"Alright we're here." Dally announced getting out the car. Johnny followed him closely up to the door of bucks house.

"Cmon," dally ushered him through the door. 

  They walked past drunk men and women who usually were partying at bucks. 

As they were about to head up the stairs they met buck. "Ay what's the kid doing ere?" He asked pointing to Johnny who had a wave of anxiety flood over him.He didn't like being at bucks place it was always filled with strange people and a rowdy fight could happen at any moment.

    "He's staying with me here tonight." Dally stated, Wavering in front of johnny. 

    "You think that's a good idea? Where's he gonna sleep?" Buck asked looking down at Johnny in slight annoyance. "We'll cross that bridge when we come to it." Dally answered.

   His icy eyes didn't move from bucks face and a tension was growing between them. "Fine, go on yer marry way then." He said moving past dally into the bar area.

  Dally took a deep breath then darted up the steps Johnny following closely. 


Dally opened the door to where he was staying. "You can sit down." Dally said at him while going threw a drawer. He turned around and threw him a t-shirt.

    "What's this?" Johnny asked holding it in his hands. "A warm t-shirt. It was freezing out." Dally yawn stretching his arms above his head then hearing a loud crack from his back. "You don't mind sleeping in the same bed right?" He asked. 

"Isn't that a little weird." Johnny asked. "No not really why." Dally answered.

  Johnny sat quietly then shrugged. He began taking off the cold shirt he had on and putting on the shirt that dally gave him, as dally took off his own.

 "Alright scoot yer ass over." Dally said turning off the lights. 

   Johnny scooted over towards the wall wandering how the hell he got here. 

    He  contemplated get all the different things that could of happened as dally lied down beside him and decided this was the best outcome of all them. He turned around briefly and saw dally was already asleep. 

Dally smelled like cigarettes and alcohol which would tell most people to "stay away they're not really the best kind of person." But for Johnny it smelt surprisingly of protection, knowing some brute was around to back you up.

   Johnny cleared his head and finally fell asleep.


  The next morning dally got up a tad disoriented by the shape laying next to him. He then realized it was Johnny. He scoffed at the younger male who was drooling a little on his pillow. 

  Dally sat on the side of the bed. He scratched his head wondering what to do. Deciding he wasn't tired enough to go back to sleep he got up,picked up his shirt from the night before, put it on and went to go downstairs.

  He shut the door behind him and walked down the stairs.  

   He turned around a chair at the bar and took a seat. Apparently no one was up yet.Not even buck which was unusual unless he had a girl over.

His thoughts were later confirmed when a young brunette trotted across the bar room towards the exit giving dal a quick glance then disappeared out the door. 

A few minutes later a few curt knocks came from the same door. He groaned and walked over to it opening it up to see Eden on the other side 

" What the hell are you doing here so early?" 

"EARLY!" Eden half shouted. "Man I don't where you've been but it's 10:00!".

"Are you kidding me?" He asked rubbing the back of his neck realizing how late in the morning it was, even when he stayed up all hours he usually didn't sleep in this late.

"You had a girl over last night didn't you?" They shot a toothy grin at him. Dally let out a sigh "complete opposite. Johnny came over last night.he got in an argument with his parents." He lied. Not wanting to tell Eden the real reason and potray johnnys trust.

"Here cmon in and take a seat at the bar." Dally moved out of the doorway and let them in.

They plopped down on a bar stool.dally following in suite next to them.

  "Why are you here?" Dally asked irritatingly. "Oh yeah I need to know where to get a pocket knife, I dought you'd be da one to know." They explained. 

"Nah you better ask two-bit he'd know... Wait why do you need one?"

"Oh, eh it's not what you dinks." There accent becoming more apparent in there anxiousness. "Um I was gonna go look for some rabbits." 

"Rabbits?" Dally looked at them weirdly. 

"Yeah um I-" they cut themselves off. "What?" He realized that they were looking pass him. He turned around and saw Johnny looking at him wide eyed. Dally looked at him up and down the shirt dally gave him fell little ways past his hips.Dally  felt the slightest twinge of something....foreign like longing. The feeling quickly disapated. He realized Eden slipping off the barstool

They turned around to long at them both smiled then just left.

"What was that about?" Johnny asked taking a seat next to dally.

"When do we know anything about that kid,they came looking for a pocket knife or something."

"Why?" Johnnys voice seemed somewhat anxious. "Rabbits apparently." Dally snorted and shook his head.

"Anyways what do you want to do today?"
