Attention - Ponyboy

A meme from my roots as a theatre kid 😌😌😌

"Y/n, can you please lay off?"

"Nope." You replied, sprawled across ponyboy's lap. He'd been reading all afternoon when he promised you would hang out today.

"Pony, it's such a beautiful day out! Why don't we go to the park or something."

"Oh, sure,"

You sat up, hopeful.

"After I finish this chapter."

You sat back down and groaned. You decided you would bother Ponyboy at any and all means until he would spend time with you.

"I can't believe my boyfriend's a nerd."

"Aw, love you too." He said as he turned a page. You stood up from his lap and made your way over to the record player, skimming through songs. You pick up a random vinyl and start spinning it, dancing and singing horribly along to it. Ponyboy glances up at me a few times but never fully puts his eyes on me.

"Can you stop being a pain please?"

"That's uncalled for, you're the one ignoring me."

"Yeah, there's a reason."

You marched over to the record player and pulled the needle off. You plopped back down on the couch and sighed. What else could you do to get his attention...

Swiftly, you grab the book from Ponyboy's reach and stand up, irritating him beyond belief. You hold it as high up as you can, making him reach for it.

"Y/n!"

"If you want it back you're gonna have to kiss me." You smirked.

"Y/n just give me the book."

"Give me a kiss then."

He smirked back at you and pulled you in for a soft kiss that heated up very fast. Before you could go any further, he pulled back and swiped the book from your hands, sitting back down on the couch. You followed suit, playing with the end of your skirt as you both sat in silence. This went on for another painfully slow two minutes before ponyboy finally said,

"You know, this book isn't all that interesting anyways. Why don't we go for a walk before soda comes home?"

Smiling, you replied, "ok."

You had always had that affect on Ponyboy. He couldn't be upset with you or around you. He always wanted you with him, but he was afraid he'd come off too strong and scare you away, so when he saw how comfortable you were being affectionate with him, he took note and slowly became affectionate as well. He wanted you to feel appreciated and loved, because that's how he felt about you. He adores you.

You headed towards the door as ponyboy grabbed a jacket and a blade (just in case). You got impatient waiting for him and ran out the door, yelling "Race you!" as you did so. Because you're both competitive as hell, he smirked and chased after you, catching up to you not long after you slowed down.

"You're like a little kid." He said, panting.

"Well, it got you outside. Look at how beautiful it is!" You replied, running ahead of him again and spinning around.

He truly had never seen something more beautiful. He loved seeing you get so excited about the smallest things.

"Yeah, yeah. C'mon, let's walk."

He grabbed your hand and you swung it too and fro as you both talked and took in the spring scenery. Ponyboy stopped in his tracks and faced you.

"I'm sorry I was acting like a jerk earlier, I honestly don't know what got into me. You sure as hell don't deserve to be treated like that."

"Aw pone, it's ok. I was having fun bothering you anyways. Don't let it eat ya up too bad." You said standing on your tip toes to kiss his cheek

"Hey, you missed."

"Missed what?"

He didn't answer with words, but instead he gently pulled you closer to him by your waist and kissed you on the lips again romantically. You wrapped your arms around his neck and let him kiss you until your knees buckled. He chuckled against your lips and pulled away, leaning his forehead against yours.

"I love you, y/n."

"I love you too."
