the accidental soul tie

you're my heaven

Johnny's pov:

it's been a few weeks since I was last able to talk to Pony, Bob had been wanting me to hangout with him those weeks and I couldn't find a good excuse why not to. While he walked into class his eyes met mine as I turned away in embarrassment of getting caught starring. He went to say something, but Bob quickly pushed him to the ground so he could get to his seat.

"Ow-" Pony whispered as he got up. I tried to say something but he walked to his seat as Bob made small remarks about how bad greasers were.

I could care less about other greasers, I care about Ponyboy.

I thought as I turned to look back at him, and mouthed the words, "are you okay? " as he nodded I found myself turning a shade of pink.

As the bell rang and it was time for gym class, after dressing out and following the others outside by the football bleachers. I quickly grabbed Ponyboy's hand and pulled him under the bleachers so no one could see us.

"E- Johnny don't scare me like that! " he quickly said as he looked down at out hands still connected.

"I wanted to talk to you, since we haven't been able to meet up. " I said as I realized our hands were still collided as I quickly let go I turned away.

"I just... Missed you I guess. " I said as he giggled and I turned back looking at him.

"I missed you too, but it's only been a few weeks. " he said in a soft tone.

"But it's felt like forever... " I whispered as I starred at his lips, then back at his eyes.

"Hm? Is there something on my lips? " he said softly.

"Huh- no, just zoned out I guess. " I quickly stated as I chuckled nervously.

"Pony can I um.. Ask you something? " I asked as he nodded.

"I like boys... Well a boy, does that bother you? " I asked softly.

"Huh- no Johnny. That doesn't bother me, truth be told I like a boy too." He said in a nervous tone.

"Okay good, I don't want to loose you. " I said hugging him, resting my head on his shoulder.

"Tell me about this boy. " Pony finally said.

"He's different, he has dark brown hair, his eyes are chocolate brown as well, his name is... Something else." I said whispering against his shoulder.

"That's... Nice... " he whispered back
