Hi! Can You Do The Gang With Reader Who Has Avoidant Attachment Style?

hi! can you do the gang with reader who has Avoidant attachment style?

the gang with avoidant attachment!reader (request)

authors note: i researched about avoidant attachment, and it’s basically someone who is independent, uncomfortable with intimacy, struggles with voicing emotions, emotionally distant or unavailable, and somewhat detached from relationships. i get out of school on the 14th, so ill try to work on all the requests over the summer! as i am working on this, i have 8 requests in my inbox. sorry i technically didn’t post yesterday!! this post is really short, but i hope you enjoy 💗

includes ponyboy, johnny, soda, darry, dally, two-bit and steve

word count: 1.8k

warnings: cussing, avoiding, being uncomfortable with physical touch and emotional talk, struggles in relationships

PONYBOY CURTIS

you and ponyboy were in your history class, working on notes, studying for your upcoming test

the teacher had given the class the questions beforehand, so you wrote down the odds and your boyfriend wrote down the evens

you later wrote down the even number questions and answered them, along with answering all your odd questions besides one

you stared at your paper with confusion, not wanting your boyfriend to notice that you were struggling with a specific question

you frantically looked through the textbook, trying to find the answer to no avail

ponyboy glanced over to you, seeing your worried face, asking quietly, “you want some help, y/n?” not wanting you to be embarrassed

you shook your head, not looking back at him, still flipping through the pages of the history textbook

he wanted you to get the question without telling you or asking once again if you needed help, so he flipped to the page where he found the answer in his textbook, and put it into your view

ponyboy stayed quiet, you glanced at his desk to see the textbook on his desk, flipped to a certain page, the topic of your question in big red text

you flipped to the page in your book, writing down the answer in your notes page

your boyfriend smiled at you, asking if you’d like to go over your notes to see if you got the same answers

you nodded and read over your notes, all of your answers matching

ponyboy would help you in discreet ways, ways that you would hardly think about as helping

but he was fine that you didn’t consider his actions as helping, he didn’t want you to think he was helping, because then you would become distant

he would try to be on his own sometimes, to be independent, but would get used to asking help from people even though he was fine with doing things on his own

he would try to get you into the habit of asking for help, failing profusely, but you knew he cared

JOHNNY CADE

you and your boyfriend were at the drive in, watching an elvis movie together

but before the movie started, you asked johnny if he wanted to get some food and drinks from the concessions stand, so the two of you walked over to where the food was

“you want anything, johnny? i can pay.” you asked

he said, “oh, maybe we can share popcorn? um, i can pay, actually..” not wanting to be rude

you replied with a yes to sharing the popcorn, but refusing to let him pay for the food

he nodded, knowing you wouldn’t let him pay, but he wanted you to know that he would pay if you let him

johnny is someone who didn’t really get a lot of affection, so he kind of craves it

but the two of you make your relationship work, and he respects your boundaries, knowing how difficult it was when rules and boundaries were crossed

so he showed his love for you with affectionate words, even if you wouldn’t say it back

you would help him with things, along with his emotions but never opening up yourself

he knew you cared for him and loved him, but you had a very difficult time expressing it

SODAPOP CURTIS

you and soda were walking down the street after getting two milkshakes from a diner

the two of you were walking back to your house and he was talking about a weird person who walked into the DX

“so, there was this guy, right. and he walked into the shop, hardly fitting through the doors. and as a reminder, we have double doors, you know? anyway, he ordered a soda and a burger, then when he walked away, me and steve saw his asscrack!!! then guess what steve said! he yelled after the guy, ‘pull up your pants, man!!’” while giggling constantly

you laughed and he lightly hit your shoulder, but you moved away quickly, slouching and looking around the road nervously

he apologized, continuing to talk about other things that happened at the shop, knowing you’d want the conversation to keep going, distracting you

he’s naturally a very touchy person but tries hard not to be physical with you since he knew you would get uncomfortable

DARRY CURTIS

you and darry were at his house, planning to make chocolate cake together, trying to work on collaborating with each other

the two of you were talking while measuring ingredients, putting them into the bowl

“is pony still doing good in school?” you asked, being genuinely curious, looking at your boyfriend for a split second

he nodded, explaining that he was the top of his class and got number one in long jump for his track meet the other day

the two of you continued your conversation, darry passing by you, not before putting a hand on your hip

you cowered and moved away slightly, his hand coming off your hip, apologies coming out of his mouth

“oh, um, it’s ok dare…” you muttered, your boyfriend replying with, “if you don’t want me to do anything, i’ll respect it. just gotta tell me, okay?” and looked at you with worry in his eyes

you smiled at him and continued talking about ponyboy and the gang

he also had a difficult time asking for help, people often expecting a lot for him, more than he could give

so he naturally became independent, just like you

the two of you would try to practice relying on each other, just to get used to being a bit dependent on each other

the two of you knew you didn’t have to be dependent on each other in order to love each other, and you knew that

he would give you little kisses and affectionate actions, but if you pushed him away then he word respect your boundaries

DALLAS WINSTON

the two of you were sitting next to each other in the police station, your boyfriends knee touching yours

the two of you were quiet, but you moved your leg away, not comfortable with the touch

a man with big muscles, wearing a black shirt and jeans came into the station, asking for a y/n l/n and a dallas winston

you recognized him as darry, whispering to your boyfriend that darry was there to pick the two of you up

the officer talked to the both of you, telling you it’s wrong to steal, and recommending that you break up with him, that dally would only get you into more trouble

the two of you previously got arrested for stealing money from someone

you and dally were very alike, both of you hardly asked for help or showed affection in public besides laughing and talking with each other

so you and dally were a good couple and had the same boundaries and expectations

TWO-BIT MATTHEWS

you and your boyfriend, keith, were at his house hanging out after school

both of you were in his room and you were helping him out with homework, even though you were younger than him but in a higher grade, him being held back many times

after your boyfriend was done struggling and you were done explaining the questions, you brought out your science homework and stared at it for a couple seconds

two-bit noticed and asked you, “need help, babe?” and you politely shook your head, muttering, “no thank you..”

he watched you struggle and knew you wouldn’t ask for help, he knew you picked up habits from your childhood that caused you to be highly independent

but he understood you more than anyone else did, more than you even understood yourself

keith would try to help you in little ways, things you hardly noticed, like giving you your pencil if you couldn’t find it, or scooping up a cup of flour for your cake

he would, however, often need help himself because he was lazy and didn’t always have a drive for things

STEVE RANDLE

you walked to the DX to see steve, wanting to be with him after a difficult day at school

when you walked into the shop, seeing your boyfriend at the register, you smiled

“hey y/n, didn’t expect to see you here. how’d that test go? i knew you were talking about it for the past few days..” he said

as you walked up to steve, you hesitantly said, “oh, um… i didn’t get that good of a score. eighty-four percent, i’m gonna retake it.” looking away, feeling shameful

steve looked at you, telling you that he could help you study if you wanted it

you turned down his offer, wanting to do everything on your own, he knew you were independent but thought you needed help sometimes, however you wouldn’t let him help you

“you sure? don’t want you to be stressed, no shame in asking for help.” he told you, and you stared at him for a few seconds, saying “thank you, but i’m fine. really. i’ll study for a few days, the retake isn’t until thursday.”

he nodded and looked down, mumbling an “alright” then asked “you wanna go out to eat if you get a good score?” looking at you then smiling

you smiled widely at him and blushed, nodding at his question

he’s a little more stubborn than the rest of the group, so you can get a bit frustrated if he keeps persisting to help you with something

but he just wants to show you that he cares about you, and with the small chance that you’d want help, he would help you

authors note: sorry i didn’t post yesterday! i have a little bit of homework but only have a few more days left of school. i’ll try to get some more requests done this weekend 💗

includes: ponyboy, johnny, darry, soda, dally, two-bit and steve

word count: 2.0k

warnings: mild cussing, mentions of fighting/getting jumped

PONYBOY CURTIS

you both are academic BEASTS so you’re somewhat rivals and trying to get to the top of the class

but you’re still together, it’s a healthy relationship

most of the time, you’ll actually walk him home from wherever you are since it’s safe for you to walk home on your own, but since he’s a greaser it’s not safe for him

when you met the gang they taught you how to fight in case some greasers or even some socs tried to fight you

by walking him home, you’ve actually prevented him from getting beat up

you like to take him out to get food or something he wants when he gets a good grade since he gets happy when they’re high

sometimes you’ll get lower grades than him and you two will study together, or reversed

you’ll get him a new book every time he finishes another one, by the end of the year he has a new shelf just filled with books you’ve given him

you occasionally read him to sleep when he’s having a hard time, or again reversed

he falls asleep pretty quickly when you do this and he really appreciates it

you always sit together during assemblies and choose to be each others partner in the classes you have together

if you don’t decide to do track one year you’ll go to his meets, and after you always take him out to eat since you’re proud

if he’s extra tired then he’ll ask to go home so you will

you learned how to cook so he can have big nice meals, along with baking chocolate cake when soda and darry aren’t there to make it

pony thinks you make it better than darry but will never tell him that

he really loves spending time with you and feels like you’re the first person besides johnny to really understand him

you made him think about socs in a different way too, in a good way

yall are just humans doing what you know best, some in different environments and had different parents with different parenting styles

you like to bring him to the best places in tulsa to watch the sunsets

you also get the best polaroids of the sunsets and the colors are so beautiful

JOHNNY CADE

as soon as he told the gang that he was dating someone they were excited for him, then they found out you were a soc

dally told him to break up with you without even knowing you, johnny told him to give you a chance

when johnny invited you to the curtis house to meet his friends, you brought presents for all of them since you wanted to make a good impression

you had your ways about finding what they like and don’t like

they immediately took a liking to you when you gave them presents and a kiss on johnnys cheek

you’d patch him up and give him bandaids to take home after getting beat up by socs or his parents

sometimes you’d give him money and he would use that money to get you something you’ve been wanting for a while

he’s always so thankful for everything you do for him and everything you give him

since your parents don’t really care about the differences between greasers and socs, they let johnny stay over since they know things are rough at home

sometimes they’ll take you and him out for dinner with them and you think it’s so cute

he was nervous your parents wouldn’t like him since most of the socs parents would think he’s gross

he’s always proud of you for naturally getting good grades and seeing the smile on your face when you get your report card

sometimes when he’s upset you two will cuddle in your bed or you’ll drive him to a restaurant or fast food place

he always feels bad about spending your money but you tell him not to feel bad about it since you have more

DARRY CURTIS

things got more financially stable when you came into his life

you’d help him pay groceries and the bills if he was struggling, you also helped around the house

sometimes he’ll wake up to the smell of bacon, waffles, eggs, etc and suddenly its like he doesn’t have to be the responsible one 24/7

having you in his life has improved everything, and his brothers are so thankful to have you there too

you’re like a mother to them and they’re comfortable enough to open up to you

sometimes you’ll ask him out on cute little dates randomly just so he can get a break of hard work

he’ll take the day off and get all dressed up since you told him you were taking him to a really fancy restaurant

occasionally you’ll get your nails done just for your dates and he always notices

you’ll ask him “which color is better” and he’ll say “aren’t they the same?” then you have to explain to him that one is darker than the other

he still doesn’t see the difference but chooses one anyway since he likes to see you happy

he’s literally so in love with you and how you’ll do romantic and domestic things for him

you’re so beautiful and perfect in his eyes, and sometimes he’ll stare at you and his brothers will tease him

he really loves being around you and having you by his side

you also helped him become calmer, that pony and soda have their own problems and darry yelling at them probably just makes them scared

he starts to actually communicate with them and you’ll give him gifts for completing or succeeding because why not

he’s always like “hon, you didn’t have to get me this…” but you can see he’s happy with whatever you give him

he just loves you so much and his brothers love you too but obviously not romantically

SODAPOP CURTIS

people actually think the both of you are socs, i mean they’re half right

they think soda is a soc since he’s so handsome and think you’re a soc because of your mannerisms and how you’re very beautiful

you’ll always visit him at the DX just to hang out with him

your parents love him and how he treats you so they also let him stay over at your house

sometimes when it’s sodas turn to get groceries from the store, you’ll go along with him

he just wants to be around you whenever he can

you’ll offer to pay for the groceries plus stuff he doesn’t need but instead wants

once he got a pimple and he freaked the fuck out

you bought him some cleanser, moisturizer, sunscreen and pimple patches

you taught him how to use them and when, and in which order to use them in

his pimple went away in a few days

since you’re so smart and get good grades, you’ll help pony with his homework sometimes

soda will stare at you helping him from far away, he thinks it’s adorable that you two are bonding

when the two of you are in your room, you’ll play frank sinatra and the little dippers while having a home-date with sweets :3

you two have so much fun and he even opens up to you about his problems

you offer to get him a therapist but he says it’s that bad, you tell him to talk to you if he wants to talk about it again

he legit treats you like a princess and you love it

yall are the most attractive couple EVER no one can tell if they wanna be you or be with you

DALLAS WINSTON

when he realized he liked you he knew he had to protect you with his life

he needed a break from loud and annoying girls, then he found you

you could get quiet at times and you weren’t constantly screaming and acting like an annoying 12 year old boy

you got him to steal less since you could pay for things on your own

he didn’t really listen and still stole money from other people so he could get you things

whenever he got put in prison you could always bail him out due to the money you have

if he had to serve time then you’d give him money so he could spend it and get necessities

you’ll also make diy crafts for him on your guys anniversary and his birthday

he brings you to meetups with the gang, and they love you being there with him

you spoil him rotten and he loves it

makes him feel like a princess, weirdly enough

he’ll steal money to spoil you too, pays for your nails sometimes

you told him you wanted specific flowers once and he got you flowers sometime the next week, he acted nonchalant about it but he loved the happy look on your face

TWO-BIT MATTHEWS

sometimes you’re quiet but he always finds a way to bring you to tears after laughing so hard

he’s literally the funniest person you’ve ever met

he never really expected a soc to get so loud since they were normally reserved and didn’t talk to many people

anyway you brought him to fucking disneyland once and he LOVED it

you booked a hotel and everything so yall saw mickey mouse

two-bit kinda laughed at him but he seemed happy so he didn’t care

he loves traveling with you and brags about it to the gang all the time

they say it’s cool then act like they don’t care but they’re kinda jealous he gets all that stuff

they’re happy for him though

sometimes you’ll get him little mickey figurines and he’ll put them on his nightstand, sometimes even carry it with him if it’s a keychain

he never would’ve expected a soc to be so nice to someone like him

he’s really glad that you love him and you show it

STEVE RANDLE

before you two started dating he tried to avoid you at all costs

he kinda thought you’d beat up him and his friends so he just stayed away from you

anyway when you guys started dating you’d drive him to the DX

you’d give him tips just for fun even if you didn’t buy anything from him

you’d buy him all sorts of little trinkets and such just so he’d have something to mess around with

i don’t have a lot of knowledge on him bro pls bear with me LMAO

he’s almost always with soda so you kind of became his best friend naturally

you’ll buy steve food on his breaks and drive him to restaurants or fast food places and you’ll eat on a bench or in a field together

you talk about some shit that happened at work while he listens

he’ll occasionally get you some food since he knows you like sweets

then you repay him with something he’s wanted for a while that he’s been asking for

whether it’s a book or food or a trinket idk

he loves you so much and is glad soda gets along with you so well

sorry this one’s shorter! i’ll try to make the preference longer next time. i’m gonna try to post at least twice per week but if im feeling good ill try to post more 💗 thank you for reading!

word count: 1.1k

warnings: cussing

PONYBOY CURTIS

pony likes someone who can both yap and listen, he enjoys hearing you talk about things and how you get excited and smile, but he also loves talking to you and ranting, he appreciates someone who can listen to when he gets really excited over small things or in general

one of the first things he looks for in a person is their intelligence, if one is smarter than the other then he wouldn’t want to feel stupid or you to feel bad that you’re not as smart as him

he prefers studying together if the both of you are at the same level and classes in school

that way the two of you can have in depth conversations that he can’t have with others because they don’t know as much as he does

JOHNNY CADE

he always felt like he needed emotional support so if you can provide that for him, he’s all over you

along with someone who shows affection in public and isn’t ashamed, whether it’s complimenting him, hugging him or giving him gifts

johnny extremely values people who are loyal to him, someone who won’t leave at the first sense of danger or sadness, instead tries to work out the problem and continue communicating

he gets nervous when confrontation is involved, but communicating lets him know you care and love him, because if you didn’t care, you wouldn’t talk to him about whatever’s bothering you

johnny loves someone who is respectful of boundaries, he never really knew how to make his own because he never had them in the first place, his parents didn’t care enough to restrict him from doing anything

so if you notice he’s uncomfortable with something you’re or someone else is doing, you’ll stop or tell them to stop and he’ll love you even more

SODAPOP CURTIS

soda likes people who are good listeners and pick up on little details, like an observer

he just wants people to realize that he has problems too and wants to be listened to, someone who will check up on him randomly or if he looks sad

if you’re a naturally encouraging and grateful person, basically a bubbly happy person, then you have a huge chance that he’ll like you

he tries to be around people who make life a lot easier and happier, someone who gives him something to look forward to the next day and a reason to keep living

soda isn’t that picky about his type and values personality way more than looks

he loves someone who is upbeat, he doesn’t care if someone gets annoyed because he loves being around you

DARRY CURTIS

darry loves someone who is very patient, he can get very occupied sometimes because of work and basically raising his brothers, so it’s very time consuming and he’d love it if his partner is patient

also if you help him out with pony and soda, like buying groceries or making them food or simply taking them places, although he’ll feel bad that he’s not doing the work, he’ll appreciate whatever you do for him or his siblings

he likes it if you cherish the time you and him have together because it’s so little, so quality time is very important to him

whenever the two of you have time, the both of you will try to work something out that the both of you like, so if you’re good at compromising then he likes that

that way the two of you can do what you want but together

DALLAS WINSTON

he really appreciates someone who can stand up for themselves, basically an assertive person who isn’t afraid to express what they want and stuff

dally makes a lot of mistakes so he wants someone who is forgiving, he can get frustrated though if you don’t forgive him immediately

but he hates apologizing first and sees it as a weakness, he learns his lesson after you don’t talk to him for a few days, he struggles to say sorry but he gets it across

if you’re brutally honest like him, he will fucking love you, the two of you might disagree on things but you hardly ever lie to each other

if you say something like, “that was a bit rude, dal, not his fault that you didn’t like the milkshake.” so he’ll sigh and roll his eyes, apologizing to you and saying he’ll try not to do it again

he obviously does it again but tries not to do that type of stuff around you, he doesn’t want you to be upset at him or with yourself for not doing anything

TWO-BIT MATTHEWS

keith loves someone who has the same sense of humor as him, if he tells a joke or insults someone and you come up with something funnier or more insulting, he’s head over heels

another thing he really loves is someone who’s good with kids, like they get along and can take care of kids

especially if the kids go out of their way to see you and they can tell you have a good heart, he loves that

same goes with animals, like they have a sense of intuition whether or not some is a safe person to be around, so if animals go to you then they feel safe

STEVE RANDLE

he likes someone who is respectful of others, specifically boundaries and is very careful not to cross them

also someone who sees the good and bad side of everything, if you try to see others perspectives then he’ll really appreciate it

that way he knows you’re caring of not only yourself and your friends, but people you don’t know either

he loves it if someone is protective of him but not to the point where he can’t do anything on his own, he can handle himself very well and you both know that, but if you’re protective then he knows you’d do a lot to keep him safe

authors note: pretty sure i have three full days left of school. i’m excited to write more yayyy!! sorry if you requested something and i haven’t answered it yet, i answer in order of who requested first. sorry this took a while!!

Hey! Could you do something about the greasers going to a fair or some kind of event and there’s a kissing booth where reader works? Thanks!

the gang with reader in a kissing situation (request)

authors note: the heading might be misleading but basically, this post is about the gang and reader going to a fair or them going to a kissing booth where reader works or new year’s eve where the greasers and reader kiss. something like that! sorry if this doesn’t really go with what you asked for, i hope you enjoy though! i’m literally so FUCKING pissed because i just had to write dally’s section and nothing saved!! it’s probably gonna be obvious which ones didn’t save and which ones didn’t, i kinda rushed this once i figured out not all of this saved. enjoy though💗

PONYBOY CURTIS

you and ponyboy were at school, sitting in your homeroom together, talking before the teacher loudly said, “class!! as you may have heard, you are going to be paired up with someone in the class, you are to take care of an egg together for a week. the condition of your egg will determine what your final grade will be. take care of the egg like it is your child, if you break it, you will automatically be failed. i have twelve eggs in this carton and will be putting your initials on the bottom of it to make sure no one replaces their egg. and i have decorations here,” she held up a bag, “you and your partner can decorate the egg however you want, which… unfortunately, includes drawing eyes or whatever on it, no inappropriate stuff.”

ponyboy leaned closer to you, whispering into your ear, “i hope we’re paired up, we can’t choose though…” and you nodded, whispering back, “yeah, i think any of the other boys would break the egg…” you heard your boyfriend giggle, a smile forming on your face

the teacher taped a big piece of paper to the whiteboard, stating, “your names are paired together on the paper. go to your partner and decide what the egg’s name will be and how you will decorate it.” then she walked back to her desk, all of the students erupting, words spilling out of their mouths

you looked for your name, seeing it was next to ponyboy’s, reading “y/n and ponyboy”

you tapped your boyfriend’s shoulder, telling him the two of you were together for the project

he gasped, exclaiming, “oh cool, we’re together!! let’s go get our egg from mrs. johnson!!” he sat up from his chair and grabbed your hand, gently dragging you to the front of the classroom

the teacher looked up at the both of you, grabbing an egg from the carton, writing a ‘PC’ and your initials on the bottom of the egg

you let out a “thank you!” and walked back to your desk, taking multiple colored sharpies out of your backpack and showing ponyboy, asking him “what color should the eyes be?”

he thought for a moment and decided, “your eye color! then maybe the hair can be brown-ish red, like mine?”

nodding, you drew eyes on the egg, along with a smile underneath them

you and ponyboy talked about the project and how you would plan out days for when the egg would be with him, and when the egg would be with you

he picked up a brown sharpie and a red sharpie, drawing hair on the top of the egg

“wait, what should the egg’s name be?” your boyfriend asked, you looked at the egg and tilted your head slightly, awkwardly asking, “uhhh… michael…? i don’t know…” you giggled

ponyboy smiled at you and agreed, replying, “yeah, i like that name. i honestly want to name my kid michael— i mean, when i have kids, that is.” he laughed

the day passed by quickly, ponyboy took the egg for the school day and the two of you went to your house after

his backpack was on his back, michael in his hands

when the two of you reached your house, you crocheted a little blanket for the egg, making it harder for it to crack and break

you placed michael in the blanket, putting him on your desk

after a few hours of studying and hanging out, ponyboy left your house, the egg still on your desk

the two of you would switch off having michael each day, and by next monday, the two of you were in homeroom again, with michael in your hands

you looked around, some of the pairs had no egg, some had eggs with cracks, one of them breaking on the table, and one other pair had a perfect egg, just like michael

“hey, i think we’re one of the two pairs that have our egg still intact!!” you beamed

he smiled, looking around the classroom and agreed, “holy shit, we’re amazing!!”

the teacher began walking to each pairs’ desks, she reached yours and was holding a clipboard

she picked up your egg and examined michael, checking if there were any cracks and if the initials were how she had written them

“good job, you two. a hundred percent! you might actually be decent parents one day.” she said, giving an approving smile and moving to the next desk behind you

you turned to ponyboy, seeing him already looking towards you, both of you smiling at each other

“we got an A!!! we did amazing, pony!!!” you exclaimed, he agreed and commented, “we might be the only people who got really good grades!!”

before the end of the school day, mrs. johnson pulled you and ponyboy aside in the hallway

“i just want you two to know that you are the only ones who got perfect scores. for getting perfect scores, you will get extra credit. i’ve noticed both of you, and i know you’re a couple. it’s not a bad thing, but if the other teachers see you kissing or showing too much affection, you might just get in trouble. but anyways, you’re free to go. good job, you two.” she said

you started blushing, both of you thanked the teacher and walked away towards your house

the two of you continued to talk about when you could hang out next, also about the project and how darry and soda would love to see you again

the two of you arrived at your house a few minutes later, you unlocked the door with your keys and opened the door

you and ponyboy walked upstairs to your room and sat on the bed, dropping your backpacks on the floor, you hesitantly asked, “do you think we’d really make good parents, or was she just saying that..?”

“i’m sure we’d be great parents. eggs crack easily, that means we were very gentle, so it’s good! don’t worry about it.” he smiled at you

you looked at him with a loving look in your eyes, putting your hands on his chest and leaning in for a kiss

the kiss was savored, different from how the two of you had kissed before, this was more intimate, more loving

when both of you pulled away from the kiss, ponyboy pulled out a book from his backpack and began to read to you, you had seemed tired the whole day

he was laying on your bed and you were curled up into him, becoming more exhausted by the second

when you fell asleep and he looked at you, you looked peaceful

he put his bookmark in his book, giving you a kiss on the forehead and wrapping his arms around you

JOHNNY CADE

your boyfriend was bored and laying in his bed at home, twisting and turning, not knowing what to do

he sat up when he decided what he would do, remembering you were at a market nearby, trying to promote a small business

so he got up from his bed and changed from his sleep clothes to jeans, a black shirt and a denim jacket

he quietly walked and closed his bedroom door, trying to be spared from a confrontation from his parents

he walked to the front door, looking around before grabbing his shoes and slipping them on, tying the shoelaces

opening the door and walking out, he turned around and gently grabbed the doorknob, twisting it and quietly closing the door

he walked towards the direction of the market, only a few blocks away

when johnny arrived at the market, many vendors were there, food, clothing, other products, animals, etc

he went there to see you, you worked at a kissing booth, and he knew you would make a lot of money because you were known to be very beautiful

he walked down the isle, looking around to see if you were anywhere near or if you would like anything from the vendors

after walking for a while, he saw your booth with around three people in line, most of them came hours ago

you were about to close up the booth soon, so one of the boys in line gave you two dollars, plus a six dollar tip, you quickly gave him a kiss, being tired and just wanting to see your boyfriend again

you repeated the process two more times when the last one walked away with a “thanks,” johnny being right behind the man

“hey, think i could get two kisses? i’m feeling kind of… lonely…” he looked at you with a playful smile, he was still nervous although the two of you were boyfriend and girlfriend

“four dollars,” you said and looked up at him, “i’m just kidding, johnny…” you walked around the stand and put your hands on his face, leaning in for a kiss

he awkwardly and nervously placed his hands on your waist, wrapping them around your midsection

after the two of you pulled away from the kiss, you looked up at him, seeing his face turn into a shade of red, he avoided eye contact

you teasingly kissed his cheek, then placed a few onto his neck, you pulled away and asked him, “you ready to go home now, baby?”

he nodded and asked you, “so, how was your day??” before telling you about his

SODAPOP CURTIS

the two of you were at the fair, wanting to spend some time together for your first new years as a couple

you and soda previously went on many rides and rollercoasters, having fun and giggling the whole time, screaming random things while other people stared at you

after another rollercoaster ride, your boyfriend wrapped an arm around your shoulder, asking, “hey, babe, wanna go to the ferris wheel? i wanted to go there with you before the end of the day, then maybe we can get some food?” looking at you intently

you smiled at him, replying, “sure soda! we can go, i was gonna ask you that too!! i think the ferris wheel is over there.” pointing in front of the two of you

he took his arm off your shoulder and grabbed your hand in a loving gesture

“i hope this doesn’t take too long, i don’t want darry to get mad at me or anything. but if we’re here past 12, then it’s worth it. i’d be with you, anyway.” smiling and winking at you at the end

you giggled at his comment and continued, “oh, shut up… you’re too sweet, soda…” smiling and looking up at him, kissing his cheek softly

the two of you got to the line where the ferris wheel was, and your boyfriend muttered, “oh, boy…”

you and soda waited for around ten minutes before getting to the front of the line

one of the workers scanned your wristband, letting you go inside one of the capsules, your boyfriend right behind you

you sat on the right side of the capsule and your boyfriend sat on the left, both of you continuing to talk about drama that happened in your school and in the DX

the ferris wheel started to move, people got off the capsules and people got on, creating a new rotation of people to be on the ferris wheel at the same time

the cycle repeated until no one from the last rotation was on the ferris wheel, and it began to move in a circular motion with no pauses

“yayyy!! i always love being on here, you can see so much from up here!!” you rejoiced, soda agreed and commented on what you had said

after a few rotations of spinning around, the conductor began to let people off of the ferris wheel

eventually, your capsule was at the top, and you told soda, “thank you for asking me to go here with you. i’ve really enjoyed it, i’m happy i get to spend new years with you.” looking at him sweetly

the two of you heard people counting down from ten, both of you looked at each other, thinking the same thing

“five, four, three, two,” people cheered, and when they said ‘one,’ your boyfriend said, “i love you so much.” both of you leaned over to each other and kissed

your hand was on his cheek, his hand was on your other hand in your lap

once the two of you pulled away from the kiss, you opened your eyes and saw his expression, remembering what ponyboy said, “he’s always talking about you, y/n. getting drunk on just plain living, but it’s even better when he’s with you. everyone can tell. he loves you.”

the ferris wheel began to rotate, and eventually, both of you got off of the capsule, hand in hand

the rides were closing so the two of you walked towards the parking lot where your car was

“you know, it was my plan to have that happen. i was worried we wouldn’t be at the top at that specific moment.” soda confessed, chuckling at the end

“aww, you’re so romantic, hon!! i love you so much… thanks for spending new years with me…” you said, blushing at his words

he replied, “i love you too baby…” knowing he was the luckiest guy on earth to have someone like you

DARRY CURTIS

you were in your house when you got a call, you picked up the phone from your couch and asked, “y/n l/n, what do you need?”

a voice from the other side stated, “hey y/n, it’s ponyboy. i was wondering if you could come over to help me with homework? it’s due tomorrow and darry’s gone…”

you replied with, “i’ll be there in five, don’t worry.” and hung up, grabbing your keys and putting on your shoes, walking outside to your car, turning the keys, causing your car to start

you drove in the direction of darry’s house, knowing the way all too well

when you arrived, you walked into the house, the door being unlocked, and saw your boyfriends youngest brother in the kitchen, sitting at the dinner table with a packet and pencil

he looked up from his work and smiled, you walked over to him and looked at the packet, asking him if he knew the formula for the question he was struggling on

you corrected him and taught him all the correct formulas and ways to solve the problems, before you two knew it, he was done with the packet

then you two heard the door open, you looked over to see darry smiling at the two of you

he took off his shoes and gently closed the door, walked towards you and his brother, he asked, “hey you two. pony, how was school? and as much as i love your company, y/n, what are you doing here?” kissing your forehead and ruffling his brothers hair, chuckling

“ah, school was okay. your girl’s here because i asked her to come over to help me with my homework. i got it done, since you always talk about how she’s really smart, i doubt you have to check my answers” ponyboy replied

darry smiled at him and looked at the clock, frowning and stating, “shit, pony, it’s late— you ought to be in bed right now, pack up your backpack, go sleep.”

his brother got up from his chair, thanked, “thank you y/n. you’re really smart.” and left to go to his room, he closed the door as quick as he had opened it

you hardly got any time to say anything, but as soon as darry heard the door close, his lips were on yours and your hands were on his chest

the kiss was long and passionate, when the two of you pulled away, he had a look in his eyes

you lightly punched his shoulder and commented, “your brother needs to sleep, dare.”

he chuckled at what you said and gave you a kiss on the cheek

DALLAS WINSTON

you were upstairs in your boyfriends room, he was partying downstairs and had a few drinks

“wh-wheres my girlfriend, man…” he kept mumbling, asking people around him where you were

“jesus christ, dally, she’s upstairs.” buck finally answered, dally still being confused, asking where the stairs were

buck pointed to where the stairs were and your boyfriend walked past many people, slouching and just wanting to see you

he cracked open the door to see you on his bed, he had a worried look on his face

“awwwh, hi dal… you okay, baby?” you talked softly getting up off the bed and opening the door, inviting him to come in

he consciously walked into the bedroom, looking around before setting his gaze on you

you gently took his hand in yours and sat him on the bed, he still had that pouty look on his face, almost puppy eyes looking at you

“you okay, dal? do you want anything, you feeling okay…?” you whispered to him, however he didn’t respond

he just leaned into a kiss, wrapping his arms around your midsection and kissing your cheeks down to your neck, to your collarbone and trying to go lower

“aww, baby… i don’t think we should, don’t want you to do something you’ll regret, okay?” you suggested

he started whining and complaining, kicking his feet like a child, something dally would never do if he was sober, you couldn’t wait to tell him about that in the morning

you laid down on the bed and he laid down next to you, his head near your chest, a pouty look still on his face

you didn’t know how to make him look happier, so you leaned down a bit and put your hand on his cheek, giving him a long and passionate kiss, feeling him trying to get closer to you, leaning more into the kiss if that was even possible

when you pulled away from the kiss, he was smiling and looked at you lovingly, he wrapped an arm around you and a leg around yours, mumbling an, “i love you…” before drifting off to sleep

you smiled at him, this was the only time he actually looked peaceful, when he was asleep

you protectively put an arm around him and put your chin above his head, drifting off to sleep too

TWO-BIT MATTHEWS

you and keith were at your house, you were baking in your kitchen when your boyfriend asked, “hey, um, wanna go to this comedy thing with me at a restaurant today? i think it’d be fun, you don’t gotta go if you don’t wanna though.” looking a bit nervous

you looked at him for a few seconds before excitedly agreeing, “sure!!!” you’re ent back to measuring ingredients for brownies and mixed them

two-bit measured the dry ingredients and poured them into the dry mix, mixing them together and pouring it into a square pan

you had previously set the temperature to 350 fahrenheit, so you put on kitchen mittens and grabbed the pan, pushing it into the oven

you put the timer for twenty five minutes for the brownies to bake, and in the meantime, you and keith talked about his sister

after the timer went off, you turned off the alarm and lowered the oven temperature, opening the oven and taking out the pan after putting on your kitchen mittens

“the show’s in around an hour, should probably get dressed so we can leave soon. it’ll take about twenty minutes to drive there.” your boyfriend commented, you nodded and gave him a kiss before walking up to your bedroom

after you looked through your wardrobe and picked out an outfit, you walked to your bathroom to brush your teeth and fix your hair

you then walked downstairs and stated, “i’m ready!!” to see keith on the couch, waiting for you

he looked up and saw you, his jaw dropped and gasped, “jesus… you look stunning…” and chuckled

you giggled and walked over to him, grabbing his hand after you grabbed your wallet

you walked outside to your car, locking your house door and getting inside the car

the two of you buckled your seatbelts and steve turned on the radio, elvis was playing

you arrived at the restaurant around thirty minutes later due to traffic and raced to the entrance

the worker at the cashier greeted you, “hello, do you two have a reservation?”

“uh, yeah, we have a reservation for keith. two people.” your boyfriend replied

the worker told you to take a seat wherever, but it was difficult to find space, the restaurant was packed

the both of you walked around and eventually sat down at a booth on opposite sides, looking at the menu while talking about the setup

after you two decided what you were getting, a waitress came over and exclaimed, “hello, my name is sarah and i’ll be your waitress for today! what can i get started for you?” and wrote down on her notepad while keith ordered, then you ordered

“alright, i’ll be back in around thirty minutes with your meals!” she replied

the two of you continued with your conversation and had your drinks, around ten minutes without food, the comedian came out and thanked everyone for being at the restaurant

he started telling jokes, you and keith would look at each other whenever something was funny

you knew he really liked that comedian, so you were joyful to see him enjoying this

around twenty minutes later, the comedian was still talking and sarah came to the table with your food, quietly stating, “enjoy, you two!”

you thanked her and began gnawing on your food, nearly starving, two-bit almost spat out his food due to laughing, almost making you choke

around an hour after being at the restaurant, the comedian thanked everyone for being there, once again, and left

you and two-bit were finished with your food, sarah came by with the check and you pulled out your wallet, giving her a twenty dollar tip plus what you were supposed to pay

“alright, ready keith?” you asked, smiling at him, he nodded, feeling sleepy because he was stuffed with food

the two of you walked out of the restaurant hand in hand all the way to the car

you sat in the drivers seat and put the keys in, twisting it and turning the car on, keith in the passengers seat

both of you talked about how funny the comedian was and how you’d love to go again with him sometime while you were driving to your boyfriends house

when you arrived at his house, you walked him up to the entrance, pausing and looking at him for a couple seconds

“thank you for asking me to go with you, keith. i really love spending time with you…” you smiled, blushing at the thought of the two of you in the romantic situation

he smiled and looked away, a little nervous, then you pulled him in for a kiss and put your hands on his shoulders, his hands on your hips

when you pulled away, you smiled at him and walked back to your car

he watched you pull out of the parking space, waving at you before you fully left

he thought about how much he enjoyed being with you, he loved you so much and wanted to spend more time with you

STEVE RANDLE

you and steve were walking to a field where you would watch a firework show, it was the fourth of july and he wanted to celebrate

“yeah, this crazy lady came into the DX and was like ‘i deserve all this money because i’ve been in america for 15 years!!’ and me and soda looked at each other, because why the fuck would anyone think that…” he said, genuinely confused

“maybe she had a mental problem..” you shrugged

steve loved how you would always try to see the good in people, or maybe a reason why they act like why they do, a reason to think someone’s a good person

anyway, the two of you arrived at the field and saw hundreds of people, some sitting on blankets and some sitting on the grass, some laying down and some standing up

after walking around, the two of you saw an empty space, you placed your blanket onto the ground and sat down next to your boyfriend

the two of you were talking when the first firework exploded after ten minutes of nothing, people clapping and saying ‘america’ ‘USA’ ‘i’m gonna shit my pants that looks so cool’

after forty minutes of many fireworks and loud noises, there was a loud voice coming from a speaker, saying, “alright, this is our final firework folks! we hope you have a great rest of your night! happy fourth of july!”

multiple red, white and blue fireworks shot up into the air with loud ‘boom’s, many people ‘ooo’ing and ‘woahhh’ing

you looked to your left to see steve staring up at the fireworks, believing he felt at peace for the first time in a long time

he noticed you staring and smirked, looking at your eyes then your lips, putting his hand on your cheek and giving you a kiss

you kissed him back, and when the two of you pulled away, you put your head in his shoulder

the fireworks were still going, and steve said, “i love you, y/n.”

you replied quietly, “i love you too, stevie.” knowing his friends made fun of him for that nickname, he chuckled at it

PONYBOY CURTIS

when pony was in eighth grade and you were in fifth, the two of you went to the same school

he always knew you were smart, like him, but made irrational and stupid decisions

sometimes you rushed through things, you were stubborn and hardly showed emotion to anyone

the two of you started hanging out, and he invited you to be with the gang when you became older, in sixth grade

you were known to get good grades, no one knew how you did it and everyone suspected you were cheating

you were. you stole, lied, smoked, dated, fought, etc

pony knew this, him and his brothers would always manage to get you out of trouble since you were young and didn’t have good parental figures

until you got into a fight with a soc in your class, who bullied you relentlessly

you broke her femur and the police were called, and you weirdly enough and unreasonably were let go

you walked to pony’s house since you stayed there, you knew your parents didn’t give a shit about whether you were with them or not

pony and his brothers greeted you, you gave them a quiet “hello” and walked to the bathroom

they realized something must’ve been wrong since you were normally energetic, but you were quiet

as soon as you closed the door to the bathroom, you started bawling

you wondered why you hurt that girl, why you did all the bad things you did, how you were sorry, and how all you wanted was for someone to care for you enough to discipline you

pony heard your cries and knocked on the door, asking “hey, y/n..? i know you’re probably not doing the best right now but can we talk? i think you really should—”

you opened the door, just for pony to see your face red and your shaking body, struggling to make eye contact

he slightly crouched down to your level, saying “hey.. how about we go to my room so we get privacy and maybe we can talk about what’s happening? okay?”

you nodded and walked with him to his room, closing the door behind you

you sat on his bed and he sat next to you, he asked you what’s going on since you never cry and always seem fine

you answered with, “i-i don’t know what’s wrong with me and why i’m so fucked up.. i’ve done terrible things and i don’t know why im just realizing it now— i broke that girls damn arm, that’s too far. she-she hardly even did anything..” and pony listened the whole time

he told you “you’re not a bad person for doing those things, and everyone makes mistakes, it’s fine. you’re a kid, still learning, hell, i’m still learning. you can’t take back what you did, but you can always do better in the future..” he hugged you but you were still crying

he soothingly rubbed your back and grabbed your favorite book, that he bought so he could read to you

you lay down on his bed, still sniffling and zoned out

he lay on the bed and started reading to you

he saw your eyes fluttering and closing, causing you to fall asleep

he then realized you were going through much more than anyone knew, more than anyone should go through, especially at your age

he looked at you, fast asleep with tear marks on your cheeks

JOHNNY CADE

he knew you as the young one in the gang, who was undoubtedly the most reckless one

you fought, smoked, drank, etc

you were loud, could sometimes get annoying, and the most stubborn person he has ever met

and one day your fighting went too far, to the point of being hospitalized

some random kid started swinging at you, so you swung back and one of his friends fucking shot you

a car passed by and took you in, driving you to the nearest hospital

after the surgery, you no longer had a bullet in your chest, which was dangerously near your heart

you were lucky to survive, but you didn’t think that

the gang came to visit you, johnny was the first one

he came into your room, hearing sniffles and gasps of air, you were having a panic attack

he didn’t even know you had those, so he walked in and calmed you down

talking to you softly and comforting words helped you ground yourself

but you were still sniffling, tears still streaming down your face, saying, “i always wanted to die, johnny. i didn’t wanna live anymore, there was no point, why do i have hope now?”

johnny knew how you felt, but didn’t say it

he knew deep down that you would be able to deal with it, and tomorrow you would act like nothing had happened

but he just sat down on your bed, and you talked to each other about the others problems

he said people would mourn your death, and you’re too young to leave

you understood and said you didn’t want to talk about it anymore, so he went to the store and got you some candy and a get better card

SODAPOP CURTIS

since you were always an energetic child, people never thought you had any problems

you were sitting on a bench once, near the lot

you hoped no one would see you, you were out in the open since you didn’t know where to go

none of the curtis brothers were home and your parents didn’t care enough to let you in the house

you didn’t know why you were crying, you just were and you didn’t have a reason for it

you just couldn’t identify why you were feeling how you were feeling

staring at the grass, you mumbled “stop crying,” put your head in your hands, and again, mumbled, “stop crying..”

your leg was bouncing since you were anxious, didn’t want anyone to notice you were crying

soda was walking home since he decided not to drive to work today, then he saw you on the bench with your head in your hands

“y/n?” he asked you, you looked up and he asked what you were doing there

sitting on the bench next to you, he asked if you were okay, and you broke down even more

“i just don’t know what’s wrong with me. i always act like everything’s fine and that i don’t feel things but i really do. i’m sensitive and i care but i act like i don’t— i feel so terrible but i don’t know why, and… i don’t know…”

soda listened the whole time, and he knew how you felt, but tried to comfort you

you kept sniffling and whimpering, could hardly breathe and didn’t look at him in the eyes

he gave you advice, telling you it’s okay to not know why you’re upset, and you might be extra sensitive since you didn’t know why

you agreed with him, and it was silent

he asked if you wanted to walk home with him so you could stay the night, and you said yes

as the two of you were walking to his house, he patted you on the back and said, “you’re a damn good kid. and you might not believe it, but you have a good heart.”

you appreciated what he said, so you looked up and smiled at him

DARRY CURTIS

he knew you would get in trouble a lot, you were always energetic and chaotic

one day he got called into the police station, saying you were gonna have to stay there until someone picks you up, so you gave them darry’s number

you were in your own cell since you were a child, but an officer was near to keep you safe

darry drove over to the police station, you were put into a room with a table in the middle, like a questioning room

your hands weren’t cuffed to the table, the officers wanted you to have a free range so you can feel safe

when he arrived, the officers brought him into the room, where you had your head in your hands, red face, sniffling, and tear marks on your face

he sat down across from you, however you didn’t say a word to him

you kept looking down at the table and your sniffling continued

“i know you’re going through a lot right now, but you can’t go around stealing shit from people. i’m close to being done with your attitude, and you need to act more mature. i’m being hard on you because i care, and i know you may not see that.” he said

you listened, apologized quietly and nodded your head

the police officer in the room said to go home and to not get in any more trouble

the car ride home was awkward, you were still sniffling but stopped crying

when he drove you to his house, since you stayed there sometimes, and when the two of you got out of the car and walked into the house, no words were exchanged

but he wrapped his arms around you into an embrace, and patted your back, motioning you to go to the room you slept in

DALLAS WINSTON

dally knew you and saw you kind of as himself

so he protected you as well as he could, he knew he needed someone to act as a parental figure when he was younger

he acted like he didn’t give a shit about you, but he cared about you the a lot

he knew you were tough but he also knew he was going through shit at your age, so you probably were too

and when he saw you in his room, above bucks bar, crying and snot dripping down your fucking face, you trying to wipe it off with tissues, he knew something bad must’ve happened

he rushed over to you, you were on his bed, and he asked you why you were there and what happened

you could tell there was genuine concern in his eyes, he went down to eye level so you could really see him

you told him “i get so angry all the time and it’s making me feel like a bad person. i don’t know why im just realizing now, this is why no one wants to be around me, i always ruin every relationship i make—“

he interrupted you and said, “hey, hey, you’re not a bad person.. it’s fine to get angry sometimes, it’s just an emotion, everyone gets angry sometimes, but you need to be careful since you could get in trouble while doing those so-called bad things.”

he kept eye contact with you the whole time, trying to make sure you understood

after you were quiet for a bit and stopped crying, he asked you, “you wanna go to dairy queen..? huh?” and smiled, patted your knee

you looked up at him slightly and smiled back, nodding

the two of you walked out to buck’s car, and he drove you to dairy queen

he got you whatever you wanted :)

TWO-BIT MATTHEWS

you and two-bit were walking down the street, just taking shit from people while having a conversation with each other

and while you were trying to to take a wallet out of someone’s purse

she caught you and grabbed your wrist, her daughter staring at you

the mother started screaming at you, “you brat! why the hell do you think you’re entitled to my money, huh? are you that desperate, you dumb—“ all while her daughter was looking at her mother in fear

two-bit talked to her calmly but somewhat angrily, “you don’t know shit. first off, you’re not making a good example for your daughter. and second, you don’t yell at a fucking kid. you still have your wallet and your damn life, which you’re lucky to still have. this kid doesn’t know fucking know any better..”

he looked back to see you storming away, speed walking on the streets

he ran from the mother and daughter to catch up to you, seeing you wiping your eyes since you were crying

he told you not to listen to the mother, she didn’t know anything and you were in some ways more mature than an adult like her

you didn’t respond, so he told jokes

most of it was pointing out socs on the streets that looked like crap or were doing weird things

you giggled at some of them, to the point where your eyes were still red and you were sniffling, but you were feeling better

STEVE RANDLE

steve didn’t always have it the best at home, and neither did you

the two of you bonded over it, talking about funny or sad or weird experiences that happened in your homes

and one day you were talking a lot, as you always did since you were talkative and energetic

your mother had yelled at you, with hate and anger towards you, just for being yourself

calling you useless and annoying, talking about how pathetic and stupid, how selfish you were, etc

you didn’t talk back since it wouldn’t change her mind, it wouldn’t take back what she said

you stared at her with no emotion ,then walked out like nothing happened

you were walking to the DX since it was near the time steve would get off

halfway to the store, your lip started trembling and your throat tightened up

so you bawled for around 10 minutes, and still bawling when you arrived at the DX

steve was walking towards you and waved, you didn’t wave back but he knew you noticed him

he sped up towards you once he saw you were crying, so he asked you what was wrong, the two of you started walking back to the curtis house

you told him about your mother, how you suddenly started to feel bad about living and being how you naturally were

you wanted to change but didn’t know how

he didn’t know how to comfort you since he never was comforted by anyone in his life

he only knew to tell you that you weren’t a fuck up, and you’re the best just the way you were

you gave a weak smile to him, occasionally starting small talk at certain points on the sidewalk
