Johnnyboy Oneshots I Guess

Stormy night

~Johnny's POV~

Ponyboy is my best friend, hes the one I'm closest to in our gang.

I've known pony since he was a kid. I know everything about him, one thing that sticks out is his particular hatred for storms.

He's never liked loud noises. Not after some of the things he went through with them, and storms have all the loud noises and scary flashing lights.

Well he was gonna hate the weather tonight.

It was raining before now, he typically isn't bothered by that, but when we were walking home from the park with Dally and Two-bit it started picking up.

That's when he started freaking out.

Dally and Two noticed, and they're not complete asshats so they told us to go ahead and go back to Pony's house, they'd catch up in a bit.

Pony immediately starting running back.

God dammit he is fast.

"PONY! Wait up!" I called out to him. Ponyboy was in track so he'd naturally be faster than me. And I suck at running. (She a runner she a track star)

He opened the door and slammed it loudly, running past Darry and Sodapop into their room. 

I finally caught up to the house, walked in and caught my breath.

After a few seconds of fucking suffocation I walked up to the door of soda and pony's room and knocked gently

"Pone? You alright in there?"

"No Johnny I ain't alright." He muttered quietly, almost inaudible through the door.

I opened the door and walked next to him. He covered a blanket over him. I gently moved it out of his face and made eye contact with him.

He looked at me with big eyes, tear-filled. He bit his lip. He was shaking a bit.

I scooted closer and wrapped my arms around him, hugging him. He hugged back after a second. We sat there for a while and I rubbed circles into his back. His breathing slowed and he calmed for a second.

Until the thunder and lightning rolled in.

He yelped loudly, burying  his face in my chest. I heard him starting to cry. Poor Pone...

"Hey hey shh... it'll be alright..." I muttered into his hair, stroking it softly as I rubbed shapes into his back again. 

"Here, want my hoodie?" I said. I'd normally wear a jean jacket but today I decided hoodie. He nodded. I took it off slowly and handed it to him.

He put it on and smiled warmly "thank you..." he said quietly.  He was finally starting to forget about the rain.

"Ponybear why don't we watch a movie or read something?" He got up and got gone with the wind from the shelf and handed it to me.

I scooted him into my lap and we began reading. After a bit I noticed he was dozing off. I laid him down and got up to leave. Then I felt something grab my hand. 

"Stay... please." He said drowsily.

I smiled and laid next to him, hugging him tightly.

He giggled and starting sleeping soundly next to me. I kissed his forehead and laid, also falling asleep myself.

Maybe tonight wasn't so bad after all.
