He's My Gold - Johnny x Ponyboy

The Controversy

Ponyboy's POV

Dal was here and a total distraction. If Johnny and I were left by ourselves in the silence, I wouldn't know how to start another conversation. It would be completely embarrassing too after the last, and I didn't wanna make anything awkward. Unlike when we were in the church. All we could do is talk because we just had so much to rant out.

"So what's going on? What are we talking about?" He says sitting down between Johnny and me? "Nothing much, just taking in the day, I guess," Johnny tells him.

"That's nice, man." He said with noticeable sarcasm. "Well, I best be getting lost then. No offense to you're chilling I just got things to do. I had the urge to ask him what things?, but I kept my trap shut.

"Hey let me know if you guys wanna go to the drive-in later." Dally winked and went on his way.

I couldn't help but scoff at what he said and roll my eyes. Johnny shoots me a look immediately afterward and looks perplexed. "What was that for?" He says slightly tilting his head.

"I wouldn't wanna turn down a drive-in opportunity for the sake of it, but... I wouldn't wanna cause any trouble." I sigh towards the last part. "What, Are you saying Dally would cause us trouble?" Johnny said glaring me with lustful eyes.

"Well, I-.." I paused myself. "If you wanted to go into a drive-in, I'd go for the movie of course," I say trying to humbly explain. "So you wouldn't go, wanting to spend time with you're friends?" he asked trying to get as if it was what I was getting at.

"No, I would! But, we can do that anywhere. And as for other people trying to enjoy the movie, We'd be ruining everyone's time. And I'm not just saying this to dump this on Dally.

"...Kinda sounds to me like you are," Johnny whispers as quietly as possible under his breath. "What? No, Johnny! I promise I'd never! It's just-" he quietly scoffed, worrying me. "It's just I know this of him from experience, Johnny!"

His eyes fluttered in annoyance. "Dallas is better than this now for you to be saying this about him Pony. Believe me." I roll my eyes. "Johnny, I know but, this isn't about Dally!" I say as we both get up off the couch in sync. "Clearly.. So what is it than?" He asked calmly.

"Because I'd enjoy the time if we went." He says. "...Fine." I let in. "I'll go with, then," I say unable to resist the calling coming deep inside of the older.

"You see, nothing will go wrong." He smiles. He puts his arm around me as we start walking. "And if it does, we can leave as soon as possible." He assures me.

So it was settled. We'll go.
