The Oustsiders -One Shots-

DarryXDallas

"What the hell were you thinking?!" Darry shouted as Dallas stood in the doorway.

"I wasn't!" Dallas snapped back.

"Of course you weren't! Why would you think about anything but causing trouble!?" Darry yelled as he threw his book off to the side and rose to his feet. Soda and Ponyboy stood silently in the kitchen doorway, listening to the fight but made no move to break it apart. "Why would Dallas Winston use his head!?" Dally took a slow step back, he'd never seen Darry this angry.

"What's it to you...?" Dally asked slowly.

"Get out!" Darry shouted as he pointed at the door. "Now!"

Dallas' eyes widened as he stopped his movements, "what...?"

"Now!" Darry repeated, much louder. Dally quickly got the hint and stormed out.

Darry dropped into his chair and silently covered his face as Soda walked up to his brother slowly.

"Darry...?" Soda spoke softly.

"Hey Pepsi-Cola... I didn't mean to wake you guys..." Darry said softly.

"It's fine... We don't mind..." Soda said softly. "Is everything alright...?"

"Yeah... Yeah everything is fine. Just a stupid fight with Dal." Darry sighed.

"Do you want to talk about it...?" Ponyboy asked from the doorway.

"What's to talk about. He's always getting in trouble and coming to me to bail him out... What if I'm not here the next time?" Darry spoke softly.

"Come on, Darry..." Soda grabbed his arm softly and dragged him to his feet. "Let's go get some sleep..." Darry sighed as he gave in and let Soda drag him to his room. Pony trailed off behind them slowly, still sleepy.

"I'm sure he'll come back tomorrow and you two can talk. You can voice your fears and maybe he'll explain himself better..." Pony muttered as he crawled into Darry's bed softly with Sodapop.

"Yeah. I think you're right kid." Darry said softly as he got himself ready for bed and joined his brothers in the large bed.

"Good night, Dar..." Soda whispered softly.

The next morning, Darry was the first awake. He stood in the kitchen making breakfast silently. The front door opened and clicked shut silently as Johnny and Dally walked into the small house.

"Breakfast is cooking if you're hungry!" Darry called. He watched Johnny walk into the kitchen and sit at the table as Dallas stood in the doorway, leaning against the door frame.

"Thanks Darry." Johnny said softly as Dally sighed.

"Look, Dar... I'm sorry about-"

"Not right now. I don't want to hear your excuses' right now." Darry quickly cut him off as Dally sighed and went to sit in the living room, not wanting to face Darry at that moment. Soon Soda and Pony wandered into the kitchen.

"Good morning boy." Darry said softly.

"Mornin' Darry." Pony said softly as he sat next to Johnny silently. Soda smiled at the oldest of the three as he sat at the table across from Johnny and Ponyboy.

"Is everything alright?" Johnny whispered softly to Ponyboy.

"Yeah. Darry and Dally fought last night, nothing a little talking won't fix." Pony whispered back. Johnny nodded softly and glanced over to Dallas who was quietly sitting in Darry's chair in the living room.

"Breakfast is ready!" Darry called as he began setting food out on the table before he turned to face Dallas. "Can we talk out back, just the two of us, for a minute, Dal?" Darry asked softly. Dallas sighed as he nodded softly.

"Sure. Whatever you want, dude..." He muttered before following Darry out the back door.

"Look, Dal, I'm sorry I got mad last night..." Darry spoke as soon as the doors closed.

"And I'm sorry for not thinking about your feelings before my actions..." Dallas whispered back as he looked up at Darry. Darry smiled fondly as he softly cupped the younger boys cheek and dragged him into a soft well deserved kiss.

"Use your head a bit more, will ya?" Darry asked softly as he finally pulled away.

"Yeah sure, wise guy..." Dally muttered as he hid his blush. Darry chuckled before pulling him in for another soft kiss.
