This takes place after Ponyboy wakes up from the concussion he received towards the end of the Outsiders.
Tired
The day felt slow.
When I say slow, I mean it, like the air didn't want us to do anything.
Rays of sunlight streamed through the window in my room – mine and Soda's, that is. The blanket on top of me felt like a warm cocoon, and I was glad for the heat.
Because of this, it was no surprise to me that Soda and I fell asleep quickly, but before Soda and I could get to sleep, Darry came back in the room.
"We're out of mushroom soup-" he started, but stopped when he saw us close to sleep. He yawned involuntarily.
"You should get some sleep," I told him. "You ain't lookin' too good."
"Naw," he said. "I'm fine."
He hesitated.
"Scoot over," Darry said. Soda and I moved to opposite ends of the bed and Darry laid down in between us. I put my head on his chest and I saw Soda do the same. Darry held us close and we all fell asleep, just like that.
I just love the Curtis brothers. I really do! Remember to request anything if you want me to write it! It could be in an AU, an additional story, or a rewrite of any part in the Outsiders – just ask.
R&R!
