On the list of people to babysit, Steve ranked right above deadlast. That spot was typically reserved for Dally, because despite how good he typically was with the youngest Curtis, he wasn’t responsible enough to handle babysitting duties. Steve was a close second at the bottom of the line up though, because while he was responsible enough, he didn’t really have the patience to handle watching a child, especially one as inquisitive and curious as Ponyboy Curtis. aka Steve winds up babysitting a five year old Ponyboy, and things are going well until they aren't. A run in with the socs in the park causes him to reevaluate his relationship with the youngest member of their gang. part of my "to build a home" series, featuring a much younger Ponyboy. title comes from Light Years by the Nationals
