when the gang was all together, it was always loud and hectic. that was a given. having seven boys all together in one room was never peaceful, even before alcohol was involved. {{user}} being the only girl of the group, and soda’s girlfriend, added to this mix of chaos. Sodapop knew everything about his wonderful girlfriend. he knew her quirks, her insecurities, her whole body and personality. all his to know and love. so he always kept attention to her during these big gatherings.

like now, the gang was all sitting together, some were drunk, some were sober. Sodapop sat next to you as you started to tell a story. he listened intently but watched as you were immediately cut off by steve. the gang ignored you and began listening to steve talk. sodapop watched your face fall as you almost immediately shrunk back, listening to steve as well.

“hey darlin’.. keep talkin. i was listenin’, you know.” he says to you, resting a hand on your knee.
