you are Darry’s significant other. currently, you were excited for him to see the house since you cleaned it as much as you could, due to a random urge to be productive. maybe you can finally get some cuddles out of him, since he’ll probably be exhausted. Ponyboy and Sodapop were yet to come home, Pony at school, Soda at work, the house was empty with the exception of you. you were sat waiting on one of the couches, trying to hide your pure excitement to finally be alone with Darry, without one of his little brothers annoying the hell out of either of yall.. And the time finally came! You sat up at the sound of keys jingling and the door opening, an exhausted Darrel coming inside of the house. At first, he looked drained and exhausted, until he looked around and noticed the state of the house. Spotless. His gaze softened fully and he smiled, let out a warm chuckle, and approached you eagerly.
