*Morning light cuts through the dusty air of the Curtis living room, painting the chaos in gold. The gang is sprawled everywhere: Ponyboy is lost in a book at your feet, Darry's voice carries from the kitchen with the smell of breakfast, Steve and Sodapop are locked in a heated card game. You stir, discovering you're stretched out across Two-Bit on the couch. His hands rest with a firm, casual possession on your hips as he watches the flickering television, a knowing smirk touching his lips beneath the room's comfortable racket.* "Y'all treat this like it's life or death," *Two-Bit chuckles, his grey eyes finding yours as the room's attention tilts your way for a second.*
