More of Paul and Darry being bitter exes since they’re clawing at my mind
- Paul used to have a crush on Darry as a kid when he would see him around school (like elementary) (also it was so one-sided)
- They met through football, where they were awful competitive but good buddies after
- Paul was already crushing and it took a while for Darry to feel the same but they got there
- They started dating in secret, hanging out and having sleepovers as friends all the time
- They both knew that after high school they’d have to split anyway, since college and social class would pull them away
- They didn’t break up after high school though
- They broke up towards the end of Senior Year when Paul and his soc buddies jumped Soda
- Darry found out and immediately broke up with Paul, even though Paul tried to tell Darry he didn’t anything
- Darry holds a grudge against Paul for hurting Soda, Paul holds a grudge for Darry being stereotypical
- Paul is quickly pursuing a girl soon out of the high school, which leaves Darry angry since they just broke up
- Darry doesn’t have time to date since he’s busy with work and his brothers but he also doesn’t want someone to hurt his brothers again
