WILD // Johnnyboy

•Johnny•

Pony and I were walking around town when it started get real windy. I offered him my jacket but he said we were close to his house and we could just get his.

"I'll be right back," Pony said as we stopped in front of his house.  He ran inside and I suddenly heard a loud scream followed by more screaming.

"What the hell?" I mumble flicking out my switch blade. I run inside and go to Pony's room where Pony was shocked... and Steve and Soda were naked in bed! I drop my switch blade and scream. I hear something fall from Darry's room and he comes running.

"What's wrong?!" He asks running in. He sees Steve and Soda then he screams.

"GET OUT!" They yell. Darry runs back to his room, and Pony and I run back outside.

We were shocked at first, and after a few mintues of more walking it didn't seem that bad, that means they're still best friends. Right? But apparently, I guess I was the only one who felt that way.

"How could they? I sleep there too!" Pony conplains. I try my best not to laugh or smile as he continues whining. "I don't have sex in that bed, what the hell?!"

I couldn't help it and giggled a little, Pony shot me a look and raised an eyebrow. "What?" He asks annoyed.

"You're just cute, that's all." I answer grinning. He blushes and looks down.

"Whatever..." He mumbles. I roll my eyes and kiss him on the cheek. "Come on, let's go to the hill," he says sticking his hand out. Before I take it, I take my jacket off and hand it to him. "Johnny-"

"I know you want it," I say, he smiles and takes it and puts it on. "See? Now you're even cuter."

We begin walking to the hill, when suddenly we hear Dallas yelling for us to stop. "Wait! PONYBOY! JOHNNY!"

We stop and turn around to see Dallas running toward us, "You alright Dal?" I ask.

He stops and points back to the Pony's house, "Go back home, you guys need to get out of here,"

"Why? What's wrong?" Pony asks.

"Word got out about you two, someone probably saw you or something, greasers weren't sure but me and Tim covered it. Greasers are gonna do their best to protect you, but word got out to the socs and they are not happy." He says out of breathe.

"What about the deal with Randy?" I ask.

"Randy can't protect you guys now, socs turned on him and jumped him," He answers.

"Oh no! What the hell are we gonna do?!" I yell.

"I'll explain it later, but now we have to get home, come on!"

We begin running back to Pony's house and as we turn the corner we see a socs car from the distance, "Oh shit, TIM!" Dallas yells. 

"We're coming Dallas!" We hear from afar. We stop in front of the house and Dallas points to it. 

"Go inside, I need to talk to Tim, I'll talk to you guys tonight. Do not leave the house. Understand?"

"Yes." We say. Tim and his gang come rounding the corner, but unfortunately the socs' car do too. We run inside and I see Dallas take out his switch blade, Pony closes and locks the door.

I look through the window and see the socs get out of the car and starting a fight with Dallas, and Tim and his gang. Dallas throws the first punch but I suddenly hear heavy breathing, I turn around and Pony bursts out into tears and begins to fall down but I catch him.

"Pony, Pony, it's okay," I whisper sitting him down on the couch.

"They w-want to hurt us, I can't lose you again!" He worries crying more. I pull him into my chest and rub his back.

"You're not gonna lose me. I will never leave your side, I'll always be with you, I promise." I soothe.

Soda and Steve come out of their room and Soda gives me a confused look, "What's wrong?"

"Word got out about me and Pony," I answer.

"And...?" Steve asks.

"Look outside." I answer. Steve and Soda look outside and Steve gets fired up.

"MOTHERFUCKERS!" He yells. He opens the door and runs out with Soda following.

"J-Johnny-"

"Shh, Pony everything is going to be okay," 

I kiss his head and just hold him close. That's all I can do, is be there for him, and never leave him. 

....

I tried, I tried really hard to get Pony to calm down, but he cried himself to sleep, and I couldn't do anything about it. The whole gang for the exception of me, Darry and Pony got hurt. The fight in the front of the house drew more greasers and more Socs as time passed. And I couldn't fight, that's the last thing our gang wanted, especially Pony.

Pony was in bed sleeping, Darry was asleep in his room, Two-Bit and Dallas were sleeping on the floor of the living room, while Steve and Soda took the couch. I was sitting in the chair also sleeping, when suddenly I heard screaming and crying.

I got up and ran to noise, which was no surprise, coming from Pony. I open the door to see him wide-eyed crying and hyperventilating. "Y-you said you w-wouldn't leave me," He says out of breathe. I raise an eyebrow and point to the living.

"I didn't leave, I was in the living room," I argue. But then it hits me, he's not talking to me, he's talking about Dream Johnny. I climb on the bed and take Pony's hands in mine, "Pony what did you dream about?" He stares at me for a long time, and suddenly just hugs me tightly.

"You're here." He says quietly. We lay down and he begins speaking, "We were at school, and people asked if we were gay, you said no, and you walked away. And I kept trying to get to you, but you couldn't even look at me. Then you broke up with me, and you ran away." And by the time he finished speaking he had burst out crying again.

"Pony I would never do that, I love you more than anything or anyone else in the world." 

"I-I know, I just, I can't control my nightmares." 

"Pony, no matter what happens in your dreams just know, I would give up everything to keep you safe, and I love you so much, I'll do anything to be with you. If there's one person in the world I need, it's not Dallas, or my mom or dad, it's you. You're my world." 

He smiles and I kiss him softly, but I suddenly have an idea, I grab his hand and pull him up. "Come on," I say getting out of bed.

"Where're we going?" 

I pull him out of the room and open the front door and take a step outside, the rest of the gang is way too tired to hear me, so now's the time. I clear my throat and yell the loudest I can, "I'M MADLY IN LOVE WITH PONYBOY MICHAEL CURTIS!" Like I said, the gang didn't wake up, they were too tired. I look at Pony and he's smiling and giggling, there's the Pony I'm in love with.

He pulls me back inside and closes the door and pulls me back into the bedroom. "You have lost your mind," Pony says giggling.

"Oh well," I say kissing him. For once, that made me and hopefully Pony feel safe. Out there, we were in danger and can die at any moment, but right now, in this room. I can kiss him as much as I want, he give me and endless supply of love bites, and so on. We're safe, and no one can take this away from us.
