#basketball sodapop?

[wildmrmix]

Dizzy as hell but. Sports au. Like idk baseball, or basketball, or football, or tennis, or volleyball, or SOMETHING

Oh my god sports anime’s your characters. The socs are actually just another team and rumbles are games and any kind of tussles beforehand are like scrimmages/ mock games or whatever depending on the sport. I don’t know jack about sports but I am thinking.

Idk who coaches would be. Maybe the oldest in each group or they’re just random characters

Young and Stupid - Ace and Soda

Young and stupid, but not in the way you might think.

Bright eyes and a closeness that only exists between kids who’ve known each other since birth. Ace’s teeth were shining and Sodapop was laughing that big smile that split half of his face as she climbed up on his back. Ace had never felt more comfortable than when she was next to Sodapop. Not in her Aunt's house and definitely not on the fire escape in that alley she slept in with Steve when things were bad at home.

Sodapop was comfortable. Since they were kids, she had always felt a certain ease with him that nobody else in her life could quite match. It helped that Soda fell in love with her on the spot but that wasn’t all. From the beginning, they could tell each other anything. He let her feel like a girl without making her feel bad about it. He was nothing like anyone she’d ever met.

It was the same for Sodapop. With Ace, everything seemed to be… easier. He could always tell Ace the things that neither of his brothers should hear. She was also one of the only members of the gang who wouldn’t hesitate to give him physical contact if he needed it. Dallas definitely wasn’t like that.

Ace thought they seemed to fit together perfectly. Filling through all the cracks that the other lacked. What was it that her Gram used to say? That their souls must have been made from the same stardust? Or something like that anyway.

It didn’t matter, in that moment, Ace knew that whatever her Gram had said was most certainly true. She and Sodapop were cut from the same cloth. Souls made from the same stardust.

Young and stupid, but not in the way you might think.

There were so many teachers at Will Rogers high school that thought the reason Soda dropped out was because he was stupid. But Ace knew that was the furthest thing from the truth. There was no world where you could convince her that Sodapop was stupid. He had known so many things about her that she hadn't told a soul. He was good that way, picking up on all the little things about people that everyone else seemed to look over.

Ace was eleven when she found out what happened to her dad. He had died, she’d known that much before. What she hadn’t known was that he was strung up from a tree in the Greenwood district after being tortured for hours. The kicker was that he hadn’t done anything. Not really. He had supposedly whistled at a white woman but Ace knew there was no way that was true. Black men in Oklahoma had been killed for far less than that.

It shouldn’t have mattered to her. He had been dead for years but finding out how he had died reopened the wound and made it hurt all the worse.

Sodapop had found her sitting on the porch of her aunt's tiny apartment smoking a cigarette and shaking. He was holding a beat up basketball and two coke bottles, he had likely come over to see if she wanted to go and do something. If it had been any other member of the gang, they would have seen that she was in a bad mood and left. But not Sodapop.

He noticed something was wrong immediately. Sitting down next to her and slinging an arm around her. Instead of asking her what was wrong, or worse, telling her everything would be okay, he just sat with her.

Then she had finally collapsed under the weight of it all and she’d cried. Heavy sobs that left her throat aching and his shirt covered in snot.

Soda never complained though, he hadn’t even tried to understand why she was so upset. Soda never would be able to anyway and he probably knew it. So he just held her and reminded her that he was here and he was never leaving.

Despite how insignificant Soda felt, it was exactly what Ace needed. To be held and told that there was someone in her life who would never leave.

Young and stupid, but not in the way you might think.

Ace can remember the night when Sodapops parents died.

It was nearly two in the morning when she heard the rocks hitting her window. She stepped over Steve and Bales, trying not to wake them as she went to the window to see what the hell was going on.

It was Sodapop throwing them, he looked terrible with a pale face and red rimmed eyes. But despite the fact that he looked like he was about to pass out, he had the energy of a lighting bolt. Quick and sharp with the ability to hurt despite that dangerous beauty.

Before she knew it, Ace was scrambling out the window and down the fire escape. Trying to get to Soda before he did something reckless. There was no doubt that she’d seen him at his worst moments, but nothing like this.

So there she stood in front of him trying to figure out what was wrong.

“It’s nearly two in the mornin’ Sodapop. What’s wrong?” She could have told him he was stupid or reckless for coming to find her at this hour but to be honest, with the state he was in, she was glad Soda had found her instead of being alone.

“You wanna go do something? Get outta here?”

“Soda what’s wrong?” She repeated instead of answering. She knew him better than anyone and nothing about this felt right.

“Nothin’s wrong.” He tried for a smile but it came out pained and watery. “I just need to move. I need to do something.” He shook out his hands and pushed them back into fists.

“Okay.” She said slowly. She could help him… whatever it was. “We can go do something. You sure you’re okay?”

“I’m fine.” Was all he said before they started off.

They walked around the town for hours in the dark. They ended up at a park, both starting on the swings and running all through the playground. Eventually, Ace was left sitting on the ground as she tried to stay awake. Sodapop ran himself ragged on the monkey bars and the slide and then the swings. He was talking, saying everything that he could never tell his brothers and she was listening.

It wasn’t much but it was exactly what he needed. For someone to actually listen to him.

Finally, only when the sun started to come up did she cut him off.

“Soda we gonna keep playing on these monkey bars like we’re six years old or are we gonna go see your brothers?” He gave a sigh and hopped down.

“We may not be six years old anymore Ace, but we’re still young ain’t we?”

Young and stupid, but not in the way you might think.

Greasers from the East side didn’t get to be young and they didn’t get to be stupid but that’s still how people painted them anyway.

Painted as young juvenile delinquents even though Ace and Soda both grew up way before their time.

Ace’s parents both died before she turned ten. She was shuffled around various homes and she quickly grew accustomed to taking care of herself. Even though she had an older brother who would do anything for her, it wasn’t quite the same thing as having a mother. She was the one that had to learn how to be a girl and she wasn’t even good at that.

Sodapop’s parents died when he was sixteen. Suddenly he had to step up and help Darry with the bills and help keep Ponyboy out of his own head. He had to be an adult at sixteen and on top of that he had to push down all that grief and keep going.

Greasers didn’t get to be young and Ace and Sodapop were no exception. They both grew up well before other kids their own age. They were forced to take care of themselves while every adult in both of their lives failed them in some way.

Greasers were painted as stupid criminals with minds full of bricks even though Soda and Ace both had to be smart to survive.

Ace had become an expert at disguising herself. She had to be. Boyish clothes, unkempt hair, and a bad attitude became her best defense against the prying eyes of men. Expertly, knowing how to keep wandering eyes and unfriendly hands away from her took skills and smarts that a less intelligent person wouldn’t have been capable of. Ace had been doing this since she was born, it was her only defense and it required her to be smart.

Though many teachers would disagree, Sodapop was not stupid. He could read people easier than any book and always knew exactly what they needed. You have to be smart to keep your family together and play both sides of the same coin with your brothers. But you have to be even smarter to understand how to deal with the feelings of Steve Randle.

Greasers didn’t get to be stupid and Ace and Sodapop were no exception. Not when you have to protect yourself from the dangers of Tulsa and not when you have to keep your family together.

Young and stupid, but not in the way you might think.

That night both of them were young and stupid. They really were the only ones who could fix things for each other. Smiling as they pushed all the cares of the world into the deep recesses of their mind and just enjoyed each other. Like two matches. Like twin flames. Like two stars in the sky. As close as family. Blood mingled together as the world crashed down beneath them. Closer than family.

In the end, all they have is each other. Greasers stick together and Sodapop and Ace are no exception. They may be young and stupid but as long as they have each other, they’ll come out okay.

⍟~ Hatred and cuddles ~⍟

(tahbks to pokie @peachyponyboyy for hklpyng me with ygis and the anon wgo sugghested it)

𝕊𝕥𝕖𝕧𝕖 𝕩 𝕄𝕒𝕝𝕖 𝕣𝕖𝕒𝕕𝕖𝕣, 𝕋𝕨𝕚𝕟 𝕓𝕣𝕠𝕥𝕙𝕖𝕣’𝕤 𝕓𝕖𝕤𝕥 𝕗𝕣𝕚𝕖𝕟𝕕

You were Sodapop’s twin brother. You were just kind of there. You weren’t a greaser, you just didn't like how it made your hair look. I guess you could be considered a hippie? You could never touch a blade or use a bottle, you were all about peace. Steve slightly disliked you because of that, you were just so… calm… it irritated him. You wouldn’t fight with him and never really argued with anyone and it just pissed him off!! He didn’t know what exactly about it pissed him off but it just did.

Right now, he was waiting for someone, just anyone, to get to the Curtis house. It was just the two of you, it was pretty late at night but no one was home. Dally was in the cooler, two-bit was babysitting his sister for once, Darry was still at work, soda was out at who knows where, and he couldn’t care less what Johnny and ponyboy were doing. You were currently in your pajamas, a pair of basketball shorts and a baggy old shirt, a hand me down from Darry. You couldn’t quite get the smell of darry’s cheap ass dollar general cologne out of it, no matter how many washes it went through and no matter how many years you’ve had it.

He sat on one bed of the couch and you sat pretty close next to him. You guys were watching whatever was in the TV, it was kind of boring since you were too poor for cable but it was whatever. You were pretty tired, but you didn’t wanna get up and go to your room. You started to fall asleep on the couch. After a while you felt your body go limp and your eyes shut and succumbing to your tired state.

Steve felt a weight fall onto his side, looking over it was you. Asleep and leaning onto him. He grumbled about you being annoying and stupid but oddly he couldn’t push you off.. with anyone else it wouldn’t be a problem and he would easily shove them off of the couch head first but something was… different… right now. A slight pale pinkish reddish color washed over his cheeks and he wrapped one arm around you. He gently pulled you closer. He was currently just wearing some jeans and socks, he had came home from work and almost immediately gotten kicked out by his dad again so he had just had his DX shirt on when he got there. He took it off almost immediately when he got there and kicked off his shoes. He soon fell asleep shortly after you, his head resting on top of yours (you guys are sharing lice, so coquette >o< <333)

Steve woke up to the flashes of cameras, you still asleep next to him, the rest of the gang giggling as pony took pictures of the two of you sleeping. You started to wake up too. Steve put his arm over his eyes, the bright light that flashed with every picture blinding him. “What the hell is happening” he murmured angrily. The gang scattered and you sat up more. You looked around, drowsy and disoriented. You leaned back against Steve after managing to gain the consciousness to realize where you were and what the fuck is happening.

“Welcome back.” He murmured as he looked at you. He flicked your forehead causing you to flinch, he chuckled at your nose which scrunched up when you were irritated. He started to shove you and tried to get a rise out of you, being the peaceful guy that you were you just politely asked him to stop which pissed him off even more. “God, why are you so fucking annoying!” He basically yelled out at you. You stared at him bewilderedly. “W-wha?-“ you asked in confusion. “You’re just so- so- infuriating!” He put up air quotes as he spoke “ ‘oOh I’m Y/n AnD iM sUpEr SeNsItIvE aNd iM a LiTtLe WuSs WhO wOnT mAn Up AnD fIgHt!!!’ “ he mocked. You had always been more sensitive; kind of like ponyboy. You cried easy and your brother teased you for it a lot. You felt the tingle of tears starting to form in your eyes. He started to go on and on about how annoying you were and how much he hated you. And you just… broke… tears started to sting your face as if they were acid spilt into your face.

Steve just froze, watching as your usually calm face was washed away by your emotions. “I- uhm…” he sputtered out. He didn’t know what to do. He was always bad with crying, hell he couldn’t even get himself to stop crying in the rare occasions he did but this was just too much. He didn’t expect you to cry like that, he didn’t think he had been that harsh on you. He awkwardly wrapped him arms around you. “Uhm… i- ‘m sorry… don’t cry… uhm… please….?” That last word felt weird to say, it just felt unnatural coming off of his tongue. He felt bad for the first time in his life, he had made people cry before but he didn’t really care that much. He usually just said go cry about it and walked away.

He just sat there, with his arms wrapped around you in a hug. Gently patting your back as he tried to get you to stop crying. After a bit you managed to calm down, small hiccups and sniffles being the only sound coming out of you. He let go of you as you wiped your eyes. “Uhm… ‘m sorry…” he murmured out, he just prayed none of your brothers had woken up. You looked up at him through wet lashes. “I’m sorry… i-i-“ he cut you off “what are you sorry for, ‘m the one who yelled at you…” you didn’t know what to say back. You guys just watched TV silently.

After a while you guys started to talk, just normal conversation. You guys basically talked all night. You leaned slightly into him and he wrapped and arm around, you watched tv cuddled up all lovingly like, his hard shell of hate cracked as this was all to try and make you feel better after he made you cry. You guys both had a light hue of pink on your cheeks as you talked, and at the end of your chat before you guys went to sleep you guys shared a gentle kiss. And of course you guys woke up to the gang laughing at you two cuddling and taking embarrassing pictures to tease you guys. And dally calling you two gay ofc 💞💞💞

[ramennoodlezzzao3]

Alternate reason as to why Ponyboy joined the party! If you guys want me to make this canon in my fic, it’s not entirely too late, I could add it into a different chapter if you want

My whole life I’ve been devalued, and I was fully aware of that.

Now, of course, nobody downright told me, nobody says that to a twelve year old, but I could tell it was true.

Mom was always too busy keeping Dally out of jail. She always criticized me, comparing me to my brothers if I did anything wrong. When I skipped a grade she barely said anything, she was tryin to figure out what to make for dinner because they had so many. 

They had three, two now considering the fact I wasn’t even a Curtis at this point. 

If the gang went somewhere without inviting me, and I asked about it, she would always go on a tangent along the lines of:

“Oh come on, Ponyboy! You arn’t apart of the gang, your brothers just let you hang around because it would rude not to invite you. Let them spend time with their friends without their little brother nagging them.”

I was ten when she first told me that. That’s when the insecurity started. 

One time, she was trying to bail him out of jail. I hadn’t known he was even jail at the time so I had asked her to come to my track meet. She had never yelled at me so loud and so angrily before.

I never asked her, or anyone for that matter, to go to a track meet again. I just dealt with the fact that I never had a family in the stands and when I won I wouldn’t have a family to celebrate with. I’d be the kid who won but was alone afterwards.

Dad was loved talking to Sodapop about cars and went to every single one of Darry’s football games. Dad was the one that taught Sodapop to fix cars. He was so happy to teach him but when I asked, he was always too busy.

He was always there when Two had a hangover, when Dal needed out of jail, when Johnny was beat up by his dad, when Steve was kicked out by his, when Darry got into a fight or Sodapop had a bad breakup.

But he couldn’t spare five minutes to talk to his youngest son. 

I guess that’s probably my fault. Who would want to talk to me anyways?

Darry never had time, similar to dad. He always had football practice he was hanging with friends. If I needed help on homework, I could always “Do it myself” since I had skipped a grade. If I was ever crying, I was a crybaby.

If Johnny was down, he’d take him to play football or get ice cream. He replaced one little brother for the one he actually wanted. That had stung.

A lot.

But Johnny didn’t have family, so I never said anything. I convinced myself the reason I never got any attention was because Johnny needed it more. So I let him have it. Even if that meant I lost my brother because of it.

Two-bit was always nice to me. I always thought he was the only one who liked me. But that was quickly thrown out the window when I overheard him complaining to dad about beating a babysitter.

I turned down every offer to go anywhere with him after that. I joined tons of free activities at school to keep myself there so h wouldn’t have to babysit. 

I joined the arts club and got really good at drawing and actually enjoyed it a lot. I joined the book club where we all pick a book and read it. We can talk about it when we join again. I joined the fight team, the basketball team, the soccer team, and I kept doing track.

The teachers praised me on how many clubs and teams I joined and always commented on how my family must be proud…they didn’t even know.

I also joined Drama and got any role I wanted, I just had to ask for it. I got Hamilton I the play “Hamilton” and I got Bert in the Mary Poppins musical. My class,ages insisted it was because I was a “Pretty Boy” but I didn’t believe that.

Which is a perfect segway into the next person; Steve. He’s always made fun of me and always told me I was a tag-a-long. Until my mother confirmed what he was saying, I’d always roll my eyes, now I look down and whisper “I know” only loud enough for me to hear.

He would mercilessly make fun of my height and weight. 

“You’re too fat for how short you are”

 “You eat too much, you’re gonna be all chubby when you grow up!”

And everyone laughs. They don’t even try to stop him. Not Darry, not Sodapop. Soda only tried stopping the rude comments after mom and dad died, and I don’t know why.

Dally is self explanatory. He hates me, similar to Steve, and it’s clear. He hates everyone in the world but the gang and I wasn’t apart of the gang. Johnny was the only one he genuinely loved.

He always looked disappointed when I’d go to the drive-ins with them, so I’d make excuses as to why I couldn’t go after I agreed. He’d have a grin on his face when he’d find out it’d only be him and Johnny, or only him and the gang, or only him and Two-bit.

And Sodapop? Sodapop was nicest to me, even more than Two-Bit. He’d invite me places with him and Steve, he’d drive me places after he had gotten his license, he slept in my bed when I’d gotten nightmares.

All it took was for one singular “Shut up! God, you’re so annoying!” To have my one person, my one wall come tumbling down and left in a pile of ash and bricks.

I should have known he didn’t mean it, I should have known he was just having a bad day. But I was thirteen, and growing up how I did, you never think rationally. I asked to stop sharing a room after that too, and Soda happily agreed.

At least Steve couldn’t bug me about that anymore.

Annoying. Brat. Tag-a-long. Stupid. Loud.

Those words rang in my head all the time and they are what kept me in my room almost everyday.

So, I really have no idea why, but I did something insane. I joined a different group. A different gang. The Party.

Sure, I’ve known everyone in the gang since I was still in diapers, we grew up together, but that’s the problem. I’ve known them my entire life they have only known me for, what? Eight years? Ten years?

Sure, that’s a lot, but when they don’t like you it becomes a lot shorter.

They wouldn’t care if I made my own friends. They wouldn’t care who they were. They wouldn’t care that I took off the dog-tag necklace mom got us all when the gang was complete. They wouldn’t care if I got new brothers and new brother figures. 

They wouldn’t care.

But to my shock, they did.

[rosey-chaos]

Okay so I play volleyball and I have played for 3 years now and I just lost miserably in a game and suddenly got the idea of writing about the greasers on a volleyball team because there's 7 of them and that's perfect for at least one sub and I'm a total genius.

Okay so at my school we just have random numbers for our jerseys so I feel like they would too because my school is a public school and I'm assuming it's like that for most public schools considering every team we Olay is the same

Dallas would really want to be number 1 but darry would obviously have it instead.

Dallas would grumble and complain but would settle for number 17.

Johnny would be 33

Ponyboy would be 11

Sodapop would be 50

Steve would be 46

And two-bit would immediately choose 69 because for some reason the school thought it'd be a good idea to have a jersey with that number.

Of course, to everybody's dismay, the boys do not wear spandex like girls do. They just wear basketball shorts that match the jerseys.

I can totally see oneof those fuckers showing up to practice in short shorts or spandex just to be funny

Oh I should probably explain volleyball for those who haven't ever played!

So there's 6 people on the court at a time and you rotate every time you gain a point for the opposing team losinga point. There's two rows or 3 people, one front and one back. There's 6 positions which are simply numbers. You can set, bump, spike, and serve the ball but you can't lift or carry it. Your not aloud to touch the net either or go on the other side of the court. It's pretty simple but I'm horrible at explaining so I suggest looking up the rules

Ponyboy can barely get a serve over the net underhand BUT he's really good at setting the ball for Dallas who spikes it down so hard the other team stares back in fear.

Darry has a scary ass overhand serve that always hits very close to the back line which causes him to score tons of aces for the boys until he fucks up and serves it into the net. He's also really good at literally everything and he's a ball hog but we still love him anyway <3

Steve is loud and always cheering and his sportsmanship is actually terrible.

He'll fuck up a serve or something and he'll scream "SHIT" and the coach (Mr curtis if he was still alive) would sub him out almost immediately for sodapop or Johnny.

Sodapop acts so sweet and his sportsmanship is really good and he's great at digging the balls in the back row and popping them up for everybody else. When they lose he's all cheery and has the "well get em next time don't worry it was a good game!" Attitude but that boy is actually so angry and upset and is secretly wishing death upon the opposing team.

He rants to Steve about it after games all the time.

Johnny, despite being a scrawny little guy, is actually so intimidating in games. He takes it so seriously and his overhand is TERRIFYING. He's not the same level as darry but he does surprise the opposing teams a ton because who knew this scrawny kid could hit that ball so hard?

Two-Bit takes nothing seriously and he's always messing up to make people laugh. He always cheers the boys on from the sidelines (he's rarely ever in the game because the boys really really want to try and win) and he's so loud too. He's like a supportive mom level loud and he will sometimes argue with the ref or the lines people because those motherfuckers call out when the ball is OBVIOUSLY IN.

I'm not sure what else to write but lmk if i should do more???

[billkaulitzwife]

i saw ur outsiders post abt the little sister and i love it sm 😭 i was wondering if u could do hcs with the gang where the curtis brothers younger sister reminds them a lot like mrs.curtis, she older than pony but younger than soda and darry, thank you <3

Ms. Curtis.

Mr and Mrs Curtis knew they wanted a big family. With Darry, then Soda and Y/N, then Pony and Addie. With two sets of twins, they were always occupied.

"Mom" this, "Dad!" that, "MAAA!" those. Whatever went on in their minds, they always had a great time. Darry never felt left out because of the other four siblings he had. He always favoured Y/N.

She reminded the boys of Mom all the time. Darry was never ready to say goodbye to Ma. She was his everything. Those 19 years were always his favourite. The twins were 15 and 13 so it obviously hit them hard.

Addie never had much of a bond with her Mom, but she obviously still missed her. Y/N was the spitting image of Ma. The boys would always ask for her to cook and what not.

Y/N would constantly try to calm the boys down whenever she smiled too hard and reminded them. Darry looked like their dad which didn't help either.

Soda

"Y/N, you look so much like Mom." I told her.

"Yeah, yeah. Means you do, too. Twin brother."

I admired everything about my twin sister.

She was kind

she cared

she was a bright soul!

But that smile.

Her smile made me burst out into a million tears.

I just wanted to be held in her arms forever if I could.

I love my sister. Not like that, but I just love my sisters so much.

Addie got Mom's attitude

and Y/N got her face.

Darry got most of Dad's features, and Pony got his outview on the world.

We felt more loved by them than anyone could ever fathom to show

or even admit to.

Whenever Y/N would come into the DX just to say hi cuz she got outta gymnastics or school.

"Hey Sodapop!" She'd say, then sarcastically say, "Hi, Steve," in an annoyed tone.

Just like Mom would when I brought Steve home after school.

Y/N would drive me to the gym sometimes and we'd weight lift and play basketball together.

She was always better at volleyball though.

One day, all of us Curtis kids went out and played volleyball at the beach. Twins vs Twins.

Man Pony and I looked stupid.

It reminded me of when Mom and Dad took us to the beach.

All because Darry was reffing or walking along the shore and Y/N was playing with us or sitting in the shade.

I always wanted hugs from Darry and Y/N.

Because whenever they held me in their arms, I felt like a kid again.

It felt like Mom and Dad were home.

Darry

"They aren't coming back, guys."

I looked around the room and saw the 4 sets of glossy eyes looking back into mine.

Sodapop had stared at the floor for a solid minute.

Addie had screamed and broke into tears.

Ponyboy buried his head into Addie's shoulder, hugging her tight as they both cried.

Y/N stood up, tears falling down her face and smushed herself in my arms.

Y/N was the only one who seemed to care how I felt in the moment.

As the others were crying, her and I were sobbing into eachother.

I remember Mom teaching her and I her recipes because we were the only ones that loved her cooking enough to want to cherish it.

I had sometimes looked at a picture of Y/N and thought it was Mom.

I knew I looked like Dad and I knew the others knew it.

Soda had looked up to me for the while that Dad hasn't been around.

After about a month the younger twins, especially Addie, had started needing a bedtime story.

Pony requested Y/N, and Addie wanted me. I understood why.

Addie loved Dad. Pony loved Mom.

But it was Soda who needed the most support.

He would look at all of us together and shake the picture so it formed Mom and Dad's faces.

Sodapop needed us, and we needed him.

He went silent and always cuddled with Y/N. He missed Momma's snuggles and stories.

We all relied on Y/N to make up some story before we all passed out to sleep.

Soda would rub my back while the others had already fallen asleep together on the couch.

Y/N was our sister.

But Y/N looked like our Mom.

Pony

When Mom and Dad died I didn't know how to deal with it.

I was 13

It was hard.

Y/N was then on my closest thing to my mom.

I was always closer to my mom than I was Dad.

Pretty sure we were all "Mommy's boys" or "Daddy's girls",

So it definitely hurt when Darry told us.

I remember what it felt like to see Darry cry for the first time since we was little.

One morning I woke up earlier than usual and the house was more alive than ever.

Steve, Johnny, and Sodapop were sitting on the couch just chatting

Two-Bit was none the doubt sitting in front of the television drinking a beer

Addie was sitting in Darry's chair while Dallas was sitting in front of her

Then Y/N and Darry were making breakfast for everyone.

" What's goin' on?" I asked

"Good morning sleepyhead!" Addi called, moving over for me to sit with her. "Two-Bitch and Dallas stole some stuff from the convenience store and Steve brought stuff from the DX so we could all have a nice breakfast."

"Y'know like old times, lil buddy." Steve piped up.

I looked at Y/N and Darry and for a second I thought Mom and Dad were home. I went in the kitchen to help out and made everyone's plates.

"Hey, Mom, I need another plate." I said in my subconscious.

"Huh?" Y/N looked at me like I was insane.

"We need one more plate for Steve."

"Ponyboy, you called me Mom."

"Oh, sorry, I'm a little tired!" I smiled.

Oh right, it's just my sister.

I looked around. Even Dallas looked worried for me. "Pony, come to our room for a second?" Addi said, getting up from the chair.

I did, just to hear my least favourite sentence again.

"She's not coming back."

Addie

I knocked on Darry's door the first night.

"What's up, Ads?"

I just sniffled and threw myself into his arms. He held me for a few minutes before Soda heard me crying.

We had a family meeting that night.

"Sodapop, what do you have of mom and dad?" It was definitely something.

Darry had a bunch of birthday cards and dad's flannels

Sodapop had a picture and a sweater Mom made for him (we all have one)

Y/N had Mom's perfume and a bunch of nail polish

Pony had Dad's cologne and a story him and Mom wrote

Then it came down to me. I had a stuffed bulldog that Dad bought me when I was little, and for awhile I didn't want to realise I had Mom's favourite dress.

Only because I looked like her when I wore it.

I may not have been close to my mom but I still had a connection with her.

Y/N had always been motherly to me. She was an amazing big sister.

She braided my hair when Mom couldn't

She helped me get dressed when I was little

She pushed me to get out of bed after they died.

I didn't sleep for about two weeks.

Someone took my dog out of my room and that's why I couldn't get up.

When I finally went to sleep, it was because Y/N and Darry had given me a bedtime story.

Pony would wake up some nights and just rub my back.

"Addie we have school you have to sleep."

"I can't."

"I'll get Darry."

"Okay.."

Then Darry would read Pony and I to sleep.

Y/N

I wanted to break down when Mom and Dad died.

I couldn't bear it.

I cried for a week straight

Ponyboy had talked to me about the sunrise and sunsets

One day all of us watched the sunset and I noticed some of Mom's features in the clouds.

Like she was watching down on us.

Darry and I from then on took motherly and fatherly traits.

We would make breakfast together most mornings if the others didn't already.

I remember how Addie would just eat toast or something small

And how Sodapop would eat only eggs

It hurt a lot when Ponyboy called me Mom for the first time.

I know Sodapop and I look a lot like mom but the fact it got so hard for everyone hurt even more

I had to give Soda bedtime stories sometimes.

I told him about Snow White and Cinderella

And I made up stories about Barbie and Ken.

It hurt me to see my twin brother missing our Mom so much.

But it hurt me more to see Addie.

She would come into mine and Soda's room either before school or at night. "Sister can you braid my hair?"

One time Pony came with her "Can we have a bedtime story?"

I ended up coping by drawing and crafting with the others

We had a bunch of random crafts lying around after that,

But it was okay...

Because my siblings had their mom back.

...i hate you anon.❤

anyways guys sorry for no posts !!!!!! i uninstalled tumblr on my phone💔 heart broken rn.

okay bye my sillies ily goldens :33

[johnnycakesb14de]

Hey, are ships still open?

If they are I'm a she/her cis woman who is straight, 18 years old, I have big dark brown eyes and have been told that they look golden in the sun. I am slightly tan and have longish, straight, silky black hair. I am a senior in high school and have straight a's and all honors too. I am 5'3 and slightly chubby. I am also on the girl's basketball team.

My favorite season is fall because of the beautiful colors and the weather. I feel like I'm gonna turn out as a gifted kid burnout because of all of the pressure my parents are putting on me. I don't have a specific aesthetic because I like pretty much everything except for grunge and kawaii.

I like listening to rap, indie and pop music and my favorite artist for these genre's are King Von, Alec Benjamin and the NBHD. My favorite songs are Take me to Church by Hozier and Reflections by the NBHd.

My favorite books are kotlc, outsiders, pjo/hoo and the hobbit. My havorite author is probably rick riordan.

Sodapop but he’s the same age as you y’all would be cute

[wildmrmix]

I can’t find my sports au post. Where did you go……

[wildestdreamcatcher]

I feel like Cherry was athletic and she played basketball and Soda was athletic, but he didn't know it

Yesss, Cherry was a cheerleader so it makes sense. I feel like Sodapop thought about doing soccer or something, but he felt like he wasn't good enough to join the team. He also felt like his grades weren't good enough to even qualify for it.

Full Masterlist // Requests

[kennibean]

The Gangs Modern Highschool stereotypes.

Darry

Definitely the popular athletic kid

You know the one who wears basketball shorts and a jersey to school everyday

Definitely hit the quiet kid when he was throwing a crumpled up piece of paper to his friend

He is quite smart and gets into Honors classes and shit

Probably head captain of the football team

He can play any sport too and be really good at it

Probably would wear his hood up nonstop

Treats gym like the olympics and kicks everybody’s ass at the pacer test (if y’all know what that is)

Sodapop

One of the really preppy kids

He always makes sure he looks his best

Probably is a part of student council or something just so he can decorate for the school dances

He has the ability to make friends with everybody

Is known throughout the entire school and not just his grade

He is low key really nice and is open to everything

He can always get outta trouble because he is Sodapop Curtis and is a master at charming everyone

Johnny

Let’s be real

Johnny is that one kid who doesn’t really talk but listened in on everyone’s conversations

So he probably is the most powerful kid in the school with all the information he knows

And could probably blackmail everyone

But he doesn’t

He could wipe out someone’s entire reputation tho

He probably doesn’t eat lunch on most days because he forgets to bring one and he forgets lunch money

He also is that one kid who actually pays attention

Ponyboy

Pony here is the one kid who is always reading

He has a new book every three days

He will read during lunch, movies, class, presentations, lectures

And when he is not reading he is drawing or taking down notes for the simplest math topic

He definitely studies at home because he doesn’t pay attention during class

He is constantly talking about a new movie or book

And poor Ponyboy. Because he is a drawer everyone askes him “hey! Can you draw me”

And he’s like “haha............no.”

He is also probably apart of the one group who loves anime and video games

Two-Bit

This bitch is the class clown

He is always laughing and has gotten so many detentions for talking during class

Dude won’t shut the fuck up

He does lighten up the teachers day a lot

His grade average is probably a C or B because he is too busy laughing to pay attention

He also refuses to study

He strictly eats the cafeteria food and doesn’t follow the meal plan because he is like that

He will also invite himself to other lunch tables and hop in on everyone’s conversations

Steve

Steve is the one person who kinda migrates between groups until he finds one that he will stick with for a few weeks

He ends up joining the band people and kinda liked them even tho he don’t play an instrument

He would talk about cars with them

And he would probably be one person who is able to not pay attention during school or study afterwards and still get 100% on tests

He would also show off his flips if they ever had to go outside

Like during fire drills he will go and do flips in the grass and everyone is like “woah” until he gets a detention for it

Dally

Dally is the shifty lowlife that smokes weed and vapes I the school bathrooms

Is also never at school because he is always suspended or he skips because he doesn’t give a shit about it

Dally also talks back to teachers 25/8

Whenever he is at school tho he just sits I. The back of the classroom and takes scissors and carves stuff into his desk or the windowsill

His teachers don’t like having him in their classes because he annoys the shit out of them

He talks in the middle of class and is not quiet at all during lectures

The entire gang plays fortnite with each other and you can’t convince me otherwise

Alright on that note.... thank you for reading if you did.

🪕 - 🅡🅘🅓🅘🅝🅖 - ships, tell me a little about yourself (personality, general description, likes/dislikes, gender preference) and i'll ship you with somebody from the outsiders!

hiyaa and sorry in advance if this is like hella long 🫶

okay im summer i have long, wavy dirty blonde/light brown hair and blue eyes! i love anything vintage especially vintage fashion & music, talking about music i love it so much it’s one of my favourite things ever. i also love movies and usually have hyper-fixations on them too. im infp and taurus and im an ambivert as i can be outgoing at times but also quite reserved at others. my love language is physical touch i love it!!

like i mentioned i love fashion and i design & make items a lot, as im a student in the subject, im also good at english language and literature in school and i enjoy it a lot. my hobbies are a sport called netball but it’s only really known in england (it’s like basketball), baking, reading, and design duhhh

i like to dress pretty girly i loveeee jewellery and i wear simple makeup most of the time! im also a lover of all animals. i have lots of friends but only a few close ones that i really trust.

and that’s about it! 💞

Hey there! It's screaming Sodapop to me, pal! I think you guys would get on like a house on fire, I really think you'd do well together. You guys would be the pretty couple, no doubt in my mind, and I think he'd like to try and help out with your schoolwork despite...not...really...understanding what you're working on...but it's the thought that counts, right??
