"My love for a greaser" Ponyboy Curtis x Reader story

Chapter 17. Thanksgiving with the guys

I had gotten into my Pajamas after dinner. I was so tired and ready to eat like a beast tomorrow. I knew everyone would be there. Even Vanessa was going. Johnny had invited her and she said yes. I was ready to hang out with Pony. Of course we would probably get teased by my brother and our gang. It was okay though we didn't really care for all of that. Pony usually was the one who'd get embarrassed. He'd tell someone to Shut their trap and everyone else would just laugh at that hah.

I was laying on my bed, holding a book and slowly I fell asleep. I woke up the next morning at around 9:00 a.m. Back in New York the Macy's Parade was probably happening. I loved the parade, with all the floats and balloons, the actors and performers. I enjoyed it so much, Dally would wake up early just for me to go and take me cause our parents would be at work. He knew it would make me happy. The night would be dull and sad with our terrible Hamburger or Hotdog dinner but he tried for me.

I turned the tv on the station playing it on television and I left it there. "Aye why you up so early?" I heard Dally say coming out of his room. "Happy thanksgiving Dal!" I said to him hugging him. "Mhm. I'm gonna go make some food for us I'm starving. Remember later we are going over to the gangs house." I nodded my head and went back to my room to lay everything out. I put a nice peachy dress with polka dots out. I would wear it with a cardigan and some flats or sneakers. I went back into the living room and watched the parade.

The floats passed by and finally Santa Claus came out. I had always wondered why he'd be there if it wasn't Christmas but I left it alone. A few minutes had passed and I ate breakfast with Dally. He had made me some food and like always it was delicious. A few hours later it had been 1 p.m. I went out with Pony, Johnny, and Dally to just hang around. Pony and I hand in hand with Johnny and Dally infront of us. I love how Dally hated seeing us holding hands or kissing.

It irritated him from the PDA and he'd be so annoyed. Johnny didn't mind knowing how both Pony and I were happy plus he was with Vanessa so he knew exactly what that was like. Dally had been with Sylvia. I hadn't known much about her. I didn't even meet her. I had only found out when Dally was drunk one night talking about all the Broads he had been with. It was very annoying but I was nice to my older brother. His version of relationship advice was always hard being how he was boy sooo.

Anyways we finally went to a Dairy Queen that Dally decided we'd eat at. We all had BBQ chicken sandwiches and I shared ice cream with Pony. Even though in actuality I told him to get his own but he didn't want anything sweet but now here we are sharing a small vanilla ice cream. "I'm glad Darry and Soda got off work today. They are still busy though preparing the food." Pony said. "Hey Johnny you're bringing Vanessa right?" Pony asked him. "Yeah I am. I'm glad she said yes." He said back. "Wait you guys are together...Damn."

Dally didn't know that they had gotten together. He had known Vanessa from since I was little. Her and I had always been very close friends so Dal knew her pretty well. "Yeah Dal they've been together since late October." I told him that. "You kids and getting together. I remember when you and Vanessa were in first grade and I remember when I first met you both. Now the kids one both of my sides are dating each other. Either I'm getting old or you guys are growing up and acting to grown too fast." Johnny, Pony & I laughed.

We had gotten back from Dairy Queen, Pony and Johnny went home and I'm here in my room while Dal is in the living room calling his new girlfriend he had been with for a little bit. He had seemed happy with her from how his behavior has been. He met her while roofing the girl's parents house. I haven't met her yet but hopefully soon I will. I heard him laughing and saying babe like 50 times. I liked how Pony didn't really give me pet names like that. I found it really, really cheesy when guys did that.

"Hey start getting ready soon cause you take forever to get ready alright. It already 4:00 p.m and we have to get there at 5:30." "Dal their house is legit right there, by the way I heard you talking to that broad you've been talking to lately. When am I gonna meet her." I said to him with a smirk. "Don't get in my business little nosy girl. Worry about you and Pony, got that?" He said to me a bit annoyed. I only laughed "I was only saying. But alright Dal!" After he then left my room.

I finally was in my outfit I had picked and had finished doing my hair. I left my makeup simple. Pony didn't care if I wore makeup me being me was enough for him to just start stuttering. I put on my flats and sprayed some perfume. I then left my room and went to the living room where Dal was. He looked like his usual self only fixed his white tshirt for a button down. The rest was his leather jacket, his dark blue jeans, and his sneakers. He wasn't a very formal guy and I'm glad he wasn't.

We walked inside the Curtis house. Him and I greeted everyone, Dally got comfortable and sat on their couch. I in the other hand was talking with everyone. Finally Pony got out of his room and he saw me. "H-hey you look beautiful." Pony said to me. "Hehe thank you Pony. I liked your button down it looks very nice." He smiled and hugged me. I could hear his brothers whispering in the back paying attention to him and I. Soon Two-Bit, Steve, and Johnny & Vanessa came. Pony and I stayed outside in the Porch watching the sunset.

"I love you Pony." "I love you more." "I love you most." "I love you...mostest?" "Pony that isn't even a word haha." We both laughed swinging ourselves on the Porch. We kissed as the sun finished setting and we went inside. The guys were laughing and drinking beers. I could see Vanessa was enjoying her time talking with everyone with Johnny next to her. They all asked her questions and they kept telling her how they'd never think Johnny would get a girlfriend. Pony and I held hands and told me he was thirsty, I went to the fridge.

"You two have been having fun huh?" I turn around to see Dally. "Yeah we were outside on the porch watching the sunset. It was nice haha." I said to him grabbing some Pepsi for Pony and water for me. He nods and smiles. "That's good. Ya know I was gonna ask her to come over but I thought it was too soon." "Her? Oh you mean your girlfriend?" "Yeah I mean her. But I thought it may too soon for you guys and you'd probably pretty upset if I just randomly brought her and didn't tell ya first heh."

"You should've told me earlier I wouldn't have been upset." "Alright. Either way she's at her parents house so I didn't wanna bother her. Thanks for being nice either way kid." He smiled at me getting a beer and leaving to talk to Two-Bit. I went back to Pony "Here I got you some Pepsi. I know you enjoy it heh." I said to him handing over the cup. "Thanks Y/n" He kissed my forehead and drank from it. We started talking with everyone when finally Darry called for dinner. We all together sat around the tight table.

We said our prayers and ate the food. It was delicious. We had Turkey and stuffing, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, potato salad, Mac and cheese, Spinach, steamed broccoli,baked beans, and corn bread. We had eaten a whole ton of food. At one point Dally had to tell me to calm down on the food and I felt embarrassed but continued on. After wards we had Darry's famous chocolate cake. It was sooo good. I had loved it since the first time I stayed for dinner at the Curtis house hold. Pony & I ate our cake on the couch comfortably.

"So how was your "first" Thanksgiving Y/n?" Pony had asked me. "It was so great. By the way I knew your brothers cooked good but my goodness was that amazing Pony." He only smiled putting more cake in his mouth. "Good I'm glad heh." He said to me and I smiled. I ate some more cake and finally felt really tired. Two-Bit and Johnny who was with Vanessa had gone home already. I was waiting for Dally to finish talking with Darry about their jobs and Steve would stay over. I finished the cake and laid my head.

"Thank you Pony...Thank you for being  mine."
