♡︎fair

A/N: modern

We walked through the front gate of the fair and let all of it set in. The mullets, the furries, the screaming children, the failed plastic surgery, all was brought together one week of the year.

Dallas had already pulled out a cigarette and started smoking when we started walking down the long stretch to the food and rides. Two-Bit was already hammered and Sodapop was already attracting all the desperate and lonely girls.

I fell back behind to walk with Johnny and Ponyboy, who seemed to have been in the back observing everything.

"Missed this." Ponyboy said sarcastically and I giggled. It's true, I did miss this place but not as much as I expected to.

"That's Sodapop Curtis right?" I heard a girl say to her scrawny little friend next to us. I looked at Johnny and Ponyboy as smiles creeped along our faces, loving this.

"Soda!" We called out. It took a couple calls for him to hear us before he looked at us and we pointed to the girls, who were beat red. They waved and stuttered as we picked up our pace and caught up with the rest of the gang.

Darry quickly looked at us and noticed our snickers and secrecy and cocked an eyebrow, "What'd you guys do?"

"Uh-" Ponyboy stuttered, "We didn't do anything Dare Bear," I interrupted and Darry shook his head, he always hated it when I called him Dare Bear. I loved it, cause of how much he hated it.

Dally reached the butt of his cigarette and flicked it on the ground and walked ahead of the crew and Johnny immediately shot his head to me.

"You see it too?" I asked and he nodded. I rolled my eyes, "He'll get over whatever is up his ass." I jogged up to him and put my hand on the small of his back and it startled him. He looked at me and forced a smile and I furrowed my brows but didn't bother to say anything, we were here to have a good time and not fight.

I started lightly scratching his back and he slung his arm around my shoulder and sigh heavily. "What ride you wanna go on?" He asked lazily.

"TEACUPS!" Two-Bit called out, bouncing around in the back. Dally and I looked at each other started laughing at Two and his extreme energy rush from the alcohol he had consumed. I let my head fall onto his shoulder when I was laughing because his anger had passed, like I said. I looked back at Johnny and smiled and he nodded.

We made our way to the ticket booth and got our hands stamped and we made our way to the teacups where Two-Bit wanted to be so bad. We all managed to fit into the child sized ride and Two-Bit already had it spinning fast before the ride was even started.

When we got off, we went to various different places. We went to the spinny rides, the fast rides, the ones that make your stomach drop, the fun houses (we nearly got kicked out of that one), and the swings.

I forced Dally to take his jacket off until it got colder since it was 87° with a clear sky, and he protested big time. I don't what it is with that man and his jacket but they've got a better relationship than him and I do. He slipped off to go get us lemonade when I propped up against one of the booths talking to Johnny while Soda and Two-Bit battled for dominance in the ring toss.

"That was weird earlier," Johnny said and looked around quickly, searching for danger, like always.

"Yeah, it's fine though. I think he got past it." I responded and tapped my finger against the wall while listening to Two-Bit swear under his breath playing.

"What was he so angry about?" Johnny was kicking a rock by our feet, I was kicking it back. It was like a mini soccer game.

"I dunno, when isn't he angry." When I said that, we started laughing because of the truth within it. He was always mad about something and I was always so mad at him for it, "But I don't care, I came here for a good time not to fight."

"Yeah I get that," Johnny said before Dal came back with three drinks. He handed me one with his jaw clenched and I smiled at him, and he handed Johnny the other.

"Thanks baby," I smiled and he nodded bluntly and walked to Soda and Two.

"Oh boy," Johnny and I said at the same time and giggled. I looked over and Dally had already finished his lemonade and he crushed the cup and was holding it, staring his daggers at the wall behind the bottles and rings. It was dark out, still incredibly busy. The lights from the rides were blinking insanely and all the kids our age were out.

I looked back to Johnny and saw him kick the rock far behind me, and I playfully slapped his shoulder and ran to get it. When I came back, Johnny looked terrified. I knitted my brows together and looked at the direction he was looking at. I saw Dally and some girl, far prettier than me, flirting. I knew they were flirting because he had that look in his eyes. I looked back at Johnny and turned my fake happy face on and spun around. "Hey Soda, Johnny and I are gonna go get some fries." I said and grabbed Johnny's arm and we quickly walked to a vacant bench behind a building and I broke down in tears.

"That's why he was fucking mad, because he thought I was flirting with you!" I said and Johnny sighed. "Dal's an idiot." he said.

"Sure is." I said and chuckled a bit. I wiped my tears from my face as Johnny rubbed my back. "What'd I do without you Johnnycakes?" I asked and he only shook his head, "Cry yourself to death."

Just like that, Dally ran around the building and found us. He stood in front of me and I slowly looked up at him and Johnny stood up. "Dally, she don't want to see you," He said. I put my hand up and told Johnny to sit down and I looked at him. It was dark back here, nobody could tell we were here by a single look. The bench was very random, next to one of the buildings nobody goes in but everybody would complain about if they got rid of, Y'know?

"What the hell do you think you were doing?" He said and my lip quivered as I tried but failed to keep my tears from falling.

"Talking to my friends on a fun day we were supposed to be having?! What the hell were you doing?" I said and I moved closer to him until our chests were merely touching.

"Sounds like somebody is a little jealous," He spat and I cursed under my breath. "What was that? What'd you say?"

"I said this is a fucking joke." I said through my teeth and he shook his head, "I'm not the one jealous here, because I didn't go fucking some girl with my eyes."

He looked at me with his dark eyes and immediately smashed his lips into mine. He had his hands on my cheeks and he pushed me against the wall and pushed his way into my mouth with his tongue. Our lips moved with each other's anger and he bit my lip which drove me wild.

"Why dont you just fuck in front of me!" Johnny called out and I turned my head to look at him while Dally attacked my neck with hickeys. "I'm sorry," I mouthed and he rolled his eyes. He pointed towards the games and I nodded and he started walking over there. Dally pulled away from my neck and his breath hit my sweet spot so I aggressively grabbed his shirt and pulled him in to kiss me. This time, I made my tongue go into his mouth and we battled for dominance. His hands were all over my body, places where they should and shouldn't be.

Soon enough, we felt water all over us and we pulled away from each other and found the gang hyped up. Dally pulled away angrily and started throwing punches. I walked over to Ponyboy and grabbed the water cup he had and poured the rest on my head so I wouldn't have unevenly wet hair.

"You could get HIV from making out." He said and I rolled my eyes. "Thanks Pony, but we're both clear."

"You sure about him?" He looked at Dally who was beating up Two-Bit, Soda, and Steve and I nodded.

"Ponyboy, shut your mouth about their private lives." Darry said with crossed arms, "But he is right."

"Shut it... Dare Bear!" I said and started to run while Darry chased me and I grabbed Dally and dragged him while we both ran off the fair grounds, laughing and smiling like before.
