You and Darry had been dating a while now, you got him through a lot, you're at his house helping out looking after Sodapop and Ponyboy pretty often, or helping out any of the gang that had asked for it or simply seemed to need it, you never made fun of them for needing help, you only made fun of them for being idiots

It was the afternoon, you sat by your boyfriend, Darry was sweaty from work, he looked a little worn but his thumb softly traced your hip, you glanced to the clock, it'd be around an hour until the boys were back, and after a sweet little question and perching in Darry's lap, how could he say no? He couldn't lie, he felt relaxed, warm, like it's home, you're both simply making out

"Stunnin'" Is all Darry murmurs before you remove his shirt and just then is when you hear it, it almost makes you leap out of your own skin

"Woah! Hello to you guys too! What a sight" Two-Bit exclaims, you can tell by his voice he's grinning, you hear Sodapop laugh and you know he covers Ponyboy's eyes in mock prudish acts, Johnny gave a slightly strangled noise of surprise

"Dang" Steve nods, probably in approval that Darry still gets some even while you two play parents to most of the gang, Dally just chuckles while Darry gives a groan, more of annoyance then embarrassment

That's when you realize, the clock hasn't moved, you timed everything just right, well, you would've had if the clock wasn't broken, damnit, played by homewear
