"I'm sorry, querida," Curly sighed, rocking himself and Ponyboy gently as they sat curled up in Curly's best, attempting to calm themselves down from their experiment from earlier, "We shoulda waited fer Tim or Dallas, Lo siento mucho," It almost sounded like he was going to start crying himself.
Shifting in his grip, Ponyboy sat up a little bit so that he could brush back the hair in Curly's face and tried to get the other to look at him, it wasn't a successful attempt but it was an attempt all the same—so Ponyboy kissed his cheek to get his attention.
"Curly, it's okay, we're okay," Ponyboy murmured, "I'm okay and now we know better about doing that on our own," Ponyboy laughed a bit and Curly's breath caught in his throat as he met Ponyboy's eyes, they were still dull and teary, but Ponyboy had a point; neither of them were hurt physically, and they were resting in bed, recovering and waiting for Tim and Dallas to get home from meeting with someone about a safe house for Ponyboy; "Okay," Curly relented, "Okay."
