Rip sodapop you would’ve loved posting thirst traps

Rip Dallas you would’ve loved asking girls form Snapchat quick add “wyll”

Rip Johnny you would’ve loved AirPods so you could fake listen to people yap

Rip ponyboy you would’ve loved goodreads

Rip curly Shepard he would’ve loved saying Yolo

Rip cherry you would’ve loved tasters and pepper spray

Rip Marcia you would’ve loved beabadoobee and naming two bit “domino’s” in your contacts to hide y’all’s relationship

Rip Angela you would’ve loved searching up on TikTok spells to make him have a crush on me

Rip bob you would’ve loved dark humor and shutting off kids iPads

Rip Randy you would’ve loved peace protest and making a fake go fund me (the reason I put peace-protest is because of his change of heart after Bobby boy died)

[lunarfleur]

curly and that casual dominance-

him asking where you think you’re going whenever you stand up. people misconstruing that as him trying to control where you go, but really just he wants to know where you’re headed because he wants to tag along :)

curly’s totally one of those “without me?” guys, but not in the normal way…

“Curls? I’m going to take a shower.”

“Not without me you’re not.”

And he proceeds to sit on the toilet and talk to you while you shower.”

He’s emotionally attached, your honor.

heya hun, yeah i still do! you can find out what fandoms i write for in my navi! ^-^ tysm for requesting this, it was a cute idea and y'know i always love writing for the outsiders! i hope that you enjoy what i came up with and sorry it took me a million years to write! - mae

Carnival/Fair Dates With The Curtis Gang and Shepard Brothers Hc's:

Curly Shepard:

° In typical Curly fashion, he's getting up to no good, which doesn't change even when you're dating him. His number one priority is to show off to you in order to get a reaction – preferably a laugh. He's such a dork dfnsdjkfdsj! Sometimes you've just got to cringe during the storm instead, but it's okay, the rest of Tulsa is too lmaoo.

° He definitely cheated when the carny was temporarily distracted by some wise ass kid (another one his gang members), which resulted in him rigging the game in his favour to win you that plushie you so desperately wanted for ages now! Hey, you weren't too bothered – the man who ran the game was a damned cheapskate anyway. Sometimes it is better to fight fire with fire.

° Deadass wolfs down so much food with you that both of your stomachs hurt like utter hell for the next few hours. To say that y'all are immobile, lying in the back of Tim's car on the ride home with the window rolled down looking green is an understatement. However, it was all worth it for those mini corn dogs and donuts!!!

° You do blame each other for influencing the other until Tim goes, "I don't give a flyin' fuck who influenced who, just don't yack in my car, or else."

° Ngl he's a little prick because when you both sat on the top of the Ferris Wheel, he "violently" shook the stall you were in to freak you out just a little. He took the smack on his chest like a champ before pressing a sloppy kiss to your forehead. He steadied the stall.

° "I'm only screwin' with ya..." He grinned softly against your temple. He really was soft and made it up to you for scaring you so much.

° As payback you made him go on the massive roller coaster. He genuinely wasn't hyped for it, but he was acting like it wasn't a big deal at all. Holy crap was he relieved to be back on solid ground after it was over. Boii even kissed the dusty tarmac when he thought nobody was looking. Poor guy turned green, but he lowkey cussed you out under his breath bfddjdjfdsfdjd.

Dallas Winston:

° Is it much of a surprise that he's also not up to any good, as per usual? There are prominent ways for him to get into all sorts of trouble, and he does it openly as well. He's not afraid, but he's also making sure it's not so much of a hindrance so you can enjoy yourself too. Believe it or not, but he has these mindful moments. He likes to mess around and see where the chips lie – bonus points if you're up for causing a little bit of trouble with him!

° Expect to have the funnest time with his hand slid into your back pocket and amping up the flirting. Man, is he a showoff when he's up to have a go at all of the stalls. Some he wins and others he loses, but if he's cheating, he's sneaky about it. It kinda makes you laugh at this point ngl.

° "Whatcha laughin' at, chicken shit?" He grins at you as you clutch your freshly won teddy bear. "You! Hey, I thought I told you to stop callin' me that?!" You gripe back at him. "Call you what?" He teases you, pressing a kiss to your lips.

° Dallas genuinely took the water gun he had and sprayed you with it instead of the bulls eye. Man were you mad as hell at him, and rightly so! "I got good aim, sweet cheeks. For ten bucks, I'll let you squirt me." He winks. "I'm leaving..." Bc ew cringe Dally! "Awe, don't be like that, sugar!"

° His favourite pastime? Scaring the shit out of all the little kids for the hell of it. He's literally such an ass, but you love him anyway. That kid who tried stealing dough outta your purse had it coming for him anyway hdfhjjdhj.

° Dally's deffo tried to do things a bit legally just for your benefit – as mentioned above. Hey, he only cut the line ten times this trip! "You snooze, you lose, man!" (Insert the most obnoxious eye roll ever from you dfhsjfhfhfhfdhjn) "It's for cotton candy, babe!" Never mess with Dallas Winston and his damn cotton candy, lemme tell you that!

° Deadass punched a guy for saying something nasty about you. Lmaoo y'all got kicked out, but not before he snuck you both back in! It was warranted for Dallas to do the right thing. If you both get chucked out again, he'll just take you out into town. It's quieter that way and hey! You guys have a whole diner to yourselves. "Don't even think about it, Dal!"

Darry Curtis:

° Okay y'all, these are a rare occurrence, but boy does Darry take this opportunity when he gets a shot! Darry being off in the summer? Unheard of! But somehow fate has aligned in the stars and you've been blessed with an opportunity! It may be one day, but it's so much fun. It brings him back to his highschool days. He's beaming! It's just so wholesome, man.

° Darry played football in high school so you know his aim is literally no joke. Watch him bust every rigged game with flying colours, because he's smart. You're going home with a carnival haul! And you know what? None of the carny's can be mad at you, because when they see how much of a gentleman Darry is to you, and how your eyes glitter when you look up at him, their hearts melt! You guys are literally the cutest!

° He definitely tries to avoid going on all the rides, because and I quote, "That looks more rickety than the scaffolding I was on yesterday. Ain't no way in hell I'm goin' on that thing, and neither are you. We ain't even got medical insurance to cover it!" Y'know, old man stuff!

° But he does eventually go on it after all of your incessant begging. He's a grumpy old man as he boards onto it. The rides aren't his favourite, but he endures them – they're more Soda's shtick! He goes along with it because he loves you.

° But the food? He loves it! With all of his, "Let's be mindful about money," shtick, he kind of bends the rules a little bit and indulges some. He's more focused on getting more grub into you than into him though, because he likes to treat you though. He doesn't have a whole bank's worth of money to spend, but he makes it work. He's happy when you offer him half of what you have, despite trying to decline a thousand times. This is why he loves you.

° "I think you're really beautiful when you smile." You grin up at him as you rest your head on his shoulder.

° "I think you must've hit your head." He laughs, pressing a kiss to your forehead. (AAAAHHHH I CAN'T!! Y'ALL ARE SO CUTE!!!!)

Johnny Cade:

° Man, do his eyes light up like the sun at the prospect of going to the fair/carnival. Thanks so much for asking him to come along! There’s so much to do and explore, it’s a little overwhelming. He’s a little timid at first, but once he gets going on the different rides and games, Johnny is grinning like a chessy cat, from ear to ear.

° He isn’t the best at games, but hey, that’s okay because y’all laugh at the fact he completely missed the ring from the duck so badly that it looped around a Soc’s hand.

° “Man, I got the aim of a cat brawlin’ in the alleys!” He admits with a blush coating his tanned cheeks.

° His least favourite ride is the haunted house, because he spooks too easily. He can hide it, but when things pop out at him, it spikes up his anxiety. Poor baby! However, his favourite ride is the spinning tea cups. He’s relatively gentle, but do not make the mistake of going in one with him, Dally, Steve, Soda and Two-bit: You will be hanging on for dear life and barf. It’ll be all your fault for trusting them too lmaoo.

° Total bonus points if there is a rodeo at the same time. Johnny is crazy about them. He loves seeing all of the animals and action going on. He’s a little bit bouncy as he holds your hand. It’s very wholesome, and honestly, you’re probably bouncing with excitement beside him just as much.

° Johnny will treat you with cotton candy or something else you wanted to eat. It’s not much, but with all the gang giving him money here and there, he’s got more than he’s used to. So he doesn’t know what to do with it other than spend it on as much food as you can both stomach lmaoo.

° He’s a true gentleman and walks you home after all is said and done. He hangs about on your front porch, fidgeting a bit until he goes, “Thanks for spendin’ the day with me. It’s honestly been the best I’ve had in awhile…” and your response? A kiss on his lips before you wish him a safe walk home. To say he’s frozen on the spot for a solid ten minutes blushing like crazy is an understatement! Once he comes to, he’s grinning all big as he walks off of your porch. He’s so grateful to be dating you.

Ponyboy Curtis:

° Ya’ll can’t tell me that Ponyboy doesn’t watch the sunset with you on the top of the Ferris Wheel. It’s cliche, but I don’t give a crap. It’s cute and it happens. I’m willing to fight anyone on this! Just imagine his precious head leaning against your shoulder, both of you bathed in a spectacle of sunset colours. (I CAN’T IT’S TOO CUTE-)

° He’s a little shit™️ and goofs off with you because although he’s sweet, he’s not a saint. Expect lots of laughter together as you explore the entire place. You tend to bring Ponyboy out of his shell, and you know the gang catches you two trying to sneak into the circus tent to get into the show for free!

° Y’know what? You win him something at the bean bag stall. He’s a track star, but you’re the one with the better aim – even though his isn’t half bad. He’s a little abashed as he holds the duck plushie in his hand. He’s adamant when he gets home that it’s yours, that you just left it at his house. But it never moves and he gets teased for it.

° Ashfujdshjds he loses you 20 minutes in and pretty much has a panic attack but eventually finds you challenging Steve to an arm wrestling contest behind the bleachers.

° “I thought you got eaten by a lion! This whole time I’m panickin’ I lost you and you were there with dumbass Steve.”

° “Well someone’s both mouthy and has an overactive imagination! If it helps any, I totally kicked Steve’s ass!”

° He tripped way too many times to count, and each time you laughed. That is until you walked into a pole, which was flat out hilarious. You have a wounded ego, but Ponyboy’s is elated! “Man, that’s- I can’t believe you-,” He gasps between fits of laughter as he clutches his stomach. “Oh bite me, Curtis!”

Sodapop Curtis:

° You’re dating the poster child for hyperactivity. Maaaaaaan good fucking luck having a moment to sit still. Rip to your legs man! Steve basically has to drag you along like a soldier at war because you gave up on walking long ago. He begs Soda to let you sit for at least five minutes fgjgjfkdgjd.

° But in all seriousness, Sodapop is making sure to be considerate of you. He’s just sooo excited!!! There’s sm to see and do, and you bet your ass he’s doing back flips just to show off because mans is a spider monkey, lmaoo.

° Overall it’s such a cute and thoughtful day/night. Although there’s some stuff planned out, Sodapop is also winging things, because he’s a spontaneous king! So expect lots of flirting and some romance, because although he doesn’t have much, he’s giving you his world! Awwww so cheesy gjdfjffjd.

° If you love stuffed animals, then you’ll be buried in a mountain of them by the time you get home! If you don’t, too bad! At least you got free stuff. (Yes, Darry did end up getting mad at him for spending his wages on the carnival but yee yee I guess!)

° You guys go on all of the rides. Though he isn’t the type to push you to go on any ones you’re adamant not going on – like if you’re deadly afraid of heights. He either won’t go on and keeps you company on the ground, or he’ll come right back once the ride’s finished. He’s vvv supportive, softening out any of your anxieties or worries by making you laugh and feel loved <333 He’s proud if you do decide to face your fears though!

° At the end of the day when you guys are out of breath and a little tired, you’ll be sitting in the cab of Darry’s Ford pickup truck. There’s the sounds of crickets chirping and it’s cooled off some due to nighttime casting across Tulsa. You’re both sleepily smiling, Soda’s palm flat against your knee. It’s quiet as Elvis plays softly in the background: Sodapop knows when it’s time to let the chill vibes commence. “Thanks for takin’ me along.” You murmur all dopey up at him. He’s enamoured by your cuteness.

° “No worries, baby. Did you have fun?” He grins back at you. All you can do is muster a nod before slipping into a deep sleep. He laughs softly, “I ain’t carryin’ you inside your house.” But he does.

Steve Randle:

° You can’t handle the Randle sfudfhdujdhjd (I will never stop saying this, guys). But on a serious note, Steve loves going to fairs and carnivals, because similar to his best buddy, Sodapop, there’s so much to do! He’s spontaneous and likes to show off how strong he is, so expect him to show anyone up at the bell tower. He’s strong as hell and enjoys the little crowd developed around y’all. He seems to win most of the time!

° Steve is rather thoughtful and romantic. He thought out the entire date, and you’re probably on a double date with Sandy and Sodapop. It’s very cute, and Steve is always silently checking in with you when everyone else isn’t paying attention. “You good, doll?”

° At night time, when it gets cold, you bet your ass he gives you his jacket to wear. Even if it’s heading over into autumn, the last slivers of summer mourned: He doesn’t care. It’s the right thing to do and he’s so soft for you fdjfjd. He even drives you home and walks you to your porch. Man, he’s so crazy about you, and he doesn’t stop flirting until the very end.

° “You know, you’re kinda sweet?” You hum against his lips, the tips of your noses brushing together.

° He breathes a little chuckle, “Who said anythin’ about bein’ sweet?” Before diving in for that mind blowing kiss!

° Steve doesn’t really have much of a favourite ride: He’s up for anything – especially if it’s fast and takes a lot of sharp or sudden turns/drops. He likes the swing rides, grinning widely because he feels as free as a bird. Your exhilarated expression only makes him happier.

° Y’all are beat by the end of the day. It was such a fun time, though!!

Tim Shepard:

° Saddle up bucko, because this is one wild ride! Going to a carnival or the fair with Tim is a lot of fun – if you’re looking to cause a decent amount of trouble. He likes to goad you a little, to see how far he can push you and loves when you snap back at him a little sassy, “Alright tiger! Easy does it. Don’t wanna get ahead of ourselves.”

° Tim will have his arm draped over you in some fashion: Always has to have that contact. It’s how he flirts with you. He’s like a calm, cool and dangerous panther slinking through the fair – all eyes of the carny’s on him like hawks, “Sheesh! You’d think they’d know how to make things more welcoming. I an cut the tension with my switch.”

° It takes a bit of prodding, but eventually you convince him to ditch “looking cool” in favour of having fun. He’s relaxed, and he may even win some prizes at some of the games – as long as a carny doesn’t get wise with him. Tim doesn’t fare well with being told what to do. But he keeps himself cool, will get payback later when you’re not around to witness it lmaoo.

° Much like Curly, Tim will do something just to frighten you a little. It’s really so you come sit in his lap or hold onto him. There’s that wild look in his eyes, a mischievous simper donning his features, “Don’t even fuckin’ think about it!” You warn with a pointed finger.

° “S’that supposed to fend me off, tuts?” He says, backing you up slowly against a wall.

° A chase will ensue and Tim always wins. His prize? Throwing you over his shoulder and slapping you ass like a champ, lmaooo!

° Everything is spontaneous, but Tim tends to be more relaxed when you’re around. You wanna grab a bite to eat at The Dingo after? Sweet, let's do it! But you’re buying since it was your idea fjdjdfjkfjdjffdj.

Two-bit Matthews:

° Oh, pray to whatever God exists, because this will be eventful! Two-bit is a social butterfly, so not only is he chatting to you, but making others laugh in the process. He’s also extremely slick so he’s buttering up unsuspecting stall managers for good deals, but they know him by now. They aren’t fooled.

° Can’t go to the carnival or fair without Two-bit stealing something and plonking it right into your hands a ways away. “How did you-. Babe, take this back!”

° “Is that an order, officer? I say, if you handcuff me in the backseat of your car, I might just do what you say.” He grins all funny into your ear. “What am I gonna do with ya?” You inquire with a laugh. “Beats me. You’re the one with the stolen goods. I didn’t do zilch. Hey Officer!” He calls over the heads of the crowd, only for you to grab his hand and yank him down a small opening. “Shut the fuck up, Keith! That ain’t funny.” But Two is already rolling around on the ground laughing.

° He probably takes you into the House of Mirrors, and you guys just spend most of your time either hiding from and scaring each other, or doing that to other people. Two-bit loves the mirrors where you stand a certain way and it makes you super small and wide or tall and skinny. He pulls the dumbest faces in the glass. He's so easily amused (and so are you).

° Yes, he did walk into a mirror and almost knock himself out cold. Call in the cavalry, a.k.a. The gang: We got a man down! fuijdkfhjsdfbjdfdfkj

° You spent the next eight hours in the ER waiting to get his nose set because he broke it. “Talk about a knockout…” You mumble halfway through a yawn.

° “Aw shoot! This ain’t shit. Y'should’ve seen me in a dance off with Steve three years back. Now that guy can kick like a donkey!”

requests: closed!

[lunarfleur]

Dillo ik you can’t see it but words cannot express the grin that was on my face while reading this

I love seeing you talk about Curly

(Don’t be shy, talk more ab those hcs)

hii :) i hope you’re doing good! i saw that request are open so i want to ask for curly showing off his gf to everyone when he’s jealous or to make other ppl jealous 🫶

A/N: Oh this was fun Nonny, thanks so much for the request!

So! I believe we’ve talked a little bit about this before, especially over here in this set of headcanons about Ponyboy being interested in Curly’s S/O

But yeah, I just have fun talking about Curly so we’re gonna do this again and go a little more in-depth!

Serious relationships, I have a feeling, would be a big deal for Curly

I don’t see him as being the one to bring home a new person every week, I can barely see him bringing home a person to begin with-

I think he’s got a bit of a reputation? For messing around with who he’s going out with but never really wanting to settle down?

I have lots more emotions about that ^^ @mysemantics knows that and I’d be very happy to explain more of my personal headcanons for him later <3

But back on track, it’s rare for Curly to truly settle with someone so if you’re lucky enough to call him yours, and he’s calling you his, you’re already on a great track

Curly, when he’s happy and comfortable, will have no problem hanging all over you and begging you for attention, similar to a love-sick puppy

But when he’s around his boys, he may try to act a little tougher

He’s got a reputation to keep up, alright, babe? No one’s gonna be afraid of the Shepard outfit if they see Curly walking around, fingers linked with yours as you giggle over something

That being said, when the time comes, he’d do anything for you

No matter who’s around, if you’re in trouble or need something, talk to him

Curly would do anything he could for you, he’d move the mountains if you so much as say the word, I cannot stress how giving this boy is in relationships where he feels loved

Come up to him, overwhelmed at a party or tired at the drive-in, and ask to leave and Curly is immediately setting down his beer, saying goodbye to his boys so he can take care of you <3

He’ll give you his jacket, give you his clothes, ask to have one of your rings if you wear them, maybe one of your necklaces if you don’t do rings

He wants to be yours and much as you want to be his 

And I’m assuming this ask is sort of asking for more of the physical side of this too?

Not just all the sweet things that Curly does to show everyone you’re his?

So we’ll talk a little about those things too, fear not <3

If he’s a little buzzed, just a little laid-back and comfortable, Curly isn’t afraid to kiss you in front of everyone

I’m not talking like nice, little, chaste kisses, he’ll give you those everywhere

He’ll kiss you in the booths at the diners, when you wait in line for popcorn at the drive-in, or when you’re hanging out in the party crowd and he’s trying to convince you to fetch another beer for him

I’m talking about making out with you out the outskirts of the parties, tucked into your own little corner somewhere while he tests how far he can go, fingers dancing over the hem of your shirt <3

Also?

Possessive kisses.

Y'know those kisses when someone isn’t getting the hints you’re dropping about you being happily taken and uncomfortable in the situation and won’t stop bothering you

Curly has absolutely no qualms about coming up, looping an arm around your waist, and staring down whoever decided to mess with you

After, of course, giving you a really deep kiss, cupping your jaw in his hand to keep your face close to his

And then, I feel like it’s obvious, but hickeys?

Like, you’re gonna wanna seriously invest in some nice foundation if you go out with Curly

He likes kissing you, and sometimes kissing leads to hickeys and as long as he has your permission, he will cover your neck and shoulders in them <3

Also having his hand tucked into your back pocket, slipping its way down to hold onto your ass because you can’t look me in the eyes and tell me he wouldn’t

So yeah! That’s about all I got, hope this is what you were looking for Nonny!

Can We Kiss Forever? ~ Curly Shepard

Warnings:Mentions of family problems but none are clearly stated

A/N: Lee. My love. I love you. I sort of got an idea and just ran with it, though, I hope that’s okay!

This is x gender neutral reader!

Tim watched as Curly stood in front of the mirror, running his hands through his curls and shaking them back into place. He scrunched his hair with his hands, squeezing tightly. He had been standing there for a solid 20 minutes, always paying the upmost attention to his hair.

“Curly,” and Angela shouted from the living room, “Y/N’s on the phone!”

With a sudden brightening in his face, Curly ditched the mirror and all but sprinted into the living room. He loved talking to them. He loved hearing their voice. But why call when he was about to pick them up?

“Hi, baby,” he said into the phone. He fought back the lovesick smile they always gave him, at least until Angela stopped looking at him.

“Hi, Curls,” they said back. Curly frowned instantly.

Their voice, the voice he loves more than anything, sounded exhausted and tense. It was nasally and, well, sickening.

“Everything okay?” Curly asked hesitantly.

“Yeah, um…I’m sorry, babe, but I think I’m gonna have to cancel tonight.” Their voice faded as it came, sounding guilty and ashamed. Curly didn’t like it.

“That’s okay,” he sputtered, “but why?”

They sighed over the phone and paused. The silence, though only for a second, was tense and worrisome. The idea of them canceling was confusing, considering just the night before they were all but crying over how much they missed him.

“I just-I’ve had a long night. There’s so much going on, with my grandma and everything…I don’t think I can handle being out. I’m sorry.”

Curly sighed, “That’s okay, baby.”

“Maybe tomorrow?”

Curly’s lips curled up into a small grin as he leaned against the wall behind him.

“Hey, how ‘bout this? I’ll go up to that diner you like, get you some food, and then I’ll come over.”

He heard a faint, happy chuckle from the other side. His heart fluttered at the noise.

“I’d like that. Thank you.”

“Of course, baby. Give me no more than 30 minutes, I’ll be right there. I love you.”

“I love you,” Y/N said, beaming.

And he hung up the phone.

——————————————————————————

As soon as they heard the firm, heavy knock on the door, they happily speed-walked to the door. Unlocking it with a click, they were greeted by Curly’s grinning face.

But the sight of them, although clearly in a bit of a better mood, made Curly’s smile falter. They looked exhausted, both physically and mentally.

Y/N, sighing contently, wrapped their arms around Curly’s torso. His free hand came to the back of their head. His other hand, carrying the plastic bag filled with food, stayed down at his side.

“I missed you,” they mumbled against his shirt.

“I missed you, too, sweets,” Curly chuckled happily.

Curly looked down, confused, when they didn’t let go. Instead, they held on tighter. With trembling shoulders, they sniffled.

“Are you crying?” Curly asked softly. They shook their head against their shirt.

“No.” But they obviously were.

Curly set the bag of food on the floor next to his feet, bringing hands up to wipe their tears.

“What’s goin’ on, baby?”

“I missed you.” And it only made it worse.

“C’mon, stop cryin’. You don’t gotta miss me anymore.”

Taking a shaky, deep breath, Y/N backed up slightly.

“Your food’s gonna get cold. You need to eat.”

The pair walked hand-in-hand into the living room. Curly pulled out all their food, then leaned against the back of the couch. He watched them as they ate. Curly loved watching them, seeing them. It was the best part of any day he saw them.

Getting up, Curly turned on the TV and flipped through every channel he could find. Finally, he settled on the last half of Rebel Without A Cause and sat back down, this time noticeably closer to his lover.

After finishing their food, Y/N pushed it all onto the coffee table and leaned back, letting Curly snake an arm around their shoulders. As if all the weight was lifted from their shoulders, they curled into him.

“Tired, honey?” He asked. They nodded.

With a gentle hold on their arm, Curly guided them into his lap. Their legs wrapped around his waist, his arms wrapped around their shoulders. Their face snuggled into his neck, his face pressed against the top of their head. He placed he sweet kiss into their hair.

“I’m sorry,” he heard them mumble.

“What for?”

“Ruining our date.”

“Baby, there ain’t nothing wrong with how the night ended.”

“I know, but-”

“No buts.”

There was a pause and nothing but heartbeats and breathing could be heard.

“Curly?”

“Mhm?”

“Will you kiss me?”

Smiling, Curly’s arms unraveled. They looked up at him, eyes filled with the dull longing of sleep. He kissed them. Then he kissed them again. Then again. Then again.

Curly kissed them so sweetly, so full of love, that any and all worries they had seemed to float away. He kissed them so deeply that it made their head fuzzy. His kissed them for so long that the butterflies in their stomach reached to every bone in their body. They were filled with love for him.

“I love you, baby,” Curly whispered, pressing his forehead to their own.

“I love you, Curls.”

Y/N fell asleep not even 10 minutes later, slumped against his chest and listening to the melodies of his heart. He stroked their hair, not once getting up. The lamp in the living room never got turned off.

Anonymous said: Hi! What do you think the Outsiders(including Tim & Curly) ideal girl would be like personality-wise and/or looks-wise

(a/n: heya lovely! i’m just letting you know that i wasn’t comfortable writing about the ideal looks they went for as i’ve seen a lot of these types of imagines posted and most of them are blonde haired, blue eyed white girls. i really want to begin ensuring that my writing is inclusive to as many people as i can, and i also don’t think the boys would be too knit-picky on their partners looks. so, i’ve mainly focused on the “ideal” personalities instead, which btw are just my own opinions on how i view the characters, as well! - admin kat🌙❣)

DISCLAIMER: i would like to give an ENORMOUS shoutout to @the-outsiders-blogg for their help in creating this piece! they helped me come up with some initial ideas (which i used) for what each of the boys would find ideal in a partner personality wise, as well as editing this piece and helping me add some new parts in. this is especially the case for steve, whom i find the most challenging to write for! but now i feel like i have a better grip on his character. so thank you so much for all of your help hun! also you all need to follow them bc their imagines, gifs and memes are just the most spectacular! ❤

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* 　　 *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

The Gang + The Shepard Brothers Ideal Types Personality Wise Preferences:

Darry Curtis:

° I think that it’s a no brainer that Darry would date someone who’s got a more mature outlook on life and mindset in general. He doesn’t really have time or energy to invest into a relationship with someone who’s going to throw tantrums and storm out like a child. Darry has two kid brothers and a gang of friends who are pros at that, he needs someone who can keep their cool.

° He’s also going to be looking for someone who is much more grounding and soothing since he’s stressed 25/7 from raising two kid brothers, paying the bills on time and having his buddies crash at his house almost everyday.

° I believe as well that Darry would be looking for a more stable relationship, particularly one that’s long term. Darry doesn’t have the time to invest in something short term that doesn’t go anywhere. If he’s going to be with someone, he’s going to be very serious about it.

° He needs someone who’s good at communicating. Sometimes he holds in all of his emotions until they explode out messily. He needs someone who can communicate their points of views in an adult-like fashion. Also, by you speaking about your emotions it tends to open the door a crack to allow him to open up emotionally to you also, which is initially quite challenging for Darrel to do.

° Darry will need to be with someone who isn’t too sensitive. In his eyes there’s nothing wrong with sensitivity, it’s just that his words can come out rather brashly, especially when he’s high with emotion and often he’ll say things in the heat of the moment that he truly did not mean. So in other words, he needs to be with a partner that won’t take what he says to heart and will take things with a pinch of salt.

Sodapop Curtis:

° With all of the listening and diligent advice giving that this boy hands out, he’s going to need a significant other that can also do the same for him. I mean, the poor boy is only a human, he has troubles, insecurities, fears, worries, hopes and dreams just like the rest of us. He’ll also need them to be a bit patient with him because he’ll often feel guilty when he comes to you with his issues, it makes him feel weak. So all in all, he is looking for a partner in which he can develop a strong emotional connection to.

° Sodapop is definitely an adventurous and spontaneous young man and is eager to find a partner that is up to having fun with him, at least some of the time. This could be when you sit on his lap during a drag race, attending rodeos with him, going to parties and having a blast of a time by dancing the night away, the list goes on! As long as you’re up to doing some fun things with him, he’s down to be with you.

° Introversion, ambiversion or extroversion really doesn’t matter to Sodapop. He will love his partner to their very core, warts and all! As long as you’re a good person, Sodapop doesn’t really care. He’s understanding of everybody and will ensure that you’re comfortable no matter what when you’re dating him. 

° Obviously he’s going to want to be with someone who’s both trustworthy and honest, for obvious reasons regarding his ex Sandy. There’s also going to have to be some patience coming from your part. I mean, he’s over her now, but the insecurity of someone breaking his heart again like she did is a pretty intense fear of his. But that’s okay, because you naturally help soothe that insecurity of his: When you say you only have eyes for this dreamy guy, you mean it!

Ponyboy Curtis:

° Ponyboy would definitely lean towards being with someone that is more in touch with their femininity and their sensitive qualities. This is surely due to the fact that he too is quite sensitive. He wants to share sunrises and sunsets, along with his thoughts of movies and books with his partner, since he can’t exactly share that much with anyone else in the gang.

° Ponyboy also loves creativity and sports, so he’s going to look for someone with either a passion for creativity or sports, maybe even science. He enjoys practicing your sport with him and bouncing creative ideas off of you. You two would make the perfect study partners!

° He’s also going to look for someone who’s a good listener because he has a lot of intense thoughts swirling around in his noggin most of the time. He’d be super grateful for it and shyly thank you, returning the favor tenfold. Pony believes in making sure that what he receives he puts out back to you just as handsomely.

° Ponyboy is definitely an introvert and that’s awesome! I feel that he’d be down to be in a relationship with another introvert, but he’s also going to need someone that will bring him out of his shell a little. He’s going to be with someone that he feels he can trust and fully relax around, which is why he’s able to share his interests and thoughts with you so fluently. So, regardless, his emotional connection to you needs to be strong in order for him to speak more and open up.

Johnny Cade:

° Johnny has a whole host of issues mentally and emotionally, so it’s incredibly important that he is with a significant other that displays qualities of compassion, patience and support. Having someone he can go to is an important step in him allowing his walls to slowly break down. If he’s talking to you without having to be forced to, you know that he’s comfortable around you.

° Again, Johnny is going to need someone who is an excellent listener. It may take some time for him to open up to you, but when he does he’s honest. And you best believe that he’s incredibly grateful to have you. Just like Ponyboy and Sodapop, he’ll also listen to you. He believes that a relationship is a two way street as well.

° Johnny is pretty introverted and shy, there’s no doubt about that. I personally feel that he would be with someone who’s much more independent and enjoys making the decisions in general. It’s going to take some time for him to be comfortable enough to communicate what he wants and why. But your patience comes in handy and eventually he’ll tell you he wants to go see a new movie at the drive-in, etc. Yet initially he’s going to let you make most of the decisions.

° Like Ponyboy, he’s definitely ecstatic to be around another introvert, vibing off of each other would be amazing for him. Silences wouldn’t be awkward and things would just be over all chill. But, I still believe that Johnny needs a partner who can get him to relax in any situation and bring his feisty nature out a little more, since it’s definitely there and we’ve all seen it! The gang find it endearing that Johnny speaks more when you’re around, it makes them happy to see how joyful he is, because that beating from those Soc’s had really left him jumping at the sight of his own shadow. Poor baby!

Dallas Winston:

° Dallas Winston is going to be into someone who is more care-free. Being with someone that’s constantly anxious leaves him feeling on edge and he wants to feel on top of the world, all round relaxed. Especially when it comes to respecting his boundaries. The whole idea of someone attempting to change who he is makes it difficult for him to take them seriously as a partner. He’s Dallas Winston, he’s going to do what he wants!

° Like Sodapop, Dallas is looking to be with someone who likes to have fun and bend the rules. Dally is a rule breaker himself, often going out of his way to break the law. He’s not asking for his partner to start shoplifting or pulling crazy stunts like he does, but even minor things will get his adrenaline pumping. Although, he’s not opposed to dating a goody two shoes either!

° In Dally’s eyes, he doesn’t care whether you’re a tomboy, a girly girl or somewhere in between! He picked you because he loves your style and the person that you are, despite how mushy that sounds. He’s never going to admit it though. Maybe he’ll tease you endearingly about it, but that’s about it. There’s something about you that caught Dally’s eye and he knew he just had to have you all to himself.

° Dallas often prefers girls who are confident, headstrong and know what they want, even if they cuss him out in the process. Just take Sherri Valance for an example! She was having none of his crap and her feisty nature really sparked interest in him. So there has to be something personality-wise from you that he also feels he connects to. However, he also has no issue with being with someone who’s quieter and less confident, Dallas is going to make you feel like the luckiest and most breathtaking girl in the world when you’re with him. His louder nature will coax you to relax over time and you’ll start to blossom a little in confidence. He’s not looking to change you, just to get you to relax, because he finds you swell just the way that you are!

Steve Randle:

° In Steve’s books, he prefers individuals with a more masculine energy, regardless of whether they’re male or female. He’s not opposed to being with someone with a more feminine energy to them. It’s just that he really wants to be able to share his passion for both automobiles and sports with his partner. He’s kind of a dork like that.

° This teenage boy is most likely going to need someone who’s able to calm his highly intense energy down. He’s in a constant state of tension, itching to let out his emotions in often brutal ways such as fighting or drag racing. He’s hyperactive and finds it a challenge in itself to soothe that high energy he’s feeling most of the time. So someone who’s more grounding and calming is a sure way to help him unwind. Obviously, you’re not looking to change him because that’s not your job! It’s just that your aura tends to level out the high emotions that pulsate throughout his entire being at full throttle.

° Yet also, it’s very important for Steve to have a partner that he can also have fun with. Much like Soda, he enjoys participating in rodeos, drag races, attending parties, etc. Doing fun activities with his significant other helps them to bond with one another and creates particularly fond memories, this is also vital because it makes him want to be around his partner more. Family and home life is genuinely a drag for Steve, which is why he spends a lot of his time at the Curtis house. To have a partner that will also do spontaneous activities with him, it helps him move beyond his broken family life, and into a space where he can really flourish as a person.

° Once again, this young man will need someone who’s good at listening to him. He’s got a lot of daddy issues, considering he fights on nearly a daily basis with his father, getting kicked out too! This obviously creates a lot of anger inside him, which is why he’s so smart mouthed and quick to jump the gun and invest in a fist brawl, instead of talking things out with someone or letting it go. He feels that he needs to be tough in order for people to not only take him seriously, but also not to step on him. His father steps on him and his emotions too much which has erected a sturdy wall that he let’s few people through. It’s like his defense mechanism.

° This boy is going to love someone who smiles brightly at him. It’s cheesy I know, but there’s nothing better on this planet than his partner being happy. When you smile, all of his worries dissolve!

Two-bit Matthews:

° It’s a no brainer that Two-bit will flock to blondes. They’re his favorite! But what really makes him a sucker for someone is their ability to laugh right along with him. Yes, even at his crummy puns and terrible jokes! The sound of your laugh is genuine music to his ears, he’d do anything and everything to hear it a thousand times a day. The only time he enjoys you crying is when you’re crying of laughter.

° This boy is a bundle of the finest chaotic energy™ known to man, so he too will need someone more grounded to keep him down on the ground. Otherwise, he’d be on Mars by now! His partner would definitely teach him that it’s perfectly okay to feel other emotions that aren’t joy and excitement, and that it’s equally just as important to face those feelings.

° He strives to be with someone who is passionate about something. Anything really! He may not be the brainiest out of the bunch, but he’ll listen to you for hours on your passions. It makes him grin silly and honestly, he likes to at least attempt to learn some things about your interests. For him, a big passion of his is Mickey Mouse! He’ll talk to you about it for hours whilst he watches the television show with you.

° Two-bit also values honesty in relationships. Yes, he’s a grade A liar, but he feels crummy when he lies to his partner or is lied to by his partner. So he always does his utmost finest to ensure that he’s being as honest as possible. This is especially the case when a joke of his upsets you in any way, shape or form. If it goes too far then he wants to know. He can be a bit scatterbrained and may forget, but he wants you to be comfortable with and around him. He won’t settle for anything less.

Tim Shepard:

° Funnily enough, I believe that he would go for someone a lot softer than him since he likes the contrast. He’s all about that opposites attract trope, even sometimes his own gang have to bat their eyelids to make sure they weren’t imagining who they were seeing with their gang leader. They don’t necessarily have to be a goody-goody, just not as harsh as he is. It makes him hopeful in the world when he can bag someone kinder than him.

° Nevertheless, Tim wants to be with someone who has a mind of their own as well as having the capability to stand up for themselves. He loves protecting them, but he also wants to breathe easy when he’s not around you, comforted silently in the fact that you can handle your own. I mean, it’s a turn on for him when his partner can run their mouth, despite looking innocent. Like hands down, it’ll probably get him in the mood asap!

° Although Tim isn’t sold on expressing many emotions, he’s aware that they’re there, bubbling under the surface. So, Tim will definitely be with someone that he feels he is able to emotionally connect with. He doesn’t even have to vocalize this, it’s just something that he knows inside of his head and can feel when he’s around the person. It means that you’ve both got a strong connection together, which he’s not really got with many people in his life, considering how brutal his home-life really is.

° He also wants to be with someone who is trustworthy and honest. Tim doesn’t have the time to waste on two-timers. Usually when he settles into a relationship, it’s for the long term.

Curly Shepard:

° It’s canon that Curly Shepard isn’t the smartest kid out there in the world, so he probably seeks out someone who sees past that and can really get him as the person that genuinely cares deeply about him and wishes to get to know him. Because Curly is actually quite fun to be around, he’s always got some sort of idea to kill the time!

° In all honesty, Curly’s going to be most attracted to an individual that will be prepared to cause at least a little bit of trouble with him. You’re usually the one who ensures that you both don’t get caught. The whole experience is such a rush that you’re both grinning widely at each other afterwards.

° He’s most likely going to go for someone more extroverted or at least someone who is an ambivert as Curly would have a challenging time when it comes down to understanding someone who’s more introverted and shy. It’s not to say he wouldn’t like them, he just will assume that they’re quiet and withdrawn because they don’t like him, even if they do. But he definitely doesn’t think that there’s anything wrong with introverts! I mean, Ponyboy Curtis is one of his good buddies, after all.

° Curly is quite spontaneous himself, enjoying it when he switches things up. He becomes bored with little effort, so he needs to keep himself busy, and what better way to do that when he can cause all sorts of trouble! You low-key do have to remind him that climbing a telephone pole again would result in another broken arm, but he does it anyway!

starry eyed - curly shepard [1]

hello you lot! i’ve decided to start a curly fanfic because i would die for him. let me know if you enjoy or if i should just stick with imagines! thanks for all the love!!!!! <<3

DARREL

the words that come to mind when i hear the name dallas winston are not the most pleasant; rude, impolite and defiant are a few on the top of my head. he’s one of my best friends and i’d give him the shirt off of my back, but that doesn’t change the fact that he has a reputation for a reason. he’s had a tough upbringing— coming from a broken home and all, so it’s not entirely his fault. he was never taught manners, or empathy or even how to care for someone other than himself so it’s not a surprise that my parents were the closest thing he had to role models. we were taught when we were just young that he’s not heartless, he just doesn’t know how to show love like the rest of us.

his sister, however, is the complete opposite of his description. most people in this town have had an experience with dallas that’s left them cursing the winston family name for the rest of eternity but i’d be lying if i said the same about sally-ann. i don’t even know if i’d go as far as to associate her with the family name she was 'raised' under. it’s baffling to all of us that she didn’t turn out the same way dally did, because she's never had anyone else to look up to. it’s evident to all of us that he did raise her, though, because you can see a little bit of him in everything she does. the way she walks with such confidence, or how she clicks her tongue after she makes a joke.

for what it’s worth, dallas did a damn good job at raising his younger sister. no teenager is ever ready to take on the responsibility of looking after a child, especially when you’re barely capable of taking care of yourself. she’s real smart. she’d never initiate a fight, but knows how to defend herself if one were to ensue. she’s got this charm on her that couldn’t have come from anyone other than her brother and the girl knows how to use it to her advantage. he’s basically prepared her for worst-case-scenario and i can respect that.

the day that dallas decided to introduce her to the gang, we knew that we’d all love her like one of our own, and we do. her brother is real protective over her, and it seems the only time he lets his guard down is when she’s here; surrounded by all of us. we all pitch in whenever we can, because we know that they’ve got it rough. they jump from house to house faster than a flee and it makes me grateful to have a permanent place to stay, even if i work my ass off for it. "time for dinner, boys!" i call out to my two younger brothers, my voice echoing through the house.

"hope y’all got room for one more," i hear a very recognizable voice from the foyer. considering there’s only one girl who ever hangs around with us, it’s not hard to distinguish who it might be. i turn away from the stove, looking at the girl that has her orange hair pulled into a tight ponytail today.

"always, kiddo. dig in," i invite her to the table. although dally’s done a good job at making sure his kid sister turns out alright, he’s not the best for telling people where he’s at. he’ll disappear for weeks at a time, which leaves his sister to fend for herself most days. that’s why our door is always open. there’s probably been countless times that she’s snuck in during the middle of the night, slept on our couch and disappeared before we could even find out about it.

she pulls a chair out, plopping herself down in front of the lasagna that’s fresh out of the oven. ponyboy and sodapop come hurling down the stairs, taking their assigned seats at the dining room table. "hey, sally-ann. fancy meetin’ you here," my youngest brother, ponyboy curtis, smiles at her from across the room. they’ve always gotten along real well, and most of us suspect there’s something a little more than friendship going on there— including me.

"yeah, yeah, pony. hey, soda, be a doll and fetch me the ketchup, please?" she bats her long, blonde eyelashes at the middle child of the curtis family. soda casually grabs the tomato paste from his end of the table and slides it down to the girl on the other end. the fact that she even knows what manners are kind of surprises me, i’d probably forget about them entirely after only three consecutive hours with dallas.

i hear footsteps jogging up the front door steps, so i watch to see who it might be. it’s always a surprise as to who’s going to walk through that door because their old man threw them out, or because they got into a fight with a soc and can’t go home looking like they do. instead of a desperate teen, a dark-haired, dark-eyed stud struts through our ripped screen door. cigarette in hand, he chuckles at our gathering at the table for dinner. i’ve consistently told the boys not to smoke in the house, but the message clearly hasn’t worn off yet.

sally-ann leaps up from her seat at the dining room table and sprints into her brother’s arms that are opened, waiting his sister’s arrival. "hey, dal!" her smile grows beyond belief, a happiness radiating over each and every one of us. it’s clear to me that he’s been gone for a while if this is how she’s reacting to his return.

they hug in our foyer, a kiss being planted on the top of her head by her older brother. "how you been, pumpkin? not overstaying your welcome, are you?" he raises a sole eyebrow, looking back at all three of us to make sure that she’s been respectful of our privacy. i shake my head to his question— even if she was, i’d never say that to dallas because he’d probably make sure she never came back here.

"i only just got here, dal," she tells him, skipping back to the table to finish up her meal. i’m glad, too, because heaven knows how long it’s been since she’s ate. "where’d you disappear to this time, bub?" her curious tone almost makes me cringe. how is she never bothered by his absence?

"eh, ain’t important." he shrugs her off. we all know exactly where he went, and it seems the only one who doesn’t is the one asking. he probably got arrested for battery, or assault or something of that nature. i know he tries, but setting good examples isn’t exactly his forte.  "anyway, i’m goin’ home to catch some z’s. call me if you’re staying somewhere, otherwise be home by ten. you got school tomorrow, little lady." he winks.

he spins on his heels and he’s gone just as fast as he got here. i guess that’s the scariest thing about dallas; he’s real good at leaving.

You can't keep doing this | Curly Shepard

You were almost positive that no one could've guessed that Curly was needy. He looked to be your average confident and snarky teenage hoodlum. He was a Shepard and he was tough but he wasn't Tim and he never would be. It wasn't hard to get him to open up, a few weeks of sweet talking and giving him the reassurance that you'd be there, he was sort of an open book. He yearned for approval and that was something he never got from his parents. To get it from you was a gift. If you didn't know him he'd look indifferent, but to you, he looked like a six year old kid opening the present he had been begging for.

"Y'know, you can keep doing this!" You hiss out as he grabs your hand, dragging you out of Tims stolen car.

"He ain't gonna notice he's too busy."

You frown at how unconcerned he was. "This is why he doesn't move you up in ranks." you point out which makes him blow out a frustrated breath.

"Hey, now." He stops once he reaches a closed gate. "Just be in the moment. Don't think about nothing else. It's worth it."

"Alright alright." You nod. "You sure we'll be back 'fore sun up?"

He shrugs and moves to the gate, jumping over it and looking at you from the other side. "Thats something I can't guarentee, doll. But we came too far to go back now anyway."

You let out a slight laugh and jump over the gate, your shoes sinking in the mud slightly. It must have rained a few hours before. You could feel the light breeze swaying around.

He walks forward towards large rocks and sits on one, grabbing a stick to wipe the mud off his shoes. You make way to sit on the same rock beside him, then noticing you were sitting above a small lake.

"Holy shit.." You mutter as you look over to watch the light reflect off the water.

He chuckles some and leans back on his elbows, whistling off tune to some random rock and roll commercial he heard. "I used to come here a lot."

"Yeah?"

"Yeah."

"You ever swam down there?"

He bunches his face before shaking his head. "Hell no. I don't like swimming all that much. I just think the view digs okay."

"You're right about that." You yawn which is interrupted from Curly poking your cheek.

"Asshole." you hiss which makes him chuckle.

He sits back up and leans his elbows on his knees, his dark blue eyes peering over the edge to catch sight of the water. "You know when you said you wanted to travel? I started thinking about it and it sounds kinda.. Groovy?"

"Like you'd ever leave the Shepard Gang."

"Maybe.. The thought of it sounds scary but.. It seems like we could see much stuff."

You smile at the sound of 'we'. Curly never talked much about the future but it was refreshing to know he thought of you in it.

"Its seems like just living in the moment would be worth leaving everything." he sighs.

His eyes are staring ahead and it looks like he's got so many things going through his head. You know how he feels.

"Well maybe we could. But you'd still better get me home before the sun comes up or we won't be going anywhere but the local church." you laugh.
