I think that Darry likes Ponyboy in some ways. He kinda thinks that Ponyboy is a good kid.
In contrast to this close loving relationship with Sodapop is Ponyboy's volatile relationship with his oldest brother, Darry. Pony and Darry are always at odds. Darry gets frustrated because Ponyboy "never thinks" and is always doing things that put the family's living arrangements at risk. Darry is the "father figure" since the death of the boy's parents. If they get into trouble the state agency will separate them. Darry is working two jobs to try to keep the family together and is hard on Ponyboy because he has to be. It isn't until the end of the novel that Ponyboy grows up enough to realize that Darry and he may not ever be close, but Darry really does love him.
Darry slaps Ponyboy because ponyboy was sassing back at him

Soda tells Ponyboy that Darry loves him (Ponyboy) but he does not understand him. Ponyboy only see the strict side of Darry.
He feels guilty. He knows that he and Soda were part of the reason why those two were not friends any more. Ponyboy knows that Darry is not a soc is because Darry has to take care of him and Soda.
Darry's crying have such a profound effect on Ponyboy because Ponyboy realizes that Darry does care and love him after all. At the beginning of the story Ponyboy thinks Darry doesn't like and he thinks he likes Sodapop. But then of the story when Darry starts crying, Ponyboy realizes that Darry does care about him.
Darry reaction from seeing Ponyboy in the hospital is a few. One reaction that he had was relief that Ponyboy was ok. Another reaction was that he was scared and that Ponyboy might still might be mad at him. Finally he was happy because he had his brother back and that his family was finally together again safe and sound.
Darry is upset with Ponyboy because Ponyboy has the chance to be and do something with his life, but Ponyboy is not listening and wasting his talents. Ponyboy is a bright kid, but he does not use his head half the time and that is why Darry gets so mad and upset with him.
Ponyboy has seen Darry cry at the hospital when he went to see Ponyboy after the fire incident to take him home. It was the first time Ponyboy ever saw Darry cry. Your welcome ☺
