-This chap is about their first encounters, making them start to see one another in a whole new light. Sorry it's so short compared to the other chapters please review!-

Dally

Darry had asked Ponyboy and Sodapop to clean the car after having not been done for all the months of winter, seeing as how it was warmer weather; all the salt from the frozen streets caking itself to the body of the car, giving it a dingy look. Both brothers agreed to the punishment, or chore rather, and garbed themselves in old pairs of jeans rolled up to their knees, leaving their top halves exposed. The two brothers rinsed the car off; trying to get as much dirt off before sudsing it up with sponges and scrubbing it down.

"Hey Pony!" Soda shouted from the other side of the car, feeling mischievous as he gripped the hose. His brother having gained his attention, Ponyboy stood up from his squatting position in front of the fender he was busily scrubbing the gook and muck off of.

"Yea-aahH!" Ponyboy began to say but was cut off from cold water splashing against his body, making him yelp and shiver as Soda continued to spray him with the hose. Pony tried to escape, but every direction he tried to go the freezing water would fallow. "Soda!" Ponyboy screeched as he continued to run from the frigged water, not paying attention where he was running. "Ooof!" Ponyboy grunted as he collided with a rock solid body causing him to stumble backwards, his hands reaching out in front of him gripping two fistfuls of a shirt, trying to balance himself as he tried not to fall, failing miserably as he ended up tumbling backwards onto the damp ground as he pulled the owner of the shirt down with him. "Ahngh!" Pony groaned when Dallas fell on top of him, practically crushing him with his heavy weight.

"Who the FUCK wants their face kicked in!" Dally snarled as he got up, just about ready to beat the shit out of the little fuckhead that crashed into him and pulled him down into the dirt, he straddled the person below him so he could get a better look at them. His icy blue eyes glaring down at Ponyboy as he fidgeted nervously trying to get out from below him as he tried desperately to apologize to the pissed off hood.

"I-I'm sorry Dal, I didn't see- I wasn't watching where I was going, I didn't mean to run into you, I'm, I'm, I'm so sorry." Ponyboy stumbled on his words as the hood's stare intensified to a scorching scowl, leaning forward- intentionally pinning the younger greaser to the ground by his shoulders. "I didn't mean to." Pony said in a hushed tone as the hood continued to stare down at him.

'Why does it feel so good to have him beneath me? I don't wanna get up just yet; ta watch him wither and shake in fear just seems like so much fun to see, like a movie or somethin' like that.' Dallas thought as he continued to watch Ponyboy wriggle below him nervously, shifting slightly, accidentally brushing their groins together, nearly making the blond gasp as a bolt electricity shot down his spine straight to the pit of his gut, causing a weird coiling feeling in his lower region. 'What the hell was that; I only get that type of feelin' when I'm with a broad.' Dallas thought to himself, biting his lip as he tried to keep the groan that threatened to slip out concealed. "Just pay attention next time, kid." Dally ground out as he shoved himself off of the teen; abruptly trying to stop any other weird feelings or thoughts, stalking into the house, leaving the two Curtis brothers to finish cleaning the car. 'I want that feeling again, I want Pony's warmth between my legs again, I wanna see him squirmin' below me again, ta hear him plead and beg for me… What the hell am I thinkin'! Ponyboy's brothers would kill me. But damn! That feelin', it just felt so damn good that I just wanna feel it again! I. Want. Him. And I'm gonna take him.' Dallas thought maliciously.

Ponyboy

The whole gang was in the lot playing football, Two-bit, Steve, Sodapop, and Dallas against Darry, Ponyboy, and Johnny. The score was four to eight; Darry obviously winning the game for Pony and Johnny.

"Okay, I'm gonna fake it to you," Darry said, pointing to Johnny as the three of them huddled together. "Then you're gonna run down; pretending that you have the ball." the eldest Curtis instructed. "Ponyboy, stay open - I'm gonna throw it to you, make sure you're close to the goal when you turn around, kay?" Darry said as they started to break apart, lining up in their spots as they faced their opponents. "Ready! Hut, hut, hike!" Darry shouted, faking a pass to Johnny- faking out the other team as they started to chase after him, leading them to great disappointment once they found out he didn't have the ball. Ponyboy sprinted down the field, reaching the end.

"Darry!" Pony shouted, waving his arms in the air, watching as the football ripped through the air as it spiraled with a perfect arc, landing faultlessly in Ponyboy's arms, bringing it in closer to his body as he saw Dallas flitting furiously towards him from midfield. Upon seeing the raging blond, he started sprinting towards the end of the field, nearing the field goal; past the big oak tree with the tire-swing hanging from it. No matter how hard Ponyboy pounded his feet against the ground, Dally managed to catch up to him until finally tackling the little auburn greaser- sadly for the hood he had already made the touchdown. "Ahghh!" Ponyboy groaned as Dally's body smashed against his, casting them both to fall in a heap on the hard ground.

"Damn kid, ya got a freakin' windup key in your back or somethin'? You're hard as hell ta catch." Dallas spat, the closest thing to a complement he could ever give. "No wonder you're not interested in girls yet, ya don't stay around long enough ta even let them touch you." Dally teased as he got off of the small greaser, making Ponyboy flush lightly; no one in the gang had ever complimented him on his running- even though Dally was teasing him more than anything than complimenting him, but he understood what the hood was trying to say.

Thanks for reading! Ponyboy is so modest compared to Dally; I think that's what makes this chapter kind of cute.
