Summary
A moment of quiet tenderness that’s always been there, waiting to be noticed. This is for those late-night realizations, when you can see the world in a new light and everything feels more alive than it has any right to be.

Summary
Going back to the money, Ponyboy began to notice something about the way the it was all placed. Some of the bills were neatly folded and stacked while others were crumpled into balls, as though they’d been angrily thrown in at the end of a rough day.
Or a rough argument.
And all too suddenly, it clicked with him. All the vague threats Darry made in the haze of their fights, all of the spat out declarations of moving on and leaving Soda and Ponyboy to fend for themselves, all the extra shifts and longer nights Darry seemed to add without thinking they’d notice…
It wasn’t simple angry threatening. It was a warning. He had a plan.
~
In which Darry hides money from his brothers, and Ponyboy believes he's preparing to cut out for good.

Summary
I turned my head to the guys, a sudden thought taking over my head and forcing my lips to move before I could stop them. "Do you think they'll mention Johnny in one of the speeches?"
The room went unnaturally quiet, our house was never this quiet, not with all the guys around. They all stared at me with these shocked looks on their faces, Soda's mouth opened like he wanted to say something but couldn't get it out.
Or,
Ponyboy is still dealing with the side effects of his past concussion.

Summary
“Woah,” Darry says as he sits down across from Pony. Shit, here we go, Pony thinks. “You look awful.”
“Thanks,” he mumbles, trying to take a bite of his eggs to throw his brother off.
“Seriously,” Darry insists, his ice-blue eyes wide and worried. It makes Pony's stomach turn even more. “You look horrible. What's wrong? Are you sick?”
“No,” he's quick to reply, shaking his head. “I'm fine."
His brother doesn't believe him for even a second. “What's the matter?”
“Nothing, Darry, I'm just tired,” he tries. It sticks, just a bit. “Didn't really sleep.” That was true enough. He had spent most of the night trying not to cough and trying to wish his mother back to life.
Darry's eyes return to a normal size, but he still looks over him skeptically as he takes a long sip from his coffee. Pony knew there was no way in hell Darry couldn't hear him screaming at the top of his lungs last night, and he knew the nightmares freaked Darry out just as much as they scared him.

Summary
Welcome to my one-shot series! It will be mainly Ponyboy hurt/comfort, whump, found family, and brotherly fluff focusing on the gang's relationships. These stories will be primarily set before the events of the book because I don't want to be bummed out writing this.
