The Outsiders Imagines, Preferences and One Shots

Ponyboy Mini Imagine #15

this one's for Olivia, ponyboys_gf! :) Sorry for the long wait!

You got to the creek and fall in love.

Her brown hair blew in wind as she ran towards the water. She stopped right in front of it, staring down.

"I don't have a swimsuit," she admitted. I did, but I wasn't exactly planning on swimming. I just liked to look at the water. See the waves as the breeze hits it, hear the currents move. Olivia decided she wanted to come too, so we went together.

"I do," I told her. "And I brought towels for both of us." She stared into the creeks water. I could only imagine the expression in her gorgeous brown eyes. I could just begin to picture how the water reflected him. Her smile got wide as she took my hand.

"Let's jump in." She was always getting crazy ideas like this, wanting to get her hands dirty as often as she possibly could. I loved seeing her like this, so determined to do something. She had a cute, crazy look in her eyes like she really had to do it.

"Okay," I decided. I threw off my shirt, and then holding her hand, the two of us jumped. We created a big splash, and both came up soaked. My hands, both of them, immediately went to my hair. The grease had come out, and my bangs were hanging low on my face. Olivia giggled.

"I know it looks lousy, be quiet," I said, laughing. I knew I looked funny, and didn't really care that she was laughing at me. I tried to smooth it back, but it wasn't working. Olivia moved my hands and tried to do it herself. I blushed.

"Well, I guess your hair's just gonna have to stay stupid," she joked. I splashed her. She did it back, laughing lightly. I retaliated, throwing as much water as I possible could towards her face.

"You're going down, Curtis," she said, getting me so hard I fell over. That's when I got an idea. I dove underwater. And stayed there as long as I could, letting the cool water soak my skin. It was cold down here, and my chest was starting to hurt. I could hear her yelling my name, so I dove back up. I was down there for probably a minute and a half, I hadn't meant to for that long. Olivia looked upset.

"Ponyboy!" she yelled, engulfing me in her arms. I chuckled once I caught my breath.

"You did that on purpose!" She exclaimed. I nodded. I sure did...

"Don't you ever scare me like that again, Ponyboy," she said. And then quieter, "I thought you drowned." I frowned.

"I'm sorry, Olivia." She hadn't let me go yet. "Are you okay?" She nodded, squeezing me one more time. I really did feel bad.

"It's okay," she mumbled, looking down. I tilted her chin up, taking a risk. She looked in my eyes for a second, and then we both leaned in. Our lips lingered close for a moment, and then we kissed.

"Wow," she muttered. I was really in love with this girl.
