It's the way Darry smiles
This morning you were making breakfast with the boys. Well- not quite all of the boys. Darry was still fast asleep upstairs. You were glad though. He needed it, especially since today was his birthday.
"Watch this Y/N!" Yelled Soda, even though you were standing less than 5 feet away. Soda was holding a frying pan with an -almost- pancake in it. This wasn't going to end well. He attempted to flip the pancake. It flew out of the pan at an unreal height and stuck to the ceiling. Not only that, but while he tried to flip the pancake he also swung the pan backwards, hitting Dally right in the forehead with a PANG. You didn't even have time to react because Dally was now chasing Soda around with an egg beater. These boys moved faster than you could think.
Johnny was off in a corner of the kitchen making what looked like a casserole. Unlike the other boys creations, this actually looked edible. He worked silently beside Pony Boy, who was chopping up fruit .
You looked up at the ceiling and sighed. You were no where near tall enough to get that down. You'd have to wait for Darry to wake up. What a great birthday surprise. A pancake stuck to the ceiling.
Two Bit and Steve were trying to make chocolate cake. You watched in horror as an egg was cracked over Two's head. You decided it's just be best if you finished the eggs and coffee you were making.
Soda and Dally came back around to the kitchen. For some reason Dally was wearing a chefs hat.
"Dallas where did you get that?" You asked
" Stole it from some Sunday school." He said without missing a beat.
"I want one!!" Yelled Two Bit. He ran over and snatched his hat. And the egg beater chase began again.
~one hour later~
Things were messy, but they worked out. You ended up throwing out Two Bit and Steve's cake (without them knowing) because they forgot to use eggs. Instead you used one of the frozen ones that Darry had made a few days before. Pony and Johnny had arranged fruit and some kind of egg casserole. They also laid out presents from the gang. You finally got Two Bit to wash the egg out of his hair, and Dally to put down the egg beater. You couldn't imagine the disaster it would cause if Dally knew about Two Bits.. egg situation. Then we'd have scrambled Two Bit and we didn't need that right now.
A huge grin took over your face as you heard footsteps coming down the stairs.
"SURPRI-"
Soda gasped from the bottom of the stairs. "For me!" He mocked, holding his heart in disbelief. "I can't believe you've done this!" He twirled around the kitchen, plucking strawberries from the fruit bowl and popping them in his mouth.
"You have REALLY outdone yourself Y/N." His voice was slurred from all the berries crammed in his mouth.
You rolled your eyes harder than you ever have in your life. "What were you doing upstairs anyway?" You asked.
"Waking up Darry!"
"Well shoot that means-"
"That's means I'm awake." Said a familiar voice from behind you. You spun around and were met with Darry's bright smile.
"Thank you so much sweetheart." He said kissing you on the cheek.
"You're welcome sweetheart!" Yelled Two Bit, smacking him on the butt.
And for the first time in a while, Darry broke out into a fit of giggles and chased Two around the house. It was rare he genuinely smiled, let alone laughed. You were glad you could give him something that wasn't just a new pair of boots or a screwdriver. You gave him his family. All together. All being raging idiots. And that's all he really wanted.
Tbh I'm so sorry I made your poor eyes read this. I don't know what this is. I'm tired. Sorry all you Darry girls/guys.
