The Curtis house was quiet once more. Darry was at work, Soda was too.

Ponyboy was out at a friend's house after school, again, leaving Johnny home by himself. Of course Johnny was sad about this but he couldn't make Ponyboy come home just because he wanted a hug.

The 17 year old boy stands at the sink, doing dishes slowly. He keeps looking out of the window, seeing if Ponyboy was walking home.

Every time he looked, the boy only got sadder and sadder. He wanted his lover to come back and help him like he usually does.

"Stop being so pathetic Johnny," Johnny murmurs to himself. "He's probably just doing a project..."

Johnny was scared that Ponyboy was kissing on another boy or girl. He would be crushed if he found out Ponyboy was cheating.

Well... It wasn't cheating since they weren't technically together. That's what scared him.

What if Ponyboy was just using him? What if Ponyboy didn't even care about him?

Just then, the door opens. The 17 year old tries his best to keep his eyes on the dishes, scared it would be Ponyboy.

"Johnny I'm home," Ponyboy yells. "Where are you?"

Johnny keeps his mouth shut and continues to do the dishes quietly. The younger boy walks into the kitchen and smiles.

He wraps his arms around Johnny's waist from behind. Johnny's face goes red but he still didn't talk.

"What's the matter with you," Ponyboy asks softly. "Where's my happy boy?"

Johnny frowns and finishes up dishes, wiggling out of Pony's grasp. The younger boy's smile fades.

"Johnny? What's wrong," Ponyboy asks. "Did I do something?"

Johnny looks at him with sad eyes. Ponyboy frowns more.

"You usually come right home after school to talk to me but you don't do that anymore,"Johnny says, his voice cracking. "You stay somewhere else for a few hours and then come back here right as your brothers come home."

Johnny starts crying and wipes his eyes. He feels so hurt by the fact Ponyboy didn't talk to him as much anymore.

"There's a good reason for that Johnny," Ponyboy says. "I was with Cherry doi-."

"I knew you didn't care about me," Johnny wails, cutting him off. "I knew you'd be off kissing some other person. I don't care what your brother said about you being in love."

Johnny balls his hands up in frustration. Ponyboy looks at him and takes a step closer.

"Johnny, I wasn-."

"I don't wanna hear it Ponyboy," Johnny wails.

Ponyboy sighs softly. He knew Johnny wasn't going to listen now.

The younger boy pulls Johnny into a passionate kiss, holding his hips softly. Johnny stops squirming and stills.

Johnny shyly presses his lips back against Ponyboy's, forgetting that he was angry. The younger boy pulls away and looks at him.

"I was with Cherry asking her tips about how to ask you to be my boyfriend," Ponyboy explains softly. "I would never kiss anyone else Johnny... No one but you."

Johnny leans into him shyly and wraps his arms around Ponyboy's neck. He murmurs a soft 'sorry' into his ear and sighs.

"It's okay hun... But... Will you be my boyfriend?"

"Yes..."

The door opens.
