#not mentioned is soda doing a victory dance bc he doesn’t have to share his mama

[specific-dreamer]

idk if i said this already but darry is a daddy’s boy and soda is a mamas boy and ponyboy is right in the middle.

like when soda was born darry was scared he’d have to share his dad and only got over it because most times soda refused to let anyone but karen (mrs c) hold him. so everything was smooth sailing him and soda got on well.

but then comes ponyboy. and darry is six years old now, he knows how the world works but he cannot fathom it. he had his dad and soda has mama. but who is ponyboy gonna have? when pony gets here either him or soda will be replaced. pony’s gonna be a mamas or daddy’s boy and all darry can do is hope it won’t be him who gets replaced.

(spoiler alert he’s both. only his mama is allowed to feed him and only his dad is allowed to carry him. once he starts crawling though he kicks both parents to the curb and is all over darry. he’s a darry’s boy (tm). like darry’s follows his dad everywhere pony follows darry)
