Darry Songfic-Hold you in my arms

PLEASE DO NOT STEAL MY STORIES AND REPOST THEM ON OTHER SITES!! I HAVE ALREADY HAD TO REPORT ONE PERSON ON TUMBLR FOR DOING THIS!

(This was requested by gorilla-swag-for-the-win on Tumblr, I had never heard this song before so I seriously had to sit down and listen to it about 15 times before any ideas hit me lol. It's a beautiful song though, and I am glad I now know of it ^_^...Also! This whole story is set in Darry's P.O.V)

You can find the song here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZNjo2BQnpA

When you came to me with your bad dreams and your fears
It was easy to see that you'd been crying
Seems like everywhere you turn catastrophe it reigns
But who really profits from the dying
I could hold you in my arms
I could hold you forever
I could hold you in my arms
I could hold you in my arms forever

It started off a normal day, I was in the kitchen fixing eggs for the boys, Sodapop was in the shower and Pony was still in bed.

"Ponyboy!" I called again, he would be late for school at this rate.

"I'll get him" Soda said emerging in the doorway, I glanced at him before nodding.

"Your DX shirt is in the dryer!" I told him while he walked away, throwing a "thank you" back to me. I set the boy's plates down, and had just finished cutting their cake when I heard the door open and close. I figured it was just one of the boys dropping in, but when I turned to look, I saw {y/n} standing there with tears in her eyes.

"{y/n}? What's wrong?" I asked making my way over to her. She ran into my arms, a new wave of sobs hitting her as I held her close.

"Baby doll what's wrong?" I asked again while I rubbed her back, Soda and Pony were standing in the doorway by now, also confused and worried by {y/n}'s crying.

"I-I think {boyfriend's name} i-is cheating on m-me" she said in a strained voice, it was obvious she had been crying a lot. {bf/n} was known for fooling around, he could never settle down, that was why no one wanted her to date him. I could feel my jaw stiffen at her statement, and from the look on Soda and Pony's faces, they felt the same anger. No one hurts {y/n}. We took her into the living and tried to calm her down, we had finally gotten her to quit crying for the most part, when the rest of the gang showed up. A few jokes from Two-Bit and she was laughing again. God, her laugh was so beautiful, she could make anyone laugh along with her. Her smile was breathtaking, her eyes were mesmerizing, and her voice was like velvet. I don't know why she went after guys like {bf/n}, now that was no good hood. I never understood why should couldn't notice someone that would actually treat her right, and love her unconditionally...Someone like me.

When you kissed my lips with my mouth so full of questions
It's my worried mind that you quiet
Place your hands on my face
Close my eyes and say
Love is a poor man's food
Don't prophesize
I could hold you in my arms
I could hold you forever
And I could hold you in my arms
I could hold you forever

It wasn't long after that day that {y/n} broke up with {bf/n}. She said she was too good for him, said she didn't deserve the crap he put her though, which she was right about. Currently she was helping me cook, the boys were out on the town but they would be home soon. I glanced at her, something I found myself doing a lot lately-what I wasn't expecting though, was her looking back. We both stood there for a moment, just looking at each other, before she quickly looked away, her cheeks dusted pink.

"H-Hey Darry" she spoke quietly.

"Ya?"

"Can I tell you something?" my heart jumped at this

"Ya, of course {y/n}" I told her, she took a deep breath.

"I'm afraid of something" she said, confusing me.

"Well we're all afraid of somethin' {y/n}" I chuckled, but I knew what she meant; she had told us all before that she wasn't afraid of anything, and most of us believed her, because she seemed like that type of girl.

"I'm afraid of bein' alone" She told me, her {e/c} eyes looking up to meet mine.

"{y/n} your not alone, you got the whole gang" I said looking down at her, she simply shook her head.

"I know I do, but that is not the type of company I was referring' to" She replied, I knew what she meant then, she was afraid of no one ever loving her back, growing old alone. How could she think she ever would? A beautiful girl like that, any man would be stupid not to—

"{y/n}" I spoke, unsure of how she was going to take my actions, but knowing I would be that stupid man if I didn't try. She looked up at me, that innocent look in her {e/c} orbs staring into my own as I leaned in-and before she could even ask, I captured her lips. When I got no reaction though, I pulled back, fear in my eyes as I looked in her own. She was shocked, unsure, and her voice was a stutter.

"D-Darry...I...I'm sorry" and with that she quickly walked out of the kitchen and out of the house. I stood there for a moment in my own state of shock at her reaction, before I began cussing to myself. I scared her off, she doesn't feel the same and now she won't ever be able to even look at me again. Damnit! what did I just do?

So now we see how it is
This fist begets the spear
Weapons of war
Symptoms of madness
Don't let your eyes refuse to see
Don't let your ears refuse to hear
Or you ain't never going to shake this sense of sadness
I could hold you in my arms
I could hold on forever
And I could hold you in my arms
I could hold forever

I was helping Steve out with a car at the DX, I still felt like shit, we hadn't seen any sign of {y/n} since the night I kissed her.

'Why did I have to do that?!' I thought, mentally cussing at myself for what seemed like the hundredth time. The boys were all a bit worried, none of the boys teased me though about scaring her off, all of them probably too afraid to. They knew I had feelings for her, it seemed it wasn't as much of a secret as I had thought it was, they told me that she would come around, but I knew they were just trying to cheer me up.

"Steve hand me that wrench" I said pointing to the chair beside the car as I worked under it, Steve did as he was asked before we all hear the loud roar of an all too familiar engine pull up.

"{Y/n}!" Soda yelled as his footsteps were heard running to the entrance, followed by Steve's.

"Hey guys" I heard her voice say from outside, her voice, it feels like it's been ages since I heard it.

"Is Darry here?" She asked, before her light footsteps made their way into the garage. I slid out from under the car and stood, only to be met with a sight I had missed a lot.

"Hi" she smiled shyly.

"Hi" I nodded, a small smile gracing my own lips.

"Listen Darry about that night-" she started, but I soon cut in.

"No it's ok, if you want to just forget it we can, we all miss you comin' by, I was actin' stupid that night an—" my rant was stopped by a pair of soft lips, arms were soon wrapped around my neck while I finally registered what was happening. We broke apart slowly, my arms now wrapped around her waist while we looked at each other.

"I don't want to forget about it, I just needed time to think, you surprised me, and I was still hurt cause of {bf/n}. But now that I got my head on straight, I know that I love you too Darry, I have for awhile." She smiled, my heart went into overdrive as I processed what she said, before I leaned down and captured her lips again. She was mine, I could finally hold her in my arms, and I would hold on forever
