Hearts and Halos // Chapter Nine

// Day Two //

// Ponyboy's Point Of View //

Johnny and I carefully walk home from school, making sure no one from the gang was around to see him. The first day was easy but I knew every day after that was gonna be rough, getting Johnny around everywhere that is.

I carefully open the door to the house slightly, seeing Two-Bit and Steve sitting on the couch and floor, eating cake. Johnny sighs and pushes up his glasses, they had real lenses​ so no one would notice the difference.

"What are we gonna do now," Johnny whispers.

"Just... I'm gonna stall them and you go run to my room. Make sure they don't see you" I whisper back.

I walk in and Johnny steps in after me, him staying hidden behind me. Slowly, I close the door trying to make as little noise as possible but the door creaked.

"Shit," I mumble.

Steve's and Two-Bit's head turn to face is and they look at me oddly before turning back to the television. Sighing softly, I just take my binder and throw it across the room, hearing a bang when it hits the wall.

"What the hell Ponyboy," Steve screams.

"U-uh... I have something to say," I reply hesitantly.

While there attention was on me, Johnny sprints off to the bedroom and I go and pick up my binder. They had wide eyes and they looked baffled.

"What do you need to say," Two-Bit asks.

"Uh! Diversion," I scream running off to my room.

I close the door behind me and turn to see Johnny sitting in the bed, his glasses still on. I grin and sit next to him, my heart pounding in my chest.

"You can take them glasses off now," I tell him.

"Nah, they actually hell me see better. I ain't ever had my eyes checked so I knew they'd be bad. Now I have glasses and I can see great," he says with a smile.

"That's good Johnnycake, I'm glad... I like you in glasses, it's really cute," I mutter.

"How is it cute," he asks.

"Well, it frames those puppy eyes of yours and it makes them look bigger. You just look cute in general," I explain.

*Aw, thanks Pone. I think your real cute too," he says leaning his head on my shoulder.

I smile and wrap an arm around his waist, pulling him closer to me and kiss his forehead lightly. He blushes lightly and giggles quietly.

"I love you Johnnycake," I whisper.

"I love you too Ponyboy."
