Steve would stop at nothing to make Pony his. Soda was mad. Really mad that this would happen to his baby brother. "Just wait 'til I tell Darry this," thought Sodapop.

"Ahem. Guys. GUYS!" Sodapop yelled to break up the two on the couch.

Ponyboy blushed a deep shade of red. Two-Bit just looked down. How could he act like that, Two-Bit thought, causing problems in the gang, possibly.

"I'm so sorry Sodapop. I should have thought first," Two-Bit said shamefully.

"Wha-what," Sodapop said shakily, "we're you two doing?"

"Hey Steve," Two-Bit said, " can Soda and I talk on the porch for a minute?"

"Yeah I guess," he said with a scowl. Steve wanted to go to talk to Pony. Pony ran off to his room when Soda went to talk to Two-Bit. Maybe he could try to talk some sense into the kid. What did he see in Two-Bit anyway?

Steve knocked on the door. No answer. He opened the door slowly. Ponyboy was curled up on the bed quietly crying.

"What wrong, kid?" Steve said gently. Might as well be nice if he wanted any chance.

"Lemme alone Steve. Since when do you care anyway?"

"I actually always have. Even if I don't show it."

Ponyboy was shocked to hear this. Steve. The Steve Randle that was tough and care about no one, said he actually cared?

"I-uh- was just checking on you, kid. Bye Pony." Then he walked out. If he would have stayed in there, he probably would have said something he regretted. Like his feelings for Ponyboy. He wanted to tell Pony, but just not now.

Steve walked into the living room. He saw Sodapop walking down the street. Two-Bit just walked inside the house. He paced around and then walked into Pony's room. Steve ran to catch up to Soda.

Two-Bit knocked on Pony's door and walked in. Pony was still laying on the bed, staring at the wall.

"Hey Two-Bit. I'm so sorry. What did Soda say?

"First of you have nothin to be sorry for. It was my fault. And still, I love you. I won't stop loving you because they don't agree. They will just have to learn to accept us. Soda said he was kind of shocked when he walked in. Of course he felt angry, that was his baby brother kissing on the couch. Soda said that he would learn how to deal with it, but he just needed to take a walk and clear his mind. I'm not sure Darry will take this as well. But, and this is the best part, if we actually love each other, I never break you heart and as long as I take care of you, we are allowed to be together by him."

Ponyboy was so excited to hear this. At least his brother accepted him, what he would do without Sodapop he had no idea. Ponyboy jumped up and hugged Two-Bit. The older greaser hugged him back. The could be together and love each other, even if the whole gang didn't know.

"Well then Pone, would you like to be mine?"

Pony looked up, smiled, and kissed Two-Bit.

"I'll take that a a yes, then?" Pony nodded.

••••••••••••••••••••

Darry came home to what he thought an empty house. Weird, he thought, normally people were watching Mickey, yelling and wrestling on the floor.

Two-Bit heard the front door and walked out to say hi to Darry.

"Hey Two. Was Pone with you?"

"Yep. He's here. Let me go get him." Two-Bit banged on Pony's door and told him that Darry wanted him.

When Pony walked into the kitchen, Darry asked if he and Soda could make dinner tonight. Darry had a rough day at work and his back hurt. Pony agreed to help out. Pony gave Darry a hug and then started rummaging through the pantry to find something for dinner.

A few minutes later Sodapop came home, smiling that smile of his, like usual. Soda found Pony in the kitchen and hugged him.

"Hey Pone. I'm not mad at you, this is just who you are. I will love you no matter what. As long as Two-Bit takes care of you, I'm fine with it. Got it?"

Pony nodded eagerly and said, "ya know, were on dinner duty tonight." Sodapop just laughed.

Two-Bit and Steve sat on the couch watching tv. Two-Bit walked out onto the porch for a smoke. Steve followed a minute later. When Steve walked out, Two-Bit noticed an angry look on his face.

Steve walked up to Two-Bit and said, "Listen clown. I have had put up with it long enough. I love Ponyboy. I can't stand the way you glance at each other and give those lovey looks. Pony will be mine. Got that? I will stop at nothing until he's mine." Then Steve stormed inside.

Two-Bit was confused. Steve loved Ponyboy? And now he wanted to take away Ponyboy, his boyfriend? No way. He would not let that happen. Steve's words kept echoing in his head, "I will stop at nothing until he's mine." Two-Bit shivered and went inside.

When he walked inside, blue pasta was on the table. Blue. With purple bread. Great, Two-Bit thought. Soda found the food dye again. Two-Bit sat down at the table next to Ponyboy. Steve sat right next to Ponyboy on the other side. Dinner was awkward, with little conversation, only Two-Bit and Steve fighting over random little thing for no reason. They were fighting even more than usual. The Curtis brothers found it odd, but kept eating.

After dinner was cleaned up, the boys sat down to watch tv. Two-Bit sat next to Pony on the couch and grabbed his hand. They sat there, holding hands, for a few minutes until Soda said, "Hey Pone, can you get me a Pepsi from the kitchen?"

"Sure Sodapop."

Pony went into the kitchen and bent down to look in the fridge for the pepsi. When he got up and turned around, Steve was sitting on the table behind him.

"Hey Pone," Steve said as he jumped off the table and stepped closer to Ponyboy.

"Hi Steve. I just have to bring this to Sodapop. Gotta go." Steve stepped in front of him blocking the exit. Pony was kind of scared. Steve was normally mean to him, treating him like some little kid. Then this afternoon he was being oddly nice to Pony. Something was up with Steve. Pony was scared Steve might try to hurt him or something, they way he stepped closer and had a determined look on his face.

"Ponyboy, I love you," Steve said as he leaned down and kissed Ponyboy. Steve kissed him gently, pulling Pony close into his chest. Ponyboy loved the feeling, but this was wrong. He loved Two-Bit. Not Steve. Right?

Steve gently broke the kiss an walked into the living room and sat down again. He started joking around and laughing like before, as if nothing just happened.

Ponyboy just stood there, absolutely shocked. What just happened? He loved feeling Steve, so warm, close and gentle, but he was with Two-Bit. Did he have feelings for Steve now, too? Was all of the dislike in the past really to mask other feelings and hide them from himself?

"Where'd the kid go?" He heard Sodapop say.

"I'll be right there," Pony said, still in a daze.

Now he had to choose, Two-Bit or Steve?
