knock.
knock.
knock.
it was a chilly day in oklahoma. the sky was gray and cloudy, it seemed like it was going to rain but the clouds were dry and they seemed to hold in their tears.

once the three came back from texas dally forced them to stop searching.
"why are we stopping? johnny is still-"
"well then johnny can stay out there!"
"what is wrong with you?!"
"me? johnny left for a reason! let him leave!"

Dally ended up getting fired from the job he never wanted so that didn't bother him. he stopped visiting his dad. he never did like him. he became distant. no body blamed him, no one was ever the same after a break up.

knock. knock. knock.
"coming!" the door opened to reveal a brunette, the youngest of the curtis brothers.
"hey."
———
Dally was walking to the curtis house, and pissed at that. pony and him had planned to watch a movie and he had waited for him for an entire hour, before getting a text saying he wasn't coming. what the shit? anyways he was probably going to smack him upside the head.
yeaaah that sounded nice.
He slammed the door open "Pony! pony you little shit i waited for a whole hour-"
"Ow fuck!" as the door closed it revealed the raven haired boy who had gone missing five months ago, "what the fuck-"
"jesus dal you made my nose bleed!" he said, covering his noise, his hands had a bit of blood on them
"wha- what do you mean- Pony!" he was convinced he was dreaming, yeah that had to be it
"fuck pony no!" then everything went dark.

"you knocked him out with a pan!"
"he was going to murder me!!"
"wh- well help me take him to the bed or something!"

———
a few hours later dally had woken up from his forced slumber, holding his head because it hurt, obviously. he just got hit with a pan, "jesus when i see pony i'll-" he said before mumbling a whole lotta threats. dally sure had a dirty mouth. but he stopped when he saw someone in the corner of the room, asleep. was he still asleep? no he could feel pain. which sucked . he moved over to the figure "johnny, hey johnny man," he turned around to face him,
"oh hey- when you'd get here?" suddenly it wasn't like johnny had come back after running away to texas for six month because dally had hurt him so badly. no, it felt like a normal day. like dally had just found johnny in the lot like he had often a year before . "dal?"
"sorry, thinking"
"i'm sorry."
"why are you sorry, sweetheart??"
"i left."
"you were hurting."
"can i kiss you?" it kinda shocked the two, johnny wasn't often one to make a move, sure he had once or twice but not so straightforward, "yeah, always." and so they did, their lips automatically connected and it felt like a dream. like they were dreaming.
he opened his eyes.
and it was real.
