(baby) is it fine?

johnny and ponyboy sat next to each other on the bathroom floor, sharing their cigarette since it was the first and last one they could get at this party they were at. ponyboy rested his head on johnny's shoulder and looked up at him.

"not a big ol' partygoer, huh, johnnycake?" ponyboy teased as he reached for the cigarette bud from in between johnny's lips.

"not really.. don't like those crowds with all 'em preppy people." johnny mumbled, letting ponyboy take the cigarette.

there was a huge bang out of nowhere coming from outside the door, it nearly made ponyboy drop the cigarette.

"hello? why's the door locked, i have to pee!" a female voice yelled.

"can't ya just find a different bathroom? this one's occupied right now!" ponyboy yelled back, his cigarette nearly falling out of the opening between his lips. johnny held in his laugh.

the boys waited for a response from the girl outside and there was nothing. they assumed that she had left. suddenly, they both started coughing.

"shit- could you open that window up there, pony? the smoke's gettin' into both of our lungs.." johnny spoke between his coughs.

ponyboy fanned away the smoke from his mouth to avoid inhaling it even more and reached up to slide the unlocked window to the left to allow air to come in. once he inhaled the fresh air, he went back to sit on the floor beside johnny.

he noticed that he had finished the cigarette and showed johnny with a guilty smile.

"sorry, johnnycake.. damnit, now where can it put it out?" ponyboy apologized quickly and hopped up to put it in the sink, running water on it. ponyboy finally sat down for the last time.

"well, there goes our last cancer stick," johnny mumbles, not in a mean way. "what's there to do now?"

ponyboy shrugs. he hears the music from outside and scoots to the bathroom door, trying to recall the song.

"johnny!" he exclaimed as he finally recognized it.

"yeah, pony?" johnny's eyes lit up like ponyboy's did.

"they're playin' my favorite song right now!" ponyboy smiled very hard that his face started hurting.

"each night i ask the stars up above, why must i be a teenager in love~?" ponyboy serenaded, holding his fist near his mouth as if he sang into a microphone.

johnny scoffed with a smile on his face. "what a dork.." he watched as ponyboy's face had an offended look on it before he returned to his singing. the song ended soon enough and ponyboy stopped singing along with it.

"glory, pony! i didn't know you had a voice like that!" johnny smiled and reached over to gently pinch his cheek.

"been listenin' to the radio a lot lately.. 'course i'm gonna be good." ponyboy shrugged.

"who said i meant it was good?" johnny teased and ponyboy rolled his eyes. "nah, 'm just kiddin'." he smirked and ran his fingers through ponyboy's hair. it surprisingly wasn't all greased up today.

"where'd the grease go?" johnny raised an eyebrow.

"oh, uh.." ponyboy trails off as he stares at johnny. "i.. i think i mighta taken it out.. just 'cuz i know you like to play with it a lil' bit." the boy shyly says, rubbing his arms as a light pink tint spread across his cheeks.

"aw, shucks, pony.." johnny smiled shyly with the other. "no need to give up your prized possession to me.."

"nah, it's no big deal, johnnycake," ponyboy spoke a little more quietly than before.
