Thinking about when Ponyboy wakes up after passing out after Dally’s death, and it’s just him and Darry in the room, and he probably was all wrapped up in blankets and one of his brothers’ sweatshirts, and looking so young and terrified asking Darry if he was going to get taken away, and Darry just saying “I don’t know, baby”, because he doesn’t know, and things are so uncertain that he can’t help but fall back onto the pet name their mother used so often for all her sons, but also i thought about those videos of older siblings calling their little siblings their baby, and thought about that in association with Darry and Ponyboy, and just…

little six-year-old Darry, upon seeing little newborn Ponyboy, immediately trying to hug him because that’s his baby

Darry introducing Ponyboy to Dally saying “this is my baby, Ponyboy!”

Soda fully believing for two years that Ponyboy was Darry’s baby because of how much Darry called him his

Them growing older, and the nickname being said less and less, but maybe it came out accidentally.

Darry getting sick, and wanting to make sure his baby didn’t get sick

Darry coming home from his first rumble and not wanting his baby to see him hurt

Darry hugging his baby close after their parents died while waiting for Sodapop to get to the hospital from Two-Bit’s house

Darry finding out that his baby had been jumped and immediately running to the abandoned lot to find him

Darry seeing his baby in the hospital, and realizing that he was okay

Darry having to put on a smile and reassure his baby that they wouldn’t get separated, and Ponyboy looking up at his oldest brother who gave up everything just to keep them all together, and in that moment, despite everything that had happened, and every unsaid conversation, having complete and utter trust in his big brother.

i wanted to practice backgrounds and i just reread @skimmingmilk’s fic chart a course to second chances for the millionth time so there was only one logical conclusion

Ok try this; Rengoku has to take baby Obanai to the Flame Estate for the night because everyone else that normally takes care of him is busy, and he got the night off. Inconviently enough, Kyojuro has to go get some baby safe foods since they don't really have any. And his dad is the only one awake (Senjuro had an early bed time since he stays awake most nights waiting for Kyojuro to get home, what a sweetie)...so Kyojuro has to leave Obanai with Shinjuro. Cue Shinjuro having a bit of nostalgic baby fever and forgets about drinking for a while as he hugs and coddles Obanai, sobbing ever so softly as to not wake Senjuro.

jason accidentally trauma-dumps to this masked vigilante who he’s somehow immediately comfortable trusting while willis todd who is not dead and is very much still alive (but still hasn’t told his only living child yet) is internally screaming “WHAT DID THEY DO TO MY PRECIOUS BABY BOY?!?!?!?”

Everything about both Longtail and Swiftpaw, and Cinderpelt and Brightheart gets a LOT sadder when you realize that they’re family

cheap booze

oc | gen word count: 0.4k

Teenagers will do dumb teenage things. They have from time immemorial and will continue to in the far, far future.

So all things considered, Genma isn't surprised when he finds his baby brother sneaking a few cans home to drink with his team mates while Hyou and Takashi are away. Caught the smell of cheap beer in the long before he heard Shisui's loud, intoxicated laughter on the veranda.

Curly in question was just teasing Rio for smoking and drinking despite being the team's resident as Genma appeared before anyone could even think of trying to hide their crimes, right after Rio told Shisui to fuck off.

Not that they'd have a chance in HELL of convincing him that this wasn't what it looked like.

Frankly Genma wasn't even mad that they were drinking at all, it was the fact that he thought they were smarter than to do it unsupervised. Boys will be boys and all that, though. He turned to his baby brother in question to start off the oncoming lecture - suspiciously quiet through Shisui's sputtering and Rio's sheepish muttered apology.

The question of what he had to say for himself slowly withered in Genma's throat when Tae came into full view; curled into himself against a pillar, swirling around the contents of a can he'd been sipping idly from the entire time. Tae's gaze didn't meet his brother's through the tears when he asked if just maybe he could learn how to act a little more normal, maybe then his father wouldn't go out of his way to avoid him, making a note about how this brand was one Jiraiya would always skip for the low alcohol content.

Genma was still mad, frustrated even, they'd all get the proper chewing out they deserved for being dumb irresponsible kids. But comfort took precedence right now that everyone was mostly sobered up from this confession.

Tae still doesn't like the way cheap booze makes him feel. Rio doesn't serve it at their bar.

And he'd be reticent to say, but from then on Genma never fully could hide his distaste when the Toad Sage was mentioned or present, the image of his normally perfectly reserved baby brother sobbing open, drunken tears into his shoulder that night bubbling just underneath the surface.

Genma counts himself lucky that Tsunade was elected Hokage instead. He doesn't think he'd be able to keep an impassive farce if he was tasked with guarding Jiraiya constantly.

He'd served as a tokujō for the Kage since Minato, but the prospect of having to bite his tongue constantly for the sake of his job made him consider quitting.

"are we gonna get separated?" "i don't know, baby"
