It's 5 months after the Windrixville incident, and both Johnny and Ponyboy believe it's not right to be gay. Though, that doesn't exactly stop them from being gay. The real issue is hiding it from the rest of the gang. They both know how they talk about people like them. If Dally turned on Johnny, it'd break him for good, and Darry and Ponyboy's relationship was just starting to heal, so he doesn't want to ruin it. Basically, Johnny and Ponyboy are in a bit of a gay pickle. (Two authors; ponyboy7ever and MaizyDolenz. trigger warnings in first chapter)
