What If?... (A Johnnyboy Story)

TW: Homophobia, slurs (censored), and violence 😋

I walked back into the house and sighed. Two-Bit was still there, and so was Steve. "Why are you still here?" I raised an eyebrow at Two. He grinned. "Why not?" I rolled my eyes. "Yeah, okay. Fair I guess." He grinned and nodded.

"Tell Soda that I'm not sharing the bed with both him and Steve." Two-Bit nodded. "Alright." I walked into the hallway and into my room. I tossed my shoes to the side of the room and sighed before laying down on the bed.

I rolled off the bed and grabbed pajamas. I changed into them and laid back down. I sighed contently and got underneath the cover. I pulled it over my shoulder and relaxed into the bed. I closed my eyes, hoping to fall asleep.

Right as I was about to fall asleep, I felt the bed go down some. I turned over to see why and saw Soda laying down. "Hey Soda." He smiled and nodded. "Hey Pony." I smiled at him and rolled onto my side to talk to him.

"You're still tired?" He nodded. "Yeah, surprising, huh?" I laughed quietly and nodded. "Yeah, it is. How was dealing with Steve?" He groaned and ran his hand through his hair. "Tiring. Very, very, tiring." I chuckled. "Yeah, I can tell."

He closed his eyes and relaxed into the bed more. I rolled over, assuming he was done talking, but he spoke up again. "How was your day with Johnny?" I rolled back over to look at him. Even though he was half asleep, he was still grinning from ear to ear.

I couldn't help but grin as well. "Good. We talked and stuff." He opened his eyes slightly and looked at me. "Stuff?" I blushed and shook my head repeatedly. "No, no. Not 'stuff' like that. Stuff as in cuddling and hugging." He continued to grin and closed his eyes again. "Mhm."

I sighed. "It's true! Honest." He didn't respond he just rolled over and pulled the blanket up some. I groaned quietly and rolled over as well. I pulled the blanket over my shoulder and went to sleep the best I could.

I heard him chuckle softly. "Goodnight Pony." I smiled and rolled my eyes playfully. "Goodnight Soda. Sleep well."

Once the sun had risen enough to shine in through the window and wake me up, I rolled around some and yawned. I slowly opened my eyes and laid there for a few seconds. Soda was still asleep next me. I yawned and stretched before rolling onto my back.

I looked out the window for a second before closing my eyes again. I pulled the blanket up again and went back to sleep.

When I woke up again, Soda wasn't in bed. I sighed, yawned, and stretched before sitting up. I rubbed my eyes and stood up. I went to the bathroom to fix my hair and use the toilet.

Once done, I walked out to the kitchen. I hummed to myself as I grabbed a pan and a couple eggs. I turned the stove on and cracked the eggs into the pan.

As soon as they were done, I put them onto a plate and grabbed a fork. I walked out to the living room and stood in the doorway eating my eggs.

I saw Two-Bit on the couch. "Why are you still here?" He grinned. "You guys haven't seen me in a while, I need to make up for the lost time, y'know?" He stood up and continued to grin.

I sighed. "Yeah, I guess." He looked at me. He grinned and walked past me going into the kitchen. I looked at him and walked to the couch sighing quietly. I sat down and continued to eat my eggs.

I heard the door open so I looked up. I couldn't help but smile as I saw Johnny walking in. My smile soon faded as he looked at me and saw a bruise forming around his eye. I put my plate down and stood up quickly.

"Johnny? What happened?" I walked over to him and looked at his eye. He shrugged. "I don't know. I just thought that I could stop by my house but my folks were fighting." He smiled awkwardly.
