(A.N. I have one other Steve/Pony to post that will be multichaptered, and i cant wait to post. Postings will be on weekends if i can. Any ideas send them my way!)

Soda blinked at the scene on his kid brother's bed. He could picture his brother, age 8, pulling at Soda's shirt.

"Help me?" he held out a piece of paper. It was spelling words.

"I gotta finish my homework. See if Steve will help you" Soda suggested. Pony scowled. He didnt like Steve, Soda's new friend.

"Steve" Pony padded out into the other room.

"What?" the 10 year old snapped.

"Can you help me study?"

"No. Go away" Steve waved the smaller boy off. Pony sniffed, hurt by the boy. "Dont cry, baby" Steve snorted.

Pony whimpered and walked away. But every week he still asked the older boy to help him study.

"Soda, i can explain!" Pony said, hands up in defense.

"its not what it looks like" Steve tried to help. Soda shook his head, eyes wide.

"He was helping me study" Pony said, pushing Steve off of him.

"What the hell were you studying!" Soda yelled, hands going up in the air.

"Global, he was trying to hit me and lost balance, i swear" Pony said, Steve nodded.

"We wouldnt do it if we knew you'd be home" Steve said with a teasing smile on his face.

"We wouldnt do it when we've only been dating for a month" Ponyboy said testingly looking at Steve. Steve looked innocently back at his boyfriend.

"I was only making a point" He said.

"I'm leaving" Soda said, hands up, walking away.

"Man, that was a close one." Steve huffed out, hearing the door to the truck slam as Soda sped away.

"Studying" Pony snorts.

"Chapter one" Steve leans down to catpure his boyfriend in a kiss.

"I like studying with you, Steve" Pony said, running a hand through his hair.

"I should have agreed ages ago" he shoved folders off the bed.
