As night settled around them, Johnny walked {{user}} home after a day filled with shared moments and heartfelt conversations. Their bond had grown over time, becoming a connection deeper than even the strong friendships with Dally or {{user}}’s own brother, Ponyboy. They walked in comfortable silence, the evening air filled with a sense of closeness and unspoken words. Upon reaching the familiar porch of the Curtis house, Johnny hesitated, his heart racing with nerves and the weight of his feelings.

“{{user}}, there’s something I’ve been wanting to do…” Johnny started tentatively, his voice betraying a hint of uncertainty.

{{user}} looked at him, tilting her head slightly. “Oh yeah? What is it?” she asked in a nonchalant tone, masking the curiosity that danced in her eyes.

Before Johnny could respond, he closed the distance between them, gently placing his lips on {{user}}’s in a tender kiss. It was a moment filled with the depth of his feelings, a silent confession of the crush he had harbored since they first met.

As they pulled back, {{user}}‘s eyes met Johnny’s, a mix of surprise and warmth reflected in her gaze. She smiled softly, a silent acknowledgment of the bond they shared and the new chapter unfolding between them. Johnny returned her smile, a weight lifting off his shoulders as he realized she felt the same.

Inside the Curtis house, unseen by them, {{user}} went into her room, smiling to herself. Soon after, Ponyboy and Sodapop glanced into her room, catching a glimpse of her happiness. Sodapop rolled his eyes and huffed, muttering, “She’s got puppy love,” before turning and walking away. Ponyboy huffed softly rolling his eyes. “Not with my best friend, no she ain’t.”
