    Summary

    Ponyboy loves what he does for Dally and Johnny, really he does. Seeing their tired faces light up when they come home to delicious home cooked meal, watching them smile when they put on clothes that are still warm from Pony’s ironing, listening to their ‘thank you’s when Pony splurges and buys something nice for them like a bag of their favorite snacks; all of it fills Pony with a warmth that not even sunrises can compete with. But sometimes it’s just so fucking exhausting.

    Summary

    Ponyboy had always had a thing for water, ever since he was a boy. No matter how hard they tried, his family simply couldn’t get him out of it. When he was four, he made his mother call him “little fish” for the entirety of the annual Curtis Family lake trip. This, of course, led to Soda calling him “seahorse” and once the Curtises began bringing the gang along for trips, the nickname stuck. For years, Ponyboy would spend every minute of the trip in the water, from the minute the truck got parked till the second its wheels began to move again. He felt at home within its cool embrace, free even. The weightless feeling was something he would spend the whole year seeking out, waiting to return and hoping that it would still feel just as magical.

    Summary

    A moment of quiet tenderness that’s always been there, waiting to be noticed. This is for those late-night realizations, when you can see the world in a new light and everything feels more alive than it has any right to be.

    Summary

    ""No," Pony whimpered, not meeting his brother's eyes. "You're gonna be mad,"

    "No, I won't, honey," Soda said soothingly, "What, did you stab someone or something?"

    Ponyboy knew it was meant to be a joke with the way Soda's face spread into a smile and the way he let out a little chuckle afterwards. But whether it was the probable concussion, the blood loss, the pain, or a little bit of everything, the satirical undertone went completely over Pony's head. After all, it wasn't really a joke. He did stab someone."

    -----------------------

    Ponyboy stabs a soc when he gets jumped one day. Despite this, it seems like they still managed to do more damage on Pony than he did on them.
