DALLAS WINSTON FLUFF ALPHABET

dallas winston x fem! reader (curtis or not, your preference!)

requested? yes | no

note these are my opinons so 😚 they may stray a bit from canon. also this is unedited so ignore spelling and grammar mistakes ! ! !

a = attractive (what do they find attractive about their partner?)

physical: he loves your hands—they fit right into his, like that is all they were made for. he gets into fights a lot: his hands are often bruised and cut, so he loves when you wrap yours around his. also, titties!

mental: dal LOVES your humour. he rarely finds others to be genuinely funny, but he has never faked a laugh around you.

b = baby (do they want a family? why/why not?)

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA no! dal hates kids, they freak him out, and even his girlfriend wanting kids won't change that.

he thinks he would make a lousy father, and he also doesn't want to bring a child into a world that he hates so much.

c = cuddle (how do they like to cuddle?)

he likes when you lean your head onto his chest and he can wrap his arms around you. he likes any position where he feels like he is protecting you, shielding you from the world.

it takes a bit to make him cuddly. he will NEVER be like that in front of the guys, he thinks it makes him look weak and vulnerable (his worst nightmare!). so complete privacy, and often a few drinks in his system, before he starts cuddling. if he's had a bad day, it takes even more coaxing.

d = dreams (how do they picture their future with their s/o?)

he doesn't have a detailed vision of his own future, due to the unpredictable nature of his life. he never knew where'd he be living or if he'd be in jail, so he decided a long time ago to stop worrying about it. now, he does intend to support you as you pursue your dreams. always. wherever your life takes you, he will follow.

e = everything (you are my ____ (e.g. my life, my world…))

saviour.

generally speaking, dallas has never been on a great path. between violence and crime, and some shitty relationships, he is well aware that you are the best thing that's happened to him. that you have saved him from dark emotional places, and he wants to be better for you.

f = feelings (when did they know they’re in love?)

dal is finally confronted with his feelings when another girl is trying to hit on him at a party. she's very pretty, totally dal's type, but...he has a gnawing guilt. now it's not like you're dating or anything, you haven't even had a conversation about maybe possibly dating. he is free to do as he pleases, but he tells the girl that he's not available.

i'm whipped, he thinks.

g = gratitude (how grateful are they in general? are they aware of what their s/o does for them?)

he doesn't like when people do things for him, because then he feels like he owes them something in return. but when you do something small for him, he is very grateful for it, even if he doesn't acknowledge it much.

h = honesty (do they have secrets they hide from their s/o?)

yes, dal tries to be pretty open and vulnerable when you're alone together, but there are some things that he just doesn't say. there are details of his past that he isn't proud of, or that hurt too much to mention.

anything that pertains to you or your relationship though? he's pretty honest.

i = injury (how would they react if you got hurt?)

if you hurt yourself by tripping or falling over, he's gonna tell you how damn clumsy you are, with his big laugh (y'all know the one).

if someone else hurts you, it's an entirely different story. he'll track them down to personally teach them a lesson.

j = jealousy (do they get jealous? how do they deal with it)

he's got so many trust issues so jealousy is second nature to him...if you're talking with/hanging around someone he trusts, like your collective friend group, he tries his best to be fair. you deserve friends and other people in your life besides him. but if someone is hitting on you? oh lord.

he'll start with verbally attacking them...telling them to get their fucking hands off you or he'll beat their ass, basically. he's not scared of immediately throwing punches, but he knows that you hate when he instigates fights so willingly, so he gives them a chance to run off first. if that doesn't work, if they ignore him? he can't contain himself, and he's gonna create a massive fight.

because of this, everyone in tulsa is well aware that dal will protect you no matter what. people keep their hands to themselves if they know what's good for them.

k = kiss (how do they kiss you? how do they like to be kissed?)

in public, he's quick. you get a small peck or kiss to the back of your hand, if anything. otherwise, he cups your face in his hands and takes his sweet time. he loves lazy make out sessions, so your lips are swollen like one hundred percent of the time!

l = love (who says ‘i love you’ first?)

you.

dal knows earlier on that he's in love with you, but he doesn't say that word until you do. he's too scared of being vulnerable and getting rejected to say it first.

even after it has been said, he doesn't throw the word love around casually. he saves it for special occasions, or when he knows you need it.

m = memory (what’s their favorite memory together?)

probably, before you were officially dating, when you went to the drive in. it was a scary movie and at one particular jumpscare, you grabbed his hand without realizing.

dal is used to being seen as the scariest person in any given room, but the fact that you went to him for safety?!????)?!!!?! if he wasn't such a hardass, he might just tear up!

n = nickel (do they spoil? do they buy the person they love everything?)

he's got no money, so he won't be buying much. he'll steal it though! gladly!

he loves when you borrow his leather jacket in particular, it makes him so happy (even if he doesn't show and pretends to be cold).

o = open (when would they start revealing things about themselves? do they say everything all at once or wait a while to reveal things slowly?)

he is not one for reminiscing, mainly because his childhood was so terrible. he doesn't like thinking about his life before you were in it. even when he does start to be more open and honest (several months into the relationship), he doesn't say everything. there are some things you are better off not knowing.

p = pet names (what pet names do they use?)

"doll" is a go to for him. he uses it on any occasion, and more so than your actual name.

"sweetheart" is saved for when you're upset about something, and he's trying to help. it makes his new york accent shine through so it's more like "sweethaaaht"

if he is trying to embarrass you/he's being sarcastic he's gonna call you something like "sugar plum pookie bear honey bun" cause he thinks it's hilarious, and everyone knows it's a joke.

"princess," if he's being a tease...

q = questions (what are the questions they’re always asking?)

"d'ya want anythin?" he asks, whether he's going to get a drink at a party, or running to get food. the gang points out that he only asks you this. if any of the guys (besides johnny) tried to send him with an order, he'll tell them to screw off and get it themselves.

"where are ya?" he finds it comforting to know where you are, not in a stalker-ish way, he just wants to know that you're safe.

r = rainy day (what do they like to do on a rainy day?)

dal doesn't give a fuck about the weather, he's gonna go cause chaos, rain or shine.

now if you're scared of the rain/thunder, he's on his way. he pretends it's silly and that he thinks your fear is stupid, but he loves when you cling onto him.

s = sad (how do they cheer themselves/s/o up?)

when he's sad? he likes to get piss drunk and forget about the thing that's upsetting him. it isn't until he starts dating you that he realizes others don't find that comforting. now, this is still dallas winston we're talking about. he gets incredibly uncomfortable if you cry infront of him, he has no idea what to say. he'll put a hand on your shoulder until you calm down. he will usually try to undo the thing that upset you, make it okay again, but sometimes he just can't.

with time (lots and lots of time) he gets better at comforting you. still, he's no sodapop. but he'll say things like "i's okay, doll" and "what happened?" rather than sitting in uncomfortable silence.

t = talking (what do they like to talk about?)

he likes to listen to you, offering commentary and teasing, rather than talking himself. he'll talk about random things going on at bucks, parties in the area, and his friends sometimes. he used to talk about all the chicks he wanted to hook up with, but those days are over...

*the gang is incredibly thankful those days are over...he used to overshare about the craziest sex stuff.

u = understanding (how well do they know their partner? are they empathetic?)

he tries to be an observant boyfriend, noticing what makes you happy and what makes you tick, but he's not used to caring about the people around him that much.

he also finds some of the small things you get upset over (a bad mark, an argument with a friend, etc) to be stupid/not worth the fuss. this is mainly because he's been in gangs and prison and knows that those details are minuscule in reality. still, he doesn't say that cause he knows it would upset you even more. so no, he's not the most empathetic, but never outright mean about it.

v = value (how important is the relationship to them? what is it worth in comparison to other things in their life?)

your relationship is the individual most important thing in dal's life, it's one of the things he values most. he can't believe you're his.

w = wedding (when, where, and how do they propose?)

he doesn't. he wants to spend the rest of his life with you and he knows a paper and a ceremony isn't gonna make any difference. also, the vulnerability is too much for him. even on a good day.

x = xoxo (how affectionate are they? in public/in private)

in public, he is only affectionate if he has to be. for example, if someone is trying to hit on you, he’s all over you. otherwise, you can only expect a hand hold or hug occasionally, and only if he is feeling extremely happy (not often!)

in private, he eases up a little. he is touch starved, so he can be really sweet when he wants to. but he isn't obsessed with 24/7 affection either. occasionally, he’ll cuddle into you and let his arm run up and down your arm lazily. he’ll kiss you softer, and try to talk in a sweeter tone.

y = yearning (how well do they cope when they’re separated from their s/o?)

he is fine being away from you as long as he knows that you're safe. like if you're at your house, with your family, he's fine with not being right beside you. after all, he does like having some time alone.

if you're at a party or other social event though, good luck tryna unglue him from your hip. it's just not happening.

z = zzz (what is a sleep habits of theirs?)

he sleeps completely naked, REFUSES to wear any clothes at all. no matter what.

“suddenly it wasn’t only a personal thing to me. i could picture hundreds and hundreds of boys living on the wrong sides of cities, boys with black eyes who jumped at their own shadows. hundreds of boys who maybe watched sunsets and looked at stars and ached for something better. i could see boys going down under street lights because they were mean and tough and hated the world, and it was too late to tell them that there was still good in it, and they wouldn’t believe you if you did. it was too vast a problem to be just a personal thing. there should be some help, someone should tell them before it was too late. someone should tell their side of the story, and maybe people would understand then and wouldn’t be so quick to judge a boy by the amount of hair oil he wore. it was important to me.”

Imagine being grabbed by the face like this by Al

that’s the reason why all the coquette girlies sitting in tumblr

When pony is in an “I hate myself” mood he says his eye color is green, when he’s in an egotistical mood he says they’re grey

Gray-green is for his normal mood

It’s how Darry and Soda do check ins

Can you do an outsiders y/n where the gang's (separate) partner has face piercing e.g lip or eyebrow

Summary: The Gang with Reader with a face piercing. Warnings: none Author's Note: piercing my helix by myself at home with conservative parents, do you think they'd notice or do i have till next summer. PONYBOY CURTIS thinks your septum is sick, he loves how it ties your whole look together and how you always pick one that represents you perfectly. He'll pick out his favorite jewelry for you to wear on specific days and he likes picking out an outfit to match. He would probably not get a piercing like you, he's a little afraid of needles and doesn't think that they would look as cool as they look on you as him. JOHNNY CADE was genuinely intimidated by people with face piercings, he thinks that it's pretty brave to stick a needle through a part of your face. He loves your eyebrow piercing, he thinks its super cute and it makes your eyes stand out more, which he thinks are beautiful. He always likes to pick up little jewelry that you might like when it reminds him of you. For your birthday he got you (along with other thoughtful gifts) a pretty little floral eyebrow piercing bar with your favorite flower on it. SODAPOP CURTIS has always wanted a piercing but was turned down by Darry. Plus he's a little hesitant to piercing himself because he too is scared of needles and 'messing up his perfect face'. He kind of lives through you and admires your jewelry. He likes to pick out jewelry that would match your outfit and his outfit for you to wear. STEVE RANDLE thinks your lip piercing is so sexy and he tells you that all the time. He likes getting you jewelry that you can experiment with, something that's unusual and not some basic lip ring. You can tell he put effort into each detail because he explains his thought process behind it all. He thinks your piercings are part of your personality and would be really sad if your took them out without a distinct reason. TWO BIT MATHEWS has always wanted to be heavily pierced, (secretly, his mom would freak), but he has such a bad fear of needles. If you are actively piercing your face, he will be there, but he wont watch. He's suprised at how little you said it hurt, but that wont stop him from being super afraid of needles still. He likes seeing what you choose as your jewelry, all he does is find you a bunch that you might like. DARRY CURTIS is, suprise suprise, more conservative. He isn't exactly turned off by the piercing, but it certainly is new to him. He thinks the piercing is cute and suits you, so much so that he starts to realise that he can't imagine you without it. He doesn't involve himself much in your personal attire, but if you ask him to buy a piece of jewelry for you, he most likely will. DALLAS WINSTON thinks the piercing makes you look hot. He doesn't try to show it and he's constantly (gently) touching it, just to see how it works. He's starting to convince himself that he needs a piercing or something but he's scared it wont look as good on him as it does on you. He likes it when you wear jewelry that matches his dog tag or rings he thinks its a subtle act of affection, which he is best at.
