Summary
"Sometimes…. Just sometimes wish I could write to them. Let them know I ain't dead." His thumb runs along Dallas' own. "Tell 'em I'm happy, that I love you."
That's an impulse that Dallas will never get completely, even if it's been decades. There have been times where Ponyboy's broken, cried after a reminder of his brothers: someone with Soda's smile, someone who had that sharp tone of Darry's or his build. Times where Ponyboy has woken from a nightmare and Dallas knows it's about how he had killed the Cade kid, Ponyboy momentarily tensing up, afraid before the rest of him remembered everything else. Even if they've become less, faded over time, he can't forget Ponyboy telling him that he couldn't make them stop.
He can't make the nightmares stop, can't stop feeling for his brothers, his parents.
It's 1983, in a small town in Texas. Ponyboy and Dallas ran anyway after Johnny Cade was killed and now, the law has come to collect them, whether they want to go or not.
