Darry clambered his way out of his room, no matter how young his body was it always managed to creek like old wooden floorboards every morning as he would make his way around the house.

"Hey." a familiar gruff voice rang through his ears as he clunked down the stairs in his dirt caked work boots. Looking towards the couch he found Dallas Winston sitting down in just his jeans reading the newspaper.

"Hi." he returned tiredly as he shuffled into the kitchen to fix himself something to eat. "Hey Dal, ya mind watching Ponyboy for a few days, mine and Soda's schedules are pretty packed." Darry said to the blond hood as he gathered his things for the workday.

"Well, seein' as how I'm still not allowed back at Buck's for the time bein', I guess I could watch the kid." Dally said nonchalantly as he got up from the couch. 'Anything to give me a reason to stay a few nights with Pony, right.' Dally thought, a smirk slicing his lips as he plopped the paper down on the table.

"Soda! Ponyboy! Wake up!" Darry hollered from the kitchen as he began to make breakfast for his younger brothers and guest. The sudden clamber and the pounding of feet against the floor boards arose through the house, fallowed by a few hushed curses when a loud crash emitted from upstairs. "Don't break anything! Hurry up and get down here, your food's gonna get cold!" Darry shouted as he distributed the food between the four of them.

"Sorry Dar, I promised I'd be in for work early, and I'm already kind of late, so I'm not stayin' and havin' breakfast!" Sodapop shouted from upstairs as he got dressed hurriedly.

"Is Ponyboy even up yet?" Darry shouted as he took the chocolate cake out of the fridge, placing it on the table.

"Uhh, not really!" Soda hollered as he sprinted down the stairs and out the door, starting the car up. "Hurry up Dar!" Soda shouted from the car, honking the horn.

"Better go before the kid takes off without me." Darry mumbled to no one in particular as he gathered his and Soda's food together before heading out the door. "Make sure Pony gets up." Darry said to the blond before finally leaving with Sodapop.

"Yeah." Dally mumbled in response even though Darry was already gone, making his way up the stairs with heavy steps. Making it to the bedroom of the two Curtis brothers, the blonde stepped through the doorway, gazing at the sleeping auburn. The covers having been kicked off of him and onto the floor along with his baggy night shirt due to the warm night, revealing his soft chest which rose and fell gently with each breath the teen took. His icy blue eyes seeping in the sight of how his long ungreased tousled locks spread across the white pillow like fire in the sunlight as it streamed in through the window. Dallas walked over to the bed, his steps soft and quiet, being sure not to wake him as he carefully and slowly straddled the slim teen. Leaning over the small form beneath him as his arms supported his upper body, watching as the young greaser's long dark eye lashes fluttered slowly like a moth's wings as his emerald eyes peeked from behind them as he began to awaken.

"Mornin'." Dallas purred next to Pony's ear, making the teen gasp in surprise.

"Dally? What are you doin' up here?" Ponyboy asked groggily as he rubbed the crust from his eyes.

"What, can't I come into your room when ever I feel like without bein' asked why or what am I doin' there?" Dally asked with sarcasm lacing through each word he spoke as he nuzzled the teen's soft neck.

"Not really." Pony said bluntly as yawned, stretching his arms out.

"Nah, Darry wanted me ta wake you up." Dallas said as he leaned over the small greaser staring down at him with his icy blue eyes before capturing the boy's soft lips with his own, making the younger teen gasp, giving the blond the perfect opportunity to slide his tongue into the auburn's warm mouth.

"Mnn! No, I have morning breath!" Ponyboy nearly shrieked as he pressed his hands firmly against the hood's chest, prying the blonde's mouth off of his.

"Trust me Pony, my tongue has been in far worst places than a mouth with morning breath." Dallas said almost bragging; making the younger teen blush, leaning back down to recapture the boy's lips, having been allowed to slip his tongue in this time without being shoved off. Sadly for them their kiss was soon ended from Two-Bit barging through the front door with Johnny in tow.

"Hellloo!" Two-Bit yelled "Ponyboy you up yet, I don't wanna get yelled at by Darry that ya didn't go to school because you didn't want ta get up." the older greaser yelled up to his younger friend as he rummaged through the fridge.

"Yeah I'm up." Ponyboy practically groaned as he rolled out of bed, gathering his clothes before heading off to the bathroom to take a shower. Seeing no point in being up stairs, Dally sauntered his way down into the kitchen.

"Hey Dal." Johnny said as he nibbled on his rather large slice of cake; obviously having been cut by Two-Bit.

"Hey Johnnycakes." Dallas said as he ruffled the kids dark greased locks before cutting himself a slice, giving Two-Bit a glare, which was returned with a mock scowl.

"Pony, get down here, we gotta get ta school!" Two-Bit shouted, not wanting to be in the same house as the person that wanted to kill him for just looking at the small greaser the wrong way.

"Two-Bit, since when did you care about school?" Ponyboy shouted from upstairs as he got dressed, having been done with his shower.

'Ever since Dally wanted ta kill me.' Two-Bit thought, staring at the blonde cautiously. "Just hurry up and get down here ya prima donna and quit primping yourself, its no use sista!" Two-Bit shouted, earning him a 'Hey!' from Ponyboy.

"There! Ya happy now?" Ponyboy said, nearly stomping into the kitchen, clad in a somewhat new pair of jeans, a dingy green t-shirt, and his old pair of white tennis shoes, and as always, his auburn hair greased back to perfection. After wolfing down his breakfast, he dashed back upstairs brushed his teeth and grabbed his books before heading out the door with his two friends.

"Bye honey, see you when I get home!" Two-Bit shouted as he put his arm around Pony's shoulders to Dallas who was standing on the porch , earning him a cold scowl and the middle finger along with a few low curses from the blonde. His icy blue eyes watching as the three of them took off. Deciding that staying in a house all day was a waste of time that he didn't feel like wasting, he came to settle on the thought of going over to Tim's.

'Two-Bit better not even fuckin' think about touchin' Ponyboy again, let alone think about him.' Dally thought bitterly 'I aught'a kick his ass; fuckin' clown.' When Dally came back from his bitter thoughts of his friend, he found himself walking through Tim Shepard's front door, not givin' two shits that he didn't knock first; neither did Tim who was playing pool in the living room.

"Hey Winston." Tim nodded his head at his friend as he continued to knock the billiard balls around on the raggedy, green-meshed table topped, pool table. "Haven't seen you 'round here in a long time." Tim said, catching the blonde's attention.

"Why, did ya miss me since my last visit?" Dally teased as he plopped down onto the couch, knowing full well what their last experience with one another was like, bringing a smirk the other hood's face.

"'Miss' wouldn't be the word I would use." Tim countered as he set the pool stick down on the table, walking over to the blond.

"So, crave, need, long, and yearn would be more around the lines, right?" Dally asked slyly, looking up at his friend as he loomed over him.

"Do you ever shut the hell up?" Tim snarled before gripping a fist full of wispy blond locks, pulling the smaller hood's head back with a sharp yank, crushing their lips together in a rough kiss as he straddled the blond, running his hand up the blonde's side as his other hand flew south to the front of the blonde's pants, biting the blondes bottom lip, pulling up as he began to grind the piece of flesh between his teeth, making the hood hiss lightly as blood began to seep out of his bottom lip. Before the Shepard gang leader could go any further, the blonde stopped him.

"When I want to." Dallas sneered as he shoved his friend off of him roughly, causing Tim to fall backwards onto the couch.

"So what you doin' with the Curtis kid?" Tim asked bluntly as the blond hood lit up a cigarette.

"Why, you jealous?" Dallas teased, flicking his ashes at the other hood.

"Na, just curious is all." Tim admitted with a shrug.

"Curiosity can get ya killed." Dally said through a puff of smoke, his eyes narrowing on the dark haired hood.

"I'll take my chances, why ya with 'em?" Tim asked again, snatching the weed from the blonde's fingertips, taking a long drag.

"What, you wanted ta get in his pants but I beat ya to it, is that it?" Dallas sneered, snatching his weed back. "Why do you wanna kn-" Dally began to ask but was quickly silenced by the other hood interrupting him,

"Just answer the fuckin' question." the hood seethed, fed up with the blonde's bullshit.

"Fine, ya little bitch." Dallas snarled, glaring at his friend, making Tim smirk. "He looked like a good fuck; something ta toy around with for a while, ya know." Dallas lied through his teeth; though having been a good enough of a lie since his friend bought it.

"That's some dangerous toy yer playin with." Tim smirked, taking the weed from his friend taking a quick drag before handing it back.

"What's life without livin' on the edge man?" He grinned, hiding his lie perfectly. He would never tell Tim that he actually cared about Pony and loved every single freakin' thing the kid did that made him so innocent, so everything the kid was that Dallas knew he could never be. Dallas growled, tapping the ashes off his cigarette onto the floor.

"Well, I'm gonna go barrow Buck's T-bird for awhile." Dallas stated flatly before leaving without another word.

Ponyboy sat in his fourth period class, algebra, not paying any attention to a single word the teacher was saying - having already grasped an understanding on the subject, he began to daydream, zoning out completely as he gazed out the window. Suddenly being snapped back to reality when he felt the eraser side of a pencil running up the side of his ribs lightly; eliciting a sudden jolt from the greaser, having been a very ticklish spot on him to begin with. Turning around he found an upperclassmen soc staring back at him with an almost leering type of grin. Pony's eyes went to slits before turning back around; ignoring the pest behind him. Trying to any way. The soc and a few of his friends began flicking rolled up pieces of paper at him.

'Seriously, they're stoopin' this low?' Ponyboy thought as he continued to sit through the on going attack.

"Ya know grease, its not as much fun if you just sit there. Why don't'cha move around or something, huh?" Just then the soc jabbed him in the ribs with his eraser, making the young greaser jump and squeak, causing the socs behind him to laugh. Ponyboy covered his mouth in embarrassment, not believing the noise that just came out of him, making the socs laugh.

"Let's see if we can do that again, squeak toy." the soc teased, giving Pony a new nickname before jabbing him again with the end of his pencil, getting the same reaction. Ponyboy glared back at them, only to be laughed at by the socs. Ponyboy shook his head lightly, knowing full well that if he were to fight back he would be fighting a loosing battle. Before the socs could do anything else, the bell rang, dismissing all the students to their next classes. The young greaser scurried out of his classroom, heading for his next class; gym.

"Yo, Pon! Wait up!" Two-Bit shouted from down the hallway, weaving in between the stampede of kids as they flowed out of their classrooms.

"Hey, Two-Bit." Ponyboy greeted his friend when he reached him, giving him a light smile before continuing to walk down the hallway to class.

"You think you could help me with my math homework; my mom's been naggin' at me for the past month ta get my F to a B, she must be outta her mind to think I could get anything higher than a C. It's like she thinks I'm smart or somethin'." Two-Bit huffed.

"You are smart Two-Bit, you just don't apply yourself." Ponyboy reassured his friend, trying to make him feel better.

"Apply? You mean like a job or somethin'?" Two-Bit asked, joking around the lil' Curtis a bit.

"No, to work hard or put effort and time into your work instead of flirting with all the blondes in your class." Ponyboy teased, just as a tall blonde soc walked past, catching Two-Bit's eye as he eyed her up and down.

"I don't flirt with all of them." Two-Bit retorted, his attention back on his friend.

"Yeah, just the ones that sit next to you." Ponyboy joked, a grin slipping onto his lips.

"Exactly!" Two-Bit beamed with a smile from ear to ear, making his friend laugh. "But auburns aren't bad either." Two-Bit leered slightly, trying to drop a hint. But the comment flew right over the young greaser's head.

"I haven't seen too many auburn haired girls in school, I guess they're okay." Ponyboy said, completely insensible due to his innocence. Two-Bit nearly slapped his palm to his face.

'How blind could this kid be!' Two-Bit thought, shaking his head as he stared at his friend with a slight smirk on his lips. "Well, catch ya at lunch." Two-Bit said before making his way to his class.

"See ya." Pony said before turning into the boy's locker room; rowdy and loud as always.

"Hey Ponyboy." Johnny said as his friend placed his books in the locker beside his.

"Sup Johnnycakes." Pony greeted back as he put his combination into the lock before getting changed into his gym clothes. Hearing the whistle of their gym teacher, they all filed out of the locker room and into the gym.

"Alright, listen up you little pissants." the gym teacher began "I don't wanna hear shit from your mouths about what were going to be doing today, got it?" snarled, "Got it?" he asked again when he didn't get an answer, this time a bit firmer and more demanding.

"Yes ." the whole class said in more than less enthusiastic unison.

"You're playing basketball." spit out before blowing the whistle for them to line up. He went down the line giving each person a number "One, two, one, two…" pointing to each kid as he walked by before getting to the end of the line. "All ones on this side, all twos on this side." the bulky man ordered, pointing to opposite sides of the gym, luckily for Johnny and Ponyboy, they ended up being on the same team. "Alright ladies, you all know the rules." the teacher continued to drawl on before finally starting the game, ironically enough, it was socs against greasers. Since both teams ended up beating the crap out of each other with the ball, there really wasn't much of a score. Let alone a game.

"Ya comin' Johnny?" Ponyboy said as he waited for his friend to finish getting dressed, not being able to stop himself from noticing all of the bruises and scrapes that littered his friend's torso.

"Yeah, don't get yer panties in a twist, I'm comin'." Johnny retorted as he pulled his raggedy shirt over his black mop of hair, making the younger greaser scoff at his remark as they both began to head out to Two-Bits car to go over to the little corner store for lunch.

"Hurry your ass up!" was the first thing they heard when they stepped into the parking lot, and of course no other than Steve Randle shouting it.

"Fuck off Steve." Ponyboy growled under his breath, purposely walking slower, casting Johnny a smirk when he slowed his pace down as well. Finally reaching the car after dragging their feet along "That quick enough?" Ponyboy mumbled under his breath as he got into the back seat next to Johnny, holding on for dear life as Two-Bit sped out of the parking lot. As always for lunch, candy bars and soda were on the menu. The day seemed to go rather quickly; Ponyboy was already done with school and track practice and was now on his way home, not bothering to change from his track clothes back into his regular clothes. Two-Bit had offered him a ride but he said he'd rather walk, it was a nice day any way, why spend it in a car then just takin' a stroll on home. Little to Pony's knowledge, he wasn't the only one out enjoying the evening air, a hunter green mustang was trailing him.

"Hey, greaser!" a soc shouted from the car as it drove alongside him, making Ponyboy jump. Before the socs could do or say anything else, the person in the car behind them was laying on there horn and shouting some rather impolite things at them. Ponyboy turned around to see who it was, seeing a red T-bird he figured it was Buck, seeing as how it was his car and all.

'But he usually doesn't get into it with the socials.' Ponyboy thought to himself as he watched the green mustang drive off and watching as the T-bird pulled up alongside him, only to find no other than Dallas Winston himself inside.

"Get in." Dally said bluntly as he pulled up along the sidewalk, waiting for the auburn to get in and close the door before speeding off. "Don't'cha y'know not ta walk around by yourself?" Dallas asked with a bit of venom in his voice. 'Especially in a get up like that kid, ya tryin' ta get yourself raped or somethin'?' he thought to himself as he eyed the oblivious young greaser.

"I know, I just forgot is all." Ponyboy explained with a shrug.

"Fuckin' Two-Bit could've drove you home for fucks sake, why'd ya walk?" Dallas nearly seethed at both thoughts of the socs and Two-Bit laying their hands on Pony.

"It was a nice day." Ponyboy said meekly, looking down at his feet as bowed his head like a dog would that was getting yelled at. 'Not only am I gonna get yelled at by Darry for not thinking, but now Dally too?' Ponyboy practically groaned.

"Are ya even listening ta me?" Dallas asked, a bit peeved.

"Um…" Ponyboy thought of something to say but ran out of words, 'Um' just seemed like the best answer at the moment.

"Were at yer house." Dallas said bluntly.

"Thanks." Ponyboy mumbled as he pulled on the door handle, making the door unlatch and open slightly, only to be yanked closed by Dally when he tried to get out.

"Dally, what th-, mmphh." Ponyboy began to ask as he turned around, then suddenly being grabbed by his wrist, pinned up against the door and quickly hushed by Dally's mouth over his as his tongue was molested by the blonde hood's. "Ungh, D-Dal-" was all Ponyboy could get out as he gasped for air before his lips were covered once more as his shirt began to be pushed up his abdomen. Ponyboy struggled against Dally to talk, only to be held tighter and groped more, then pulled down to the seat by his hips, making him yelp at the sudden change in position. "Nhh, Dal, I promised Two-Bit that I would help him with his homework." Ponyboy practically whimpered as the blonde attacked his neck, making it very difficult for the young greaser to concentrate as he gripped the hood's shoulders, slowly giving into the blonde.

"He can wait." Dallas growled as he pulled Pony closer to him by his calves until their bodies met; his groin pressed firmly against the auburn's backside, making Ponyboy's face flush a dark crimson red when he felt Dally's rather large excitement knocking particularly hard on his backdoor. Dallas smirked down at the flushed face beneath him, not being able to hold back a laugh as the younger teen flushed a darker shade.

"Wh-what?" Ponyboy squeaked out, feeling completely self-conscious underneath the blonde as he continued to stare down at him, making him wriggle a little, causing the blonde to moan due to the friction on his groin.

"You're so fuckin' cute." Dally groaned as he leaned down, sucking on the teen's collar bone as his hands found the waste band of the boy's track shorts, giving them a good enough of a tug to cause them to rest on the boys thighs along with his underwear.

"DALLASWINSTON!" Ponyboy screamed, a bit infuriated I guess you could say by the fact that he was practically naked in the front seat of Buck's T-bird in front of his house in broad daylight when anyone of the gang could waltz right up to the car at any second and see them.

"Damn Pony, I haven't even done anything yet and yer already screamin' my name ta the high heavens." Dally grumbled as he rubbed his sore ears, trying to ease his ringing eardrums; giving Pony the opportunity to pull his shorts and underwear up, making him blush all the more.

"I promised Two-Bit." Ponyboy said, gathering his books and opening the car door before stepping out and waiting for the blonde as he got out of the car as well and walked over to the auburn greaser, placing a kiss on the boy's forehead before walking into the house behind him.

"Hey, Ponyboy!" Two-Bit cheered from his spot in front of the T.V. before getting up and walking over to the auburn and picking him up and swinging him around the room, causing the teen to laugh.

"Hey Two-Bit." Pony said after having been set back down on his feet, only to fall backwards from dizziness into Dally's arms.

"Ooh, ya fallen head over heels for me Pony?" Two-Bit joked.

"Nah, he's faintin' from the stanky shit that keeps spewin' out yer mouth that you call jokes." Dally snarled, steadying Ponyboy back onto his feet.

"Ya sure its not the smell of that nasty skank on ya that you used ta date?" Two-Bit hissed, finally fed up with the hood and his over protectiveness of the younger greaser. 'He's my friend too, I'm allowed to interact with him; he's not your property ya damn hood.' Two-Bit thought to himself as his anger built. "No matter how many times ya scrub your skin, she's still gonna be there." Two-Bit hissed.

"Okay, kitchen now Two-Bit." Ponyboy said, shoving his friend towards the kitchen before any hell could break loose.

"What the fuck did you say, ya jive ass turkey!" Dallas shouted. Too late.

"Oh, ya didn't hear me! Maybe it's because yer head is sooo far up your ass, but I'll be nice and say it again! I said-!" Two-Bit began to shout, only to be cut off by Ponyboy.

"Guys! Quit it, we don't need any of this right now, Two-Bit, kitchen, now." Pony said in a pleading yet stern voice. 'Why are Two-Bit and Dally acting like this; they're fightin' like cats and dogs, or worse, socs and greasers almost.' Ponyboy thought to himself, almost shivering at the thought.

"Why do I-" Two-Bit began but his question was quickly knocked down.

"Now!" Ponyboy nearly growled, pointing his finger towards the kitchen, watching as the older teen slinked off with his head down and a pout on his face.

"What 'bout me? Where you gonna tell me ta go?" Dallas nearly seethed, his arms folded over his chest as he loomed over Ponyboy, seeing the younger greaser like this turned him on so badly, beckoning him to give him an order that he would refuse to fallow.

"Oh I'll tell you where you can go!" Two-Bit shouted from the kitchen.

"TWO. BIT! Turn to page 195 and start reading!" Pony shouted at his friend before walking towards the kitchen.

"Tell me." Dallas said as he grabbed a hold of the small teen, trapping him up against the wall so he couldn't walk away from him.

"Just stay out of the kitchen." Pony sighed, looking at Dally almost pleadingly. "Please."

"Fine, as long as that FUCKTARD in there! Doesn't start any shit." Purposely raising his voice for Two-Bit to hear.

"Hey, at least I'm goin' ta school unlike some dumb blonde hood!" Two-Bit retorted.

"No wonder ya only dig blonde broads, they're stupid enough ta let ya screw 'em!" Dallas shouted back.

"Wouldn't you know!" Two-Bit yelled back.

"That's it! C'mere ya fuckin' clown, I'm gonna kick your ass!" Dallas snarled as he tore out of the living room and into the kitchen.

"Dally! No!" Ponyboy shrieked as he chased after the enraged hood, diving for the blonde's legs. Dallas fell to the floor on his side with a loud crash before rolling over onto his back.

"What the fuck man." Dally groaned as he rubbed his side. Ponyboy didn't say anything, he was still in a bit of shock from what he just did to the toughest hood in Tulsa and didn't get slugged. "Fine, 'e ain't worth it." Dallas grumbled as he got up from the floor. "Only 'cause it's you." Dally whispered into Pony's ear before walking back into the living room. The rest of the night was rather peaceful in the Curtis house as Ponyboy helped and explained to Two-Bit about math before the greaser called it a night and went back to his own house.

"Can I get ya anything?" Ponyboy asked sheepishly as he walked into the living room where the blonde lay rubbing his side. 'He's so milking it, but I still feel kinda bad for doing it though.' Pony thought as he rubbed his arm gingerly, his eyes caste in a stare at the floor.

"No." Dallas grumbled, turning away from the auburn slightly, giving him the cold shoulder, a bit upset at the fact that a fourteen year old could tackle him to the ground.

'Fuckin' track team, the only thing it's good for is the outfit that Pony has ta wear.' Dallas inwardly cussed.

"Well, I'll be upstairs." Ponyboy said as he made his way up the stairs, not getting a response whatsoever from the blonde. 'Some day man.' Pony thought to himself as he got undressed as the water ran in the tub, getting ready to take a bath; too lazy and way too tired to even consider taking a shower tonight. When the water was at a decent level and temperature, Ponyboy got in, he began scrubbing himself down before rubbing the grease out of his hair as he shampooed it then rinsed off. Soaking in the warmth of the water as he closed his eyes, trying to relax. So busy enjoying his bath, the young teen didn't realize that he had company; oblivious as always as the unexpected guest began to undress and slide into the tub with him.

"It's not good ta fall asleep in a tub filled with water." a voice suddenly purred next to Ponyboy's ear, gasping as his eyes shot open with fear and surprise, only to see Dallas with a broad smirk across his lips as he watched him.

"Dally! What are you doing in here?" Ponyboy shrieked as the blonde moved in between his legs.

"Takin' a bath with ya, what does it look like I'm doin'?" Dally whispered hotly against the boy's neck before latching his mouth onto it, making the teen moan before moving his lips to the auburn's. As their kiss became more intense, Dally began to slide his hands down the boy`s sides to his hips all the way down to his ass cheeks, his finger snaking its way to Pony's tight, puckered entrance, slowly circling his finger around the rim, causing the boy to squirm at his touch.

"W- wait, before you, you know, I have to ask you something first." Ponyboy managed to say as he got enough distance between the both of them. "D-do you really like me, or are you just playing with me?" Pony said quickly, closing his eyes in embarrassment, not wanting to look at the blonde as he continued to say, "'Cause I don't wanna waste your time fallowin' you around thinking that you do." Pony bit his lip as he waited for an answer.

"Ponyboy…" he paused, "Ta tell ya the truth…" he paused again, the air seeming to get heavier and thicker by the second. "I don't like you." his voice completely honest, and his eyes showing truth; something that was never in his eyes. Ponyboy's heart dropped like a rock into the pit of his stomach, tears beginning to well up in his beautiful emerald orbs, as a painful lump started to form in his throat. Ponyboy began to get out of the tub, his hands barely gripping the sides before a cold hand grabbed a hold of his, looking up he saw Dally through teary eyes. "I can't like you," he said gently, pulling Ponyboy into his lap "if I love you." his voice was so gentle it seemed like it wasn't his. Pony's eyes lit up, he was so stunned. He couldn't believe it! He didn't even know that Dallas Winston knew the word love.

"R-really?" Ponyboy asked, almost bewildered; not believing that this was Dallas Winston - The Dallas Winston that could never love anything in this world, the same person that hated everything in this world and rebelled against anything.

"It's hard not to." Dallas said as he stroked Pony's soft cheek with his thumb as he cupped the side of his face, placing a chaste kiss on his soft lips as his hand stroked his thigh softly. "Don't go tellin' no one 'cause they go thinkin' that I'm all soft and stupid shit like that." Dallas warned, making Ponyboy laugh a little. 'You have no idea what ya do ta me; ya make me soft and hard all at once, threatenin' my reputation every time I see ya.' Dallas thought as he continued to kiss the auburn. The bath was quickly ended, both wanting to move to someplace more comfortable, which ended up being Soda's and Pony's room.

"Ungh." Ponyboy moaned softly as the hood moved in between his legs once more, continuing to kiss and caress him. Dally's hands began to wander down the boy`s sides to his hips all the way down to his ass cheeks, his finger snaking its way to Pony's tight, puckered entrance, slowly circling his finger around the rim, causing the boy to gasp at his touch.

"Ya got any lube?" Dallas asked huskily against the boys ear.

"What?" Ponyboy asked confusedly, not knowing what the hood was asking for.

"Do you have any Vaseline?" the hood asked, a bit impatient due to the state he was in.

"Yeah, Soda keeps some in a drawer of the nightstand, I don't know why though." Pony said, a bit puzzled by the question as the blonde searched for it.

"You're about to find out." Dallas growled lightly as untwisted the lid and dipped his finger in, only confusing the naïve little greaser all the more. "Spread your legs a bit more." the hood said without giving reason, watching as the auburn complied. Leaning down and capturing the boy's lips in a kiss in an attempt to distract him from his other actions below, only to feel him gasp against his lips as the cool gel touched his heated skin as he placed the tip of his finger against the rim of his anus.

"Ahn." Ponyboy groaned in slight discomfort as Dallas began to slowly circle his entrance with his finger, gently massaging it, letting him get used to the motion and feeling.

"Ah," Ponyboy gasped as the blonde pushed on the opening of his anus for a few seconds before letting up and doing it again, repeating the motion for several minutes until his opening was relaxed. "Dally." Pony grunted softly as the blonde's finger tip slipped into him, continuing with the circular motion until the auburn relaxed before going deeper.

"You okay?" Dallas asked when his whole finger was seethed inside the young greaser, noticing his discomfort, letting his finger stay lax for the auburn to get used to the size.

"Y-yeah." Ponyboy panted out, gripping the sheets lightly as the blonde continued with the same motion, rubbing the walls of his anus. "Mmnnp!" Pony grunted as Dally began to pull out, unintentionally clamping around the blonde's finger as he screwed his eyes shut and fisted his hands into the sheets in discomfort at the sudden change in motion. Relaxing when the Dallas kissed him lightly on the forehead, reassuring the young greaser before pushing back in, then out and repeating, slowly at first then getting firmer as he went deeper. "Oohhhh!" Ponyboy moaned throatily as Dally struck him a certain way, making him thrust his hips up as well. "Wh-what was that, what did y-ou do?" Pony panted out as he struggled against himself to keep his hips from thrusting against Dally; unsure of what was happening to him.

"I found your sweet spot." Dallas nearly grunted. 'Damn this kid makes the sexiest noises! Just wait 'til I'm inside ya, you'll be singing my name.' Dallas thought as he stared down at the panting teen beneath him, wanting nothing more than to just take him right then and there.

"W-hat's a sw-eet spot?" Ponyboy managed to ask as he tried not to moan, making the blonde smirk, loving the kid's ignorance more and more.

"It makes you feel real good; instead of just goin' in and out, it gives ya somethin' ta aim for - like a game, that's why sex is fun." Dally explained hotly against the boy's neck in between kisses. "Don't stop your body from movin'; let it do what it wants." Dallas whispered softly against the auburn's jaw line as he continued to pump his finger in and out, feeling him nod his head lightly as he let his hips rock lightly against the blonde at first. Putting more vigor into his thrusts as the pleasure grew more and more until one finger just wouldn't suffice.

"More." Ponyboy whispered harshly as he rocked harder against the blonde, throwing his head back as he let out a moan as the hood thrust another finger in. Thrusting his hips even harder against both fingers as they continually stroked his sweet spot. Moaning and grunting each time, feeling a familiar coiling in his lower stomach as he began to reach his orgasm. "Dally! I'm gonna-!" Ponyboy grunted, before he could finish, his whole body becoming ridged as he came, his cum spilling out the head of his cock and oozing down his shaft and inner thighs as he caught his beath. "I'm gonna need another bath." Pony said as he sat up, his breathing even as he spoke.

"I could help you with that." Dally said slyly against his neck.

"I think you've helped me quite enough thank you." Ponyboy smirked as he made his way off the bed before heading back into the bathroom to rinse off. Coming back in to find that the sheets on the bed were changed and the blonde hood was nowhere in sight as well as the clothes he was wearing, quickly getting changed into shorts and a baggy t-shirt before heading downstairs to find the blonde sitting on the couch watching T.V. fully clothed.

"Watchin' The Tonight Show." Dallas stated flatly.

"Who's on?" Ponyboy asked as he made his way over to the couch, sitting down next to the blonde.

"Who else? The Beatles; they're on everything lately, the radio, T.V., posters - everything." Dallas said a bit annoyed, he didn't mind the Beatles too much, it's just that they were over played and everywhere. Ponyboy couldn't help but laugh a little bit at the hood for getting that annoyed about a band.

"Ya don't like Lucy?" Ponyboy asked a bit jokingly.

"What?" Dallas asked a bit irritated, not knowing what the kid was talking about.

"Lucy in the sky with diamonds." Ponyboy said in a melodic voice as he tried to sing the song as he tried not to laugh at the confused blonde.

"Nah, I'm more for Pony." Dallas smirked slyly, making the auburn confused.

"What?" Ponyboy asked, the hood's smirk getting wider and wider the more the boy's face contorted in confusion. Dallas leaned over, pressing his lips against Pony's ear, pulling him closer.

"Pony in the bed with Dallas." Dally whispered hotly into the boy's ear, letting his lips brush against the auburn's neck. Dallas could feel the younger greaser tense, an obvious sign that the little Curtis boy wasn't ready for anything that he was planning on doing. "Some other time." Dally said before leaning back into his spot, looking at the auburn with his icy eyes.

"Okay." Pony said shyly, a light blush forming on his cheeks as his eyes were cast down in a stare at the floor, too embarrassed to look back at the blonde. "I guess I'll go up ta bed; school tomorrow." Ponyboy said before heading up off to bed.
