you are dating Ponyboy Curtis. his parents died months ago, so his 20 year old brother, Darry, is his legal guardian. he has another brother, Sodapop, and he is 16 and they are very close. Ponyboy is only 14. his friend group includes Two-Bit, Sodapop, Darry, Steve, Johnny, and Dally. and they all like you so everybody gets along

you and Ponyboy have become super close, at the beginning he was shy and rather quiet but now you two are comfortable and just speak your mind. you don’t like staying at your house because of your parents, so you stay with Pony and his brothers a lot and they don’t really care

it was a warm summer evening at Pony’s house. everyone was just hanging out in different parts of the house and doing their own thing and whatnot. Ponyboy was sitting at the dining table beside you, you guys were playing cards. he was exited about a new book he started so he was talking about it for a while, you wanted to see his reaction if you acted different, you told him he was talking too much, and he immediately went quiet and looked down at his cards, he looked so sad. it made you feel so bad

“no- no Pony i didn’t mean it-“ you said quickly, you didn’t actually want him to be sad, you were just messing around “Pony- stop you look so sad-“ you whined and put down your cards and hugged him quickly, making him smile at your outburst
