Chapter 7: Bittersweet

It's been two weeks since Darry laid down his rules and Pony and I have been following them well. We've only slipped up a couple times so far but the second slip wasn't my fault. The second time happened due to Pony pinching my butt while the gang was around.

"Pony, stop it!" I quietly scolded only to get a giggle from him.

"What?" Pony asked and pinched my rear again.

"Stop that!" I muttered and slapped his hand away.

"Why? Is it bothering you?" Pony teased and I scowled at him.

"Do it again, I dare you." I threatened and watched him.

Pony pinched me again and I grabbed his wrist. I looked around for anyone and saw all of the gang was in the kitchen. I dragged Pony into the hallway and pinned him.

"What are you going to do to me?" Pony asked, he had a smirk on his face.

"Whatever I deem is necessary." I muttered and kissed him softly.

Pony returned the kiss as I slipped my hands under his shirt. He shivered from my touch as I moved my hands to his chest. He gasped when I pinched his nipple; I pulled out of the kiss and smirked at him.

"N-No fair, you know I'm sensitive there!" Pony muttered and scowled at me.

"That's what you get for pinching my butt!" I retorted and rubbed his nipples.

Pony panted and whimpered from my touch, I licked his neck and softly bit down. He bit down on his lip and muffled his moans. I deeply kissed him as I pressed myself against him; Pony ran his fingers through my hair.

"What are you guys doing?" Darry asked, I quickly pulled my hands from underneath Pony's shirt and pulled away.

"U-Umm..." I muttered and coughed.

"The gang is in the other room, you guys are pushing it!" Darry warned and Pony groaned.

"Pony started it when he kept pinching my butt!" I whined and Pony glared at me.

"You pinched my nipple!" Pony exclaimed and Darry shushed him.

"Be quiet! Now, you guys either stop it or go to the bedroom!" Darry stated.

"Okay, Dar. I'm sorry." I apologized and glared at Pony.

"What? You have a cute butt." Pony muttered and walked into the living room.
I sighed heavily and followed, think of a thousand different ways I could get him back later that night. I have to say, I think I did a good job at getting him back.

Anyway, It was late in the evening now and all of the gang was here again. Everyone was in the kitchen except me, Pony and Two-Bit. All three of us were sitting on the couch when Pony tapped me on the shoulder. I looked over at him and he was smirking at me.

"What?" I whispered, looking over at Two-Bit who was sitting on the other side of the couch.

"I'm having…urges..." Pony whispered and I blushed.

"Pony, really?" I asked and sighed.
"Soda, please?" Pony begged.

"Ugh, fine, let's go take care of you." I muttered and stood, walking to our bedroom.

Pony was right behind me but I felt like Two-Bit was watching us leave which made me nervous. I closed the bedroom door behind us and turned to Pony, he was smirking at me. I wrapped my arms around his waist and kissed him, loving the feeling of his lips against mine. Pony returned the kiss and wrapped his arms around my neck, pressing his body against mine. I slid my hands down his waist to his hips, caressing them. Pony pulled out of the kiss and looked at me longingly, I smiled softly at him.

"I love you, Soda." Pony muttered and nuzzled me.

"I love you too, Pony." I muttered and softly kissed him on the neck.

Pony moaned as I slid my hands under his shirt, softly rubbing his sides. I licked his neck slowly up to his chin, causing him to gasp softly and pant.

"S-Soda..." Pony moaned and clawed my shirt.

"Hmm?" I hummed and left a soft kiss on his neck.

"I need you." Pony muttered and I left a soft kiss on his lips, slowly pushing him toward the bed.

I pushed Pony onto the bed and crawled on top of him. Pony shyly looked up at me as I unbuttoned and unzipped his pants, sliding my hand into his boxers. I grasped his member and slowly rubbed it, causing Pony to moan. I softly kissed him on the forehead and rubbed his erection faster. Pony panted heavily and whimpered,

"Soda!" Pony moaned as I softly kissed him.

I had a horrible feeling in my stomach but brushed it away so I could please Pony's needs. Pony was clawing at the bed sheets as he panted heavily.

"S-Soda, I'm gonna c-cum..." Pony panted and kissed me.

I smiled softly and kept jerking him off, quickening my pace as his panting quickened.

"Oh God, Soda!" Pony exclaimed and came, all over my hand.

Right as Pony had his orgasm, I heard the bedroom door open. I froze and looked back at the door and saw Two-Bit standing there. His grey eyes were wide as he looked over me and Pony.

"Two-Bit, it's not what it looks like!" I exclaimed and ripped my hand from Pony's pants, wiping his cum off on my pants.

"Then what is it?!" Two-Bit exclaimed and backed away from the doorway.
I jumped off the bed and walked toward him, "Two-Bit, please, listen to me!" I begged and he shook his head.

"No…this..this is wrong.." Two-Bit muttered and slowly backed away from me.

"Two-Bit, I'm serious, I can explain everything if you give me a moment." I muttered and Two-Bit shook his head once again.

"You sick fucker!" Two-Bit yelled and ran toward the kitchen.

"Keith!" I yelled and ran after him, completely horrified.

Everyone was staring at me and Two-Bit. Two-Bit opened his mouth but I tackled him, "No, Keith, please!" I begged and he pushed me off and stood up.

"Darrel Curtis, do you have any idea what your brother's are doing?!" Two-Bit screamed and pointed at me.

I scanned the room and saw everyone's eyes were on me, I gulped. Darry stepped up to Two-Bit and I saw Pony was standing in the doorway of the kitchen.

"What do you mean, Keith?" Darry asked, looking directly into Two-Bit's eyes.

"I walked in on them doing…God; it makes me sick just to remember!" Two-Bit yelled and I went to Pony's side.

"Well, you're going to have to explain to me what you saw." Darry muttered, he was strangely calm.

"Soda had his hand shoved in Pony's pants!" Two-Bit said and retched.

Everyone looked over at me and Pony; Dallas seemed more confused rather than angry. Everyone seemed more confused over than being disgusted or upset.

Darry nodded, "I know what they're doing, Keith."

"Then how can you let them do this?!" Two-Bit exclaimed and Pony whimpered.

I looked over at Pony, "shh, Pony, it's okay." I whispered and hugged him.

"It's none of my business; I told them that they could do this as long as it wasn't in front of me or you guys." Darry explained and Two-Bit looked offended.

"Don't tell me you're a part of this!" Two-Bit said as he slightly backed away from Darry.

"What? No, I'm not." Darry defended and Pony sobbed into my chest.

Darry looked over at Pony and looked back at Two-Bit, "Keith, I'm going to have to ask you to leave."

"What?"Two-Bit asked, shocked.

"You're upsetting my brothers and I don't like it. Leave my house." Darry demanded.

"I'm upsetting them?" Two-Bit laughed, "Why aren't you upset about what they're doing?"

"I told you why. Now, get out of my house." Darry demanded once again.

Two-Bit looked over at me and Pony, seething hatred were in his eyes. I shivered from his stare and held Pony close to me, he was sobbing into my chest. Two-Bit focused on Pony, his eyes softened.

"Pony, come on, look at me..." he begged and Pony slowly looked up at Two-Bit, sniffling.

"I've got a question." Two-Bit stated and Pony nodded, slowly.

"How do you know he's not just using you?" Two-Bit asked and his question infuriated me.
"Get out." I demanded and he looked at me in shock.

"What?" he asked.

"I said get out! How dare you accuse me of using Pony?" I screamed and let go of Pony.

I stomped over to Two-Bit and pushed him toward the front door, "get out!"

Two-Bit growled at me and walked toward the front door, violently opening while glancing over at me.

"This doesn't change you're a sick fuck!" Two-Bit yelled and ran out of the house, slamming the door extra hard and caused a picture frame to fall off the wall.

Johnny seemed to flinch extra hard at the slamming of the door but then focused on Pony. Pony was trying to hide his tears from everyone but then he ran out of the room. I sighed heavily and looked over at Darry, "I'm going to go help him."

Darry nodded and I left the room, making my way to the bedroom. Pony was laying face down on the bed, sobbing heavily into a pillow. I slowly approached him and sat on the bed, he looked up at me.

"S-Soda.." he whimpered and hugged me, sobbing into the nape of my neck.

My heart broke from seeing Pony so upset though I couldn't blame him. Two-Bit is like his second best friend and this happened to him, I sighed. Pony sat by me on the bed and wiped his eyes, softly sniffling.

"Soda..?" Pony asked.

"Yeah?" I asked and softly ran my hand over his cheek.

"I-I love you no matter what anyone in the gang says, you mean so much to me a-and if I have to lose Two-Bit then I lose him." Pony said and kissed me.

"Pony, I love you too but you shouldn't lose friends over me..." I muttered.

Darry walked into the room and I looked over at him, Pony stared down at the bed.

"Did everyone leave?" I asked, sure that everyone had abandoned us.

"No, everyone's still here." Darry said and I felt amazed.

"Really?" Pony said, completely astonished.

"Yeah, they only want to ask some questions." Darry muttered and I sighed heavily, feeling some slight relief.

"I told them to wait till some other time, you guys need some time to yourselves," Darry smiled softly at us.

"You guys better get some sleep; I'll make sure no one messes with you." Darry muttered, soothingly.

I nodded and smiled at him, "thank you, Dar."

"No problem." Darry said and closed the door.

Pony hugged me tightly and I returned the hug. I smiled and yawned.

"You tired?" Pony asked and I nodded.

"We better get to sleep like Darry said," Pony kicked off his shoes.

"Yeah..." I whispered and kicked off my shoes and took off my jeans.

Pony crawled under the blanket and I went to switch off the light, I walked back to the bed and crawled under the blanket. I brought Pony into a hug and left a kiss on his head, he giggled.

"I love you, Pony." I whispered and ran my fingers through his hair.

"I love you too, Soda...forever..." Pony whispered and closed his eyes.

I sat awake for a moment, holding Pony in my arms. I thought about how Two-Bit reacted and thought of what he's going to do now. I sighed softly, I felt like I lost a friend and there was nothing I could do to fix it. I wasn't going to give up my love for Pony, it wasn't worth it. I slowly shut my eyes, slowly drifting off to sleep.
