Hehehehe... I read the first two questions before hitting reblog.
1. I think Two-Bit for the funnies
2. Also Two-Bit, but maybe also Steve? Maybe Soda, maybe Soda and Steve go off together
3. If we add Socs too, I get the feeling Bob would be dramatic like this.
4. Darry.
5. Two-Bit as a joke, but maybe also Marcia? Maybe they work together.
6. Ponyboy. Ponyboy and Johnny. Ponyboy, Johnny, and Dally.
7. Ponyboy
8. Sodapop! Maybe
9. Sodapop, Two-bit and Steve. Dally would absolutely join them.
10. Ponyboy. But he'd bring Johnny with him. Darry probably would too, but he is protective of the gang so he wouldn't actually. Steve too if Ponyboy annoyed him enough, but Steve would bring Sodapop. Maybe Dally?
this but with the outsiders characters. reblog with ur answers, i wanna know what ppl think
Warmth
Made(Started + completed): August 13, 2024
Requested? No
Summary: Darry’s had a long day at work, but he melts whenever he’s in your arms. All of his stress seems to go away each time.
Contains: Fluff, Darry x Reader, no use of Y/N, Reader’s gender is unspecified
Warnings: Use of sweetheart, next-to-nothing for dialogue, short and sweet
Darry had just come home from his stressful job roofing. His back ached with soreness from the harsh physical labor. He called out an, “I’m home!” when he walked in the door. He slipped off his boots and made his way into the living room, seeing you, his lover sitting on the couch. You were absent-mindedly watching TV with a somewhat bored expression on your face - that was, until you saw the movement of him walking in from the corner of your eyes. Your gaze softened and you smiled. Darry loved seeing that smile of yours.
“Hey, sweetheart.” He greeted you, padding over to sit next to you. A weary sigh escaped him when he sat down, his shoulders heavy with stress and a dull aching pain.
A few minutes later, he reluctantly got up, stepping into the kitchen. You followed behind him, watching as he filled up a glass with water. Darry felt a pair of arms snaking around his waist and a body press against his back. He knew it was you. He melted into the embrace, leaning back against you. He placed one of his large, rough and calloused hands - hands that were rough from the physical labor of his work as a roofer - onto your forearm, gently rubbing his thumb along the skin. His shoulders relaxed in contrast to them previously being tense as he basked in the comforting warmth of your body pressed against his.
How he loved your hugs. . .
Space
Summary: Darry and Reader argue, so Reader gives Darry space, but Darry misses Reader’s presence
Contains: Darry x Reader, no use of y/n, reader’s gender is unspecified
Warnings: Mentions of arguing/fighting, Reader is called sweetheart, Reader has one specific/explicit line of dialogue, maybe one uncharacteristic line from Darry, bittersweet stuff
Prompts: “person a being mad at person b, so person b gives them some alone time. only to find person a trying to drag them back to bed bc they miss person b’s presence.” (@/keyotosprompts)
Requested? No
A/N: This has been in my drafts for a little while cuz I wasn't sure on if I should post it, enjoy :) It's short, mb
You and Darry had gotten into a bit of a disagreement, and it got a bit heated because he was already stressed and sore from work and he kind of just took out said aggression on you and the disagreement you had. Because of this, you had come to the decision to just leave Darry alone to give him time to cool off and destress, and went for a walk around town for a bit, also taking it as an excuse to run a few errands.
Once you finally came back, you set down a bag or two of groceries you had gotten while out onto the kitchen counter, and began to unpack them. The house was almost unnaturally quiet. It was the evening. Sodapop was on a date with Sandy and Ponyboy was out at the movies with some of the gang, but you weren’t sure on where Darry was.
You heard footsteps behind you and turned your head when you suddenly felt a pair of arms wrap around your waist from behind. It was Darry.
“’M sorry about earlier, sweetheart. . .” He murmured.
“I thought you wanted some space.?” You asked, pausing in your unpacking of the groceries.
“I don’t need space, I need you.” He replied, huffing out a big, tired, and heavy exhale of breath against your skin.
You had finished unpacking the groceries in a few minutes, with the help of Darry, and you were now sat down on the couch while Darry was sitting in his chair.
Your disagreement from earlier had been over something trivial; Ponyboy’s grades. Ponyboy had gotten a B- on his latest assignment in math and Darry wasn’t too proud of him. You knew that Darry was only wanting the best for Ponyboy, but he was also trying too hard to make something out of him. You had defended Ponyboy and said some version of that it was just a B- and Ponyboy has his own strengths in certain subjects and weaknesses in others, but Darry still got frustrated about it. He had hollered at Ponyboy some, and was awfully stern with you, saying, “He’s my kid brother and I can be as harsh to him as I want to!”
After the fact, it was now a bit awkward; quiet. You were kind of just waiting for Ponyboy and Sodapop to come home so you could all go to bed and relax for the night.
Within the next little while, Ponyboy and Sodapop had come home, walking through the door and chatting for a bit. Soda and Ponyboy went to their room for the night a bit after and you guys did the same. Darry was lying in bed behind you, one of his big, muscular arms draped over your waist, his body close to yours.
“I know I can be a bit harsh on Pony. I just want the best for him and I want him to do good.” Darry murmured to you out of the blue. You knew he wasn’t very emotional, and he also didn’t apologize too much, so this really was out of the blue. “Just. . . Whenever we fight, don’t assume I want to be alone after..” He let out a sigh, subconsciously holding you a little bit closer under the covers.
Trying something for The Outsiders
My apologies if there is anything that I didn't accurately show or for any characters I missed.
Hope y'all liked the ones from before because I ain't stoppin till I'm tired.
I need someone to write some Two-Bit or sodapop hurt comfort because it is scarce and while I would do it myself, my writing ain't worth much and I hardly ever finish my works.
Also while looking I noticed that not many people write about Sodapop hating Pony and Darry's arguing or how he finally snapped when that is ripe with dramatic juice.
To add onto my previous statement, I also think that we need more Darbit and Stevepop stories. I just think their cute together.
If not in a relationship, why so close in so many pictures. (This is mostly a joke. I couldn't resist)
While this is a joke may I pint out that Patrick's hand is set perfectly on Emilio's shoulder. I just thought it was cute.
I bring more
Apologies if anything is wrong with the fifth picture, I saw a horse and had an idea.
Weird idea but I might write a Outsiders/Dirty dancing oneshot.
I did it, hope you like it.
Sorry this took so long, I was sick.
― S. E. Hinton, The Outsiders.

Was watching outsiders bow I want to write for them so if y’all want some on them feel free to spam my inbox
