    Summary

    “Dar?” Soda said. “Something wrong?”

    I looked down at the thing Darry was looking at and my heart dropped. I knew what it was exactly.

    “Why are you reading that?” I said. I kind of yelled it I guess. I dunno why. Something in my chest felt wrong and it felt easier to yell. It didn’t feel good though, not when Darry’s face twisted a little more and he pushed away the papers.

    “I’m sorry Ponyboy, it was laying out and— and it had that stamp,” his voice trailed off and got quiet. Darry didn’t get quiet most of the time, especially not when he was upset about something. He got loud usually. Not quiet.

    Or: what happens if Darry reads The Outsiders (including all the things Pony said about him) and Soda finally admits you can’t always smile through life.

    Summary

    There’s an unfrosted cake sitting in the center of their table, and it’s rotting away.

    Darry tries to ignore it. His eyes, head, chest, limbs themselves throb every time he looks at it—so he doesn’t. No one’s touched it, even though they’ve scrubbed every other inch of the house far past clean by now. It simply sits there, made stale by unrestricted air that dries it out and makes it unappetizing in addition to completely untouchable.

    The ants will have their way soon, though, because for the first time in Darry’s memory, a chocolate cake has gone uneaten for an entire two weeks.

    -

    it’s been two weeks, and their parents are dead, and darry’s brothers are drowning in tears. darry’s just. drowning.

    Summary

    Ponyboy hums and climbs to lay on top of Darry. “I’m keeping you safe too,” He says with a grin. “Do you feel safe yet?”

    Darry rolls his eyes. “Yeah, baby, I feel plenty safe. Now, get some sleep alright?”

    Or, After Johnny kills Bob, he and Ponyboy run to Darry for help instead of Dally.
