Flowers & Cigarettes: Outsiders One-Shots

I Think He Knows (Two-Bit)

The night was alive with the hum of the city, and Two-Bit Matthews found himself drawn to the vibrant energy of the downtown streets. Neon signs cast colorful reflections on the pavement as he strolled, his hands tucked casually in his pockets. It was a night for spontaneity, for letting go of worries and embracing the thrill of the moment.
As he turned a corner, Two-Bit's attention was caught by a figure leaning against a brick wall, her dark hair catching the streetlight in an ethereal glow. It was Lola, a girl he had met briefly at a party weeks ago but hadn't seen since. She looked lost in thought, her eyes focused on the stars above.Two-Bit approached with a casual swagger, a grin spreading across his face. "Well, if it ain't the mysterious beauty from that wild party."Lola looked up, a smile playing on her lips as she recognized Two-Bit. "Hey there, troublemaker. Fancy meeting you here."Two-Bit leaned against the wall beside her, the city sounds fading into the background as they started chatting. They exchanged stories of their adventures since they last met, laughing at shared jokes and discovering common interests."You know," Lola said with a mischievous glint in her eyes, "there's something about the night that makes everything feel... alive."Two-Bit nodded, the streetlight casting shadows on his face. "Yeah, it's like the city has its own heartbeat, and we're just along for the ride."Their conversation meandered from topic to topic, weaving through dreams and aspirations, past experiences, and future hopes. Two-Bit found himself drawn to Lola's easygoing nature and sharp wit, and he couldn't help but admire the spark in her eyes when she talked about the things she loved.As the night progressed, they found themselves in a quiet alley, away from the hustle and bustle of the main streets. The air was filled with a sense of intimacy, the kind that only comes in the stillness of the night.Lola turned to Two-Bit, her gaze searching his. "You know, I think we're both looking for something tonight."Two-Bit raised an eyebrow, intrigued by her words. "Oh? And what might that be?"Lola took a step closer, the warmth of her presence sending a shiver down Two-Bit's spine. "Adventure, excitement, a little bit of chaos. Maybe even a kiss under the stars."Two-Bit's heart skipped a beat at her boldness, a smirk playing on his lips. "Well, darlin', you're speaking my language."With that, Two-Bit closed the distance between them, his lips meeting Lola's in a kiss that ignited a fire within them both. It was a kiss filled with unspoken desires and the thrill of the unknown.Their hands found each other's as they leaned into the kiss, lost in the moment. The world around them faded into insignificance as they explored the electric connection between them, each heartbeat syncing to the rhythm of the other.When they finally pulled away, breathless and exhilarated, Two-Bit looked into Lola's eyes and saw a kindred spirit, someone who understood the craving for excitement and the joy of living life to the fullest."Looks like we found what we were looking for," Lola whispered, her voice tinged with a hint of mischief.Two-Bit grinned, a glint of adventure in his eyes. "And there's plenty more where that came from. Care to join me for the rest of the night?"Lola's smile widened, her hand finding Two-Bit's. "I thought you'd never ask."
