The Outsiders - Imagines

You can stay with us ~ Darry Curtis x Reader pt. 2

During the drive from the hospital back to the Curtis' house, it was eerily quiet, but that was understandable: In the past few hours there has been so much happening, nobody could really grasp a thought on it. At least Pony could sleep.

,,Hey Soda, is Pony asleep?''

,,I don't think so...Oh, no, he is asleep!''

I chuckled at Soda's sudden change in reaction, and turned around, to see Pony leaning his head on Soda's shoulder, his mouth slightly open, a snore erupting every now and then. Little boy looked so sweet, it melted my heart.

,,Y/N, how are you feeling?''

,,Tired but happy that everybody's safe.''

I turned away from Pony to look at Darry, who gave me a quick smile, concentrating on the road again. The whole way, he either held my hand or had his hand on my thigh. It didn't bother me, it actually made me feel a bit better.

I tried to say something, but there was just hot air coming out of my mouth. Suddenly feeling Soda squeezing my shoulder, I relaxed a bit, and thought, I could ask my question later.

- At the Curtis' house -

I was making some tea, as Darry made sure Soda and Pony were safe and sound in bed.

,,Now that was a workout, little buddy's growing faster than last year, he might overtake me some day.''

,,Well, I'm rooting for him! Dar, can I ask you something?''

,,What's up, buttercup?''

,,How do you feel since you've seen Pony at the hospital?''

,,Happy.''

,,Happy?''

,,Yeah, happy, 'cause I don't have to worry about him being, you know...Dead...''

Darry tripped over his own words, trying to avoid that specific one word. Even though he was smiling and had a happy attire on, I could still see the shock from the past few days. And I felt it. I mean, after all, Johnny was, I mean is, my little brother, and I would do anything to protect him and for him to have a good life.

,,Come here...''

,,Hm?''

I looked up at Darry as he approached me, pulling me into a tight, but soft and loving, hug. I hugged him back, and we just stayed there for a minute.

,,Y/N?''

,,Yeah?''

,,You know I meant it before when I said, that you could stay with us, 'cause...I don't want to leave you with your parents, 'cause I don't want to risk you getting hurt.''

,,Thank you...Thank you for caring...''

,,Always, little one, always...And as soon as Johnny gets better, he can come and stay, too.''

,,Thank you, I think he'll love it.''
