“(Y/N), please stay out of this.” Darry says, eyes still locked on his younger brother.
“She has a point.” Ponyboy snorts.
“Don’t use that tone with me, young man.” Darry says, voice raised.
“Who went and made te dad?” Ponyboy asked, shrugging his shoulders.
“You take that back.” Darry says, lunging for Ponyboy.
They start beating up on each other, nothing serious. Brothers will be brothers.
“Hey! Knock it off!” te say, trying to separate them on the ground.
Smack!
te fall back, the hit getting te hard.
The boys freeze, realizing they’ve hit you.
“Ow!” te say. “That was my boob!”
They burst out laughing.
“Oh my god, Steve. Your eye.” te say as te remove the ice pack.
“It’s just bump.” He grins.
“A bump? Honey, it’s a huge black eye. It’s più like an egg.” te say.
“Old Man can still pack a punch, huh?”
“Steve, te need to get out of there.” te say matter-of-factly.
“I got nowhere to go.”
“You can stay with the Curtises. o me. I just don’t like seeing te hurt.” te whisper.
“I’d rather it be me than you.” He says.
“What?” He asks, glancing over at you.
“You’re gonna get pulled over,” te say, rolling your eyes.
“Do te think I’d care?” He laughed.
“Dallas Winston, I am shocked and appalled te just detto that to me and ran that red light.” te laugh. “I’m horrified at your driving skills. Remind me not to get into a car with te again.”
