Dallies Winston counted tell you when he first started to feel to much for ponyboy Curtis. It was never a dunk in ice cold water our a drizzle of rain Turing into a down poor. Sometimes he thanks it's fog . Something that was always there but he never could feel our hear it till he saw it for his own two eyes. Dallas laughed at the absurdity of it all . Look at him. Thanking up stupid metaphors and similes for how he's felling. The kid really did rub off on him. He's been thanking about his emotions a lot lately.
Dally sucked in a smoky breath from his cigaret and looks up at the sky . The sun was blazing hot. Striking it's furry down on us . our something like that ,pony would say. But luckily the clouds would drift over the sun like a mist. He may have token some nots from the kid about poetry and shit, but it don't mean he's good at it. He sees another clouds swapping the sun Blazing light . Giving him some relief as he was in an all black outfit . He can guess what pony will say when hill see the black leather jacket and pants. Hill say " hellos mr.hades " and teases him about how " cool " he looks in all black in the middle of summer. But dally likes it when he dose it. Maybe it took him so long to relies he liked the kid is because he would never talk back. He thought he liked the kid because he kept him mouth shut but when he opened it apparently so did Dallas hart.
He took another drag of his cigaret when he heard footsteps . He looked back down and held back a smile. The other party didn't care to hid it . They never did bother hiding there feelings like dally did. Ponyboy Curtis shore did look nice today. He wore dallys old flannel and ... his old gray shirt and his .. no his brothers old pants . " is anything your waring yours our did you steel them all" dally asked smoke crawling out of his mouth like Souls escaping hell . " now why would I ware my own when I have yours" he asked coming to a stop right in front of Dallas who didn't move form his position leaning agents a busted up car . It could be bucks our some random greasers he stole form. But definitely not his. Pony didn't know and dally didn't car to tell.
Ponys green sorry, gray eyes examed dally " well hello mr.hades nice to see you out from the underworld " he teases flicking his black leather jackets .
Dallies bared his teeth but only mad pony roll his eyes and hop over to the passenger seat . " come on our well be late " we ant gonna be late . The movie starts in half and hour " ya but I wanna get snakes and see the commercials you know this " Dallas slammed the car door cutting pony off and turned the Engine on bring the car alive. Dailies didn't even bother putting on his seat belt as he zipped off from the curtis home . Pony huffed as he quickly put on his seat belt then started fidgeting with the radio. Dally drove with one hand on the wheel and the other rested on the ottoman.he never initiate any of theses thangs . Never asked to hold hands our small kisses that wouldn't lead to anything more. Our hugs and little bumps of shoulders . But pony makes up for all of it . And maybe dally really wanted those thangs but can't get it out . Like right know . Being a school girl and putting his hand on the ottoman so pony can unconsciously intertwined his fingers with his like a ribbon in hair .Maybe he's not so bad a poetry.
Pony finally picked a song and leaned back bring dallies hand back with him and resting there intertwined hands on pony thigh . No one mention it . Pony's thin finger were bony in dallies. He could feel the tips of pony finger nails that are growing out rub agents his calluses that are permanent on Dallas knuckles from so meany fights and so meany more. Pony also has calluses and he rubs the tips of his fingers agents them . There not on his knuckles like Dallas but on the side of his finger we're the pencil would go when he writes our draw. He thanks there nicer then his. " why didn't you come inside ? You didn't usually do that. What by the car I mean " pony asked searching in the front compartment for something with his free hand. " Darrys been inching to talk to me" pony snorted and slammed it shut " you got gum ?" Dally nodded and untwined his hand from ponys to fish it out of his pocket . Lately ponys been trying to cut back on smoking so the beast next thang was gum . With left dally always having a pack on him even if he hated the stuff himself. He tossed the strawberry flavored gum to pony. He caught it and plotted one in his mouth.
Dally laid his arm over the seat taking a small chunk of ponys hair in-between his fingers . He didn't know if he feels it and if he dose he doesn't say anything as he pops a bubble " why he want to talk to you . What you do this time ?" Pony asked " hell if I know but it ant good if he doesn't what you there " mmm " pony thanks telling his head . Dally pops him up side the head " hell if I don't know you sour don't ,so stope trying thank " I can't not thank dally that's not how I work " he pops him up sid the head agin " stop that " another hit with leaded pony to pinch his hand . Dally hissed and swatted his hand away . Making pony laugh and lean back in victory.
They reached the theater soon enough and hoped out . The air smelled of butter popcorn and gresse. There were greaser scattered around sitting ontop of cars and bicks and a few fights started to happen. Dally shoved some money in ponys hand as he wonder over to a group of greases he know well. He hated wanting in line and having to talk " Nicely " to the worker. He would much rather toss the kid the money and what out for him to come back . The sun blazed down on dally making him start to sweat right away. He ran his hands throw his already hot hair. He wonders if ponys as hot as him and thanks maybe not since the kid was smart enough not to war all black. He also thanks about taking off his jacket but that would admit defeat and he would rather die of head stroke then do that . He hoped the kid comes out quickly so they can go inside. He barly even payed attention to the group of greasers he's around he was so hot .
finally he sees Auburn hair. In the sun it looks like a fiery red torch sticking out in the sea of black and brown
. He hopes up and walks towered him . He obviously is also hot now having his hair in a small ponytail. His hair has grown long enough to put it in one . He tosses dally a pack of red hots and puts the straw of cold Pepsi up to his lips. He doesn't like sweets thangs all that much but Pepsi's is fine and he absolutely loves red hots. Pony hates them with a burning passion much perfuming m&m . Sometimes when the kid pisses him off he switches out the red m&m for his red hots . Man dose he go all red and he would wine for hours till his tongs stops burning . Meany nights he's had to sleep out in the cold because of it. But man dose he get a good laugh out of it.
He leans down and tacks a big sip . The cold soothing him ever so stilly . He leans back and fallows pony back into the movie theater. The cool air making him sigh in content . " I don't know why you didn't just come in with me " pony muse pooping a blue m&m in his mouth " because I'm too pridefully " pony rolled his eyes and didn't bother to complain when dallies leans down passes him to stell another sip from his drink . " just take it " he said handing it to him. Dally took it sipping off of it. Pony laughed " why not just take off -" dally gave him a look " ya ya to prideful. You know that's a sin " do I look like I keep track of that" mmm no I guess not , but you know you probly do all of them on a Daly based " pony laughed thanking about it " oh really and you must be a saint " I never said that " pony teases bumping him with his shoulders. “ you sure acting all high and mighty there “ dally said bumping him back. He was thrown off his balance more then dally was. Stumbling a bit but was able to catch himself. He gave dallies a glare when he laughed but couldn’t help but smile too.
When they got to the movie room dallies immediately wanted to sit in the back . Not really planing on watching the movie but he should of know better. The kid goes right for one of the front seats and plopped down . Already engrossed In the stupid cartoons. Sometimes he thanks the kid only go’s out with him is for money for movies. Dallies give a tisk but sits next to him . He opens his red hots and starts eating mildly entertained by the previews. To thank of it he doesn’t even know what there watching . Whatever . He plops at least 5 red hots in his mouth and love the sting that come right after. The movie starts and dallies is already bored of it. There talking in nonsense and there’s not naked people our blood so he really is bored. He runs out of his candy to fast too and now he’s bored out of his mind . He throws his arms over the seat and leans back . He thank maybe hill take a nap our he might leave and what till it’s over .
He really doesn’t like movies but he goes because of the kid . Even before they started going out he would go to the movies with pony and sometimes Johnny to make sure they didn’t get jumped our kidnapped . Knowing the kid he wouldn’t even released he was being kidnapped till he was already in there basement. Dally thanks about all the times he had to save the kid. He also thank how he really hates when the kid cry’s our gets hurt. He almost laughed At the one time pony came home with a bloody nosed and puffy eyes. Pony didn’t get a single word out before he came in and demanded the name of the dumeass who hurt him . He doesn’t like those puffy eyes. It makes him feel itchy and wants to punch someone. Not pony but the person to make him cry. That was kinda a clue to dally that he may like the kid. He thought it was this big mystery of why he was felling this way. He almost acted like a detective in a cheesy mystery movie .we’re every clue was important and was a pice in this massive puzzle . He was juts so in denial of his feelings that it was almost embarrassing. No way in hell hill tell the kid that. Like he says he has to much pride for that.
So he comes to the movies with pony so he can make sour he never sees those stupid puffy eyes agin. Hill just have to get throw the boring ass movie. Then they can go home and dally can get his thank you kisses. But now he juts has to figure out what hill do for an hour. Then he fell a eight in his side . He looks down . Ponys still watches the movie but now he’s made himself a little home in the corner of dallies Sid , the seat and his arm above him . He then feels his finger which are freezing cold intertwine with his hand thats on top of the seat . His hands feel nice like a breeze on a hot day. His face is still in throw led with the movie . His expression changes with each seen ever so slightly. His mouth tugs down when some people are yelling. Our make a little o when something surprising happens . He gives small laughed at the stupid jokes and bits his lips In anticipation at the climax. Then dally remembers another reason he comes to theses stupid movies. Even before he relished he liked the kid. He would find ponyboy much more interesting then anything on those big screens. And much more pretty too.
