Summary
“You want it?” Ponyboy asked him, gently handing Johnny the glass. Johnny shook his head no, still rattled up by his thoughts.
“No… I… I got work in the morning.” That wasn’t a lie, it just… wasn’t all of the truth. Yeah.
“Well then, the more the merrier!” Ponyboy said stupidly, feigning a large smile. Johnny could see the tiredness in his eyes. He then slammed the shots, one after the other, without even swapping hands. Johnny just watched. His own hand began to shake. What if his conscious was right? His lizard brain quickly took over, heart suddenly pounding.

Ponyboy has had a rough day at work, at has brought a bottom of whiskey home along with his feelings. The only thing is, Johnny can't stand alcohol. He's petrified of it, but more so, petrified that Ponyboy will act like his old man when he does crack open the bottle.

Summary
"Dally!" Pony pounded his fist against the wall separating the trunk from the rest of the car. "Cool it with the peel outs, man, you outta kill us back here!"
They both stirred in the silence that they met in response.
"They can't hear us," Johnny said dumbly, before watching the wildly devilish smirk that grew on Ponyboy's face.
"They... can't hear us." Pony's eyes glinted evil.
"Pones, c'mon—" but Johnny's whining was swiftly cut off my a mouth on his own. They were still for a very brief moment that felt much longer to Pony before they started moving wildly against each other.

Summary
A shell of Johnny Cade stood before him. His voice was reedy and far-away. His hair was stringy, much unlike its usual greasiness, and ashy. His eyes were clouded with smoke. His skin was bubbled with ashy cysts, breaking dry, more flames spilling out as opposed to keratin. The jacket he wore was charred, a line of flames behind him. And from his lips, he drew,
“Ponyboy! Pony!”
It sounded hoarse. It sounded distant. It sounded disgusting. This was not his Johnny. Not his—

Summary
“John? Johnnycakes?” Ponyboy snapped his fingers in front of Johnny’s face. “You’ve been staring up at the stars for 15 minutes now. Glory, I’m ‘bout to talk my mouth off.”
Johnny nodded softly and let out a huff of a laugh. He wasn’t sure why he said what he said next, but he was desperate to get off the topic of that Cherry something.
“You think there’s some place without Greasers an’ Socs?”or
that seen in the lot where Johnny talks about killing himself, but rewritten. cause yeah -

Summary
“I didn’t mean to,” he said sheepishly, walking past Darry and into the bathroom. He wasn’t quite sure what he was going to do in the bathroom, per se, he just needed to go somewhere.
“‘I didn’t mean to,’ ‘I forgot,’—that’s all I ever HEAR from you!” Darry shouted, swinging the bathroom door open and staring directly at Pony. Then his eyes flit down to his neck, along the edge of his shirt collar. He blinked.
“Ponyboy, what is on your neck?”
or
