parings: ponyboy x reader
warnings: none, complete fluff, sadness just a little
you were staying over at the Curtis overnight, since your parents weren’t in town, you didn’t like being home alone, especially in the town you live in. you never knew if socs would come an attack you. you were scared to say the least. but being with the Curtis’s and there gang made you feel safer than anything they made you feel like family, like they actually cared about your well being.
at home was difficult, your parents are never around much, they’re always on ‘business trips’ or out with ‘friends’ they never cared about you that’s what you thought at least. you felt like you were a waste of space to them.
you were up in the middle of the night in the living room of there house, unable to fall asleep. ponyboy had cam down to get something to drink and he seen that you were awake. “Hey, what are you doin’ up?” He asked you “I can’t fall asleep pony.” you said and he walked over to you and sat down next to you on the couch “is everything alright?” He asked “I’m just overthinking things to much, is that normal?” She asked him and looked at him “ I think so, it’s okay to think about things sometimes. I do it all the time even when it’s bad things. “ he replied looking at you.
Pony had a crush on you to say the least. he didn’t want to show it, because he would be scared of what it would do to your guys friendship you had, he loved every thing you guys did together from going out to the drive in, going to the dingo, the park, going out for walks etc. he loved every second of it. Sometimes he would take you out to go watch the sunrises sometimes if they had time before school started.
you looked at ponyboy and gave him a small smile “I feel like I’m a burden to you guys, for always comin here.” You said and he shook his head “no, no. your definitely not a burden here. My brothers love you, and the others do to y/n. Your always welcome in our home and even Darry said so himself.” He said and looked at you and held your hand “promise me, you will come talk to me if you ever have something to rant about. I’m a good listener at times. But when it comes to you, I’ll listen” he said and looked at her “thank you pony, I appreciate it. I can’t thank you guys enough for what you do for me. It means a lot you know. Especially when my parents don’t really care, or that they aren’t even around when I’m home from school. I just feel bad when I come here everyday” she said “it’s alright y/n. I know it might be hard. But I promise you that your parents love you.” He replied and looked at her “you wanna come lay in my bed? it’s nice and toasty instead of sleepin on the couch” he said and chuckled a little “are you sure? I mean I wouldn’t mind” y/n said and looked at him and he got up and took her hand and pulled her up to his room and they soon both feel asleep together safe and she felt even more safe when she was with him.
