The Outsiders Imagines

~Ponyboy Curtis~ [01]

*PONYBOY'S POV*

It was a real bright day. Johnny and I decided to go to the park. I laid down on the spiky grass. Johnny just sat against a tree.

We didn't talk for a few minutes then I asked the random question that has been bugging me for weeks. "Should I tell Y/n I love her?"

I felt a warming breeze hit my face.

"You shoulda months ago. You've been goin out for 6," He laughed.

"I just didn't wanna rush into things."

He continued laughing like I had told him a hilarious joke.

"You waited until you guys had been dating for 3 months to have your first kiss with her!"

"The more time I spend with her the crazy I become."

"Just tell her. She's been with you for 6 months without saying 'I love you'." He was right even though I didn't want to admit it. "Just tell her you love her! it's been 6 months-"

*JOHNNY'S POV*

My voice trailed off because I saw Y/n's face drain from all color.

The gang says I look like I've seen a ghost when I get scared, now I know what they mean.

"What do I say, "I love you"? Or-"

*PONYBOY'S POV*

Johnny's voice had trailed off I didn't know why. So I continued talking.

I hadn't thought much of it. Until I heard Y/n speak up.

"You what?"

I sat up.

"I-i think it's better I leave."

"Yea bye." Johnny scurried out of sight, "I uh I love you. I have for a while but I didn't know if it was too soon. If you're not ready to say it. I understand."

Honestly it would crush me if she didn't say it back. I didn't want to pressure her.

*YOUR POV*

I thought I'd lost my mind. Like I was hearing stuff that really wasn't there.

"You uh you love me?" He nodded.

"Very much. But you don't have to say it ba-"

I wrapped my arms around his neck.

"I love you too. Terribly, I love you."

He understood what I meant by "terribly". He and I liked using words like "awfully" or "horribly" for good things. It confused the gang when we said "horribly good" they couldn't understand it. Even Soda who tried to understand everything. I felt a hot tear roll down my cheek, "I love you."

A/n: this is my shortest Imagine. Idk how I managed to not hate it and still keep it under 500 words.
