?"

"Because he doesn't like me, that's why!"

Ali rolled her eyes. She was ready to slap Daniel across the face. "The only reason he's out with Rosie is because he feels pushed away by you! Daniel, you need to stop being so dense! Johnny really, really likes you. The only reason you two aren't together is because you two are so blind not to notice each other's feelings!" She yelled as they arrived at Ali's mansion. Guess that means no McDonalds, Daniel thought. She climbed out of the car. "Goodnight, Daniel!" She slammed the car door angrily and walked to her door. She turned. "You're so dense! Dense, I tell you! Dense!" She then turned again to continue to make her way to the porch.

"I love you, Ali," Daniel said with a smile.

She stopped then turned and smiled. "I love you too, Daniel."

Johnny was seeking through stations on the radio. He liked the songs they played here, but he missed his own music.

He walked into Mrs. Larusso's bedroom. "Mrs. Larusso, do you have a record player?"

She was reading a book. "Like a cassette player or something?"

"No...like a vinyl record player. You know...'vintage' ones," Johnny tried to explain.

"Oh! I have one in the attic," she said standing up and walking to the attic. "You're one of those people, are ya Johnny?"

Johnny nodded as Mrs. Larusso was in the attic for a few minutes, and climbed back down to set the record player on the side table in the living room. "Records are in the attic, too. I'm going to go to sleep now, okay?"

"Thank you." Johnny went into the attic to get as many records he could find. He blew off the dust and set up the player. He still remembered how to do it.

Soon, it started working as Johnny applauded himself. A slow, romantic song played in fuzzy but decent quality.

Johnny sat in a kitchen stool, listening to the soothing song.

Daniel then walked through the door as Johnny smiled. "Hi."

"Hey. What's with the vintage music player? I gave you a radio."

"This one reminds me of Tulsa," Johnny said as he sighed dreamily.

"It is pretty cool," Daniel said. He really liked this song. Then he bit his lip. "Johnny..."

Johnny looked at him. "Yes?"

Daniel reddened. "Would you..." He looked at the ground. "...would you like to dance with me? Right here...right now?"

Johnny's eyes widened as he blushed. "O...okay."

Johnny got off the stool and stood in front of Daniel. Daniel placed his hands on Johnny's waist gently as Johnny shyly placed his hands on Daniel's shoulders.

Johnny was very stiff. "Just relax," Daniel said with a reassuring smile.

They slowly rocked back and forth to the song, as Johnny was looking into Daniel's eyes. He's so beautiful, they both thought in their heads.

Soon, after gazing into each others eyes and slowly dancing to the music, they slowly leaned in to kiss.

They both closed their eyes as they kissed, even more passionately than before.

Johnny gasped for air as Daniel let his tongue slip inside Johnny's mouth and this time, Johnny didn't pull away.

His tongue slowly danced and played with Johnny's, his hands moving down to his hips as he left a soft kiss on Johnny's scar.

Daniel then pushed Johnny softly against the kitchen counter, his lips moving to his neck and his left hand snaking up his shirt.

Johnny threw his head back, whimpering and gasping.

His hand ran up and down Johnny's torso, leaving kisses and nips on his soft skin.

Johnny sat in the kitchen stool again, wrapping his legs around Daniel as Daniel continued loving his neck, biting hard as Johnny let out a moan—but not too loud so their mom wouldn't wake up.

Daniel moved up as he started to leave kisses on Johnny's ear.

Soon, Daniel could feel something poking at his thigh—Johnny's hardness.

And oh God—did Daniel feel mutual.

They started kissing again, Daniel trying to make things sexy by biting Johnny's lower lip and feeling him up a bit.

"Damn it," Johnny breathed out. Soon the record ended and Daniel just liked the sounds of their kissing and Johnny's cute whimpers and moans.

Soon, Johnny then slowly pulled away.

"D-did I do something wrong?" Daniel asked with a pink tint on his face.

Do I tell him? Johnny thought.

Johnny shook his head. "No. It's okay." Tell him. It's okay. "I just...I just wanted to tell you something."

"Okay..." Daniel said. "Shoot."

It's okay.

Johnny closed his eyes and gulped. "Whenever you're around, I...I feel both nervous and safe at the same time. I picture us in my mind holding hands...or you kissing me on the cheek...or sometimes even us both kissing...but I always knew they were just fantasies. I get jealous of Ali because she's perfect. She's got the perfect boyfriend. Then there's Bobby who stole a kiss from you at the dance, and that's why I was crying. And I did have fun with Rosie last night, but I felt like I was missing something so important...and I'm still feeling unsure of my feelings. I still love her. I still love Epina. But...I love...I love you. And if we do get romantically involved...can we just take it slow?" Johnny looked into his eyes. You did it, Johnny. He told himself. You did it.

Daniel sniffed as he interlocked fingers with Johnny. Hold up, Daniel thought. Johnny just said he loves me. "Of course, Johnny. We can take this at any pace you want. If it's slow or fast...I'll be there with you." He leaned in to kiss Johnny again. "You know, Ali is the one who prompted me to reach my feelings to you."

"Really?"

"Mmhmm. She always said that you and I would be the cutest couple ever. If she found out we did this, she'd be through the roof." Daniel said as Johnny laughed. Maybe Ali wasn't so bad after all.

"Can we keep this a secret for now, though? Just between us? Maybe Ali?" Daniel asked.

Johnny nodded. "I'm just glad my feelings finally reached to you."
