Ok, after having posted the last chapter I decided to get an early start on the next few. Thank you for sticking with me throughout this story which is proving to be longer than I at first predicted. In this chapter you will see glimmers of future relationships, but I warn you it is only glimmers. The only ones you will see getting closer for the most part is the main pairing. I hope every one of ya’ll enjoy this next little installment. Now for the usual disclaimer, I don’t own the Outsiders. I’m not making any money off this story, I’m only gaining a little entertainment from Hinton’s characters. Now, on with the fic.

Chapter 9- Closer, Please
The next few days were a blur for the greaser gang. They passed by in a blink for Steve, Soda and Darry. When they were not at the hospital they were either at work or at home in bed. What rest they got was filled with dreams of retribution for the youngest of their gang. Two Bit stayed at the hospital during the days for a couple hours before going home to watch over his sister; Johnny stayed all day, watching over his friend during his convalescence and keeping Dal company. Dallas was ever present, only leaving the hospital briefly to go to Buck’s to shower and change clothes and to grab something to eat. His nights were spent in the uncomfortable chair by his love’s bedside, his head on the bed and hand cradled in Ponyboy’s.
The young greaser had constant visitors from their neighborhood, including Curly and Tim Shephard. Talk had quickly spread about the boy being jumped and a rally cry had arisen for revenge for one of their own. The boys wanted to wait for Ponyboy to be out of the hospital and safe at home before arranging a time and place for the rumble, leaving one guy at home to watch over the boy. It was unanimous that Johnny would stay with him, thus leaving the youngest and most vulnerable of the boys safely ensconced at home.
After visiting hours were over at night and the boys had all gone home to rest, Dally would pull his chair over close to the bedside, holding Pony’s hand and tenderly brushing his hair off his forehead or running a cool, wet cloth over his face where there were no bandages to help soothe the sting of his bruises briefly.
It wasn’t until two nights after Ponyboy had awoken that things came to a head between the two boys. Dallas, having been running a wet cloth over the boy’s face, thought Pony had fallen into a doze. He leaned over, brushing his lips lightly over the other boy’s, and was startled when Pony’s eyes opened and his lips responded. It was a light kiss, a mere brush of lips, but when Dally felt him respond it became more. The kiss became deeper, tongues entwining and teeth nipping. After several minutes of the sweet torment Dally pulled back slightly, looking into his boy’s eyes. A slight haze was visible, desire and love swirling in the grey-green depths.
“I was wondering when you’d get around to doing that, Dal. For a while there I thought I’d have to do it after you told me you loved me the other night. I heard you, ya know, while I was asleep. I wanted to tell you I loved you too but the drugs kept me from telling you. I’ve been waiting for you to make a move since, figuring I’d tell you then.”
“I didn’t want to hurt ya, kid. I just couldn’t help myself tonight, seeing ya laying there. I’ve been kicking myself for having left ya the other day, if I’d have stayed you wouldn’t be like this. When Johnny told me what was happening I thought we were gonna lose ya.”
Stark emotion shone in the normally icy eyes, a shade of anguish and hurt visible over the memories. Guilt was present also, making his eyes darken and Pony, seeing this, pulled Dally closer and pressed a gentle kiss on his lips, telling him without words that he was not at fault. Ponyboy grabbed the others’ arm, pulling him into the bed with him.
“Sleep with me, Dal. The bed has to be more comfortable than that chair.”
Dallas pulled the younger boy close, holding him softly so he didn’t hurt him, but close enough so Pony would feel the warmth of the body beside him. Grabbing Pony’s good hand softly, he entwined their fingers. With a content sigh, the younger boy closed his eyes and slowly drifted off, leaving the blonde watching over him; Brushing his hand softly over his cheek and brushing his hair away from his forehead before he, too, fell asleep.
Morning came quickly to the two entwined on the bed, early morning sunshine slowly creeping in through the window and bathing the boys in its’ soft glow. The town outside was slowly awakening, people getting up and going to work or just walking around. The sweet sound of birdsong woke Ponyboy up, who blinked and gazed around confusedly before his sleepy eyes rested on his dozing companion. In repose the other boy looked softer, content and closer to his true age than when he was awake and his shield were in place.
With a small mischievous smile the boy leaned down close and kissed him softly before running the fingers of his good hand over his cheek. The blue eyes slowly opened, slightly startled before focusing on who was in bed with him. A genuine smile flashed briefly before he leaned up and sealed his mouth to the one hovering above him.
Kisses were exchanged, positions shifted to get closer and Pony had his good hand carding through the blonde hair of his lover. Slowly the kisses changed, tenderness taking over and slowing the kisses to a soft brushing of lips. Before they were ready to stop they heard the sound of familiar voices coming closer to the room they were in and, with a last soft kiss, Dallas shifted and got to his feet, running his hand over his hair to bring some order to the tousled strands. Emotion laden glances were shared between the two before the door slowly opened to reveal the rest of the gang.
The other boys seemed to be in higher spirits than they had as of late; Darry and Two Bit were teasing each other, Steve and Soda standing close together and chatting and Johnny with a smile on his face at seeing his two best friends looking happy. To him it was blatantly obvious that they had interrupted something, the secret glances and kiss swollen lips of his friends attesting to that, but the other boys were so engrossed in what they were doing they didn’t notice.
The morning brought with it a happiness that was not seen previous, relationships becoming closer and more intimate and a sense of peace was exuding from the group. Things, while having started out bad earlier in the week, seemed to be turning for the better for their little group. If the fragile happiness could bloom in the uncertain times then the darkness of the last months could be overtaken with the soft glow of something new and good.

*I’m ending this chapter here. For those who have waited for a little closeness between the two boys here you are. This chapter is dedicated to my loyal reviewers, thank you all for your encouragement and suggestions. Please let me know what you think and let me know if you want anything special added into the story. I am still trying to figure out who to pair Johnny with, it has been suggested an OC, but I want your opinions on how you would like this OC. I hope you enjoyed this chapter and I’m going to be starting on the next soon, the same goes with the next chapter for my Phoenix story. Have a good week and blessed be.
