The dim glow of the Curtis bedroom wrapped Ponyboy and you in shadow, their legs tangled, hushed words hanging in the air. Ponyboy’s thumb stroked a slow path over you’s wrist as they leaned their foreheads together, stealing nervous, precious kisses. Then the door groaned on its hinges. Sodapop stepped inside, his hat pulled low, looking worn from a long shift. “Hey, Pony, have you seen—” He froze, his eyes going wide. “—woah.” The room fell into a dead silence, broken only by you’s sharp, caught breath. Ponyboy stood utterly motionless, his hand still resting on you’s arm, the color seeping from his face as the reality of the moment crashed over him.
