Dally's pov
I was leaning against my car waiting for johnny, pony and two-bit to come out of school. I watched as they all headed over to my car. I couldn't keep my eyes off him. Him i mean my young boyfriend ponyboy curtis.
I was almost eighteen and he was only fourteen. But there something about him that somehow made me just want him to be mine. And he was.
"Hi babe", i said grabbing pony and kissing him. We had been exclusive for a month now. "Hey babe", he said back to me. Got he felt good in my arms.
We got into the car and headed to the dingo. "Anyone up for some action tonight?" Two-bit asked all of us. "What kind of action" i asked back, knowing action could mean anything to two-bit, and i didn't want any more jail time.
"You know maybe go see a movie or get drunk or sometin like that" he responded quick. " what do you think babe, you wanna go see a movie tonight?" It was friday so i new he didn't have to be home too early.
"Maybe" he sounded unsure. It wasn't like him to turn down a movie, so i new something was up. "You ok pone" i spoke softly to him. "Yeah sure" he replied. I still felt uneasy about him.
We left the dingo and headed to the curtis's house. When we got inside, pony headed straight for his room. He gestured for me to follow, so i did. "Ok its not like you to turn down a movie, so whats up?"
"I don't know, guess i just don't feel like goin out" he still sounded a little off. We had been together for three months. He was a very sensitive person and usually tried to hide how ge was feeling.
Pony's parents had died three months before we started dating.
Oh crap, thats when it hit me. I wrapped my arms around pony and held him. "I'm so sorry baby, sometimes i can be such a dumb ass" he put his head on my chest and started to cry.
It was exactly six months to the day since his folks died. "How about me and you just hang out together, we don't even have to go anywhere" i comforted him while he cried a little more.
Once he had calmed down we went back into the living room. Pony wouldn't leave my side. I kept my arm around him. I sat on the couch and pkny sat on my lap. He lay his head on my chest.
I wrapped my arms around him and held him close. I kissed the top of his head. Two-bit and johnny decided to go watch a movie without me and pony. Steve was workin the late shift at work. So that left me with the three curtis brothers.
Darry and soda were ok about mine and pony's relationship. I thought about going back to bucks and giving the three if them some alone time. But neithet of them would hear if it.
"Pony needs you right now" darry had said to me. Soda gave me a small smile. So that was that. I stayed.
It wasn't too long before pony had fallen asleep in my arms. He feels so warm. I could just hold him there all night, but i make the decision to carry him to bed.
"You can stay with him tonight dal, i'll take the couch" soda whispers to me trying not to wake his little brother. I give him a small nod.
I lay pony on his bed. I take off his shoes and jeans and take mine off too. I hop into bed next to him and pull the covers over both of us. I pull him into my arms. He snuggles into my chest. "I love you" i whisper softly. He starts to snore softly and i smile.
I was woken by pony shaking in his sleep. He must of been been having one of his many nightmares. I pull him closer to me. He starts to punch and scream out.
Both darry and soda ran into the room. "Is everything ok" they asked me. They noticed pony thrashing around and screaming. They could see i was trying to calm him down. But i didn't seem to be having much luck.
Darry put his hand on pony's head. "Soda go and run a cool but not too cold bath" dal help me get him outa this t shirt". Darry started giving orders. "Whats wrong with him darry" i was starting to get worried. "He has a small fever" darry spoke while carrying pony to the bathroom.
Darry sat on the toilet with pony on his lap. He and soda were both trying to wake him up. I grabbed a cloth and wet it. I started to wipe pony's face with it. He slowly started to wake up.
Once he was awake darry gently placed him in the tub. Darry and i went to the kitchen, while soda stayed in the bathroom with pony. "Will he be ok? i asked darry " yeah he just gets a bit heated sometimes when he has a real bad nightmare thats all. He should be fine once he's cooled off" darry explained.
"Do you think i should go?" I asked him. "No, he'll want want you to stay" darry answered before going off to check on his youngest brother.
A few minutes later, pony came out dressed in some clean pj's. By this time i had moved into the living room and was lying on the couch. I thought that maybe pony might have gone to sleep with soda.
Pony came over to me. I moved over giving him some room to lay beside me. I out my arm around him. Soda through a blanket over us both. "You ok baby?" I whisper to him. He nods his head yes as he snuggles into my chest.
He slowly drifts back off to sleep. We stay like this til morning.
