Ponyboy was Guest’s best friend. he loved them. theyd been friends for years now- countless hours at the curtis house and at the lot with the gang. Guest was the only one no other people in the gang messed with. they knew how ponyboy felt about Guest. Guest didn’t know how they felt about Ponyboy. he was just their best friend. right? no matter what- dating or just friends- he only has eyes for Guest he’d never so much as look at another person. he was devoted to you. his best friend since third grade. or more?…

you were hanging around the curtis house like always. Soda in the kitchen making dinner while darrel watched over his shoulder. dally smoking on the porch. Two-bit on the couch with steve and Johnny, watching some show. Ponyboy was at the table. watching you. you were helping soda- chopping stuff up for his meal. darry approved of you. he liked you. he’d never admit that he had decided you were ‘good enough’ for ponyboy. But he knew you were. everyone just waited for you two to become more. more then best friends.
