Chapter Text
No Pov:
Sodapop and Steve were walking home from the DX, they decided not to take their cars today just because. They were talking and laughing as they neared the house. Pushing open the gate, they look at each before grinning and running towards the door to see who could get there first.
Ultimately Steve won as he opened the door without knocking. His loud cheering filled the house and everyone stopped to look at him for a moment before going back to what they were doing.
Two-Bit, as usual, was watching Mickey Mouse. Johnny sat next to him with Dally on the other side of Johnny. Johnny and Dally were talking, but made sure not to be too loud. Darry was in the kitchen cooking as he came home early for once.
“Where’s the kid?” Steve asked. Sodapop did a sweep of the room and looked confused as he thought the same thing.
“He’s upstairs doin’ his homework.” Darry responded from the kitchen, not even looking at Steve from where he was. Sodapop nodded his head and went upstairs to check on Ponyboy.
When he got up there however, he saw Ponyboy hanging out the window. Ponyboy’s legs were inside, obviously the only thing keeping him from not falling. While Ponyboy’s upper-half was just outside the window.
Sodapop gasped and ran towards the window, putting his hands on Ponyboy’s hips and pulling him inside. “What were you doing?!” Sodapop yelled. The yell was heard by everyone downstairs, who then started rushing upstairs.
When everyone got to the door they could see Ponyboy with a book in his hand, sitting on the floor with Sodapop who was holding Ponyboy’s shoulders. “What happened?” Johnny asked.
“Ponyboy was hanging out the window! The only thing that kept him from not falling were his legs!” Sodapop shouted. Everyone looked surprised.
“Do you have a fucking death wish, kid?” Dally asked as he glared at Ponyboy. Although, Ponyboy could see that Dally was worried deep down.
“It’s not my first time doing this, chill guys.” Ponyboy said. That was the wrong thing to say as everyone just seemed to get angrier and more concerned.
Ponyboy blankly looked at them, “What?”
