The Outsiders - Imagines

Neighbours ~ Two-Bit Matthews x Reader

(This plays around when Two-Bit is 24, and Y/N is 22) (It also plays in whatever city / town you choose)

It's been about half a year since I moved out from home. It was hard, though. I had the money saved up, so that was not the problem, but it rather was...I guess the fact that I was very hesitant to get to know my neighbours. In the first three months, though, I did get to know my direct neighbours on the same floor, a lovely older couple. And a floor up lived a girl a year older than me, and I hang out with her whenever I have time. Whenever we have time, to be exact. We happen to both work at the same diner, but she had morning shifts, whilst I had evening shifts. And such an evening shift had just ended.

On my way home, I stopped at the corner store, echanging a bit og small talk with the new cashier. I didn't get much, just some soup and little what not's.

As I walked into the building and up the stairs, a  tall dark shadow hovered over me, and just as I wanted to move to the side to let them through, they shoved me to the side, basically running up the stairs. I continued walking, but my heart stopped beating for a second. They wore a leather jacket, eerily similar to...Two-Bit's?

,,Weird...''

I didn't think anything about it, and a bit later, I was sitting outside on the fire ladder in front of my window. That was the best perk of it: I can just walk / go through my window, and have a nice space to chill.

I was about to go back in, when I heard somebody singing some random Beatles song, which led to me investigating where it came from, quickly finding out, it came from the flat under me, so I walked down the fire ladder, peering into the window to see...Two-Bit? Wait, that can't be! How have I never seen him before, if he lived here?

,,Y/N? Y/N, is that you? Oh my god, what are you doing here!?''

Two-Bit walked up to the window, opening it. I smiled at him, he smiled back, and we embraced each other in a hugs.

,,Man, since when do you live here? I've never seen you before!'' ,,I could say the same about you!''

He let me in and I sat down on his couch, when I spotted his leather jacket in front of me, taking it. Oh, those days...

,,So, it was you who shoved themselves by me...You did scare me for a second...But...Since when do you live here?''

,,Five months, doll, five long months...''

Two-Bit sat beside me, wanting to grab the jacket out of my hand, but ended up not doing it.

It seemed, as if he wanted to say something, opening and closing his mouth over and over. I tried to say something, too, but I would risk exposing my crush to him, Not, that I didn't want to, it's just...I can't get myself to it. Not yet. And that's what I tell myself everyday.

,,How's the gang? Is there still such a big rivalry between Socs and Greasers? I shouldn't have left, or was it a good idea anyways? But...How are you?'' 

,,The rivalry hasn't really changed, but they're way more respectful now, and there's less rumbles, as far as I know. The gang's doing good! Darry's still roofing houses, Soda and Steve still work at the DX, now with Dallas as a new employee, and Ponyboy and Johnny are going to the Community College, you know? And I got a job as a hockey coach, I'm gonna start next month!''

,,That's great, that's really great...God, I missed the gang so much...I missed you so much...I missed us so much...''

I felt like such a bad person, leaving everything behind. I told the gang, especially Two-Bit, that I would call when every now and then, and that they could come by anytime. Did I give them my number or my address? No, and I forgot it again and again.

,,Hey doll, don't get lost in your thoughts, I gotta tell you something.''

,,Hm?''

,,Why don't we try us again?''

Taking my hand in his, Two-Bit leaned forward, cupping my cheek. A smile formed itself on my lips, and the next second, he was kissing me softly. That kiss brought back so many memories, it was like a flood of happiness. I didn't pull away, no, I went further along with it. His hands travelled down to my waist, pulling me closer. I pushed him back onto the couch, laying on him. Neither of us broke the kiss, and it got heated pretty quickly. One of his hands made it's way under my shirt, trailing over my back. It sent shivers down my spine, but I needed to hum at the good feeling. Suddenly, Two-Bit pulled away, sitting up a bit.

,,Why did you stop?''

,,I never heard you hum like that before!''

,,Well, I liked it, so...Put two and two together, I guess, haha.''

,,I know something better: How about putting one and one together? You and me, hm?''

,,I can't say no to that!''

Both of us smiled, and for the rest of the night, we laid there, talking about the past months, and, of course, making out as if there's no tomorrow:)

A/N: This was originally supposed to be Dallas instead of Two-Bit, but I thought, it'd fit with Two-Bit, too:)
