Chapter 15

Johnny and Darry

Darry collapsed next to Johnny pulling the younger into his arms. They had figured out a way to keep Johnny from screaming, considering the only time he was really loud was when he came there was a pillow that he would scream into. Ever since the night Johnny decided enough was enough they had basically quite fighting. Things were damn near perfect for the two.

"Johnny, I love you" Darry whispered into his ear.

"I love you, too." Johnny said half asleep.

"What do you want for your birthday?" Darry asked. Johnny's birthday was exactly a week away and the younger had been avoiding the question.

"Darry, please I don't want anything I'm good." Johnny said waking up a little at the question.

"Baby please just tell me an idea." Darry said biting at Johnny's ear.

"Fine, I would love for all of us to just be together and celebrate my birthday as a gang. That's it no gifts just all of us having a good time together." Johnny said exasperated. "Now can I go to sleep?"

"What is the matter, babe?" Darry asked.

"Nothing, Dar I'm sorry I didn't mean to snap. I just absolutely hate my birthday. It never ends up being good and I would just rather forget about it." Johnny buried his head in the groove of neck desperately trying to get Darry to forget about the conversation and just go to bed.

"Alright babe we won't make it a big thing then." Darry said pulling Johnny closer and lying down for the night. Darry was going through what he could do that would turn everything around for the boy. No man, Johnny had seen so much and grown up so much he was so different and he needs someone to show him how special. Darry fell asleep knowing exactly what he would do for his man's birthday, he just needed the gang's help.

*one week later*

Darry had taken the day off but left not telling Johnny that he had making the boy believe he had went to work. Pony was to get Johnny out of the house at a decent hour so that Darry could come back and get ready for the surprise. Nothing big Johnny had distinctly told him what he wanted and he was going to make sure that happened. The trick was to get Two-Bit there somehow. With all the problems and everything that had happened as of late Darry had to go pick up everyone so that they won't be walking in the open, especially Two-Bit. Two-bit won't show it but he couldn't even step outside without Dally being there with him. He had been hauled up in Dally's apartment for most of the week that the boy had been out of the hospital. Dally got to Dallas's apartment and walked in.

"Hey boys you almost ready to go?" Darry called out. The only answer he received was a groan. Fearing the worst (that he walked in on something) he backed up to the door not wanting to hear anymore but Two-Bit walked out.

"I am but Dallas won't get out of bed. Give me a few." Darry nodded and Two-Bit disappeared back into the room. The next thing he heard was a loud thump and Dallas was standing outside of the room glaring daggers at Two-Bit who lazily strolled out.

"Umm...Dally you might want to get a shower and some clothes." Two-Bit said laughing. Dally looked down realizing his nakedness and scurried into the bedroom giving Two-Bit a dirty look. Twenty minutes later all the boys were getting into Darry's truck and making their way to the store.

"Dally we'll have to split up you take Two-Bit and get the decorations and I'll get the food. Meet back here in like ten?" Dally nodded and wrapped his arm around Two-Bit's neck and walked away. Darry started off for the meat, their dinner was going to be something that was a rarity around the Curtis home…steak. Normally Darry would not have wasted his money on something so expensive but when he talked to his brothers they all agreed it should be something extremely special for their friend. After all a boy who doesn't like his own birthday is not allowed. After Darry got the steaks he made his way through the aisles for potatoes and vegetables. Once he was through he made his way over to where he was to meet Dally and Two-Bit.

*Rewind and switch to Dally/Two-Bit*

"Hey babe, what all do we need?" Two-Bit asked. He was feeling a little jumpy being out in the open like this.

"Just something that says Happy Birthday nothing too big and candles for the cake Soda is making." Dally asked pulling the younger closer. As they walked through the aisles to grab what they needed they ran into a girl.

"Hey Two-Bit! How've been?" Two-Bit pulled a cocky smile up on his face to mask the fear that was in his eyes.

"Not bad sweet thang. Where ya been hiding?" The girl smiled and giggled a little before answering.

"No where but I thought it was you that been hiding?" Two-Bit froze and Dally felt him tense up. "I hear ya been too damn scared to leave your house. Is it true?"

"Na just have way better things to do." Two-Bit bit out.

"Oh that's right your prefrences have changed. Who woulda thought the great womanizer Two-Bit liked it up the ass. I'm sure you loved having that many cocks at once." Two-Bit visibly flinched and Dally saw red. "Who's your friend?"

Dally saw his chance to protect Two-Bit and he wasn't going to lose it. "I'm Dally and who might you be?"

She smiled "I'm Shannon" realization dawned on Dally this was the girl of the guy who initiated the gang rape.

"Oh, I know you." Dally said stepping forward towards her.

"Oh do you now, well then how do you know me?" She asked pushing herself into Dally's chest.

"Oh that's easy but the name threw me off I thought it was 'Star-Pleasurer' at least that's what you went by when you were working the streets. Your waring nice clothes guess you found yourself a daddy to pay for your bad habits. Does he know you still work the streets, or that your real man is a pimp, or better yet that you love to be put in your place." As Dally said the last part he grabbed her hair and pushed her to her knees. Her face went red and she could see that he could break her easily in front of everyone. By now there was a crowd and it was easy to see her discomfort and arousal. Dally bent down and whispered "trash like you belongs on the floor."

Dally stepped back wrapped his arm around Two-Bit and turned walking away from the seen. The girl, Shannon was fuming. She knew her reputation was blown and so was her cover in her new world of money as the guy who was with her had seen it and just so happened to be her 'boyfriends' brother.

They meet Darry and paid for all the items. Dally was not letting Two-Bit even an inch away from him and Darry knew he had missed something. Once in the truck Dally explained what happened and Darry put his arm on Two-Bit and nodded. Darry and Two-Bit were close, they had always been good friends and if they boy needed anything he knew he could go to Darry. Two-Bit flashed his smile and snuggled into Dally's chest. "I'm fine guys."

When they arrived at the house he sent Dallas into the house to make sure the coast was clear. When he got the signal they hauled all the groceries inside. Darry, Soda, Steve, Curly, Two-Bit, and Dally got to work putting the place together and started cooking. A little after 4 they heard voices coming up to the house, the door opened and in came a very pregnant Pony tailed by Johnny. It looked as if no one was home and Johnny sighed.

"SURPRISE!" Everyone shouted as Johnny and Pony walked into the kitchen. Pony smiled and took a seat that his boyfriend had pulled out for him. Johnny frowned for all of two minutes before smiling and hugging everyone there. He realized that he had gotten his wish a dinner, all of them, together at the same time.

"Thank you Darry." He had hugged him last. He didn't move to pull out of Darry's arms and Darry wasn't letting go.

"Happy Birthday, love" Darry whispered in his ear. The boys sat down to a wonderful meal of course when Johnny seen the steaks he yelled at all three boys for at least five minutes until Darry asked if he was going to keep yelling or eat the steak. Everyone chuckled but the glare that Dar received knew he was in the dog house.

Pretty soon everyone started breaking off into couples and leaving or finding rooms to stay. Soda and Curly made their way up to Soda's old/new bedroom, Pony went to lay down and Steve had followed a short time later. Darry had taken the truck and dropped Dally and Two-Bit off at home and Johnny was sitting alone in the living room waiting for Darry to get back. Johnny heard the door swing open and then slam shut.

"What the hell are you doing, Darry?"

"I'm not Darry"

*Sorry guys I have to end it here…love cliffhangers! Haha review please!*
