Ponyboy comes home for the holidays and is learning how to act on his feelings. - Copyright ©️ | @-TheFandomLife- (2022) Cover by: @greaserbabes #1 in steveboy 2/8/23 <3

Ponyboy Curtis thought college would be simple. Go to class. Keep his head down. Survive the noise. But things never go as planned, right? Enter Johnny Cade: sweet, shy, and always hiding behind his bangs. And then there's Dallas Winston: loud, cocky, and impossible to ignore. They're a couple, and somehow, they've decided Ponyboy is exactly what they need to make their duo a trio. But Ponyboy's oblivious, too focused on fitting in and keeping his life together to notice the little glances, the teasing smirks, and the way Dally's always trying to pull him closer while Johnny blushes in the background. College just got a whole lot more complicated.

I don't do soft. Don't do feelin's. But somethin' about Ponyboy gets under my skin-quiet, smart, too good for the rest of us. I tell myself I'm just lookin' out for the kid, but it ain't that. Not really. I watch him like he's the only thing left worth watchin'. And every time he looks back at me, it feels like he sees more than I want him to. More than I know how to hide. I don't know what to do with this... whatever it is. But it ain't goin' away. [obviously not my characters, credit to S.E Hinton]

(Idk if that's the shipname....oh well) Ponyboy and Two-Bit have been real good friends since they were little kids. Two-Bit begins to start having feelings for Ponyboy. Little does Two-Bit know, Ponyboy feels the same. They begin to express their feelings for one another. Will they end up together? Will the gang support it? Or will it all go up in flames? Warning! Includes: Smut Homophobia Enjoy. ~Layney

One day Ponyboy finds Steve sitting at the kitchen table, brooding, upset, and sporting a large bruise on his cheek, not to mention the countless others and the way he's sitting there, uncharacteristically quiet... so Pony devises a way to get him talking. What happens next starts them off on a different part of their semi rocky relationship, or lack thereof, but that's a thing of the past. Maybe Steve actually likes the 'Tag Along' and maybe Ponyboy doesn't hate Steve like he says he does. There's one thing that won't change though, Steve still thinks Pony's a smart mouthed kid, and Pony still can't handle the Randle. - Please comment, as I need to know if I should continue with this book... or not... thanks :) -
