Now, Darry knew it was wrong. Very wrong. Falling in love with Sodapop’s best friend? Darry being 20, while Sodapop and his best friend are 16 going on 17. Darry knew it was wrong, but he couldn’t help it. He fell for her, and he was ashamed. But he also knew, she fell for him, and he wasn’t going to let her slip away, even if he knew it was wrong. Now, with Darry being the parental figure of the Curtis brothers, Sodapop’s best friend came over a LOT, to help out and get them fed, or clean the house, etc.

She was doing the dishes, while Ponyboy went to go to the lot with Johnny, and Sodapop going to get Steve and Two-Bit, Dally would obviously be with Johnny, so they’d all meet up at the lot later. When Darry knew they were gone, God, he wasn’t going to be able to hold himself back, he couldn’t handle it. He came up from behind her, putting a hand on her hip, and the other on the front of her neck, feeling the ball of her throat bob as she swallowed. He felt dizzy as the sensation went against the skin of his palm. He gripped her neck and tilted her head back, her hair falling behind her, her back against his chest, and his face close to her skin, she felt his breath. ”..You know, I’ll give you what you’re afraid to ask for..” His face was against the side of her neck, his hand still holding her head back to reveal her neck as he stared at it. His eyes darkened. God, he needed to stop. He needed her to shove him off and punch him in the face.
