Gold heart

Sorry this took so long to post, it's 3.2k words so I hope you enjoy it!

"Dal, wake up. Come on it's morning."

Dallas fluttered his eyes open to see Sodapop holding a camera, standing over him.

He sighed and cuddled closer to Johnny. Soda took a couple more photos before Ponyboy came in.

"Soda what're you doin? Gimme that, stop taking photos of people sleeping it's creepy." Pony said, ya king the camera from his hands.

Soda pointed in sadness at the cute sight in front of him and Pony glared at him.

Johnny stirred beneath him and rubbed his eyes, yawning.

"Johnny, do you wanna go to the park?" Pony asked once Johnny opened his eyes.

"Sure, man, just let me wake up first." Johnny replied, standing up and grabbing his dirty clothes off the chair.

Once they closed the door Soda looked at Dallas with eager eyes. Like a middle school girl waiting to tell drama when the teacher is looking.

"I got him out so we could plan the date!" Soda squealed.

Soda sat on the bed next to Dal and whipped out a clipboard with a notepad on it.

"What did you have in mind?" He asked Dallas.

"Here, this is all I have so far." Dally said, grabbing the paper he had from the hospital ofc the nightstand and handing it to him.

Soda looked through it carefully for a few moments. Once he finished reading h looked up and grabbed a pen from behind his ear.

"So I was thinking, before the date why don't you take him just to hang out, and talk somewhere. Then blindfold him and take him." Dallas nodded in understanding.

"You've asked him, right?" Soda asked after giving his input.

"Yep, he said yes. AND we kissed!!" Dallas hollered, also squealing.

"That's awesome, Dal!" He exclaimed.

"On Wednesday do you mind setting up the picnic while I take him to the park at 1 ish." Dallas asked, surprisingly nice.

"You got it."

Steve banged the door open and stood in the door way. "Soda what're you doin in here? I thought you were still sleeping." He said, rubbing his eyes.

"Something secretive you can't know about!" Soda said giggling. Dallas could help but giggle a bit also.

Steve rolled his eyes playfully and walked out, closing the door behind him.

Dal and Soda looked at each other before bursting out into laughter.

"Well I better get goin before Stevie yells at me for being late." Soda said standing up.

"Are you datin?" Dallas asked.

"Nope." He replied popping the p.

"Sureee." Dallas teased.

Soda left the room smiling to himself.

Dally laid there for a minute trying to process that he was taking Johnny Cade out on a date to the beach before there was a knock on the door.

"Come in." He called out.

Darry walked in and left the door open behind him. He walked in with a plate of food and handed it to him.

"I figured you wouldn't eat if I hadn't brought you something." He said, walking out into the hallway and closing the door.

Dallas thanked him in his head and looked at the food. He grabbed the form and tried some. He was never really a breakfast person so he sure wasn't now.
