Steve randle never hated ponyboy . A plan is made to tell pony how he feels, tragedy strikes the gang when pony is severely injured by socs. Is steve gonna hang on with pony hurt ??? will ponyboy be ok???
Ponyboy and Steve have never had a good relationship. After so many years of spending time together they started to like each other they just didn't tell each other till one rainy night.
Ponyboy Curtis has a secret, Steve Randle has one too. Both boys find out each other's, but not in a very conventional way.
((Set 4 years after the book so Ponyboy is 18 and there's no age issues. Johnny and Dally are still alive))
Pony struggles with deep internalized feelings of heternormativity and homophobia when he starts to see a certain greaser in a different light. Those piercing blue eyes and soft, bitter voice always gets to him.
