I do not own The Outsiders .

This chapter is rated M for some adult themes .

When he opened his eyes, Darry first wondered if this magical night had been a dream. He sighed of ease and turned to the still hot place in the bed next to him whom he caressed slowly then he seized the pillow and brought it to his face and inhaled for a long time the sweet floral smell of Sue's hair which was soaked in it, and he smiled thinking back not only to the great night they had spent in the arms of each other, but also to the evening. Nothing had gone as planned and yet ... everything was so perfect.

It seemed to him never felt so perfectly filled. So perfectly well . He sighed again and looked mechanically at his alarm clock, his watch apparently having disappeared in the "heat of the moment" but impossible to find either. His whole room appeared to have witnessed the whirlwind of his night of love with Sue. He looked out the window, it was still dark. A metallic noise kitchenware rattling pushed him to get up. He sat on the bed and grabbed his jeans lying on the floor and quickly pulled. By making his way through the hallway, he noticed a pleasant smell of cooking and fresh coffee. He passed through the living room where the radio was still playing and paused at the door of the kitchen as stopped by a heavenly vision. Busy in the kitchen, Sue hummed and danced on the air broadcast by the radio How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You) by Marvin Gaye, her bare feet and wearing a pale blue shirt of Darry that she certainly caught at random before getting up. Darry leaned one minute against the frame of the door and put his thumbs in the pockets of his jeans to look at his little fairy jiggle slightly limping through the kitchen and felt a little smile coming to his lips. He couldn't help thinking how much the song's lyrics were set at this time exactly how he felt. And as it was good to love her as he loved her .

"Your ankle wasn't supposed to rest?" he asked smirking, interrupting her little choreography. Surprise,Sue stopped dead and turned to him with a smile embarrassed to have been caught in this ridiculous little dance.

"Well...,yes ...But...Mr Curtis, we can't say that it has had much opportunity tonight !" She retorted, crossing her arms, a spatula wood in her right hand. "Unless we see that being active is a kind of therapy ." Darry shook his head, smiling but words failed him. It seemed to him to be out of breath while he couldn't leave her eyes .

Planted in the middle of the kitchen, in her too much wide for her shirt that fell above her knee and buttoned hastily, her disheveled hair gathered into a messy bun, her mischievous and bright gaze on him, she was radiant of nature, the way he wanted more than anything to find her, every morning of his life.

"Darrel ," Sue's soft voice interrupted his thoughts.

"Huh huh ." he said dreamily.

"What are you looking at ?" He sighed a smile and walked slowly toward her.

"You ," he said simply.

"Oh,she made by trying to straighten the few wavy curls floating on either side of her face. I must look awful,eh...?"

Darry began laughing, he grabbed her wrist to draw against him and tenderly stroked her beautifully disheveled little face. "Oh no ! he whispered. No...You are beautiful...You are wonderful..." And he held her chin to kiss her.

"Thank you ,she smiled softly. You look pretty good yourself, you know ." She stood on tiptoe and clung to his neck to make him a tender kiss. "Hello, you !" she whispered softly.

" Hello ! Darry repeated, glancing out the window. It's not even dawn ! Maybe we could...stay a while in bed ? " he suggested with a knowing smile, trying to kiss her neck.

"Um ... Yes ... it could be considered,she replied laughing gently pushed him back. But when I woke up my stomach reminded me that we were supposed to go out to dinner last night ! "

"Yes ,Darry nodded gently sliding his hands along her hips. It is true that the evening took a turn rather... unexpected ." She nodded, trying to hold her delighted smile and turned to the stove steaming behind her. Forced to restrain his enthusiasm, Darry groaned impatiently and leaned over her shoulder.

"What are you preparing for us ? Something good ?" he asked, trying to dip a finger in the pan she retired from the stove.

"Scrambled eggs with bacon! she announced. One of my specialties! So let me take care of everything, you want ."

"Eggs with bacon ! I was thinking steak with fried potatoes..."

"It must be five in the morning,Darrel !" Sue exclaimed, laughing.

"Um ... yeah ... But as you said, the night has been widely active, no ?" he replied airily.

Sue looked at him with laughing eyes. "This will greatly satisfy you ," she assured in the same tone before adding subtly. "At least for the next few hours ."

Darry couldn't help displaying a satisfied smile and went to serve a cup of coffee while she seized the lovingly prepared and furnish with a tasty breakfast, and began to carry it into the living room.

"You are sure you don't want a hand ? he asked perplexed by looking at her moving forward limping slightly.

" No way ! she replied with a stubborn air. I can handle... " Then she stopped midway between the kitchen and the living room table." Ouch ... "she let out grinning.

"So, huh !" Darry exclaimed by catching the tray just and made it slide on the table while taking softly her arm to help her keep balance . "I've already told you how stubborn you were ?"

"I think,yes?" she admitted with a little annoyed pout.

"Yeah ! Stubborn as a mule !" he seriously claimed by settling down on a chair and watched at her tidying up the tray where the toast soaked slightly in the spilled fruit juice.

"Oh no ! she sighed disappointed by taking a slice of soggy bread. Look at this mess ! "

"It's good,he tried to reassure her. Your eggs are still very good ".

"Um ... yes ...,she admitted in a small voice by checking the contents of the plates. But ... I wanted everything to be perfect for our first breakfast together...Do you understand ?"

"It means so much to you ?" Darry asked by trying to take a perceived of her disappointed face.

"Well...Yes...It is important,not ? In any case it is for me ..." And in silence, she continued to try to save what could be on her tray.

"Hey ! Darry said softly after observing her a moment. Come here !" And a smile on his lips, he pulled a small tug on her hand and pulled her to him, making her switch sitting on his lap and tenderly wrapped her waist with his muscular arms, having one moment printing to squeeze against him a delicate doll.

"Believe me, he murmured with a look full of love. Everything is perfect as it ... My pretty little mulehead !" he added with a big smile slowly stroking her incombed hair .

"You really think ? I mean ... I have the impression of having accumulated disasters ... the tray,my ankle,Gladys's shoes ...Oh no ! I had forgotten that ! How I'm gonna tell her...?"

"Hey ! Darry stopped her by gently placing a finger on her lips. Don't worry about that ... You'll tell her I take full responsibility ." And noticing her frown eyebrows questioningly, he explained: "Well ... yes. If I had agreed to take the Ford Mustang as Pony had proposed,we wouldn't broken down ... and you wouldn't have messed the shoes or your ankle ."

"Yes, surely ..." Sue continued with a sigh, her bright emerald eyes again by their mischievous spark. "... And we would friendly have returned each on our side ," she added wisely before her mischievous smile come to invade her face. "I don't regret that our evening was so full of unexpected ." she said, putting her arms around his neck and plunged her eyes into his. "That's what made it magical !If everthings was to redo, I would want that everything spends exactly in the same way ."

"Even for Gladys's shoes ? Darry couldn't help teasing her. Why did you insist on wearing it anyway ? You even said you don't support it ?"

" Oh..., Sue said lowering her head gently feeling blushing. I guess ... I wanted to be really for my advantage ..." She took a quick look at the pair of ruined shoes that lying near the couch since yesterday. "Ugh ... It was worth it though ...". In raising her head she noticed the amused smile and laughter that Darry was struggling to contain .

"What ?" she exclaimed while.

"Oh, nothing...But...Oh,Sue !" he sighed by squeezing her more hardly. "I swear you...Even with that awful thing much too wide for you on the back ..." he smiled grabbing between his fingers a piece of fabric of her shirt. "With your ankle hurt and...your hair everywhere on your face ..." he added, lovingly brushing some wavy locks escaped from her bun. "You will always be for your advantage to me...The most beautiful little fairy ruffled I've ever seen ... When you were dancing just now in the kitchen ,like a beautiful bird ... I had never seen somethong more beautiful all my life . " His look shone so intensely by pronouncing these last words that it seemed to Sue collect the slightest of his love for her.

A small sigh escaped her trembling lips as she felt her eyes fill with tears,won by the moved happiness to feel loving so intensely and sincerely by this wonderful man.

"Thanks ," she said, her voice packed with emotion. She could describe the sensation so sweet and enchanting she could feel just by being cuddled like that, in his arms and hoped he could also feel in the same way all the love that her heart, her whole being was willing to give him. She loved him. And even if they didn't seem to need words to understand each other,even if their two hearts beating in unison proved her that he already knew,she had to tell him.

Keeping one arm hanging at his neck,she slowly crossed her hand on his face where was painted the enjoyment and the pride to hold her in his arms, and whispered, "I love you, Darrel ... If you knew ... I love you so much !"

A proud smile on the lips, Darry gently grabbed her chin to drop to her lips then her neck soft and languishing kisses and still squeezed her a little more hardly sighing of pleasure when knotted again very strong her arms around his neck and added slyly in his ear, stroking is neck with fingertips.

"And I, I make well fun to know that my lover take me dinner with his younger brother's care !"

"I don't see what you mean ...," Darry said with a grumpy which made her laugh softly as she recoiled slightly tilting the head to one side and asked playfully: "Are you sure ...? "

He gave her a glance wanting annoyed couldn't help but laugh and slipped a hand under her knees giving her a slight tightening.

"Oh God ! It's crazy what I love you, Miss Dobbins !" he exclaimed softly stroking her bare thigh.

The joy and desire passed in the eyes of Sue when she drew his face to hers and smiled.

"Kiss me," she said touching his lips.

"With pleasure ..." Darry smiled and executed by sliding his hand under her thigh to hold her squeeze against him while she hung on his neck .

The first lights of dawn fired the horizon when Ponyboy cut the engine of Ford Mustang who stopped in the path. A small smile came to his lips as he couldn't take his eyes of the golden colors which had just takenthe sky . Never he could grow tired of this show which had more that all the gift to appease him . And he felt like if there was centuries since he had could attend it,both too busy and exhausted by his studies, it was rare that he can be standing at that early hour to enjoy the show. Finally, although he had thought Soda and Two Bits had was wrong to want to go as far into the back country, he was glad they did it . Already, the sky cleared up very pale blue in the east gradually extinguished the fiery hues. Pony glanced at his watch, almost five thirty . It was time to go .

He decided to take a last look at the luxurious picture of the dawn taking possession of the sky,when a powerful snoring just in his right made him turn his head. Wedged between him and Soda,Two Bits was deeply asleep, sleeping off his wine, a blissful expression on his face. Pony couldn't help smiling seeing him like that. He felt that even if his brothers and him,and even Steve more, progressing in their adult lives, Two Bits Matthews, him, would always be the same. He leaned to the side to reach the shoulder of Soda, asleep against the passenger door.

"Hey ...! he said, shaking him gently. Hey, Soda ! Soda !" Soda heavily stirred and opened his eyes, clearly wondering where he was before resuming his minds.

"Um ... what time is it ?" he asked in a thick voice.

"Half past five !"

"Half past five !Soda repeated incredulously. Wow ... It was quite a trip !"

"You can tell ," Pony smiled, pointing a nod to Two Bits, slumped against his shoulder.

"And yeah ! Soda exclaimed softly. We won't change him ! "

"You think we brought him back ?"

"Wait ... let me out of here ! he said, opening the door to get out of the car and inspire some fresh air." No, he yawned while stretching . It is better to put him on the couch . I'm not sure that his mother wants to recover him in this state...Hey !" He suddenly said by sweeping the street of the look.

"What ?" Pony asked by going out in his turn .

"The pick-up is not there ! Soda noticed, a roguish smile invading completely the face .Our wise old man would eventually be tempted ! "

"Don't be so sure ! Pony replied, laughing. I thought I saw the pickup truck parked a few blocks from here . He had to break down and walk back . "

"You think ?" Soda said, his sudden enthusiasm cools.

"Yeah ! Pony nodded, laughing. I hope it didn't spoil his evening . Otherwise, I wouldn't be in your shoes ."

Soda swept his words with a gesture of the hand.

"It's okay,I don't care ," he said airily. "After all, it was him who refused you lent him" Beauty ", no ?" he declared, patting the hood of the Ford Mustang.

"Yeah , Pony admitted, scratching the back of the skull. But it's a pity for him . That's right ! He looked really bitten ! As I never seen him before . "

" Ah, that's for sure !" Soda laughed, remembering how their eldest brother was nervous and distracted all week. "We'll see ... Don't worry about him,okay ," he said with confidence and glanced into the car where Two Bits snored still deeply and opened the passenger potter.

"Come on, help me rather to take out that thing from there !" Pony laughed at his way of naming their friend, and slipped into the car to push Two Bits outside.

Soda spent his right arm around his friend and did his best to support him ."And well ! He weighs his weight,say so . Hey, Pony ! Wait ! " he shouted to his brother, who already climbed the porch steps. "Help me drag him inside ! " Net halted, Pony smiled by seeing him the struggling to keep the balance and hurried to rescue him .

"You know you're lucky, man ! Soda blew while they reached the stairs. I know many that would let you sleep it off there !"

"Yeah, Two Bits ! Pony adds in passing the first step. You could make an effort to help us ! " He got in reply a low growl but the two brothers exchanged a smile as Two Bits finally began to gently move his feet.

As they reached the front door, Pony paused and listened to the sound of the radio playing inside.

"You had left the radio turned on ? Pony asked intrigued.

"Possible ," Soda said, shrugging one shoulder. "Why ?"

"Darry would surely have extinguished if he had returned, right?"

"Probably ... yes," Soda replied nonchalantly enhancing Two Bits's arm around his shoulders. "Hey ! he then added with a smile. At least he isn't finally back ! This was perhaps not the pickup you have seen ."

Pony shook his head and smiled incredulously. "Are you kidding or what ? I would recognize it among a thousand ," he certified that before pushing the door .

Immersed in the orange light of dawn, the room rang with the sound of Stay by Maurice Williams and The Zodiacs . Darry and Sue were carried away by the music or simply enjoy the pleasure of each other,no matter. From his chair, Darry waved his naked torso to the rhythm of the song, his hands positioned resolutely and sweetness on Sue's hips who wriggled on his knees, her arms wrapped around his neck. He leaned her body sensually towards the floor, caressing his face against her almost discovered navel and kissed her silky skin before straighten her softly, their lips meeting ardly. We could be imagined them on a dance floor, diving deeply into the eyes of each other, carried away by the crazy feeling of being alone in the world, just inspired by one another.

So inspired by each other in that they would forget everything that could happen around them, the day which got up , Sue's cools breakfast...and the three boys who had just skipped by the door and were instantly stopped in their tracks, immobilized by the view more than awkward of their older brother (for two of them, and just like for the third) and the very pretty girl he was holding on his lap in a position for less explicit, both half dressed and engaged in what promised to be certainly soon more than a dance .

Now useless for Soda and Pony, who exchanged the same look embarrassed over Two Bits's head drooping half,to make assumptions about how their brother had finished his evening. The answer was more than obvious. Noticing the strong embarrassment in his younger brother's face, Soda, although he wanted to disappear as quickly as possible through the floorboards, began to think at full speed in order to indicate their presence while hiding they had entered since enough time for his older brother and his beautiful partner have to manage the embarrassment of being caught in this situation. He quickly swung his arm back and grabbed the door handle which he opened and slammed abruptly.

"That's it ! We're at home !" he exclaimed with a look as clear as he could.

In the same spirit, Darry and Sue jumped and mechanically turned their heads to discover the three stunned faces. Darry felt the warmth invade his face as Sue quickly untied her arms from his neck while he made her cautiously slide from his lap.

"Oh ... Hey ... Uh ...,he stammered scratching the back of his head and quickly walking toward the radio to decrease the volume and certainly concealed his embarrassment. What are you doing here ? "

Soda held with difficulty on laughing so much the situation seemed to him invaluable. "Well,he naturally replied. I live here! I think . And Pony still half . And uh ... this is the refuge of the clown, there ! When he is too drunk to go his mom's home ... Right, Two Bits ? "he said, giving him a pat on the coasts.

"Yeahhh," Two Bits replied drawled.

"No ,Darry caught himself rubbing his neck. I mean,uh ... You are already there ?"

Soda and Pony exchanged an amused look. It was nearly six o'clock, and God knows how much the anger of their brother would have been monstrous if they had dared to bring in at the present time a few years earlier.

"Already there ? Pony repeated, with an incredulous smile. At six in the morning ?"

"Six o'clock !" Darry then exclaimed, putting his hands on his hips. "No but that goes not! Why do you return so late?!" Soda and Pony consulted with the same stifled laughter. Their brother might try to take his eternal authoritarian air, this time he really wasn't credible at all.

"It's just ,Soda says most innocently of the world,unable to retain his mischievous smile. We didn't want to disturb you ." Darry bit his cheek and nodded slightly nervously passing a hand through his hair. His eyes met Sue.

From where she remained, a hand leaning awkwardly on the chair to ease her sore ankle,and the other closing bottom unbuttoned by her wide shirt under which she wore only a pants, her lips slightly pinch to keep from smiling, Sue watched with amusement the man of her life interact with his younger brothers as if their roles were reversed, and become entangled in the situation as a kid caught in the act. His puzzled look, when she met it ,was so adorable that made her want to jump towards him for kiss him. With a very slight nod, she played her mischievous emerald eyes to make him a sign that he understood immediately.

"Ok !" he said, clearing his throat with a clumsy air with a hand behind his neck. "Sue,this is my brothers,Sodapop and Ponyboy ." Pony spoke to the young woman a discreet nod while Soda used his charming smile.

"And...uh, middle, Darry added, this is Two Bits...uh...Keith Matthews, one of our friends . Guys,this is...Sue," he finished looking at her lovingly.

"Hi !" she said timidly, feeling ashamed. This was far from the ideal conditions for the presentations, but well... because it was so... . "I...uh...heard a lot about you ."

"Well...delighted !Soda replied with a frank smile. We have heard a lot about you too !"

"Really ?" Sue wondered despite herself by throwing an amused look to Darry.

"Yeah ! Soda assured by throwing an eye toward Pony. Finally...,we haven't had need ! Darry was so nervous all week...We thought he must have a very nice reason !" Sue looked down at his last words, feeling more ashamed. "From what I see, he added to his eternal charming smile,we was right !" And he gave Darry a meaningful wink.

" Hold! Darry made by throwing him the keys of the pick-up which he caught in the flight. You are going to have some job, I believe ! "

"Okay! Okay !" Soda exclaimed, laughingin front of the upset face his brother. "I go !It is a few block away,right ...?" Darry nodded vaguely wondering how he could know that.

"Well ... Hope to see you again, Miss ," he said very politely with a little hello to Sue and released Two Bits's weight on Pony.

"Hey,Dare!" he said, his eyes laughing more than ever. "I'll call before returning ! Just in case you still would need time to ..." He didn't have time to finish his sentence, Darry already grabbed by the shoulder and pushed him on the porch. "Out ! " he said, taking furious look but couldn't help smiling when Soda ran down the stairs, laughing and took a few steps backwards, shaking his head, raising his thumbs up before walking away nonchalantly.

Darry inhaled deeply and then could remember his other brother still in the living room. By pushing the door, he ended the awkward silence installed between Sue and Ponyboy who also struggled to support Two Bits whose weight rested on his shoulders alone.

"Good! Pony said crossing the embarrassed look of Darry as he grabbed Two Bits's arm swinging. I ... uh ... I think I'll take him home finally ," he said in a half-turn by the door.

"Yeah ," Darry nodded quickly by guiding him to the outside, not missing the little amused smile of his brother.

"And ... I'll have breakfast at StEvie's ."

"All right ! Do that ! "

Pony smiled gently observing the confusion clearly displayed on his big brother's face . "Glad to have met you ," he said, turning to Sue who smiled and greeted him with a small sign of hand, and passed the door that Darry held open for him , dragging Two Bits with him.

"You see, he slipped quietly smiling. You didn't need to be so nervous . " Darry lowered his head and pinched the bridge of his nose, something told him that he hadn't finished hearing his brothers spoof about it.

Pony borrowed the steps with Two Bits when he suddenly said in a husky voice: "Hey, Pony ... I think I'll put a brake on the bottle !"

"What ?"

"Yeah ... Or even downright stop drinking ... I had a vision ... completely weird ... about Darry ... dancing sitting in your living room ... a pretty little thing in his lap...And it was pretty hot ! Really ... I have to stop drinking ... "

Pony couldn't help laughing and quickly turned his head to Darry which the furious and a little bit embarrassed glare made him double the step . "Come on ! Here we go !" he said, pushing Two Bits, always rehashing what he thought was a vision, by the passenger door, quickly took his place behind the wheel and started first go .

" And well! Mornings are they always so animated with you, Mr Curtis ? "

The head ruefully put against the door that he had closed strongly locked a little late, Darry felt a small smile spread on his lips when he heard the melodious voice of Sue, and he turned the head to see her moving forward to him stealthily. Time for a second his eyes met her laughing eyes and he completely turned to her while they were exchanging the same laugh. "No, he replied playfully. Not like that ! That was especially reserved to you !"

"Oh ! Sue took the same tone. Then I'll hope something less special ... next time ," she said giggling. Darry smiled to her tenderly, took a few steps and gently took her hand.

"I'm sorry, 'he said. I would have had to lock the door ..."

"Why ?" she asked innocently grabbing a piece of her shirt that only two buttons held closed at her chest and added with a mischievous smile which Darry couldn't resist. "We were presentable, no ?"

"Oh ... yes, he nodded moving his index finger along her cheek. We couldn't be more presentable !"

"Right ! " she laughed, snuggling in his arms and sighed when he gently stroked her back. "My God ! I really think we have an ability for it !" she exclaimed, rubbing her cheek against his bare chest.

"For what ?"

"We end up in embarrassing situations ."

"Oh yeah ! Darry laughed, shaking his head. Then I think ... we reached the heights !"

"And again ! " She slipped her chin on his skin to look up at him."We don't have to complain about ! I thought you were off the latest buttons !"

With a smirk on his face, he leaned gently on her neck and whispered: "Actually ... I was about to do ." He looked up meeting her beautiful emerald eyes wide and the color gently purple painted on her face.

"Oh ...," she said simply imagining how the situation could would be much more embarrassing for her. Darry laughed softly and kissed the bridge of her nose.

"What ?" she asked in a puzzled smile.

"You are truly amazing, you know that ? he replied while putting his hand under her chin. In your place a lot of girls have returned in a mad rage !"

"Oh yes ? she wondered. Because it happened often,Mr the great seducer ?"

"Well , Darry said voluntarily by dragging his answer . Not like that but ..." He caught her worried look and ended: "No . Really not so often as that . And not in this way. No how I can feel when I'm with you ."

Eyes shining with happiness, Sue upstepped on the tip of her valid foot to give him a tender kiss and felt tenderly entwined by his muscular arms and so reassuring as she pressed against him.

"Um ,he sighed in her hair. Even so,I would have preferred that you meets my brothers in other conditions ."

"They will recover," Sue assured nicely.

"Oh that's for sure !They already recovered !It's about me that I worry. I don't have stops hearing about it,believe in me ! "

"We see that you worship every three ." Darry smiled at her words and pressed her harder. As he was lucky that she entered in his life.

"How long do you think we have before us ?" she asked suddenly.

"Oh...At least until noon,I think, Darry answered mechanically. Several hours anyway. Why ?"

He looked down and found her mischievous look dancing to him and her impish smile. This smile he silently promised to do everything to never see it disappear from this sweet face.

"Maybe...we could pick up where we left off ," she suggested in a detached tone .

As a response Darry laughed and lifted her at arm's lenght . And, as he lost his eyes in hers and made a turn on himself, he began to imagine the future and in each of his thoughts was this little piece of woman exceptional, so wonderfully special, so beautiful, sweet and strong, so full of this incomparable joy of life which animated her every moment. His marvelous little blue fairy, brighter than sunshine, who found her joy of little girl listening Bob Dylan's song.

He gently lowered her in front of him while she was tying her bare legs around his waist, her arms around his neck and interlaced her fingers through his hair. On the same knowing smile, they sealed their lips passionately and, very gently, he lowered their two embraced bodies towards the living room floor.

The rays of the morning sun filtering through the blinds of the windows, lit now the room in an orangy warm light, but for Darry it could never be brighter than the one that Sue had animated his heart.
