The Talk😏/ Curtis bros

"Come and get it!" Darry called out to Soda and Pony right when he finished preparing the food.
Both of them came scrambling to Darry from different parts of the house.
They all set the table and and sat in their chairs.
They ate in silence, until Soda broke it.
"Hey, Pony! It's almost you're birthday."
"Yeah...so?"
"So?! You're turning fourteen! Man, you're growing up quickly before our very eyes, kid brother. I 'member when you was just little. Soon Ponyboy is going to be Horseman."
Pony cringed a bit at Soda's comments.
Darry chuckled and nodded, agreeing.
Yeah, Pony is growing up quickly. Darry thought as he chuckled to himself. Then his smile faded quickly. Oh no, he's growing up. What if something bad happens? Bad stuff already happens to him 'cus he doesn't use his head...Soon he's going to drive and be on his own. He'll get a girl someday...shit does he know about being safe and using protection? Of course he won't, he never thinks twice. What about Soda too? He's with Sandy, they're bound to do it. I better ask him too for good measure, just to be safe. Ugh, I wish dad was still here to do this instead of me...
Darry ran his fingers through his hair as he quietly mumbled to himself with frustration.
Soda and Pony looked at him with confusion.
"Something wrong, Darry?" Soda asked.
"Uh, no." He said, snapping back into reality.
He was about to ask them the big question but then he stopped himself because they were eating dinner, probably isn't the best time to talk about the birds and the bees.
"I just need to talk with y'all about something after dinner." Darry said, "Meet me in the living room before bed."
"What did I do now?" Pony asked, nervously unsure and slow. He thought he was in trouble again.
Soda cocked an eyebrow and eyed at Darry with suspicion.
"No, none of you did nothing wrong." Darry said, "Just need to talk a bit."
Soda had a feeling he knew what Darry was going to talk about.
After dinner, Pony and Soda cleaned up the dishes and went to get cleaned up themselves.
While Darry was waiting for them, he walked back and forth around the living room, biting his nails while he did.
He started rehearsing the lecture he was going to give to them.
Then Pony and Soda walked together to the living room.
They sat on the couch while Darry decided to stand up.
Darry loudly cleared his throat and held his hands together.
"Since dad isn't here to do this, I will. I know that both of you, especially Pony, are growing older now." He started off, "You guys are trying new things and going on your own. Soon, Pony, you'll have a girl...just like Soda has Sandy. And...once you guys really love each other, you have urges to...do it with each other."
"I knew it!" Soda groaned as he fell back on the couch.
Pony's eyes widened in shock and he turned beet red, his big brother was going to give him the talk.
"But why am I in this?" Soda asked, "I know all that stuff and Sandy and I do it all the time."
Pony looked extremely disturbed, it was that moment when Pony now saw his brother differently. Soda realized he shouldn't have said that in front of Pony.
"Okay, didn't need to know that." Darry said uncomfortably, then his eyes widened and he looked at Soda with concern, "You use condoms right?!"
"Yeah, yeah!" Soda said, "Don't worry! I have them in my drawer and I always use them!"
Pony looked like his soul was leaving his body.
"Okay, that's good to here." Darry sighed of relief, "I just called you in too just to check if you didn't know. You can go now."
Soda smiled and got up to go to the bedroom. But before he reached the doorway, he looked back at Pony with a smirk.
"Good luck." He said in a low voice as he left.
Pony was utterly speechless. He wanted to scream "Take me with you!" or run out of the front door.
But he was stuck with Darry giving him the talk.
"So, Ponyboy." Darry said as he sat next to him, "When you and your lover are ready to go at it, you need to be careful and safe. I'm not saying that sex is bad and you shouldn't do it until marriage, believe me, I've done it before, multiple times actually. But you have to be very VERY careful. First of all-,"
Pony couldn't take it.
"Ah! Darry!" Pony yelled uncomfortably, interrupting Darry as he stood up, "Please! I know all that stuff and they taught it at school! I don't need it again, especially from you. This is getting way too uncomfortable!"
"So, you know how to be safe during-,"
"YES! I know. Can I please go?"
"...okay, but remember it! I know you don't use your head Pony so bury it deep in your mind so you always remember it!"
Pony scrambled back to his room quickly.
"Welp, that went well." Darry shrugged as he casually went to bed.

"So," Soda said slyly, "How was it?"
Pony didn't say anything, but his face said it all.
Soda laid in bed and told Pony to come sleep.
Now, hearing that Soda and Sandy do it all the time, Pony couldn't look Soda in the face.
He was scared and disgusted to climb into bed too, he didn't want to know the awful things that went on in his own bed.
Pony couldn't sleep that night, and the day after that.
