Summary
“Ponyboy, what hospital are you at?”
“Saint Francis.” Ponyboy replied quietly, and Darry couldn’t keep himself from letting out a choked curse.
“We’ll be there in ten minutes.” He told Ponyboy.
His youngest brother huffed out a shaky laugh, a sound that Darry wanted to bottle up and cherish forever. “It takes twenty minutes to get here, Superman.”
Darry couldn’t help but grin slightly. “Then I'll just have to fly."Bookmarked by kocola

Summary
He cuts her off, “I know, Max.” he says softly. She feels relieved. “Listen,” he says gently, “If you’re ever feeling up to doing something like this again, you let me know. I’ll always be around, okay? Always.”
All of Steve's attempts at getting Max to come back from whatever metaphorical pit she had fallen in become worth it when she finally agrees to get some dinner with him and lets him into her world just enough so they can both pretend like everything is okay.

Summary
Claudia makes up a bed for Steve on the living room couch. She’s kind—fussing over him, making sure he has enough pillows and blankets, insisting that he stay here as long as he wants. Steve watches her double-lock the front door and check on Dustin at least five times before she goes to bed. Steve doubts she’ll really sleep.
Steve’s grateful, and it’s comfortable, but he’s not going to sleep, either. Not while Dustin is alone in the other room.
He hopes Dustin doesn’t have any nightmares. He hopes his face doesn’t hurt too much, and that he doesn’t wake up with a splitting migraine. He hopes he isn’t crying himself to sleep. He knows he probably is.
~~~
Steve & Dustin navigate their anxieties about each other, after everything.
