The Perfect Us ||A Sodapop Curtis x Reader Story||

Take Me Back?

Soda's POV:

"What happened Soda?" Darry asked me after Steve and Y/n left.

"Well, after you left, me and Cookie got cleaned up and had cake and chocolate milk for breakfast. Then we-"

"No, that's not what I meant." Darry said cutting me off, "I meant what happened to Cookie? How'd she'd almost get hit?"

"Oh okay. Well, after we left the drive-in, we started to head to the Dingo. Cookie said 'Race ya!' and started running but didn't see a car coming. Luckily, I was able to tackle her to the ground before she got hit."

"You guys gotta be more careful. What if she had got hit?"

"Well, then we both would've been dead," I said with a grin trying to make a joke about it. Clearly, Darry was not amused. "I'm going to go to bed," I say getting up. I'm not continuing this conversation anymore.

I get in bed and Pony isn't slow to follow. I think he doesn't want to be left alone with Darry. Even though Two is still here. I flop onto the bed, remembering the night I had last night. 

Wow. I can't believe that was only last night. It felt like forever ago. I guess the day me and Cookie had was just enough to take my mind off of it. Except for what her ex said. Those words hung in my head. 'Wasn't entirely my fault!' Did Sandy willingly mess around with him? She did say that I wasn't paying any attention to her anymore...

"Soda?" I could hear Pony whisper. I sighed a little, but it was definitely a welcome distraction from my thoughts.

"Yeah Pony?"

"Have you ever been in love?"

Never mind. I'd rather go back to thinking.  "Yeah Pony. Go to bed now."

"Soda?"

"Yes Pony?" I asked trying to hide my irritation.

"How do you know you're in love?"

"I don't know, you just know. Why? Are you in love?" I really just want to go to sleep right now. I'm tired. Cookie wears me out sometimes.

"No. I don't think so. Soda? Are you in love with Y/n?"

Uh oh. How do I answer this? I might like her. I mean, she's amazing. "Yeah, she's like a sister to me." There that should do it.

"Yeah, but do you love her like how you and Sandy were?"

I'm not getting into this conversation right now. "Pony, go to bed. Please."

"Okay," Pony sighed. "Goodnight Soda."

"Night Pony."

The Next Morning...

I woke up to the smell of bacon and the sound of Mickey. Typical morning in the Curtis house. I walked out to the kitchen where I saw the whole gang. Wow, we rarely get mornings like this anymore. "Morning guys."

"Hey Soda!" Cookie gave me a grin while shoving cake into her mouth. One of the few things her and Steve have in common. They both love their chocolate cake.

We heard a knock on the door, and me and Cookie shared a look before Darry went over to open it. Cookie got up and stood next to me, grabbing my arm. I could tell she was scared. We both were thinking the same thing. Please don't let it be one of them.

"Soda, it's for you," Darry said with a warning look in his eyes. Please don't let it be her. Me and Y/n walked over to the door and opened it. Damn it.

"Hey Soda," Sandy said with a sheepish grin.

"What the hell do you want?"

"Well, I just want to say that I'm sorry for how I acted and treated you. I know what I did was wrong. It wasn't my fault. Can you please take me back?"

So I guess it isn't either one their faults. How nice. "No. I will not take you back. You cheated on me, got pregnant, yelled at me when I tried to support you. So, my answer is no. Now leave before things get ugly." Sorry Cookie, kinda stole your line. "Oh and by the way, I like someone else now." Her eyes went wide at this comment.

"Wow. Hasn't even been a week. So? Who is she?"

"That's none of you damn business." I said and slammed the door on her face. I turned around and everyone was staring at me. "What?"

"Okay first of all, you stole my line." Cookie started.

"Sorry, but I liked it when you said that to b/f/n yesterday."

Her cheeks turned a light pink. Maybe she likes me..?

"Wait a damn minute. You talked to b/f/n yesterday and didn't tell me?"

"Steve please, me and Soda handled it. I don't need you treating me like a baby. Now, can I continue what I was saying to Soda?"

"Yeah sure go ahead," grumbled Steve.

"Thank you," she smiled sweetly and turned to me. "Second of all, I'm proud of you. I knew you were a fighter, but I didn't know you had THAT in you," she said with a smirk. 

"Now you stole my line," I said as I picked her up and flung her over my shoulder.

"SODA!" she shrieked. "Put me down!"

I threw her down on the coach and plopped next her. She playfully hit me which then turned into a dog fight.

"Are you two gonna make out yet?" Two said.

We both turned bright red and got off each other as Steve hit him in the back of his head.

This day should be interesting...
