Stay Gold(PonyBoy x Reader)

Chapter 18

I sat up and walked to the kitchen. I held a glass under the faucet, allowing water to fill the cup. I drank half of it and put it on the counter. I felt hands wrap around me from behind and a head rest on my shoulder.
"We should go out together." Ponyboy whispered in my ear as I turned around. I placed my hands on his biceps and I was pushed to the counter.

"Hm? Such as?" I gently placed my lips on his, and slowly pulled away.

"There's a diner a few blocks away. A few socs go there, but mostly greasers. Its not the best, but its something" he shrugged

"Are we gonna get jumped?" I gave him a worried expression.

"I'll have some of the gang with us, just at separate tables." He smiled and kissed my head.

"Sounds like a date." I wiggled out of his grasp and smirked, turning on the radio.
I walked over to him and held his hands, dragging him to the living room. He twirled me and we continued dancing. At the end, we ended up in each others arms. I sealed the gap with a gentle but sweet kiss. I pulled away and turned off the radio.

"Just because were greasers don't mean we can't be romantic." I pecked him on the cheek and went to the kitchen and gathered the dirty plates. I ran the water and started doing the dishes.

"Y/n?"

"Yes?"

"Do you ever get tired of this?"

"Of what?"

"Bein' a greaser."

"Sometimes, but I quite enjoy it. If we weren't greasers we wouldn't be together."

"But still"

"I mean, it would be nice to be rich, drive tuff cars, and have a good rep. But, it is what it is." I turned the water off and began drying the dishes with the cloth. I finished up and began making some chocolate cake.

"Its just, even if we don't do anything bad, were the ones to blame." He sat on the counter, watching me crack the eggs into the dry ingredients.

"Well, Pony, it is what it is. Some greasers are like Dallas, others are like you and Johnnycake. No matter what we are, it'll be the same." I began mixing. I poured the mix into a pan and stuck it in the oven.

"Its no fair." He said and I nodded. I sprung up on the empty space next to him. I grabbed his head and played with his fingers. I laid my head on his shoulder.

"Nothings fair."
