Johnny Cade, a 16 year old boy with a rough home life, moves from Italy to Tulsa. He's a nervous, jumpy guy, and has trouble making friends. Maybe that could change after an encounter with another boy in a gang?

My name's Ponyboy Curtis. I live with my brothers, soda and Darry. I'm just like any other greaser; I keep my hair nice and greasy. Accept, I'm different. I like my best friend, Johnny Cade. (This story has multiple perspectives, this is just one of them) ((These characters aren't mine, they belong to the novel 'The outsiders' by S.E. Hinton.)) This takes place after the novel but with a little twist on the end, Johnny never died which means Dally never died blah blah blah.

In this AU, there are soulmates. They get the heart tattoo, same colours, and same spots. For every other couple, it's a different spot. (Don't ask me how..) Ponyboy Curtis, a shy, nerdy boy meets Johnny Cade - a humble, confident Italian boy. (WARNINGS: smut, angst, cursing, threats, abuse) CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS: JOHNNY - Taller than Ponyboy. (5'10) Brown hair, brown eyes, dark caramel-like skin, a little muscular but not so intensely. He is 18. PONYBOY - Smaller than Johnny. (5'7) Brown-red hair, green eyes, lighter skin than Johnny's. He's slimmer than Johnny. He is 17. For the rest, they are the same the way they are in the movie. (also the book.)

Although Ponyboy and Johnny had their fair share of a "happy ending," it's never too late to ruin something. (AGES - Ponyboy: 17. Johnny: 18. Sodapop: 20. Steve: 21. Darry: 24. Two-bit: 22. Dally: 18.) WARNINGS: character death, abuse, mentions of suicide, angst, underage drinking.

Ponyboy realizes that he has feelings for his best friend, johnny. It went well, until the night someone took things too far. (happy ending is possible!) WARNINGS: vomit, underage drinking, SA, swearing, angst. AGES: johnny: 17. Ponyboy: 16. the rest are the same ages.
