-Johnny-
We had to get out of here before Pony got into more trouble, or something worse. I was dragging him across the school field, I was going to surprise him, he seemed like he needed something good. We reached the gas station after a while of him asking questions and me not answering.
"Wait here." I let go of his hands and went inside.
"Johnny what-" I left before I could hear the rest of what he had to say.
I got inside and got Pony and I's favourite sodas, some candies and a pack of cigs. I came out and he was still waiting anxiously. I held the bag of goods behind my back.
"What'd you get?" He came over excitedly.
"You're gonna have to wait!" I teased him.
"Where are we going?!" He could hardly contain himself.
"I told you you have to wait! I'm not saying anything!" I teased again.
He was getting pent up with anticipation, it was cute.
I began walking, he followed me like a dog. It was about a five minute walk to the destination, I made him wait a little farther away.
"Okay, close your eyes and DON'T PEAK!" I established.
He put his hands to his eyes, I walked over to our tree, looking back every little bit to make sure he wasn't peeking.
I pulled a sweater out of my backpack and placed it on the grass, then placing the sodas and candies in a neat order. I put the cigs beside them. I got up and ran over to him.
"Keep them closed." I held his shoulders and walked him over.
He almost tripped a few times, but I caught him. We both laughed.
I raced over to stand in front of my set-up.
"Open." I said beaming.
At first he gasped, then he hugged me, then finally, kissed me. Exactly the reaction I was hoping for. I took his hand yet again as we sat on the sweater. It was nothing fancy, but I really hope this will help his day look a little brighter.
"It's not too corny is it?" I said sort of shy.
"Of course not. It's perfect. Thanks J." He tucked away my bangs and planted a kiss on my forehead. We had gone to this tree many times before and every time felt amazing. It was like our own little place, nowhere near anyone. A safe space. It was practically the only place in town where we could show affection without fearing.
Pony cracked open a soda and drank willingly.
I did the same. He passed me his, and I handed mine over. He took a sip out of mine, making a sour face.
"I never understood how you drink this stuff." He said covering his gagging with laughter.
"Shut up! It's good!" I said snickering.
"No way! It's tastes like grass." He said coughing.
"No you weirdo!" I couldn't stop laughing.
"Cmere and taste it." He said leaning in.
I smirked and followed his lead. He wrapped his hands around the back of my head and slowly kissed me, creating a myriad of butterflies throughout my stomach. He tasted like the soda, sweet, but marginally bitter. It was almost similar to how he always does. Everytime I closed my eyes while kissing him, I could see fireworks, bright colours and the sweetest most savoury things. I could feel the sunlight on my face, it almost didn't feel real. I pulled back to look into his deep brown eyes. He placed his fingertips on my chin, helping my lips find their way back to his.
