This is my first shot on writing an Outsiders fic! I hope it's not too bad.

A Smile in the Dark

Dallas Winston was walking on the streets of Tulsa. It was late at night as he wondered off. Where was he going? Hell, he doesn't know.

Minutes later he found himself arriving at the lot. He eyed the place, stopping at a lump on the ground not so far away. He walked to it and discovered it was Johnny. Johnny didn't look too good. Even in the dark, Dally can clearly see the new cuts and bruises that covered Johnny's face.

He lifted the boy up trying his best to do it as carefully as possible since Johnny winced at every move. Dally took him over to the Curtis household so he could fix him up.

"Hey Dal, how's it going?" Johnny asked his voice barely a whisper as Dally laid him on the couch. He didn't get an answer. Dally only jabbed a wet towel to his face, cleaning off the dried blood.

Johnny closed his eyes as Dallas cleaned up the rest of his wounds. All through the process, Dally never said a word.

When he was finish with Johnny, he stood up not saying a word and walked to the door, ready to leave.

"Wait!" Johnny spoke up making Dally stop at his tracks.

"Thank you Dal, thank you" he said.

But Dally didn't turn around or say anything back. He just started walking away again. Johnny was confused. But he didn't see the smile Dally wore as he walked out the door and into the night.

-The End!

Now tell me what you think. A review will be well appreciated.
