{Pony's POV}
I wake up for the second time this morning after settling back into the bed for a nap. I feel faint air on my neck, making me yawn. As my eyes flip open, I turn and see him.
Dally and I are nose to nose. When he sees my eyes staring into his, he breaks a smile and starts to chuckle quietly.
"heyy- what's funny..." I say in a fake pouty voice.
"just your little yawn, that's all." Now our noses are touching. I bring my hands up from inside the covers and bring them to his face. I cup the sides of his cheeks and lower my face to his lips. Our soft lips bounce back on each other, as we revel in each other's warmth.
"lets get up. Darry probably wants ya back before lunch. Plus, you can show me your little gift." He says pulling back from the kiss and smiling with small eyes.
"oh alright..." I say half disappointed. I comply and get up, changing my boxers and clothes and putting the used clothes back in my overnight bag where the new clothes had laid. My new clothes are an army green t shirt and worn out blue jeans with wide legs.
Dally changes too, and I gather my things into my bag.
"y'ready, doll?" He slips on his raggedy shoes while sitting off the edge of the bed.
"yeah Dal. y'know- I really love when you call me that."
"what, doll?" he chuckles.
"yeah... It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Makes me feel so safe with you. Thank you for that."
"anytime, doll." He gets up and pulls me close. He smirks, happy to know he's doing something right.
"now let's get going. I don't want your brother to wring my neck."
"Smart."

When we get home, Darry pulls me aside to the kitchen. I groan in protest as he drags me by the arm like in a cartoon. He stops us both in front of the stove. It all felt strangely familiar.
"so-" he begins in a hushed voice. "how many do you have left?"
"Darry! come on, it's just-" He crams his hand into my pockets and pull out only two of the three condoms I had been given.
"atta boy." he says with a smirk. He chuckles to himself and puts them into the open pocket of my bag that hangs over my shoulder.
"gross, Dar! I'm your brother."
"yeah, I know. That's why I gotta watch out for ya! We don't need you knocked up."
"Dar, it's not gonna happen, don't worry. I'm safe, I swear."
"What's goin' on in here?" Dally comes to the kitchen door.
"nothin', just telling Pony to remember to make you wear a-"
"DARRY!" I yell loudly to get him to stop talking. He does so while cracking a smirk and walking back into the living room.
"condom!" He turns and yells back halfway between the kitchen and living room. I sprint into action before he even fully turns and jump on him.
I tackle Darry to the ground, and we wrestle for a second, laughing all the way until he finally pins me and I give up. He loosens his grip on my hands and falls back onto his hands trying to stop giggling. I lay still on the floor, too deep in my laughing fit to think about sitting up right now.
"y'all are crazy. And I did for your information." He gives Darry a sassy glance, making him laugh harder. We stay on the floor forever it seems, each other's laughter fueling the other's.
