wow what nice looking fellas ! Sure hope nothing bad happens to the little one ☺️

Soda hands over the pillow without a fuss, but he clearly wants to say smth more and is fighting not to. Darry lingers in the doorway expectantly until the dam bursts and Soda blurts that whenever Darry has to be gone overnight for roofing projects far from home or when he goes on ski trips with his friends, Pony also sleeps with his pillow for the same reason.

Even worse! Pony swore Soda to secrecy because he was worried about how Darry would react. That he’d think Pony was being a baby. That he wouldn’t like Pony going into his room and taking his stuff without asking first. That he would relentlessly tease Pony if he knew because Darry wouldn’t understand, that he’d never need or want to do the same and just see it as another one of Pony’s annoying little habits.
