   Summary

   It was supposed to be pretend.

   Just a way to keep Ponyboy safe. Just something to keep the Socs from looking too close.

   Johnny’s good at pretending he doesn’t feel things. Ponyboy’s good at pretending things don’t hurt. Neither of them are as convincing as they think, especially not with each other.

   And when the Socs decide to stop playing nice, Johnny has to decide how far he’s willing to go and what it’ll cost him to come back from it.

   Summary

   Dallas Winston was not soft. 

   In fact, he was quite the opposite. He didn’t care for anything at all, even if it was the two youngest of his gang. Everyone knew that Ponyboy Curtis and Johnny Cade needed protecting, it was an unspoken rule that the entire gang secretly agreed on. 

   Nobody was going to mess with his kids.

   OR

   Dally is soft for Pony and Johnny. 1 moment with Johnny, 1 moment with Pony, and 1 moment with the three of them.
