haayy! <33 May I please request platonic, and separate, headcanons for the outsiders gang with a younger reader (12-13-14) that is used to like everyone leaving her life suddenly (example: her father went to war and died, her closest friend moved out, another friend stopped talking to her) and she just like randomly has this habbit of cuddling up into them and shutting out in a 'memorizing state'?
/like she's just like memorizing everything about them because she knows fears that they'll end up leaving as everyone else and she won't have a chance to say goodbye so she just wants to memorize everything about them to remember them? poor reader's such a sweet traumatized bean that it's not even funny đ
authors note: this is not romantic, just platonic. in the ask, it basically explains what this is gonna be about. the reader is a child who basically has abandonment issues, and clings onto everyone she meets, specifically the gang. sorry this took a while to post đ
includes ponyboy, johnny, soda, darry, dally, two-bit and steve

PONYBOY CURTIS
the two of you met at school, becoming friends instantly
both of you were good at academics, and would open up to each other once in a while
the two of you would do your own therapy lessons and give each other advice once every week
so when the two of you went back to his house, you politely took off your shoes and greeted his brothers
he invited you to his room to hang out and have your emotional talk of the week and go study
âso⊠some crazy shit happened and i feel bad about it, but can i tell youâŠ?â you asked
he nodded and sat down on his bed right next to you
you told him about how a close friend ran away, your only good male friend that didnât treat you like shit
he apologized for it, and you almost started crying
he rubbed your back and said, âyou know itâs not your fault though, right? maybe he had some stuff going on..â
you sniffled and tears rolled down your face, you and ponyboys knees and sides next to each other
he told you to lay down so you could rest, and you pulled him down with you, cuddling up into him
he knew you always wanted to be close since it was just a safety thing, you felt loved when you were with someone physically
so he wrapped his arm around you, making you feel protected
you fell asleep and started to breathe normally, ponyboy planned to rest his eyes, but ended up sleeping too
JOHNNY CADE
you and johnny have been friends for a while, the two of you relating because of many things happening at home
your parents didnât care about you, as johnnys parents didnât care about him
the only thing they cared about was drinking, however, you and johnny tried as hard as you could to not get into that habit
johnny didnât go to school much, but you had to
you didnât have much friends when you were in school, and the only ones you had werenât really true friends
when you came to school one day, your friends and everyone else were staring at you, whispering to their friends
then one of your classmates came up to you, telling you âhey, you look confused. this is probably the last thing you wanna hear, but thereâs a rumor that you were kind of⊠having a thing with a teacherâŠâ
your eyes went wide and you stared at your classmate, telling them thatâs disgusting and not true, they said they knew but the whole school already didnât like you
so your friends ignored you for the whole day, and you were walking back to your house, johnny seeing you and calling out your name
you turned your head and saw him running over to you, asking what you were doing and if you had a good day at school
âno..â you mumbled, telling him everything that happened
the two of you sat down on a bench, not wanting to go to your houses
you confessed, âi care too much. i just do, and thatâs the problem. iâll want to be friends with the people who talked behind my back, the ones who created the rumors. theyâre two of the only people i have. i just⊠i want to leave.. sometimes..â
johnny knew how you felt, but he didnât want to worry you, he couldnât tell you
he felt the same exact way sometimes, always going back to people who hurt him, something you did too
you put your head on his shoulder and he looked down at you, your eyes closed
you were starting to fall asleep, so he put his head on yours and started to fall asleep too
the two of you needed each other, you understood each other like how no one else did
SODAPOP CURTIS
you were a little younger than ponyboy, and you actually tutored him, even though he was pretty smart
the two of you were friends and grew close, so you would come to his house at least twice weekly
you would see soda and darry, ponyboyâs brothers, and they would offer you food and activities for helping out their brother
soda noticed some things in you that he noticed in himself, you were naturally left out, and ponyboy told him that
you kept to yourself but people assumed you didnât have problems, but you and soda got into a big conversation once, one about emotions, and you didnât even remember how you started talking about them
you told him nearly everyone in your life walked out on you, like everyone forgot about your existence and no one cared about you
since you had no friends, people didnât want to be your friend, thinking thereâs probably a reason why you had none
âi-i donât know, i just get overwhelmed sometimes too⊠like i gotta prove to everyone that im worthy of their time, even though i know no one will listen to me. i donât know, itâs probably stupid..â you told soda
âi used to feel that way too, but you gotta make risks, right? try to be someoneâs friend, go look for relationships! you arenât gonna get anywhere if you donât try, huh?â he gave you a weak smile
âyeah⊠i guess youâre right. does the feeling go away though? wanting to prove yourself even though no one listens? so maybe even people just know you made an effort?â you asked him
he thought for a moment and nodded, âyeah, it goes away eventuallyâŠâ
you hugged him tightly and lay down on the couch, your feet on his lap
he put his hand on your calf in a comforting way, staring sadly into the distance, outside the window
he had lied, the feeling didnât even go away for him, he had that feeling for years, and it was still there
but he didnât want to worry you, you were just a kid, younger than ponyboy
soda grew to care about you as much as he cared about ponyboy, because he saw a part of himself in you, and felt a need to help you
DARRY CURTIS
he was already used to having to take care of his siblings, so he doesnât necessarily have a problem with taking care of you
you would sleep at his house a lot, in pony boys room since the two of you were closest in age
but youâd seek out for darry and not anyone else
you preferred to stay within arms length near darry, not feeling protected or safe without him
you really looked up to him, and he knew that, he knew about your troubles at home and how nearly every guy in your life walked out on you
you knew you wanted him to stay and take care of you, but you always had the thought in the back of your mind that he would abandon you
but he knew you needed a male figure in your life, so he decided to help you build boundaries and expectations in life
you werenât feeling the best, you had a school event where you had to present something in front of the whole school
you were nervous and needed someone to be there, someone to support you
but neither your mom nor dad came to visit you, and darry was busy working, plus you didnât tell him about the event
so when you went home to the curtis house, you saw darry on the couch
âhey kid, how was school? anything fun happen?â he asked
âum⊠i donât know, i had to do a presentation in front of the whole class..â you answered
âreally? were your parents there?â
you answered with a ânoâ and he asked, âwhy didnât you tell me about it? i couldâve gone, taken the day off.â
tears started to form in your eyes, you sat next to darry and cuddled into his side, nearly laying down
he rubbed your shoulder in a calming gesture, telling you everything would be okay
you sniffled, tears still dripping down your face, repeating âiâm sorry, iâm sorry..â for no reason at all, and he told you thereâs nothing to be sorry for
âthank you..â you mumbled to him, slowly falling asleep on the couch
darry just stared at you, feeling bad for you, believing no child should go through what you have gone through
DALLAS WINSTON
the two of you actually met at the police station, both of you being arrested for stealing
he managed to get out of the handcuffs because no one was watching him, and you started wandering around, the officers not cuffing you so you could feel a bit in control, you were a kid after all
dally walked over to you, seeing you secretly looking at files, looking for your name
âthe fuck are you in here for, kid?â he asked
âi took something from someone, i was gonna give it back but the bitch just called the fucking cops on me. what about you?â you answered
âi stole too. nameâs dally, but how old are you?â
you replied with ây/n. iâm 12.â he stared at you for a couple seconds, mouth opening a bit due to shock, and you got called over to be released
the two of you kept running into each other multiple times throughout the next few months, whether it was on the streets or at the police station
the two of you naturally got to know each other, and he thought of you as a little sister to protect
the two of you were talking about feelings, and how you didnât know how you felt, most of the time you could never tell what you were feeling, and you never knew how to explain it to someone because they wouldnât understand
except he understood, that was the one thing someoneâs said that heâs full on related to
you told him your mom left when you were young, but you never had the words to explain how you felt, and people thought you were a shitty person because of it, which caused you to have no friends
you confessed all of that while you were sitting on a chair in the police station, next to dally
he responded with âitâs okay not to know how youâre feeling. iâm sure you know deep down, you just donât know how to explain it. thatâs fine, youâre not a bad person for it. youâre still figuring things out.â making eye contact with you the whole time, trying to get you to understand
you looked at him the whole time with a look in your eyes that he thought was sad, but knew you wouldnât know that
you didnât say anything back, and put your head on his shoulder, closing your eyes and falling asleep
he put his head back to the wall, closing his eyes too, a protective arm around you and falling asleep
TWO-BIT MATTHEWS
he unexpectedly understands emotions very well, no one really expects him to have such a high emotional intelligence since his thing is making jokes and making fun of people
but when you walked his sister home, even though she was very young and you didnât even know her, he appreciated it
it became routine for you to walk her home to her and two-bitâs house after school, and her brother decided âmight as well get to know her if sheâs keeping my sister safeâ
so the two of you became close, and it was like you were his sister too
you started opening up about how you were never that protected in your life, so you wanted to protect those who never had it either
just so theyâd feel a little better and feel like people care about them, that person being two-bits sister
she was almost in second grade, used to walk alone after school, feeling unsafe
then you walked her home and continued to do that for years
when you walked her home one day, after you had a bad day at school, two-bit let you and his sister in
you were quieter than usual, so he asked you what was wrong after you took of your shoes and put your backpack on the ground
the sister went to her room, and you told two-bit, âi got jumped at school.â
his eyes went wide and asked, âwhat? by who, are you okay? i can patch you up if youâre really hurtââ but you said, âoh, iâm fine keith.. just donât worry about it, wasnât that big of a dealâŠâ
he argued with you, saying some people die by getting jumped, and you sat on the couch, sighing
he sat next to you, putting an arm around your shoulder and pulling you closer, mumbling âyou need to tell me when things like this happen. want me to beat them up for you?â
you smiled but shook your head, not wanting them to be hurt, because in your head, maybe they had a reason to do it
âyouâre an empath at heart, y/n, but itâs gonna get in your way one day.â he told you
you put your head on his side, whispering an âi know..â and falling asleep
he knew you always tried to back up how people felt, that things arenât their fault and maybe they had a reason for doing what they did, but could never forgive yourself for your own actions and mistakes
you were always the comforter, never the comforted, until you met keith
STEVE RANDLE
the two of you met at the DX, you coming nearly every day at the same time around 3:30pm after school
he started wondering why a kid as young as you would be walking around alone, to the same place every day
he decided to stay at work until you left, making sure no one came in to hurt you
then after you realized one of the workers were always staring at you, the two of you started to talk
he asked âwhy are you always here? shouldnât you be at home or something..â and you responded with âi donât like going home. my parents are mean, theyâre hardly even at the house..â
he stared at you, and continued the conversation, telling you heâd walk you home when youâd be ready
this continued for the next couple months, the two of you growing close and him becoming like a brother to you
once, you knocked on the door of his house, your face red and puffy with tear marks on your face
ââŠcan i stay here for tonight?â you asked quietly, and he responded with a nod and welcomed you in
he already had a bed set up for you since you would sleep over sometimes
he sat on his bed and asked âso, you gonna tell me what happened or not..?â eyebrows going upwards
you responded with, âso you know how my dad went into the military a few months ago, right?â and he nodded
âwell, he died.â
silence, steve looked at you, and he knew there was pain in your eyes
your father never payed attention to you anyways, and you didnât know why you were sad
you were close to breaking down again, so you ran into his chest, giving him a hug in the process
he hugged you back, picking you up onto the bed to keep hugging you, knowing you needed comfort
at some point, you were knocked out, already snoring
he knew you had a ton of shit going on, but didnât understand why you missed your dad even though he never cared for you
but you were young, and needed someone to look up to, so he decided to take on that role and teach you many things and life lessons
he didnât even know he knew everything he taught you, he just said whatever was on his mind

PONYBOY CURTIS
you havenât been in the right headspace for the past few weeks, so your grades started to slip
ponyboy would try and help you do your homework, even doing your homework for you but you wouldnât have the energy to even try
but then, you had a test and you tried real hard to get a good grade, studying and stressing all over it for days
after you took the test and got your grade back, seeing it was an A, you suddenly felt better
at the end of the day, you and pony decided to go back to your house to study
he noticed you were talking more and laughing, so he asked you what happened
you smiled and told him you got a good grade on your test, for the first time in a while
you switched the topic and continued smiling, and pony looked at you with love
he was glad that you were feeling better, and he suspected youâd stay happy for weeks
he sometimes gets confused when you randomly switch but doesnât say much about it
heâll ask you about it later but not in the moment, especially if other people are there too
he knows you like it when he reads to you, so when youâre feeling upset, heâll read to you so maybe youâll feel better
he doesnât want you to get frustrated if youâre not included in things, so heâll always invite you to his track meets and will tell you about all the drama that happens if you donât know about it
when youâre in a depressive state, heâll help you plan things and start a routine
he just wants you to feel in control so you know what to do and have a sense of purpose
he also asks soda and darry for advice since they know youâre going through stuff, so occasionally theyâll help you out too
JOHNNY CADE
his parents were yelling at him so he went to your house, he knew his parents wouldnât care
the only thing he was worried about was the fact that you were still in a depressive state, and he didnât want you to feel more sad because of what he was going through
so when he knocked on your door and you answered, your eyes lit up and you smiled widely
he was shocked and didnât know why you were so happy, but smiled back at you
you told him you were happy to see him unannounced, but asked why he came by
he told about what happened, so you invited him in and made cupcakes together
he knows what itâs like to be in a depressive state, so heâll always try and help you feel in touch with the world
he tried to help you focus on things more and really take in information while paying attention
like focusing on how things move or sound, how strong smells are and how loud things are, how specific tastes are sweet, salty, hot, etc
when youâre happy, he tries to keep you like that by randomly checking up on you to see how youâre doing
heâll also offer to do things for you like carrying or cleaning things for you
he just wants to make things easier for you, but of course that doesnât always works
johnny loves you and makes sure you know it, always telling you youâre amazing and beautiful, that he appreciates everything you do, etc
SODAPOP CURTIS
you were at sodaâs house, waiting for him to come back from work
you werenât feeling that great but were trying your best to make him think you were at least feeling ok
when you hear the door opening and a creak, you look over to see soda with a dairy queen bag and two drinks
seeing his smile and the fact that he thought about you enough to bring you food made you switch
you got up from the chair and walked over to him, he put down the food
you put your hands and cradled his face while giving him a long kiss, then tracing your hand down his chest
after the two of you pulled away from the kiss, he looked down at you with a smile and said âglad youâre feeling better, sweetheartâ
heâs naturally a very bubbly person and is a romantic at heart, you cannot change my mind
he literally worships the ground you walk on and will do that no matter how youâre feeling
if youâre feeling extra bad and hardly have the energy to get out of bed, heâll take some days off work to spend more time with you
he just wants you to feel good but doesnât always know how to handle it
he knows what itâs like to feel unheard, so he checks up on you a lot no matter how youâre feeling
when youâre happy, the two of you will go on cute little dates together
heâll buy you a pretty necklace for your date and itâs an S for his name
when youâre angry, heâll always try and calm you down without yelling
you try your best to not yell either since both of you know it doesnât get you anywhere
DARRY CURTIS
you werenât feeling that good for the past couple weeks ever since pony and johnny ran away
you stayed at darryâs house for a while, he was worried sick about the two boys
then you heard the phone ring, so you looked at darry, and he motioned you to go answer it
you got up off the counter and into the living room, where the phone was ringing loudly
picking up the phone, you said, ây/n l/n, what do you need?â
the person on the other end asked, âis darry curtis there? his brother and friend are in the hospital.â
your eyes went wide and you felt happy that the boys were back, but scared as to why they were in the hospital
you put the phone down without answering back, and ran to darry to tell him what had happened
he yelled for soda to come down since they had to go see pony and johnny in the hospital
he immediately went out the door and drove you two to the hospital, and you went to the floor where pony and johnny were
when you saw pony sitting on the chair, you smiled widely
darry was happy to see you feeling good again, but was still worried about why pony and johnny where there
he can get really impatient and frustrated with you at times but tries to stay calm because you canât control how you act sometimes
most of the time, he knows when youâre struggling and tries to help you
so sometimes heâll schedule an emergency therapy if youâre in a really bad mental state for whatever reason
he really cares about you but doesnât always have the time or patience to try and reason with you
when youâre happy and feeling good, heâll take you out to different places
sometimes itâs a restaurant and sometimes itâs just a little activity for you two to do together
he really likes cooking, so heâll make food for you and will try new recipes
heâll ask you to help him out with cooking since he knows you like to be a part of things
when youâre feeling sad, he tries to get you out of that mindset as soon as possible
heâll still include you in hangouts in hope that youâll feel better
DALLAS WINSTON
you were in one of your episodes, specifically one where you were mad all the time, which lasted for a few weeks
you knew you couldnât do much about it, but dally would always try to get you out of the pissed off mindset
he always tried to make you feel better, even though most of the time, it wouldnât do anything
he still wanted you to know he loves you, even if you wouldnât appreciate it in the moment, you would appreciate it later when you were feeling better
today was your birthday, however, so dally took you out for dinner and actually paid
that got you out of your mad mindset, and he saw the moment you switched over to being happy
seeing that mightâve made him the happiest heâs ever been, knowing that he was the one to get you to switch over
you smiled and apologized for how you acted a few days ago, the two of you got into an argument
he brushed it off and said it was okay, and the two of you continued your dinner
when you were in your depressive episodes, he would help you shower, eat and go on walks since you hardly had the energy to get up
he would bathe you and buy you meals so you could eat
making you go outside at least every few days, the two of you would go on walks since he wanted you to get fresh air
when you were feeling mad, and you would feel that way for weeks, he would mostly stay away even though it was difficult for him
you were feeling happy and told him that if you were being all pissy at him, he should just not talk to you
you didnât want to ruin your relationship or say something you didnât mean, so you donât him not to interact with you at those times
he still would, though, he would do little check ups on you to see if you were feeling okay, or if you wanted anything
if you were happy, he tried to keep you in that state for as long as he could
he thought you would stay happier if he gave you things, a lot of attention, and was overall with you more
it did work for a bit, until you randomly switched over, but he didnât understand why
he would get impatient and frustrated with you at some points, but always managed to push through since he cared about you so much
TWO-BIT MATTHEWS
feeling bad the past couple weeks, two-bit decided to invite you to hang out with the gang
he just wants you to get some fresh air and to socialize with others, since you hadnât in a few weeks
all of you were getting milkshakes at a diner and were talking
you drank a bit of your milkshake when two-bit started talking
then he made a joke about someone at another table, and of course everyone laughed, including you
he looked to you and smiled, weirdly proud of himself for getting you to feel better
heâd always try to make jokes even if you werenât feeling the best
when you arenât feeling that well, heâll bring you to the drive-in so you can spend time together and just to try to help you feel better
STEVE RANDLE
the two of you were randomly talking while he was on his break at work, you decided to visit him at the DX
both of you were sitting down in the back, eating burgers and drinking soda
he asked you how school was going for you, and your eyes lit up
you started moving your hands around a lot and kicking your feet, talking about a fun project you were working on with your friends
he listened and continued asking questions in order to lengthen the conversation since you seemed excited
you didnât think much about how you were down and now you were happy, so you started talking about some drama between a boy and girl in your class
he was normally the one to talk, but enjoyed hearing you talk more than you normally did
when youâre not feeling the best, heâll bring you into the DX so you can help him fix up cars
itâs just a new thing for you to learn and to hang out with each other
heâs weirdly smart in some ways, so heâll occasionally help you with history, since he was always into that
when you were feeling really happy, heâd invite you to hang out with the gang
he knew you appreciated it and would invite you whenever he could
(if you canât tell, i never have ideas for steve so sorry)

SODAPOP CURTIS
soda and steve were at work when you drove into the small parking lot for the DX
opening the door and getting out of the car, you walked into the shop, where soda was at the register
you asked if you could get soda and some chips, and he thought you were beautiful, you complimented him on his eyes and he smiled at you, telling you your hair was the best heâs ever seen
âhey, is steve here?â you asked soda, and for a second he thought you were his girlfriend
he yelled for steve, and he came out of the back since he was on his lunch break, he groaned and walked to the front
ây/n? the hell are you doing here? arenât you supposed to be atââ you cut your brother off before he could continue
âmom and dad are pissed that you snuck out last night to hang out with your friends. donât do that shit again though, i donât want you to get in trouble or hurt.â you said, and there was a pause of silence
soda asked if the two of you were siblings, and steve asked how he didnât know
you had to get back to work, so you gave soda a twenty dollar bill tip, saying goodbye with a smile
he smiled back at you and waved, then steve warningly said, âsoda.â and he looked back at your brother, trying to look confused
he stared soda down but then walked to the back, him following steve
âwhyâd she have all that money? plus you never told me you had a sister! how old is she?â he kept asking steve multiple questions, making it hard to answer
âsheâs really good at school. people have payed her to participate in whatever fucking event theyâre holding, plus sheâs got a good job. sheâs 16, turning 17 soon, and you arenât getting with her.â
âwhyyyyy???!!â soda complained, and steve told him itâs embarrassing to have his best friend be dating his sister, plus it was already embarrassing to have you barge into the workplace and scold him
soda kept thinking about you, and one day decided to randomly go to steveâs house
he was originally gonna ask if he wanted to hang out with the gang, but was secretly hoping to have you open the door and talk to him
when he knocked on the door and you answered, wearing a tight white tank top with a pink bow, along with striped pink and white pajama shorts, his face went red
he smiled and chuckled, asking if steve was home
you said yes and motioned him to come into the house, so the two of you talked after you yelled at steve to come downstairs
when steve came down, you told him, âif you and soda are planning to go around town, take my car. donât want you getting jumped by some random people. do you have that blade i gave you?â
soda admired how much you cared about your brother, and how funny and beautiful you were
he started to realize he liked you, but knew your brother would be pissed at him, but he kept talking and trying to pursue a relationship with him
one day, nearly a year into talking, he asked you if you could go on a date with him
he saved money for a restaurant, planning to go there with you
the two of you were talking about more emotional things, and bonded over some things you had going on in your heads
then he confessed to you, and you reciprocated the feelings
he decided he would ask your brother âfor his blessingâ before dating you, and steve responded with a âare you kiddinâ me? my sister? whatâ god, fine. she talks about you nonstop anywayâŠâ
the two of you started dating and you were both so happy about it
you started talking to soda about how steve is always telling you about funny things that happened at work
youâd purposely embarrass steve since the two of you were siblings, whenever he did something âbigâ you would say âawww, my little brothers growing up!!â or âmy little brothers acting so old now :(â or randomly picking fights with him for no reason
soda understands since heâll pick on pony sometimes too, just because theyâre siblings though
you always make sure steve and the gang have weapons and protection before going into a rumble or simply walking on the streets
DARRY CURTIS
you were dropping off steve at the curtis house when you saw a tall brunette who was really fucking muscular
you walked your brother into the house, but stayed outside because you didnât want to come in unannounced
before he went into the house, you asked him if he had his blade on and spare house keys
he groaned and rolled his eyes, mumbling yes and walking into the house
you drove back home and stayed there for a few hours since you had a day off of work
steve told you to pick him up around 8pm, so around 7:30, you got into your car and drove to the curtis house
when you opened the door and walked to the front door, the muscular guy opened up the door and invited you inside
you walked inside and thanked him, so you asked him who he was and what his relation was to steve, you were just trying to look out for your brother
âsodas brother. and youâre his..?â darry said, and you replied with âoh, iâm his sister. not surprised he hasnât talked about me, donât think he likes me embarrassing him in front of his friends.â you giggled
he smiled at you and asked you more about your life, where you worked and how old you were, if you had any other siblings besides steve, your interests, etc
he enjoyed hearing you talk about yourself, then you asked him about himself, and he felt a warm feeling
people didnât care about him since they knew he could handle himself, so he was glad that someone cared
the two of you continued talking and steve and soda came down from sodas room, and you said âtook you long enough. you alright?â to your brother
he nodded and continued talking to soda, so you gave darry your number, suggested that he should call you sometime, or youâd call him
the two of you would call each other when you had time, which was rare, then you started hanging out together, first in a group then one on one
he had a difficult time identifying what feelings he was feeling, he hadnât felt something like how he felt about you in a long time
then he realized he liked you, so he started awkwardly flirting with you and complimenting you constantly
you loved the attention, especially from him, so you flirted back and even kissed him on the cheek once when leaving his house
the next day, after a long conversation, he asked you to be his girlfriend
you said yes, and the two of you talked about how it could be difficult sometimes to be the older sibling
your feelings were ignored and you were expected to take care of your younger siblings, and darry related too
the two of you would help each other out with your siblings, knowing it could be highly stressful at times
youâd even take care of each other, and soda told steve that darry told him that youâre the best partner ever, and he feels bad that youâre always so worried about steve
sometimes he would think you didnât care about him, but after soda told him that, he started appreciating your presence more
DALLAS WINSTON
after you dropped steve at the curtis house, you heard there was a huge rumble between many greasers and socs
you drove back to the curtis house and knocked on the door
you heard an annoyed voice saying, âman, who the fuck is it??â in a new york type of accent
hearing loud stomps coming closer and closer to the door, you backed up
the door swung open and a tall guy with brunette-blonde hair was standing there, blood on his face
he looked at you up and down and said quietly, âshit, man, you steveâs sister?â and you nodded, asking him if he was okay and if steve was there
he said âyeah.. iâm fine, uh, your brothers here, iâll call him⊠steve!! your sisters here, said youâre in trouble!!â
you smiled at the last part, and he made small talk with you
he told you about the big fight that had just happened, and you brought medical supplies
you told him he should get some help, that heâs bleeding out and he needs to stop the bleeding immediately
he said he was fine and asked what your name was, you told him and he said âdally.â introducing himself
you sighed and told him, âjust⊠hang on, i have medical supplies in the trunk. iâll go get it, you seem like youâre on the edge of death.â mumbling the last part
after you brought the supplies back, you gave the items to dally, knowing he wouldnât let you patch him up
he looked up at you after he sat on the couch, âthanksâ
he didnât trust you enough to let you get super close to him, but already knew you were a good person with good intentions, so he gave you his number
steve came out of the bathroom and asked what you were doing here
âthe fuck is wrong with you? you couldâve died, and donât tell me you didnât get hurt because i know you did.â you scolded
âwhatâ jesus, sorry sis i didnât know you cared so damn much. are we going home or what?â he stormed out of the front door
you sighed and had a sad look on your face, so you said bye to dally, you knew you had to go
he said bye and told you to call him later
the two of you talked a lot over the next one and a half years, which he liked you for most of the time you knew each other
he didnât know if it was genuine love or someone he would just mess around with, he then realized he wanted to be in a long term relationship with you
then, after he got into another fight with a couple of socs, he went back to buckâs bar, which is where you were
since the two of you formed a very special bond, you were worried about him and said âdal, i know you probably donât want me to but i need to patch you up, you donât look like youâre in the best condition right now.â
he sat down on his bed while you wiped blood from his face and his chest, his face turning a bit red because of the vulnerability involved
he mumbled a quiet thank you, and you heard him, said a âyouâre welcomeâ
it was in that moment that he knew he wanted to spend the rest of his life with you
his eyes looked up at you with vulnerability and love, both of you knowing heâd never show that side of him to anyone else but you
he blurted out, âwill you be my girlfriend?â and when he saw the look on your face, he almost regretted it
then you put your hands gently on his face and kissed him, saying yes
he wrapped his hands around your waist and pulled you onto his lap, but you sat next to him, not wanting him to get any more hurt than he already was
he really appreciated the way you cared for steve whenever he got hurt, but knew he might get annoyed if it was persistent
youâd always ask dally if he had the things he needed before going out on the streets, even though you knew he could handle himself
he always loved how you worried about him, and he would worry about you every day when he wasnât with you
he felt the safest in your arms, in your presence, he knew you would always try your best to keep him safe and loved
TWO-BIT MATTHEWS
one day, steve asked you to drive him to the drive in, planning to watch another elvis movie
you said âjesus christ, steve, this has been like⊠the third elvis movie in the past five months, the fuck is going on?â and he laughed about it, you drove him to the drive in
when steve got out of the car and started screaming his friends names, in hopes of finding them, two-bit ran up behind him and screamed in his ear
steve yelled and the two of them started playfully hitting each other, and you smiled, knowing your brother found someone he could act like that with
then his friend looked over to see you, and started walking towards you while steve was trying to get him to stop
you looked at him, still in the car, and he introduced himself and said âyouâre steveâs sister, right?â and you said yes, the two of you joked around
you found out he was really funny, and he found out you were funny too, your humor complimented each others in weird ways
he thought you were real pretty, but thought you wouldnât go for a guy like him
but he won you over on the first day because of his humor and poor flirting
steve eventually walked away to go find his other friends, while you and two-bit were still talking, and you yelled after him, âstevie, donât do some stupid shit! donât wanna have to do lots of paperwork!â
when you gave him a nickname, he knew he had to ask you out
it was nearly a year after the two of you met in the drive in, and you, surprisingly enough, asked him to be your boyfriend
he said yes and joked about how steve was gonna be so pissed at both of you
you told him about times you wanted to confess to him, but either didnât have the time, too nervous or steve didnât want you to talk to his friends
the two of you kept laughing about things your younger siblings have done, like two-bits sister smearing nutella all over her face
and you got mad at your brother when you two were younger, so you printed out a photo of steveâs face and threw eggs at your house, hoping heâd get in trouble
sometimes two-bits sister would hang out with you two, and sheâd always tease her brother about talking about you so damn much
she almost knew everything about you even though you hardly knew her
she loved you though and you were so happy about it
sorry if this is inaccurate! i actually have no siblings so idk how this is supposed to work LMAO

word count: 0.5k
PONYBOY CURTIS
wonât think of you differently if you have a different body type, still continues to judge based on personality
he knows people, especially teenagers his age can be rude so he defends you when he can
your body doesnât change anything in the relationship, heâs not the person to outwardly seek touch whenever he sees you
though if youâre feeling odd about your body, heâll tell you how much he loves you and opts to spend more time with you
JOHNNY CADE
he lays his head on your stomach all the time, your plush skin comforts him
youâre the person who gives him the most comfort, he feels safe around you
johnny knows what itâs like to be insecure about his looks so if youâre insecure, he showers you with compliments and gives you a lot of attention
SODAPOP CURTIS
heâs so cheery and in love with you, especially loves your stomach because itâs so soft, kisses the area a lot
heâs naturally a person who loves physical touch and always has a hand on you in some way
heâll softly rub your stomach or keep a hand on your chest, sometimes for your comfort or his own
DARRY CURTIS
darryâs the strongest person you know and thinks your body is beautiful
heâs mature so he thinks past build and instead focuses on your personality
when he hugs you, he likes to feel skin-to-skin and grips the area of your waist
heâll softly place his hand on your chest and hold you with his other arm
DALLAS WINSTON
loves grabbing you by your hips, your skin is so soft and he softly rubs the area
will continuously beat the shit out of anyone if theyâre rude to you
probably playfully smacks your ass sometimes just because he âfeels like itâ but not always in a sexual way
TWO-BIT MATHEWS
heâll lay his head on your thighs a lot, will sometimes trace patterns on the space while watching a kids cartoon
if you ever feel insecure then heâll tell you thereâs a lot of people who look worse than you, makes fun of others to make you love yourself more
heâll sternly tell you not to talk bad about yourself because youâre the most beautiful person in his eyes
STEVE RANDLE
he wraps his arm around your shoulder all the time
probably grabs your ass sometimes, not always in a sexual way but in a possessive and loving way
if youâre insecure about your body, he genuinely doesnât understand why and never wraps his mind around why youâre unhappy with your body
nonetheless, he comforts you and kisses you everywhere
hii! can u do a pt 2 to âwhy do you cryâ where perhaps the reader moves on from Dally to another person? <3
pairing: sodapop curtis x reader
summary: after dally hooks up with sylvia, you break up with him and move on
warnings: mentions of cheating, cussing, violence
authors note: sorry this is super short and i havenât posted in forever. hope u guys enjoy đ

you decided to drop by the DX so you could buy a few snacks and hopefully see soda, your boyfriend. months have passed by since dally cheated on you, but youâve moved on, not without encouraging words from the whole gang.
although they are still friends with dallas, they donât approve of him cheating on you. dallyâs been getting a ton of shit from the others and still hasnât apologized to you.
you havenât forgiven him for cheating on you, but youâve gotten past the break up itself and not being in a relationship with him anymore.
itâs a mutual agreement that your relationship with soda is a secret, except steve, who knows because soda accidentally blabbed to him. the two of you donât want dally coming for either or you, you being with one of dallyâs friends and for soda being with his ex girlfriend.
because your mind was occupied the whole time you were walking to the DX, you hadnât realized you arrived. as you begin to focus on the present, you open the door, flinching at the hotness of the metal.
you quickly walk in, sighing as you feel cold air envelope your skin. you look up to see steve grinning at you, his arms are crossed as he leans on the counter. he turns back and yells, âsoda! your girlâs here!â
as you walk up to the counter, you hear footsteps as you see soda walking towards you and steve. he smiles at you, speeding up and walking to the front of the counter. he beams, ây/n! man, iâm so glad to see you after so long!â he wraps his arms around your waist, leaning down and placing his lips against yours.
when the two of you move away from each other, you look to see steve in the back, giving you and soda some time together. the two of you begin to talk, he guides you to behind the counter, patting a spot so you can sit there.
you hop onto the counter, swinging your legs as you listen to him talk. around forty-five minutes pass when you hear a bell ring, a sign that a customer walked in.
sodaâs face turns pale as he avoids looking at you, you turn around. dallyâs face is horrified, he yells âare you fuckinâ kiddinâ me, man!?â he points an accusing finger at soda.
âyou guys broke up! you were in the wrong for cheatinâ on her, dally!â your boyfriend argues back. you stay silent as they continue to argue, backing up soda when needed.
steve stomps out from the back, raising his voice, âhey, what the hell is goinâ on?â he sets his eyes on dally and mumbles, âoh.â
âdid you know âbout this, steve?â dallyâs eyebrows are furrowed as his face turns redder by the second.
steve yells, âthey didnât tell you because youâd fuckinâ act like this, dally!â
before the criminal can respond, your boyfriend suggests, ânow how âbout you leave, dallas? we donât want you here.â
at sodas words, his eyes narrow and he glares at soda. his fists ball up, he takes a swing at soda, he luckily dodges it and grabs your hand, guiding you to the back.
steve walks up to dally, pushing at his chest and landing a punch on his jaw. he begins to bleed, they yell at each other constantly until steve lands another punch. he forces dally out of the shop, he runs, probably to the curtis house, soda guesses.
the interaction between dally and the three of you, and he hardly spared you a glance. you ask steve and soda, âare the two of you okay?â both of them nod, steve says heâll call darry and tell him not to let dallas in.
steve walks to the back, you hear him talking to sodas older brother. silence fills the air once he hangs up.
soda shrugs and grins, âwell, at least we donât gotta keep our relationship âway from the gang now, huh?â
you chuckle, he places his arm over your shoulders and you reply, âguess so!â
Hii I was wondering if youâd write gang when itâs your birthday? I think itâs be really cool since my birthdays the 27th!! (your inbetween pony and Johnny age wise)
pairings: ponyboy x reader, johnny x reader, sodapop x reader, darry x reader, dally x reader, two-bit x reader, steve x reader (separate platonic)

PONYBOY CURTIS
pony looks up to you because youâre a bit older than him and probably the best role model out of the gang
as he canât get you much because he doesnât have a job and he doesnât have money, heâll somehow get you a book and write you a poem or letter
writing things is like his love language, if he gives you a note or writes a poem or a letter for you, he wrote it with his whole heart
he doesnât really think much about getting you food or bringing you somewhere, itâs more about giving you something he took time to make
JOHNNY CADE
johnny canât give you much because he doesnât have money, will probably steal something from a store or restaurant for you
but heâll talk with you late at night at the lot, feeling sorry he canât get you much
you appreciate that he risks getting in trouble just so the two of you can talk for longer, doesnât necessarily do much for your birthday though
instead of giving you a lot of items and money for your birthday, he talks to you a lot throughout the day about how old you are
SODAPOP CURTIS
on your birthday, soda gives you a cute letter and bakes you cupcakes or a small cake only for you
probably arrives at your house and wakes you up just to say happy birthday, a rainbow party hat on his head and a party horn
makes it everyoneâs deal that itâs your birthday, takes you to do crazy stuff in restaurants and gets you food for free because âitâs your fucking birthdayâ
also makes you feel like youâre the most special person in the whole world on your birthday, basically gives you nearly everything you want because itâs your day
DARRY CURTIS
darry probably makes you chocolate cake or cupcakes with his ingredients, although whenever you come over, you have chocolate cake, it feels special when you have it on your birthday
because youâre young, heâll rant about how you should cherish your days, it wonât be soon before all your time is gone and to take advantage of being young and having fun
sometimes his family would go out and get food for him and his brothers birthdays, so he gets you food or a little snack
heâll get you a letter too, it says something like how youâre a good kid and and you can come to him if you ever need to
DALLAS WINSTON
dally hardly even celebrates his birthday, so if he gets you something or remembers, youâre lucky
he probably swipes you a gift from your favorite shop, he doesnât care enough to pay for it and is more focused on getting to you than how he got the item
he might get you a letter if your relationship is truly important to him, writing only a few words, believing itâs the thought that matters
tells you that you better appreciate it, if you voice that you donât, heâll say something about his parents never getting him anything for his birthdays
TWO-BIT MATHEWS
two-bit tries to make you as annoyed but as happy as you can on your birthday, also making it everyoneâs business
tries to get you as much as you can just by telling people âoh, yeah, itâs her birthday. how old are you turning again? wow youâre super old!â even though heâs older than the seniors as a junior
swipes you a ton of random shit, brings you to the drive in just to mess around with some socs
he either babies you or treats you like an adult just to make you annoyed, heâll do whichever one gets you ticked off, telling you, âsoon enough, youâll be able to drink beer! man, iâm gettinâ old.â
STEVE RANDLE
steve gives you some money so you can get something you want for your birthday
doesnât really do much for your birthday, he might give you a letter or a note of some sort but very few words
at most, heâll take the day off to hang out with you on your birthday
or if you really want to you could hang out with him at the DX and take a lot of free stuff, he lets you because itâs your birthday
could i request something about reader who is a curtis sister, about 12 years old, and sheâs like suzy bishop from moonrise kingdom? c: (sorry itâs kinda specific)
authors note: i researched about suzy bishop, and my resources said sheâs fierce, angsty and has a temper. so basically, thatâs what the reader is like, a curtis sister too. iâm sorry i havenât been posting at good times, iâve been very occupied with volunteering at my schools graduation and getting ready for the end of the year. this is my longest post so far!! đ
includes ponyboy, johnny, soda, darry, dally, two-bit and steve

PONYBOY CURTIS
you and your brother, ponyboy were walking home from school, you two saw a blue mustang, knowing it was a couple of socs
the two of you knew what to do in this situation, so you sped up, trying to get to your house quicker
four of the socs jumped out of the car, the driver still driving
two of them grabbed your arms and two grabbed your brotherâs, pinning ponyboy to the ground
he started screaming for his brothers, while you stayed quiet, a knife held to ponyboyâs throat
âmotherfuckerââ you mumbled, kicking one of the socs in the shin, forcing both of them to let go of you, kneeing one in the dick and punching his face, he fell to his knees in pain
you kicked the one on your left in the stomach, getting a rock nearby and hitting his face with it, blood dripping down the socs face
the socs that were holding down ponyboy looked at you in fear, looking at each other for a brief second, then you glared at them and ran towards them
the ones who were holding you down ran away to the car, and the socs who were with ponyboy ran when you came towards them
all the socs were gone, and the two of you were safe, you looked at your brother with worry, not blinking, however he thought you were mad at him
you grabbed him by the shirt, lifting him up and continued walking
he eventually caught up to you and said, âthanks, sis..â so you nodded and didnât say anything else
you were hard to read, and he hated that, he never knew if you cared, and sometimes thought of you like how he thought of darry
pony always wondered if darry loved him, and thought of his âcold, pale eyes,â a way he would describe you at times, cold
since you were ponyboys little brother and were close in age, just a two year difference, the two of you naturally became close
you told each other everything, however it could be a problem sometimes since he was more emotional than you, and at times you hardly showed any feelings
even acting cold towards people if they pissed you off for some reason
you had a temper but tried not to yell at anyone you were close to, not wanting to say something you didnât mean
but you felt a very wide range of emotions, even very extreme ones like getting angry to the point of hurting others
you were insulted easily, so ponyboy always back you up and stand up for you if someone said something rude, or something you interpreted as disrespectful
you showed your care for your brother in little ways, like helping him with his homework or bringing him a glass of water, slipping money into his pocket when going out, etc
ponyboy loved you even though you were hard to reason with, you had strong opinions and wouldnât back down from them, if he had to say one negative word that described you, he would say âstubbornâ
but he loves being around you because of how loyal you are, you would always stand up for others if you truly loved them
JOHNNY CADE
you were with johnny in the lot, talking with each other about some funny things that happened with the gang, him giggling while you kept a straight face
even though he was supposed to be ponyboyâs best friend since they were closer in age, he decided to befriend you so you two could become closer, to understand each other more
he always had a sad look in his eyes, while you had a look that made people think you had no purpose in life, but in a ânothingâ type of way
so when johnny told you âoh, uh, your classmate came up to me today. i know you probably donât wanna hear this, but she made up a rumor about you. said you beat up a first grader or something and that youâre a horrible person..â you bet your ass you were furious
johnny looked at you, both of you still walking around the lot, and your eyes were suddenly filled with hate
âhmm..â you mumbled, not saying anything after, your fists clenched in anger
you didnât say anything, you didnât want to burst out at him, so you said, âi think i need some quiet.â
he knew you would say this when you were angry, not wanting to be rude and say something you didnât mean, so he stayed quiet
a few minutes later, you said âthank you for telling me.â and started up another conversation
he always appreciated how you would thank people, you were polite but were willing to be rude if your friends were being bullied
johnny would always try to invite you to hangouts, and you would always accept, he considered you one of the more mature ones of the group even though you were the youngest
whenever he looked at you, your eyes would be filled with nothing, as if your eyes were dead, and if they werenât, your eyes would be filled with hate
but he knew you were going through much more, you felt more than how other people felt, emotions were heightened but you didnât show it
johnny realized you cared about him when you beat up a soc, who was nearly suffocating him, putting the soc in a chokehold and taking him off of your friend
pushing the soc onto the ground, you grabbed johnny by the back of his denim jacket and ran
you were smart, smarter than others and you used your head
he loved that about you, you were loyal, the fact that you were so loyal had scared him too, knowing that if he ever did something to piss you off, you could fuck him up
but you wouldnât, you cared too much
SODAPOP CURTIS
you and soda were at the DX, you decided to hang out there after school because you wanted to do homework there and read
when you saw sodaâs ex girlfriend, you glared at her, hatred in your eyes, a cold gaze on her
âsoda, you bitch! youâre so fucking terrible, ugly ass whore, youâre a dumbass too!! you, telling people about how i cheated on you?! this is supposed to be between us, dipshitââ she got cut off because you punched her in the face
no one else was in the shop, so you felt free to do whatever
ây/n, stop! oh wait no oneâs here, never mind.â your brother said
you grabbed her by her hair and dragged her out of the DX, telling her, âdonât fucking diss my brother again, i can do more than just punch you.â
she ran away, tears in her eyes, and you walked back into the DX, a blank expression on your face again
soda asked you why you punched her, you replied with, âshe was talking shit about you, did you not hear?â an annoyed tone to your voice
he looked at you and said, âoh, yeah⊠thanks, sis.â
you nodded and didnât reply, went back to doing your homework
he admired how you were good at school, better than he ever was, and you were younger than ponyboy
he tried to get closer to you emotionally even though you wouldnât let many people get close, always pushing them away before you could
you felt empty inside, not in a sad way, but in a âwhateverâ way, still hoping for something more
thatâs how he felt too, and he knew, so he tried to bring you food or hang out with you more so you could feel better
you were so loyal, to the point of hurting someone else if they were rude to the people you were close to
he didnât know how to describe you, he would see you as cold sometimes, but in the dally type of way
not in the hating everyone type of way, but the protective âdonât let anyone inâ way
he would defend you when others would say youâre weird, not just because you were his sister but because he truly cared about you
DARRY CURTIS
you were out, and it was 2am, walking back home
you were previously âbusyâ at a restaurant, you had snuck in to do homework because you didnât want to do it at home
you totally lost track of time, and before you knew it, everyone was gone and the outside was dark
you walked home with your backpack, not being nervous even though hardly any light was out, the only source being the street lights
when you were within a block of your house, you saw the lights were on, and you sighed
you walked into the living room and closed the door, seeing darry on the recliner, putting the phone down
he got up and you backed up, speaking loudly, âwhere the hell have you been!? itâs nearly three, you better have a good reason why you were out. plus, itâs a school night.â
you stared at him, replying with, âi donât have a good reason why i was out. i was doing homework and lost track of time.â
you didnât blink, and he started speaking louder, walking towards you slowly with a mad look on his face
you didnât back up, wanting him to think you didnât care, but he said, âitâs not safe for you to be outside after dark. you have to be inside, in the damn house by 12. you know what the hell happened to that girl a few blocks down, donât you? you donât even have a switchblade in your pocket, how are you gonna protect yourself, huh? huh!?â
your throat closed up and tears slowly formed in your eyes, so you quietly said, âit wonât happen again.â and walked away, your head down, soda looking at you
you went to your room and sat on the bed, staring at the floor, sighing
you felt like darry didnât care about you sometimes, but you know he did deep down, he was just hard on you because you cared so much
you heard a knock on your door, and the door opened slowly, darry coming into the room
he looked at you for a few seconds, trying to observe you, but knowing it was impossible because you had the same expression all the time, emptiness
âi just get worried about you sometimes, im sorry i⊠almost yelled at you. i donât want that to happen again, though.â he said, and you nodded, looking down at the floor again
he walked in your direction, sitting next to you on your bed, wrapping an arm around your shoulder and kissing your forehead, saying, âyouâre a good kid, y/n.â
he got up off the bed, walking out the door and going into his own
he would worry about you constantly, never knowing whether you were okay or not
the two of you acted the same at times, both with cold eyes and showed love in difficult ways
he would try to bond with you over homework, he would always check it and congratulate you when you would get it right, baking with you, etc, just so you would maybe show emotion
DALLAS WINSTON
you were at the police station for getting into a fight with one of your classmates, breaking a boyâs nose because he was talking shit about your brother, ponyboy
a policeman told you to call someone, so you called the curtis number, but no one picked up
so you called dallyâs number, knowing he had experience in this situation
he answered, and you told him, âdally, can you pick me up at the station?â with a flat voice
he replied with, âiâll be there in ten.â and hung up
ten minutes later, the doors swung open and he stormed in, asking loudly, âwhere the hell is y/n curtis?â
a policeman sighed and asked you, âyou asked dallas winston to pick you up?â and you nodded, he scoffed and motioned you to go to dally
the two of you walked out of the station, him driving you to your house
âthe fuck were you in there for?â he asked with concern
âbeat up a kid in my class for talking shit about pony.â you replied, looking out of the window
he nodded, knowing you would get overwhelmed sometimes, causing you to act aggressive
the two of you had that in common, you were fine with beating people up if they were talking shit about someone you knew
he felt bad for you at times, you never looked like you had emotions, and he assumed you had none for a while, you were tough, too tough for your age
heâd try to calm you down at times, even though you were stubborn, so you wouldnât do anything youâd regret
he cared for you as he cared for johnny, you needed to be loved, like how even dally needed to be loved
TWO-BIT MATTHEWS
he was at the curtis house with the gang when you came in, backpack on and flowers in your hand
âhey sis, how was school?â soda asked, and two-bit teased, âyeah, and why do you have flowers? someone like you, huhhhh???â
âschool was fine. i have flowers because a boy gave them to me.â you said, and two-bit âooooâd, âas a joke.â you continued
âshit, you serious? did you beat him up?â he asked, and you nodded, saying you got sent home early
you sat next to him, he was on the couch so you sat on his left, he had chocolate cake on his lap
âwant some?â he asked, and you shook your head, knowing you could get more if you wanted some
the two of you stared at the screen of the tv, mickey mouse playing, he laughed and looked at you, seeing your blank expression, not blinking
âyou okay?â he asked, taking a pause from watching mickey mouse and eating cake, putting down the fork, looking at you with worry
you nodded, and he asked once again, âyou sure? you donât ever seem to show that much emotion..â
you stared at the tv, saying, âi just donât feel much sometimes. but you should know i do care. about a lot. i donât look like i show emotion, im guessing.â
he stared at you, feeling remorse for asking you the question in the first place, apologizing
he always tries to make jokes in order to try to get you to smile or show an expression other than nothing
two-bit realized you cared about him more than he thought when you called him keith, and telling him he should stop drinking, that he might die early and he shouldnât want being drunk to be his normal
you would talk to him about emotions, even though it was rare, he would always be happy that you were opening up
he understood emotions better than the rest of the gang, which is something you didnât expect, but you didnât tell him that
he would give you advice, he had already been through a lot but was a loving person
STEVE RANDLE
steve and soda were at the DX, working while you were secretly in the back, doing your homework
steve was about to go on his break when he went into the back, seeing your back facing him, hearing you writing something
ây/n? the hell are you doing here, shouldnât you be at home?â he asked
âno oneâs home.â you replied, not even looking at him
the conversation ended there, and he walked back to soda, who was at the cashier, telling him about what just happened
âhey, uh, your sisters in the back doing homework. do you know why sheâs here?â he asked your brother
he looked at steve, saying, âiâm guessing no one was home. i donât know why sheâs here though.â he looked into the back, seeing you finishing up your packet of homework
steve asked your brother if you were okay, and soda went on a rant, saying, âi have no idea, man.. i feel bad, we donât talk much. i mean, i know sheâs my sister and all but we donât seem close, like, at all. she doesnât seem close to anyone.. just does her own thing, but she has a lot of great qualities. sheâs a good person, but i really worry about her, man.. she wonât talk to me about things.â he paused, âi know this might seem like a lot, and you donât have to⊠but do you think you could talk to her? ask how sheâs doing?â
steve thought for a second and nodded, walking into the back and sitting on the counter where you were doing your work
âhey, uh, you okay? iâm getting off work in a bit, i can walk you home.â he hesitantly said
you looked up from your paper, staring at him for a couple seconds and saying, âsure.â
a few minutes later, he came into the back and told you, âhey get packed up, iâll get you home.â
you grabbed your backpack and walked to the front, soda mumbling a âheyâ and bringing you into an embrace, but you didnât know how to respond
you awkwardly patted his back, and when he let go, you and steve walked home
two girls walked past you, both socs and not where they were supposed to be
they giggled and said, âgod, why are they dressed like that? stupid hoods..â and you looked back at them, stopping in your tracks
you made eye contact with one of the girls and walked towards her, punching her in the face, her head going back and her friends eyes going wide, jaw dropping and gasping, hands going over her mouth
she grabbed her friend and the two of them ran back to their car, not looking back at you
you walked back to steve and continued walking to your house, he asked you, âwhy the fuck did you do that?â
âthey were talking shit about us.â you replied, and didnât say anything else, eyes concentrated on what was around you, observing
he thanked you for standing up for him and yourself, saying you couldâve handled it better though
you looked up and glared at him, looking down and thinking, âthe fuck else was i supposed to do? i just helped him, god..â but not saying it out loud
you got frustrated at times, and he understood that well
but that one interaction with you helped him make up his mind, that you were a true friend and were loving
you didnât consider him a friend, and he didnât consider you a friend either, but the two of you would protect each other and stand up for each other

PONYBOY CURTIS
the two of you were at school, dissecting a squid in your science class
you and ponyboy were partners, and knew exactly what to do with the squid, even without instructions
then one of your classmates came up to you, asking âhey, y/n right? you uh, seem pretty smart. you already took apart the squid without any instructions, huh?â
ponyboy looked towards him, already seeing your attention was on your classmate
âoh, uh, yeah! it was mostly ponyboy though, heâs really smart!â so you smiled at your boyfriend, and gave him a kiss on the cheek
but your classmate kept persisting and giving you compliments, even flirting with you at times
ponyboy finally sighed and suggested, âhey, how about you go back to your desk.. seems like your partner needs help.â looking around, the classmate saw all the others dissecting their squids, while his was still put together
normally, when heâs jealous, heâll try to make a distraction so he can pull you away or get someone else to leave
when youâre talking to someone important, ponyboy will stay close but wonât barge into the conversation
JOHNNY CADE
once, the two of you were at the drive in, planning to watch a cute romantic movie together
a guy tried to flirt with you, telling you that you look beautiful and youâre outfit is tight and looks real nice on you
you thanked him but told him to stop, many times, even though johnny was on the other side of you
eventually, when the man wouldnât stop harassing you, johnny told him âhey, why donât you just stop talkinâ to her? she told you to go away, man..â and shook his head in disappointment
he didnât like him talking to you, and hated him more when he knew you felt uncomfortable
the man asked him, âwho the hell do you think you are, hood? no reason why sheâd wanna date someone like youââ
before he could continue, johnny tapped you, motioning to get up
the two of you walked to the car, and you said âthanks, honey.. too bad we didnât really get to enjoy the movie though..â and he suggested the two of you would stay but at a distance from the man
johnny stayed close to you in a protective way, always checking your surroundings to make sure you were safe
but when you talk to someone important, or youâre catching up on life, he wonât do anything
he loved you, and even if he was jealous, he had to respect what you wanted
so if you wanted to talk to someone, heâd let you talk to them, sometimes because heâd know you were looking forward to it
he just doesnât want either of you to get hurt, so heâll try to always be nice, even when confronting someone
SODAPOP CURTIS
you were on your break at work, at a restaurant
your boyfriend, soda, came to visit you so the two of you sat down at a booth and ate a meal for free
then a guy stupidly came up to you and asked you for your number, saying you were very attractive
you looked at him, confused, side eyeing soda in a âwho does this guy think he isâ way
you said, âum, no.. sorry. i have a boyfriend, if you couldnât tell.â but the man wouldnât stop talking to you
he sat down next to you, starting to eat some of your fries, making you lose your appetite
you kept moving away, and he put his arm around your shoulder, eyeing you up and down
it got to soda, he didnât like how he was talking to you, âokay, weâre done here.â and he looked at your boyfriend
âleave.â he said, and the guy didnât listen
âyou better fucking leave.â deepening his voice and glaring at the man, putting a sense of fear into him, and even into you
he put his arm back to his side and got up from the booth, eyeing both you and soda, not saying a word but walking away
âyou okay, baby?â he asked, and you sweetly answered with a âyes, thank you soda.. i love you.â
he said âi love you too.â and flashed you a genuine, beautiful and handsome smile
he was glad the man listened to him, because if he didnât, he wouldâve beaten the man up, but didnât want a lecture from his older brother darry
your boyfriend really didnât want to worry about you, but he couldnât help it
he loved you too much to not worry, and he knew you understood all his feelings, not a lot of people did
he appreciated that about you, and ever since you understood, he never wanted to lose you
you were the only person he felt like he really loved
DARRY CURTIS
the two of you were at a restaurant, on a date when the waiter tried to hit on you
darry isnât uncomfortable with telling you or someone else when he doesnât like what someoneâs doing, so he tells you and the man that he wants him to stop
so he tells the waiter, âhey uh, this is my girlfriend and iâd appreciate it if youâd stop⊠flirting with her.â
he listens since darry has big ass muscles, and he doesnât want to get beat up
normally, heâll politely ask the person whoâs flirting with you if they could stop
if youâre talking with someone, simply catching up or talking about something important then heâll leave you alone
he knows you can get frustrated if you canât finish a conversation thatâs important, so he lets you do your thing
unless you want him to help you get out of the conversation
he doesnât want you to get emotionally hurt or feel bad if youâre talking to someone, so he always tries to talk to others politely, no matter if theyâre being rude or not
if a guy is harassing you though, he would first tell the man to stop, if he doesnât then he might get into a fight with him
just enough to get him to stop being creepy with you, but not enough to get him into legal trouble
DALLAS WINSTON
heâs normally not comfortable showing pda but will make an exception if some guy is flirting with you
but the two of you were in a bar and a random guy came up to you and was making suggestive gestures to you
he kept flirting with you and trying to get close to you, but you kept moving away
you were clearly uncomfortable with the way he was acting, but didnât know what to do, you were afraid heâd hurt you if you rejected his advances
dally glanced over to you and saw the creepy guy was talking to you, and how you were uncomfortable and kept looking at his direction
he was jealous another man was talking to you, but was worried about if youâd be safe or not
so he walked over to you, already glaring at the man who was harassing you
he wrapped his arms around your waist and started slowly kissing your neck, mumbling âhey doll, whoâs this..?â and looked at you in a loving manner
dally then looked at the man, and glared hard at him
the man saw the shine in dallys pocket, knowing it was a switchblade
but he could care less, and kept flirting with you
dally lost it when the man said âhow about we go to my apartment baby, bet youâd like it if i-â
your boyfriend let go of you and grabbed his hair, bashing his head into the counter, breaking his nose in the process, punching him repeatedly, blood dripping down his face
âyou ever talk to my fucking girl again and iâll break both your fucking arms too.â he whispered into his ear
he then threw the man to the side, onto the ground and wrapped his arm around your shoulders
âthanks dal,â you mumbled âthat was a lot though⊠i think you broke his nose..â you looked back and people were staring at you two
he knew he wouldnât get in trouble, and led you upstairs to his room, wanting you two to go to sleep
if dally is jealous but the person heâs jealous of isnât harassing you, just talking, then heâll most likely walk up to you and the person youâre talking to, then will stand behind you protectively and say to you âhey sweetheart, uh, i need to talk to you for a second.â
so heâll pull you away from the person and the two of you will talk about something random, because he didnât need you to talk to you, he just wanted you away from the other person
however, if it seems like youâre talking about something very important or a close friend you havenât talked to in a while, he wonât bother you
he really tries not to show the fact that heâs jealous but itâs really obvious
TWO-BIT MATTHEWS
the two of you were at the drive in, going together to watch a new movie
you liked horror movies, meanwhile two-bit liked comedy movies, and was obviously into comedy himself
after the two of you sat down, a man came up to you and started talking to you
you didnât say much since you were trying to watch the movie, but he wouldnât stop talking and your boyfriend started to get a little jealous
eventually, two-bit talked to the guy and said, âhey, man i think my girl wants to watch the movie. you can maybe talk after but please⊠just some quietness âtil after the movies done?â
the man stared at your boyfriend for a bit, gave a quiet âokayâ and nodded, walking away from the two of you
âthanks, keithâ you mumbled, and he nodded, putting the popcorn in between your laps
both of you continued paying attention to the movie, and your boyfriend forgot about the whole encounter with the man
but if he sees you laughing because of another guy, heâll probably get more jealous than how he would if a man was just naturally talking with you
like, he loves to make you laugh and gets a little sad when another guy makes you laugh, especially if you laugh harder than when you do with him
heâll try to outdo the guy by telling you jokes too
STEVE RANDLE
the two of you were at the store, planning to buy groceries
then you ran into a friend from middle school, who just so happened to have a crush on you all those years ago
ây/n, gosh is that you?â the man said, and you replied with, âoh, sorry⊠i donât remember you, remind me who you are?â
he responded with his name and you remembered him, how the two of you got along and were friends up until he started treating you like crap, all because of the fact he liked you
you told steve you had to talk to an old friend, so you gave him a kiss on the cheek and walked towards your old friend
the two of you just wanted to talk, and he didnât like you anymore, so you wanted to catch up with him
the way he kept laughing at your jokes made steve a tad bit jealous, but he knew he had to trust you
but he couldnât help but get warm, not in the good way, in a jealous way
so he walked over to you and said, âwho you talkinâ to?â and you looked at him and responded with, âoh, this is my friend from middle school! we went to different high schools, so we lost contact.â
your old friend smiled at him and introduced himself and said, âoh, cool. is this your boyfriend?â and steve replied with âyeah, been together for nearly a year.â
so when you and your boyfriend left the store, the two of you got into your car and drove to steveâs house to drop off the groceries
he would get insecure at times, thinking youâd leave him when you found someone better
heâd disguise it as jealousy, but wouldnât confront you about talking to other people if he was jealous
the most heâd do is talk to soda about it, but he wouldnât burst out at you or get mad at you for talking to other people

PONYBOY CURTIS
you had been talking about your next game for weeks, spending time at the ice hockey rink for hours on end for the past week or so
when the day finally came, darry and soda already had their schedules for work, both busy, so ponyboy volunteers to go to your game
at the game, pony is watching from the stands, hardly saying or making any noise besides the occasional cheer when your team makes a goal
as you have the puck, aiming towards the goal with your stick, getting ready to hit the puck when a player from the other team shoves you, causing you to fall to the ground and lose the puck
âmotherfuckerââ you grumbled, standing back up and grabbing your stick as the couch waved his hands around, âtime out!â blowing his whistle
âcurtis, bench!â he commands gesturing to a spot meant for resting after getting hurt
you roll your eyes, skating over to the spot, pushing the door and sitting on the bench, you just began to feel the pain in your right side of your body
ponyboy walks over closer to you, yet still in the stands, asking, âlooks like that guy hit you hard, you hurt?â
you look at him through the clear screen, replying, âmy right side hurts⊠iâm guessinâ when i take off my gear, im gonna have fuckinâ bruises everywhere.â
âyouâll be okay,â he paused, trying to convince himself, âwhen are you gettinâ back in the game?â
as on que, your coach asks, âcurtis! you good enough to get back in?â you stand back up and push the door open, nodding at his question and saying goodbye to your brother, skating onto the rink
pony does a sport too, he always feels disappointed when no one goes to watch him at his meets, he wants to feel supported
so he always goes to your games as he wants you to feel supported and loved
JOHNNY CADE
johnny knew you were excited for your hockey game that was coming up, so he decided to support you and go to your game
as he entered the building, he kept his head low because he had snuck in, not wanting anyone to notice
he glances to his left, spotting you, your teammates and the opposing team already on the rink
johnny smiles at you when you look to your right, seeing him sitting down at the stands, you wave at him before the referee calls for everyone to get in their positions
as you are all playing the game, he keeps quiet but his attention is fully on what is happening in front of him
skating to the opposing player with the puck, you take it and skate towards the goal when the opposing player puts their hands out, pushing you to the ground
âdamn itâŠâ you mumble, quickly standing up almost as fast as you were pushed to the ground
a goal was scored, so you stand in your place until you feel ready to travel over to your teammates
ây/n, are you hurt?â johnny asks, his voice cracking slightly as you skate over to the stands, both of you face to face but separated due to the dasher board
you shake your head although you are holding your shoulder in pain, apologizing as you had to go back to your team
he enjoys to go to your games because it helps him feel emotionally better, it forces him to interact with others and also puts him in a foreign environment
he just wants to support you too, he knows it was hard for you to not have your parents at the games and your brothers to not be available
he values your relationship and sees you as a little sister although youâre not blood related
SODAPOP CURTIS
your brother had taken a day off to watch your hockey game, as you had been talking about it for days
âyouâre gonna do amazing, sis! when iâm older iâll finally be able to say, âmy sisterâs a pro hockey player!â he exclaims, attempting to make you excited for your game
it works, you begin to jump around as you enter the building, soda following after you and patting your shoulder, waking to the stands
you change in the locker room, coming out in your gear
the game starts as you skate onto the rink, you and a player from the opposing team face off to get the puck
you gain the puck first, skating straight across to the goal when the same player from the opposing team hits your leg hard with the stick
soda furrows his eyebrows, a confused look on his face as he watches the scene unfold in front of him
the player pushes you to the wall as you yell, âyou ainât allowed to do that, jackass!â pain is felt all over your left side
the referee doesnât notice, soda yells after you, âyou okay, sis?â you reply by nodding and looking at him
your focus is brought back to the game when the same opposing player charges in your direction, the puck in his possession
you skate towards him then turn in his direction, both of you next to each other as you push him to the ground, hard
taking the puck and skating in the opposite direction, your brother cheers for you as you score a goal
after the game, your adrenaline wears off and you realize youâre in much more pain as you realize
the two of you drive home then you both sit on the couch, you lean into your brothers side as he rubs your left shoulder
you sigh, closing your eyes as he continues to ask you, âthis hurt?â you shake your head before he reassures you that youâre okay
sodaâs literally your hype man, heâs glad another person in the family is good at sports because he knows he isnât
always tells you that you did amazing in your games and practices, doesnât want you to feel insecure about it and truly believes youâre amazing at hockey
DARRY CURTIS
it was your first game without the whole family being able to go, so darry took the day off work to support you
he drove you to the rink, asking, âyou excited for the game?â glancing at you for a brief second, his attention going back to the road
you shrug, replying, âi donât knowâŠâ looking outside the window as you arrive at the building
the two of you get out of the car, walking towards the building as you move closer to your older brother, a bit nervous for your game
as you walk into the building, you see the rink and direct darry towards the stands, âi have to change. iâll be wearing dark blue.â
once you are done changing in the locker room, you bring your skates over to the rink and tie them
after warming up with your team, the game begins, a player on your team has the puck and passes it to you
you skate to the goal, getting ready to hit the puck when you feel pressure on your stomach, as you look down, you see a player on the opposing team kicking you as they lose balance
rolling your eyes, you hit the puck into the goal as another player from the opposing team grabs your helmet, smashing your head against the wall
your head suddenly felt warm, like something was running down your face, you recognized it as blood
yelling is heard around you, feeling someone pulling you up and skating you to the edge of the rink, you feel arms around you and your vision is blurry
ây/n are you okay? youâre⊠bleeding, hey, does anyone have a first aid kit?â darry talks quietly before yelling to the referee
he walks you to the bench and sits you down, your ears ringing and you hardly have energy to keep your head up
you hear the referee coming over to you with a first aid kit, giving it to your older brother while he takes your helmet off and wipes up the blood on your forehead
the referee kneels down to your eyesight as you are looking down, telling you, âyouâre real injured right now, iâll give that sheldon boy a talking to. you go home and rest, it isnât a problem. get better soon, okay, kid?â smiling at you and patting your shoulder before he leaves
once darry is done with wiping away the blood and making sure you feel okay, he asks, âyou ready to go home, kid?â
itâs really rare for him to find time off from work, so if he goes to your games then youâre really happy
you remind him of himself when he would do football, his parents and brothers would watch his games and he would feel proud
so he tries to take time off to go to your games, loves to support you and make you feel happy when you see familiar faces in the stands
always tells you to do your best in the games, congratulating you after the games even if you didnât do particularly well
DALLAS WINSTON
dally had offered to take you to your game, your brothers were all busy and he had nothing to do
as you skate onto the rink, dally yells after you, âkick their asses, kid!â sitting down and looking to his left, spotting a soda bottle along with a pack of cigarettes
the game starts and he grabs the cigarettes, placing them in his pocket and grabbing the soda, taking a drink of it
as he watches you pass the puck to others, the other team gains the puck, you chase after the player with the puck
he holds his stick in a position to hit the puck into the goal, as he swings, you happen to be right behind him, causing you to be hit in the face
dally yells, âhey, that little shitâs stick just fuckinâ whacked her in the face, man!â looking out for you, watching you put your hands over your face in pain
the referee calls, âpenalty for high sticking! sheldon, youâre on the bench for two minutes! curtis,â he pauses, looking at you, âyou feel good enough to play?â
you think before answering, âyeah!â taking your hands off your face, you turn your head towards dally
as you skate closer to the stands, he asks, âyou okay, kid?â you nod at him, he continues, âhit âem back, hard.â
you smile and nod, beginning to skate back to your side of the rink, your friends swarming you and asking if youâre okay
dally knew his parents never gave a shit to be seen with him, so he wants you to feel cared for, heâs weirdly enough your chaperone even though heâs not responsible at all
if you ever want to practice but the rink is closed, heâll probably find a way to break in so you can work on how you play
probably gets super pissed off when the opposing team scores for no reason even if they actually deserved it
TWO-BIT MATHEWS
two-bit and his younger sister decided to support you at your hockey game
you were already playing, keith and his sister found a spot to sit in the stands
you glance over to the stands, spotting two-bit and his sister watching you, you wave and smile at the both of them, directing your attention back to the puck
as your teammate passes the puck to you, you begin to skate towards the goal, preparing to hit the puck
right as soon as you hit the puck, a player from the opposing team shoved you into the wall, chasing after the puck and therefore preventing your team from scoring
pain shoots up your back, you would for sure have bruises all over once you got your armor off
two-bitâs sister gasps behind you, ây/n! are you okay?â concerned looks on her and her brothers faces
âyeah!â you yell back, glancing at the both of them for a brief moment, skating quickly in the direction of the puck
ây/n!â your teammate says, grabbing your attention and passing the puck to you
you skate across the rink, aiming the puck into the goal and succeeding, your teammates cheering for you
standing where you hit the puck, you try to rub your back to ease the pain, failing because of the thick layers of gear
your whole team is already grouped up when one of them turns their head, skating over to you and asking if youâre okay
staring at the ground, you whimper in pain, trying to rub your back again, two-bit noticing and asking, ây/n, you terribly hurt?â
you look at him, still standing with your teammate as the referee orders, âcurtis, bench! doesnât look like youâre feeling good enough to play!â
as you get escorted to the bench by your teammate, the player who hits you skates by the stands
âhey, way to go fuck face!â two-bit yells at him, making you turn your head and laugh gently
cares about you as he cares about his little sister, he goes to all of her school events as he goes to yours and your hockey games
sometimes heâll just go because he loves seeing the smile on you and his sisters faces when you see each other, her running up to you after your game although youâre sweaty and tired
STEVE RANDLE
steve took the day off work to watch your hockey game, you had previously told him which position you would play as, the goalie
he glances to the left of the rink, seeing you with more gear on than the other players and a different stick
he watches the opposing team, switching his attention from you and them constantly
a player from the other team has the puck, skating to where you are, attempting to score a goal
the player hasnât slow down fast enough, hitting the puck and also throwing himself onto you in the process
both of you were on the ground, you push him off and groan, your whole body hurting
ây/n, you good?!â steve yells, you shake your head as your body aches, he stands up as your teammates skate over to you, creating a circle around you
two of them grab your hands, directing you to the bench where you are to sit and rest, as you are injured
you call out, âsteve?â you look around to find him, he moves near the bench yet still in the stands
âhey, you okay kid? looks like that guy hit you pretty hard.â he asks, concerned for you and your health, wanting you to check yourself for bruises or cuts
you breathe unevenly, âmy ribs hurt.â straightening out your back and trying to relax, to try making your front feel better
âyouâll be alright,â he paused, glancing over to you once again to see you calming down, âhow âbout i take you to get ice cream after this?â
you look over to him and smile, seeing concern and worry in his eyes, nodding as your referee calls, âcurtis! youâre back in!â
as you are skating back onto the rink, steve comments, âtake it easy, kid. donât wanna have to call darry.â
he goes to your games because he knows you like to have someone there to support you, so you know he cares
steve normally doesnât care so much about about things, rather nonchalant but cares about you as if you were his sister
heâll be the most obnoxious person ever in the stands, yelling and screaming over everyone else
Could you do the gangs types? đ

warnings: cussing
PONYBOY CURTIS
pony likes someone who can both yap and listen, he enjoys hearing you talk about things and how you get excited and smile, but he also loves talking to you and ranting, he appreciates someone who can listen to when he gets really excited over small things or in general
one of the first things he looks for in a person is their intelligence, if one is smarter than the other then he wouldnât want to feel stupid or you to feel bad that youâre not as smart as him
he prefers studying together if the both of you are at the same level and classes in school
that way the two of you can have in depth conversations that he canât have with others because they donât know as much as he does
JOHNNY CADE
he always felt like he needed emotional support so if you can provide that for him, heâs all over you
along with someone who shows affection in public and isnât ashamed, whether itâs complimenting him, hugging him or giving him gifts
johnny extremely values people who are loyal to him, someone who wonât leave at the first sense of danger or sadness, instead tries to work out the problem and continue communicating
he gets nervous when confrontation is involved, but communicating lets him know you care and love him, because if you didnât care, you wouldnât talk to him about whateverâs bothering you
johnny loves someone who is respectful of boundaries, he never really knew how to make his own because he never had them in the first place, his parents didnât care enough to restrict him from doing anything
so if you notice heâs uncomfortable with something youâre or someone else is doing, youâll stop or tell them to stop and heâll love you even more
SODAPOP CURTIS
soda likes people who are good listeners and pick up on little details, like an observer
he just wants people to realize that he has problems too and wants to be listened to, someone who will check up on him randomly or if he looks sad
if youâre a naturally encouraging and grateful person, basically a bubbly happy person, then you have a huge chance that heâll like you
he tries to be around people who make life a lot easier and happier, someone who gives him something to look forward to the next day and a reason to keep living
soda isnât that picky about his type and values personality way more than looks
he loves someone who is upbeat, he doesnât care if someone gets annoyed because he loves being around you
DARRY CURTIS
darry loves someone who is very patient, he can get very occupied sometimes because of work and basically raising his brothers, so itâs very time consuming and heâd love it if his partner is patient
also if you help him out with pony and soda, like buying groceries or making them food or simply taking them places, although heâll feel bad that heâs not doing the work, heâll appreciate whatever you do for him or his siblings
he likes it if you cherish the time you and him have together because itâs so little, so quality time is very important to him
whenever the two of you have time, the both of you will try to work something out that the both of you like, so if youâre good at compromising then he likes that
that way the two of you can do what you want but together
DALLAS WINSTON
he really appreciates someone who can stand up for themselves, basically an assertive person who isnât afraid to express what they want and stuff
dally makes a lot of mistakes so he wants someone who is forgiving, he can get frustrated though if you donât forgive him immediately
but he hates apologizing first and sees it as a weakness, he learns his lesson after you donât talk to him for a few days, he struggles to say sorry but he gets it across
if youâre brutally honest like him, he will fucking love you, the two of you might disagree on things but you hardly ever lie to each other
if you say something like, âthat was a bit rude, dal, not his fault that you didnât like the milkshake.â so heâll sigh and roll his eyes, apologizing to you and saying heâll try not to do it again
he obviously does it again but tries not to do that type of stuff around you, he doesnât want you to be upset at him or with yourself for not doing anything
TWO-BIT MATTHEWS
keith loves someone who has the same sense of humor as him, if he tells a joke or insults someone and you come up with something funnier or more insulting, heâs head over heels
another thing he really loves is someone whoâs good with kids, like they get along and can take care of kids
especially if the kids go out of their way to see you and they can tell you have a good heart, he loves that
same goes with animals, like they have a sense of intuition whether or not some is a safe person to be around, so if animals go to you then they feel safe
STEVE RANDLE
he likes someone who is respectful of others, specifically boundaries and is very careful not to cross them
also someone who sees the good and bad side of everything, if you try to see others perspectives then heâll really appreciate it
that way he knows youâre caring of not only yourself and your friends, but people you donât know either
he loves it if someone is protective of him but not to the point where he canât do anything on his own, he can handle himself very well and you both know that, but if youâre protective then he knows youâd do a lot to keep him safe
