Summary
Darry folded the paper, not unkindly. “Just don’t hide it next time. You don’t gotta act tough with me, savvy?”
That was when the words almost slipped out – I love you.
He wanted to say it. He really did. But his throat closed up around them, the same way it always did.
Instead he said, “Thanks for comin’ to get me. I know – I know it ain’t easy. Sorry”
Darry just shrugged. “Don’t worry ‘bout it. Told Bill my kid was sick and he let me off with no fuss.”
Pony blinked at him.
And maybe Darry hadn’t meant to say that – my kid. Maybe he had. Either way, it settled over Pony like a warm blanket.
He didn’t say anything else.
Didn’t have to. They’d both already said it.
—
5 times Ponyboy couldn't bring himself to say I love you + the first time he did.

Summary
Darry never means to call Ponyboy his kid—not out loud, not where anyone could hear, least of all Ponyboy. But the word keeps slipping out anyway: in grocery store aisles, late-night emergencies, quiet moments when he isn't careful enough to guard what he feels. Pony hears every one of them. And eventually, Darry says it on purpose.
—
He stopped too late. The word was already in the air between them.
Pony’s breath caught.
“You… you said it again,” he whispered.
Darry’s hands froze where they rested on Pony’s shoulders.
“Did I?” he said, even though he knew damn well he had.
“Yeah.” Pony looked at him carefully, like the wrong answer might shatter what little ground he’d found here. “You called me your kid.”

Summary
“Ponyboy, what hospital are you at?”
“Saint Francis.” Ponyboy replied quietly, and Darry couldn’t keep himself from letting out a choked curse.
“We’ll be there in ten minutes.” He told Ponyboy.
His youngest brother huffed out a shaky laugh, a sound that Darry wanted to bottle up and cherish forever. “It takes twenty minutes to get here, Superman.”
Darry couldn’t help but grin slightly. “Then I'll just have to fly."Bookmarked by kocola
