(Narrator's POV)
The next morning, Darry tried getting out of bed early.
You sleepily groaned and pulled on his shirt, "Darry, stay."
He grinned, and without hesitation, climbed back into bed for morning cuddles.
Eventually, you two got up to make breakfast. Darry wore a white t-shirt and grey sweatpants while you wore one of his large shirts with a belt. Darry had adorable bed head, and you couldn't help standing on your toes to ruffle his hair.
Soda and Pony came into the kitchen and the four of you had breakfast together. After, you all got ready. You had to drive Ponyboy to school and Sodapop and Darry had work.
You pulled up to the front of Pony's high school. When he didn't get out of the car, you asked, "What's the matter, Pone?"
"It's nothing. Just when you and Darry argue all the time, it's hard to deal with. Plus, he's constantly nagging me. Why's he always like that?"
"He's just got a lot more responsibilities since your folks died," You answered.
There was a silence until you licked your finger and rubbed chocolate cake off Pony's cheek.
"Aw, cut it out, y/n!" He complained, swatting your hand away. He wiped his cheek and grumbled, "That's disgusting."
You chuckled, "Have a good day, Pony."
"Yeah, see you, y/n. Also, you don't need to pick me up after school. I'm gonna hang out with Johnny and Dally."

"Where the hell have you been?" Do you know what time it is? Almost two o'clock in the mornin', kiddo."
"Hey, Pony, where've you been?" Soda chimed in.
"I fell asleep in the lot," Pony answered.
"You what?"
"I was talking to Johnny and I fell asleep in the lot. I didn't mean to," He repeated, walking into the bathroom. You spectated the argument worriedly.
"Yeah?" Darry followed. Pony started to close the bathroom door before Darry slapped it back open, "Hey! I can't even call the cops because you two would be thrown into a boy's home so fast it would make your head spin."
"C'mon, Pony, let's go to bed now," Soda said patiently. You nodded in agreement with Soda.
Pony ignored him and kept disputing with Darry, "Look, I said I didn't mean to."
Darry mocked him, "'I didn't mean to.' 'I forgot.' That's all I ever hear from you!"
"C'mon, Darry-" You and Soda said in unison.
"You two shut up! I'm sick and tired of hearing you guys stick up for him all the time, you hear me?"
"Don't you yell at them!" Ponyboy shouted. Immediately, Darry had Pony knocked to the floor.
"Darrel!" You shrieked.
Everyone froze. Darry looked at his hand like it had a mind of its own.
"Ponyboy..." Darry begged, "I didn't mean to..."
But it was too late. Pony was halfway down the street in seconds. You, Soda, and Darry stood in silence. Darry tried to apologize and reach out to you, but you pushed him away and slammed the bedroom door behind you.
