Guys, I rated this M, it's gonna be M.
All rights of the outsiders belong to S.E. Hinton. I own merely a few select characters, such as Valery and Darlene, but that's it.
"Why do you do that?" Valery heard Darry ask one morning. Valery was sitting on the Curtis's couch. Everyone was gone-the parents were at work. Soda, Steve, Ponyboy, Johnny and Two-Bit were at school. Darry had the day off from his college courses and from his part-time construction job, and Valery wasn't working again until Monday, so they decided to spend the day together. It was only just after breakfast, and everyone had left in such a rush it left Darry and Valery to just mull around and be lazy until they figured out what exactly they were gonna do. That day.
"Do what?" she asked absently as her eyes ventured down the paper.
"You know what." he said.
She sighed, sipped her cup of coffee and said, "Pretend I don't."
Darry rolled his eyes, "Why do you do that? Read obituaries, is what I mean."
She shrugged, "Why not?"
"Because it's depressing."
Valery shrugged, "No one ever reads obituaries for the right reason. What does it matter if I do it just for the sake of it? Just so the lonely people who died, the ones who don't have anyone, can have someone feeling sorry and sad that they died. Everyone needs someone, and if people who don't have anyone… If they die, at least they can look down from Heaven and smile that I'm being sad over their deaths."
Darry smiled weakly at her, "I never thought of it that way."
"No one ever thinks of anything the way I think of stuff."
He grinned at her, "Valery Mariah Cade, you may be the most original, carefree, adorable woman I've ever met."
She looked up and grinned back at him, "Darrel Shayne Curtis Jr." she addressed him, "You may be the most hard-working, stubborn, self-preserving man I've ever met." she said. He frowned, and she took his hand, "And I love you so much, you know that?"
He smiled and kissed her knuckles affectionately, "I love you, too."
Valery pulled her hand away but Darry pulled all of her back to him just as quick. The newspaper dropped onto the floor as Darry slid his girlfriend onto his lap. He placed several light kisses on her lips before she captured his with her own, deepening the long-awaited kiss.
She sighed in pleasure, but knew she had to pull away. "So what are we gonna do today?" she asked, still sitting on Darry's lap, her face buried in his neck.
He shrugged, "We could go to the Dingo. Get some lunch." She nodded and smiled at how simple life was becoming. But then, "Can I ask you about something?"
She shrugged and looked up at him, "Sure."
He looked her in the eyes and said, "What did your parents want that one day."
She knew exactly what he was talking about. She sighed and climbed off of his lap. She busied herself with picking up papers and bringing their breakfast dishes to the sink, and scrubbing furiously. Darry followed her in though, intent on getting the right answer out of her since he already knew. No way she was lying to him about this.
He looked at her expectantly and leaned against the counter. She shrugged, "It was nothing."
"It ain't seeming like nothing."
"Well, Darry, it is nothing."
"What happened?" he prodded, his voice much gentler than it usually was with anyone.
"Darry," she sighed, finishing washing the dishes, "If you ask me again, I'll slap you."
"You can tell me anything." he said sincerely. She didn't say anything at she dried her hands on a towel. "Val?" Darry asked. Valery growled and ran a hand through her course hair.
"You know, Darry, maybe I just don't really want to tell you!"
"Well, I'm your boyfriend, you can't keep secrets from me." Valery didn't reply, she just kept cleaning up. Darry sighed, frustrated, "Val, I will threaten you!"
She turned to him and raised an eyebrow, "Yeah? With what?"
Darry wasn't sure, so he said, "Valery, tell me now."
Valery looked down, and sighed, "Alright… Alright, fine. My parents kicked me out." she told him. Darry opened his mouth to tell her to stay there, at the Curtis's house, but she knew what he was going to say and cut him off, "But I have all my junk in a closet at Darlene's place. So yeah."
"Val, move here." he insisted, "You live here pretty much all the time anyways. What's wrong with having your stuff here too?"
"It's…" she shrugged.
"What? Too much of a commitment? Valery, we've been dating for three years."
"No, not commitment… Just… I don't wanna be a burden on you guys."
"You won't be, Val. I swear. My parents love you, you know that."
"I know, but still. I can't just intrude."
"I want you to intrude, Val." Darry smiled and took her hand, "Valery, please move in with me, please move in here."
She smiled weakly, "Is there enough room?"
He nodded, "Of course there is."
Valery grinned at him and kissed his cheek, "Alright… I'll get my stuff from Darlene's later."
"We could do it today."
"You'd be up to it?"
Darry nodded, "Of course."
"Alright. Let me go shower and change." Valery had woken up after everyone else that morning, and when she did wake up everyone but Darry was gone, so she didn't feel the need to put on pajama pants under the oversized t-shirt of Darry's she wore.
Darry followed her into the bathroom and smiled at her as she began to unbutton the shirt, putting on a show for him. He licked his lips, which she saw, and she said, "You know, I'm not intentionally trying to put on a show for you."
He smiled, "Intentional or not, it's a show."
Valery rolled her eyes and the shirt slid to the floor, leaving her in only a pair of black panties. Darry smiled and went toward her. He had pulled off his shirt and now he was kissing Valery lightly on the lips. His lips left hers and went down to her neck, and he made her tremble in his arms, which were wrapped around her waist securely. His fingers started drawing small shapes on the bare skin of her side.
Valery moaned breathlessly into his hair as he nipped at the flesh of her neck. Darry's lips went to her ear and he breathed, "Shoot, Val… You're so beautiful…"
She couldn't say anything because his fingers were massaging her lower back. It was interesting to her how even after so many years of being with Darry, he could still make her speechless. He could still send shivers down her spine and make her have butterflies. He could still shoot sparks through her and make fireworks go off. He still made her fall in love with him over and over again.
His thumbs hooked on the waistband of her underwear, and once he pulled them off of her, Darry picked her up swiftly. He set her on to counter of the bathroom, and admired her naked form with great taste.
Valery smiled at him. Her legs were spread sexily and her chest was heaving up and down. It was all her could do for Darry to not rip his pants off and take her there. Instead, he slowly unzipped his jeans and slid out of them, leaving him in his tented boxers.
Valery took his hand and pulled her to him. He settled between her legs and cupped her face with both of his hands. His kissed her warmly and passionately. He barely noticed as she pulled down his boxers and discarded them.
"Darry," Valery whispered, breaking the kiss and looking into his eyes. Darry smiled and guided himself into her. He entered slowly but surely. Valery moaned his name out as he filled her up and stretched her. Darry smiled and nuzzled his face into her neck. He kissed and suckled on her skin as he had her wrap her legs around his waist tightly and her arms around his neck. She buried her hands in his dark brown hair.
His hands ventured to her neglected breasts. He had barely touched them once, and it was his time now. He cupped one with one hand and tweaked her nipple on the other one. Valery moaned at his sensations and her began to pump his hips. He made her dizzy with pleasure by doing these things. Paying attention to her breasts at the same time as thrusting in and out of her.
"Valery," he groaned against her skin, "Val, I…"
"I love you, Darry." she whispered breathlessly.
"I love you too." he moaned as her walls contracted against him. He brought his hand down to rub her nub, and she moaned loudly. It was a good thing no one was home or everyone would be able to hear them.
They finished soon and got into the shower together. It was a romantic shower with no sex, but a lot of kissing. They waked into Darry's bedroom wrapped in towels and they got dressed and ready for the day.
"You know," Valery said as they walked out the door to head to the Merrill's, "Sex in that bathroom is becoming a lot more common lately."
Darry smiled and nodded. "I like it."
Valery laughed as they walked to his truck. "I do, too."
"I would stay in bed with you all day if we could do that."
She smiled at him and climbed into the passenger's seat, "That can be arranged after we get all my stuff."
His eyes lit up, "Really?" She nodded. "then what are we waiting for?" he asked, flouring the engine and taking off, speeding down the road.
I wanted to show a lotta love in this chapter. Do you think I succeeded?
