Ponyboy's pov-

I woke up next to him and smiled. He returned my smile and kissed me. "come on baby, let's make breakfast" He smiled so I groaned and hid my face in his bare chest. I smirked seeing his large bulge. I moved down and st-

"Ponyboy wake up, you gotta get to school" Darry said "fine" I groaned and just laid there staring at the ceiling. Damn, why did Darry have to wake me up at this moment? I was having the best dream ever. Maybe it'll finally happen in real life. Who am I kidding? He's older than me and straight, there's no fucking way he'll date me let alone make out with me. I sighed and got dressed in blue jeans, a greenish brown sleeveless shirt and my black converse.

I walked to school kicked an occasional rock as I passed it. Only if I could've gotten five more minutes of sleep. I sighed and made my way down the street to the hell hole people call school, It's supposed to be a happy place where everyone goes to learn. It's the complete opposite. It's a giant building where all the greasers, socs and regular people are all forced to cram into a classroom and learn shit. It's not happy at all, especially for a greaser like me. I get picked on a lot by all the socs. It sucks.

After school I went straight home and started working on my home work. If I don't then Darry will be pissed. About a half hour went by and I was done with my homework. I put my stuff in Soda and I's room then began to walk out the door to go hang out with Johnny. "Where do you think you're goin?" Darry asked "to see what Johnny is up to" I told him "fine but be back before it gets dark" he sighed so I walked out the door and to Johnny's house.

Johnny wasn't at his house but I eventually found him at the lot. I sat on the bench beside him and sighed "Johnny this is getting hard" he looked at me then back at the ground. Johnny is the only one in the gang, well the world, that knows that I'm gay. "what happened?" he asked "I can't take it no more. I gotta tell him that I like him" I told him "Ponyboy are you sure? he might get mad or put you in a boys home" He told me "I gotta tell him though, I really love him Johnny, I want him to be my boyfriend" I sighed laying back on the o;d bench. "Ponyboy, I think you should tell him but I'm scared for you" Johnny sighed leaning back also. I sighed and looked at the stars. Stars! "shit I'm supposed to be home!" I said and jumped up. I ran back home and saw Darry on the couch inside.

I walked in and looked at Soda who was on the couch and Darry who had stood up. "where the hell have you been?" Darry asked pissed "I was talking to Johnny in the lot and lost track of time" I explained "you always loose track of time, you always forget. that's all I ever hear from you!" he ranted "I'm sorry, I was talking to Johnny bout something something important" I told him "I don't give a flying fuck how important your conversation was! I just wanted you to be home because...because..." He trailed off. "because why?" I asked looking him in the eyes. He looked at me then looked at the ground. "Why, Darry?" I asked so he looked at me. He cupped my face in his hands and connected our lips. I can't believe this is happening! I've wanted this so bad, for so long.

He pulled away from me and looked scared. I just smiled and hugged him. "I love you Darry" I whispered not letting go of him. "I love you too Ponyboy" He replied. I relaxed and just stayed there hugging him. It was the best feeling in the world. "Pony you coming to bed?" Soda asked getting up from the couch."yeah, I'll be there in a minute" I told him after letting go of Darry.

Darry's pov-

I can't believe I did that. I mean I've liked Ponyboy for a long time. I looked at him but didn't know what to say. "Ponyboy..." I sighed "Darry. I've liked you for a long time too" He said causing me to smile a little. "well, do you wanna be my boyfriend or something?" I asked awkwardly "yeah" He smiled. God, I love his smile, he looks so much better when he smiles. He moved closer and kissed me. I smiled and pulled away from him. "you got school tomorrow, get to bed" I told him "alright" He sighed and went to his and Soda's room.

I laid in my bed and stared at the ceiling. Damn, I can't believe I finally am dating Ponyboy. Nobody in the gang knows I'm gay, well except for Pony now. I drifted to sleep with a slight grin on my lips.

I woke up in the middle of the night to Pony screaming. I jumped up and ran to his room. I saw him curled up on the bed screaming while Soda tried to calm him. I sat next to him and hugged him "hey, hey, hey, baby, it's ok. it was just a nightmare" I said holding him. He stopped screaming and sobbed into my bare chest. "Pony you ok?" Soda asked. Pony didn't respond because he was still in shock from his nightmare. "you wanna sleep with me tonight?" I asked so he nodded. I picked him up and carried him to my room.

I laid down next to Pony and looked at him. "do you remember anything about that nightmare?" I asked him, "a little" He sighed "what did you remember?" I asked "it was mom and dad and the auto wreck. I saw them hurt and die. I was scared. I miss them Darry" He told me "I know. it was only a couple weeks ago. I miss them too" I sighed and brought him close to me. I kissed his forehead and fell asleep.

I woke up and Pony was still asleep. I carefully got out of bed and got dressed. I went to the kitchen and started making breakfast. I started eating when Pony walked out of the bedroom. "Hey, you ain't lookin to good. do you feel ok?" I asked him so he shook his head no. He grabbed a plate of food and sat in front of me at the table. "you shouldn't go to school today" I told him so he nodded. I looked at him and could tell it was more than just being sick "what's wrong?" I asked "I miss mom and dad" he sighed then ate a little bit of eggs. "I know, I'm here for you Ponyboy" I told him. He nodded and washed his plate in the sink.

I went to Soda and Pony's room and looked at Ponyboy who was laying in bed. "here's some advil" I told him so he took them and sighed "thanks" I checked his temperature with the back of my hand then sat on the edge of the bed. "if you ain't feeling better by tomorrow then I'm taking you to the doctor, you ain't lookin to good and you gotta bad fever" I told him so he nodded. I kissed him before leaving for work.

Ponyboy's pov-

I laid in bed staring at the ceiling. I feel like shit. I'm scared to fall asleep because I don't want to have another nightmare. I grabbed a book off the side table and started reading. I got really tired and accidentally fell asleep.

I was sitting on the couch waiting for my parents to get home from work. I jumped up when I heard footsteps on our front steps. "mom, Da- you're not my parents" I said seeing the police. "are you Darrel Curtis, Ponyboy Curtis or Soda-pop Curtis?" one cop asked "Yeah, I'm Ponyboy, my brothers are in the other room" I told them. "we have something very important to tell you and your brothers" The cop said so I hollered for my brothers. Darry walked over and was confused "can we help you?" The cop nodded and sighed "we have terrible news, your parents have been in a bad auto wreck" the cop said and I almost broke, "are they in the hospital?" Soda asked "yes" the cop replied "let's go" Darry said grabbing his car keys. we drove to the hospital and found our parents.

I walked in the room my parents were in and almost started sobbing. I walked over and looked at my mother. "I love you boys" she said weakly "I love you too" I sniffled then looked at her heart monitor. I screamed as it went flat. I couldn't stop. I sobbed and screamed "Mom!" Darry grabbed me and tried to get me to stop but it got worse as I saw our dad's heart monitor go flat. the doctors forced us to leave. we walked out just as a tow truck passed with a crushed car on it. I sobbed even harder.

I woke up to someone shaking me so I looked up to see Darry. I sat up and threw my arms around him. "you're ok" He whispered holding me tight. "ow" I whispered so he loosened his grasp on me. I was trembling and I think Darry could tell. "I got you baby, it was just a nightmare" he told me "No, it happened in real life" I sniffled "mom and dad?" he asked so I nodded. He just held me close. "I love you" I whispered "I love you too" He smiled and we just sat there hugging.
