jally hc - johnny gets a lip piercing

* okay so like pony boy and johnny were left on their own for a night at the curtis home bc darry and soda had to like go sort some shit out at the bank for job taxes or smth (that sounds like they’re gonna rob the place, they’re not)

* darry didn’t want pony staying at the house alone and also doesn’t like johnny out in the lot

* win win situation

* johnny gets there and is like ready just to go to bed

* ponyboys is like um no get up we’re doing something we’ll probably regret

* so they brainstorm and ponyboy is like i’ve always wanted my ears pierced

* cue them rooting around the kitchen and making a makeshift piercing set

* it’s not a good one

* a safety pin and some disinfectant wipes

* but then johnnys like wait, how are u gonna hide it from darry

* so then ponyboys like ok where can i pierce that darry won’t see

* his di- no

* they go with a septum piercing

* shit i forgot they’ll need jewellery

* okay

* they get some of mrs curtis’ earrings, just some studs until they can save up for proper ones

* yes i know this isn’t how any of this piercing stuff works but go with it okay

* they start with johnny trying to do it but find his hands are way too shaky so pony ends up doing it himself.

* there’s blood everywhere

* they clean it up before pony even has time to switch the safety pin for an earring

* after they’re done johnny remembers that one time dallas was going on about when he got with this broad with a lip piercing and he loved it

* so he’s like hey pony guess what

* i wanna lip piercing

* ponyboys like are u sure how are u gonna hide that from darry

* johnnys like i’m not his kid brother i don’t have to

* so they get to it

* they take one of mrs curtis’ small hoop earrings and ponyboy pierces his lip for him

* it doesn’t bleed as much as pony’s did so that’s good.

* at first they’re like this isn’t that bad

* then a half hour goes by and they’re both on the couch whining like baby’s

* so johnny leaves early the next morning before darry and soda get back and nobody but them know about the piercings yet

* later that day they pull some of their money together and skip their last few classes in school

* it’s not that much money

* but they’re able to get a proper lip ring for johnny and a septum ring for pony that he very painfully flips up so darry doesn’t notice

* they head back to the house and pony is like omg shits bout to go down when they see ur lip piercing johnny

* surprise surprise, johnny did not think of the consequences of the rest of gang

* they walk in and it’s just two-bit sitting on the floor watching tv and darry in the kitchen making dinner

* they say hi and sit down on the couch to watch tv, waiting for someone to notice

* johnnys kinda nervous ig but ponyboy is fuckin buzzing with excitement

* two-bit turns around to crack a joke and just fuckin freezes

* he’s like :D “haha look-“ :0

* johnny just stares back at him with the straightest face like honestly if only he could use that poker face in a game of actual poker

* ponyboy cant help but fuckin giggle

* two-bit looks at him like :0 did u know about this ??

* then he just bursts out laughing he’s like damnnnnnn johnny that’s real tuff

* (this is getting really long oops)

* darry hears all the noise and comes in like what’s all this about

* he’s sees the lip ring immediately and honestly he’s kinda mad bc he sees johnny as another kid brother but he knows he’s not so he can’t really be mad

* he just kinda gives a disappointed dad face like :/ and starts questioning him on where he got it and who did it

* everything johnny tells him is lies and he feels kinda bad about it but he’s not gonna snitch on ponyboy like that

* next soda and steve come in from work

* two-bit shouts it as soon as they get in the door

* soda laughs and tells him it looks good

* steve says the same but he’s kinda jealous bc he’s wanted one for the longest time

* dally is the last to know

* it’s almost 9 pm when he pokes his head in the door

* i was gonna say at first he doesn’t notice but let’s be real the first thing he does is look for johnny when he enters a room

* he sees it and freezes

* johnnys just watching the tv pretending he doesn’t know dallas his there (it takes him so much self control to hide a smug smirk)

* dallas will never admit this to anyone but he low key got a boner in that moment

* he goes straight to the kitchen to calm down

* johnnys like tf where the reaction at

* so he follows him

* and bc he’s light on his feet dally doesn’t notice until he scares the shit out of him by appearing out of nowhere

* dally won’t look at johnny and johnny is just like

* hey hey hey dally dallas look i got my lip pierced

* dallas is like

* i see that ye good for u man

* and he darts into the living room before johnny can ask what he thinks of it

* johnnys like we’ll damn

* he thinks dally hates it and gets really sad

* so he leaves to go sulk on the lot

* then dallas is like fuck what did i do why is he upset

* about an hour later of struggling to think dallas goes after him

* he finds him and is like

* what did i do i’m sorry

* but he still doesn’t look at johnny

* and johnny is like

* that, that’s what ur doing why aren’t u looking me in the face

* and dallas is like

* i cant, it’s the piercing

* and johnnys tears up and is like

* u hate it don’t u

* dallas looks at him and says the cliche

* i like it too much johnnycakes

* and johnny is like :0 oh

* then they make out and it’s dallas’ favourite thing ever

okay damn this got long and i used “was like” way too much, and honestly what even is grammar good luck to anyone who tried to read this
