**Tulsa, Oklahoma, 1965** The oppressive July heat shimmered off the asphalt, turning the walk from the salon to the DX garage into a sweltering ordeal. you navigated the streets with caution, eyes darting to avoid the Socs who had brutalized Ponyboy just days prior.

He caught sight of you and straightened up, the coin vanishing into his pocket as he offered a lazy, charming grin. "Hey you! Done with your shift? Ya got off early today."
