Ponyboy x Reader

Chapter 2

Pony called out to Darry before leaving the house. He took Y/N's suggestion, maybe he should start taking walks. The brunette already finished his homework and had his ruined chuck Taylor's on as he made his way on the sidewalks, it was quiet and the air was so clear it sparkled. Pony was bouncing the red rubber ball to keep him entertained, as he made it to the park.

Y/N was there, climbing the monkey bars with a cancer stick in her mouth. She slipped and kneeled down, rubbing her hands with dirt before trying again in hopes that it would make her hands less dry. She hopped up and continued until she got to the other side.

Pony continued to bounce the ball until he heard movement. He caught the ball and put his focus on the female on the monkey bars, it was Y/N. The male felt a shiver run down his spine in excitement. "Y/N?" Pony called out after he made his way close to her destination.

Heather looked over at Ponyboy and instantly smiled, hopping off of the monkey bars and making her way over to him. "Hiya, Pony." She stomped her cigarette out.

Ponyboy was tempted to smoke, but forced himself not. "Whadda' doin at the park?" The greaser asked before sitting down in a swing, and gently rubbed his white chuck Taylor's in the dirt below the swing.

"I told ya, I come out here pretty often." Y/N shrugged and smiled at him, plopping onto the swing next to his. "Question is, what are you doing here?"

Pony smiled but kept his gaze on the dirt he was rubbing around with the bottom of his shoe. "I was taking a walk, like you suggested but I found you here, so.. I mean, I'd rather hangout with you than walk alone." The sunset made a pretty orange color shine down on his face as he looked at the ground. He wasn't sitting straight but it his nice build was easily noticeable.

You smiled. "Aw shucks, Pony. That means a lot." She looked him up and down. "Ya know, I dunno why you call me fine, have you looked at yourself? You've got a mighty nice build." You stayed out of the blue, only to notice what you just said. Get ahold of yourself Y/N!

Pony paused to the sudden compliment. The tip of his ears turning a bright red and his cheeks dusted a little red. Not knowing how to react, he gave a simple thank you; Before grabbing a cancer stick and lighting it with his own lighter he brought this time.

Y/N laughed softly. "Gee, Pony. There's no need to get so flustered." She gently nudged him. "Not used to compliments are ya?"

Pony hid his flustered face. "Not from girls ya know." He stated only glancing at her once before continuing to move the dirt around. Pony grabbed the cigarette between his two fingers to blow the smoke out into the atmosphere that seemed to be getting heavier and hotter.

Y/N giggled and patted his shoulder. "Oh, Pony, you crack me up." She kicked her legs and started swinging. "So, whatcha wanna do?"

Pony's stomach fell as he felt her hand on his shoulder. He felt like he was overreacting, his face was red and his large ears turned a dark red too. The greaser didn't respond as he only felt himself getting hotter as the seconds passed.

Y/N gave him a sympathetic smile. "You okay? Did I do something wrong?" She tilted her head to the side and watched him as she swung.

Pony shook his head. "Nah, your fine." He looked at her, giving her a warm smile. Not aware of his red face, but only because he wanted to tell Y/N he was okay. The male blew out more smoke he inhaled a few Seconds ago.

"You're still all flustered." Y/N laughed more. "I don't want to embarrass you, I'm just giving you a heads up." She gave him a soft smirk. "Is there somethin ya wanna tell me?"
