Two-Bits P.O.V-

Damn it. I ruined it. Ivy was weirded out, I felt awkward. I say the stupidest things at the wrong time.

Luckily the food came and cut off the awkwardness.

"Lets dig in." I said, with a smile .

Ivy nodded "I agree."

I picked up my burger and almost screamed when I saw the tomato. I asked for ketchup, not a tomato. I wanted to tell at the waitress but it wouldn't be a good thing to do in front of Ivy, since I already weirded her out. Ivy quietly ate her food.

I grabbed a napkin and flicked the tomato off my burger.

Bad thing, it landed on the floor. Right when someone was passing by. The slipped and fell.

I almost laughed and held the napkin to my mouth to keep me from wheezing.

I looked over at Ivy who has a mixed up face expression. She had a smirk on her mouth but a genuinely concerned look in her eyes as she stared at the old geezer who fell.

We made eye contact and we both almost started laughing. I chugged my milkshake to keep me from laughing but instead I started choking. I started coughing out loud and Ivy stood up.

"Are you okay"? She asked.

I was still laughing between coughs and held my hand to my mouth as I tried not dying. Ivy smacked my back and kept asking me if I was alright.

Finally I stopped choking but everyone was staring at us.

Ivy quietly sat back down and whispered "So, I guess that's what we get for laughing."

I smiled "At least it was with you. You made it ten times better."

Ivy grinned "Thanks. Keith."

I cringed at the name "I'm not really a Keith kind of guy."

Ivy nodded "Yeah I don't see you as Keith. Two-Bit fits you just fine."

I smiled. She really understood me. I sheepishly drank my milkshake, not wanting to say anything else to mess things up again.

Ivy looked down at my burger "Looks like they messed up your order. Want to trade"?

I stared at her in awe as I looked down at her cheeseburger that looked very appetizing. "Are you sure"? I asked.

Ivy handed it to me "Sharing is caring."

I handed her my burger and she ate it as if it was as good as hers. After we finished the food, we got desert. I ordered a cherry pie and Ivy got a cheesecake.

I gobbled down my pie and when I looked up Ivy had a smirk on her face and she said "You have a little something on your face."

I shrugged, not really caring.

Ivy grabbed a napkin and carefully dabbed at my face.

"why are you doing this" ? I asked, confused.

Ivy took a bite of her cake and said "You dont want crumbs on your face, do you" ?

"No." I said.

Ivy nodded "That's what I thought."

Ivy's P.O.V-

Two-Bit had just finished paying the bill when he walked back at our table.

I followed him "What are you doing"?

Two-Bit grabbed something off the table, then grabbed my hand and ran is out of the diner.

When we exited, I stopped running and jerked my hand out of his.

" What did you take"? I asked.

Two-Bit smiled and showed me a butter knife. "This."

I laughed " Wait why did you take that"?

Two-Bit shoved it into his pocket "If we get attacked, I don't want to waste my precious baby and dull the blade. So why not use a butter knife"?

I shook my head, confused "Come again? Precious baby"?

Two-Bit smirked "Oh I mean this." He took out a stunning switchblade .

I gasped "Damn, that's one good blade."

Two-Bit smiled, proud "It's my pride and glory."

I held the blade and ran my fingers over the handle. "This is in really good condition."

Two-Bit cheered and picked my up "YOU KNOW ABOUT BLADES TOO" !

I shushed him and replied, still in midair "If your in a gang you have got to know your switch blades."

Two-Bit set me down, excitement still in his eyes "I wish Darry knew that. You are a pure genius" !

I held my hands behind my back and nodded, blushing slightly "Thanks. But that doesn't mean I'm a genius. I'm a dropout."

Two-Bit looked at me with admiration as if he were proud "At least you were brave enough to do it. Every one else is to afraid too."

I raised an eyebrow "I like the way you think."

Two-Bit wrapped his arm around me "Are you saying you like me"?

I bit my lip and replied "So the Greasers. Do all of you wear hair grease" ?

Two-Bit looked disappointed when I didn't answer his question but then responded happily "No. Dally doesn't. He's thinks he is to cool for it or something."

I smiled "I have heard many stories about Winston. Are most of them true"?

Two-Bit shrugged "Who knows? He said he has seen bodies. But when Johnny got beat up he looked as if he were sick."

I made a sick face "It was pretty bad what those SOCS did to him. His poor face got all cut up."

Two-Bit looked at me in shock "You know about that"?

I smiled "Sure I do. Dally, Tim and a couple of other guys from our gang went after the SOCS that night. Dally never told you" ?

Two-Bit shook his head "No. I guess he didn't want us fighting the SOCS since we were pretty upset."

I walked over to my car "Wanna drive" ?

Two-Bit smiled "Hell yeah"!

When we arrived to my house, Two-Bit walked me to the door.

" So you going to Curly's memorial"? He asked.

I nodded "Yeah, how about you"?

Two-Bit smiled in delight "Yeah. Darrys making the gang go."

I set my hand on my door handle "Ok well I will see you then."

Two-Bit waved "Alright."
