The Outsiders/Heartwarming

"Dally swallowed and reached over to push Johnny's hair back. "Never could keep that hair back...""
 * Any time there is a family/friendship moment with the boys. Ponyboy and Johnny's time spent together at the church. The reunion between Ponyboy, Darry and Sodapop at the hospital. The little talk Sodapop had with his brothers, begging them to not fight anymore.
 * Tough-as-nails Dally in any scene with Morality Pet Johnny. (Doubles as a Tear Jerker)

"Ponyboy: They're charging Johnny with manslaughter? What do they mean "If" he recovers? Steve: It also says how you saved them kids Ponyboy. How they'd burn if it hadn't been for you. Ponyboy: It's all about us. Darry, me and Soda. Now they're thinking of putting me and Soda in a boys home? No way. They ain't putting me in a boys home. Steve: Oh hell Ponyboy, they don't do that to heroes."
 * Steve and Two-Bit show up to visit the Curtis Brothers. Steve shows Ponyboy the newspaper chronicling his, Johnny and Dallas' heroics regarding the Church fire.  Pony is distraught, because he's worried that if found guilty of Bob's murder, Johnny may go to jail, while Ponyboy and Sodapop will be forced to be put in a boy's home. Steve sets him straight telling him that their heroics may soften the blow against them. What makes it especially heartwarming is that Steve doesn't like Ponyboy so much, even having a prior altercation with him because he was mad at a Soc punching his nose, while defending him from a gang of Socs. So the fact that Steve of all people is proud of Ponyboy and has faith that he'll make it, is extra heartwarming.
