you were sitting in the curtis' living room, wearing your dx uniform whilst watching mickey mouse with two-bit, when soda and darry came walking down the stairs.
"hiya y/n/n, hiya two!!" soda called out happily to you both before heading towards the kitchen.
"hey soda!!" you both replied in sync before two-bit turned back towards the television and you moved your head sideways to see darry getting something out of the drawers.
you got up from the sofa and decided to walk towards the kitchen, where you were met with the sight of soda applying some food colouring to the eggs.
"sodaaaa," you dragged out his name whilst jumping onto his back.
"y/n/nnnn" he mimicked you by dragging out your (nick)name in response, whilst readjusting you to make sure you don't fall off.
"what colour are you making the eggs this time?" you questioned. "purple," he replied with a cheeky smile plastered across his face.
"nice, hey do you know when steve will be here?" you questioned with a grin before jumping off your best friends back.
you, soda and steve met when they first started working at the dx, and you guys have been good friends ever since.
"he should be here soon," the boy next to you answered whilst pouring the second bottle of purple food colouring into the eggs.
you nodded and turned around to see the oldest curtis brother enter the kitchen. he looked at the both of you and greeted you with a small nod, and left the room immediately.
you stared questioningly at the spot where the 21 year old was just standing, with a glum expression.
sodapop turning round to see a defeated look crossing your face, immediately got concerned, he wasn't used to seeing one of his best friends with such a sad expression on their face.
"hey, are you okay?" he asked softly. "does darry not like me? he never talks to me unless he has too," you said ignoring the question that was asked beforehand.
soda sighed lightly and turned away from the food to fully face you.
"listen y/n, darry does like you," soda reassured you with a soft smile. "then why does he never talk to me? as soon as you introduced me to the gang, it seems like he doesn't want me here." you questioned quietly.
"y/n, when my brother likes someone he ends up pushing them away." he explained before going back to the purple eggs.
"but he talks normally to you, and he likes you..." you trailed off not understanding what the boy next to you was implying.
soda chuckled lightly and slightly shook his head, "no i mean he like likes you." he spoke emphasising the word likes.
your eyes widened at those words, "what? um you don't know what you're talking about."
he vigorously nodded with a shocked expression spreading across his face. "seriously? you didn't know, oh my gosh you can be very oblivious up there," he spoke whilst pointing to his forehead.
you stood there perplexed, thoughts swimming through your head. 'darry can't like me, there's no way.' 'do i want him to like me?'
when you thought about it, you couldn't help but notice the butterfly's in your stomach.
that was when you realised it; you definitely wanted him to like you.
✰✰✰
the whole day you were distracted.
all you could think of was the fact that the darrel curtis could possibly like you.
you didn't think anyone noticed that you were distracted the whole day however sodapop did.
"hey y/n, can i talk to you?" sodapop asked when you were both walking home from work, breaking the silence. "y/nnn?" "y/n?!"
"huh? what?" you asked, breaking out of your trance. "i asked if i could talk to you..." soda trailed off.
"oh yeah!! of course, what's up?" you asked pushing your y/h/c hair out of your eyes.
"are you okay? you have been distracted all day, even steve noticed," sodapop asked, concerned for his friend.
"oh yeah, sorry i was just thinking," you said with a sheepish smile.
"what about?" he asked, to which you hesitated in responding. "i'm one of your best friends, you can tell me anything," he reassured you with his movie-star smile taking over his face.
you sighed before responding, "fine, i guess it's just what you said this morning has really confused me."
"about darry?" he guessed, you nodded and looked down. "what about him?" he questioned tilting his head.
you looked up and spoke, "does he actually like me?"
sodapop stayed silent for a while before he started laughing loudly, "of course he does!!" he said happily, however you were still unsure. sodapop picking up on your unsureness, added "if it makes you feel any better he told me two nights ago."
this was it, you knew soda would never lie about this; darrel curtis liked you.
✰✰✰
darry finally got the courage to talk to you, with the help of sodapop of course.
let's just say, you have a date planned for next saturday and the both of you couldn't be happier.
