Song: She can't save him
Pairing: Ponyboy and Twobit
The soft crunch of gravel announced the arrival of a car into the drive way. Ponyboy who had been waiting up, looked out the window and let out a sigh of relieve.
Two-bit was home.
It had been a little over five years since the night that Johnny and Dally both passed away in the worst of ways. Pony could openly say their names now, though it still hurt slightly. A few months after all that happened, Two-bit and Pony leaned on each other more than anyone else. It was only natural that they would start dating.
It had started with just a kiss to make Pony and Two-bit feel better. Then it turned to more kisses, then turned to fucking, then to love making and then to love.
After a while the rest of the gang truly found out about them, they always had their suspicions, but it was nice to actually hear it out of their mouths.
Once Ponyboy had finished high school, he had gotten a job at the local grocery store and soon became assistant manager and got into a community college. Two-bit really shocked everyone, when he stopped drinking and got a job at a nursery, working with the flowers. Something everyone was surprised that he was really good at.
It was about a year and a half ago that Two-bit shocked them all again when he asked Ponyboy to "marry" him and move into a small house that wasn't to far from the Curtis's. Ponyboy said yes and they were happier then ever. Then Two-bit started drinking again.
Before he would just get wasted on beer, never really anything harder than that. Now a days though, he would come home with all different kinds of liquor on his breath. He never did anything to hurt Pony and would say he was sorry the next day for doing it, but it never stopped.
Ponyboy walked to the door and opened it watching Two-bit walk up the small walk way that lead to the house. He was just through the door, when his foot caught on something and he tripped. Ponyboy was there to catch him though, just like always.
Pony helped Two-bit to their room, stripping him on the way, until he was just down to his boxers. Once they were in the room, Pony helped him into bed and pulled the covers up over Two-bit. He kissed him softly and then Two-bit rolled over and fell asleep.
Sighing lightly Pony went and shut everything off for the night. Then he stripped and crawled into bed with his love and fell asleep somewhat quickly after saying a small prayer that Two-bit made it home ok.
The next morning, Pony was up before Two-bit and left some aspirin and a glass of water on the bed side table to him to find. Getting dressed he made his way into the kitchen and started making coffee for Two-bit. It didn't take long for him to hear the other male get up and groan. Right on schedule he heard the glass clink back on to the table and the bed squeak. Then he heard foot steps then the shower turn on.
Reaching for the phone, Pony dialed the number to Two-bit's work.
"Cuppari's nursery, this is Kristen speaking how may I help you?" A pleasant voice said.
"Hey Kriss, it's Ponyboy,"
"Oh, hey Pony, is everything ok?" She asked, sounding concerned. She was a very understanding and caring boss. Pony heard the shower turn off and Two-bit get out.
"Yea, I was just calling to let you know that Keith was going to be late for work, he wasn't feeling to good last night and I'm not sure if he's going to wake up feeling any better, but I know he'll want to be there one way or the other," He could lie so well , he scared himself sometimes.
"Oh, I'm sorry to hear that and ok, I'll see him in a little bit, but if he's too sick, tell him don't bother ok?" She asked.
"No problem at all love, I'll talk to you later,"
"Bye hun,"
He hung up and turned around only to find his lips being captured by Two-bit.
Pony moaned a little into the kiss and wrapped his arms around Two-bits naked, still damp, shoulders.
"Should I be concerned that you're calling someone while I'm in the shower and calling them love?" He asked, trying to look stern, but his eyes were dancing with a smile.
"You know damn well I wouldn't call anyone but Kriss love and that's only because she started calling me things like that, now get ready for work you," Pony commanded lightly, but kissed Two-bit again.
"With kisses like that how do you expect me to get ready for anything, but getting you back in bed," Two-bit smile and kissed Pony's neck.
Pony wanted to lose control but he needed to get to work as well.
"Tell you what, you get your butt to work and when you get home, I will be your slave," Pony said against Two-bit's lips.
The older males eyes sparked. "I'm going I'm going," He went off to the bed room and Pony could hear him getting dressed. He got Two-bit a large mug of coffee and made it the way that he liked. When Two-bit came back he was all ready except for his shoes and accepted the coffee and all but drained it.
Pony walked with him to the living room where he put on his shoes and kissed him at the door.
"I'll see you later my love," Two-bit said.
"Till then," Pony smiled and walked out with him onto the porch.
After Two-bit pulled away from the house, Pony noticed their neighbor was out of the house and he waved to her.
"Hi, Ms. Spicy,"
"Hi there, Ponyboy,"
She was a nice girl that always was supportive of him and Two-bit even helped them move in and made them dinner every once and a while. She smiled and waved, and then he turned and went back in the house.
Pony closed the door and leaned against it, hoping that Two-bit comes home sober.
After a long day at the grocery store, Pony came home, Two-bit's car already in the drive. Getting out, he made his way into the house calling for his lover, kicking his shoes and socks off. Not getting a response, he started checking all the rooms, he went into bedroom and didn't see him there either.
"Now where the hell is he?" Pony mumbled to himself.
He got his answer when a piece of cloth fell over his eyes and was tied there. Two-bit wrapped his arms around his lover and kissed his neck.
"Welcome home from work, my love," He whispered into the younger man's ear, making his shiver.
"What is all this?"
"You said, you would be my slave, I'm making good on that promise," Pony felt Two-bits tongue on his neck and the cold air that hit the wet spot, made him shiver again.
Two-bit pulled at the bottom of Pony's shirt and lifted it off his body, then wrapped his arms back around Pony. With his shirt of the younger male could feel that Two-bit wasn't wearing a shirt either. The older male unbuckled Pony's pants, then undid the button and zipper, letting the denim fall down the others toned legs. Moving him towards the bed, Pony was able to step out of his pants and before he made it to the bed, his underwear went with it.
Two-bit let go of Pony and told him to lay on the bed. He did as told and heard the hushing sound of pants being pulled down and taken off. The next thing he felt was Two-bit's warm body pressed onto him.
"Keith," Pony gasped as their cocks brushed each other.
"Hush you," Two-bit said, kissing the other male.
Pony responded and moaned as he felt warm hands rubbing all over him. It wasn't until he felt the rough texture of rope against his wrists, that he realized what Two-bit had done.
"Just to make sure you don't go anywhere," Two-bit said, kissing him and then starting to kiss a line down his lover's body.
Pony let out a moan as Two-bit ghosted over his nipples with teasing licks and soft kisses. He moved down this lovers body, nipping and tasting the sweet flesh, relishing in the noises that Ponyboy was making.
Getting to Pony's glory Two-bit ran just the tip of his tongue against the thick vein at the bottom from base to tip. This action made his cock twitch in front of Two-bit, making said male grin. Getting up better on his knee's, he took as much of Pony's cock in his mouth as he could. The sudden wet warmth made Pony's hips attempt to buck, but Two-bit held him in place and worked his mouth over Pony.
Pony was moaning and panting when Two-bit let go of him, making the other male huff slightly.
"Don't be like that love, it's about to get a whole lot better,"
Pony bit his lip in anticipation, waiting for what Two-bit was going to do next.
There was a bit of shuffling and a popping noise. When two fingers pressed into him, it made him jump then just moan louder than before. The fingers pressed into him deeper, making sure Pony was ready for something much bigger. It was a few more stokes of his fingers before Two-bit was sure Ponyboy was ready.
There was a shift on the bed and something much bigger and warmer than him fingers was at Pony entrance. Inch by inch, Two-bit slid deeper into the cavern of his lover, making both of them moan out in pleasure.
Once Two-bit was fully in, he leaned up and kissed Pony, then started sliding out just as slow as he went it. He did this a few times, before Pony's moans were starting to drive him crazy, making him move faster with each thrust.
By the time he was up to a pretty fast speed, they were both so hard, that the need to come was unbearable.
Reaching between their bodies, Two-bit grabbed Pony's cock and started stroking it in time with his thrusts. Pony started moaning louder and came with a jerk all over Two-bits hand and their stomachs. It only took a few more thrusts into his ass for Two-bit to come hard. Once he was done coming, he pulled out of Ponyboy. There was a few minutes of silence as Two-bit went somewhere, but when he came back there was a wet cloth cleaning him up.
When Two-bit was satisfied with Pony's cleanness, he laid on top of said male and pulled off the blindfold.
"Well hi there," He smiled down at his lover.
"Hi, are you going to untie me anytime soon?" Pony asked with a smile of his own.
"I think I like you like this," He smiled again and kissed the younger man below him.
As they kissed, Two-bit reached up and undid Pony's wrists and threw the rope off to the side of the bed somewhere. Pony wrapped his arms around his lover and kissed him deeper.
Two-bit broke the kiss and moved the blanket so it was over them and resumed his previous position over Pony. He happily let the older male back into his arms and kissed him with all the love he had. The laid like that for a while just kissing each other until Pony let out a yawn.
Two-bit smiled and rolled off Pony, their lips not letting go of each other, but now they were both on the bed lazily kissing. It went on like that until Pony fell asleep, mid-kiss and Two-bit smile and kissed his sleeping lover once more and fell asleep himself.
~*~ Two-bits head was dipping below the black waters again and again as he struggled to keep himself afloat. The currents were to strong though as just kept fighting. Ponyboy was standing on the side of the river and reaches for him.
"Keith? KEITH?" Pony yelled and reached for his lover.
Two-bit's hand reached out and grabbed Pony by the wrist and pulls him into the black waters. Suddenly he's all alone in the dark waters, fighting just the same as his lover was moments or was it hours ago. His legs and arms felt like he was fighting for ever. His head went under and he couldn't find the surface anymore. The bubbles were starting to slow that were coming from his mouth and nose. He couldn't fight it anymore. ~*~
Ponyboy awoke with a loud gasp. Putting his hand over his heart, his breath was coming out in shallow pants. Looking over at Two-bit the other male was still sound asleep, but a hurricane could go through the bedroom and it wouldn't wake him up. Taking a few deep breaths he tried to settle himself. Laying back down he curled up to Two-bits side and rested his head on Two-bits chest. The sleeping male curled his arm around Pony instinctively.
This wasn't the first time that he had, had that dream, it seemed to get worse though as Two-bit drank more and more. Closing his eyes, it was a while before he went back to sleep.
The next time Pony woke up, Two-bit had already left for work. It was Pony's day off, so he spent the day cleaning the house, doing laundry and all other manner of things like that. When it got time for Two-bit to come home, Pony sat on the chair that was by the window and waited. After three hours and Two-bit wasn't home, Pony pulled his knee's up to his chest and started crying into them.
Walking into their bedroom he pulled a box out of the closet. It contained tons of pictures. Some where from when his parents were still alive, most of those were starting to brown at the edges. Setting those aside he found the ones that were of the whole gang. Even back then him and Two-bit were close and there were quite a few of them that was just the two of them. He wiped at the tears that were still coming down his cheeks. Then there were the ones from the "wedding" Those were some of his favorites, seeing as he and Two-bit look happy as clams in them. There are a few of them that are the two of them kissing and in the back ground the two that weren't the one taking the picture were making faces. Pony let out a half sob, half laugh at what they used to be and what Two-bit was becoming.
Putting the pictures back, he went to go make a pot of coffee, it was going to be a long night ahead of him.
When Two-bit finally got home hours later, Pony was still up, there to catch him. Once he got him into bed, he went and sat at the kitchen table holding his head in his hands. He figured out a while ago that there wasn't much that he could do about what Two-bit was doing. Every time that he tried to talk to the older greaser, he was met with the same answers. It's not a problem, I don't know what you mean all things like that. Pony also realized that he wouldn't be able to leave the older male anytime soon. He loved him too much for that, but how many more nights could he handle waiting for him to get him. Wondering if he was EVER going to make it home.
Sighing, he turned off the light and headed to bed.
Ponyboy can't save Two-bit from the hell that he's in, its not from lack of trying either.
No one can save Two-bit, but himself and Pony hopes that day comes soon.
Because there is only so much that he can take.
