#i honestly don’t think i’d like dallas winston as a person

[sodapopboy]

no because literally?

Dallas winston fans need to learn how to be happy because why is every single fanfic/blurb request like “you just got jumped by the socs and as you’re bleeding out you come to buck’s to visit your boyfriend dally only to walk in on him cheating on you with 3 different girls, when you confront him he laughs in your face”

and then it’s like “here’s your request, hope you enjoy!!!”😭😭😭😭😭

[2knightt]

Hiiii! Can you do the outsiders gang with an s/o who models I feel like that would be interesting :)

↳but i’m into it, i’m into it.₊˚✧

➬ the gang x model!fem!reader

a/n;i love famous reader so much omfg. also, i love using chase atlantic lyrics for my titles. dont chase men, chase atlantic everyone.

Johnny Cade ;

believes that you are the most BEAUTIFUL person to walk the planet.

STRONGLY BELIEVES THAT.

probably thinks you’re too good for him.

PLEASE TELL HIM HE’S ENOUGH FOR YOU.

take him too your shoots and he will be blushing the whole time.

if you wear something that’s flattering to your body shape, he will explode right then and there.

“how do i look? should i fix my hair?”

“you look perfect.”

“you think?”

“…mhm.”

the gang seen you on a magazine cover and started freaking the fuck out.

“HOLY SHIT JOHNNY ISN���T THAT YOUR GIRLFRIEND?”

“WOAHHH!”

“jesus…does she have a sister?”

“guys please stop.”

cuts out your magazine covers/photo shoot pictures and keeps them in his jean jacket pocket.

not in a weird way, just in a way that when he’s sad and you aren’t around he can remind himself on how lucky he can really be.

Dallas Winston ;

oh my god he never shuts up about how he got the hottest model ever.

“yeah she’s pretty n all but, my girlfriends a model so.”

“that’s so cool that your chick is…like that! but mines a model, so, she’s just better.”

buys steals all your magazines/any photo shoot you do.

any guy thats talks about you in way dallas doesn’t like, gets knocked out.

“i’d hit that.”

“yeah?”

“yea—”

dead./j

no but he would pull all his strength in that punch.

the gang thought he kidnapped you because no way in hell a pretty girl like you would go after dallas winston.

“y/n, blink twice if you’re kidnapped.”

“raise your hand if you need help, dude.”

“guys, what the fuck is wrong with you?”

you’re legit, all he thinks about.

he’s so whipped for a model girlfriend, if you asked him to jump he’d ask how high.

genuinely believes you’re an angel, will NOT tell you that to your face though.

Ponyboy Curtis ;

he gets so nervous around you omfg.

his palms be sweating n shit, stuttering and everything.

“he-hey y/n.”

“oh, hey pony!”

uses his favourite photo shoot of yours as a book mark. i can feel it in me bones.

he giggles and kicks his feet when he looks at that bookmark btw

draws you?? i feel like that’s his favourite pass time.

IF HE HAS TO DESCRIBE A STORY IN ENGLISH HE WRITES ABOUT HOW HE MET YOU OMFG AND THE WAY HE’D DESCRIBE YOU IN THE ESSAY??/?!:;&

he’d be so sweet with his words when he talks about you. i cant i love him so much

the gang is lowkey jealous that the youngest one out of all of them pulled a model.

“hey, don’t you model?”

“yeah!”

“what.”

“how did ponyboy get a date with you?”

“…are you guys serious? am i that ugly to you guys?”

Sodapop Curtis ;

POWER COUPLE OH MY GOD I CAN’T.

you guys walking in the street together probably makes people pass out.

literally nobody was shocked that you guys started dating.

the prettiest girl for the prettiest boy, it was bound to happen, c’mon.

he probably got into modeling because of you.

OH MY GOD IMAGINE DOING A PHOTO SHOOT WITH HIM???

he asks for his favourite picture of you two from that shoot to be printed out larger for him so he can hang it in his room.

like dallas, he will punch a guy for you.

“she’s hot.”

“she has a boyfriend.”

“so?”

call 911 cause that guys gonna need it in a minute!

showed steve a picture of you before he introduced you to the gang.

“oh my god soda. why are you dating a literal model?”

“why not?”

“but what else did i expect, you get girls daily.”

Darry Curtis ;

honestly, he couldn’t care less about what you do for work.

if it brings in money, it brings in money.

but the gang sure as hell does!

“YO ISN’T THAT Y/N L/N?!”

“THE MODEL?”

“yeah? how do you guys know her?”

“HOW DO YOU KNOW HER?”

“she’s my girlfriend, soda. that’s why i brought her here.”

“WHAT??”

i’d be lying if i said darry didn’t carry around a head shot of you in his wallet.

he doesn’t brag, but when the chance to talk about you comes, he takes the chance.

“good for her. huh? oh—my girlfriend models. pretty popular.”

when he sees a magazine with you in it for sale, darry snatches it so fast.

compliments you after he seen it.

“i like your most recent shoot, the makeup suits you.”

“you think, darry?”

Steve Randle ;

rocked the whole world when you guys started dating.

DOESN’T SHUT THE FUCK UP ABOUT YOU.

“that’s so tuff soda, but y/n actually said—”

“nobody cares steve.”

“shut up and let me tell you what MY GIRLFRIEND said.”

STEVE HAS A PICTURE OF YOU TAPPED ON THE INSIDE OF THE TOP OF HIS TOOL BOX.

takes you on dates 24/7 just to show you off.

sometimes he lets go of your hand to see if anyone would flirt with you so he can punch them.

gang thought he held you hostage when you started dating ngl.

“you can do so much better, y/n.”

“dallas, shut the fuck up.”

“i’m just sayin’.”

“i will knock you out.”

Two-bit Matthews ;

HE’S SO WHIPPED FOR YOU IT’S DISGUSTING.

you have him giggling n shit.

his room is filled to the brim with photos of you.

not in a weird way, he just thinks you’re drop dead gorgeous.

tells you cheesy pickup lines, all the time.

“are you from Tennessee? cause you’re the only TEN I SEE! get it?”

would start a fan club for you if you asked nice enough.

introducing you to the gang was earth shattering for them.

“how??”

“what do you mean, ‘how?’”

“how did you pull her?”

“I PULLED HER WITH MY GOOD LOOKS AND CHARM, STEVE.”

“you’re so funny, two-bit.”

“like you falling flat on your fucking face yesterday?”

“YOU SAID YOU WOULDN’T TALK ABOUT THAT.”

[rumble-aint-a-rumble-without-me]

Henlo :) okay so um hcs for the gang with a reader who comes from a family thats rlly rocky, so they dont rlly experience love so when they get it its confusing for them? Like experiencing cuddles for the first time?

A/N: Thanks for requesting this! I’m super sorry for the delay, things got kind of hectic around here- hope you enjoy these!

DARRY CURTIS

Honestly? The Curtis brothers are probably the only ones here that have experience with familial affections and just affections in general?

Darry’s grown up with two parents who love him and is pretty used to the affections that come from that

When he meets you? Who doesn’t have that? Who’s never had that with their parents?

He takes it slow, he’s careful in how he holds you, not wanting to make you uncomfortable and he tells you that he loves you

Gives you all the compliments, asks you about your day and how you feel about different things, he really just does anything he can so that you know that he cares about you

Not exactly the best with his words like Ponyboy is but he knows that it’s important for you to hear that someone cares and appreciates you

SODAPOP CURTIS

Sodapop is very perceptive and already sort of knows what’s wrong when you sort of tense up when he tries to hug you or throw his arm around your shoulders 

He’s a very tactile person, he likes to be touching you, so if you’re not used to being touched or don’t exactly like being touched, I’d talk to him about

Sodapop won’t care, he doesn’t mind either way and would be happy to work towards a happy medium for the both of you

If you’re not used to being hugged and stuff? Sodapop kind of dials in his affections, being a little gentler with you

Hugs, cuddles, holding hands, he’s always going to give you the option to pull away from him

He doesn’t want to overwhelm you, he really just wants to show you that he loves you and if being held all the time doesn’t make you feel loved, that’s no problem, the two of you can work something else out!     

PONYBOY CURTIS

Ponyboy isn’t a very touchy person? At least my version of Ponyboy isn’t, so tensing up during cuddles and stuff doesn’t really register with him at first until you say something

Pony’s big thing is words if you couldn’t tell- I mean, kiddo literally wrote a whole book and gave it to a professor

So hearing you kind of talk down about yourself? Leftover habits from being told that your opinions don’t matter? That kind of sets him off

Expect tons of compliments and gentle reassurances from Ponyboy, all sweet and genuine remarks

He loves you, he loves hearing your thoughts and your parents were crazy for telling you that you didn’t matter

You do matter, and Ponyboy’s gonna make sure you know that <3

DALLAS WINSTON

My version of Dallas had a rough homelife back when he was in New York, his dad was a deadbeat, mom died when he was younger-

So for you to come from a rocky home and not be used to affection and kind words? You and Dal are kinda the same

He doesn’t entirely know how to show you that love he has for you?

Like it’s not second nature to just take your hand or kiss you before he leaves, y’know what I mean?

So like, if you guys were a seesaw of uncertainty about affection, I don’t know if seesaws are just an American thing but I hope not cause you guys would seriously be missing out, the seesaw would be perfectly balanced in the middle, completely flat

Over time though, the two of you get a bit better, relaxing into each other and showing each other a little more love! It just took you a little bit of time 

JOHNNY CADE

Yeahhhhh so Johnny has a pretty rough homelife too so I have a feeling the two of you are in the same boat here

The whole not knowing how important you are, uncomfortable during physical affections, yadda yadda yadda, you guys know what I’m talking about

I think the relationship you have going with each other is good though! It’s good for both of you!  

Johnny gives those vibes that he’d definitely be the hype man for everyone else while putting himself down

So he’d shower you in all the compliments, in all the pretty words and everything you could ever ask for, paired with a few gentle kisses pressed to your cheeks

Every aspect of this relationship would be so calm and laid-back, you’d be so good for each other because you’d finally be able to show each other what real love should be <3  

TWO-BIT MATHEWS

Okay so I take back what I said about the Curtis bros, Two-Bit’s mom definitely loved him like a mother should and I can’t believe I overlooked that- 

She works two jobs for her kids and I can’t believe that I forgot how hard she works for them

He’s also very touchy? Like Sodapop, he likes to be touching you so he’s kind of taken aback when he realizes how confused you are by it

He’s like ??? and pulls away very slowly, looking at you and trying to figure out what’s going on in your head

And I swear, if you say one thing bad about yourself, no matter what it is, Two-Bit is immediately correcting you, telling you you’re perfect and that he cares in his own Two-Bit way

“Whaddaya mean you don’t care? I wanna know what you wanna do, doll. Where do you wanna go to dinner?”

STEVE RANDLE

Steve, another very touchy boy, does his best to slowly ease into physical affections with you

He’s not trying to make you uncomfortable or overwhelmed, he just really wants to hold your hand when you’re walking around the drive-in together

I suggest having a conversation with him about your less than satisfying homelife? Steve’s got his own shitty household, and I think he’d be pretty understanding 

He gets a little sad when you talk about how you think you don’t matter? It hurts him to think that you don’t think you’re important

Steve looks at you like you’re his whole world, he just can’t believe that someone could tell you that you’re not good enough

Gentle reminders that you’re enough, you’re more than enough and that he loves you are given in the form of extra dates, extra compliments and extra loving!  

TIM SHEPARD

The reason Tim is so forward with his affections and compliments is because he stops being able to function the second those nice things turn back on him-

So yeah! Both of you don’t really know what to do with gentle affection because you both had rocky homelives

But! You’re working on it, both of you, you’re slowly relaxing into each other, slowly realizing that this is what love really is and this is how it’s shown

And as for your self-worth? Tim makes sure you really know he cares about your opinions

He’ll ask what you’re doing, what you want to do and what you don’t want to do, what you like about this and what you don’t like about that

It’s not overly obvious? But his questions are definitely him trying to see what you want and trying to do whatever you want so you can the chance to be heard 

CURLY SHEPARD

Curly Shepard had a messed up childhood no matter what sort of background you headcanon him to have so I think he’d understand where you’re coming from

Hesitancy to be wrapped in a hug or to have someone hold onto your hand?

Confusion when you’re given compliments or trusted to make decisions for something?

Curly understands what you’re going through, he’s got the same thing going on himself sweetheart <3

Together though, I think the two of you would be really really good, you’d do a lot of good things for each other and sort of build each other back up

By the way, it’s hard to not feel special when you’re with Curly because he’s always calling you by little nicknames and giving you what he’s got, saying sweet things and all that good stuff <3

obsessed

˚୨୧⋆｡˚ ⋆ in which sodapop is in love with dally’s ex

( a/n : this is SO mid & a bit out of character but i hope you enjoy nonetheless! kind of inspired by olivia rodrigo’s song “obsessed” but i took some creative liberty and switched the plot a bit )

3 weeks after his breakup with sandy. it only took 3 weeks to find someone else to obsess over — and it was you, dallas winston’s ex.

if dallas knew how much sodapop looked at your picture, he would be dead in a ditch. but he couldn’t help it! you were perfect, you were kind, you had those lips that just hypnotized anyone who glanced at them, you were well-read, and you were made for him.

it was mid-summer when he saw you again. the last time he saw you was when you were at the drive-in with your former lovers, dallas and sandy. but this time was obviously different. you walked into the DX while he was working. instantly captivated, he watched as you smiled amd waved to him, before grabbing a diet coke and going over to him to pay.

“hi, soda,” you smile. “long time no see, huh?”

“yeah, guess so,” he nods and scans your drink. “diet coke, huh? that’s my favourite.” it’s a desperate attempt to bond with you.

“really? that’s cool. i don’t know a lot of people who like the diet version, lots of people think it tastes like water but they just don’t get it like us.”

‘like us.’ holy fuck. he is down bad. “you’re not lying,” he laughs. “so, um, what have you been up to since you and dal broke up?”

you shrug. “hm, not much. it’s been boring, honestly. i miss hanging out with the gang.”

“we miss you.” he agrees. “it was fun having you around.”

“thank you,” you say. “how’ve things been going since sandy… you know, left.” you assumed it was a sensitive subject, but was soon proved wrong.

“i thought i’d be worse than i am. i’ve been too busy with other stuff on my mind to even care, i guess.”

“yeah? watcha been thinking about, then?” you ask, tilting your head.

he knew it was wrong. he knew that dallas would be livid, he knew that every girl who liked him would turn against you, but he’s beyond it. he’s got issues, he can’t help it.

“you.”

“..what do you mean?”

“you’re all that’s on my mind, y/n.” he can finally form a complete sentence. “and it’s fuckin’ killing me.”

“soda..” you sigh. “dallas would be—“

“who cares what dal would say? he’s your ex, he doesn’t even care about you anymore. and darrel doesn’t like him anyway, he wouldn’t be a loss.”

“he’s gonna beat your face in.”

“it’s worth it.” he insists.

“you’re crazy, you know that?”

he laughs. he knows he is, after this. no sane person would go after his buddies ex. you would have to be a monster. but he is a greaser. “come to the drive-in next friday, i’m going with a bunch of my friends.”

you hesitate. “..fine, i’ll come.” you do a horrible job at hiding the smile on your face.

he smiles. “see you there, y/n”

you nod, and take your diet coke and walk away. he didn’t even make you pay. he can’t wait for friday night. those dreadful 3 weeks seemed like nothing now that he had you.

[sometimes-i-write-good]

F & G please!! 💜

F: Share a snippet from one of your favorite dialogue scenes you’ve written and explain why you’re proud of it.

This is a snippet from my Outsides Johnny x Dally oneshot posted to Ao3: "Only A Four."

Johnny wrinkled his nose. “How much did you have to drink?”

A smile so pure and excited spread across Dally’s face that Johnny’s knees went weak. If he wasn’t already being propped up in his one of his closest friends- what a label they’d settled on- he would’ve melted straight to the ground. “Concerned about me JohnnyCakes?”

“Ain’t I usually?”

“Buck and I split a case. I slept most of it off.”

Johnny let out low whistle. “No wonder you smell like the bottom of a bar.”

“And here I was thinking I’d invite you next time.” His face was dangerously close to Johnny’s again. Noses just a hair apart. Breeze barely able to pass through the space between them. “Not interested in spending a night drinking with me JohnnyCakes?”

He brought his hand up to grab the hand trapping his chin. “Are you satisfied?” He asked. The only mark on his face was the remnants of a week old bruise just below his right cheekbone. “He hasn’t got his hands on me in a week.”

A little white lie never hurt anyone. “I don’t like you lyin’ to me, man.” Except for Dallas Winston apparently. “Your lip’s bleeding.”

“That’s my own fault. I bit it to keep my teeth from chattering.”

Dally swiped a thumb over his bottom lip, wiping away blood, and brushed his own lip over Johnny’s mouth. A ghost of a kiss. A boundary not even drunk Dally could bring himself to cross.

“What’s the number?”

“Four.”

Dally pulled back slightly to let his gaze bounce around Johnny’s face one last time. “If he hasn’t been hitting on you, why so high?”

“I let myself think it would last.”

Johnny took Dally’s hand, brought his fingers to his lips, and pressed a small kiss onto the pads of each one. Then, like always, Dally pressed his fingertips against his own lips. A kiss for two people too damaged to let themselves truly be happy.

“I have to finish high school, Dal.”

“Not in that house, man.”

“If I leave, he starts hitting on my Ma.”

Dally winced. The soft “JohnnyCakes” escaped him again. Too caring, too gentle. Johnny pushed passed him and started walking again, but without there was no pressing body heat to keep the cold November air at bay. The shivers caught up, more violent than before.

Personally, I love this one because dialogue has always been the hardest part of writing for me. I struggle with attributing and making it sound natural. Here, though, I think I really managed to capture their dynamic in a realistic way. Dally and Johnny sound true to the original source material while also meshing well into this little divergence I wrote. Throughout the whole thing I feel like I've done a really good job balancing descriptions with dialogue. It's a peak I haven't been able to replicate honestly.

G: Do you write your story from start to finish, or do you write the scenes out of order?

Yes, to both. Honestly, a lot of my ideas come from a description snippet or dialogue snippet lodged in my mind. Very rarely will I write a story from the very beginning because I struggle with bigger concepts. I typically start with writing the scenes I envision the best (ones I have snippets for, ideas that could inspire me in the editing process, etc.) THEN I got back through and write all the rest from beginning to end.

Examples of fics I wrote/am writing from start to finish: alma perdida, saiki is typing..., and Vibrant Sunsets

Examples of fics I wrote out of order: Life is What You Make of It, Quite the Opposite, and Once and For All

Can you do a curly shepard headcanon where you are the curtis sister and you are having a secret relationship with curly

heya! i'm so glad to see people requesting more curly bc i don't see much written for him. i love that we get to know more about him in That Was Then, This is Now. i know this is probably not you were expecting, but ig it's just my own personal opinion on someone being a curtis sister and dating curly. if it was more of a general reader then i would've made it much different. (: <333 - mae

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* 　　 *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

Being a Curtis Sister and Secretly Dating Curly Shepard Hc's:

° Your brothers are insanely protective of you, which means that they'll always have an opinion when it comes to your s/o, no matter who it is. Honestly, they just want the best for you, which means no bums or hoodlums: A.k.a anyone like Dallas Winston, Tim Shepard or Curly Shepard are off limits! 

° You weren't a stranger to Curly Shepard, having seen him around school and with your brother's gang, but most often because he would hang out with Pony and the gang in the vacant lot, kicking a football around. So y'all were friendly at least by this point.

° As I've mentioned before, Curly isn't canonly smart at all and began flirting with you in front of your brothers and gang: Each of their heads turned to Curly lightning fast! He got cussed out and almost beat the tar out of as if he was complete filth for pulling a move like that on you.

° In fact, Sodapop was definitely the worst of the bunch because of the quick bursts of anger he experiences often. He's the most protective of you other than Darry and doesn't think anyone is good enough for you. That was the day that Curly Shepard knew better than to do such a dumb thing in front of your brothers. It was also the day that he developed a big thing for you, as he saw you as a challenge worth acquiring. He does dumb things all the time, not having much courage. However this time he went in impulsively, knowing he had to have you.

° It was also the day that you saw him in a new light. You'd always listened to your brothers, however, now you felt that a little fun behind their backs wouldn't be so bad…

° Surprisingly for not being intelligent, he's actually really good at flirting. He's got a smoothness to him, a recklessness that won you over quite quickly and the rest seemed to be history! Well, except for the fact you had to keep this on the down low even from Dallas because this is the one time he'd snitch on you. He wasn't even keen on Curly being a match for you, having pulled you off to the side on the front porch after Soda had to go on a long ass walk that night Curly tried pulling a possible move on you.

° "Listen kid, I don't think it's such a hot idea. Curly's an alright buddy for us guys, but not for you, ya savvy?" Dally said, drawing in a deep breath as he smoked.

° "Really? You too?" You looked amused, eyebrows raised, almost miffed. “I know what ‘not for me’ means. You think I’d date him, don’t you?”

° "It ain't cruel, but to save ya a lotta trouble. We all want what's good for ya, kid. You know that right?" 

° "Yeah sure."

° “Now don’t get mouthy with me, kid!” Dally said real stern and mean, his eyes like two hot coals.

° You nodded, backing off from the topic which caused him to smirk a little and ruffle your head playfully.

° It all becomes a massive secret from the moment it starts, but Curly makes that challenging when he's literally so mouthy and such a bad influence on you. You've never quite been a goody goody, but Darry has always been stricter on the likes of you and Ponyboy than on Soda, which makes you resentful. Despite being a year younger than Soda - making you around Curly’s age.

° But even you drew the line one night when your brothers and gang were all out and Curly turned up at your window drunk. You rolled your eyes as he hiccuped, sat flat on his ass on the dirt outside after falling the short height from your window sill. He was bitter as you snorted at him, miffed he’d arrived. That was the one and only time he ever tried something dumb like that. You chewed his ear in for weeks! Didn’t let him live it down for awhile after either.

° Canonly Curly is sort of a coward in the sense that he’s all bark and no bite. Unless his gang is there. He acts like he’s not afraid of what your brothers and their buddies will do to him once they find out, but for now he’s enjoying the ride while it lasts.

° He thinks it’s a good idea to put on shows sometimes to make you crazy with jealousy, because Curly can be a bit of a dick, but he realises it’s just not worth all of the hassle.

° God forbid when he inevitably goes back to juvie. You’re understandably emotional, but you can’t exactly tell your brothers why you’re so upset. You try hiding it but Soda’s really good at reading your non-verbal cues.

° Curly is definitely not the best influence on you, probably causing you to become more reckless and mouthy. It’s a wonder that you haven’t been stopped by the cops by now. Darry and your brothers probably hold an intervention when it gets worse. Curly will goad you to do stupid shit.

° Inevitably your brothers will discover this secret. It was Two-bit who found out, and although he didn’t like to be a snitch, the talk he had with you didnt go so hot. Your promises ended up being empty and he got worried. Two has a soft spot for you since you remind him so much of his kid sister. With his grey eyes gone sombre, he came clean to Darry who blew his top immediately when he picked you up from school. Man you hated Two-bit for a while.

° Curly got into shit himself from Tim and the gang. It didn’t end well, but it didn’t ruin the gang's ability to back the other up.

° I’m sorry to say it but once they find out, everything is over between you and Curly. It just isn’t happening. Not under Darry’s roof and you don’t have the dough to get your own place, not whilst you’re still in school that is. You’re most likely grounded for a long time too. You so much as get caught speaking to him and you’re in big trouble. Darry is a momma bear!

° Sodapop tried to understand but he feels betrayed that you didn’t trust him enough to come clean. You guys are close like that. He gets over it quickly, albeit a little sore.

° Pony comforts you a lot in his gentle way. He doesn’t really get it but he takes your mind off of things by taking you to movies.

° Overtime you realise your brothers and their friends were just looking out for you. Curly isn’t really the cream of the crop. He’s not striving for much and has a pretty messed up police record. Darry reminds you that you dodged a bullet, but you still don’t exactly see Curly the same way he does: You still are fond of him, sneaking him glances and smiles. Hell, you even snuck behind their backs in order to talk with him: He dug it, but you knew it hurt him. You never realised he dug you like that.

° When you parted ways with somewhat understanding, you kissed his cheer. “Goodbye, Curly. You take care’a yerself!” He still remembers your honey sweet voice and the way you looked so good walking away from him.

° (I totally know that this is probably not what you wanted to hear, but it’s just my own personal view. Although Ponyboy is friends with Curly, calling him a good kid - Curly kinda has a rough streak. The Curtis boys would react the same if even Dally or Tim tried to pull something like that on you too. They’re protective, and being as you’d be the only girl in the household, they’d see it as their duty to protect you. They’d want the best for you, which probably means dating someone more like Johnny or another good person: Someone that would treat you right and be a good influence on you. I hope that makes sense.)

Johnny Cade X Reader

Warnings: None

Broken

Most of your days consisted of spending time with the Curtis's. It was just a known thing, you were also the only girl in the gang and they protected you with their lives.

It made you feel so special, they wanted you to feel special because you were the only girl they would ever allow in the gang. Even some of the boys girlfriends didn’t know the gang nor you.

You even got along with Dallas, not many people get along with Dallas Winston and that’s saying a lot. Dallas didn’t just like you because you were a girl and had all the parts, but he liked you because of your personality. You were apart of them and you understood them like no others.

You were also kind of like the mom in the group, when they got into rumbles you would patch them up and take care of them.

You could say that your favorite person in the gang for sure though was Johnny Cade, also known as johnnycakes.

He hardly joined the rumbles, only when they really needed him. Ever since he got jumped by bob he was jumpy to most touch. So fighting wasn’t really in the picture right now.

It was bad enough his parents treated him like they did, but the socs on the other hand was enough to make someone weak and broken.

Johnny would mostly hang out with you during rumbles, you would talk, laugh, and joke around to the point where you started falling in love with the puppy eye'd boy, also another nickname for Johnnycakes.

You really didn’t know how to express your feelings, the only think you knew how to do was ignore people that you liked.

It was a coping mechanism that you had set, it also made everything awkward though. The constant avoiding made forceful comments awkward and even Johnny could feel it.. of course he could.

It made him feel like he was more broken that he realized, though the mechanism you used made you feel better about your feelings it hurt Johnny more, it made him think you wouldn’t ever want to be seen with him or be with a broken boy like him.

He was very insecure in that area, his confidence was definitely not low. From the constant pain he would receive from his own parents and socs just lowered his confidence, therefore he was super quiet so he wouldn’t draw attention to himself.

With that being said you were at the Curtis's along with the rest of the gang, including Johnny of course. He kept the group together.

Dallas started joking around and talking with you, you started interfering back and sparking conversations with him, little jokes here and there but all platonically considering your love for a certain puppy eye’d boy.

Suddenly Johnny felt very left out, he was the only one in the group that wasn’t speaking. It seemed that no one realized well to him, you noticed it but you didn’t know what to do.

Johnny was sitting right next to you, so it made it harder to ignore his heating presents. You were practically touching arms and legs, you could feel the heat radiating from his body and it sent goosebumps up your skin.

Your breathing started picking up once your brain realized everything, your heart sped up until suddenly that warmth was replace with cold air as Johnny got up, stuffing his hands in his pockets and walking outside on the porch.

A few seconds later you excused yourself and decided on checking up on Johnny, walking outside on the porch you close both the screen door and the main door wanting to have as much privacy as the thin house could maintain.

The sound of the screen door closing caught Johnny’s attention from blowing smoke up in the air. You didn’t condone smoking to much, but somehow Johnny always looked so hot doing tricks like that.

You walk over to the rocking chair beside him and take a seat, "hey Johnny" You awkwardly say.

"Y/n" he tilts his head towards you.

You sighed as you let silence fall over you two, "ya know, I never thought I’d say this but I really like you Y/n" Johnny finally admits looking up from playing with his fingers.

Your heart drops as you realize you practically ignored him and he felt the same. "I guess you ignorin' me confirmed you don’t like me back" He says, and you can practically hear the hurt behind his voice.

"Johnny I-" you don’t even get to finish the sentence before Johnny speaks back up.

"It’s okay Y/n, I understand I’m to broken for me to..." He sniffles, getting up stuffing his hands in his pockets and rushing down the street.

"Wait! Johnny!" You speak up rushing towards him, but he doesn’t stop walking except he speed up his pace.

"Johnny!" You finally catch up to him gently grabbing onto his arm and stepping in front of him.

You get a good look at his face, he has tears forming from his eyes. He turned his head away from you, embarrassed from showing you weak feelings.

"Johnny look at me please..." You trail off, using your finger to guide him to look at you. Eventually he does.

"I’m sorry I didn’t say this before, but I love you to Johnny" You admit with red cheeks.

"Really? You’re not just sayin' that because you feel bad?" He sniffles.

"Of course not, I’m in love with you Johnny Cade" You smile grabbing his hands and interwinding them, bringing your body’s closer.

Johnny blushes as he pull you in a much needed hug, he digs his head in the crook of your neck "I’m in love with ya' to Y/n" He states shyly.

You both pull away from the hug, gazing into each other’s eyes "can I kiss you?" You question, wanting to make sure incase you overstepped any boundaries.

Johnny nods and you seal your lips together, his lips press firmly but still gently agains his chapped lips, he tasted like smoke and vanilla and honestly it was addicting to you.

He places his hand on your jaw and pulls you in closer, you both pull away gently "wow you taste' good" You blush.

"I’m sorry that sounded weird" You confirm scrunching you your nose, Johnny blushed as he lets out stutters of words.

"N-no it’s great' you taste wow'" Johnny blushes as he looks at the ground.

"Wanna' go to the lot?" You question grabbing his hand.

Johnny nods as you began your journey to the lot, if anyone would have told you that you would be here 5 minutes ago you would have laughed, but not anymore and you were thankful for that.

Why? (a Dallas Winston Imagine)

 Hello Friends!   So I am fairly new to the realm of fanfiction writing (so please be nice 🤪), but a friend of mine who would like to remain anonymous has asked me to write a Dallas Winston imagine for her. I don’t consider myself a good writer by any means, but I hope she enjoys it 😊😊 TRIGGER WARNING: This story revolves heavily around the topic of self harm and contains strong language, viewer discretion is advised.

  Two weeks.

It’s been two whole weeks since you last saw your boyfriend, Dallas Winston. Sure, there were times when you guys had gone days without seeing or talking to each other before, but two fucking week? You knew Dally had to be wondering what was up, but you just couldn’t face him. Not now. Not after what you had done to yourself.

You needed time. Time to process the chaotic mess that you call your life unfolding before you. Time to deal with the feeling of miserable emptiness that you had allowed to fester for far too long, and the subsequent explosion of sharp, stinging agony now permanently etched into your wrists.

Dally knew about it, though. Or at least he knew that it had happened before. You were sort of forced to admit it to him one night when he ran his hand teasingly up your thigh and felt the thin ridges of scar tissue. He stopped and questioned you about it, but you dismissed it with a simple “it was a long time ago, it will never happen again,” and allowed him to continue, curious and concerned but nonetheless satisfied.

You weren’t sure how he would react if he found out you’d done it again. You loved Dallas with all your heart, but he was about as predictable as a hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico. He could either react with an overzealous, fire-breathing rage or with such stone fucking cold intensity that the very thought of it chilled you to the bone. This is why he could never find out, would never find out. You thought about this as you dabbed away at the last little drops of blood collecting at the surface of your cuts, wincing at the piercing and itchy sensation.

Suddenly, you heard the doorbell ring.

Shit, you thought, please don’t let that be who I think it is.

You scrambled to bandage up your wrists and conceal them under your sleeves. You leaped off of your bed, smooth out your skirt, and check your appearance one last time in the mirror. Damn. Your eyes looked puffy and your cheeks were red, but there wasn’t time to fix it. The doorbell rang again. You put on a fake smile as you hurry toward the living room.

You opened the door and there stood none other than Dallas Winston himself, hands jammed into the pockets of his leather jacket and a cancer stick hanging out of his mouth.

“Nice to see you again, doll,” he said, an angrily bemused look in his eye. “I was starting to think I didn’t have a girlfriend anymore.”

“Babe, I’m so sorry,” you sighed, “I’ve just…I’ve just been so busy lately and, uh, I’ve…well…”

His eyes softened as he looked at your face. “Are you feeling okay, Y/N? You don’t look so hot.”

“…Uh, yeah, that’s it. I think I might be starting to come down with a cold or something.”

You hated lying to him, but you knew it was for the best.

He took the cigarette out of his mouth and flicked it into the grass. “Well, I guess that explains it, man. But why didn’t ya tell me? I could’ve come over and, I dunno, took care of you or something.”

“I just…I didn’t want to bother you, that’s all.”

“You don’t bother me, doll. You never bother me. In fact, the only way you do is when you get me all hot and bothered.”

He took this opportunity to let himself in, close the door, grab your hips and pin you up against the wall. He planted soft, sultry kisses on your lips and all over your neck. Briefly forgetting your woes, you giggled and allowed Dally to sweep you off your feet, quite literally. Without daring to pull his lips away from yours, he carried you into the bedroom.

He placed your body down on the bed as though he were handling a tiny porcelain doll. He climbed onto the bed and hovered over you as you placed your hands on his shoulders and tried to pull him closer to you. Dally, however, being the ever aggressive alpha male that he is, grabbed your wrists and pinned you down. Instantly feeling the harsh sting, you let out a yelp.

He immediately let go and sat up a bit. “Baby, what wrong?”

Your heart skipped a beat. “Um, I was just…surprised. I wasn’t, y’know, expecting you to do that.”

Dally was bewildered. You had never had a problem with him taking control like that. What was going on? Did he hurt you?

He glanced briefly at the side of your bed, but immediately did a double take when he saw the wads of red-stained tissues piled up in the wastebasket. It was at this moment that he put two and two together.

“Y/N…can I see your wrists?” he asked.

“Uh, why?” you laughed, nervously. “Just let me see them.”

“There’s nothing to see.”

“Let me see, Y/N.”

“No.”

“Let. Me. See.”

“NO.”

“Goddammit, just let me see!”

He seized your left arm and rolled down the sleeve. He peeled back the bandage, revealing about eleven small lines, raw and oozing. You began to cry.

Speechless, Dallas let go of your wrist and slowly retreated to the edge of your bed. He turned away from you, hanged his head and sighed loudly. You were shaking and trying so hard not to bawl.

“Why?” he asked after a few moments of silence.

“What do you mean?” you replied, quietly.

“I mean, why? Why did you do this? Why would you want to hurt yourself like this?”

“I don’t know, Dal, I just…I…well…things haven’t been okay with me. Not for a long time and—”

“And you didn’t think you could come and talk to me about it?”

He whipped his head around to look at you. His eyes looked bloodshot…and furious.

“No, babe, it’s not that, I…I didn’t—”

“YOU DIDN’T WHAT, Y/N? HUH?” he exploded, jumping to his feet and practically foaming at the mouth. “Did you think I wouldn’t understand? That I wouldn’t get it? That I wouldn’t have given a shit? What the fuck do you think I would have done? God dammit, why did you do it?! Why?!”

You felt bile rising in your throat as he grabbed you by your shoulders and began to violently shake you. “Do you have a fucking death wish or something Y/N? Because that’s what’s gonna fucking happen if you keep this shit up!”

By now, you could feel the sobs racking your body. Your heart was beating out of your chest as you tried desperately to distance yourself from his grip. You had never seen Dallas like this. Sure, you’d seen him get mad, but not this mad. It was like some sort of animalistic demon had seized control of him. You were beyond terrified.

Looking into your eyes, he could see the fear and panic he was causing you. He let go, instantly overcome with guilt.

“…Y/N…baby I’m…I’m so sorry.”

You couldn’t speak. You were too scared to even move. All you could do was stare at him and cry.

“I dunno why, man…I didn’t mean to…Honestly, I didn’t mean to act like that.”

He tried to place a hand on your cheek, but you flinched.

“Y/N…”

Feeling the whole weight of the situation resting on your head, you pulled your knees into your chest, put your head between your knees and let go.

You cried harder than you’d ever cried before. You didn’t even bother to conceal your wails, you screamed and sobbed as though you were releasing every last droplet of sorrow from your body. You cried so hard you felt nauseated, but at this point you didn’t care.

Dally gently put a hand on your back and began to rub it in small circles. After a few minutes of your harrowing lamentation, he slowly picked your body up and placed you into his lap. You allowed yourself to melt into him.

“Let it all out, doll.” he cooed, kissing the top of your head.

After a while, your cries turned into whimpers, and you soon stopped altogether. You steadily regained your composure and sat up in Dally’s lap.

“I’m so sorry I acted like that, Y/N.” he said, brushing your hair behind your ear. “I just…I didn’t know what to think. I love you so much and I’d do anything for you, and to see you hurting yourself like this…it’s…well, it’s killing me.”

“Dal, I’m sorry I didn’t tell you. I didn’t want you to worry about me, that’s all. I…I guess I thought I could handle it on my own.”

“But you couldn’t, could you?”

“…No, I guess not.”

“Look, doll, I know I’m probably not the easiest person to talk to, but please don’t keep this shit to yourself, alright? Come talk to me, man. And I mean it. I’m your boyfriend, it’s my job to help you and keep you safe.”

“Babe, it’s not your job to—”

“Yes, it is my job. Like I said, I’d do anything for you…I love you.”

Dally gave you small but meaningful kiss on your lips. “Now, do you promise me you’ll never do anything like this again?”

You gazed into his deep brown eyes. “Yes, I do.”

“And do you promise to tell me when things aren’t going okay?”

“Absolutely.”

“Good.”

He laid down on your bed and pulled you down next to him. You spent the rest of the night cuddling, with him whispering in your ear about how beautiful you are and how much he loves you.

Yeah, your life wasn’t easy, but at least you had Dallas Winston by your side. 💕

The Outsiders Asks

@airkingasparagus

Characters

Darrel Curtis: What’s a situation where you’ve stepped up and become a leader?

I don't know whether this counts or not but I had to comfort a friend when she cried about something that was going on. so I don't know if I played the roll of a leader or not.

Ponyboy Curtis: If you could fix any problem, in your world or someone else’s, what would you fix?

I want people to believe in themselves and get rid of their envy because that could help us come together and accept each other more.

Sodapop Curtis: Name a time where you’ve had your heart broken

When my first best friend broke up with me, I cried myself to sleep for a whole month

Johnny Cade: What’s something you’re proud of yourself for?

grades, art and kindness. but it's not pride, they are just strengths that God gives me.

Two-Bit Mathews: Have you ever stolen something? Why did you steal it?

Just stupid little things. I stole 3 Doritos bags from some classmates 'stash of chips' and a fine liner from my teachers desk.... whoops 

nothing intense though lol 

Dallas Winston: What one event most shaped the way you see the world?

10 years worth of bullying, they made me realize that there is bad just like there is good and you just have to be strong and overcome these situations.

Steve Randle: Why is your best friend your best friend?

She understands me and likes me for who I truly am. She laughs with me and cries with me. we do the stupidest things together and I love her so much.

Cherry Valance: How does other people’s perceptions of you affect the way you act?

Honestly, it doesn't affect me at all. if it's negative I won't let it affect me if it's positive then, great! you like something about me.

Bob Sheldon: How do you want to be remembered?

As a kind, strong, charismatic, and courageous person.

Randy Anderson: What’s a spur-of-the-moment decision you’ve made that had consequences?

I told a secret to a person whom I had JUST started building my trust with and they made it public and I lost my trust in them.

Locations

The Drive-In: What appeals to you the most about the 60s and 80s?

60s cars and 80s style, movies and music

The Movie Theater: What movie (besides The Outsiders) had a significant impact on you?

The Hate U Give

The Church: Where do you go to feel like the world can’t touch you?

The park, I'll sit on a swing and read a book and I feel free. 

I would also go to my friend and it's like we are on a whole nother world just her and me. we have the wackiest ideas and the weirdest jokes and we feel in such similar ways.

The Lot: What is a place you thought was safe that ended up betraying you?

A corner on my school playground where I would hang out with my friends

The Curtis House: For you, is home a person or place?

a place, because it's just a thing. what matters most are the people who MAKE UP home.

Objects

Switchblade: What makes you feel safe?

Home and the people that care for me.

Leather Jacket: What’s an outfit/piece of clothing you always feel confident in?

Ripped jeans & hoodies or ripped jeans, a spaghetti strap and a jean jacket over the whole thing.

Bologna: What’s something you’ve disliked for as long as you can remember?

Heartless people.

Coffee: What is your vice, if any?

Idk

Converse: If you had to run from the police with anyone from The Outsiders, who would you choose and why?

Sodapop Curtis because his energy would keep me going and if I had to stay in a place, like the church, Ill have a shoulder to cry on and someone to comfortably talk to. And Steve Randle because he'd be the brains of the whole thing and he would know where to go and what to do. He would encourage me to be strong no matter what and to also be wise. I feel like they would both tell me to think with both my heart and my head, because the mind can overthink and work against me and the heart can soften me up and make me weak. They would tell me that even if I didn't do anything wrong but get blamed anyways, if I believe deep down inside that I didn't do it, I don't need anyone else to believe me because I saw it with my own eyes and they didn't, therefore Im right and people will see it sooner or later. For these reasons I'd run from the police with Sodapop Curtis and Steve Randle.

37. What’s your favorite part of the Outsiders Weekend?

i just love how everyone gets together and helps spread positivity and kindness and it’s just so much fun

[changesxnight]

do uhhhhhh all the identity asks

how the hell am I supposed to do that if I don’t have an identity? 

if someone wanted to really understand you, what would they read, watch, and listen to?- read HOTPS. watch the Breakfast Club. listen to the Heathers musical soundtrack or to my bpd playlist.

have you ever found a writer who thinks just like you? if so, who?- SE Hinton, at least when she was younger. I feel understood when I read her books. Everything makes sense. For once, I’m not crazy. Quite the opposite actually; I fit right in.

list your fandoms and one character from each that you identify with.- The Outsiders — Dallas Winston - the Breakfast Club — Allison Reynolds - Impractical Jokers — Joe Gatto (but he’s real??)- Supernatural — Dean Winchester - Heathers — I wish it was Veronica but I think it’s really JD.

do you like your name? is there another name you think would fit you better?- my real name is Ashley and I do like it, but there’s a reason I go by Britt online. no, not just cause 12 year old me was paranoid that stalkers would find her but rather, it gives me a sense of freedom. I almost feel like it’s a clean slate, even though Britt acts just like Ashley- I also love the name of my character in my novel, Katie Curtis-Mellinger. it might not fight right now but by the time I die, it will. probably in more ways than I’d like it to….

do you think of yourself as a human being or a human doing? do you identify yourself by the things you do?- dang. this is a good one. - my main point in HOTPS is that we’re all human. we were born to love and to be loved. to be human is to feel: cry, laugh, love, talk, get angry, be happy. it’s in our nature.- but man. see, I would like to say I’m a human doing but that means I’m my good deeds and sins. so if one sin an one good deed cancel out, do I cancel out to be average? I don’t know

are you religious/spiritual?- I am. I’m a not-so-practicing Seventh-Day Adventist. If I’m being perfectly honest, I’m at a point where I truly only care about Jesus.- I actually don’t even like the label ‘Christian’ because of how other people with that same title act. I’m a follower of Christ and I get it means the same thing but I follow what Jesus says. - He told us to love others, to love each other the way God loves us: unconditionally. We shouldn’t judge others; actually, the way we judge others is how God’s gonna judge us so….

do you care about your ethnicity?- kinda?? I only bring up that I’m Italian when I need to defend my appetite, my volume or why I talk with my hands

what musical artists have you most felt connected to over your lifetime?- at the moment, Green Day. I’m angry and I hate the government and all its corruptness. I want it to change for the better. I want human beings to be treated like human beings. I want a government that can earn my respect, I’m sick of giving it away because it’s “the polite thing to do.”

are you an artist?- writing is a form of art, right?

do you have a creed?- lately, it’s been praying for the ones I hate. like this kid in my class is a complete asshat. he’s bigoted in every way. racist, homophobic and sexist and more. he’s horrible.- but I’ve been praying for him. and he’s been nicer to me. he’s keeping his mouth shut more often. so it’s a win-win.

describe your ideal day.- there’s lots of ideal days- a day at Camp with my newly made friends (and old friends) where we talk about memes, make our own memes, hike the mountain and eat Tin Foil Dinners. it sounds perfect. - but a day at the beach is also perfect. bike riding all morning and going to the shops in town. I would love to buy whatever I wanted and not care about the price. swimming in the ocean, nearly drowning in salt water. I love it- but a day at an amusement park sounds perfect, too. riding roller coasters, talking to Tyler at the water slide, singing Shake It Off on Demon Drop while Shane says “my shoe fell off.” stupidity but perfection. and let’s finish the night off with a 5sos concert. and I’ll meet Jack Hemmings - honestly, a stress free day is ideal

dog person or cat person?- I love cats but I’m a dog person - but I’m morphing into a cat person. Nicki, man…. she knows how to get me all cuddly and just wanting to drink hot chocolate while it’s raining or something

inside or outdoors?- see I love both- I love camping and the fresh air and running around bare foot in grass - but I also love wifi, blankets and my bed so

are you a musician?- wow I wish

five most influential books over your lifetime.- the Outsiders- Rumble Fish- Just Listen- that’s it

if you’d grown up in a different environment, do you think you’d have turned out the same?- hell no. ask me about my HOTPS AUs. seriously. nearly everything in life is impacted by epigenetics ask me about that too  

would you say your tumblr is a fair representation of the “real you”?- yeah. I try to act like I do in real life and be honest with others

which Harry Potter house would you be in? or are you a muggle?- I regret never getting into Harry Potter but I admire Heromine immensely - but to answer your question, everyone tells me I’d be a Hufflepuff

would you rather be in Middle Earth, Narnia, Hogwarts, or somewhere else?- Neverland

do you love easily?- is the Pope Catholic

list the top five things you spend the most time doing, in order.- day dream - eat- watch YouTube videos, movies or tv shows- write - sing

how often would you want to see your family every year?- who are we talking about here?- I wanna see my mom every day- but I could die happy if I never saw my Mellinger cousins again

have you ever felt like you had a “mind-meld” with someone?- yeah several times - one time, Sam texted me “get chocolate milk” the exact second I went to reach for it. keep in mind, she lives 350 miles away- another time, I was in an accident across the state and my mom woke up, crying, not sure why she was so sad but she felt horrible. it was at the same time I was crying, whimpering for my momma

could you live as a hermit?- hell no. I need human interaction in order to function

how would you describe your gender/sexuality?- I guess I’m cisgender? Let’s not get into that….- I’m technically pansexual. I like guys, gals and non-binary pals. If you’re human, I’ll find you cute- But I like the label bisexual more. I don’t know why, I just do.

do you feel like your outside appearance is a fair representation of the “real you”?- if the real me is a fat blonde who lives in hoodies, jeans and flannels cause she’s gay and insecure than…..I don’t wanna be the “real me”

on a scale from 1 to 10, how hard is it for someone to get under your skin?- it really depends on my mood and I know that’s a shitty answer but I could have the patience of a saint one day and be ready to kill someone because they’re breathing too loudly the next. sometimes even the ones I love the most can annoy the hell outta me

three songs that you connect with right now.- I’m Not Pregnant, I’m Just Fat- Michael in the Bathroom - Fight For Me

pick one of your favorite quotes.- “To prove God’s love. I have to give everything — nothing held back — so they will know.” Jesus, 1999. the movie, not the person. 

[rumble-aint-a-rumble-without-me]

hi hi! What'd you think the boys would do if the reader was standing under mistletoe?

A/N: I see you Nonny. I see you. Thanks for sending this in, it really jump started my creativity again <3

DARRY CURTIS

I think the holidays would bring out the fun in Darry, especially if you’re around when they hit!

There’s less stress on his shoulders when you’re by his side, I think he would actually get some time to lay back and relax

Which is exactly where the mistletoe comes in!

I’ve got a feeling Two-Bit put it in the house, but somehow, one way or another, a sprig of mistletoe finds its way into the doorway in the Curtis hallway

Darry just happens to find you beneath it, more than once of course, and takes the moment to stop and kiss you nicely before continuing on

He’ll walk away smiling, whistling to himself, happy and content with everything he’s got going for him

SODAPOP CURTIS

I can just see Sodapop leaning against the doorframe, those pretty brown eyes of his looking up at the mistletoe before landing back on your face, smiling the whole time

He’d be so sweet too, gently cupping your face with this cocky little grin that you can’t help but smile back at because he’s just too pretty-

He’s definitely the one who put it up, he’d like the extra excuse to kiss you whenever he wanted

I honestly wouldn’t put it past him to keep some mistletoe in his pocket so that you just have to kiss him, no matter where you guys end up

If someone wants to complain about how the two of you always seem to end up under the mistletoe, Sodapop couldn’t care less

Mistletoe was made for kissing and the middle Curtis brother is going to take full advantage of the little plant and kiss you a million times whenever he sees a sprig

PONYBOY CURTIS

Pony would go best red when someone points out the mistletoe over your heads and you can’t convince me otherwise

He’d chuckle nervously and duck his head, rubbing the back of his neck as he glances up at you to see how you feel about the situation you’ve just found yourself in

Full disclosure, you’re probably going to have to make the first move, Pony’s a little shy, I think, so you might have to make the first step

Just cup his face in your hands and give him a little smooch and I will personally guarantee Ponyboy will go even redder than he was before

If you’re in front of the boys, expect jeering and teasing no matter how innocent your kiss may be, the boys are annoying and we all know it

But if it was just the two of you, only you guys in the hallway, only you beneath the mistletoe, Ponyboy might be a bit bolder and pull you in for the kiss, smiling shyly against your lips <3

DALLAS WINSTON

Hear me out, alright? Just stick with me and let me go on my little rant, I swear I have a point, and I hope it comes across coherent and sweet

Buck, trying to be funny, sticks a thing of mistletoe at the base of the staircase, hanging nice and pretty from the ceiling, shining under the neon lights

Let’s just that Dallas knows it there and you don’t <3

So it’s just the two of you, going on your way to his room, done with the party scene and ready to fall asleep next to each other

And all of the sudden, Dally will just stop on the staircase and turn around to look down at you with the biggest grin, nodding up towards the little plant hanging up above your heads

And it’s not like he hasn’t been kissing you all night, because I’d bet money he has been, he just likes having another excuse to kiss you

JOHNNY CADE

10/10 experience, wholesome to the max, I think Johnny would love seeing you under the mistletoe

With some coaxing from the boys, he might sidle up beside you and press a soft kiss to your cheek, a bright spark in those dark eyes of his <3

Once he has your attention, he’d give you a nice kiss, smiling against your lips as he laces his fingers with yours

I don’t see him as the kind of guy who would carry mistletoe with him, but I see him definitely taking advantage of whatever mistletoe you find yourself under

Just a few soft kisses and then you guys are good to go on, holding hands as you walk on

If you kiss him, oh hoo hoo, he’s never been more in love with you and you can just see it in his eyes and the way he looks at you

TWO-BIT MATHEWS

Without any hesitation, Two-Bit would literally make out with you beneath the mistletoe if you let him

No matter who’s watching, if you let him, he will kiss you til you’re gasping for air because he just really, really loves you, alright?

Kissing you is something he would do anyway, so why would he mind a little plant that means he has to kiss you even more

This is sort of wholesome, I can just see him kissing you to the cheers of the boys and then giving you a soft little kiss before you step out from beneath the mistletoe

He’s gonna make a comment or two about how badly he wishes mistletoe were an all-year-round sort of thing, just you wait for it, it’s definitely gonna happen a few times

Just imagine the way he would look at you if you were the one to start the kiss, God, there would be stars in his eyes and I just really want someone to look at me like that-

STEVE RANDLE

For some reason, I’ve just got this feeling that Steve would be absolutely oblivious to whenever he’s under the mistletoe and I can just see the soft look in his eyes when you kiss him

Like if he’s busy with something and you come up to him and plant a kiss on his lips, he’s just gonna be so cute and confused before realizing what’s going on

Once he realizes though, you’ll need a crowbar to get him off of you, just a forewarning

But like, I can also see him as the guy who actively hunts for mistletoe so that he can kiss you more <3

Just him dragging you through the house by your hand so he can kiss you underneath it

Like I would bet money that he and Sodapop had a super long discussion about whether or not it was a good idea to hang some mistletoe in the garage so that when you came to visit your boy, Steve had the excuse to kiss you again

TIM SHEPARD

I just wanna kiss Tim Shepard so badly, I hope you all know that know because I really really want to

I will personally guarantee, if Tim finds you beneath the mistletoe, expect him to join you, a cocky grin on his face

He’ll make some suggestive comment, letting his hands find your waist and tugging you closer to him, thumbing across the hem of the waistline of your pants

And that smile? If you don’t kiss him when he smiles at you like that, I think you’re seriously missing your opportunity

I don’t see him going out of his way to find mistletoe to kiss you under, he’s Tim Shepard and he does what he wants, including kissing you

But if a sprig of mistletoe just happens to appear in one of the doorways in the Shepard house, don’t be alarmed <3 it was done out of love

CURLY SHEPARD

Curly’s favorite part of the holiday season quickly becomes the mistletoe, especially after the two of you start getting serious in your relationship

I’ve talked a little about it before I think, just how touchy Curly is in a relationship and how often he’d kiss you, and it really just gets worse when mistletoe is in the equation

He has little to no shame whatsoever so he’d be down to make out with you beneath the plant, no matter where you guys are and who you’re around

Also also also, please for the love of everything in this miserable world, drag Curly beneath the mistletoe and kiss him until he’s breathless, only able to grin at you like the little love-sick fool he is

Curly is touch-starved and attention-starved, so if you’re the one who instigates the kisses and all that, I will personally guarantee that Curly will be over the moon with excitement

And! He’s definitely the kind of asshole who’s going to make some comment in, like, the middle of a makeout session, about how the two of you really don’t even the mistletoe to kiss <3
