“I can do it myself.” … “I know.”
HIIII!!! This is about gentle, army love. She is hurt and stubborn, he can read her like a book and knows she’s in pain. So he steps in without asking. And maybe—just maybe—she’ll let him in.

Sugar and Grease
Y/N Y/L/N is everything a Soc girl is supposed to be — polite, pretty, well‑mannered, and raised in a house where perfection is the bare minimum. But the truth is, she feels more at home at the tiny border‑town diner where she works evenings, pouring coffee for truckers and tuning up her old Mustang in the garage out back. She’s gentle, soft‑spoken, and nothing like the cold, sharp world she comes from. The Greasers don’t know that. To them, she’s just another Soc. Darry Curtis especially wants nothing to do with her. He’s seen too many rich kids sneer at his brothers to believe any of them could be different. But when the gang wanders into the diner one slow night, they find Y/N behind the counter — smiling, kind, and absolutely nothing like the girls who laugh at them at school. And Darry notices. He hates that he notices. Y/N tries to keep her distance, especially with Bob Sheldon constantly hovering around her, insisting she “belongs with her own kind.” She doesn’t like Bob’s attention — and Darry likes it even less. As the diner becomes a quiet meeting place between two worlds, Y/N and Darry keep crossing paths. She learns the Greasers aren’t dangerous — just tired of being treated like they are. Darry learns Y/N isn’t stuck‑up — just stuck. Enemies by assumption. Friends by accident. Something more by the time either of them realizes it.

Y/N has lately developed insomnia. And she perfectly hides it by… acting the same. Acting like everything is okay. That 𝐬𝐡𝐞 is okay. But she’s exhausted. Literally drained. And that absolutely kills him. Dallas Carter. He just wants to be the person she can feel safe enough with to sleep.

VAVaLoRiEhOlLaNd“I don’t trust cops.” -D.C
Tulsa is split clean down the middle — Socs on one side, Greasers on the other — and Y/N is one of the few people who between both worlds. As a young cop, she joined the force to help people, not to intimidate them. But on the east side, a badge means trouble no matter who’s wearing it. The Greasers don’t trust her. They don’t trust any cop. And Darry Curtis trusts her least of all. Darry’s spent years protecting his brothers from a system that sees them as criminals first and kids second. So when Officer Y/L/N keeps showing up on their street — calm voice, steady hands, trying to prove she’s different — he wants nothing to do with her. Or with whatever she thinks she’s doing. But she sees things the other officers ignore. She sees the unfairness, the fear, the way the Greasers brace themselves whenever a cruiser slows down. And she sees Darry — the weight he carries, the responsibility he never asked for, the fire in him that matches her own. As tensions between Socs and Greasers rise, she finds herself caught in the middle. She’s supposed to enforce the law. Darry’s supposed to stay far away from her. Yet the more their paths cross, the more the lines between them blur. Enemies by circumstance. Allies by accident. Something more neither of them meant to find.
