Prompt that created the world- age accuracy pb&j idea ponyboy and Johnny set in modern times, but they’d be as if they aged up and created their own family.
The au begins with a 46-year-old Ponyboy Curtis and a new student in his English class named Tex Romero. Pony is a teacher at a local middle school, he comes across a kid who bares a striking resemblance against one of his closest friends, Dallas Winston. Tex asks why he, and Johnny never got married or dated anybody and starts explaining a queer platonic relationship. The pair have a lightbulb moment when Tex is done explaining to them. Tex started the conversation by asking about Darry and two-bit trying to learn more about this new adoptive family he's found himself in because he talked to a teacher about when he was found by child protective services running around without any kind of parents, so he was sent to foster care and being forced to go to school. Tex mentions that Darry and Two-bit act like Johnny and Pony do with each other. When asked to explain what he meant by the two pairs acting alike he mentions that both pairs act like a married couple despite neither of them ever marrying or having kids. Pony is forced to explain Darry hasn't dated in decades because he stopped being friends with a guy he knew when he was young. Darry is sent to talk to Tex and he tells him about the situationship the old man in his youth, Tex mentions the possibility that Darry was in love with Paul holden and they had a breakup he never got over and that was why he never married or dated even after his schedule cleared up immensely when his youngest brother left home to go to school. Tex talking about relationships had unopened a can of worms nobody was sure were going to close until everything was discussed and talked about. He’d opened hidden lore about his new family, and he was always a curious sort, so he was determined to find the truth to everything and convince his dads to get together officially and his newfound uncles to admit their own feelings towards each other.
It started at two
a fic for an AU I came up with for The Outsiders
It started at two, before the young couple knew it that number jumped to 5, then 7, then landing at 9 with the newest stray their middle child brought home that day. The middle son soda always had a way of finding kids nobody wanted to take care of or were unable to. They were considered strays because they followed the boy around. The newest member had joined when he was only 14 as a runaway from New York with no family in Tulsa to care for or love him. It was only natural for the boy to bring this new friend home to his parents. The loving parents accepted all the little boys their boys brought home, they welcomed them in, gave them food, took care of them and loved them unconditionally. They were considered as the neighborhood parents with so much love to give to any kid they met and that needed it or wanted it.
The entire neighborhood was shaken in 1965 when the young couple’s eldest turned 20, lost his parents and became a legal guardian of his two younger brothers in a single night. The table that year when it finally came to the holidays was the quietest it had ever been because it was the first holiday since the brothers and their friends had lost the Curtis parents and they had nearly lost three other members of their ragtag family that year following the Curtis parents, johnny got caught up in an attempted murder charge, ponyboy nearly died in the attempted murder attempt at the hand of a soc then passed out was out cold for a week before regaining consciousness, and lastly Dallas the newest member had robbed a store at the news johnny most likely wasn’t going to leave the hospital and they’d lost his pulse before getting it back although he’d already run off when the monitor started doing a long beep sound and alarming the nurses and doctors and gotten shot at least 5 times after robbing the store wanting to join johnny
Johnny, pony, and Dallas were all considered lucky to have come back to the gang after the incredibly rough week they had. That first year was the roughest for the gang because of everything that year had thrown at them. It was the first year a 16-year-old Kendi Millier-Brown joined them. She was Dallas's cousin and the only family he still talked to after leaving New York and his relatives didn't want to take in the young juvenile delinquent. The young platinum blond girl also fancied the middle Curtis brother though neither was ready for another relationship at the time the two met. She taught him to trust again and took all the overflowing love he had to give without complaint about him being considered too much to handle or too emotional. Kendi was at the table every year after that, so they had a full table most years.
The people at the table during the holidays were Darry, two-bit, Mrs. Mathews, Kathy, Steve, soda, Kendi, johnny, ponyboy, Dallas, and Evie. In 1982 the number of attendants changed, two deaths, one move, and one birth Mrs. Mathews and Kendi died Mrs. Mathews died a few years prior. Kendis death resulted in Sherley's birth and Kathy had moved across the country and hadn't been home for a long while at that point. That made the total at the table 9 that year. One year before the twins were born a young girl belonging to Dallas Winston was also born. Two years that number jumps to 13 with the birth of Steve and Evie Randles twin son and daughter.
By 1985 two-bit Mathews and marcia meyrink had their Babygirl hope Mathews, ponyboy and johnny met and took in a young boy by the name of Tex. In 1995 the total went up to 16 whenever marcia decides she wanted to celebrate as a family with two-bit. Tex's younger brother was born the next year in 1996. In the end two young adults ended up creating a family of almost 20 people even if they hadn't been there for a lot of it, they looked down and looked after their family from wherever they went to after their untimely demise. They adored their ragtag family that had grown so much compared to when it was just the 5 of them.

GET POUNCED ON!!!
TOMORROW IS HALLOWEEN!!!
I don't know if anybody else has realized this but there was a little bit of unintentional foreshadowing I think, about the Winchester boys in season 1 when they're still hunting the yellow eyed demon, and dean wants to stop to get prepared before continuing but sam doesn't near the end of season 1. Dean tells Sam that he wants to stop because he's gonna end up burying his dad and his brother but by the end of the show Sam is the one that ends up burying his dad and his brother.
