Chapter 2 Never to Late

Steve POV (2 weeks later)

I was workin on a real tuff mustangs brakes at the DX when soda comes into work, an hour late.. Sobbing.

I immediately jumped up from under the car to go ask him what's wrong. When I got to him he snaked his arms around my waist and hugged me tight, soaking my shoulder with his tears. I couldn't help but wish it was dally although that sounds super gay of me, and I didn't really know what to do but I awkwardly started to rub his back, murmuring that it would be okay. After a few minutes he finally calmed down enough to explain to me why he was crying.

"Steve.. Please don't hate me.." he began but then started crying again. "shhh soda, it's okay! I could never hate cha, your my bestest bud" I grinned at him. "weell... I'm... G-.. Qu-... I'm a fag!" he yelled before sobbing again. "Soda! Stop cryin for christsakes! You have nothin to worry bout cause I'm actually kinda gay... But you tell anyone and I'll break that beautiful face of yours" I said thinking of Dallas when I said I was gay too, but then I saw Soda's reaction, I laughed at him, and as soon as I started to laugh he jumped on me.

We wrestled around for a bit until I made him holler uncle. We didn't move out of the position we were in though. I was lying on top of him our hips almost touchin with our faces only few inches apart. Soda was slowly leaning towards my mouth And I

Was gonna let him kiss me.

I was real confused bout dally and I still liked 'im, but what's a point in maybe loving someone when they don't feel the same way, I wanted to forget all that he makes me feel and what's a better way to forget about him than to kiss soda? Me and sodas lips were just about to touch when the garage door opened And in came Dallas. I almost couldn't believe Dallas would show up at My work two weeks After the "incident" and with Him not showin his face the whole fuckin time, but then I remembered. Dallas Winston does what he wants, when he wants.

Dallas POV

It had been about two weeks since the kiss. I knew that

I liked Steve, and I knew I was a fag, but that didn't mean I had to embrace it. I spent every single day gettin so damn drunk at bucks that I couldn't walk straight.

Today was different. I woke up and instantly decided I was gonna go to the DX and "talk" to Steve. I got dressed in my usual jeans and flannel, except I didn't wear An undershirt and left the flannel unbuttoned, might as well give Steve a show. It was only a ten minute walk to the DX from bucks, so I was still pretty jumpy when I got there.

I stood outside the garage door feeling nervous, before I swore at myself and strutted on in. I expected to see soda and Steve workin on cars, what I didn't expect to see was Steve lyin on top a soda with them bout to kiss.

I swore again when I saw them, but acted oblivious "hey steve, can I talk to you for a minute.. Outside." I waited till he rolled off of soda and was walkin towards me when I turned on my heel and walked outside.

As soon as Steve shut the door, I grabbed the front of his shirt and pushed him against a wall. I glared at him before I shoved my lips onto his with a kiss that had so much passion it was gonna make him dizzy. I broke off from the Kiss and said "Steve Randal. You are mine. And dont cha forget it." I kissed him again with a short but fierce kiss, before I turned from him, and strutted away.

Steve POV

I watched him walk away, well I actually watched his ass but you get the point. I stood there for awhile before i went back into the garage.

Me and soda kept up our friendly banter with no awkwardness, although neither one of us wanted to bring up what happened before Dallas came. I couldn't stop thinking about what dally said though, no matter how hard I tried. I just couldn't believe he actually did like me, I had always wished he did but never thought he actually would. And that kiss! All the raw passion, I didn't think Dallas Winston even had that much emotion.

By the time work ended, I was practically bouncing around I was so excited to see Dally again. Two-bit came to pick us up after work and when he offered soda to sit in the front I saw him blush lightly, and thought that I'd have to ask him about it later. The ride to the curtis' was about 15 minutes but we passed the time by talkin and two-bit cracking jokes at every single thing we said.

We arrived at the curtis' and saw ponyboy and Johnny reading a book, well ponyboy readin the book to Johnny. And then I noticed dally sitting beside them smokin a cig, I blushed furiously which surprised me because I never blush. Dallas Winston is makin me seem like a dumbass broad.

Dallas POV

I saw two-bits truck pull up and out hopped soda, Steve and him. I couldnt help but drool at the sight of Steve, he looked sexy with his shirt hangin open covered in grease and sweat. They walked up onto the porch and saw pony and Johnny, and when Steve noticed me he blushed a brilliant shade of red, "fuck is he ever sexy" I mumbled under my breath.

I walked inside and heard Soda, two-bit, and Steve follow. "hey soda I'm gonna use your shower" Steve announced. I went to sit on the couch while I listened to the shower start, I pretended to go to the kitchen when I actually snuck up the stairs and into the bathroom, lockin the door behind me. I started to undress, already feeling myself get hard.
