THE RETURN OF DARRY CURTIS

ANYONE'S POV

Sodapop and Ponyboy Curtis walked home with their four friends. Steve Randall, Two-Bit Matthews, Johnny Cade and Dally Winston. Their brother left home three years ago and lived in Austin Texas. The house was quiet when the kids arrived. Finding a note from their parents that they went to the store, the older guys sat down to play cards and Pony did homework. A little later Jack and Lisa Clarke knocked on the door. The couples were best friends and in fact the families were so close that the kids called them aunt and uncle. Their daughter Bree Ann was close with all three brothers.

Without a second to think about it, Mrs. Clarke spoke. "Soda, Pony, there's been an accident. I'm sorry to have to tell you this, but your parents didn't survive. You boys are to stay with us until it's decided where you will go." She told them. "You're lying." Pony shrieked. When she tried to pull him to her, he hit her. "Stop this nonsense at once." Lisa commanded watching Soda hug the younger boy. "What do you mean where we'll go? This is our home." Soda snarled angrily at her indifference to their pain.

"You can't stay here alone. I will be calling Darrel to see what he plans to do about you and the house. I tried to call before we got here, but there was no answer." "No!" Dally thundered. "I will go and tell him. This is not something you should hear over the phone, especially from a cold-hearted bitch. I'll leave right now. Soda, you take care of Ponyboy. Two-Bit, take me to the bus station." "He has three days, then I decide for him." Lisa said to the greaser as he opened the door.
"I can't imagine your brother would disrupt his life to take care of you, so you can stay with us. Get some things together and we'll go home." "Soda, I wanna stay here." Pony howled.
"It's all right. We'll be back when Darry comes home." Looking at their friends Soda asked, "Can our friends come to?" "I guess for a little while." Lisa begrudgingly allowed.

DARRY'S POV

Dally reached his destination around 10PM, then he had to get a ride to the apartment. The man was tired and not looking forward to this because he knew how much pain Darry would be in. He took a deep breath and knocked on the door, briefly wondering how the boys were then focused all his attention on the dark-haired young man standing in front of him. "Dally, what's going on?" I asked since I wasn't expecting Dally. "Hey Darry, how ya been? Gonna let me in?" I moved aside to let him in. "How is everyone?"
"That's kind of why I'm here. Better sit down Buddy."
"What?" I braced myself for a blow.
"Your parents were in an accident. They, they didn't make it."
"Oh God, what about the kids?" I asked.
"Soda and Pony weren't in the car. I'm assuming the Clarke's have them four now."
"I need to call them." I stammered brokenly.
"Okay, but first take a minute and calm down. Pony was really tore up and if he knows how badly you are upset, it will scare him that much more."

Walking into the kitchen, Dally poured me a cup of coffee and we sat down. "Darry, you have to take the boys. If you don't, they might get split up or worse, Lisa will get them." Looking around the room, I nodded. I knew what needed to be done. Go home say goodbye to my parents and take care of my little brothers. Picking up the phone, I called Bree Ann. "Hello?"
"Brennie, it's me." I said. Bree Ann and I had dated briefly then decided that we were better off as friends. Bree was the only person who knew my secret. "Darry?"
"Yeah, Dally just got here. Can I talk to the boys?" She was quiet a minute. "They've been in bed awhile. They were upset because Mom said something about keeping them and they couldn't count on you for anything." "I'll be there as soon as I can. At least they have each other."
"Mom won't let them share a room. Soda begged her, but she wouldn't let him stay with Pony." "Please let me talk to my brothers. Our parents just died and I can't stand to think of them hurting all alone. That's cruel. Brennie, please." I was fighting tears and my voice was rough.
She exhaled, "Hang on a second."

ANYONE'S POV

Bree Ann silently woke Sodapop and told him to follow her. They went to Pony's room where the little boy was dozing uneasily, Soda sat by the bed and shook him. "Are you still there?" Bree spoke into the phone.
"Yeah." Darry responded.
"Soda, it's for you and Pony. Remember to be quiet."
"Hello?" Soda said.
"Soda, are you and Pony all right?"
"Darry, Mom and Dad are gone."
"I know Buddy." Was the quiet reply.
"Please say you're coming to get us. We need you." Soda beseeched.
"I am. Can I talk to Ponyboy a minute?"
"Darry, I miss you." The little boy whimpered after he was handed the phone.
"I miss you to little man. I love you."
"I love you too. You won't let the Clarke's keep us, will you?" Pony mumbled.
"Don't worry baby. I'll be there."
"Mrs. Clarke won't let Soda sleep with me. I'm scared, and I want mama." He sobbed.
"I know. Just hang on until I get there. Lie down while Soda is there, let me talk to him."
"Okay Soda, Darry wants you." Pony laid down.
"It's me Darry." Soda said. Soda listened a minute. "Okay bye, love you."
Bree talked to him awhile then hung up. Soda was almost asleep by his little brother.

"Soda, sweetie, we gotta go before Mom catches us." She said.
"Bree Ann what is the meaning of this? I told those boys to stay in their own rooms." Mrs. Clarke said, barging in. "Darry called to talk to them. He's coming back and plans on taking custody when he does."
"That's ridiculous! He doesn't even know them. The boy hasn't been home in three years."
"We've seen our brother. We know him. Dally, Two-Bit, and even Bree Ann took us to see him." Soda growled rubbing Pony's arm. "Well it doesn't matter now. Get back to your own room." Pony whimpered when Soda got up."It's okay honey. I'll see you in the morning."
"Sodapop, don't leave me, please." Pony pleaded.
"I have to. I don't want to, but she's making me." He cuddled Pony then stood up as Lisa jerked him to the door. "Get to bed!" She ordered. "Bree Ann, I can't believe you let them disobey me." "I think they needed to talk to their brother. Good night mother." Bree walked Soda to his room then went to hers. Soda knew his little brother was scared and alone. In three days Darry would be home. The funeral was next week. He missed his parents, his home and friends. Pony cried as he sat in the dark. He wanted his mama, Soda, Darry, or anyone so he wasn't alone. In the early morning hours, he fell into a fitful sleep.

DARRY'S POV

Dally's dark eyes searched mine. "You had the same look on your face the first time I kissed you." He stepped up to me, his hips pushing me to the wall. His arousal was instant and he groaned. "Dally!" I protested, and my hands went to his chest. God, he felt good. His body was warm and he smelled like cologne. "Three years," Dally whispered holding my gaze. "I still get turned on when I touch you." "Dal, my roommate could catch us." "I don't care right now." His hips rubbed against me as his mouth covered mine, penetrating with slow thrusts. Dally's mouth grew more urgent as his hips moved sensuously against mine. We heard the door open and jumped apart seconds before Jeff came in. I introduced them before he told me he was sorry about my folks and went to his room. Dally stared at me. "I could say I'm sorry, but I wouldn't mean it." Dally said huskily. I swallowed hard. "No need to." He touched my face and moved away with great reluctance.
"We'll finish this later Darry."
"Yeah, I know." I agreed as Jeff told me he was staying over at his girlfriends. We sat down while Dally lit a cigarette.

ANYONE'S POV

Dally watched Darry try to pretend he was fine, the older boy knew he wasn't.
"Darry, why don't you go get some rest? I'll lock up and crash in the guest room."
"All right." He looked preoccupied climbing the stairs. However, minutes later he was back.
"Dal?"
"Hey buddy, I thought you went to bed. You need to rest. It's going to be a long day tomorrow. We have a lot of packing to do." "I know. I was wondering, I mean, I wanted to know if -" His voice stopped. Dally had a pretty good idea what he wanted, but he needed Darry to say it. The two were very close. Even with time and distance the forbidden feelings were still there. They had kissed occasionally and slept in the same bed cuddling up, but since neither wanted to risk their deep friendship it went no further.

"What do you need D. S.?" Dally asked using his special name for the younger man. "I need you to hold me. I need to feel your arms around me." He admitted.
"Okay, let me turn the lights out."
Darry sat on the top step and waited.
"Come on buddy." Dally helped Darry up and followed him down the hall. He could tell there was something else on his friend's mind, but he couldn't guess what. "What's on your mind D.S.?" Darry looked down at his hands. Dally knew him so well. "I do have something I was thinking about." "What is it Darry?" Dally took his hand and led him to the bed where they sat down. "I, I, need-" Darry couldn't finish his thoughts. Tonight he needed Dally to do more than just hold him, but he was so afraid of being rejected. "Hey, look at me." Darry raised his face to Dally's gaze. "I'm not that hard to talk to am I?" He smiled when Darry shook his head. "Then take a deep breath and tell me." "Dally, I feel so alone. I need you to make me feel more than this overwhelming pain that threatens to tear me apart. Please." The boys knew it was coming to this; the attraction was getting harder to deny. They never thought it would happen this way. Dally started to tell him no, but one look at that shattered, pain-filled face and he couldn't refuse him. Instead he raised Darry's face for his kiss and prayed they were doing the right thing. At first he kissed him softly, but Darry looked at him and told him. "Harder, Dally, kiss me harder."

Dally put both hands on the sides of his handsome, tear-stained cheeks and kissed him the way he'd always wanted to. His tongue touched the other boy's lips and he slid the tip in when Darry opened his mouth. Dally's hands wandered down to cup his ass cheeks. Dally kissed him again, this time it was Darry who slid his tongue into the other mouth and his hand moved slowly down the hard, flat stomach, but before he could go lower the older man stopped him. "D. S., are you sure? I want you so much, but if we do this there is no going back."

DARRY'S POV

"I'm sure Dally, show me how to please you." I begged him.
"I want to, but I'll never forgive myself if we do this and I lose you as my best friend. I couldn't stand that. Be sure this is really what you want." He breathed. To answer him, I pulled his mouth down for a deep kiss. My hand went to Dally's chest and moved lower past his belly, then stopped at the waistband of his jeans. Dally gently guided my hand so I could feel him, hard and throbbing through the material. We took our shirts off and Dally feasted on my nipples, first one then the other sending unfamiliar feelings shooting through me. His hands were on my zipper. "Can I take them off?" I nodded and soon the jeans were on the floor quickly followed by his own. He wrapped his hand around my velvet length and then got on his knees, opened his mouth and took my rock hard member inside. The heat of his mouth was incredible. Dally kept his eyes on mine as he pleasured me.

ANYONE'S POV

When Darry tried to pull back, Dally wouldn't let him and soon he was thrusting into his face.
"Dally, you gotta stop. I can't take much more." He hissed.
The older greaser shook his head and reached up to tweak his nipples. Then it was too late to stop as Darry thrust forward one last time before Dally felt him throb and tasted him. After a moment he moved away. "Dal?" Darry said. Dally sat on the bed and kissed Darry long and hard. "Not tonight D. S., you need to sleep. I'll be right here with you. I won't leave you and when the time is right, we'll talk. Now lie down." He instructed. After he did, Dally curled around him.

DARRY'S POV

My body started trembling and a cry escaped. Dally tightened his grasp and massaged my back. He let me cry for what I'd left behind and was now gone forever. "How will I do this alone, Dally?" "You just will. D. S., you won't be alone. The gang will all be there to help and everything will be fine." I turned around so I could rest my head on Dally's chest. After kissing him, we went to sleep. The phone woke me up at 8AM.
"Hello?" I answered sleepily.
"Darry?" Two-Bit said.
"Yeah, hey Two-Bit, what's up?"
"I told Pony I would call and see when we should expect you. He's really excited."
"I should be there by 8PM on Saturday. How are they?" I asked.
"Fine. Soda was worried, now he says things will be great."
"Dally and me will be getting everything ready today. I'll call before we leave."
"We'll see you then."
"Bye Two-Bit."
"Bye Darry." We hung up and I went back in the bedroom. Dally was lying on his side still resting, so I went to shower.

ANYONE'S POV

After breakfast Lisa tried to convince the younger Curtis brothers to stay with them, but they wanted to go home and ran upstairs to pack. Johnny and Steve came over to help them, then they went outside. It was 3:30 when Pony sat by Soda and leaned against him. Lisa smiled. "Ponyboy, why don't you go up to your room and take a nap?" She suggested when he laid his head in his brother's lap. "He's fine where he is." The older boy said brushing Pony's hair back.
"I was just thinking about the boy."
"No, you were not. If you were, you would have let me stay with him last night. Come on guys, let's take a walk." The four greasers walked off. Later Steve and Johnny left.

It was midnight, Soda couldn't lie down because he was too worried about Ponyboy. There was a peck on the window, then another. He opened the curtain to see Johnny in the tree. Soda helped him in. "What are you doing here, Johnny?"
"Two-Bit dropped me off. We gotta get to Ponyboy. He's in really bad shape." They slipped out the door, and then froze when Jack appeared in the hall. He indicated they should go quietly on their way, as did he. After letting their eyes adjust to the dark, they saw Pony sitting on the floor, back against the wall, knees drawn up, face hidden in his hands. "Oh Pony." Soda sat down and tugged him into his arms. Ponyboy was shuddering with the force of his cries. Johnny knelt beside his friends. "It's okay. We're here. Nothing can hurt you now." They told him. "I don't wanna stay here. Don't make me, and I want mama. I wanna go home." Looking at his brother, he gasped. "Oh God, Soda, don't let her catch you in here." "I don't care. I can't, I won't leave you like this." Soda stated wile Pony leaned into him and yawned. "Pone, why don't you lay down awhile? Me and Johnny will stay." "Don't want to." He moaned.
"Come on." They stood up and went over to the bed, placing the youngest Curtis in the middle, Soda and Johnny on either side. Each guarding the shattered kid in their own way. At 7Am, Jack woke them up so Soda could go back to his room and Johnny went home.

Darry POV

Dally and me had most of my stuff ready to go. A few more days and I would be home. I didn't realize how much I missed Mom and Dad until they were gone forever. Now it was up to me to make a home for Soda and Pony.
