Butterflies 🦋 (Ponyboy X Reader)

Chapter 14

!!Pony's POV!!

After 30 minutes, I smile as (Y/n) still sleeps on me. It's the best feeling in the world, knowing the person I love the most is right here with me. I rub her arm while Soda and Steve come on being loud as always "can you guys' quiet down? (Y/n) is sleeping," I say, and Soda looks at me. He smirks and Steve laughs while they walk to the kitchen while Darry and Two-bit walk in.

Steve starts laughing in the kitchen while Soda groans, (Y/n) wakes up slowly.

!!(Y/n) POV!!

I wake up to the sound of Soda and Steve arguing, "5 bucks' man!" Steve says and Soda walks out towards us. "Did you bet on us?" Pony asks and Soda nods I can't help but laugh slightly while rolling my eyes. "I hate you," I say and push Soda while getting up to get a drink.

I walk into the kitchen and take out water before sitting at the table. Steve and Soda sit down as they start playing a card game. Ponyboy gets up and walks to the bathroom. I watch him as he touches his face "Soda, when did you start shaving?"

I roll my eyes and look at Soda while drinking my water, "when I was 15,"

"What about Darry?" he asks, and Steve starts to get mad because of something Soda did. "When he was 13, why? You figuring on growing a beard for the rumble?" he jokes while Steve throws cards at his chest. He puts his arm up as they start to arm wrestle like children.

I smile and get up before walking back to the couch, where Two-bit is watching TV. "You like fights, huh Soda?" I say and look at them from the couch. "Yeah, I like fights man," he says struggling against Steve

"How come?" Pony asks and Soda keeps struggling "It's a contest. It's like a drag race, or a dance or something. We're gonna beat them Socs heads in, aint we?" Pony walks off and I get up to walk after him after Soda loses.

"I don't know if you should fight, (Y/n), I don't want you to get hurt," Pony says and I hug him "It will be fine! I promise. I won't get hurt, I'm tough" I laugh and walk back to the TV room with Pony behind me. We stop and we stand in front of Darry while he puts his shirt on. "Why do you like fights, Darry?" Pony asks and I cross my arms.

"He likes to show off his muscles," Soda laughs while Darry turns to him "Hey, Imma show them off on you, if you get any mouthier," he says and fixes his shirt.

"Hey, uh, I don't think you two should fight tonight," Darry sighs while Pony and I look at each other "why we've always come through before, ain't we?"

"Yeah, but Yous in shape before," he teases us and we laugh slightly "You aint lookin' so good, you're all tensed up, all the time,"

I cross my arms and I look up at Darry as Sods speaks up "come on Darry, let them fight man. Everyone is tensed up before a rumble," Soda says and I nod.

"Skin against skin, they aint gonna get hurt." Pony nods "yeah we'll grab hold of the little ones," Pony says, and I smile.

"Well, we'll need every man we can get, but I don't know." Darry sighs "look, if it was knives or chains or something, it'd be different. We'll be okay" Pony says while I nod.

"Alright, but you two be careful. Okay?" Darry says and we nod. "How come you never worry about him so much?" Pony asks and I cross my arms. "That's one kid brother, aint gotta worry about. This kid can use his head, at least for something to grow hair on" Darry jokes and we all start laughing while running out of the house.

I put my hair up in a high ponytail while Darry does a handstand over the fence. Pony and I run-up to the rest of them. Pony jumps on Darry's back while I jump on Sodas. We all laugh and keep walking while getting hyped up for the rumble.

I wish Johnny was here, but we have to fight for him. After the rumble, we will go down to the hospital and tell him about it.

Pony jumps off and I stay on Sodas back. Darry lectures everyone and tells Pony and Soda, if the police show, they need to leave but Steve just screams "aint nobody gonna call the fuzz in this neighborhood! WOO!"

I get off Sodas back and Pony drapes his arms over my shoulders while we keep walking to the rumble. As we walk my smile slowly fades as I get the same gut feeling again and I sigh. Something bad is going to happen tonight.
