Ponyboy POV:

"Are you hungry johnny?" I pulled out a chocolate cake, it was almost half eaten. Mostly likely from Steve or Two-Bit. I put it on the kitchen table. He nodded and walked over grabbing a piece. I sat down at the table next to him. I didn't take a piece.

"Aren't you gonna eat some Pone?" Johnny looked over at me with a mouth full of cake.

"I'm not hungry" I lied, not only to Johnny but to myself too. Johnny shrugged, thinking nothing of it, taking another bite of his cake. I definitely was hungry, but I pushed it back. I wanted to be like the other boys, they're all so skinny and look great in anything. I wish I looked like them. Like soda. He's handsome and skinny. I didn't see that in myself at all. I always felt so guilty when I eat and everytime I looked in the mirror I never liked what I saw. Soda grabbing a piece of cake snapped me out of my thoughts. Soda and Steve were getting ready for work.

"Soda shoes." Steve pointed Soda looked down, noticing he forgot shoes.

"Shoot" He runs off to his room and grabs his
sneakers in his room. They all walked out. I looked over at Johnny, he finished his cake and whipped his hands off. He still had deep dark circles under his eyes.

"Still a little tired?" He slowly nodded.

"Wanna sleep in my bed?" He nodded again. He went into my room and plopped down in bed. I layed next to him. I looked over and he was already asleep. He looked so peaceful. So calm. Out in the lot he never looked like this. I don't care what I have to do, I'm not letting this hit sleep in that lot another day.

Johnny's POV:

I wake up feeling an arm around my waist. I felt my face get hot and butterflies in my stomach. God damn it snap out of Johnny he's your best friend! I looked over to see a ponyboy sleeping with his arm around me. I looked at the clock and noticed it was almost time for Steve and Soda to get home.

"Pst, ponyboy" I slightly shook his hand. He slowly opened his eyes and quickly moved his hand away. Shit.
"Did i- I didn't mean too- ..I'm sorry johnny I didn't mean to..make you uncomfortable" He played with his hands nervously.

"Sh..it's ok ponyboy.." I whispered. He sat up on his bed. Stretching his arms out, I did the same, my back cracking.

Ponboy smiled at me and I felt a slight blush come across my face. What is going on..why do I feel this way. I looked over at his clock. Soda and Steve would be home soon. I got up stretching my arms out again. We went out to the living room. I saw Two-bit on the floor with a whole plate of cake and a beer watching Micky. I sat down on the couch and a ponyboy sat next to me. Soda and Steve burst in giggling their asses off.

"What's so funny?" Ponyboy tilted his head in confusion. Usually this question will be followed up by a story that's gonna last the whole night because they have to say every detail, or laugh too hard to answer. It was rare if you fit a short understandable response.

"We saw a little kid fall on the way back to work!" I looked at ponyboy who was shaking his head

"Childish.." Ponboy looked at time. His face lit up realizing the sun set would be in about 30 minutes, well not really. I just wanted to get some fresh air.

"I'm going out to see the sunset" He nearly dragged me out of the house and up a hill. We both sat down.

"Ponyboy the sun doesn't set till another hour" I look over at him slightly laughing.

"I know..I just wanted to spend time with you." I saw his cheeks gos slightly pink. And I felt my own face heat up. I looked at the sky then back at him. He wants to spend time with me? Alone?

Small time skip to when the sunset starts

The sun sets and the sky turns orange. I looked over at ponyboy, it might have been just me but the sunset made him look like he was glowing. I looked back over at the sunset. The sky was all sorts of colors. He rests his head on my shoulder and looks down at him. He looked up at me with a big smile on his face. Golly he was handsome.. Woah!? Handsome?

"He fellas!" Twobit yells from afar. He looked away from each other praying he didn't see anything. He stumbled up the hill sitting next to me.

"Darry wanted to tell me that you two need to come back" He looked over at the sky. We both stood up, our faces were both slightly red. We walked to ponyboys house and two bit decided to go off to the bucks with Dallas. Me a Ponboy raised to his house, he obviously won. I mean he is on the track team. We made it in his house and I got onto the couch, I felt like I could fall asleep
standing up right now.

"Nigh Pone"

"Night!"
