((Ponyboy's POV))

"Alright well I got work early in the morning, so I'm going to bed, and Soda, I'm serious none of that." Darry said as Soda attempted to sneak a kiss.

"Darry.." Soda sighed.

"And if you had any sense in you, you'd go to bed too. You got work tomorrow too." Darry said

"What you don't trust me, Darry?" Kristina said putting on her best innocent face.

He stared at her for a second. "No."

She pouted.

"Don't worry Darry, we got Ponyboy here." Soda said he said messing up my hair.

"Glad I can be your chastity belt." I said sarcastically.

"That's not what he meant." She said touching my shoulder. Aw man she is touching me. Breathe, breathe, breathe.

"Actually.." Soda started and Kristina hit him.

"Okay okay, Darry I promise we'll be good." Soda said solemnly and nodded at Darry to seal the deal.

"Alright little buddy I'll see you in the morning. Night guys." Darry said and went into his room.

"Okay now the fun begins!" Soda said and grabbed Kristina's face to pull her in for a kiss.

"What about your promise?" she asked.

"What? I am being good. I'm always good." Soda said winking.

"Oh you're bad." She said grinning evilly and pulled him in for a kiss.

Then there was another knock on the door.

They didn't move at all. A second knock.

"Don't worry! I got it! No really don't move!" I said sarcastically as they continued making out.

I opened the door and saw Steve standing there looking pretty pissed off.

He just walked in. "Hey Soda can I crash here tonight?" he said not even acknowledging their kissing.

"No." Soda said in between breaths.

Kristina pulled away, and Soda sighed in frustration glaring at Steve.

"Hey Stevie." Kristina said wiping the curves of her lips.

"Hey. So I can stay?" Steve repeated.

"Yeah, yeah. What happened this time?" Soda asked referring to Steve and his dad.

"Says I stole money from him, just being an asshole." Steve said lighting a smoke.

"Who?" Kristina asked.

"My dad or as I like to call him.. asshole." Steve said taking in a drag.

"Oh well its okay buddy, I'm staying the night too." She said smiling.

"Oh was I interrupting something?" Steve asked.

"Well actually.." Soda started.

"No? Okay good." Steve said plopping down on our armchair.

"Typical Steve." Soda said shaking his head but he was smiling.

"Thanks I'll take that as a compliment." Steve said tossing his cigarette out the window.

"So Kristina you gonna sleep with me?" Steve said winking.

"Shut up Steve." Soda said.

"On the couch I meant, my god Soda you and your sick ,sick mind." Steve said grinning evilly.

"Yeah I bet." Soda said.

"Aww Stevie's like my brother." Kristina said pretending to squeeze his cheeks.

"I hate you." He said glaring.

"Did you and Evie have a fight or somethin'? Soda asked standing up and stretching.

"No, not anymore than the usual fighting.. why?" he asked.

"Oh I don't know just the fact you're trying to sleep with my girlfriend?" Soda said with fake seriousness.

"Since when did I ever let Evie hold me back? Come on now." Steve said smirking.

"Aw Steve you be nice to that girl." Kristina said smacking him softly in the stomach.

"Why?"

"Because she's your girlfriend." She said shrugging.

"I think you want to be my girlfriend." Steve said matter-of-factly.

"God Pony, why did you tell Steve my secret?" she asked me sarcastically.

"I dunno it was too big to keep all to myself." I said.

"And this whole time I thought you liked me." Soda said walking into the bathroom.

"Nah you were just my decoy boyfriend." She said winking.

"I knew it the whole time." Steve said.

"Here I got a present for ya." Kristina said leaning down next to Steve.

"What's that?" he asked.

"MUAH!" she said and kissed him hard on his cheek. "And that's the most you're getting out of me, Randle."

"I'll take it." He said.

"Well since I worry for you being alone in a room with Steve I think I'm going to sleep out here tonight too." Soda said pulling out a sleeping bag.

"Soda no you should get a good night sleep if you have work in the morning." Kristina said.

"Well I wasn't ever really planning on getting a good night sleep either way, Steve just changed my reasoning." Soda said glaring at Steve and in response Steve popped open a beer and held it up in cheers to Soda.

"Yeah you wish Pepsi Cola." She said giving him a peck on the lips.

"Don't we all." Darry yelled from his room.

"Yeah that's Darry's way of saying shut up." Soda whispered.

"Okay.." she whispered.

"Well atleast take the couch." She said taking the sleeping bag.

"No you take the couch you're my guest." He said taking back the sleeping bag.

"Yeah the uninvited guest." She said trying to get it back.

"You're always invited." Soda said still holding it.

"Aw isn't that sweet. I'll take the couch." Steve said lying down on the couch.

Soda rolled his eyes then they suddenly lit up.

"We could share the sleeping bag." He said grinning.

"Oh I don't know Soda.." she started.

"No I swear, we'll just sleep." He said.

"Yeah okay!" Steve yelled.

They ignored him.

"Just sleep.. you promise?" she asked.

"I promise."

"Okay..we'll share." She said taking the sleeping bag and he finally let her have it.

"Oh yeah by the way can I borrow some clothes to change into?" she asked.

"Yeah I'll be right back." He said going into our room.

"So Kristina.." Steve said once Soda left the room.

"So Randy.." she said.

"Just how many guys have you slept with anyway?" he asked wiggling his eyebrows.

"Geez by this point I've lost count." She said.

"Really?" he asked impressed.

"No."

"I hate you." He said again taking another swig of beer.

"Oh but I do love you." She said scrunching up her face.

"Soda you're girlfriend's hitting on me again!" he yelled.

"Yeah no one likes a liar Steve. Anyway here you go." He said handing her a pair of his flannel pants and a t-shirt.

"Thanks." She said and went in the bathroom to get changed.

"Anyway.. I saw Shepherd today, said some Socs keep messing with his girl." Steve said.

"What he do to them?" Soda asked.

"They're fighting tomorrow night outside the Dingo." He said taking another swig.

"Skins?" Soda asked.

Steve nodded.

Kristina came out with the drawstring pulled as tight as it could go but they were still about 2 feet too long and the shirt was pretty huge but she looked real cute like that.

"Well you should atleast be comfortable." Soda said laughing at how big they looked.

"They smell good." She said lifting up the top of his shirt and taking a sniff.

"Hey what can I say?" he said.

"Nothing I'm trying to sleep." Steve said now practically passed out on the couch.

"Alright I'm going to head to bed too." I said getting up.

"Night Pony." Kristina said.

"Later bud." Soda said ruffling my hair.
