⮞ Pony acts like he doesn’t care when you walk by, but he always notices.
⮞ His pencil stops moving, his eyes flick up, and he chews on his lip like it’s a nervous tic.
⮞ He memorizes the color of her headband every day. Pink on Mondays. Baby blue on Thursdays.
⮞ The day you wore one of those tight checkered tops? He nearly died. He turned redder than the squares in your clothing.
⮞ His school notebooks are filled with little doodles of hearts, curly cursive versions of your name, and once, a whole practice signature of his name + yours. —which Two-Bit found and has never let him live down
⮞ He imagines what it'd be like to go to prom with you.
⮞ His leather jacket over your shoulders. Your her hair all rolled up and nice, and he picks you up on the back of Steve's car.
⮞ Sometimes he zones out in class just thinking about holding your hand. Not even kissing—just pinky brushing pinky and boom, he’s toast.
⮞ Every time you talk to him, his voice cracks or he stammers, which only makes you giggle and he melts like a popsicle on the Fourth of July.
⮞ He never knows what to do with his hands when you're near. He tucks them in his jacket pockets, then takes them out, then scratches the back of his neck like an awkward puppy.
⮞ He starts bringing gum just to offer you one and get one of your smiles.
⮞ He sometimes writes you anonymous poems and slips them into your locker when you aren't looking. He always catchs a glimpse of you reading it, giggling and smiling all wide, with your girl friends all aweing at the note.
⮞ He can never find a believable enough excuse to explain to Darry why he's so giddy when he comes home those days.
⮞ Every time you compliment him—his writing, his hair, his jacket—he turns pinker than the strawberry milk you drink at lunch lol
⮞ When you walk together (always after dark so no one sees), he always walks on the outside of the sidewalk like Soda taught him.
⮞ If another Soc guy so much as glances at you the wrong way, his jaw tenses—but he doesn’t throw fists. He just writes about it on his journal later.
⮞ Once he's caught your interest he starts taking care of himself more.
⮞ He uses more pomade, makes sure his collar’s clean, brushes his teeth twice (even Darry’s like “what’s gotten into you?”).
⮞ He uses a little too much cologne, but it’s kinda cute cause it’s the cheap kind Soda wears and he’s just trying to smell 'good enough' for you.
⮞ He watches you from afar when he thinks you're not looking. In the library, at lunch, even across the lot when you're with your friends.
⮞ You always give him that sweet little wave and he raises his hand in the shyest half-wave like he’s afraid you'll change your mind halfway🥺
⮞ When she talks to Bob or Randy, even politely, he gets so sulky it's lowkey cute lmao😭 ^He’ll literally go smoke behind the bleachers.
⮞ He fantasizes about meeting your parents, wishing he had a nicer jacket and better grades.
⮞ Imagines saying “Yes sir, no ma’am,” while holding your hand under the dinner table.
⮞ His journal? Straight-up a shrine.
⮞ He collects everything you give him. Little scraps of notes you've passed him in class, a flower you once dropped, a napkin with your lipstick mark on it.
⮞ Speaking of lipstick.. Your red lipstick drives him crazy, like crazy crazy. He just wants you to kiss him all over his face and leave a thousand kiss marks on his cheeks and lips so everyone knows he's yours, though he's too shy to ever admit such dreamy little fantasy to you.
⮞ If you cry, he’s done.
⮞ He drops everything and goes straight into panicked-comforting mode. Wraps his arms around you so gently it feels like he thinks you're made of porcelain.
⮞ Your glossy lips, little hair bows, the way you taps your pen when you're bored? It kills him.
⮞ You once asked if you could wear his jacket. He couldn’t speak for a full minute and then just nodded, dumbstruck.
⮞ When you gave it back it smelt like your perfume and he swore he would never wash it again.
⮞ The boys tease him to death.
⮞ Soda ruffles his hair when he sees you walk by like, “That’s your girl, huh?”
⮞ Steve is always acting annoyed about Ponyboy's sappy stuff and always makes comments like: “You gonna write her name in the sky next?”
⮞ Two-Bit actually threathened him with serenading you two with a ukulele.
Ponyboy doesn’t want to steal you from your world. He just wants to earn his place in it.

Suna Rintarou has ignored you for seven hours, twenty-three minutes, and forty-five seconds. Not that you’re counting. He hadn’t looked at you when you waved good morning. Didn’t reply when you texted him during lunch. And now, during practice, he’s pretending you don’t exist—unless it’s to rotate away the second you step near him. Which is why you’ve had it.
You march across the gym floor with fire in your veins, stopping right in front of him during a water break. The rest of the team goes quiet, curious eyes flicking between you and the tall, unbothered middle blocker who’s carefully unwrapping sports tape like it's the most fascinating thing in the world.
“Rin, what the hell is your problem?”
Suna doesn’t even look at you. “I don’t have a problem.”
“Bullshit. You’ve been ignoring me all day.”
He scoffs. “Why don’t you just go hang out with your boyfriend?”
You blink. “I’m sorry— my what now?”
Now he looks at you. Flat expression. Bored tone. “The guy you hugged this morning.”
You stare at him. Then you laugh—one short, incredulous breath. “You mean my little cousin?”
Suna freezes. A beat. Another beat. A visible oh, shit creeps across his face as the team collectively chokes behind you.
“Oh,” he mutters. “Well. He was… tall.”
You slap his arm. “He’s, like, an inch taller than me. And he was just thanking me for lunch money.”
“Well, it didn’t look innocent,” he grumbles, ears now bright pink.
“Are you serious right now?! You’ve been sulking all day over my cousin?”
He shrugs and drops his gaze. “Didn’t know he was your cousin.”
You narrow your eyes. “And what if he wasn’t?”
Silence. The team holds its breath.
Suna exhales, then mutters, “Then I wouldn’t like it.”
Your heart stutters.
His eyes meet yours again—and this time, he really looks at you. His voice is no longer bored. It’s quiet. Honest. “Seeing you with someone else, I mean.”
You tilt your head, a smile curling on your lips—sharp and smug. "Then do something about it.”
Behind you, Atsumu lets out a low, delighted cackle. “Ohhh, shiiit—she got you.”
You don’t wait for a response. Just turn on your heel, walking out of the gym with your head held high. But not before glancing back once—
And catching Suna frozen in place, face red, as the entire team starts swarming him with grins, whistles, and way too much noise. You smile to yourself.
Let him squirm.
Darry is a reader at a level to rival Ponyboy
He reads all sorts of books, and is an avid enjoyer of romance (but you could not waterboard that information out of him)
Darry absolutely HATES history with a burning passion
In a modern day high school au, you would regularly see him crashing out over APUSH tests
When he was real little, from the time after Soda was born until he and Darry could actually talk to each other, Darry wanted a parrot because he wanted somebody to talk to that wasn’t his parents
This also happened to coincide with his pirate phase
y’know, kill two birds with one stone
He still thinks birds that can talk are pretty neat, especially crows
He absolutely loves baseball
Darry played all through his school years before quitting after his freshman year to focus on football (if he hadn’t played football, he would have 100% played baseball)
That man is MOISTURIZED. If he does not put lotion on after every single shower, his skin literally hurts
He and Ponyboy share that in common
Darry also cannot draw for shit
He loves playing cards, and he has a great poker face
He eats his s’mores with a Reese’s instead of Hershey’s
Darry would sleep ridiculously late on the weekends in high school, unless he had plans
He has always been a ridiculously deep sleeper. There could be a tornado actively blowing the house apart and he still would not wake up
But he only needs one alarm in the morning
HOWEVER. If anybody speaks to him in the half an hour after he has woken up, he will not respond and will look at them with murder eyes
Has really neat penmanship, but in the way that a lot of men do, where lowercase letters look like uppercase letters, just smaller
In later years, he is a really big fan of Billy Joel, Jim Croce, and the Eagles
Darry is absolutely petrified of heights
He has a really nice singing voice, and he often sings along with the radio or record player
Imagine being grabbed by the face like this by Al
