I really liked my one-shot story The Night Before, The Morning After, so I decided to make an actual story about Sodapop and Ponyboy. They are just so adorable together! So, again:

Warning: Incest and slash. Don't like, don't read.

If you just realize what I just realized,
Then we'd be perfect for each other
and will never find another
Just realized what I just realized
we'd never have to wonder if
we missed out on each other now.

I sat at the edge of my bed, cradling my head in my hands. I tried to force the thoughts of disgust and guilt at the back of my mind, but it wasn't going away easily.

I was startled out of my thoughts by the door creaking open. Looking up, I saw Soda enter the room. When he saw me, his eyebrows furrowed in worry.

"Pony, can I talk to you for a minute?" he asked almost timidly.

I sighed, knowing for a while that he was going to confront me sooner or later. "'Bout what?"

"About the way you've been acting," he said, sitting next to me. My heart leapt when I felt his hand brush lightly over mine. "Pony, was there something I did? Why've you been avoiding me lately?"

I turned my head to see a flash of hurt shoot across his face. I felt a pang of guilt when I saw it. I didn't want to hurt him, but this was what was best for both of us: if I was as far away from him as possible. It was true that I had been avoiding Soda for the past few days, but again, it was for the best.

I didn't say that to his face though. Instead, I said, "It's not anything you do." I stood and walked over to the wall, turning and resting my back against it. Soda kept his eyes locked to mine, and I found myself unable to look away for a moment. After a while, however, I forced myself to glance away.

With a sigh, Soda said, "Pony, it's been days since I've really talked to you. It has to be something I did. Pony, tell me - ." In the process of saying this, Soda had stood up and walked over until he was right in front of me. He moved to grab my hand, but I soon as I felt his skin hit mine, I involuntarily flinched. If Soda noticed, he didn't show it.

"I told you, you didn't do anything," I said, unable to control the unintentional plead that creeped into my voice. If he didn't move away now, I knew I wasn't going to be able to hold myself back any longer. He was too close. Too close...

Soda wouldn't give up. "Pony, what's going on with you?"

My heart was literally soaring through my chest. I silently tried to calm myself down and took a deep breath. "Nothing, Soda. I swear, if it were a problem, I would tell you. I promise." Uh, Ponyboy. News flash: ya just broke that promise.

It was silent for a while. Soda still looked a little suspiscious, but at least he looked somewhat convinced. "Okay," he said, nodding. "Okay."

"Alright," I said, and walked out of the room as fast as I could without running. I escaped the first time, but it didn't mean that I would next time. Soda hadn't given up yet.

Sorry it was so short, but I promise future chapters will be longer. I just could find a good place to end this chapter, so I decided to end it there. Soda's point of view of this whole thing might come in the second chapter. It's going to be switching of between both Ponyboy and Sodapop throughout this story, and there might be a chance of others POV's, but since it's centered between those two, it's going to be mainly their views.

Should I keep it or trash it? Please tell me what you think! Review!
