first love

TWO BIT MATTHEWS AND Y/N Y/L/N have been inseparable since the day they first met. the 2 met at age 13 in junior high school, y/n was new to the school and twobit had volunteered to show her around. the 2 greasers had instantly clicked. twobits humor and y/n's snarky comebacks were instantaneously perfect together.

over the next few years the both of them watched each other grow up and blossom. twobit's feelings have kept on growing and he knows deep down that he sees y/n as more than just his best-friend now but- as his first love.

y/n was excited to say the least. her and twobit had always reserved the last saturday of every month to spend the day together, in honor of their friendship that was now going on for about 5 years. this month twobit got to pick the place where they would venture to, and he told y/n to meet him at his house.

y/n rode her bicycle to two's house, he lived only a few blocks down from her and she was grateful for that because she didn't have to drive her car, which she hated to do; twobit constantly reminded y/n of her severe lack of driving skills every time she got behind a wheel. she pulled into two's driveway, parking her bike and made her way to his porch, sitting down on the old swing where her and twobit would sit as kids well into the night. y/n couldn't help but smile as she thought about it.

"y/n!" twobit was walking up the driveway, grocery bags in hand.

"two, what is all that?" y/n asked, taking a bag from his arms as he went to unlock his front door.

"it's for tonight of course!" he smiled wide as he walked into his kitchen. his house was empty, his parents and his kid sister gone for the weekend at his grandparents house a city over.

y/n had told two to go but he insisted on staying because he could never miss a saturday with her. that made her heart flutter and cheeks burn and she didn't know why.

"so what are we gonna do ?"

"movie night? we haven't done one of those in awhile. plus mickey should be on right about now"

he winked playfully. twobit knew that y/n could hardly stand his hour long marathons of watching the cartoon mouse but that was one of the things y/n put up with when hanging out with the hood.

"hmm... how about something from the classic movie channel? they're always playing some good movies on there."

the girl went over to the tv, turning the knob as the tv went through the few select channels twobit had on his old television set. she stopped once she found the channel and flopped down onto the couch. two soon found his way over, snacks and pop in hand as he sat down next to her, offering her a coke bottle.

"oh my gosh look! it's a wonderful life is on twobit!"

"but its not even christmas yet! why are they playing this anyways?"

"who cares? this movie is so good it doesn't even need to be christmas to watch it. now shush and pass the popcorn will ya?"

there was a commerical break playing and two bit had abandoned the snacks onto the coffee table in-front of them. his arm was lazily draped over the couch behind y/n. y/n tried her best not to notice when he would lightly brush against her shoulders but she couldn't help the flush that would appear after every time he did.

y/n let her self relax more and more into the cushions as the movie went on. she felt her eyes wanting to close but kept them open, persistent on seeing the ending even though she knew it by heart.

"you tired?"

"a little, matthews." y/n mumbled, turning to look up at her friend.

"well shoot lean on me if you are y/n, i won't mind" two smiled.

"you sure? i mean you always say i have a big head i don't want to hurt your arm or anything"

y/n laughed out. two broke out into a laugh too which quickly subsided as he brought his arm out around y/n and pulled her in closer.

y/n's cheeks flushed but let her head fall onto twobit's shoulder which was surprisingly more comfortable then she expected.

he smelled like his familiar scent of cigarettes and beer but to y/n, it was a comforting familiar smell that made her feel safe. she felt her lips tug at the corners as she moved her hand to find his.

y/n was even surprised at her bold actions, but something in the moment felt right to her. she felt two-bit tense under her touch as she wrapped her fingers around his.

it wasn't an uncommon thing for the teenagers to do. they held hands all the time. in school, walking around town, during scary films. but at this moment, the touch felt more intense and intimate.

twobit's eyes were on y/n's now. his breathing coming to a slow as he looked down at their hands. why was it so different?

the sound from the television set seemed to lower as they started at each other for a few seconds. it was dark and the light off the tv seemed to fall onto twobit's face illuminating his features.

twobit's hand slowly reached to hold y/n's cheek. he brushed his thumb slowly at her temple in small strokes. y/n let her eyes flutter close and let her head lean farther into his hand.

"i love you"

the words came out slow and hushed from the boys lips. y/n peaked through her eyelashes. the boy looked at her still, his eyes wide awaiting her response. seconds passed and twobit's heart raced. had he ruined everything?

y/n smiled then, moving closer to the greaser and stopping only inches away from him.

"i love you too, keith"

a nervous laugh came from y/n then. twobit smiled wide and pulled y/n in for a kiss; a kiss he had long waited for in their years of adoring friendship.

y/n felt keith's lips on hers and felt herself instantly melt. his hands gripped her waist now, and her hands rested on his shoulders. she couldn't help but giggle against him, his sideburns tickling her face.

"what's so funny?"

he asked, pulling away from her briefly, his face bright with color. y/n kissed his cheek, her hand brushing hair out of his eyes.

"you were tickling me with your side burns," she laughed brushing them simultaneously.

"you know these are totally going out of style right?" she teased.

"oh you're not getting away with that..." twobit pulled the girl into him then, his hands going to her sides where he knew she was the most ticklish.

y/n howled in protest as his fingers danced across her skin. her laughter filled the quite house and after a few moments the greaser let up.

her hands wrapped around him then and she pulled two down onto the couch with her.

she kissed him again, her lips yearning for the warmth of his. y/n's hand ran along his jaw, stopping and resting against his neck. twobit kissed back, his heart pounding.

"oh shoot"

"what's the matter, y/n?" twobit questioned breathlessly, concern filling his face as he looked down at the girl.

"i missed the ending to the movie!"
