First Dates with Curtis Gang !! (HCs)

(These might sound a bit ‘inaccurate’ to some, but I personally think everyone would be a bit nervous/shy on a first date as well as being more soft. I mean, it’s a date with just the two of you, trying to look tough isn’t their biggest worry lol. I try to keep everything as accurate as possible. I also tried to keep these as gender neutral as possible but I am a cis fem so I can really only see scenarios through my own eyes. I’m trying!)

Warnings - Just fluff, how I think a first date situation with each member would go

Author’s Note - I GOT THREE FICS COOKED UP IN MY DRAFTS WHICH EXPLAINS MY INACTIVITY !! ENJOY ���

*.·:·.✧ ✦ ✧.·:·.* *.·:·.✧ ✦ ✧.·:·.* *.·:·.✧ ✦ ✧.·:·.*

Ponyboy

He would lose his mind trying to make everything perfect. I feel he’s not the type to ask someone out without being friends or at least acquaintances first, he has to know you. He needs to know some of your interests, things you dislike - basics. He’ll curate the date and try to incorporate things he knows you’re into to create better conversation.

He definitely thought he was going to get rejected when he first asked you on the date. He mentally rehearsed what he was going to say for at least a week until the date planned finally arrived. He purposefully tried to look his best that exact day to impress you further.

Ponyboy would sooo take you out on a movie date ☹️. He would go for someone who shares similar interests as him - the love for movies a big one on his checklist. He would save up to buy tickets for the both of you to look good instead of just sneaking in. He might even bum Darry of a few cents to ensure he had enough.

“So… how’s about we go see a movie tonight? Tickets for two, on me.”

He definitely smiled like a complete idiot after the question was posed, feeling embarrassed already.

His biggest accomplishment of the night would be to ‘subtly’ hold your hand. He’s too scared to straight up grab it, so he would try to work his hand towards yours as the movie progresses.

He felt more mature than usual. A first date with you was probably his first date ever so it was probably an even bigger deal to him than most.

Johnny

He had his eye on you for a good while before he finally found the right opportunity to ask you out. I can see him watching you from afar in class or somewhere during school, sitting there and drowning in admiration. He would give little side glances with a straight face so that nobody would think he was looking your way. He is Mr. Nonchalant at its finest 🙁🙏🏻

He would finally break it to Dallas he’s got the hots for “some kid at school” and ask how he should make a move. Obviously Dallas would tease him a bit, only to give him tips Johnny would never use. “You go up to ‘em, tell ‘em where the date is - introductions later. Add a little kiss on the cheek and there ya go.” Johnny would probably force a laugh or something and make a mental note to do the exact opposite.

HE WOULD ASK YOU TO A DINER !! I literally can’t stress this enough, Johnny needs to be able to be a listener at times and the speaker at others. He would strategically plan this shit out and eliminate any other ‘typical first dates’ besides going out to eat. Conversation gets awkward? He’s planning to shovel some food in so you feel obligated to talk more. This gives him a good opportunity to get to know you more and ask for your opinions on the food there, which flavor of milkshake you prefer best, or small talk about school and things you may have in common. He’s such an observer and he’ll find lots to talk about when it’s just you two.

Similar to Ponyboy, he was probably so worked up about thinking of asking you on the date. I can see him picking at that little area of skin beside his nails while he asks you, giving you a lopsided smile because he felt stupid. He’d try to think of some excuse to talk to you before asking you out.

“So I was thinking if you, y’know… wanna get something to eat later…? We could go to that diner if you’re up for it.”

He would literally not stop smiling when you accepted the offer. Johnny would do a good job at hiding the flustered feeling pretty well, but hiding a smile that big is hard for him.

I honestly don’t see him as the type to try to impress people. He is who he is and he wants someone who will actually be interested in his normal self. I don’t see him trying to fancy himself up or anything along those lines.

During the date he would try to sneak as many little glances as possible without trying to show it. Obviously he finds you attractive if he’s desperate enough to ask you out, but he doesn’t want to seem too obsessive.

He’d offer to walk you home and be the bigger person even though he doesn’t like to roam around alone at night anymore. He’d be a little hesitant, but he wants to feel protective of some sort and what better what to show it than walk you home and keep you safe?

Dallas

Surprisingly, if Dallas truly has interest for someone he won’t be so bitter about it. He can’t control how his own personality is perceived by others, but he’ll surely tone it down a bit just for your sake.

Social anxiety is afraid of Dallas. He’ll be in the middle of the most mundane task when he notices you. I can totally see him at a gas station, filling up Buck’s car, or attempting to steal some cigarettes from a corner store when he bumps into you. Unlike the others, I feel as if he goes solely off of looks before personality. He’s so raw and isn’t afraid to speak his mind.

His flirting style is a bit aggressive but it surprisingly works half the time - if the attraction is mutual of course. Dallas would say some corny pick up line or straight up call you some pet name before posing the question. He’s definitely the persistent type for sure. If you turn him down he’ll try and persuade his way into the date becoming an official plan.

“Damn, baby - I forgot all about our date tonight,” while proceeding to show he’s checking you out, no hesitation. While you’re over there confused out of your mind, he’ll laugh to himself and attempt to get you to play along.

“I’m serious. Be over at Buck Merril’s Roadhouse at ten.”

I can’t see him doing anything cutesy or romantic on a first date. He’s like the opposite from most, he’ll save the sweet stuff until he’s comfortable and knows he can be more vulnerable with you. His idea of a first date is something he would most likely do with friends.

Dallas would invite you over to lay down with him and get to know your personality better. He’s not so excited to know all of your interests and desires yet, but rather how you are as a person and your morals. He’d probably try to put on a movie in the background while inviting you to share a blunt in bed. He finds conversation to be what reels him in most, and he knows the best conversations flow when high.

He would be such a tease the entire night. He would let small comments slip, even small touches and gestures to help ease you into growing more comfortable with him. He’ll make it his goal to have you wanting more and more of him - hopefully leading to more dates to come.

Sodapop

He probably fell in love at first sight and immediately knew the two of you would have chemistry.

I just know he saw you at the DX and waltzed right up to you with that big, charming grin on his face.

Soda is definitely more bold when he asks somebody out because he knows he’s handsome. Anyone in their right mind wouldn’t reject him.

“Name is Soda, Sodapop actually,” while he proceeds to introduce himself to you and converse for a few minutes before asking the big question. I feel he’s such a friendly and kind person so he’d definitely be good at making interesting conversation and let it flow naturally before he even attempts to mention a date.

“We should totally see each other sometime. Like - soon.” followed up with a sweet smile while he waits for your response.

I feel like he’s such a family type of guy. He would have to make sure you love his friends as well as Ponyboy and Darry only because he sees them as brothers too. I feel like Soda would have a big hangout with the gang where he invites you and weasels his way into claiming it’s a ‘date’.

I think of something casual and fun like a bonfire where you all chit chat and make s’mores, huddled up against each other. This seems more of like a fall/winter type of date but HEAR ME OUT!!

So of course, you accept his offer and head over to his place where you meet the others and accompany them while sitting beside Soda.

He would for sure tell them about you before hand and try to make them get their act together because he feels as first dates are more important than others. Leaving a good first impression is vital. “Just be cool, we’re gonna have fun, don’t embarrass me this time... please?” with a cheesy ass smile to seal it in.

STOP BC SODAPOP IS SUCH A KISS GOODBYE TYPE OF PERSON !!

Soda would try to get all cuddly and shit by the fire the whole night, progressively getting more bold. He would start with small compliments and smiles, moving towards looping an arm around you, etc. By the end of the night he feels like he’s made enough progress to get a little goodbye kiss from you, even if it’s a small peck on the cheek.

“Aw, come on, no kiss?” as he gently places his hands on your upper arms.

Steve

Steve seems like such a sweet guy once you get past the whole ‘tough guy’ exterior he likes to keep up. He would definitely have to know you a bit before asking you out, so I think you would be somewhat friends with him previous to the big question.

He lovesss people with that natural spunk so I can see him taking you out to some party for kicks. Nothing crazy, but some small venue where music is bumping and the two of you can just share a good time without having to worry about much else.

OKAY SO Steve is definitely more of a bolder type of person when it comes to asking someone out. He’s not shy or nervous or anything - more so expectant.

He gets a bunch of attention from all kinds of customers at the DX although they usually rush to see Soda first.

He gets a lottt of tips from Soda on how to shoot his shot and not get flat out rejected.

Steve would probably have been crushing on you for a good while before making a move. I can see the two of you are engaging in the gang’s typical activities, hanging out or chit-chatting in the lot. Steve tries to subtly have some alone time with you when he executes the big question. I just know he asked Soda and/or Dallas to help distract the others 😭

He’ll try and keep his cool even though he’s beyond excited to finally spill it. I’m talking like clearing his throat and uncontrollably smiling seconds prior.

“What do you say to maybe goin’ to some party with me come this weekend?”

All goes accordingly and here comes the day of the date. He’ll try his absolute best to look spotless just to further impress you.

He would offer to pick you up and everything as he tries to seem like a gentleman.

Once you arrive, he would break the ice immediately and take you by the hand to dance, not caring enough to waste time being stuck in that awkward phase.

I just know he would get so flustered when you come in close contact or have some form of physical touch within a specific dance. Steve Randle is touch deprived. He loves that shit.

During upbeat songs he would actually kill it and own the dance floor with you with no shame whatsoever.

Whether it’s an upbeat and groovy song or a more slow one, he’d make the most of every moment with you and try to make this night one to remember in hopes you’ll want to go out again sometime soon.

Darrel

Darry would be the best boyfriend to ever exist, lemme tell you right now.

He’s definitely a big family guy as well, so it’s not surprising he would want someone who’s willing to commit and have intimate and vulnerable moments with.

Since he’s 20, I feel this is a time for him where people his age start to forget about having a stupid high school relationship and begin looking for a serious relationship.

I’m getting ‘friends throughout teenage years, lovers as young adults’ kind of vibes from Darry. The two of you most likely kept in contact and see each other here and there since senior year ended.

Darry would have mentally prepared himself to ask you out for a date at least a week in advance after noticing he’s caught feelings for his high school buddy.

He was most likely pacing around and trying to script out his lines before he finally gathered enough courage to call you. Since seeing each other face to face is harder to get around with work and watching out for his brothers, he resorts to calling you late at night when Soda and Ponyboy are asleep.

He wouldn’t stall or try to linger on about the topic, he would get straight to the point, just like ripping off a bandaid.

“Hey, it’s been a minute since I last saw you and everything. How does a date sound? I’ve been eyeing that restaurant downtown for a while…we might enjoy it.”

I know he would be giggling and smiling nonstop after you accepted his offer 😭

Come the day of the date, Darry had saved up enough to make a reservation at the somewhat fancy restaurant he mentioned on the phone call. (It’s canon that Darry would most likely be a soc if it weren’t for the gang so I’m envisioning this date based off of that.)

He would so give you his jacket/blazer before he sat down on his side of the table. I’m talking like wrapping it around your shoulder type of thing.

The restaurant is definitely more fancy than the usual diner he’d buy some cheap fast food from, but not fancy like some banquet. He would try and make everything run smoothly by planning it beforehand with the booking, nicer outfit, and picking you up to drive you there.

During the date he would sit and admire you from across the table as you awaited your food, loving the sound of your voice as you rambled on and on. He would’ve planned this whole thing out, trying to come up with a date where you could get to know one another without having to do much else. The point of the date is to talk, not have fun and goof around - but maybe catch up on life together.

Two-Bit

He isn’t one to settle down and usually goes after someone on a lonely night or just for kicks. When he does fancy someone for a long period of time, he makes sure you know it.

I get a lot of ‘friends with benefits’ kind of vibe from him because he seems to be the friendly type who can get along with pretty much anyone. Since he finds you attractive and a pleasure to be around, you settled for this weird arrangement.

Weeks into this situationship type of bond, he realized he may want more than a casual flirty friendship.

He’s definitely bold too, like BOLD.

Two-Bit wouldn’t be shy or anything when asking you. I think he would straight up say something blunt like “Let’s go on a date. Sound like fun?” And then proceed to list date ideas to you.

HE WOULD TAKE YOU SOMEWHERE FUN!!

I can see him taking you to a car show or something and being able to crack jokes and show off his knowledge on cars to you. He brings the good vibes and fun, so even if the date doesn’t sound too appealing to you, you’re guaranteed to have a good time with him.

At the show, Two-Bit would definitely gasp and fawn over every pretty car and continue on and on about the make, model, and how unique the style of it is. He would make small comments and flirtatious suggestions just to make you smile.

“Like that one? Imagine all the fun dates we could go in that!”

Y’all might flame me for this but I think he loves hugs 😭. By the end of the date he would initiate a semi-long hug and smile smugly while you caved in and hugged him right back.

Also gonna get flamed, but he would call you cute names and things super casually. In the middle of a sentence he’ll refer to you as “baby”, or “darling” even though the two of you aren’t dating.

He’s a sweetheart deep down and yall know it. He would go the extra mile when he genuinely likes somebody. He would act a gentleman and share his interests with you. HE CARES!!

[daydreamerswriting]

Can we get Steve x curtis!sister🙏 maybe headcannons if you want idkkk. I’m bad at coming up w fic ideas🥲

an: this was fun to write. Steve is such a silly guy. Thank you for the request <3

W: not proof read, fem!reader, swearing,

Steve and your first time really talking was at the DX

He'd seen you at your house many times, but he'd never really said more than hi to you

But one day, you go to the DX to talk to Soda, but he ends up not being there, so you find yourself talking with Steve

He's hooked on you from that day forward

He starts come over to your house more

He knows that Soda won't be there, but he'll come over anyway and act surprised when you answer the door and tell him

He asked you on your first date that way

"Well that's a shame, I already bought the tickets for the movie. Now I have an extra one. ...Would you wanna go with me?"

He did the fake yawn and stretch thing so he could put his arm around you!

Steve is lowkey nervous to tell Sodapop 😖

But Soda is so so so so happy 🥹

At first, he's a little bit unsure and protective of course, but once he's sure that Steve's intentions are pure, he's thrilled!

Soda and Steve refer to eachother as brother-in-laws

Darry is not as thrilled 😔

But I think you could be dating literal Saint and he'd still be all 😒🤨😠

Ponyboy isn't happy about the news either

This kid does not like Steve 🙅‍♂️

After a while of Steve spending more of his time with you, Soda lowkey gets jealous

Like whyd his sister still his best friend 😔

You'd either be twins with Soda or year older than him (cause I believe Steve is 17?)

Steve does try to be a little more respectful when he's at your house

But only for a few months

Darry makes you keep your door open when Steve is over 🙁

You tell Darry you're oing to sleepovers with your friends, then you go over to Steve's house

He hates having to babysit Ponyboy with you

And Pony hates being babysat in general

You want them to get along though, so you try to facilitate a nice conversation

Steve will being flirting with you heavy, then Darry walks in and🧍‍♂️Flirting mode off

Darry leaves: flirting mode reactivated 😍

Steve tells Soda that he loves you before he tells you

He's nervous and he's gotta tell his best friend!

Ponyboy is so tired of walking in on you two making out

He just sighs and walks away now

Steve spends more time at your house than he does his own

Overall, yall are very cute and, for the most part, pretty sneaky (poor Pony)

An: this is my first video on Instagram. I'm not wearing a shirt, it's a shirtless jam

Divider cred: @kodaswrld

[golden-rolling-hills]

When Pony was a little kid, Steve used to just knock him down for fun and to make Pony cry.

like, 4 year old Pony would just be chilling and 7 year old Steve would just run over and push him down and run away.

[grlsinterrupted]

hiiii I love your writing! Can you do a Steve x reader where she's his girlfriend and comes to visit him at the DX a lot but it always just ends with them making out like on a car or behind the register and soda gets SO ANNOYED

for every kiss you give me, i’ll give you three ! ✶⋆.°

visiting steve at the DX | steve randle x fem ! reader ༉‧₊˚.

-

during his shift at the DX, the thought of you is consuming steve’s mind whole. every few minutes, he’ll take a glance at the clock, a reminder of how much time there is until you’re back in his arms. every tick is a second closer to feeling your soft lips against his. steve’s not the only one thinking about you— soda’s downright annoyed with how much steve talks about you. the only thing steve’s been doing besides repairing cars is complain about how slow time is moving and how he can’t wait to see your smile.

steve is working underneath the car, his forehead dripping with sweat as he burn beneath the sunlight. his hands are covered in oil, struggling to even grip on his tools. he isn’t worried about fixing some car, thought— he can’t keep his focus on anything except for you. just as he’s finishing up fixing the exhaust system, he catches the sound of your voice calling out his name.

“steveeeeee? you there?” you shout, holding a tray of chocolate cake in one hand.

steve nearly bangs his head against the undercarriage of the car as he gets up. he rushes behind you, wrapping his arms around your waist and resting his chin onto your shoulder with a mischievous smile.

he plants a soft kiss into the crook of your neck, huffing out a chuckle, his breath running down your skin. “been waiting for you all day, baby.”

you giggle, turning your body around to face him. your chest is pressed up against his as you look up at him. “you missed me that badly?”

he lets out a scoff before looking down at the platter in your hand.

“what’s this, you got me a present?”

“chocolate cake. baked it myself, too,” you say with a proud tone in your voice.

“surprised you didn’t burn down the kitchen, y’know.”

“hey, i worked hard on that! i frosted it and everything, too, made it all pretty for you!”

steve snickers. “i’m g’na gobble this up later, but for now,” he places a hand on your jawline, his lips merely inches away from your’s. “i jus’ wanna kiss you.”

he starts off slow by pressing his lips against your’s, the slight parting of his mouth leaving room for your tongue to slide in. your tongues intertwined as he ran his fingers through your hair, your chest pressed against his. though this was not the first of many kisses, something about the way his tongue danced against your’s sent you into a spiral like no other. as his hands begin to move down your nape, your make-out session is cut short by soda.

“knock it off, steve, you’re on the clock!” soda crosses his arms, rolling his eyes.

steve pulls his lips away from you with an annoyed chuckle. he leans down, whispering into your ear. “soda��s just bitter ‘cause he doesn’t have a lady like you to kiss.” he grabs a rag from the hood of the car, throwing it over his shoulder.

“i’ll see you tonight, okay? maybe we can finish that kiss,” he calls out, winking at you. god, that stupidly flirty wink always does it for you.

‘i’ll make you happy, baby, just wait and see! for every kiss you give me, i’ll give you three’ .ᐟ ₊˚⊹♡

⊹ side note : i’ve never kissed anyone before so i’m sorry if the kiss scene sounds a little weird !

[callme-holly]

please do some steve dating headcannons 🙏 i’ve never seen any for that king. love your work!!

𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐯𝐞 𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐥𝐞 𝐡𝐜𝐬

||۶ৎ omg i never realised i didnt have any headcanons for steve !! tysm for the request <3

⊹₊⋆.˚୨୧⋆.˚₊ ⊹

At first, Steve doesn’t even realise he likes you—or at least not in that way. He thinks you’re great and considers you a close friend. He probably doesn’t notice until he gets jealous when you talk to other guys. 

When he finally comes to terms with his feelings, he isn't exactly smooth. He gets very flustered around you, trying to drop subtle hints without making things awkward. His flirting is loud, brash and sometimes incredibly sarcastic. 

If you’re at the DX, he’s showing off all the time. He’s bragging about the cars he fixed, carrying heavy parts in front of you, charming any and all customers. Anything that’s going to get you to be impressed and compliment him. 

He’s not huge on PDA, but he isn’t against it either. He enjoys the subtle things: holding your hands, keeping an arm around you, and his hand in your pocket. Kisses are more reserved and quick; he’s got a reputation, but he also doesn’t want to give too much of your affection away to the public eye.

He calls you simple things like “babe” or “sweetheart” but sometimes he throws in a more   over-the-top pet name just to see you smile or to annoy you. 

Dates are relatively laid-back and usually consist of going on late-night drives. He just loves having no destination, you in the passenger seat, the radio on low whilst you both talk about anything and everything.

Sometimes you’ll stop off at the diner for milkshakes and he always ends up paying. You both have your own booth near the jukebox because he knows you light up every time your favourite songs play. 

He tries to teach you about cars if you’re interested, and you try to learn just so that when he talks, you have at least a tiny inkling of what he’s talking about. 

Now when it comes to more emotional things, Steve had built up walls and they’re hard to break. After his mom left and fights with his dad got more frequent, he learnt not to give too much of himself to others. But you become an exception.

He finds himself coming to you when he’s locked out, ranting and getting it all off his chest. Sometimes he needs to be held; other times he needs to express his emotions without feeling ashamed. 

He is incredibly protective of you and he gets jealous pretty easily. If he sees another guy talking to you, he’s immediately sizing him up and lingering nearby, just to make sure they don't try anything. It most likely links to some underlying insecurity that he isn’t enough, and he probably needs frequent reassurance. 

Fights happen sometimes, and while the more frequent ones are silly, the big ones are serious. He’s very hotheaded and sometimes he snaps, and when you match the heat, it can get hot very fast.

But no matter how serious things get, he always comes back to apologise and make it up to you. He doesn’t push; he simply gives you the same you need and when you’re ready to talk again, he’s there. 

He loves doing little things such as giving you his jacket or giving you a lift home. It means a lot when he knows he can do something for you and you appreciate it. 

He remembers the smallest details about you and will always surprise you with the things you like after a rough day because he knows you’d most likely do the same for him.

[claritys-silly-things]

Something something Sunday, something something headcanon post

- Ponyboy loves mint chocolate chip ice cream, but dally hates it. He claims it tastes like toothpaste and every time he says this, the group has to hold pony back from attacking the guy (fair)

- (modern) Someone show the curtis brothers Steven universe sobs

- The curtis brothers have dimples and smile lines and other facial things. like Darry has crows feet and pony has worry lines on his forehead because I think it’s cool and I have those even though I am like. Young.

- What if Dallas had an older brother or someone that’s like how he is to Johnny but to Dallas and that person died and then his mom died and he hated his dad and had no reason to stay in New York so he left

- I just painted my nails with random ass old nail polish I found and every nail is a different color and I think that’s something cherry would do

- Pony, soda, and twobit are all double jointed in different areas of their body and they’ll just do shit to creep the rest of the guys out, especially dally and darry

- Dally is fine with gore n shit irl but cant handle weird body contorsions

- Johnny will randomly say the most horrifying things like “doesn’t everyone wish they could go to sleep and not wake up” and it just traumatizes ponyboy. Twobit is also like this but a bit more goofy. Pony ends up doing the same thing post-book but says it to sound like it’s a joke like two bit and when people tell him to stop he’s like “it’s true tho🧍🏽‍♂️”

- Since dally is so pale, he gets “red” so goddamn easily but he looks more pink. Every time he feels too much of any emotion, he’s pink. If it’s too hot he’s pink. Two bit makes fun of him for this and has been punched in the face at least twice for it. Pony is the same but that mf turns like BRIGHT red

- One sided dalbit bc Dallas is fucking aromantic but it’s funny for giggles and shits cuz twobitch just keeps embarrassing himself trying to flirt (vox and alastor core) (someone make a fic about this cries sobs)

- (Modern perchance) Pony is in like advanced classes n shit but fucking hates it. He’s still good at it and will cry if he gets a bad grade, but he doesn’t like it

- (Modern) Pony fucking hates Miguel O’Hara and is absolutely positively disgusted bc like half his friends simp so hard over that man (may or may not be based on me) (it is)

- two bit unironically believes so many conspiracy theories and spreads it to pony and Johnny

- I randomly made mozzarella sticks rn on a whim and soda would 100% impulse make food all the time and just figure out the recipe himself. It’s usually decent.

- Pony loves back to school season but hates actually going back. Like he likes the idea of going back to school and getting new school supplies, but within like, two days, he hates all his classes besides English

- Soda will burst out singing out a lot no matter where he is. Even at night. You can’t stop him (me)

- Rip sodapop you would’ve LOVED musical theater sobs

not necessarily a request but who (out of the greasers/curtis gang) do you think handles spice the best

i’ve never gotten an ask like this omg i think i’ve reached peak fame !!!! <3

—we’re going from best to worst on who can handle spice!

1. two-bit mathews

i feel like he can HANDLE spice. he’s the one guy on tiktok that shoves all the hot things he can get his hands on to eat it all at once. GIVE THIS MAN PLUTONIUM 9 AND HE’LL DRINK IT LIKE WATERRRR!!! spice connoisseur, dare i say.

2. steve randle

i believe he grew up in a household that had a cupboard of pure spices. steve’s the type of guy to eat those chicken burgers people sign forms for and come out fine. but sometimes he cannot handle spice. but that’s only like once every 6 months.

3. johnny cade

johnny cade has a higher tolerance but still can’t handle like those sandwiches you have to sign a waiver to eat. like he’ll eat something that most people are dying after one bite and only his eyes will water with the occasional cough.

4. sodapop curtis

him and steve used to eat hot things for fun, so i imagine it built his tolerance!! but not by much. he eats hot takis without a reaction but anything higher than it—he’s coughing so hard

5. darry curtis

i imagine he COULD handle it well in theory, but in practice? HELL NO!! darry could build his tolerance quickly if he tried, but he doesn’t bother. i don’t think darry would even likes hot things tbh

6. ponyboy curtis

coughs and immediately starts crying after biting into a hot cheeto. peak white boy teenage behaviour. curly downs spicy things like it’s nothing, so he tries to convince ponyboy to eat some. tried it once, and he swears he seen heaven.

7. dallas winston

don’t even bring pepper in his vicinity. he’s the guy that needs milk on standby whenever he eats anything other than salt. WILL NEVER EAT ANYTHING HOT.

 ｡𖦹°‧the outsiders—character analyses and hcs in modern day

best viewed in dark modeᝰ.ᐟ

rundown: just general character analyses of the greasers and maybe the socs. the hcs will be modern day and in the 1960s. hcs a mix of movie, book, and both—each one will be categorized for it.

┏━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┓

ᶻ 𝗓 𐰁 .ᐟ — book

𝟏𝟏:𝟏𝟏 — movie

𐙚⋆°. — both/general

☆  — modern day

★ — 1960s/whenever the book was set in

┗━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┛⠀⠀⠀⠀

tldr: the top base and indicators at the first of the symbol will be combined. if there is no indicator, it is an applicable to anytime headcanon.

𐙚 𓏵𓏵𓏵 𐙚

★ ᶻ 𝗓 𐰁 .ᐟ dally sneaks, not really, the door’s always open there, into the curtis household to use their mom’s hair curler for his hair. speaking of his hair, i’m pretty sure it’s to the equivalent of deep fried. he bleaches it regularly but misses his roots so it sticks out. 𐙚⋆°. he also used to call ponyboy “little curtis” when he was younger.  ★ 𐙚⋆°. ponyboy still has trauma from being drowned in the fountain. he doesn’t go anywhere near water anymore. not like he knew how to swim in the first place. he likes the countryside more after that. well, not really. it reminds him of the church. two deaths, two places.  𐙚⋆°. ponyboy has never fully healed from his concussion. he still runs into things, forgets a lot, and struggles with his basic motor skills. it’s gotten slightly better over the years with the help around him. but it remains there. he has a bunch of scars from his fuck ups. ☆𐙚⋆°. cherry it would 100% listen to lana del ray. she is THE nyc girlie. she’d be addicted to pinterest too. 

☆ 𐙚⋆°. rip dallas winston, you would’ve loved blasting eminem in your headphones and even more pissing people off when they try to ask you something and you ignore it multiple times to then finally respond with “huh?”

ᶻ 𝗓 𐰁 .ᐟ i’m sorry, but cherry would kind of hate two bit. two bit’s an alcoholic, just like bob, but also a sweet person, just like bob. two bit’s alcoholism doesn’t affect him the same way bob does. still, cherry wouldn’t like him. she’d tolerate two bit. but she’d continue to hold her hate against the vice. 

★ ᶻ 𝗓 𐰁 .ᐟ ponyboy once had a dream of an out of body experience where 7th graders were reading his life story. he saw truly what god was until he woke up. he told soda about the dream, he always tells soda about his dreams, and soda just shrugged him off. pony always had wild dreams anyway.

𐙚⋆°. marcia kept waiting for the call from two-bit. she waited for a few days until she heard what had happened w all the greasers. she still waits for the him.

𐙚⋆°. two bit kept looking for the piece of paper with marcia’s phone number. he gave up, because he knew he could ask cherry anyway. he didn’t keep her waiting anymore. 

★ ᶻ 𝗓 𐰁 .ᐟ lets be honest, guys, ponyboy definitely has acne. like, he’s fourteen. his genes better be blessed if he doesn’t. run that back, he’d wash his face with dish soap and have clear, perfect skin. i’m pretty sure they didn’t have anything to deal with that kinda skin care back then. i mean, canonically, the curtis brothers are the only ones to be considered attractive in the whole group of greasers. maybe pony’s just a hater. 

☆ ᶻ 𝗓 𐰁 .ᐟ ponyboy would get absolutely DEVOURED if he was in modern day school. not to mention how much of a hater he fucking is based on first impressions. he can’t even come up with good comebacks. don’t even use the time period as an excuse. ponyboy watched as two bit dropped the killer line of “then pity the back seat” on the socs. what did pony say when the socs insulted him? “white trash with mustangs and madras.” it’s over for him if he used that on a middle schooler nowadays. he’s getting butchered into minced fucking meat. he’d use youtube insults but get bullied even more. 

☆ 𐙚⋆°. dallas would go actually crazy with all the modern drugs. lean, coke, ecstasy, green, pot, blunts, meth. he would have his own dealer that he would lowk fall in love with because that’s all he has. the drugs aren’t his salvation. his dealer is. (omfgg waittt fic idea???)

☆ 𝟏𝟏:𝟏𝟏 dally went through the canon event of buzzing his hair off like every other teenage boy. i hc that he had long hair but got a buzz cut then grew it back to his current style. 

𐙚⋆°. at the dx, steve and soda split up the work during their shifts. steve handles cars, soda the register. soda doesn’t know shit about cars, and steve doesn’t know how to even count money.

☆ 𝟏𝟏:𝟏𝟏 steve hates the cars movies because he thinks they’re inaccurate to actual cars. but he still watches them because lightning mcqueen reminds him of soda. two bit once pointed out steve is like mater. he got pissed off as hell. he’s not that ugly.

☆ 𝟏𝟏:𝟏𝟏 steve and soda unironically flirt with each other. like they are the exact type of boys during middle school who slap each others’ asses and say some shit like “good boy” or “good girl.” it’s only excusable whenever soda does it because he’s hot.  don’t get me wrong, they’re straight. but what they do is some of the gayest shit ever. it’s not even zesty. it is and looks genuine. they kiss the homies goodnight.

☆ 𐙚⋆°. dally watches fight club religiously. he likes heathers too - steve showed him it - but he won’t admit it. 

ᶻ 𝗓 𐰁 .ᐟ dally really wanted to die. he really wanted to commit suicide after johnny’s death. and when he hit the ground, he was glad. ponyboy knew it too. honestly, that was the better outcome compared to the movie. dally would’ve cared as much for pony just as he did for johnny if time gave it to him. but he forgot about that. he was blinded by grief and was put out of his misery. it was better. dally didn’t die seeing what else he could’ve lived for in front of him, even if he did start to genuinely care for pony. and pony didn’t have the knowledge of dally dying before realizing he could still live with him as the reason.

𝟏𝟏:𝟏𝟏 dally messed up when he died. in his last moments, he saw pony. he saw why he should’ve went on. he saw what he had to live for. johnny was dead. was dying just like him going to fix anything? he knew it wouldn’t. he knew the whole thing was a mistake. in his last moments, he wished he could’ve reverse all he did. he died wishing he was alive. he wished he could’ve said sorry to ponyboy at least for dying. 

𐙚⋆°. it was kind of ironic, wasn’t it? johnny spent his last few moments writing to ponyboy hoping to make dally’s life better. as if he was going to be alive to be able to hear it. it was for the better that johnny died without knowing how much dally truly loved and cared for him, so much to the point his death drove him to insanity.

☆ ᶻ 𝗓 𐰁 .ᐟ pony blasted “like him” by tyler the creator after realizing the resemblance to dally in their hair after bleaching it. he keeps his blonde hair cause it’s one of the only physical things reminding him of dally and johnny.

ᶻ 𝗓 𐰁 .ᐟ steve is the most realistic brother to pony. he doesn’t let him do anything, doesn’t let him tag a long. that’s what a true brother does. pony and steve’s relationship is purely one sided from pony. he only hates him because he isn’t as lenient as his brothers are. take it as this, darry and soda let pony do mostly whatever he wants, which is what they do, because he grows up faster that way. but steve cares for pony in a brotherly way because steve doesn’t want him to end up like his father, and steve doesn’t want to end up like him either. he pushes him away because that’s the way he was taught. he pushes him away because that’s the only way he knows how to show he cares.

𐙚⋆°. johnny’s only jean jacket is steve’s old jacket. 

☆ 𝟏𝟏:𝟏𝟏 soda would try to get up an onlyfans when he got older to try to get more money to support the family. like brother, like brother or whatever they say. popping it out like his stripper older brother/j

𝟏𝟏:𝟏𝟏 dallas says he hates kids but somehow they kinda gravitate towards him. he doesn’t actually hate them, he’s just trying to keep up that cover. dallas has the energy of the cool uncle and rodrick heffley but nicer combined. he tolerates, more like protects, them because he reminds him of the childhood he never had.

𐙚⋆°. johnny did track with pony. trust me, that kid can RUN.

𐙚⋆°. two bit quotes/references obscure media around the gang, and he looks around to see if anyone got it before he just laughs it off.

☆ 𝟏𝟏:𝟏𝟏 two bit would watch tawog.

𐙚⋆°. darry wears a necklace that holds his parents’ rings after they died under his shirt that he wears 24/7. that necklace is never off him. it’s his reminder to be the best mother and father he can be to pony and soda. 

☆ 𐙚⋆°. ponyboy and johnny had the sickest handshake together. they’d also be the type of mfs you’d see practicing dap ups to get that loud ass sound that reverberating in the school hallways. and sometimes they just randomly dap up and you hear that heavenly clap. pause.

☆ 𐙚⋆°. dally teaches gang signs that he picked up from those sagging fake ass gangsters at school to little kids. 

☆ 𐙚⋆°. they all recorded a ‘we listen and we don’t judge” vid and throughout the whole thing, darry would be have his arms crossed and give whoever was talking the NASTIEST side eye. some of the loudest judging w that. 

☆ 𐙚⋆°. same concept, they did the same thing with a hmo cake. steve and soda put each other on the cake. two bit had the most down bad hmos, like genuinely peculiar hmos like mama coco, ifyky. dally is the guy just putting conventionally attractive women. ponyboy and johnny weren’t contributing but they were definitely judging hard and gossiping about their weird hmos. 

𐙚⋆°. ponyboy went from liking sunsets to sunrises. sunsets were the last glimpse of gold before it went black, childhood becoming adulthood. he liked them because he was finally growing up, finally leaving his childhood behind. it was easier and for the best to grow up anyway. but after johnny’s death, he liked sunrises a little bit more. sunrises are the dawn, the start of gold. it’s unrealistic. pony knows he can’t stay a kid forever. sunrises are an escape. he still favors sunsets, and he wishes he could really show dally a sunset. he was on the brink of becoming an adult, and maybe a sunset would’ve showed him that last glimpse of gold, of childhood that would keep him going. sunrise or sunset, pony tries to stay golden, no matter what.

Top Gun/Modern au! The Outsiders

Steve’s middle name is Maverick making his full name Steve Maverick Randle

What I’m thinking is he probably got bored one day and joined the Navy, went through basic Navy boot camp at 17, and served for a year but had to stop for a medical reason like diabetes or something. So he just has dog tags at 18 and depending if people pay close attention or not they’ll just ask about them. The boys definitely mess with him in the morning or any time he’s sleeping and will just yell and bang on stuff like a commander would.

Like I kid you not he just got up one day, bored out of his mind, and was just like, “Imma join the Navy” and left.

It’s like 12 AM and I keep trying to go to bed then waking up and searching things up about the Navy just to write this

[notbillyshears]

Steve Randle General Headcanons

I surprisingly have a lot of headcanons for him! He actually won the poll so here he is :) The guy we all have to write because he had like 2 things about him!

Warnings: Spoilers, Mentions of abuse, Misogyny by his dad, Some angst

Steve just hates coffee. He hates the bitterness and everything. But sometimes Evie’s parents make chocolate cake, with coffee flavored icing. Steve has fallen to this trick more times than he can count and almost always ends up excusing himself to the bathroom and spitting it out in the toilet.

When he and Soda were younger, Soda actually had a relatively large friend group. They were really good friends but several times Steve felt very insecure about whether or not they were really best friends. But Soda turned to him the most, Steve was the first one to hear about him dropping out, Steve helped tutor him, they hung out most afterschool. So eventually they were never seen apart. And Steve realized that Soda really was his best friend.

The manager of the DX is very supportive of their dreams and has given Steve some tips on starting a business. He knows that they will lose money whenever the two leave and probably lose even more when they start it up, but he doesn’t care. He wants to give the world to the next generation and give them a chance in life. He’s also sure that some other car genius will work their way into the DX one day.

When they were in early middle school, Steve and him were best friends but whenever Steve was run out of the house he didn’t go to the Curtis house because he didn’t want to trouble them. So he would quietly get up and onto his roof. Then just fall asleep under the stars. 

Whenever he was run out he would also not really have much access to food and this guy needs to eat breakfast or he starts getting sick. So whenever he and Soda would go to school he would just be shaking from nausea and have a very vocal stomach. One day, Steve wasn’t let back in his house for 3 days and Soda caught on once Steve passed out in front of him. Mr.Curtis came to pick him up and assured him it was no problem and let him and Soda have a sleepover of sorts for the next couple days. From then on they left one of the windows unlocked just in case.

Steve, as many have decided, is actually quite school smart. He especially excels at science and math. He enjoys most aspects of science but especially the hands-on stuff. With math he mainly studies for it because he knows it will serve him well in engineering.

Steve really wants to open a car shop to fix cars and stuff but he also really wants to try and become an engineer and try to create better cars. But he doesn’t have much hope in being able to go and actually study engineering since there is almost no way he can pay for it and he doubts he would ever get a scholarship.

Him and Dallas probably have the most hatred for the Socs. He has grown to hate how he can have dreams but that’s all they’re probably going to be, dreams. While the socs can chase whatever they want because they have a shot. They have a chance in life. And that’s not fair. Then they have the AUDACITY to come and harm greasers. They could be using that chance in life, but no! They come over to harm his buddies!

He knows all the inner workings of cars and their bodies and their inventors and everything! You ask something about your car’s engine and suddenly he goes onto a rant about how this engine was originally and Henry Ford’s help in the engineering of engines like this and- He’s learned to dial it down once he saw how annoyed people started getting. Soda enjoys hearing him go on these tangents and Evie does as well.

Steve helps out Johnny a lot and will give him a sandwich or something and let him sit at the DX. Johnny has heard all about Steve’s dream shop and actually helped him try and come up with a name and sign design for it. They’re both mediocre artists but it turned out pretty nice!

Steve is absolutely terrified of the cops. He has read about different things they did in history that were bad (Everything that happened during segregation) and knows how quickly they are to accuse greasers. It didn’t help that his father tells him each time he is run out he better not tell the cops or they’ll take him away and give him a worse beating than his dad ever will. 

He knows Soda is extremely forgetful and has to remind him of some of the most random things. His pants? Almost forgot them on the drying line. His shoes? They were under the couch after they played a game with them. His homework? He taped it to the ceiling to see if he could focus better. A lot of school mornings were spent with Steve and Soda tracing his actions to find said items.

Him and Two-Bit are also really good friends. Steve and him work on Two’s old car and Two-Bit likes to prank him a lot. One time, Steve was going to help replace the steering wheel and Two-Bit brought one out. Frozen in a block of ice. Two-Bit was dying on the floor laughing while Steve tried to hide his grin. How does Two-Bit do this? We don’t ask.

His dad is a very masculine guy and HATES Evie. He hates Evie for all the reasons Steve loves her. She is fiery and has a quick wit. Which Steve’s dad hates because he thinks it's disrespectful to talk back, especially when a girl does it. Evie wears shorts or pants a lot because she works repairing household appliances. She’s not afraid to get her hands dirty. Which also goes against his dad’s views. Evie knows this. So whenever she and Steve walk by his house she will bridal carry him just to spite his dad. 

Steve has rather wavy hair and usually combs it to be that way (which is indeed canon) but it gets really tangled really easily. Soda likes styling hair when he’s bored but he can never style Steve’s because Steve is the only one who knows how to comb his hair without the comb getting stuck. (Those were a fun 30 minutes for Mrs. Curtis)

To those who don’t know him, Steve is not in any way a nice person. He can be very snappy and rude to strangers. 

Him and Evie are a power couple and complement each other extremely well. They are both mechanical geniuses, Evie is as energetic as he is but can also bring him down to earth, Steve is one of few who can calm her down before she goes off on someone, and they are just in love with each other. Steve can be very lovey-dovey with her and she can match that but in general Steve is much more prominent with physical affection. Evie has a bracelet that says Stevie and wears it everyday. 

Steve really likes almonds, it's his favorite snack. Especially honey-roasted ones.

Him, Johnny, and Soda were the original trio in the gang. Then as they got older they gained Dally and just kind of mushed with Two and Darry. Now they have the Curtis gang :)

Steve didn’t like Pony at first because Soda put a lot of his attention on PB. But eventually he continued to find Pony annoying at all ages. He still cares about him though. Steve is his older brother with the more common “You’re the most annoying person I’ve ever met.” outlook on him.

Steve has so many random abilities and it kind of freaks Soda and Evie out. Like one time they were all hanging out (Sandy was there too) and he was dared to try Evie’s platform heels and he was able to dance in them. Through these games it has also been discovered he can:

Write really well with both hands

Balance spoons on his face

Use chopsticks with his mouth

He and Evie actually really liked Sandy and felt utterly betrayed when they found out about her. Sandy was Evie’s best friend. Steve barely knew what to do for Soda. It was just so out of character for her.

When Johnny and Dally died, he didn't show too much emotion. He cried, he grieved with the rest of the gang, but overall he didn't feel much. Until he found the design him and Johnny did for the shop. Soda found him at the DX, sobbing on the ground next to this crappy drawing. So he sat next to him and cried with him, listening to Steve sputter out "He never had a chance! None of us do! Them Socs ar-are using them all up! With no gratitude! We'll never know what he could've done!"

"I know Steve, I know."

"Soda...What are we going to do now?"

The gang baking all together with the Curtis brothers before the book scenario pls?? 🎂🍰🧁

If u r okay with that ofc ☺️☺️

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐆𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭 𝐆𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐫 𝐁𝐚𝐤𝐞-𝐎𝐟𝐟

[𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐮𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐬 𝐆𝐚𝐧𝐠 𝐱 𝐁𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠]

𝐀𝐮𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐬 𝐍𝐨𝐭𝐞: I love this so much! I really had a lot of fun writing this so I hope you like it too.

𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐬: 1,149

The sun shone brightly through the kitchen windows of the Curtis house, casting a warm glow over the bustling activity inside. Mrs. Curtis had taken on the task of organizing the bake sale for the school, and with the bake sale fast approaching, she thought it would be a wonderful idea to get the whole gang involved in baking cookies. After all, with so many hands to help, what could go wrong?

The Curtis kitchen, normally a place of quiet family dinners and quick breakfasts, had been transformed into a chaotic but cheerful hub of activity. Flour and sugar bags lined the counter, mixing bowls and measuring cups were scattered about, and the air was thick with the sweet smell of vanilla and chocolate.

Mrs. Curtis and Ms. Mathews, Two-Bit's mom, were stationed at the kitchen island, reading out the recipe and overseeing the operation with practiced ease. Mrs. Curtis was a natural at keeping things running smoothly, while Ms. Mathews provided comic relief with her witty remarks and easy laughter.

"Alright, boys," Mrs. Curtis called, clapping her hands to get everyone's attention. "We need ten dozen cookies for the bake sale tomorrow, so let's get to work."

"Sure thing, Mrs. Curtis," Steve replied with a grin, but his eyes were already on the bowl of cookie dough sitting temptingly on the counter. Beside him, Soda was having the same thoughts.

"You two stay away from that dough until it's ready," Darry warned, giving them both a stern look. He was trying his best to keep things on track, but with this group, it was no easy feat.

Ponyboy was carefully measuring out the flour, his tongue poking out in concentration. He enjoyed baking, and this was a nice break for him.

Meanwhile, Dallas and Two-Bit had other ideas. Two-Bit, ever the joker, had found a carton of eggs and was trying to juggle them. Dallas, surprisingly good at it, had joined in, his concentration only breaking when he saw Two-Bit drop an egg, splattering it on the floor.

"Watch and learn, Keith," Dallas said, effortlessly juggling three eggs with a smirk on his face. Two-Bit, undeterred, tried again, only to create another mess.

"Two-Bit, you're gonna end up with scrambled eggs on the floor if you keep that up," Johnny warned from his spot by the oven. He was carefully monitoring the temperature, making sure everything was set just right. The last thing he wanted was to get burned.

"Aw, come on, Johnnycake, where's your sense of fun?" Two-Bit laughed, but he did put the eggs back down, realizing that maybe juggling wasn't his strong suit.

"Hey, Soda, Steve, hands off the dough!" Mrs. Curtis exclaimed as she caught the two boys sneaking bites of the cookie dough. Both boys flashed innocent grins, but the evidence was clear on their faces.

"Sorry, Mrs. Curtis, it's just too good to resist," Steve said, wiping a bit of dough off his chin.

"Why don't you guys help Pony with the measuring instead?" Ms. Mathews suggested, handing them each a measuring cup.

"Yeah, come on, guys. We gotta make these cookies perfect," Ponyboy added, grateful for the extra help.

Darry was at the mixer, combining the butter and sugar into a creamy mixture. His focus was intense, and it was clear he was determined to get this right. Despite the craziness around him, he found some peace in the methodical process of baking.

Mrs. Curtis moved to help Johnny with the oven, showing him how to adjust the racks and making sure the temperature was just right. "You’re doing great, Johnny. Just keep an eye on that timer."

"Thanks, Mrs. Curtis," Johnny said quietly. He appreciated the attention and care she always showed him.

Two-Bit, having given up on his juggling act, started cracking the eggs into a bowl, one by one, under Ms. Mathews' watchful eye. "Easy, Keith, don’t get any shells in there."

"Yes, ma’am," Two-Bit replied, unusually compliant. He knew better than to push his luck with his mom around.

Dallas, seeing the juggling act was over, leaned against the counter, watching everyone with an amused look. "You guys are taking this way too seriously."

"Dallas, if you're not going to help, at least stay out of the way," Darry said, not looking up from his mixing.

"Who says I'm not helping?" Dallas grinned, reaching over to snatch a piece of dough. Mrs. Curtis swatted his hand away just in time.

"No more dough until the cookies are done," she said firmly. "If you want to help, grab the chocolate chips and start adding them to the batter."

Dallas shrugged and did as he was told, though he made sure to sneak a few chips into his mouth when no one was looking.

With everyone finally working together, the process started to smooth out. Soda and Steve took turns measuring ingredients and adding them to the bowl, while Ponyboy mixed everything together. Two-Bit, under his mom’s supervision, cracked the eggs without incident, and Dallas added the chocolate chips with surprising precision.

Mrs. Curtis and Ms. Mathews moved between the boys, offering guidance and keeping things on track. Despite the occasional mishap—like when Soda accidentally knocked over the flour or when Steve tried to start a flour fight—they managed to keep the chaos to a minimum.

"Alright, time to get these on the trays," Mrs. Curtis announced. "Ponyboy, show them how it's done."

Ponyboy carefully scooped out portions of dough onto the baking trays, making sure they were evenly spaced. The others followed his lead, some more successfully than others. Two-Bit's cookies were a bit uneven, and Dallas's were a bit too close together, but Mrs. Curtis fixed them with a smile.

"Now, into the oven they go," she said, helping Johnny carefully place the trays inside. "And we wait."

As the cookies baked, the kitchen settled into a comfortable rhythm. The boys cleaned up the mess they’d made, with Dallas and Two-Bit even taking turns sweeping up the flour from the floor. Mrs. Curtis and Ms. Mathews chatted about the upcoming bake sale, while Darry and Ponyboy washed the dishes.

When the timer finally went off, the smell of freshly baked cookies filled the kitchen, and everyone gathered around to see the results. Mrs. Curtis and Johnny carefully pulled the trays out of the oven, and the golden-brown cookies looked perfect.

"Good job, everyone," Mrs. Curtis said proudly. "These are going to be a hit at the bake sale."

"Yeah, we did alright," Darry agreed, a rare smile on his face.

"Can we eat them now?" Soda asked, eyeing the cookies eagerly.

Mrs. Curtis laughed. "We'll save some for the bake sale, but you can each have one now."

The boys didn't need to be told twice. They each grabbed a cookie, savoring the sweet, warm treat. Even Dallas, usually too cool to show much enthusiasm, looked pleased.

If you made it this far you get a free cookie 🍪

Should I post my Steve Randle headcanons?????

[canonickero]

Random head canon that affects nothing: Steve's heart is on the wrong side of his body. Or right side, I suppose(pun joke ahahahaha)

Ponyboy puts his hand on Steve's chest where his heart is SUPPOSED to be(to Steve's left) and goes "yep, I knew you were a heartless bastard"

Ponyboy is a smart mouthed kid, but unlike Dally, Steve doesn't ever hit him or threaten to. He just takes the disrespect because he loves that kid to death. They can joke sometimes. Maybe Steve shoves him a little bit or challenges him to a very unfair arm wrestle.

Steve knew all his life that his heart should be on the left, but he never mentioned that his heart was on the wrong side to anyone because he thought he was crazy.(Irregular heartbeat Steve, anyone?)

Maybe all of his organs are switched, he wouldn't know. Very few greasers go to their yearly checkups, let alone one like Steve. And even fewer of them get anything like that checked out. He just kind of lives without even thinking about it. And then he thinks about it randomly and he thinks about it for way too long, and then forgets again. Steve probably looked weird with his hand shifted to the right on his chest when they made him do the pledge of allegiance in grade school. But he knows damn well that his heart isn't on the left, he will put his hand over his heart exactly as he was told(autism) so he doesn't care. It's just a fun fact about him that nobody believes until they check for themselves.

Soda probably comments on it more than Steve ever thinks about it. Soda's a curious guy, he's probably got his hands and ear all over Steve's chest to find exactly where his heart rests. And that's where he lays at night when Steve comes over and Soda has to camp out on the couch(Sodapop is lactose intolerant and sleeps on the couch when he can't resist ice cream or other dairy besides his morning chocolate milk. He does that so that he doesn't bother Ponyboy with his tummy ache. Occasionally one of the guys ends up coming over, but they have an armchair anyways. Steve the type of guy to lay with his "best friend" though. Steve helps soothe the aches.[little bit of Stevepop... S.E. if you didn't want us to ship them why did you make them so god damn queer.])

Soda comments on Steve's heartbeat as per usual, makes them both think about it for a while, and then they just pass out and forget about it until next time. Steve says he's been meaning to get that checked out. He probably never will unless someone drags his ass to a hospital and makes him an appointment with a cardiologist.

The Outsiders Relationship Needs

Ponyboy / Physical and Verbal Romance / Physical Touch

Pony is definitely a man of praise

Darry putting all the pressure on him to get good grades

he def needs a few hugs and assurance.

No emotional because all that shi doesnt happen in my dr so shut up.

He loves hugs and kisses

snuggles

nose boops

head butts

anything.

He loves being touched in someway.

Like laying together listening to Elvis and The Beatles

he loves hearing your heart beat when he's laying on you.

He loves holding hands and running in fields together.

Pony is such a stinker tho

"Give me your hand, Y/N."

"Not right now, hun. They're sweaty."

-grabs your hand while you're distracted-

Pony seriously is the type of guy to like ...

idk how to describe it, but

if you told him "I love you so much."

and played with his hair

he would melt.

Johnny / Emotional & Verbal Romance / Words of Affirmation

"Ah man, I'm doin' horrible."

"No, Johnnycakes, you're doin' amazin'."

He would start crying.

If you wiped Johnny's tears and comforted him he would be a popsicle on july 4th.

Johnny is definitely the guy to ask someone why they're cryin and they wldnt answer and he'd be reminded of his childhood and immediately go to you.

"Johnny, baby, what's wrong?"

and he would just cry.

The moment he noticed you were fine with him crying and gettin upset at random times was the moment he started falling.

He's a sweet boy, but had too much put on him.

Johnny once told you (when he was black out tired) that he wanted kids so he could give them the childhood he never had.

He still smells like orange peels.

If you play with Johnny's hair while holding him close, he would calm down and melt in your arms.

If you washed his hair for him and told him he was so brave for trusting you, he'd smile wide and his face would slowly light up.

Let him vent to you and Dallas and Addie will immediately trust you.

"Hey, Dally, look at them."

"Huh? Oh. Yeah they ain't hurtin' him."

play Beautiful Boy and he will start crying.

Dally / Emotional, Verbal, and Sexual Romance / Words of Affirmation

Dallas is the kinda guy to go to you for some random reason.

Holding out his St. Christopher: "Hey, doll, look. I fixed it."

"Oh, good job, Dal!"

His expression would soften and he'd immediately pick you up in a hug.

Let him talk to you about New York or his father and let him cry into you.

From that moment on

he is all yours.

He once cried into Sodapop one night

all because he was under too much pressure,

and nobody ever said anything about it.

No one talks about anyone's problems to anyone, especially Dally's or Johnny's.

Dallas would sexualise himself to let out all that grief from childhood.

And the moment you told him

he doesn't need to be sexual to be respected or to be validated

was the moment he handed over his St. Christopher.

He feels he has to sexualise himself

just because he needs that validation.

But he soon figured out it comes in different forms.

"Dallas Tucker. You are so brave and you deserve to be loved, not whatever it is you're doing."

"...what are you doin' to me, man.."

as a single tear runs down his cheek

Sodapop / Physical Romance / Gifts and Quality Time

"Y/N, can we cuddle and watch a movie?"

"Of course! But first I got you something!"

He perks up like a puppy and his eyes always go wide in realisation.

Sodapop loves presents

when Christmas comes along, there is always presents for everyone that say

"to: johnny/darry; From Soda!!", "to: addie and dallas; From poppy<3", "too: steve /two-bit; frum: papi soda", "to: ponyboy michael curtis; from addie and sodapop<3"

always.

from.

soda.

he buys you the cutest things like

bouquets and stuffed animals

but he once bought ponyboy a stick of butter cuz he got his hand stuck in a jar once.

he loves holidays spent with the gang.

christmas huddled at the curtis's, halloween trick-or-treating, valentine's day with stevie, easter egg hunts (when yall were tiny), etc.

He'd so cry when you had to work and he wanted to hang out.

Sodapop loved spending time with addie and pony when they were little, but they grew up too fast, so he spends time with you because you're what he loves most

THIRD NEXT TO STEVE.

Two-Bit / Sexual & Emotional Romance / Acts of Service

Keith doesn't understand the value he has in the group.

Nobody would laugh without him,

nobody would go to the movies without him, etc.

He doesn't understand self-worth so he finds that in sex.

i mean its his third year as a junior.

he once asked addie why she was so down one day

and she just cried.

they both just sat and talked like brother and sister

(cuz the curtis boys forgot she wasnt in the car to go to the movies).

He loves it when people take his feelings into consideration.

Like when he sees "to 2bit frum sodopap"

(sodas handwriting is shit)

he loves it.

Feeling valued and like he matters

makes him happy.

Two-Bit is probably the most puppiest of them all.

Like

once you have him in your grasp

tell eachother about your emotions

and your past...

AND HE IS

ON HIS DEATHBED

(no offense johnny)

ask for his jacket once in awhile and he'll hand it over, he loves being kind

sometimes he'll give change to homeless people on the street just because he feels like it.

he once gave you his whole wallet to prove his love for you.

Steve / Verbal Romance / Words of Affirmation and Quality Time

"Stevie, you know you're so much more than your weight or your muscles."

and hes over here snot crying in fetal position.

hes head over heels for you and if you watch a movie with him and tell him hes so pretty or sum

he'll give you the moon.

Soda rn: damn. someone took my bitch.

Steve is the typa guy to want to spend time with you but not want to ask to or sum

THEN HE GETS PISSED???

LIKE... YOU DIDNT ASK YOU SHLDNT BE UPSET

But you comfort him anyways and push him out of that

He's such a sucker for you

like kiss him after the rumble

and tell him he looks tuff with his tooth missing

Darry / Physical Romance / Words of Affirmation

Cuddles.

Darrell loves cuddles.

Lay on his chest and tell him he's pretty

please he'll do anything.

Darry is def a guy to like

but

when you come along

"Hey Handsome"

HE WILL SMILEEEE

just ask him abt his day

let him cry in your arms.

hed be so in love that when he proposes

its a candlelit area at the park

and there are roses lined up like a heart.

Addie / Emotional and Physical Romance / Words of Affirmation and Gifts

If anything happened to her you gotta tell her its not her fault.

Tell her that and she will cry even harder but in a good way.

She loves gifts.

Sodapop spoils her on her birthday every single year

means you gotta Step up yo game bitch.

Listen to her

get her something shes mentioned she wanted and she is

AHAHAHA GET TEARS FOR FEARSED.

but addie isnt much of a Touch Person.

she doesnt care for hugs unless she needs one shes ok with kisses and hates holding hands or being touched on her waist and neck.

but if you wanna show affection

ask bout her day and what not

shes a lot like darry mixed with soda.
