Dallas Winston

dating dallas winston means getting used to a lot of things: his temper, his troublemaking, and the fact that he always seems to have somewhere else to be. what you didn’t sign up for was becoming the girl waiting around for her own boyfriend. there’s always another fight. another night he’s gone. another argument where dally tells you to quit worrying because he’s fine, and you remind him that you’re his girlfriend, not some girl he sees whenever he feels like it. dally thinks you’ll always be there when he comes back. he’s never stopped to wonder what happens when you aren’t waiting anymore.

Sodapop Curtis

sodapop curtis has two rules: never leave his brothers hanging, and never let his girl go to bed mad at him. he’s usually pretty good at the second one. after one too many rumbles, you make soda promise he’s done fighting. he agrees, kisses your cheek, and tells you there’s nothing to worry about. then another rumble comes around, and soda does exactly what he promised he wouldn’t. he comes home expecting an argument he can fix with a grin and a few sweet words. instead, he finds a girlfriend who’s tired of worrying, tired of broken promises, and tired of wondering why his word seems to mean so little. for once, sodapop curtis can’t charm his way out of the trouble he’s brought home.

Dallas Winston

Dallas Winston can scare just about anyone into shutting up. unfortunately for him, you’re not just anyone. You’re his Soc girlfriend, his favorite headache, and the one girl in Tulsa who would rather argue with him for three hours than admit he’s right about anything. He calls you doll. You call him an arrogant pain in the ass. He steals your things. You threaten to throw his entire wardrobe out the window. He tells you what to do. You do the exact opposite. And somehow, against all reasonable judgment, you’re dating. The gang has front-row seats to the disaster. Two-Bit has started keeping track of how many times you threaten to dump Dally in a week. Soda thinks it’s hilarious. Steve is convinced you’ll either get married or kill each other before graduation. Dally insists you’re the biggest pain in his life. Funny, considering he’s always looking for you at the drive-in, saving you a seat without asking, and getting an attitude whenever another boy makes you laugh a little too hard. But you know better than to mistake his jealousy for romance or his stubbornness for an apology. Loving Dallas Winston doesn’t mean letting him win every argument, and being his girl doesn’t mean putting up with everything he does. So when Dally finally pushes you too far, you do something nobody in Tulsa expects. You stop arguing. You stop chasing him. And, for the first time in your relationship, you let Dallas Winston figure things out on his own. Turns out, the only thing Dally Winston hates more than being told he’s wrong is realizing you might actually be right.

Steve Harrington

Steve Harrington and Y/N had been dating long enough that pretty much everyone in Hawkins knew about them. They were the couple people expected to see together at school, around town, or at the mall. Steve loved the attention that came with it. He’d walk through the halls with that familiar confidence, arm around Y/N’s shoulder like he owned the place, completely aware that people were watching. Y/N, on the other hand, couldn’t care less. After graduating, she started working at the food court in the mall, which quickly became one of Steve’s favorite places to hang around. He’d show up after class, lean against the counter while she worked, and act like he had nowhere else to be. “You know you’re allowed to go home, right?” Steve would shrug. “Why would I do that?” “Because you’re annoying my coworkers.” “They like me.” “They tolerate you.” He’d grin like he’d won the argument anyway. Steve was still Steve. He liked being popular, loved attention, and had a habit of acting like he was the coolest person in any room. Y/N knew better than anyone that half of his confidence was just him enjoying the reaction he got from people. She was also one of the only people who could completely humble him. If Steve started showing off, Y/N could shut him down with one look. If he started bragging, she’d barely react. And if he tried to impress her, she’d usually just laugh. Steve secretly loved it. The only thing he didn’t love was when other guys at the mall started talking to her. He’d pretend he wasn’t bothered. He absolutely was. One afternoon, a guy from another store came over while Y/N was working and started talking to her. Steve happened to be sitting nearby with Dustin, and the second he noticed, his expression changed. Dustin caught it immediately. “You’re jealous.” “I’m not jealous.” “You look jealous.” “I don’t look jealous.” “You definitely look jealous.” Steve ignored him and walked over anyway. Y/N immediately noticed. “Steve.” “What”

Dallas Winston

Nobody knows Y/N is dating Dallas Winston. She’s a Soc. He’s a Greaser. And in public, they make sure everyone believes they can’t stand each other. At school, they walk past each other like strangers. At the drive-in, they stay with their separate groups and pretend not to notice each other. At Soc parties, Dallas keeps his distance while Y/N acts like he isn’t even there. Sometimes, they even fake arguments just to make the act convincing. Dallas is determined to keep it that way. He knows exactly what would happen if the Greasers or Socs found out, and he doesn’t want Y/N dragged into the middle of it. But keeping a relationship secret is one thing. Pretending they hate each other every day is another.

Dallas Winston

Tulsa has two kinds of people: girls like Y/N and boys like Dallas Winston. She’s the sweetheart every mother wants for a daughter, every father wants for a son-in-law, and every Soc boy thinks he has a chance with. He’s the Greaser every parent warns their daughter about. Naturally, she’s the one girl he can’t seem to stay away from. Dally Winston has never understood what a girl like Y/N sees in him. She’s got good manners, a good family, and a future that doesn’t involve getting into trouble with a bunch of Greasers. He figures she’ll get bored of him eventually, or worse, decide he’s exactly the kind of boy everyone says he is. But Y/N has never been particularly good at listening to other people. She doesn’t care about his reputation. She doesn’t scare easily, either. And she’s got a nasty habit of smiling at him right before telling him what an absolute idiot he is. Dally thinks she’s ridiculous. Her parents think he’s trouble. And neither of them can explain why a chance encounter keeps turning into another afternoon together. She was raised to stay away from boys like him. He was raised to know girls like her never choose boys like him. Maybe they’re both about to be wrong.

Sodapop Curtis

Sodapop Curtis can flirt with every girl in tulsa. Except, apparently, you. It’s honestly impressive. The boy has girls smiling at the gas station, blushing at the drive-in, and finding excuses to visit the Curtis house. He can charm his way out of trouble, talk his way into free food, and make practically anyone fall for that stupid grin of his. But when it comes to you? Suddenly, he’s an idiot. You’re a Soc. He’s a Greaser. You steal his fries, insult his hair, and remind him daily that he’s not nearly as charming as he thinks he is. Somewhere along the way, you become best friends, and life settles into a comfortable routine of late-night drives, constant teasing, and Soda showing up whenever you need him. You don’t think much of it. After all, Soda flirts with everyone. You’re not special. Except he’s never once forgotten your favorite song. He always saves you a seat, remembers every boy you’ve ever mentioned, and gets strangely quiet whenever you talk about finding someone to date. And Soda? He’s been in love with you for months. Unfortunately, telling you that is apparently harder than anything he’s ever done. So he keeps joking. You keep missing the hints. Steve wants to strangle him, Two-Bit has started taking bets, and Ponyboy is beginning to wonder if his brother has suffered some sort of head injury. Then you meet a Soc boy who actually asks you out. And suddenly, Sodapop Curtis has a problem. Because it’s easy to flirt with every girl in Tulsa when the one girl you want has no idea you want her.

Dallas Winston

Dallas Winston left Tulsa like he had nothing to lose. Unfortunately, he left you, too. You were never officially his girl. Dally never asked you to be, never admitted he wanted you around, and never gave you a reason to believe he’d stay. But you loved him anyway. When he left Tulsa, you spent months wondering if he’d ever come back. Eventually, you stopped waiting. You made new friends, went on dates, and learned how to live without a boy who never knew what to do with you. Then Dallas Winston comes home. He expects the same girl who used to save him a seat at the drive-in, argue with him until midnight, and look at him like he could do no wrong. Instead, he gets a girl who barely looks his way. And Dally, who’s never had much trouble getting what he wants, suddenly has no idea how to get you back. The worst part? You still know him better than anyone. You still laugh at his stupid jokes. And sometimes, when he looks at you the way he used to, you almost forget why you stopped waiting. But you’re not the girl he left behind anymore. And if Dallas Winston wants another chance, he’s going to have to prove that coming home means more than just showing up.

Steve Harrington

They were never supposed to become friends. Y/N and Steve Harrington barely spoke before a school project forced them to exchange notes. The project ends. The notes don’t. What starts as homework slowly turns into late-night thoughts, stupid jokes, embarrassing stories, and things neither of them would ever say out loud. At school, they still barely talk. They just happen to know each other’s handwriting by heart. And maybe that’s the problem. Because it’s easy to tell someone everything when you don’t have to look them in the eyes. It’s a lot harder when you realize you’re starting to like the person sitting three desks away.

Steve Harrington

Moving to Hawkins was supposed to be a fresh start for Y/N Mayfield. As Max’s older sister, she’s used to looking out for her, dealing with Billy, and pretending she isn’t annoyed about having to start over somewhere new. Then she meets Steve Harrington. Steve knows her as Max’s sister at first. Y/N knows him as the guy everyone at school seems to know. She isn’t particularly impressed. Which, naturally, makes Steve interested. He starts finding excuses to talk to her, hanging around whenever Max is around, and somehow always ending up wherever Y/N happens to be. Y/N doesn’t think much of it. Max does. Because Max figures out almost immediately that Steve Harrington has a crush on her sister. And watching him try to hide it becomes way too entertaining to keep to herself.

Y/N is Dustin’s older sister, works at the arcade, babysits Dustin and his friends, and keeps to herself. Steve has always had to work for her attention because she constantly brushes him off, even though they’re secretly dating. Only their families know, while everyone else thinks Steve is still trying to win her over. They meet secretly after work, around town, and through Steve’s occasional late-night visits to her window. Steve knows her routine, never pressures her, and keeps finding ways to stay close to her. Meanwhile, Dustin is starting to notice that Steve seems to know way too much about his sister.

Johnny Cade

You could talk for hours. Johnny Cade could listen for days. You’re loud, opinionated, and physically incapable of telling a short story. You argue with Two-Bit for entertainment, annoy Ponyboy on purpose, and have never met a silence you didn’t feel the need to fill. Johnny, your boyfriend of several months, is a little different. He doesn’t talk much. He doesn’t like being the center of attention. And if you ask him a question in front of the entire gang, he’ll probably shrug and let you answer it yourself. But get him alone with you, and suddenly he’s got jokes. Quiet ones. Sneaky ones. The kind that make you stop halfway through a sentence just to stare at him before bursting out laughing. The gang thinks you’re the only entertaining one in this relationship. Johnny thinks you’re all idiots. He just happens to be dating his favorite idiot. He’s also the boy who remembers every little thing you tell him, even when you’ve forgotten saying it. Your favorite song, your usual order, the name of the person who ruined your Tuesday three weeks ago. You can talk about absolutely nothing for an hour, and somehow Johnny remembers all of it. The gang doesn’t get it. How did the quietest boy they know end up with a girlfriend who could talk for hours without taking a breath? But Johnny knows things about you that nobody else notices. Your favorite songs, the little things that ruin your day, and the difference between your usual complaints and the things that actually bother you. You think he’s just a good listener. You don’t realize how much he remembers. And when the girl who always has something to say suddenly goes quiet, Johnny is the first to notice. Because Johnny Cade might not say much, but he’s been listening to you all along.

Matt Dillon

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.

your brother has one rule for dallas winston: stay away from his little sister. unfortunately, dally has never been particularly good at following instructions. you’re a soc girl with an attitude problem. he’s a greaser with a criminal record and a mouth that never seems to know when to stop. you think he’s obnoxious, arrogant, and possibly the most unbearable person in tulsa. he thinks you’re spoiled, bossy, and way too pretty for your own good. naturally, you can’t stand each other. at least, that’s what you tell everyone. between the arguments in your kitchen, the insults thrown across your living room, and the constant bickering that has two-bit considering charging admission, dallas winston has somehow become a permanent fixture in your life. he calls you princess just to watch you get angry. you threaten to throw his jacket out the window. he makes fun of your boyfriends. you remind him that nobody has ever asked him for relationship advice. it’s an arrangement that works perfectly. until the arguments start feeling a little too personal, the jealousy gets a little too obvious, and dally begins showing up even when your brother isn’t home. because there’s one thing worse than falling for your best friend’s little sister. it’s falling for a girl who would rather die than let you win an argument.

Johnny Cade

Being the only girl in the Greaser gang has never been a problem for Y/N. She argues with Dally, laughs at Two-Bit’s jokes, hangs around the Curtis brothers, and has been Johnny Cade’s best friend for as long as she can remember. Johnny knows her better than anyone. Which is exactly why falling for her is such a terrible idea. He’s convinced she’ll never see him as anything more than her best friend, so he keeps his feelings to himself. He still walks her home, saves her a seat, and finds excuses to spend time with her. He just gets a little quieter whenever she smiles at him for too long. Unfortunately for Johnny, the gang isn’t blind. Dally has his suspicions. Two-Bit thinks the whole thing is hilarious. And Ponyboy is starting to wonder how two people can spend practically every waking hour together without realizing what’s right in front of them. Meanwhile, Y/N is beginning to wonder when her best friend became the boy she can’t stop thinking about. Maybe falling for your best friend isn’t the problem. Maybe it’s being the last two people to figure it out.

Dallas Winston

Dallas Winston (Dally) has a lot of problems. Unfortunately for him, Y/N is one of them. Being the only girl in the Greaser gang has never stopped Y/N from giving the boys a hard time, especially Dally. They argue over practically everything, trade insults like it’s a hobby, and refuse to let the other have the last word. As far as everyone knows, they can’t stand each other. So why does Dally always notice when she’s missing? Why does he get defensive when someone else messes with her? And why is Y/N the only person who can tell when he’s lying about being fine? Neither of them is willing to admit that there’s something more going on. Dally would rather swallow his pride than confess he cares, and Y/N would rather argue with him for another hour than admit she’s started looking forward to it. Unfortunately, the gang has eyes. And when your favorite person to fight with becomes the person you look for in every room, things get a little complicated. Especially when you’re Dallas Winston’s favorite pain in the neck.

Dallas Winston isn’t exactly the kind of person Y/N is supposed to associate with. She’s a Soc. He’s a Greaser. They’ve crossed paths plenty of times, usually with Dallas making some smart comment and Y/N giving it right back. Neither of them particularly likes the other. At least, that’s what Y/N tells herself. Then one night, she catches Dallas getting himself into trouble. She could tell someone. Instead, she walks away. Dallas doesn’t understand why a Soc would keep quiet for him. A few days later, they’re both stuck waiting at the police station, with no friends around and nothing to do but talk. One conversation turns into another. And somehow, the guy Y/N was always supposed to stay away from becomes the one person she keeps running into. Maybe Dallas Winston isn’t as easy to figure out as she thought. And maybe Y/N isn’t as predictable as he thought, either.

Steve Harrington

Y/N and Steve Harrington are both seniors, and they’ve never exactly gotten along. They’ve known each other through Nancy for years, but somewhere along the way, their friendship turned into constant competition. Neither can resist getting the last word, and neither is willing to admit when the other is right. The younger kids absolutely love it. Dustin, Mike, Lucas, and Will see Y/N as the cool older girl they can actually trust, while Max is especially close to her. Since Y/N is Max’s older cousin, the two are practically like sisters. Y/N is also the group’s unofficial babysitter—the person they call whenever they need a ride, advice, or someone to keep an eye on them. Unfortunately for Y/N, Steve keeps getting dragged into the same babysitting duties. Every time they’re stuck watching the kids together, they argue over everything. Y/N thinks Steve is irresponsible and way too full of himself. Steve thinks Y/N takes everything too seriously and enjoys bossing everyone around. Neither of them is particularly impressed by the other. Steve is used to being considered the cool guy at school, but Y/N is one of the few people who doesn’t care. He can brag, show off, or try to charm her, and she’ll barely react. That drives him insane. Steve has also learned exactly how to get under her skin. He knows her little habits, remembers the things she hates, and brings them up whenever he wants to annoy her. Y/N knows his weaknesses just as well. Max notices all of it. She finds their arguments hilarious and has absolutely no problem making things worse whenever she gets the chance. Dustin and the others aren’t much better, often treating Y/N and Steve’s arguments like they’re watching a show. Senior year only makes everything more chaotic.

He’s a Greaser. They don’t talk. Then one night at the drive-in, Y/N makes a very simple mistake. She gets into the wrong car. What she thinks belongs to Cherry, Marcia, Bob, and Randy actually belongs to Johnny Cade. It should’ve been nothing more than an embarrassing misunderstanding. Instead, it’s the first real conversation they’ve ever had. And sometimes, all it takes is one wrong car to put two people on the same side of the conversation.

One conversation turns into borrowed books, notes left between pages, and eventually, walking home together after school. Neither of them thinks it’s a big deal. Their friends definitely do. Because apparently, a Soc girl and a Greaser becoming friends is enough to start rumors. And the more time Y/N and Ponyboy spend together, the harder it becomes to pretend they’re just two people who happen to take the same way home.
