You call me jealous one more time, Soda Pop and I'm gonna bust you in the jaw. I'm not fuckin jealous of that li'l kid. I just don' like him moonin over you the way he does and you fuckin eatin it up.
~Snare growled as he stalked through the woods of the Great Smokey Mountains. They'd stopped there on their trip and once again Snare was faced with Pony and Soda hanging out. Snare had been helping Darry with the mustang, trying to get it running. He'd finally given up and gone to find Soda, only to find him laying with his head in Pony's lap and Pony reading a book. This wasn't uncommon and although it irritated Snare to no end, he didn't say anything. But this time, Soda's eyes were closed and Pony's fingers were drifting lazily through the vampire's hair. And when Soda had opened his eyes to look at Snare, well he'd not bothered to move, not bothered to get up and come to Snare. It ate the vampire up. He'd stalked off into the darkness.~
~Soda was following along, having caught him, his hands shoved into the pockets of that black leather jacket. He rolled his eyes knowing for sure that Snare would never punch him, no matter what he claimed or how angry he got. But Soda had to admit he was getting a bit sick of Snare flipping out about him and Pony hanging out.~
Stop being such a fuckin girl, Snare.
~Maybe that was the wrong thing to say, cause the dark haired vampire turned on Soda and slammed him into a near by tree. It cause the large tree to crack under the weight. He snarled at Soda, holding the vampire down as he growled.~
Don't EVER call me a girl again, Soda... you hear me....
~Soda looked shocked, the surprised all over his face and those scarlet eyes were wide. His hand came up and lay on Snare's arm, and his voice came out calmer, softer.~
Snare.. I'm sorry.. I didn't mean it like that...
~Snare frowned seeing the shock on Soda's face and he pulled back, shaking his head. He didn't let Soda go, instead he just pulled him close.~
I'm not jealous.... I just... I see how he looks at you... he wants you, Soda. And he wants me outta the way to get to you....
~Soda sighed and wrapped his arms around Snare.~
You're being crazy, Snare. Pony's just a little kid. He's got a little crush on me... that's all. He looks up to me more then anything. And he reads to me, Snare. It makes me... I don't know... feel better, calmer... and he kinda needs us Snare. All of us. Ace looks at him like he's... I don't know... some sort of baggage, or an inconvenience. The only reason Pony's with us is cause of Lucky. He's not made for this kinda life.. I mean he's a tough kid, but he ain't Tuff, ya know?
~Snare sighed. He half knew that it wasn't really worth trying to talk to Soda about this. He knew that the vampire was just talking himself into believing his own bullshit and honestly, Snare kinda wanted to believe it too. But he could see the want in Pony's eyes. And more so, he KNEW Ponyboy was no longer a little kid, he was no longer just some child that made eyes at Soda cause of how amazing the boy was. No, Pony was older now, technically a man, though trapped in a 14 year old's body. But he didn't say that to Soda, he didn't want to make that smile disappear from the vampire's lips. So instead, he tugged Soda to him and claimed his lips, pushing him back into the tree again. Soda moaned softly against that kiss just assuming, like he always did, that it was all forgotten, least for now.~
