notes: really short fic for @naturallesbain and yeah itâs mostly dialogue but we manage
Soda rolled over, half of his body now over Dallyâs. âMm... Itâs dark in here,â he mumbled, burying his face in the pillow. He was still half-asleep, which was valid for how late it was.
âYeah, whatâd you expect? Itâs like two in the morning Soda,â Dally replied. âWhatâre you doing up anyways? Bad dream or something?â Sodaâs dreams were never awful, but if he could get real shaken up by them.
Sodapop rolled onto his back again, distancing himself from Dallas by a bit. âGuess so. I donât really remember it. It wasnât that bad though,â Soda gave a little smile to show he was alright. âHow long have you been up?â Soda asked, sitting up and leaning against the headboard.
âI donât know. Like thirty minutes? Somethinâ like that,â he responded, sitting up himself. âYou oughta get back to bed, donât you got places to be in the morning?â
âYeah but not until ten, Iâll be fine for a bit,â Soda said with a shrug. âAre you tired or something?â
âNah, not really. You?â
Soda glanced at Dally. âIâm not that tired right now. I think Iâll be up for another hour or so but weâll see,â he said, flattening some wrinkles from his shirt. Soda stood up, reaching across the bed and pulling Dally up with him. âWanna go for a walk? Iâm too bored to stay here.â
âWhere do you wanna go?â Dally asked, bringing his hand away from Sodaâs and back to his side. He didnât hate having his hand in his, but it felt almost awkward to be just standing and holding hands without anything else.
Soda stayed quiet for a couple seconds, but he spoke up as he moved towards the door. âI donât know. You wanna wander with me?â he asked, flashing a smile.
âYeah, okay,â he answered, giving a smile back. Dally tossed one of Sodaâs jackets at him. âItâs gonna be cold, put it on.â
Sliding the jacket on, Soda headed for the door. âWhatâre you gonna wear? Youâll be cold too,â he asked, raising an eyebrow slightly.
âI got mine,â he answered, pulling his off a chair and putting it on. âReady?â
Sodapop opened the door and held it open. âYeah, câmon,â he said, leaving the house after Dally.
