    Summary

    "Dar-Darry-" Ponyboy wasn't quite breathing right, he was gasping and it sounded like Ponyboy was wheezing too.

    "Hey, come on, let's take a deep breath. Don't think about your nightmare, just think about breathing, yeah?" Darry didn't know what he was really saying, just that he knew he just had to get Ponyboy's breathing semi-regular, or this could go from bad to worse. "In with me, okay? In… two… three… hold… two… three… out… two… three…"

    Darry was mimicking the exercise that he could vividly remember their father doing with Ponyboy during times when Ponyboy would stop breathing when he was really little. He remembered that it worked pretty well, and he was relieved that it obviously still did.

     

    Or, or, the one where Ponyboy wakes up from a nightmare. With Sodapop away at war, Darry is the one who is left to comfort Ponyboy back to sleep. At least they have Sodapop's most recent letter to help out.

    Summary

    No, Ponyboy didn’t need a girlfriend when he had Johnny Cade.
    Hanging with Johnny was just as good as having a one, just without all the messiness. They understood each other, more than anyone in Pony’s life could, even Soda. They could sit in silence and not grow bored or uncomfortable. Yet, they could have lengthy conversations about practically any topic if they wanted to. It was always easy with Johnny, it was always easy when you had a friend as good as him.
    Well… Pony wouldn’t say easy. But it wasn’t Johnny’s doing, Pony just had to make things complicated and he hated how unintentionally he could.

    Or,

    A collection of fluffy moments where Pony and Johnny pine like the dorks they all :))
