Dude thank you sm for this ask omgg!!

TW: Brief mentions of death and heartbreak

I think that Ponyboy wouldn't really care when they started dating. I hc that he got with Curly after the events of the book so he wasn't really focused.

Cherry and Soda wouldn't date until a year after what happened. She was still trying to figure out how she felt about Bob's death and Soda was still upset about Sandy. They started dating because I feel like they always had crushes on each other but they started to have those feelings again when they were both single.

They kept things very low-key. They weren't super open about their relationship in the beginning but they would hang out after work/school, they would go on mini dates and just talk and gossip. They didn't really tell anyone until like 4-5 months after dating when things felt more serious.

Darry was kind of worried for Soda since he witnessed him become so heartbroken about Sandy and he didn't want him to go through that again but he witnessed Sodapop became even more happy with Cherry.

The rest of the gang was very suspicious of it. Cherry used to date the guy that one of their best friend's had killed after being jumped by said guy. It felt awkward since the class was still going on but Soda didn't totally care about their opinions.

At this point in her life, I think that Cherry would just be super done with caring what other people thought or the class war since it had gotten so bad that led to 3 deaths in less than 2 weeks. A few of her other friends didn't like it, but she didn't care. She was happy and felt like that was all that mattered.

Marcia was super happy for Cherry. I feel like she never really liked Bob that much at all she was happy that her best friend was happy.

I'm sorry that these were super short but send me anymore asks y'all have about The Outsiders

Headcanons about cherrycola pre canon? Like them knowing each other in school and stuff

UGH ILYSM THANK YOU FOR AAKING ABOUT THEM.

So I think they've gone to the same school since elementary school. I forget who I've talked to about this I feel like it's @girlishwhimsies (sorry for the @ pookie<3) BUT

Soda huge class clown and she was the soft spoken girl that everyone knew and liked. She would always pretend she didn't think his antics were funny but ine day she laughed and he made it his goal to see her smile like she had that day. He would write her letters and would leave it on her seat/in her locker and she would keep them in a small box underneath her bed. The letters stopped showing once they had reached middle school and the class divide was a bigger thing to them.

They never really interacted much as they got older and Cherry got with Bob so their somewhat friendship they had in elementary school was completely forgotten about. The box of letters now rest in her closet and she found them after Bobs death and she read through each one, softly crying as she remembered a time where things didn't seem so complicated. His letters were part of the reason she worked up the courage to go drop off Johnny's clothes at the curtis house.

Kinda off topic but the letters thing started in the Cherry's reaction post to the ponyboy dies au and I wrote a small little interaction between soda n her. ANWAYS ty for the ask I lovw yapping abt them.

Okay, for the Outsiders Halloween going on, debating between two idea (I may do both, but one will have precedent)

So! Vote/Poll time for The Outsiders Fandom:

CherryCola (Cherry/Sodapop) fic with a bit of getting together after getting trapped in a rainstorm in a semi haunted house.

OR

Cherry and Ponyboy chatting as friends while trapped in a rainstorm in a semi haunted house.

Bisexual Ponyboy is someone who has the most impeccable taste in girls (head over heels with Cherry the second he met her) and the most god awful taste in men. He had the most intensely toxic situationship with Mark known to mankind and was actually boyfriends with Curly.

His brothers want him to date girls not for any homophobic or biphobic reasons but because every guy he brings home looks like he found them in the trash

[your-unfriendlyghost]

can I interest y’all in some low-effort stevepop in these tryin times?

[frantic-babbling]

ATE

im gonna start calling cherry and bob cherrybomb for three reasons

theyre relationship was doomed to just be a highschool romance. as much as they loved and seemed to understand each other they were honestly too different in the ways that mattered

kinda continued with one tbh but; bob was always gonna fuck up. in every other universe, bob was always going to explode. (and its explode instead of implode because yes he does ruin himself but his actions have always impacted others around him as well)

its just cute and it reminds me of bubble pop electric

[brat-pack-it-up-boys]

Back at it with the cherrycola secretly dating AU

Ponyboy: I met this real cute girl named cherry at the drive at the other night, gosh I could talk to her forever

Soda:

[sondheim-girly]

Cherrycola canon???????

[moonynaturesethetic]

[introvert1rl]

Imagine Dallas Winston being scared of dogs.

Soda and Pony are scared of spiders

Steve is scared of pony being better than him

Johnny is scared of butterflies and geese (saw he was scared of geese on a hc, almost cackled)

Darry is scared of losing soda and pony

Cherry is scared of her dead ahh boyfriend haunting her 💪💀

Marcia and two-bit should marry, shoulda been end game.

[stew-skys-husband]

I'm officially starting my newest serie: Stew sets up a shop! The prologue: I'll make a website, buy some samples, make sketches. Me prepared for the first item to be up to be prints! These designs will 100% be up, btw

[wildestdreamcatcher]

i have heard you are another cherrycola truther (looking at you with my big sad wet eyes)

YESSS!! I went through this long, 2 year phase with them and I love them sm (they still hold a special place in my heart)

[walmartbrandwhatever]

Cherrycola is so important to me. Like someone please ask me about them I love them so dearly.

[queenxxraccoon]

Really big hot take: Cherry deserves slander because she caused Johnny and Dallas’s death. She knew that Bob would be angry with her being with the Greasers being around her in general, and yet she walks with them after the movies. If she hadn’t had walked with them, Bob wouldn’t have been angry, and then he wouldn’t have attacked Ponyboy and then it wouldn’t have forced Johnny to kill Bob, and then it wouldn’t have forced them to run away to the church and save the kids from the church that Johnny burned in, and if Johnny didn’t die Dallas wouldn’t have died. (Also saying Marcia is innocent either, she shouldn’t have walked with them either.) Also if you think about, if she didn’t walk with them, she would have saved her boyfriend. So yeah, Cherry deserves slander… I’m not defending Bob at all, he’s the worst one in this situation. But Cherry is not freaking innocent and I don’t understand all that much why she gets defended. She also literally treated Ponyboy like shit at the end too! Like be fr girl…

Also, I understand people won’t 100% agree with this. That’s fine, people should also have their opinion. But don’t be disrespectful to others if you disagree or agree with this. I tolerate Cherry hate but not hate towards one another lol. It’s called a hot take for a reason.

authors note - my first fic posted on any platform, don't judge me xoxo (jk, if I need to improve, give me some tips!! x) not edited cuz it's 4am..

❀❀❀

Both y/n and Johnny faced problems at home… these problems leaving them with a bond so odd that not even they could understand it

Johnny was emotionally and physically abused by his parents, and y/n had their unsaid problems just the same..

often, when nights got bad. The pair would spend the night in the lot together..

it was silent, other than the crackling of the firewood, and the subtle breeze picking up.

they sat close to each other, for body heat. Johnny sighed before speaking.. “I can’t take this anymore.”

y/n looks up at him, a slight look of curiosity in their eyes, "Is it getting worse..?" they ask.

“I-It’s like everything’s falling apart.” Johnny’s voice was shaky, and cracked in many places.

“M-My p-parents, t-they just..keep getting worse by the day.”

“It’s like..I’m n-nobody to them..” Johnny let out a deep sigh, and then took a long drag of his cigarette.

y/n shifts in their spot, turning their gaze back to the fire for a minute until looking back at him, "We've got each other at least.. That's what matters most right?"

“Y-You think?” Johnny smiled faintly at y/n. He exhaled a gust of smoke into the air, before leaning back on the wall. Johnny looked down at the ground, and took another long, deep drag from one of his cigarettes.

y/n didn't answer for a minute or two, just thinking of what to say next, "I like to think of us as Bonnie & Clyde, y'know..?" they pause, "all we've really got is each other, and that's all we need.."

“Bonnie and Clyde..?” Johnny repeated, then paused for a moment and thought of the criminal duo. He took yet another puff of his cigarette..

“I guess you’re right…all we really have is each other.”

Johnny shifted in place. The cool breeze seemed to be irritating him, causing him to shiver slightly. “Damn, it's really freezing out here.."

y/n gently rests their head on his shoulder, closing in their distance on one another.

Johnny could see his own breath, due to how cold it was outside… It didn't help that his clothes were thin and worn out. He appreciated the warmth of y/n's head on his shoulder.

Johnny sighed, and looked over at them..

“y/n…”

y/n murmured back, "Mmm..?" Their voice was soft and quiet.

Johnny went silent, and smiled softly at them. He was surprised by how comfortable this felt..he was actually able to relax, and be himself. His cigarette was down to the last few puffs..as Johnny watched it slowly burn.

“y/n…you know how much I appreciate you..right?”

"Y-Yeah..? I think so" they mumble back.

“You mean a lot to me.” Johnny continued, as he took a deep drag from the cigarette, exhaling thick plumes of smoke from his mouth.

“I feel like I got nobody, but you. It’s me and you against the world.” Johnny paused for a minute, and smiled softly.

“We have a bond…a connection that nobody else has. Nobody else understands..”

A small smirk appears on y/n's face, "just like Bonnie & Clyde, right..?" a small giggle leaving their lips.

“You know what?” Johnny chuckled quietly, and nodded his head. “Yeah…just like Bonnie and Clyde.”

His cigarette was burnt to a short stub, as Johnny tossed the little bit of the cigarette that was left to the ground.

“Now that.. makes me Clyde, right?” Johnny said, and looked at them with raised brows.

y/n murmurs under their breath, "mmhm.."

“So that means I get the ladies, right?” Johnny continued to joke around, and gave an innocent smile to y/n. They were both close in age, but Johnny certainly seemed older than y/n..in an emotional sense, at least..

"Mhm.. but Clyde chose Bonnie over anyone.." y/n speaks softly "..you'd do that for me too, right..?"

“Hey…” Johnny turned his head towards them more, and gently placed a hand on their cheek.

“I’d choose you over anything or anyone.” Johnny’s voice was quiet, but he seemed to mean every word.

“I wouldn’t trade you for the entire world..”

They both gave each other innocent smiles.

Johnny brushed a strand of messy hair away from their face, looking into their eyes with tender affection.

“I don’t know what I’d do without you..”

"Crash and burn..?" y/n quickly replies.

“Definitely crash and burn.” Johnny chuckled, a small smile spreading across his face.

“How about you though? How would you be without me..?”

y/n suddenly goes quiet, tension rising in the air as they seem a bit nervous to answer the question.

“y/n…” Johnny’s voice was tinged with concern, as he noticed the slight pause in their answer.

“Wouldn’t you crash and burn too..?”

"I've already crashed," their voice was hushed, "the burning is just slower than it should be.."

Johnny was silent for a moment, letting their words sink in. He took a slow, yet drawn out drag of his cigarette, his heart aching for them.

Johnny shifted, and rested his head against the wall, before looking back over at them.

“You alright?”

y/n subtly shakes their head.

“I wish I could make everything better for you..” Johnny sighed quietly, and took another drag of his cigarette.

Johnny’s eyes shifted to the darkness in the lot, as a chill shuddered through his body.

“It’s so damn cold….”

y/n's gaze was locked on the fire that was burning in front of them.

“y/n…” Johnny’s voice was quiet, and his demeanor changed to that of slight worry and concern as he noticed the silence from them. His brow was furrowed.

“Look over here for a sec..?” He softly asked.

y/n shakes their head again.

Johnny’s expression was concerned, almost frustrated. He reached over and gently tilted their head up towards him.

”What’s wrong..? Please..”

y/n's expression was weak as they held back tears of pain.

“Hey..” He brushed a tear that escaped their eye, and ran his fingertips alongside their face.

“Hey…c’mon..” Johnny was soft, and gentle with them.

“Don’t fight it…just let it out..”

They immediately begin to sob into Johnny's shoulder, never once having cried in front of him before.

Johnny immediately softened, his arms wrapping around them and holding them as close as he could. He had never seen y/n in such a vulnerable position before. They were so sweet and innocent…Johnny couldn't stand the thought of them hurting.

Johnny rubbed their back, as he spoke to them in a soothing tone.

"Shhh..it's okay..it's okay.."

Johnny had never even had a glimpse of them outside of their playful, flirty demeanor.. As he saw their walls fall down, he felt shocked.

Johnny had never realized how much pain they had been in, and the sight of their pain…made him hurt too.

Johnny gently squeezed them tight, and he sighed softly. His eyes were fixated on them, watching their tears fall..

Johnny wanted to protect them, and never let anybody else hurt them.

-------------------------------------------

It took y/n about another ten minutes to finally calm down, they kept their head on Johnny's shoulder and stayed quiet.

Johnny didn’t mind it at all when they kept their head on his shoulder, actually enjoying the intimacy of the moment. There were moments where he wished this moment would last, and they could just sit here forever. He enjoyed being someone that y/n could let their guard down around, and feel comfortable around.

“You alright..? You done crying..?” Johnny softly asked. His voice was gentle, as he kept his arms around y/n.

Johnny smiles as he sees them nod, ”Are you gonna go back to being playful now..? Or you still gonna be a sad, crying ol’ crybaby?” Johnny teased with a smug grin.

y/n smiled weakly, laughing briefly at his behavior.

Johnny let out a soft chuckle, and smiled at them Even through their pain, they remained the same beautiful, playful y/n he knew and loved.

“Okay okay..now that’s more like it…” Johnny brushed their back again, and then gently took their hand into his.

“You good now? You feeling alright?”

y/n lets out a soft sniffle, followed by a small nod.

Johnny smiled at them, and squeezed their hand a few times in reassurance.

“Alright, that’s good to hear.”

Johnny sat in silence for a few moments, looking at their hand holding hands. “They're so beautiful…” he thought to himself. He wanted to keep staring, but quickly looked away.

“So. What made you cry anyway?” Johnny asked, hoping to change the subject away from how vulnerable they had been for a moment.

y/n hesitantly speaks up, "Johnny.. If you weren't here, I don't reckon I would be either.."

Johnny immediately froze, his heart shattering in his chest.

Did they mean what he thought they meant..? Were they saying that he was the only thing preventing them from taking their own life?

Johnny quickly squeezed their hand, and looked at them, his voice full of concern.

“What are you saying..?”

"I don't think I need to explain," y/n says.

Johnny went silent, thinking over what they just said for a few moments.

“So you’re saying..” Johnny hesitantly spoke, trying to ask them. “That you would take your own life..?”

y/n softly speaks, "I'm not trying to be a burden or anything.." they pause, "but yeah.."

Johnny’s voice was a combination of panic and concern.

“y/n…” He gently squeezed their hand, and spoke to them again. “You’re not a burden. In fact…you’re the opposite…”

“You mean everything to me…my life would be ruined if something ever happened to you.” Johnny paused for a moment,

“Do you know how much I love you..?”

"Yeah.." y/n weakly smiles, "I love you too, Johnny.."

Johnny smiled at them, as he squeezed their hand a few times.

“And you know..?” Johnny paused for another moment. “I’d choose you over anything.”

"Just like Bonnie & Clyde, right..?" y/n mutters.

"Yeah.. exactly like Bonnie & Clyde" He replied.
