In which Matt Dillon falls in love on the set of The Outsiders and accidentally makes it everyone’s problem. The year is 1983. The Outsiders is in production, a group of young actors is taking Hollywood by storm, and Matt Dillon is supposed to be focused on playing Dallas Winston. Instead, he’s busy falling for Y/N. It starts with sitting beside her between takes. Then it’s finding excuses to make her laugh, remembering every little thing she tells him, and somehow always knowing where she is on set. Before long, Matt has developed such an embarrassing crush that his castmates are convinced he’s lost his mind. And it only gets worse when he realizes that if he wants to keep seeing Y/N after filming wraps, he’ll have to find another reason to be around her. So naturally, Matt Dillon decides the best solution is to accept practically any acting job that might put them on the same set again. A questionable script? He’ll read it. A ridiculous character? He’ll consider it. A costume that could permanently damage his reputation as Hollywood’s next heartthrob? Well, does Y/N have a role in it? Ralph Macchio thinks he’s pathetic. C. Thomas Howell will never let him live it down. Patrick Swayze is tired of hearing excuses. And Diane Lane, who’s developing a crush on Matt herself, is beginning to realize that getting his attention might be harder than she expected. Because no matter how much time Diane spends with him, Matt always seems to be looking for the same girl. And Y/N? She’s just trying to get through filming without realizing that her co-star is planning his entire future around the possibility of seeing her again. Matt Dillon came to play dallas winston. He left with a crush, a questionable career plan, and absolutely no chance of beating the allegations.
