You were a notably serious personality, well, allegedly, a serious person who had the goofiest boyfriend known to man kind, great, totally checks out if you're someone who believes all the opposites attract and whatnot going on there but most people just didn't get it

Normal people didn't get it, the Greasers seemed to get it Two-Bit always needed someone to keep him anchored and to reel him in, it kinda just made sense for Two-Bit

But for someone who'd known you first? It made no sense, you had barely any patience to the untrained eye, a twitching hand when you were pissed, a swift side eye and scrunch of the nose, but actually, if done right, annoyance can be quite charming

There were maybe two rules you had for charming annoyance, as a theory, point one, they had to be actually somewhat funny doing it, point two, it shouldn't be mean, and if the annoyance is mean, they should be at least good at being mean, being funny and mean

And Two-Bit thankfully, ticked off those two boxes needed for acceptable and charming annoyance, which most people wouldn't guess, to most Two-Bit was just obnoxious, so they didn't give the time to even listen to his jokes, but if they'd listen, they'd know he's pretty darn hilarious

Ponyboy still wondered how in Gods name a serious yet sweet and pretty girl such as yourself actually bagged Two-Bit, and honestly, why would a pretty girl want to bag Two-Bit? He was 90 percent sure Two-Bit might filter himself a little around you but even then he makes it hard to be tolerable

(The curse of me using Ponyboy as someone who doesn't make sense of pretty girls liking greasers, he brought that on himself with some of the content of that book, a thank yew) So hey, next time you hung around the group for the sake of talking to Two-Bit, he figured it wouldn't hurt to ask, hell he knew Two-Bit wouldn't care

"You're pretty West Side" Ponyboy points out as you sit beside Two-Bit with one leg neatly over the other, you nod "I know" You shrug a little bit and Two-Bit grins, he had plenty of pride in your social standings, it entertained him a wild amount in your opinion

"So ya could basically- like, simply have any guy you wanted" Ponyboy says and you raise your eyebrows maybe a little amused? Pony could never tell, all he knew was that Dallas was snickering now and Steve gave him a side eye that told him 'that's so weird to ask' and Johnny had perked out of curiosity

"I wouldn't say any guy but go on" You hum with a small smile and Ponyboy narrows his eyes "So why Two-Bit? He's lazy, loud and annoyin'" Two-Bit started cackling at that, that's part of what you liked about Two-Bit actually

Two-Bit never took anything people said to heart, even if it'd probably hurt the average person that'd probably end up holding those words until they were a bit of a grudge, he was too careless to take anything to heart, he thought life was too much fun to hold any petty grudges over unflattering descriptions that were true

"Someone's been waitin' to shoot off that list, huh Pony?" Steve says sarcastically with an eyeroll and as Ponyboy goes to defend himself against the very true allegation you speak up "I can answer your question" You say with a simple shrug before giving a smile
