Imagine telling Darry you want to marry him while drunk

It was a normal Saturday night for the gang, drinking at the Curtis house after seeing a movie. Two-Bit brought out the drinks at the movie and you started drinking with him. Eventually the movie ended and you all started walking home. Darry and Pony were joking around and eventually Darry somehow got Pony on his back and at that moment you thought about how much you wanted him to marry you.

There was a loud cheer behind you and you saw Soda on Two-Bits back as they ran down the two other brothers and raced down the street.

When they caught up to Pony and Darry, Soda stated a game of chicken and not a single one of them was going to back out from that. The rest of the gang gathered around them cheering for either Pony or Soda. You laughed and Darry gave a quick glance at you before going back against Two-Bit. He pressed Soda and Two-Bit up against a fence and Soda started to lean backwards and flipped himself over the fence.

The Gang let out a chorus of cheers and you went over to check on Soda (who was completely fine).

Darry walked with you under his arm the rest of the way home, Pony and Soda walking in front of you two.

"Lovebirds." Steve said coming beside you two, "Y'all got any beer at the house?"

"Not enough for the lot of you." You reply.

"Good thing I always bring extra." Two-Bit said coming beside you two. "Try this (y/n)."

You swallow down the flask with a grimace, not only does it taste awful but it's disgusting, you pass it to Darry who takes one wiff of it and hands it back to his friend.

"Disgusting." You say, "What is that?"

"The quickest way to get drunk." Two-Bit says swallowing down another gulp.

He wasn't lying, by the time you had all gotten to the house you were very giggly and so was half the gang.

Darry kept you within arms reach but with you floating around everyone so much he just decided to sit you in his lap.

You giggled and looked at his face playing with his hair, he couldn't help but smile at your antics.

"What's so funny?" He asked after a minute of you just starring and laughing.

"You're so pretty!" You say, "Like so pretty."

Pony and Johnny laugh in the couch at you two.

"He is!" You defend. "Listen kids this is why you don't drink! Ok? Just so don't, cause then you'll look at Darrel Shaynne Curtis Jr. the whole night cause he's so so pretty."

"Babydoll." Darry says laughing, "I think you need sleep."

"No." You gasp out and then fall to his chest. "I don't think so."

Darrys hand on your waist gently rubs circles on with his thumb against your skin.

"Is Soda ok?" You ask. "And Two-Bit?"

"Yes Dear." Darry says, "Theyre trying to sleep in the kitchen right now."

You go to sit up and look at the sleepy boys in the kitchen.

"I'll get them blankets." You say getting up.

"No it's alright (y/n)," Johnny says getting up, "We can get them."

"You're so sweet Johnny." You say, "I wish we could keep you here all the time."

He blushes and hurries to the closet where the blankets are kept.

"You have the sweetest people in your life." You say to Darry, "It's hard not to love any of them."

"I know." Darry says pressing a kiss on your forehead.

"Like you're doing so good with them, Pony's so smart and the rest of the gang loves you so so much."

Darry pulls you closer to him and you ret your head under his chin.

"I really wanna marry you." You slur out, "Can we get married?"

Your glazed eyes look up at him like a dog begging for table scraps, Darry chuckled and presses a kiss to your forehead as Pony and Johnny come back in.

"Thank you so very sweet boys." You say giggling. "I am so proud of you two."

Pony and Johnny both are now sporting red faces as you continue to compliment them. Dally and Steve come in from outside and you gasp and wave at them both.

"Hi!" You gasp out, "I'm so happy you guys are here!"

"How drunk are they?" Dally asks with a grin.

"Sooooo drunk!" You say laughing, "But like I think you guys should all stay forever and we could all like out our checks into like living together and it would be so fun."

Darry presses his face into your hair and laughs quietly.

"Steve!" You say, "Darry won't answer a super important question for me."

"Dude." Says a slightly drunk Steve, "That's such a drag."

"I know!" You say.

"What's the question?" Dally asks.

"I asked," you say giggling, "if we could get hitched and he laughed!"

Dally starts laughing too and so does Steve.

"Come on," Darry says picking you up bridal style. "Time to hit the sack."

"Night night boys!" You call waving to them as Darry takes you to his room, he throws you in the bed and you giggled taking off your shoes and jeans. Darry throws you a nightgown as he takes off his jeans.

You stare and giggle, when he turns back around you've managed to get everything off just not get the nightgown on.

"You have the cutest butt!" You say laughing. "Literally my favorite butt in the whole world."

"Good," Darry says, he comes over and helps you out the nightgown on before joining you under the covers.

Darry joins you under the covers, you continue to giggle a little even as your eyes feel heavy.

"So..." You mumble out "Are you gonna answer me?" You ask.

"(y/n)," Darry says pressing a kiss to your cheek, "Babydoll," he says pressing another to your forehead. "I thought you knew by now that I'm gonna marry you someday."

"Yay," you say sleepily into his chest. "I can't wait.."

"Me either." Darry says as you fall asleep against his chest.

One of my friends had requested this but she doesn’t have tumblr but I thought I might as well post it on here.

IN WHICH,

the greasers/gang reacts to how you hug them out of no where.

!! WARNINGS !!

Just a slight bit of cussing and a lot of fluff. Enjoy!

Darrel Curtis

- oh lover boy

- would kinda freak out ngl

- but he enjoys your hugs

- he’s not really affectionate himself but he can and also will hug you back if he had the meaning too

- he thinks it’s really sweet of you to just give him a hug like that

Sodapop Curtis

- he is probably DYING to get a hug from you

- once he did, he was happy, like very very happy

- he couldn’t explain it

- just like Darry, he enjoys your hugs, a lot

- not to mention but bro is the type of one to have you in a death grip, and won’t let go until you can’t breathe

- Stan Sodapop, he’s the type of one to grab YOUR ass while hugging you 😭

Ponyboy Curtis

- just a hug of reassurance would be good for once in a while

- but this time it wasn’t out of reassurance

- it was out of love actually

- that boy was shocked

- he loves your hugs, he wishes he can stay in your arms all day

- but, he can’t:c

Johnny Cade

- this boy would do ANYTHING to get his hands on affection but he is somewhat scared someone is going to hurt him after what his parents did to him

- you hugged him and told him that everything was going to be okay, and that you weren’t going to let no one hurt him anymore

- he struggles to show how he feels so you randomly hugging him out of no where lets him open up a bit

- he loves your hugs too much to be honest, he’s so affectionate starved

- but is careful around other people when you hug him because he doesn’t want to get you NOR him jumped because that’s his biggest fear

Steve Randle

- god, can you handle the Randle?

- I sure as hell can’t

- giving this man a hug is like asking for a death wish

- he’s just like soda, he’ll hug you back but when he hugs you, it’s like you’re gonna die from suffocation

- but he’s really sweet about you giving him random hugs

- he thinks it’s adorable

Two-Bit Matthews

- hehe you like giving hugs to Two-Bit Matthews

- he’s so sweet and passionate about it, you can’t get over it- what???

- craves your touch fr

- he’s always talking about you to the rest of the gang about how you just give him random ass hugs out of no where and he won’t SHUT UP.

“You know, my girlfriend gives me hugs randomly- and I love them so much, just like the feeling of her on me makes me wanna scream- and I can’t explai-“

“SHUT UP TWO-BIT, YOU TALK TOO MUCH, WONDER WHY WE DIDNT CALL YOU TWO-SHITS 🙄😒”

“🙁🙏”

- yeah and it goes a little something like that

Dallas Winston

- Dally, Dally, Dally.

- he hates affection. (No he wouldn’t have a soft side for you. Unless it’s out of character.)

- but he likes them, somewhat.

- it’s kinda confusing to tell if he likes them or he’s just cringing

- sometime he needs that hug too no matter what he’s going through

- but he doesn’t like the feeling, of love actually after what happened with him and Sylvia.

- there’s a slight 5% chance he’ll hug you back but most of the time he will just wrap an arm around you or he doesn’t hug back.

A/N: thank you for reading this as it my first headcannon post. Normally when I post these, it’s on Wattpad or something else, but this one just kinda felt special with me, you know? anyways, bye!!!

The Outsiders as Animals

wanted to draw Johnny and Dally but I can't draw people to save my life + i love using animals to represent characterizations of people = i came up with the animal equivalents of the gang

also im an animal nerd so i gotta use my knowledge somehow

This is gonna be long because of all the pictures, sorry

Johnny Cade - alley cat

A skinny alley cat of no specific breed, just your basic domestic feline. Likely with black, tuxedo or black smoke fur. He lives almost exclusively outside and is often the target of abuse and bullying, resulting in malnourishment and less-than-ideal hygiene. But, if you feed him and give him a warm place to sleep at night, he might just be your friend. He didn't choose this kind of life, and really he deserves much better.

Dallas Winston - hound

A tall, lanky mutt, with a barrel chest and sharp, pointed features. He's not a specific breed, and definitely not a purebred, but similar to an Ibizan hound. He likes to go fast and enjoys racing, but he also enjoys going out and hunting for some action. His stature might be intimidating, and his teeth sure are big, but he's not so bad once you get to know him... if he let's you, that is.

Two-Bit Mathews - possum

Just your average wild possum, with a goblinoid personality and little grabby hands. He'll show off his teeth any chance he gets, but it's anyone's guess if he'll ever use them. Also, he's surprisingly clean given his lifestyle. (And it's absolutely shocking that he doesn't carry rabies.)

Steve Randle - mountain lion

Lean and muscular, can jump wide gaps and is surprisingly dexterous, and sure he looks innocent enough on the surface (if you didn't know any better) but he would love to beat you up and absolutely will if you give him ANY reason to. You may not be afraid of him, but you should be.

Darrel Curtis - Kodiak or grizzly bear

Big, strong and sturdy. He looks scary, and sounds scary, and yes you should probably be scared, but he'll leave you alone if you mind your own business. Alongside that, he's mostly a loner, definitely wishes he didn't have 2 cubs to look after, but he will provide for them and protect them until his dying breath.

Sodapop Curtis - black bear

A handsome guy, with sleek fur and a kind face. He looks so sweet, and boy is he a charmer, but in reality he is a menace to society (and it's easy to forget that). He will mess with you, and he enjoys being a nuisance, but if you tell him to knock it off he'll probably stop... probably.

Ponyboy Curtis - Gobi bear

Small and dog-like, but still a bear! His kind is endangered and there aren't many like him. He lives in a place that you might not expect, but he's happiest there. He's not much of a hunter, definitely more of a gatherer. He'll defend himself if he has to, especially if he has some backup, but really he doesn't want to hurt anyone.

#this isnt me assigning them animalkin types or whatever #im just autistic and to be quite honest i usually read books with non-human protagonists so this is more like #me envisioning them in forms i better understand?#idk im autistic #the outsiders #dallas winston #johnny cade #darry curtis #sodapop curtis #ponyboy curtis #two bit mathews #steve randle #the outsiders 1983 #outsiders headcanons #no sleep for greasers

Meeting and Dating Darry Curtis

(Not my gif)(Requested by anonymous)

- I wanna preface this by saying that you and Darry even each other out. In order to survive the rough and tumble world of adulthood, you both found yourselves on opposite ends of the “attitude spectrum”: Darry grew to be hard and tough while you grew to be sweet and reserved; both your lives leading you down roads where those two options got you both where you needed to be. And yet, besides all these differences, you meshed together far better than anybody in Tulsa ever could have anticipated.

- Most of this trainwreck waiting to happen mentality of the people around you came from the mistaken belief that you yourself were anything besides a low down JD hood. In your late teens you found yourself a job at a decent looking diner on the edge of town and ever since then, the people you’ve met have been pleasantly unaware of the life you led just a few months prior to being employed.

- Nobody in their right mind would have ever expected you to to be a tough as nails greaser: your customer service attitude and your pristine work uniform ensuring that 90% of your customers overlooked the remnants of your childhood that was smeared across your eyelids and mingled within your voice. All they could make of you was that you were a young girl who needed money and who had a fondness for the ragamuffin kids from the East side of town.

- And yet, even as a greaser yourself, you were still scared shitless of Darrel Shaynne Curtis the first day the two of you met. You’ve seldom met a person who wasn’t....

- You’d always thought Darry was handsome; almost painfully so, even though his steely eyed gaze and hard features made your throat go dry the minute he stepped through the doors of your humble establishment. He looked mean; and like a movie star, and a part of you couldn’t help but feel nervous when you realized that he was taking a seat in your section; even as you tried your best to roll your eyes at your coworker as she made a silent plea for you to let her serve him.

- And though your heart hammered in your chest as you approached him, you also found yourself trying not to get your hopes up; almost entirely certain that he was engaged to some highschool sweetheart that snagged him up as quick as she could.

- You were happy to find out later on that that wasn’t the case....

- His face softened as you approached him and you watched as he morphed into an entirely different person right in front of your eyes. Polite, charming, reserved: not at all what you’d been expecting when he first arrived at your workplace. And the longer he looked at you, the more he seemed to relax; keen eyes clocking the finer details that told him that you were one in the same.

- Soon enough, the two of you were making casual conversation between orders and the nerves you’d had before completely evaporated; replaced by a sense of belonging as you discussed the Oklahoma heat and the need for coffee so early in the morning. By the time he had to leave, you had a feeling you’d be seeing him again soon, and boy were you excited....

- He became a bit of a regular after that: dropping in whenever he had the chance; so much so that his visits resembled check ins rather than stops of necessity or convenience. He’d come in just to drum his fingers along the counter and say good morning as you brewed him a thermos of coffee or passed him a cheap pastry to go, and later in the day, he’d drop by to help you close up shop and walk you to your car.

- It was in those moments that a romance began to brew....

- Flirtatious comments and compliments, winks sent over the counter, subtle touching; it all became a part of your daily routine and it was one that you’d grown to really enjoy. You looked forward to those little moments where he helped you take out the trash or scared off some customer that wouldn’t leave you alone and you relived the day he offered to drive you home over and over again in your head; daydreaming about what could have been if you only had the guts.

- It’s a good thing he has enough guts for the both of you....

“Say, you ever been skiing? Well, I was meant to go with a couple buddies of mind this weekend but they ditched me last minute. I was wondering if you wanted to come along instead? If you don’t it’s no sweat: It’d just be a shame to call it off completely, ya know?” Like you’d ever turn him down?

- You warned him of your inexperience; or betted that you’d kick his ass in a race, before agreeing and asking for the specifics: praying that he couldn’t see your heart hammering in your chest as one of his rare smiles spread across his face. He gave you a time and told you he’d pick you up in his truck before the two of you said goodbye and parted ways.

- And so, that following weekend, you found yourself sitting in the passenger side seat of his truck, clutching the thermoses of coffee/hot chocolate you; or both of you, made while listening to some country singer crooning along on the radio. You spent the rest of the day brushing snow from each others clothes, bundling each other up, and skiing until both of you were breathless and frost bitten; identical smiles plastered across each of your faces.

- By the time you were driving back, the sun was setting into brilliant hues of orange and gold and the cool evening air was abandoned outside for the warm toasty heat of his truck. And, by the time you were exiting his vehicle, he’d already leaned over and connected your lips, kissing you softly as you leaned across his center console.

- After you hopped out, he sat in front of your house for a moment and made sure you got inside safely, biting his lip as he smiled and bounced his leg excitedly. He drove off after your front door closed shut and headed home; hoping that the gang hadn't made too big a mess so that he could end his day just as perfectly as it had been since that morning.

- Darry isn’t overly affectionate; especially when it comes to pda, but he is pretty touchy; mainly out of habit. He isn’t very lovey dovey but he’s constantly got his hands on you: tapping, pushing, picking you up; things like that. People might not see you kiss or hold hands but they do see how close you stand next to each other and the way that you’re almost always together whenever you’re out on the town.

- That being said: he’s always a little scared that he’ll wind up hurting you; regardless of how careful he is when he touches you. He knows that he’s occasionally a bit too rough without meaning to be and he’s under the old fashioned belief that girls are a little more delicate than boys are so he’s always trying his best to be extra gentle and mindful of how hard he’s squeezing you.

- He smacks your ass and I’m tired of pretending that he doesn’t. Most of the time it’s not even a conscious decision or an attempt to be erotic: it’s just the equivalent of him patting your shoulder; except he does that with his little brothers so he feels the need to modify it in order to feel less like your father.

- Shoulder kisses and kisses on the forehead and cheek. He usually pecks you in passing, like when he’s reaching around you for something in the kitchen, but he does it during a multitude of other situations as well.

- When the two of you are alone, he tends to kiss you a lot more often and a lot slower than he does whenever the two of you are out in public or with the gang; he wants to avoid as many teasing comments from Two-bit as he can. He’s also; on occasion, much more energetic and playful, and a part of you wonders whether it’s a remnant of the person he was before his parents passed away....

- Early and late in the day are just about the only times when you’re fully alone and have your privacy so you always try to make them count. He’s a firm believer that he’ll have a good day/good dreams if he gets to kiss you before they happen.

- Are you cuddling or are you being used as a mattress; the world may never know.... Seriously though, at least 50% of the time, he’s laying on top of you and using your stomach as a pillow because he needs to stretch his sore back but refuses to sleep on said back because he can’t snuggle with you nearly as successfully. When he hasn’t pulled a muscle then he’ll opt for spooning you; typically your side because you’ve gotten used to sleeping on your back, and you’ll have to nudge him awake whenever you need to get up because you aren’t able to slip out of his grasp while he’s still asleep.

- Whenever you stay the night; especially in the beginning of your relationship, almost everyone in the gang tries to curiously sneak peaks at you while you’re still asleep in the morning and Darry has to tell them to knock it off while shepherding them away from the door with a roll of his eyes.

- “Baby” is his go to pet name, but when he’s teasing you, he’ll call you things like “little girl” or “sweetheart”. If you have a nickname/shortened version of your name then he’ll call you by that too; and most of the gang will follow in his footsteps or refer to you as Lois Lane.

- Darry is definitely an “acts of service” kind of guy. He has trouble talking about his feelings and doesn’t have the money to buy you a bunch of expensive presents, but he does have the love in his heart to iron your clothes for you, make you breakfast, and drive you to work in the morning before he drives to his own.

- He keeps a photo of you in his car and wallet, stuffed into a compartment that no one will find because he doesn’t want the boys toying around with it and getting it dirty. You probably think you look ugly in it. He thinks you look beautiful.

- The two of you don’t really see each other a ton but you try to keep in touch as best as you can; usually by calling each other up whenever you have a couple minutes to spare. Sometimes it’s just to make plans or to say goodnight at the end of the day but the sentiment remains the same; you’re making the most of your situation and that’s all you can really do.

- He stops by for a quick chat whenever he’s in the area during his lunch breaks. You also occasionally bring him lunch whenever you know where he’s working and want him to actually take care of himself.

- Cancelling a lot of plans because of his work schedule. Not getting your hopes up is just par for the course when you’re dating somebody who had to become a middle aged parent overnight.

- Dates are pretty subjective when it comes to your relationship. Most people wouldn’t consider staying in and cuddling or making dinner with each other a “real date” but the two of you do; mainly because neither of you have the money or the time to actually go out very often.

- Running errands together.

- Showering together to “save water”. You’re thankful that no ones home whenever you do because you can’t imagine what they’d be thinking if they heard you laugh and squeal behind the shut door; even though it’s actually just because he’s shaking his drenched head at you like a dog.

- Working around each other in the bathroom while you try to get ready for the day/night.

- Giving him massages.

- Making sure he doesn’t push himself too hard; alongside Ponyboy and Soda.

- Complimenting his intelligence makes him contemplate knocking you up; plain and simple. Tell him you “don’t know how he does it” when he solves some math equation; especially as a college graduate, and he’ll jump you in a sexy little way as soon as he hears you.

- Everyone is always surprised when they see you teasing him; especially people who think of him as nothing but a rough and tuff greaser. He likes that you aren’t afraid of him; it isn’t often that he’s treated like a normal person so having you call him a joking name or claim that he’s losing muscle makes him smile.

- Speaking of: he’ll usually grab hold of you and haul you off the ground as he smiles and tells you to repeat yourself whenever you decide to mess with him; usually before telling you to say how good and handsome and smart he is and how much you love him before he agrees to put you down.

- Sometimes you wonder whether he’s flexing under your touch or not; if he really is that muscular underneath his clothes or if he’s just trying to show off. He does enough of that as it is: wearing tight shirts, lifting weights, picking you up for no real reason at all, etc. You wouldn’t put it past him; regardless of whether or not you actually enjoy it.

- You’ve definitely, at some point, convinced him to teach you some gymnastics like he did the rest of the gang and wound up spending hours outside as he tried his best to show you what you were doing and not get too distracted by your gym shorts. You did more falling than succeeding but it was still fun; especially when he lifted and threw you around like a bag of grapes.

- Going skiing and camping whenever the two of you can score a weekend alone together.

- He never really had an interest in books or movies until he got together with you and you spent your spare time explaining the plots of them to him while he sat down and relaxed. Films themselves may bore him to death but your voice and the smile on your face never does. He hangs onto every word you say and cherishes the nonsensical and roundabout way that you recount the events that occurred; regardless of how little sense you might actually be making while you talk.

- I can’t deny the fact that I love the idea of Darry reconnecting with someone from his high school days; one that had a crush on him just as much as he did them. Like the two of you never really spoke in high school but talking with you makes him feel like a kid again and seeing you all dressed up reminds him of the prom he never managed to ask you to.

- You try your best to help him understand Ponyboy and give him a break every once in a while. You’re one of the few people he really listens to when they say to leave him alone; particularly when he’s just worried about him.

- When you first started dating, a part of you felt awkward about being around his brothers and how you were meant to fit into their dynamic so you sort of just kept your distance; not wanting to tread on anyone's toes. That all changed when you noticed there wasn’t any cake in the freezer and whipped one up while everyone was asleep so they had one to eat in the morning. It was immediately the “best thing they’d ever eaten” and they accepted you as one of their own the minute they saw you give a relieved smile; realizing then that your standoffish behavior was just you trying to be respectful.

- While the gang certainly does just think of you as a pretty girl and/or Darry’s girlfriend, they also think of you as a confidante, and you’d be surprised at the situations or conversations you’ve gotten yourself into because of it. Dally refuses to listen to you 90% of the time and acts nonchalant when you try to take care of him but when your back is turned he smiles to himself and buries down how good it feels to have someone in his life who’s looking out for him despite his hostility; same goes for everyone else in the gang.

- You sort of become the gangs “mom” by default; mainly because you can’t just take care of Ponyboy and Soda without including the other boys as well. You might be just as crazy as the rest of them but you try to be a good influence, and they respect you and treat you right because you’re “Darry’s” and you’re around all the time.

- Being around them makes you wish you were born a boy sometimes and that’s just a fact.

- It always surprises you when he flips his social switch and suddenly acts super polite; especially when you go from being with the gang to being with your parents. I’m convinced that they adore him because he made a great first impression and they think he’s got a good head on his shoulders; unaware of the fact that he spent the last ten minutes explaining to you that he was gonna crack Ponyboys skull open if he missed one more math assignment and subsequently “threatening” to spank you if you try and stop him.

- Speaking of: the first time you introduced him to your parents, he may or may not have cried on the way home because he realized just how much he missed being seen as a son and not just a strict older brother. His voice was shaking when he asked if they liked him afterwards and you tried not to tear up yourself as he let out a breath and cleared a sob from his throat when you said they were probably gonna want him over every week from “now on”.

- Quiet conversations when everyone else is in the other room or asleep.

- Sometimes, you just can’t tell what he’s thinking and it bothers the hell out of you. You can’t help but feel like you’re doing something wrong; even if you’re just standing around, and you’ll whine as he insists it’s “nothing” with an amused smile.

- But, when it really comes down to it, you’re his rock and he’s yours. You’re the one person he can really confide in and break down to and he’s the same to you. If you need to bawl like a baby in someone's arms then he’s your guy; even if he’s sometimes at a loss for words about what he’s meant to say.

- He cools off a lot when you’re around; isn’t so perpetually stressed. He knows that you’re willing to help him and that you aren’t gonna leave him hanging so the weight that’s constantly on his shoulders tends to fade a bit.

- He’s a bit of a worrier so he’s constantly remembering little things that you tell him in passing and asking about them later on; like when you mention how you’ve been having headaches or trouble sleeping.

- He’s sort of like an overprotective parent: waiting up for you when you don’t get home on time and dragging a chair over so he can keep an eye on you when you’re sick. He might treat you like a kid sometimes but it’s only because he’s scared of losing someone else that he loves.

- The only time Darry really gets jealous is when there’s Soc’s involved. He’s always been envious of them and the fact that he couldn’t be them so he’s always a bit worried that one day, one will come along and want you for themselves. A part of him reasons that if he had the chance to switch sides then he would, so why wouldn’t you?

- Protectiveness courses through his veins. The minute he feels like he needs to be, his chest puffs out and his eyes go stormy and he moves himself in front of you so the person quite literally has to go through him to get to you. Most of the time, people are too scared to even bother you; knowing that the two of you are together, so you’re more or less left alone.

- The two of you bicker and fight every now and again but he really makes an effort to avoid having arguments with you. He just can’t stand it when you’re mad at him and he feels like you spend so little time with each other as it is that it’s a waste to be upset with each other over little things; at least for any real length of time.

- Darry isn’t the most understanding person in the world but when he realizes that he’s hurt you, he bucks up and apologizes. And, occasionally, the boys will come over to your place and explain that Darry’s really taking it hard and that you “know he’s real sorry, right?” and your resolve will weaken until you’re ready to finally talk.

- That being said, if there’s one thing he hates more than hurting you, it’s being ignored by you. It’s one thing to have you mad at or avoiding him but because you’re so close to the rest of the gang, you don’t always keep your distance, even when you’re set on ignoring him. He’ll watch as you talk with Ponyboy and pay him no mind and he’ll think that you’re being childish but will also understand; hoping that you’ll take pity on him eventually and extend an olive branch when you’re done torturing him.

- He doesn’t tell you that he loves you very often but if you get him while he’s still half asleep, he’ll say it without thinking and you’ll start/end your day on a high note. Most of the time, he shows instead of tells so try not to stress over his limited declarations of adoration.

- Darry’s intent on going somewhere: he doesn’t want to be stuck in a dead end roofing job for the rest of his life; killing himself for peanuts while saving every penny he makes. He wants to make something of himself and he wants to bring you along with him: hopefully to get married and live in peace for once....

This post is introducing The Outsiders.

So i’ll name them and put their picture and their personality. Greasers only. SPOILERS IF YOU DON’T WANT TO SEE SPOILERS DON’T READ!!!! This is for my post I’ll be posting soon! Maybe in a couple weeks. It’s been taking me forever.

Sodapop/Soda Curtis- He dropped out of school to work for his brothers. He kind of took over as one of the parents because his parents died in a car crash. He doesn’t sm*ke unless something is bugging him or he has a rough day. He’s always working to support their family and their group. He’s a funny person. Steve is his closest friend throughout the whole group. Sadly girls only want him for his looks. He hates when he gets tied up into Darry and ponyboys fights it always stresses him out. He grew up not really knowing his parents.

———————————————————————

Darry/Darrel Curtis- He is the legal guardian of Ponyboy since their parents died. He is definitely like a parent to the whole group of greasers. He’s always making sure everyone is okay. He always worry’s he’s gonna fail at being a parent to Ponyboy. He always try’s to make sure everyone will be okay. He is a really sweet guy to his close ones. He HATES the color yellow with all of his heart. He isn’t the type to show how he’s feeling if any of his emotions. Ponyboy and him fight most of the time but he loves ponyboy and is always trying to look out for him.

———————————————————————

Ponyboy/Pony Curtis- He is the “Kid” in the family. Him and Soda grew up not really knowing their parents. He doesn’t like to hurt anyone. He got beat up and hurt badly the beginning of the story/movie by the socs. He is a nice boy. His closest friend is Johnny throughout the whole group. His hair is the only way he truly feels like he’s apart of the greasers. When he ran away with Johnny he spent all his time with Johnny and when he spent time with him Johnny bought him a book and he was the happiest boy ever. He spent each night by Johnny’s side. When Johnny died he went crazy and he had a concussion from the rumble so he wouldn’t eat forever because everything tasted like bologna to him because when they ran away that’s all they had to eat and he hated it.

———————————————————————

Dally/Dallas Winston- He is a tough guy. He is always starting trouble with someone or doing something bad. He loves Johnny but won’t admit it. Johnny is basically his best friend. After Johnny died he went crazy and he robbed a store. He threatened the cops with a gun and then he ran out of the store. He had the cops after him so he used one of the phones in the streets to call Darry and tell him to hurry. Once everyone got there he was surrounded by the police and the group. He pointed the gun at the police and they shot Dally. Steve was scared to even be there because he was afraid he would be in trouble and he had his hands up. Darry and pony were crying and screaming. The rest were so upset and basically flabbergasted. But i’ve seen almost everywhere that Dally said “Pony” before he got shot because he realized he loved Pony just as much as he loved Johnny but he just didn’t hear it. But Pony loved Dally so much but he never showed it.

———————————————————————

Johnny Cade- Ponyboy is his best friend. He is always there for Ponyboy. He’s basically just the “Pet” of the group. But Ponyboy sees him more than a “Pet” he sees him as his closest person ever. Johnny is also close with Dally. Before Johnny died he told Pony to “Stay Gold” because a poem that Pony liked was “Stay Gold” Pony didn’t know what it meant. But before Johnny died he figured out that it meant “Stay young and Stay innocent. It meant when your younger everything is vibrant and new and your innocent. but as you get older you lose the color and it doesn’t last long.” Johnny always wanted to die but when he was dying he didn’t want to die. He didn’t think 16 years was long enough.

———————————————————————

Two-Bit Matthew’s- He is a pretty strong guy. He seems to be pretty hyper. Hes close with everyone just in general. He’s not scared to hurt someone. He sticks up for his group. He dosent show much emotion the only emotion he really shows is happiness. He is obsessed with Mickey Mouse. He’s always wearing his go-to Mickey Mouse shirt. If that shirt is dirty he will wear his orange one. He is really smart. He laughs at his own jokes all the time no matter if they’re funny or not. He dosent like kids but he’s still good with them. His hair is always greasy no matter what you will never see him without greasy hair. He likes Leather jackets a lot.

———————————————————————

Steve Randle- He is always bragging about something no matter what. He’s closest with Sodapop. He is very respectful to girls/women of any age. He’s scared of birds… No matter what he’s getting into a fight. He likes girls with Ginger hair but he can’t find any where he lives. Honestly if you asked him he would probably teach you how to work on cars. He likes flexing to people. He is always making something for them to eat and he’s always trying out new dishes. (I don’t really know much about him.)

———————————————————————

That’s all the greasers. <3

Do you take requests? What about Johnny Cade x Soda's twin sister? The gang, especially her brothers, notice something different about Y/N and for whatever ungodly reason they think she likes Steve. Ponyboy is the only one that knows she's in love with Johnny but she's too shy to say anything. (Ponyboy is the only one she told)

Next Time | Johnny Cade x Soda's Twin Sister Word Count: 2029

Warnings: N/A

Notes: I wasn't too sure about this plot but oh well

You’ve had a crush on Johnny Cade for as long as you could remember. He was cute, sweeter than most of the rest of the guys, and quiet too. All traits that you thought made him just so much better than any other guy. Even the ones who you went to school with.

Recently though, your crush has only gotten worse. You’ve been blushing around him, glancing towards him every chance you’ve gotten, and of course you can’t help but daydream about the guy every once in a while. Your brothers quickly picked up on it. How could they not? You were their sister. Your first crush (that they knew about) had to be important. They teased you about it gently, just normal brother stuff, but it wasn’t until one particular day that they realized what was up.

Most of the gang had left and you were sitting on the couch pretending to read some book for school (but really staring at Johnny as he left). Sodapop sat down next to you with a smug look on his face. He always looked a little smug, but today you could clearly tell that he was up to something, though you weren’t quite sure what that was yet.

“So… what’s up with you lately?” He teased.

“What? Nothing!”

“Mhm,” he nodded slightly, unable to stop himself from laughing, “So, Steve, huh?”

You glared at him, but looked confused enough that he decided to clarify. “Oh c’mon Y/N, we all know you gotta crush on him.”

You felt your face heat up violently. A crush on Steve? You couldn’t believe that they would ever even consider that.

Ponyboy couldn’t help but laugh hearing that. He was the only one you actually told, but he had never been the best at keeping secrets. You had just hoped that he had already gotten out of that little brother snitch phase when you’d told him; evidently, he hadn’t.

You still regret the night you told him. As sweet as he was (compared to the rest of the gang), he was still your obnoxious little brother. You couldn’t even be sure he wasn’t going to tell Johnny himself at this point. He had actually threatened it once before. Telling Johnny just so you would get over your crush. Thankfully he hadn’t done it yet, but you could never be too cautious. Not with how much time they spent together.

”Pony!” You shouted with a glare towards him, “I don’t have feelings for Steve- never have, never will.”

“Well…” Sodapop slid closer, “Steve or not. I know you got a crush on someone and I wanna know who that someone is. You’re my baby sister!” Only by a few minutes, you wanted to tell him, but you decided against it. It would only confirm that he was properly annoying you like he seemed to love to do oh so much.

Before you could answer. Well, it wasn’t like you were really gonna tell him anyways. Not now. Darrel came into the room and interrupted the conversation, if it could even be considered one. It felt much more like an interrogation at this point, and a very embarrassing one too, mind you.

“Lay off her. If she likes a boy, that’s her business.” He said, sitting in between you and your twin so that he couldn’t bother you. After telling off Soda, he turned to you, “That being said kid, I gotta meet him before I let him go near you. I’m your big brother. I don’t want you going off on a date with some asshat who doesn’t give a shit about you.”

You couldn’t help but chuckle slightly at that, rolling your eyes at him. “Oh come on Dar. There’s a reason I haven’t told him already. It’s not gonna happen.” You replied. At this point you had already accepted it.

Johnny was quiet, skittish, and you didn’t think he’d be willing to date a girl that he didn’t think of as part of the gang. Not with all the stories about cheaters and liars that Dally had told him which could probably be recounted as horror stories with the way he exaggerated. It was disappointing, sure, but you’d accepted it by now. Johnny was just off limits. Both mentally and because he was so close to your brother. That didn’t mean you couldn’t daydream about him, or hangout with him, or even fall asleep wishing he was next to you, your arms around him, instead of your pillow. All it meant was that you had to be realistic. That you had to realize he’d never want more than a friendship.

You heard someone laughing from behind you, which made you realize that Pony was still there. You shook your head, momentarily considering glaring at him again but deciding against it. Pony already knew, no one else needed to. Not in your opinion. Especially not someone as talkative as Soda. He may pretend to hate gossip, but besides for Two-Bit he was the worst at keeping secrets out of the entire gang. If he found out everyone in the city would probably know by the time he came home the next day.

Soda quickly turned to look at him. A smirk evident on his face. “Ohhh, so you know who it is? C’mon, tell me Pony. I swear I won’t tell nobody.” He put his hands up in defense, though mostly as a joke. Everyone knew he had to tell at least someone. Hell, he might’ve already told Steve about the crush he thought you had on him.

“Hmm, who knows? Maybe she does like Steve.” Pony joked, unable to stop himself from laughing.

You wanted to tell him off, assure them all that you didn’t like Steve, that you never would. But in doing that you would only reveal who you actually liked. You couldn’t convince them otherwise if you didn’t tell them the truth. Unfortunately just denying it wouldn’t be any good. For a moment you considered lying. Saying you liked a boy from your school, or one of the other greaser boys they knew, or maybe even Dal, but you were never too great of a liar. They all knew that and they all knew exactly how to catch you lying. That was your least favorite part of being the only girl in a family (and group) full of boys.

“Come on Pony! You know I don’t!”

“So he does know. What does he know that we don’t, Y/N?” Darry asked, turning to you. Unfortunately, in taking on the role of father figure, he also became way too overprotective. Maybe too protective even. You knew you couldn’t tell him. God, if he found out there was a chance that he’d either kill Johnny or thank him for being such a good kid and not one of those jerks. You could never be too sure with him but Johnny was a good kid and one of the better boys out there. He wasn’t like Dallas by any means, who would definitely get you in some sort of trouble if you did like him. Hopefully it wouldn’t go too bad if Darry ever did find out

“Oh nothing! He’s just being annoying.” You insisted, though your face gave you away.

Sodapop tried to push, He peaked out from behind your older brother with his mouth open. Then Darrel quickly stopped him. “Okay okay fine. Crush or not, she’s still our sister. Just lay off her for now. I’m sure she’ll tell us when she’s ready. Won’t you?” He asked, shoving Soda into the sofa gently as he spoke.

You quickly nodded, though still not too excited about the idea of telling them.

As you and Pony were in the bathroom brushing your teeth, he nudged you with his elbow with a smile. “You know he likes you. Just tell him, really. I mean have you seen the way he looks at you? I think he might be in love.”

“Oh come on, don’t be cruel Pony. You know he doesn’t. Has he ever even told you he liked a girl before?”

Despite insisting that Johnny had a crush on you, he had to say no. Johnny had never. There was a time that he was sure Johnny would never like a girl.

Though Ponyboy was much closer to him than the rest of the gang was, personally at least (aside from Dal), you didn’t trust that. Johnny didn’t look at you any sort of way. With how much you stared at him every day, you would’ve noticed if he did. Surely you weren’t that clueless. You couldn’t be.

Thankfully he decided to stop bothering you for the night. You got an alright night of sleep, only waking up once when you thought you heard Pony having another nightmare. It had only been your imagination, but it did take you a bit to calm down again.

Johnny was there again the next day and coincidentally, no one else was. You smiled as you sat down next to him, pulling a blanket towards yourself.

“Oh… hey.” He smiled, though he looked a bit embarrassed. Almost like he had been caught doing something. You didn’t quite understand why.

As you two sat on the couch, you kept glancing towards him. Trying a little desperately to see if he really did look at you a certain way. You barely got the chance to catch him looking, unfortunately. He always seemed to look away the second you turned your head.

You kept debating the pros and cons of asking him out as you sat next to him. There was a chance he would like you, but that wouldn’t mean he would want to go out with you, and what if you lost him as a friend too. Though you didn’t think he would ever break off a friendship because of that.

By the time you had finally started to figure out what you wanted to do, Sodapop was home and bothering you again. He sat himself right down next to you, but looked over at Johnny.

“Oh didn’t you hear Johnny? She likes St-“ You cut him off by elbowing his shoulder.

“I do not!” You insisted, but Sodapop clearly still didn’t believe you.

Despite being so unbelievable, Johnny looked a bit sad at hearing you liked someone. You weren’t sure why. Logically there would only be one reason and you didn’t think that it was possible in Johnny’s situation. Oh poor, sweet Johnny. Maybe he always looked sad and you just hadn’t noticed until right now.

After about half an hour of bothering you, Sodapop decided to go do his own thing. Apparently even annoying his own sister couldn’t be entertaining for too long. Once he was gone, Johnny spoke up again,

“Do you… do you really like Steve?” He asked. Johnny always looked a little like a lost puppy, but at this moment he resembled one even more. You sighed and shook your head, though you couldn’t help but smile at him.

“No, he just likes annoying me , Johnny Cakes. Don’t worry about it.”

You tried to assure him, but unfortunately it didn’t look to be doing too well. He still looked a little skittish. Like he would run at any moment if you said the wrong thing. So you sighed and wrapped an arm around him. “You okay?”

He nodded, but the fact that he didn’t respond verbally gave you all that you needed to know. He was obviously upset about something. You guys talked for a bit longer, but eventually Johnny fell asleep. So you did too, cuddling up next to him on the couch.

When you woke up you saw your younger brother standing above you with a small smirk. Unfortunately you could no longer feel Johnny next to you, you wondered how long you’d been sleeping. “Better luck next time, eh?”

“Shut your mouth Pony.” You said as loud as possible without waking Johnny up. You groaned and threw a pillow at him.

Maybe you would have better luck next time, or maybe there wouldn’t be a next time. You weren’t sure.

Run2u - Shifty Powers

(Shifty x female reader)

*based of the song ‘run2u’ by Stayc*

Word count: 3362

Genre: Fluff, a tiny bit of angst

Warnings : vulgar language, a tiny bit of name calling, and douchbags .

Masterlist <3

(Modern AU)

*********************************************************************

“I'll cross the line over and over. It's okay if I get hurt, I'll run to you~”

You look at yourself in the mirror one more time, examining your features, checking for any mistakes in your makeup or any flyaways in your hair.

For some context, It was Valentine’s day and you agreed to go on a date with a boy, Jake from one of your semenars in school.

He was a sweet boy really. He was nice, funny and always gave you the homework answers when you needed them, but he wasn’t the one person you had intended on spending Valentine’s day with.

But your bestfriend and roommate, Shifty, always caught your eye instead.

Even as little kids you were head over hills for the sweet boy. Whether it’d be playing in the forest, or telling off bullies in school ~ You were still smitten with Shifty.

He never noticed though, despite your best efforts of flirting over the years. You never minded though, just getting to be best friends with him was enough for you.

As kids, you guys continued to hangout almost everyday, spending any free time you had together, but once fall rolled around and it was time for you and Shifty to begin high school, everything had changed.

Shifty always showed his southern hospitality to everyone at your school. regularly saying hello to people in the halls, helping teachers with their bags, and was one of the star athletes on the football field. He, of course, quickly became popular with many new friends and often smitten by the popular girls.

You on the other, not so much. You stuck to a couple of your other friends and art, But your eccentric and rebellious style often led to the occasional teasing and harsh rumors against you.

Adjusting into different friend groups, getting into relationships, hobbies, and sports made it hard to see your best friend anymore.

And with overtime, You had thought that maybe your feelings for Shifty had subsided. Finally coming to terms with the thought that he probably wasn’t interested in you the way you were interested in him.

Until, he asked you to be his roommate for college, when he found out you guys were both accepted into the same uni, only a month before graduating.

You agreed and you both started hanging out more and more just like old times.

Eventually all of those feelings that you had for Darrell in the past had started coming back to you, for good this time.

Now living with him and seeing him everyday, It made it ten times harder for you to hide your feelings around him.

You finally walk out of the bathroom door into your room. making way towards your bed, which laid your beautiful black dress you’d picked out for tonight.

You put your dress on and took a spin in the mirror. Somehow you wished that it was Shifty you were spending Valentine’s day with, and not Jake.

When you two were in the kitchen earlier this morning, Darrell had brought up Valentines plans and you thought it would be the perfect time to bring up Jake.

“So Shifty guess what?” You said sitting in the dining room table, eating a bowl of cereal.

“what’s on your mind y/n?” He said with a bright smile looking up from the orange he was peeling.

“I got asked out today, I’m finally going to have a Valentine’s date after all these years!” you said walking towards the boy. “isn’t that great!?”

Shifty stopped peeling his orange, looking up at you.

“Really y/n? well that’s great, really” He looking at you, with almost a bittersweet smile. Then quickly going back to his orange.

You looked at him confused. Something had changed in his demeanor when you brought up your new date.

He continued peeling his orange with a blank expression on his face.

“well what about you shift, what are your plans for valentines?”

“oh nothin really, i’ll just be here y’know, maybe go out with some friends.” He said not taking his eyes from the orange.

“Oh okay, well when I get back we can watch plenty of movies! it’ll be your pick tonight!”

“Of course y/n. Good luck on your date tonight. I’m really happy for you.” He looked up at you with a sullen look on his face. Before taking his orange and walking off to his room.

It was definitely an odd encounter between you two but you didn’t question it. You just assumed that he isn’t used to you going out on dates and that was the reason behind his off behavior.

You go into your closet, looking for the perfect pair of heels that would go with your pretty dress.

You find some simple black heels, that aren’t too high and would go perfect with your dress.

You look in the mirror one last time before you grab your phone and purse and start to walk out of the bedroom door.

As you’re walking out you hear a text notification coming from your phone.

“I’ll be there in 5, be ready”You text back an okay and shut your door.

You walk out in the living room to see a concentrated Shifty playing his game.

“How do I look Shift?”

He quickly pauses his game on the tv and sits up from his spot on the couch.

“Wow, Y/n. y-you look amazing” He says, Looking you up and down respectfully.

“Thanks shift, you always know how to make me blush”

He smiled at your comment then looked back down again, as if he was trying to find the words he wanted to say. “Jake is one lucky man”

“Thanks Shifty, I’ll be back before you know it!” You smiled back to him.

Right then you hear the doorbell ring.

“I will, be safe y/n and if you need me just call.” He said walking you up towards the door.

“ I will, bye shifty!” You open the door, to see a nervous Jake, scratching the back of his neck and looking towards the drive way.

“Hiya y/n. You ready?” He quickly puts his hand down from his neck and moves it towards you, waiting for you to grab his hand.

you gladly accept and head out the door on the way to his car.

It was almost towards the end of the date with Jake. He took you to a nice restaurant downtown.

It was okay so far, He didn’t ask really any first date questions, or any questions at all.

He seemed more interested in talking about himself and what he was up to, but you were alright with it, never being much of a talker yourself.

“So again, That’s how me and my friends Didn’t get caught stealing that stop sign” He boasted on about yet another story of his.

He noticed you looking in the distance, watching the rain start to pick up from outside.

“Are you even listening to me?” He put put down his fork and grabbed onto his glass of champagne.

“Yea, yes I am” You said looking back towards him with a grin.

“Alright well, are you almost ready to leave, maybe go somewhere quieter than here” He said looking at you with a charming smirk.

You gave him a timid “sure” before you guys headed on your way.

Once you guys were finally on the road, He finally starts asking basic ‘get to know you’ questions, As you start to tell him about your hometown, you feel jakes free hand slowly creep up your thigh.

“Jake, What are you doing?” You gave an unsure look his way.

“Oh nothing doll, Can I not touch a darling like you?” He asks with a chuckle. Squeezing your thigh before going up further under your dress to your panty line.

You start feeling uncomfortable by his gesture, wishing for him to stop, “Jake quit.”

“quit what, darling?” You try to pull his hand off of your inner thigh but he doesn’t budge.

“Get you hands off me!” You raise your voice slightly, You push his hand as hard as you can.

You get a scoff return from Jake as he pushes his hand back to the steering wheel, shaking his head, almost as if he was embarrassed that he was turned down.

“Take me home, now.” You say facing the passenger window, refusing to look at him.

“Whatever” He replies, keeping his eyes on the road.

“bitch” you hear him mutter under his breath.

“What did you just say?” You grit your teeth in anger.

“Nothing, y/n, I said nothing” He said clenching his jaw and continuing his eyes on the road.

You could feel tears in your eyes starting to form. Why, out of all nights this had to happen?

The rest of the car ride was silent, except for the heavy rain that starting coming down onto the car.

Finally, in what you thought took forever, You could see him slowly pulling up to the front of your house.

“Get out” He spat out at you. You could hear the irritation in his voice but just ignored it.

“Trust me, I am” You replied, rolling your eyes.

You gathered all of your belongings in the car before heading out of the car into the rain.

“Thanks a lot for wasting my night, bitch” Jake yelled out to you before driving off recklessly.

You start to feel your throat close up and your eyes cloud with those familiar tears from earlier.

You let out all of your emotions right there in the drive way of your house. How could you be so stupid to go out with him?

Why did he feel the need to call you a bitch and what were his intentions with you anyway? Your head starts to load with these unwanted thoughts.

“Y/n?” you hear a voice come from the porch, pulling you out of your thoughts.

You turn your head to see a concerned looking shifty standing in the door way of your shared home. Only being able to make out little parts of his features in the darkness and rain.

You see him close the door for a second, only for him to turn the porch light on and get what looks to be a rain coat from the rack by the door.

“C‘mon let’s get inside y/n, you’re gonna get sick.” He says stepping out of the house and towards you.

He examines the features on your face, noticing your runny mascara, red eyes, and tear stained cheeks.

You quickly look down, trying to hide your face from the sweet boy, not wanting him to see you like this.

“Are you alright, darlin?” He said, lifting your chin up with his calloused but soft fingers.

You look up at him, meeting his eyes.

You felt his hand move up to your cheek, caressing it lightly. “Tell me what happened, honey”

“He was a douchebag, and It was just horrible Darrell.” You started to cry again.

“Hey, hey it’s okay” He said wrapping you in his arms. Holding you tight from all of the pain you endured this evening.

“Here take this” He grabbed the coat and started to wrap it around you. You noticed his soft but focused features. You couldn’t help but notice how good he looks in the rain.

“What?” He grinned, looking back at you once he wrapped you up the in coat. He caught you staring.

“Nothing, Shift.” You said still staring at him dreamily, and once again, he really did look nice in the rain.

He observed the way you looked at him. You could see his body shift, noticing his cheeks and ears go blood red.

“y-y/n let’s go inside where it’s warm. We can talk more about it if you want to inside.”

He gently grabbed your arm and led you up the porch and into the house.

Once you to got inside he took the coat off of you and replaced it with a nice blanket.

“Go sit down and warm up, i’ll go make some hot chocolate for you, a-alright?” He hurried to the kitchen to fix you up a nice drink.

When he came back into the living room he sat down and handed you your hot chocolate and a water bottle just in case you needed something else to drink with the warm beverage.

“Tell me what happened darlin. I m-mean only if you want to, no pressure” He started to explain himself.

“It’s alright Shifty. I’ll tell you what happened.”

You started onto the story of what happened from the beginning to the end as he listened to your words carefully.

As you started to tell him what happened in the car you could see his face harden and his jaw clench at your words. It was rare to see Darrell angry, but when he was, it was almost scary.

You could feel yourself choke up on your words, tears ready to spill again at any moment.

“So that’s what happened shift. That’s why i’m crying. ” You tried slowing down your tears. Holding the blanket closer to you, searching for comfort in the warmth.

“That guy, i-imma get him. No man should treat a little lady like that. Especially you, y/n.” He got up, ready to set out and look for the boy that made his y/n cry.

“Darrell wait, please just stay with me. He ain’t worth it. ” You looked up at him with your glassy doe eyes. His expression softening after your eyes met his.

“I’m so sorry, y/n. That guy’s a real jerk, he doesn’t deserve a pretty girl like you” He sat back down and rubbed your back lightly.

You think your heart skipped a couple beats when he said that. He called you pretty?

“Thank you shift. I don’t think he deserved me either” You said pausing, before taking a leap of faith. “But I could think of someone who does”

“Who y/n? He must be somethin” Shifty replied, leaning forwards to grab his hot chocolate.

“Would you like to know who it is Shifty?” You grabbed his arm, making him set his mug down and lean back into the couch.

“Who is it y-you like y/n? Tab? Chuck? Just tell me.” He looked at you with curious eyes. It seemed as if he needed to know you answer more than you did.

“But if I tell you nothing will change, right?” You ask him.

“Just spit it out y/n/n”

You thought about the words you were about to say. You might not ever get the chance to tell him how you feel, so now would be the best time to live in the moment.

“I like you Darrell.. Ever since we were kids i’ve liked you. It’s always been you who I run to.” You finish. Looking for any expressions on his face, Looking for any signs that he might just want you back.

You waited for a response. Shifty sat there with a blank expression, in shock. He didn’t know what to say to you.

“Shifty, say something please” You plead in a soft whisper, feeling your voice go weak and your throat close up.

This was one of your worst fears

That the relationship between you and shifty was unrequited and that he had never liked you.

You look at him one last time before standing up and walking fast out of the front door, slamming the it shut.

As you hear the door close, you slowly sink to the porch floor, feeling your knees go out as you finally let out all of your held in emotions.

Today has been so draining for you, and the last thing you needed was this.

Shifty had always been such a big part in your life. Your first crush, your first friend. Losing him would almost be like losing a part of yourself, and you couldn’t let that happen.

“Y/n?” You hear a soft voice open the door.

Knowing the familiar voice and scared to hear what he might have to say, you get up and start to walk away from him into the rain.

“I-I’m sorry I didn’t- I didn’t mean to leave you hanging in there. I j-just didn’t know what to say. I’m just sorry y/n” You see him shutting the door and following after you into the rain.

“It’s okay, Shift. I get it” You stare at your feet blankly. You could feel your heart breaking by the second.

You could now notice how much closer he had gotten to you. You examine his soft eyes, it almost looked as if he had tears in his eyes, In this moment, whatever he said could make or break your relationship between him forever.

He takes a step closer towards you, if that was even possible, and puts a few wet strands of hair behind your ear. Looking at you with those same dreamy eyes. You start to feel your mind and heart calm down to its original, peaceful state.

He grabs you softly pulling you into his warm embrace. He holds you tightly, almost as if he could lose you at any second.

You sink into to his chest, hearing his heartbeat in your ear and smelling his woodsy cologne on his shirt.

You take your head away from his chest and look back up at him, before feeling his soft lips melt into yours. In that moment you could feel a hundred thoughts at once, all landing back to him.

You never thought a kiss could have so much emotion and love before until tonight. His kiss was so loving, soft, but passionate all at the same time, something you could definitely get used to.

As the kiss continued, you could feel him sigh into your mouth as a sign of relief, before coming back up for air.

You both stepped back to look at each other. From your previous position before he hugged you.

“I always thought you were just joking, no way did I ever think you actually liked me y/n. If so, I would’ve asked you out in a heartbeat” You hear him speak his feelings to you , in a whisper like voice.

You couldn’t believe your ears, all of this just seemed too perfect. You would have never believed, in a million years that the Shifty Powers had liked you all along and never once told you.

“So, I’m sorry y/n, ” He starts back up to his confession.

“b-but It’s always been you” He takes his hand and pets your cheek softly.

You were so happy, you could almost cry. You scold yourself for never thinking you had a chance with him in the first place.

“so Shifty… Now that I know you feel the same. Will you be my Valentines?” You tilt your head at him curiously.

“Of course” He replies back to you with a soft smile, before going back to kiss your cheek.

You smirk to yourself then look at him, “It’s crazy.”

Kissing Shifty in the rain would be nothing little of a dream come true for you, but here you are.

“What is?” He questions, noticing the smirk on your face.

“us, you and me in the rain confessing our feelings for one another.” You start to laugh again.

“You’re right, I thought they only saved this stuff for the movies.” You hear him chuckle.

“Good thing you’re wrong” You say, admiring his wet features in the rain.

“Let’s go inside, then we can start are Valentines evening, Darling” He takes your hand and leads you back to the house.

Tonight was definitely a roller coaster ride of emotions but in the end it was all worth it, and this Valentine’s day was definitely one for the books.

🎱 Darrell Todd NSFW Alphabet 🎱

A/N: Keep in mind our boy is bi. I tried keeping this gender neutral, though. This is in Darrell Todd x You format. Also keep in mind he is a vers. I once said he gave subby energy, but soft dom is also applicable.

Absolutely not proofread. I charged through this like a diesel train firing on all cylinders.

A = Aftercare (What they’re like after sex)

He's usually light-headed after sex. When he comes down from his high he'll make sure to attend to you. He helps you clean up (if you want) and would get both of you a drink of water. Tucks your hair behind your ear/brushes your hair from your forehead while you drink.

Would love to cuddle after, share a kiss or 2 … or 3 before falling asleep with you in his arms.

B = Body part (Their favourite body part of theirs and also their partner’s)

His hands. They're big with prominent knuckles. There's a couple of freckles on the backs of his hands and one mole on his right wrist. He has vertically long fingernails which have a sort of pale pink nail bed and barely there lunulas. He keeps his nails trimmed and clean.

His hands are reliable. They can touch, caress, hold, grope, and pull orgasms out of you.

Of course he also likes his dick. He's all about closeness and thinks having it buried balls deep inside you would be the epitome of closeness.

Your tits and thighs and lips. Don't get me wrong he appreciates a nice ass, but tits drive him wild. Chronic case of lemme suck them tiddies. He can get off on it alone.

C = Cum (Anything to do with cum basically… I’m a disgusting person)

Thick and white, which is relatively surprising for someone who has bad eating habits and who leisurely smokes.

Would love to cum inside you every chance he gets, but if you don't want that he'll gladly cum on your belly or your thighs.

Likes to see his cock covered in both your juices when he pulls out.

Gathers any that leaks out and pushes it back in.

Likes it when you swallow.

D = Dirty Secret (Pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)

Would just love to bite you

He settles for nips and hickeys but he would love to sink his teeth down and mark you up

E = Experience (How experienced are they? Do they know what they’re doing?)

He's pretty experienced and kinda knows his way around.

Deadset on learning how you like it so he can satisfy you. He will find that sweet spot and make it his fucking mission to hit it every single time. He sleeps well knowing he did a good job for you.

F = Favourite Position (This goes without saying. Will probably include a visual)

Missionary and its variations: Both legs on his shoulders. One leg up. Your ankles locked around his waist/the small of his back.

He thinks it's perfect because you can have eye contact and its easier for spotting any signs of discomfort (no matter who's topping)

Also allows for deeper penetration and gives him front row seats to your tits. Makes your lips more accessible to deep, heated kisses.

G = Goofy (Are they more serious in the moment, or are they humorous, etc)

Somewhere in the middle, I suppose. Likes to enjoy the closeness, wants to focus on how good it feels throughout.

Won't actively joke but he'd make you smile with honest, genuine praise.

Praise him and you'll get him very red and smiley.

H = Hair (How well groomed are they, does the carpet match the drapes, etc.)

The carpet obvs doesn't match the drapes. He doesn't shave but trims it to help with clean up and comfort.

I = Intimacy (How are they during the moment, romantic aspect…)

Very intimate.

Leans down all the time to kiss you. Thinks he can manifest his feelings through kissing. Outside of a sexual setting his kisses hold a lot of meaning too.

Kisses every bit of skin he can reach.

J = Jack Off (Masturbation headcanon)

Jerks off a lot. It's one of the ways he relieves stress.

He'll be at work and very subtly reach down and palm himself behind the counter. Sometimes he disappears into the gas station bathroom to pump one out. Things get more interesting in his trailer.

He humps his pillow, hands clutching it in a death grip, while he lets his thoughts wander or while looking at pictures of you.

K = Kink (One or more of their kinks)

BREEDING

Praise kink

Mutual masturbation

Taking pictures/getting his picture taken

Outdoor sex/Agoraphilia

L = Location (Favourite places to do the do)

His trailer, in the woods or by the lake of Devil's Peak

M = Motivation (What turns them on, gets them going)

Dirty talk and naughty texts

Send him a pic and he's fucking feral, itching to get off his shift

On the opposite end however, he also gets turned on when you're just relaxing/cuddling. Loves it when there's this shared air of trust and open affection that wraps around you.

Tenderness.

Confident and genuine smiles, twinkling eyes, and having some outspoken passion for an interest enthralls him too

N = NO (Something they wouldn’t do, turn offs)

Bondage

Knife or bloodplay

Degradation

Any form of hitting (spanking or slapping)

O = Oral (Preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc)

Honestly, he loves both. He knows how to go down on you for sure.

Great hand-tongue coordination *wink wonk*

He likes to lace his fingers with yours while giving/receiving

Absolutely loves when you come in his mouth and swallows every drop

Will not hesitate to kiss you even with the taste of him on your tongue.

P = Pace (Are they fast and rough? Slow and sensual? etc.)

He gives you time to adjust once he bottoms out, but he's quick to settle on a pace you both enjoy.

Knows how important good rhythm is, so he's gonna commit to that.

Gets faster as both of you are close.

Q = Quickie (Their opinions on quickies rather than proper sex, how often, etc.)

Loves a good quickie <3

Willing to risk it all for a quickie

If he's stuck at work, you're more than welcome to drop by and take him in the storage closet or bathroom.

R = Risk (Are they game to experiment, do they take risks, etc.)

50/50… if it makes him uncomfortable or bears any form of resemblance to his turn offs, I'm sorry he isn't doing it.

S = Stamina (How many rounds can they go for, how long do they last…)

Baby can take 2 max, but each round lasts a while so you both would have had your fill by then.

T = Toy (Do they own toys? Do they use them? On a partner or themselves?)

Surprisingly doesn't own toys. Considered buying one of those doll torsos, but decided against it. Didn't appreciate how desperate he seemed.

If you do have toys, he'll gladly use them on you, and if you get him any he's very willing to try them.

U = Unfair (how much they like to tease)

Doesn't tease much. Doesn't like to be teased either. If you want him, you'll get him and would appreciate it if you return the favor. He gets embarrassed/incredibly needy when you tease.

V = Volume (How loud they are, what sounds they make)

Loud. Can't help it. Absolutely vocal.

Sprinkle of expletives here and there

So much moaning it might surprise you because in a normal setting he isn't too talkative.

Petnames galore. Says "ma'am/sir" or "mama/daddy" when subbing, but always uses "baby".

Out of breath by the time he's about to cum. Just helpless pathetic whimpers that he buries in the crook of your neck.

Begging. That's it.

Stumbles over his words.

His orgasm pulls out a deep, satisfied, moan out of him.

W = Wild Card (Get a random headcanon for the character of your choice)

Thoroughly believes that sex isn't good sex unless it's sloppy so... let's hope you're at the lake or near some running water and paper towels.

X = X-Ray (Let’s see what’s going on in those pants, picture or words)

*cracks knuckles* I've said before that he's big in every sense of the word and I stand by it. He's a good 8 inches in length, maybe a spare .02 or .04 or so, and a decent 5 inches in girth. Uncircumcised. (Gasp! An uncircumcised Christian?! Heresy! Bloo is burnt at the stake)

A shower. When you pull down his pants, it's a bit of a shocker and he always chuckles at your reaction.

Worried that you genuinely can't take it.

Y = Yearning (How high is their sex drive?)

Relatively average sex drive? Although it's pretty high when you're around.

Z = ZZZ (… how quickly they fall asleep afterwards)

Pretty fast, only because he's absolutely spent afterwards, but he'll force himself to listen to you if you wanna talk after. He'll insist he's just resting his eyes when he closes them. Pretty soon his replies turn into sweet but monosyllabic mmm's. Then he's out.

Redeeming big brother; Steve Harrington x pre-teen sis reader

*Author’s note*

Okay so this is a pretty short sweet little ficlet that went around my head for awhile. Like I said I’ve been wanting to write a Steve Harrington fic since s.2 came out but I didn’t have the time nor the inspiration to write him a story until I decided to first do a platonic fic and BOOM!! Cause let’s face it, Steve is the Babysitter and I could imagine him being the type of brother that I made him in this oneshot so I hope you guys enjoy this little fic and until next time :)

_________________________________________________________

“Look all I’m saying is that he could’ve at least had his parents drive to pick you up.” Steve said to me.

“I told you Steve, Tony said he was carpooling with his friends because his dad’s mustang was in the shop.”

“The shop right yeah.” He muttered.

“You know you didn’t have to drive Dustin and I to the Snowball, we could’ve asked his mom.”

“No, no I needed to make sure that little shit didn’t try anything with you.”

“Eww Steve what the hell! Dustin and I do not like each other like that. You know that.”

“Still I just wanna make sure that even when you’re dressed all……you know—”

“Barbie? A slut?”

“Hey! You are not that don’t ever call yourself that even if you’re joking. You-you look beautiful. Really you do. It’s just…..” he took a deep sigh as clenched the stirring wheel. “You don’t dress up this nice like most girls do. And I’d hate for those boys to suddenly see you and think they need to jump your bones.”

“They’re not like that Steve. Plus Max will have my back, and you know how savage we can be together.”

“Believe me I saw it for myself. All I’m saying is don’t let any boy try to take advantage of you. Especially this Bobby guy.”

“His name’s Tony.”

“That’s what I said, Darrell.” I rolled my eyes as Steve pulled into Dustin’s curb and honked the horn.

We sat there for a few minutes which allowed me to check my makeup, nothing too extreme just some blush, a bit of eye shadow to match my blue dress and checked to make sure my hair was alright.

“Hey, c’mon now.” Steve lifted the visor up. I looked at him annoyed but he assured me with a gentle look in his eyes “I already told you, you look beautiful.”

I’ll admit. He really was trying to be the brother he once was. Ever since he became ‘King Steve’ he never wanted anything to do with me. Said I was too nerdy to be with someone ‘cool’ like him. It really hurt to lose my brother like that to the poison that was popularity.

And he only seemed to get worse as the years went by, especially when he was involved with the whole Nancy ‘the Slut’ Wheeler vandalization at the local theater. But ever since he got involved with the Upside down, and he broke free of that dick Tommy Hagan and that bitch Carol, he started to change.

Especially this past year. He’s even tried to mend our bond but when the events of the Upside down began to come back with Will, the Demodogs and Max’s asshole brother Billy (not Upside down related, he’s just an asshole. Nearly killed me, Dustin and Lucas while we were biking home from school on Halloween). And Nancy broke up with Steve, he seemed a bit more—emotionally vulnerable.

He wanted to be with me but I had other problems at the time with Dustin and his ‘secret pet’. That’s when Steve, Dustin and I became the starting team in this whole demodogs thing, then one disaster fell after another until we were finally able to get the gate close permanently and get rid of all the demodogs.

Finally Dustin came racing down and I couldn’t stop but stare at the nest on top of his head.

“Thanks for the ride guys.” He said getting into the back seat.

“Uhh Dustin, what the hell happened to your head?” I asked him.

“What?”

“Your head. I’ll need to find Diana Ross’ number because I think I just found her hair.”

“Shut up!” Dustin snapped at me. “My hair does not look like hers.”

“You’re right you’re right. It actually looks like if Elvis was given a bad perm.” I laughed.

“Alright you little shit ease up on him. Ignore her Dustin, she’s just jealous because it took her five hours just to get her hair like this.” I punched Steve’s arm and ordered him.

“Just drive asshole.” As Dustin giggled from the backseat, Steve turned the car back on and he drove us to the school.

He pulled us in and we could see from the cat some of the Snowball decorations and could hear the music playing loudly.

“Hey Hover switch seats with me, I need to check the mirror now.” Dustin said.

“Dustin you know I was kidding right. You look great.”

“She’s right. Now remember, when you walk in there.”

“Pretend I don’t care.” Dustin said.

“You don’t care.”

“I don’t care.”

“Honestly why did you have to say that? That’s literally the worst advice ever Steve.” I scoffed rolling my eyes and shaking my head solemnly. “Dustin continues to listen to you and he’ll be single until he’s 30.”

“Okay that’s overexaggerating. Don’t listen to her Henderson. You’re gonna go in there, look like a million bucks, and you’re gonna slay them dead.”

“Like a lion.” Dustin then let out a purr to which both Steve and I cringed.

“Yeah don’t do that.” Steve told him bluntly.

“Ever again.” I also told him.

“Right.” Dustin agreed before he got out of the backseat and I followed suit. Soon pulling up behind us was a large black SUV it slowly came to a stop before the front door opened to reveal one of Tony’s friends, Andrew.

“Thanks mom. See yah at 10.” Soon the back door opened and more of Tony’s friends piled out until Tony was the last one to come out. My heart fluttered in my chest as my palms started to grow a bit sweaty.

“What you just gonna sit there and gawk (Y/n)?” Dustin said to me.

“Shut up Henderson.” I said. I took a deep breath and took about two steps forward only to stop and see someone else coming out of the SUV as well. It was the biggest bitch in the whole seventh grade, Jenna LoDuca and she was holding Tony’s hand.

“Thanks baby.”

“No prob babe. Ready to head in?” Tony asked her.

“Yeah thanks.” She said as they walked hand in hand towards the gym following behind Tony’s friends.

My heart shattered and fell into my stomach as I looked down. So he really didn’t care. He never cared to begin with. He didn’t even have the guts to tell me that he was gonna take out Jenna instead of me, he could’ve at least told me.

“(Y/n)? Hey it’s…..” Dustin started off but I didn’t want to hear it. I took off running as tears fell down my face.

I don’t know where I ended up but all I know was that I wasn’t at the back entrance where the dance was but I was still within the school grounds. I kicked the gravel under my feet harshly scuffing up the 1 inch high heeled shoes mom got me on her last business trip (even though I hate anything that isn’t a sneaker or sandal on hot days).

“(Y/n).” I sniffled and crossed my arms over my chest.

“I don’t wanna hear it Steve!” I snapped.

“Okay. Do you…….do you want me to take you home?” he asked in a nervous, unsure tone.

“No. Because then I’ll have done all this for nothing. Plus Jenna will rub it in my face Monday.”

“Wait she bullies you?”

“It doesn’t matter Steve. Just go home and don’t bother me with this anymore.” I walked back towards the school and tried to clean my face off as best as I could before entering the school with a big fake-ass smile on my face.

I met with the guys at the table and they were surprised to see me come walking in.

“(Y/n) you—you actually came in.” Mike said.

“Of course, why wouldn’t I?”

“Because of Je—” Dustin started off by saying but Max kicked him in the shin.

“Don’t listen to them, there’s more to life than stupid boys. C’mon (Y/n) let’s get something to eat I’m getting a bit peckish.” Max came over and took me away from the boys.

“Thanks Max, I owe yah.”

“I’ll remember that for later. But for real, don’t worry about those turd wards. You’re more badass than the two of them are popular.” Max said playfully shoving my shoulder with hers. That got a small smile out of me as we reached the food stand and we each got a plate of crackers, cookies and a cupcake.

As the dance went on, it soon came time for the slow dancing. At first Max declined Lucas’ offer to dance but since I could tell how long Lucas had probably rehearsed this, I told her it was okay so she and Lucas went to the dance floor together.

Then a girl from mine and Will’s art class came up and asked Will to dance (even though she called him Zombie boy). Then Dustin went over to a group of popular girls to ask one of them to dance leaving Mike and me alone for the first song (it’d just be awkward to dance together).

When the next song came on, we both took notice of El coming into the gym now, all dolled up and pretty. Mike stood up and walked towards her without saying a word to me (but truthfully he didn’t have to).

I was now all alone at my table, in fact looking around every one of my peers had a partner or were in their friend groups chatting along the sides of the gym. And just ahead of me I could easily spot Jenna and Tony dancing together, hell they pretty much remained in my visual range throughout the whole slow song montage.

It was then my favorite Lionel Richie song, Truly began playing through the speakers. I shifted in my seat uncomfortably and was just tempted to leave the gym and stay outside for the rest of the dance.

“Hey little Hover.” I looked up and saw my brother Steve wearing his homecoming tux and sporting his Risky Business shades.

“Steve? What are you…how did you get in here? You didn’t ask to volunteer.”

“I know. I’m not a volunteer. I’m your date.”

“Steve……”

“C’mon please. Don’t make me get on my hands and knees begging over this song cause you know I will. In front of all your friends and these people I’ll…..”

“Okay! Okay you big hairy oaf!” I said getting up and took his hand before we went over to the dance floor. We stood before each other and he took my right hand into his left while his right rested along my waist and my other hand rested on his.

“He wasn’t worth it.” I looked at him as he lead me in the first few steps of our slow dance. “Your tears. Boys this age are incredibly stupid and he’s gonna regret leaving you for that.” He gave a slight gesture of his head towards Tony and Jenna who were looking at us.

“Maybe it’s because I really don’t live up to the Harrington name.”

“Hey now…...”

“No Steve it’s true. I mean, look at her. She’s popular than me, she’s smart, and she’s way prettier than me.”

“Now that’s total bullshit.” He gave me a gentle spin before bringing me back into him. “First of all you are smarter than your older brother. In fact you’re too smart. I swear dad never shuts up about how my 13 year old sister is smarter than me, a senior in high school. Second, being popular really isn’t all it’s cracked up to be, especially if it changes you for the worst.”

He stroked a baby strand of hair from my forehead and tucked it back over my teased hair.

“It makes you cruel and makes you blind to what’s in front of you. I swear the last thing I remember was you clinging onto your teddy bear you won at the 4th grade fair and now here you are. A teenager in the works who I think is the most beautiful girl in all of Hawkins.”

“Even more beautiful than Nancy Wheeler?” I asked skeptically.

“Especially more than Nance.” He said without hesitation.

“Best not let her hear you say that.”

“Truthfully I think you were her favorite Harrington more than me.” I softly laughed. “No I swear, she’d always ask me when she’d see you. She even said at times she could trade Mike in for you.” Steve said through his laughing as he spun me outward our hands keeping a firm hold on each other before I spun back into him just as the song came to my favorite part.

Right as Lionel’s voice hit that crescendo, I was resting my head against my brother’s chest as my arms wrapped around his waist. I felt him slightly pick me up and he placed my feet gently on top of his as I heard him softly sing along to the ending of the song.

It brought me back to the early days of my childhood when Steve and I were the best of friends. Whenever I was sad or felt lonely from mom and dad’s constant work travels, Steve always played a slow song over dad’s radio, he’d have me standing on top of his toes and the two of us would sway like this as he’d sing the song to me.

After the dance was over, I was just getting into bed when I heard a knock at my bedroom door.

“Knock, knock.” Steve’s voice spoke from the other side of the door.

“Speak friend and enter.” I said.

“You know I don’t speak that nerd language.”

“Then you cannot pass.” I teased him. He knocked again and I couldn’t help but say, “I hear yah knockin, but you can’t come in!”

“(Y/n) at least tell me your decent.”

“Yes I’m in my jammies.” He opened the door and came right on in. “No respect for your sister’s room. Why do you think I asked you to speak the password? It’s not that hard, the password is Mellon.”

“I’ll slow dance with you, sing to you, even fight interdimensional monsters with you. But never on this green earth will you get me to speak that nerd language.” He said as he came over and sat at the edge of my bed.

“It’s not nerd language is Elvish. Sindar to be exact.” Steve buried his face into his hand groaning softly. “Hey, Dustin and I got you to watch Star Wars with us and you loved it. Which makes you a nerd too Stevie.”

“First of all just because I enjoy it doesn’t make me a ner—okay I see what you’re doing munchkin.” He said as he ruffled my head. “So, your first school formal. Besides the little jerk that shall remain nameless in this house, how was it before I got there?”

“It was alright. Mostly Max and I talked and of course the guys were giving Dustin a hard time with his hair. I think his natural curls just really threw the Farrah faucet spray off.”

“Yeah it did. But the kid needed the reassurance. Now correct me if I’m wrong but did he call you Hover back in the car.”

“Hover is my D&D character’s name. She’s a level 16 rouge assassin. Sometimes Dustin calls me that outside of the game.”

“So you used my nickname for you for your nerdy game?”

“Steve it’s not…..” he raised his hand and continued.

“I was just going to say it’s actually kinda sweet.”

“Really?”

“Yeah. Though I wish it was still between us. After all I’ve been calling you that since you could walk.” He said booping my nose. “Well it’s late, you should get some sleep.” At that point I let out a soft yawn and got under the covers. “Goodnight Hover.” He stood up but before he left my room I grabbed his hand. I sat up and hugged him before kissing his cheek. “What was that for?”

“For being my big brother.”

“But I…..”

“I know you’ve been an asshole for the past few years now but in the past year you really have been trying. I could see you putting in the effort to try and fix things between us. You could’ve stayed the way you were, or worst become like Billy.”

“I’d rather get eaten by one of those dog things than ever raise a hand to you like that asshole does to Max.”

“I know. That’s why I’m grateful to have a brother like you. You may not be smart, but you’re a damn good big brother and I love you for that.” A smile came at the corner of his lips as he ruffled my hair again before leaning forward and kissed the crown of my head.

“You’re not so bad either squirt.” He pressed his forehead against mine and continued, “And I love you too.” I smiled softly as Steve pressed another kiss to my forehead before we told each other goodnight and he left my room and I soon fell fast asleep.

Mini Fanfic #1086: In Love With My Two Boyz (Epithet Erased)

3:35 p.m. in the Middle of Jazz City'sTraffic.......

BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP

Giovanni: (Groans Before Picking his Head Up From the Steering Wheel) How long will it takes for this stupid traffic to get moving already!? We have places to be and minions to look after!!

Molly: (Sitting on the Passenger Seat) Well, given that school has just gotten out and how 3:30 is usually time for people go to and get off from work, I'd say it'll probably take us a little while to get back home.

Giovanni: ('Sigh') Figures. Well, I guess waiting a few more minutes wouldn't hurt anyone. It would be more bearable if the cars beside us wouldn't be so....(Pops His Head Out the Window to Glare at the Driver Beside His Car) FREAKING NOISY!!!

Guy in a Sunglasses: (Glares Back at Giovanni While Flipping him Off) UP YOURS, SOUP BOY!!

Giovanni: WHY DON'T YOU UP YOURS YOURSELF, DARRELL!? (Flips Off the Sunglasses Guy Woth Two of his Fingers)

Molly: (Softly Glares at Giovanni) Boss, could you please stop arguing with that Darrell guy before you get yourself in trouble? Who even is he anyways?

Giovanni: (Moves his Head Back Inside the Car as He Rolls his Window Up) Just some jerk in my class. Thinks he's allllll that just cuz he's rich and he's known as the "Ladies Man" of our class. Not even poor Spike could resist his dumb casanova charms.

Molly: Wait, Spike used to date him at one point?

Giovanni: Yeah, for like a week and a half. But as soon as he set his eyes on some popular chick the next day, he dumps Spike in front of everyone with NO hint of sorrow or remorse and made her storm out the classroom crying!

Molly: ('Gasps') He didn't.....

Giovanni: It's true! I immediately ran out after her and console her the best I knew how! And that jerk, Darrell, had the audacity to walk on by and brag about how cooler and prettier his new girlfriend in comparison while Spike was still grieving!

Molly: Who.....does that?

Giovanni: THAT'S WHAT I WANNA KNOW!? Who goes out one a date with someone for a week and a half, dumps 'em, then date someone else a second later, and brags about it so openly!? And why did it have to happened to Spike of all people!? She's the coolest, toughest, prettiest, and the most badass girl I know!! She deserves way more better than dealing with piece of crap! (Suddenly Notices Molly Staring at Him) What?

Molly: Boss, do you have a crush on Spike?~

Giovanni stares at Molly For a couple of seconds before his eyes starts to widens as blushes appears on both his cheeks.

Giovanni: WHAT!? Me having a crush on my own minion!? Where ever did you get idea from, Beartrap!?

Molly: (Smiles Softly) Well, you called her pretty and cool a few seconds ago~

Giovanni: I also called her tough and badass, that doesn't mean anything!

Molly: (Forms a Playful Smirk on her Face) It must be if you're giving her these sweet compliments?~

Giovanni: Yeah, well.....N-Nevermind about that! (Puts on a Fake Smile) How about we talk about your day at school instead.

Molly: (Immediately Pouts at Giovanni as She Crosses her Arms Together) Bosssss..... Are you changing the subject on purpose?

Giovanni: N-No! Of course not. I just forgot ask you about it when you got in the car a few minutes earlier is all.

Molly: .....Riiiiiight. Well, if you must know, school today was fine, minus the constant annoyance from Stink and Stonk of all people.

Giovanni: Wait. (Raises an Eyebrow in Confusion) Stink and Stonk? Is that like their nicknames or-

Molly: Nope. That's their actual names alright. Stinkson Bridge and Stonkester Evans

Giovanni: (Chuckles Lightly) Hahaa! Their parents must've suck at the naming development.

Molly: Says the guy who names one of his minions Car Crash.

Giovanni: (Gasps Before Glaring at Molly) Beartrap!Car Crash happens to be a wonderful codename i came up with, even yours!

Molly: Yeah, well......('Sighs in Defeat') Who am I kidding? All of the codenames you given us are leagues better than being named Stink and Stonk.

Giovanni: (Simply Nodded) And don't you forget, young lady, or we're gonna have problems.

Molly: (Rolls her Eyes) Yes sir......(Etes Starts to Widened at the Realization) Hey, wait a minute. (Turns Back to Her Boss) How come you haven't given Ben a codename yet?

Giovanni: Because Ben hasn't earned the rights to get one yet, A-DOI! I love him to pieces, but unless he does something noteworthy for the team, his name will remain the same!

Molly: (Shrugs) Harsh but fair. (Starts Forming a Smirk on her Face) And speaking of love.....

Giovanni: Oh no....

Molly: Do you really think a simple talk about school is gonna change the subject of your crush completely?~

Giovanni: (Sighs While Rolling his Eyes) A villain can only dream for the possibility...

Molly: And the potential possibility has faded to obscurity.

Giovanni: (Puts on a Small, Proud Smile on his Face) I gotta say, Beartrap, your smart mouthing skills are up the charts today.

Molly: (Smiles Back) Why, thank you!~ Now quit stalling.

Giovanni: Alright, alright, I'll stop. But if you must, then yes, you assumed correct. I....do have a crush on my minon Spike. For a while now actually. But that's not all! For you see, my dear Beartrap, I have another crush and his name is-

Molly: Crusher?

Giovanni: Yes! Crusher-Hey, hold the phone. (Raises his Eyebrows at Molly) How did you come up with that answer to quickly?

Molly: Uhh.....(Slowly Shrugs With an Awkward Smile on her Face) Lucky guest?~

Giovanni: Uh...huh. ('Sigh') But yeah, you've guessed right. I have a crush on Crusher too....A-And I couldn't help it, ya know? He's reliable, a sweetheart, a literal, huggable teddy bear.

Molly: He does give out the best hugs.

Giovanni: RIGHT!? Everything about him and Spike are just....WAY TOO amazing and perfect to explain properly. (Sighs as He Forms a Frown on his Face) But alas, sooner or later, I'm gonna have choose between the two. And I'll end up leaving the other sad and heartbroken no matter who I pick....

Molly: Or you could date both of them at the same time.

Giovanni: (Eyes Widened in Genuine Surprise) Seriously? You cam do that?

Molly: (Smiles Softly) Yeah. I remembered Trixie telling me all about it the other day. (Grabs her Chin While Thinking) I think the word they call is....Polyamory? It's where three or more partners get in a romantic relationship with one another.

Giovanni: And it's legal?

Molly: I believe so. Granted, it will take a whole lot of trust building and commitment to.make it work completely, but I'm sure you three have what it takes to make it last. (Smiles Brightly) You are the toughest pair of villains I know, after all.

Giovanni: Yeah......(Slowly but Surely Starts Nodding and Liking the Idea the More He Thinks About It) Yeah, i think i can see where you're coming from in all this, Beartrap.....The three of us are already tough and bad enough as individuals, but if we were to become a three-way couple, could use love, care, and devotion towards one another......(Puts on the Most Evilest Grin Imaginable) to RULE this city in our grasp and show the entire world just how menacing we can truly get, for my name isn't VINCENT MURDER, Sweet Jazz City's most newest, diabolical villain that will ruin anyone's day with a swing of bat towards the eyes! AHAHAHAHAHA! AHAHAHA-

'BEEEEEEEEEP'

Giovanni: (Rolls his Window Down to Glare at his Former Classmate) WHAT!?

Darrell: Traffic'a about to.move soon, Gio-DOOFUS!

Giovanni: It's pronounced GIOVANNI, you uncultured SWINE!

Darrell: UP YOURS!

Giovanni: UP YOURS TOO, CHEATER! (Flips Darrell Off Again Before Bringing his Head Back Inside the Car as He Rolls the Window Back Up Again as He Starts Driving Up) ('Sigh') Finally, we can get out of here. Our Boyz been waiting for us to return for to long now!.....(Starts Frowning a Little) But still, is it really possible for Crusherand Spike to return my feelings at the same time?

Molly: (Quick Put her Phone Down on her Lap With a Confident Smiles on her Face) I think it's possible. Just be yourself when you talk to them and everything will go smoothly from there, okay?

Giovanni: (Simply Nodded) Right. Well do, Beartrap!

Meanwhile Back at Crusher's House.........

Spike: OH MY GOD!

Crusher: IT'S HAPPENING!

Spike: HE'S CRUSHING ON THE BOTH OF US!

Crusher: HE THINKS I'M A LOVABLE TEDDY BEAR

Spike: HE THINKS I'M COOL AND RAD!

Crusher/Spike: (Excitedly Hugs One Another) WE'RE GONNA BE A THREE-MAN COUPLE!!!

Crusher and Spike squeals and jump around in pure happiness and tears as they received a text from Beartrap indicating that their boss has finally shown interest in the both of them in a romantic sense, all while the other members of Giovanni's gang watches them in the background.

Dark Star: ('Heh') Well, I'll be damned, this is actually happening

Car Crash: (Smiles Brightly) I know, right? I thought it would take them months to get together, but this is great!

Flamethrower: (Smiles Softly) Yeah. I'm really happy for those three knucklehead. (Forms an Bit of an Evil Grin on his Face) Which reminds me......

The three boys turn theirs towards Ben, dreading the fact that he lose a three on one battle between the boss and their fellow minions.

Ben: ('UGGGGGH') Fiiiiiiine! (Pulls his Wallet Out From his Pants Pocket) A bet is bet....(Opens his Wallets and Takes All of his Money Out of It's Pout to Give Them to Each f the Trio) It's not like I was gonna save up my hard earning cash for something important.....

Dark Star: You were going to use it to buy a new game, weren't you?

Ben: NO!......Probably......('Sigh') Look, there's this new Street Fighter game that's coming now in two months and it looks sick as hell, okay!?

Car Crash: Do you even know how to play fighting game?

Ben: ('Scoffs') Are you kidding? Of course I know how to play fighting game, Fred. All you had to do move around the area, guard, keep pressing the same button to make some sick combos, see if you can pull off a special move of some kind, and rinse and repeat until your the last one standing. Nothing too complicated than that am I right?

The three boys stares at Ben with dumbfounded looks on each of their faces in silence.

Ben: That's.....how you play most fighting games, right?

Car Crash: For anime games, maybe.

Flamethrower: ..........Oh you poor, naive simpleton.

Dark Star: And you wonder why the Boss didn't give you codename yet.

Ben: Oh shut up! He'll give me one......eventually.........

Patience by Guns N Roses can be 2 things. Either Curly missing his partner in the reformitory, or Sodapop missing his family and his partner at war. But with Soda's, theres a follow up. November Rain by Guns N Roses. Patience isnt that sad, but with November Rain paired to it makes the song sadder. But, we can make this even more depressing with Live and Let Die. Specifically with Pre Chorus and Chorus. I just- augh. My mind cant quite with imaginging Curly sitting around in the reformitory, thinking about his lovely partner. I find it sweet. (Im personally imagining his lovely partner as Loop.) And with Sodapop? Him pulling out pictures of his brothers, his friends, and his girl everynight before bed. He thinks to himself "For them. Thats why im doing this." And it scares him that he wont be able to see them again, but he imagines hugging his brothers when returning home. He imagines cracking a beer with the boys and seeing the smiles on their faces when hes returned home. He's probably called his lovely partner when he can, and always says "We just need a little patience." Months pass while he was drafted, and he gets shot on the battlefield. His mind wonders back to his brothers, upset that he has to leave them behind especially after Johnny and Dallas. One day, theres a knock on The Curtis door. 2 Soldiers, both in formal unforms. No one ever knocks on the door, but Steve answers it. "Hello. This is the Curtis residence, correct? We are on the behlaf of the United States Army. May we come in?" They say, and Steve nods as he lets them in. Ponyboy, who was laying on the couch, sits up and turns off the TV. "Are you Darrel Curtis?" An officer asked Steve, to which he shook his head. "No, he's not here right now. He's working." "Please, call him. Its important that all close kin are here. When Darry arrived at his house, he wasnt expecting two military officers to be in his living room. "Darrel Curtis?" An officer asked, to which Darry slowly nodded "Whats going on?" "Please, sit down." Darry complied, wearily. "I am Corpral Jones, and this is Private Staples. " He finally introduced themselves as they both stood infront of the group of boys. "The commandant of the United States Army has entrusted us to express his deep regret that your brother, Sodapop Curtis, was killed in action in Veitnam. " "Live and let die"

(this aint 100% accurate, i did my best)

OH MY FREAKING GOSH

My Adventures With Superman: “Adventures of a Normal Man, Pts. 1 and 2″ Review

Since the end of Superman: The Animated Series, Superman has not had an animated series solely dedicated to himself as an adult in the intervening 23 years. He’s certainly been part of team shows like Justice League/Unlimited or Legion of Superheroes (albeit as a teenaged Superboy) that had his character as a key component. And there have been no shortage of movies, live action or animated, that starred him either. But it feels like something’s been lost, especially on the live action end, where interesting ideas by Zack Snyder and Henry Cavill largely failed to coalesce into a compelling character (and also were a major contributing factor in the current disaster zone that is Warner Bros. Discovery, so, that doesn’t help). But we finally have a new series starring him in My Adventures With Superman, and its two-part premiere has finally surfaced. How do things shake out for the Man of Steel?

Rather than start with the standard origin, the series picks up with Clark Kent (Jack Quaid, The Boys, Star Trek: Lower Decks) arriving in Metropolis to start work at the Daily Planet as an intern alongside his roommate Jimmy Olsen (Ishmel Sahid, Cousins for Life). They quickly meet Lois Lane (Alice Lee, Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist), a fellow intern who dreams of bigger things, but is currently stymied by the Planet’s gruff editor-in-chief Perry White (Darrell Brown, Gabby’s Dollhouse). Lois drags Jimmy and Clark along on a story about military tech stolen by mercenary Leslie “Livewire” Willis (Zehra Fazal, Voltron Legendary Defender, Amphibia, She-Ra and the Princesses of Power), which pretty quickly spirals out of control. Clark quickly leaps in to save the day, and now the question of who or what this “Superman” is becomes THE question.

The first, most striking thing about My Adventures With Superman is its look and tone. Aided by the ever-capable Studio Mir, the character designs are bright, expressive, and far more rounded than the stripped-down, angular DCAU look of old. Clark in particular has an appealing sweet softness to his farmboy frame, Jimmy being black has been done before but never quite this excitable, and Lois is now a full-on tomboy with short hair and dark skin, much to the consternation of idiot YouTube grifter screamy men everywhere. This spreads downward to the tone, where producers Jake Wyatt (DuckTales), Brendan Clogher (Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles), and Josie Campbell (She-Ra) basically position the proceedings as a shoujo/josei romantic comedy that happens to have superhero action scenes.

Nothing against them, of course, they’re very well done (and fix a core problem I had with She-Ra in that the action scenes were, number one with a bullet, the weakest part due to jank). But just as much attention is paid to loving close-ups of Lois and Clark blushing as they realize they might LIKE like each other. Needless to say, I find it incredibly charming, especially after years of SnyderBros breathlessly insisting that Cavill’s dour, contemplative lonely god Superman who SNAPS PEOPLE’S NECKS is the best version of the character instead of some pussy who, I don’t know, saves kittens from trees.

(Full disclosure: Cavill is a fine actor in other projects and I have a great deal of admiration for Zack Snyder as a filmmaker, just...not them together for the most part)

In particular, a Clark who’s unsure of himself gives things a bit more of a mysterious tone than usual, particularly in the most intriguing plot hook so far: the Kryptonian ship that he came in contains the usual hologram of Jor-El, but he speaks in garbled Kryptonian that Clark can’t understand and is frightened by as a child. This, the ship creating The Costume (though Martha adds a humanizing touch with a belt and shorts), and a flash of a space battle when he unhooks a piece of damaged tech from Livewire’s back hint that it may be harder than usual to reconcile his Kryptonian and Earth selves. Which I’m not opposed to. While, as said in my STAS review, I don’t generally like the idea that Krypton was some cold unfeeling society with no value to Clark, this could be going a different, more interesting direction.

The awkwardness also adds great dividends to his interplay with Lois, who he generally has to keep up with anyway. Jimmy is also boosted in terms of already having an interest in extraterrestrial stuff, and he feels like a genuine part of the ensemble instead of a third wheel. The supporting cast is also going in some interesting directions, with a wearier Perry White than usual as a solid semi-antagonistic force, Livewire standing out as a smart, canny villain even before she busts out the Electro powers, and an excellent read on the Kents, with Jonathan and Martha warm and supportive, but fretting about losing Clark to this new persona. (Hey, Snyder? That’s how you make the Kents conflicted about Clark being Superman, not “idk, maybe you should let kids die rather than reveal your secret”)

All of this is aided by an incredibly strong voice cast. Quaid is my favorite Clark voice in a long time, affecting a soft dorkiness rather than going for a slightly formal patrician vibe. His comic timing is also great, such as in an early scene where he first meets Lois and is quickly embarrassed. Lee matches him well by switching out Lois’ usual businesswoman vibes for “overcaffeinated”, as well as self-aware enough to admit her mistakes, though not enough to cop to her immediately becoming smitten with Clark. Sahid is a funny, excitable Jimmy, taking the edge off what could have been an eye-rolling “CONSPIRACY THEORIST” gag, and his interplay with Quaid and Lee is often a highlight of the show. On the supporting end, Brown wisely dials down to be a straight man, Fazal is credibly tough and intelligent as usual, Kari Wahlgren gets those aforementioned great beats as Martha, and Azuri Hardy-Jones is immediately endearing as Flip Johnson, a gender-flipped version of the leader of Jack Kirby’s Newsboy Legion (now the NewsKIDS Legion, given some other gender-swaps in the group); she’s very much a believable scrappy kid, worrying at one point if they should call the President or “my mom”.

(Sidebar: the funniest, most unusual casting here is Chris Parnell as an anime twunk-ified Slade Wilson/Deathstroke, who appears as an ominous figure that tries to get intel out of Livewire, fights her, then captures and interrogates her with Amanda Waller and seemingly Sam Lane in attendance after Superman de-escalates the situation. Now, Parnell is an excellent voice actor with a long resume at this point, but his stock in trade is usually characters like Cyril Figgis on Archer or Jerry on Rick & Morty, who are most charitably described as weak-willed sexual obsessives. It’s a head-trip to hear him take on a role previously essayed by deep-voiced gravel pit legends like Ron Perlman, Will Arnett, Mark Rolston, and the late Miguel Ferrer. Though perhaps wisely, he doesn’t try to imitate those guys and leans into his own tones, just more of a smarmy asshole variant. His delivery of “We’re the good guys” at the end of the premiere is wonderfully insincere.)

Overall, My Adventures With Superman is immensely promising and I hope it has a decently long, unimpeded-by-Discovery-fuckery run. By going off-book but also appealing to the fundamentals of the character, it’s a fresh take that I am keenly interested in seeing develop and grow. Also, it’s just really dang cute, sue me.
