How the gang would react to a introverted/shy s/o!
So sorry for taking so long to write this! But here are your guy’s headcanons @bluetackbaby @l-3-xxx (I wrote more for soda since one of you guys asked for it!)
Darry
Darry would probably appreciate how quiet you are since he has to take care of boys who don’t know how to be quiet for a second of their lives
He thinks it’s very adorable how shy you are
When he isn’t at work he’s probably always by your side
When he’s stressed your presence just somehow makes him calm? (Does that even make sense lol)
Ponyboy’s probably thankful for you because you always seem to calm him down whenever he’s mad
When Darry first introduced you to the rest of the gang you just hid behind him like a five year old child
They kinda already knew Darry wasn’t one to go for loud and wild girls
When you guys would go out to dinner sometimes, Darry would probably be one of those parents who makes their child order for themselves
“Go on, tell him what you want, I’m waiting”
He doesn’t mean to do this on purpose, he just really wants you to slowly come out of your shell
He ends up ordering for you
Sodapop
You guys are literal opposites
He’s just jumping around everywhere and telling you everything that happened that day. And I mean EVERYTHING
You just smile and nod, happily listening to him talk
You’re always there for him when he needs to talk about his problems, which he is always thankful for
Whenever you guys go out anywhere, you’ll have to hold his hand just to make sure he won’t get lost
Like I said, he’ll be talking your ear off while you just listen to him, glad that at least one of you are talking
He doesn’t really mind how quiet you are, he knows you care and that you’re just shy
Whenever you guys are in crowded places, you just hold onto him the whole entire time
He finds it cute
Whenever you want to say something to someone, you’ll just whisper it to Soda and he’ll say it to them with a wide smile on his face
“She says she’s doing good! Probably because she’s with me of course!”
You just look at him unimpressed
When you do speak around people he’s so proud
He overall just loves how quiet you are and finds you so cute!
Ponyboy
Ponyboy doesn’t mind how quiet you are but he sometimes tries to encourage you to speak your thoughts
When you guys are alone in the comfort of his room that’s probably when you’ll be speaking more
You guys will be just living comfortably in silence with one another
He reads to you most of the time as you just sit next to him and listen
He doesn’t mind how much of an introvert you are because he’s one himself
When you come to his track meets, he’ll probably look for you in the crowd and smile knowing how you’re silently rooting for him
You get pretty happy when he reads to you, probably because you don’t have to do much talking
“Hey y/n, do y’want me to read to you again? It’s fine if not, we can do something else”
You immediately nod and become very glad that you don’t have to talk for this activity
Johnny
You guys will both be quiet together, no questions asked
The gang probably teases you both for how you guys are so similar
You and Johnny are probably never spotted without the other
You guys are literally attached together by the hip
Even if you guys don’t talk much you both get each other
You’re always there for him whenever he’ having problems with his folks
He’s really grateful for you since you are like the only other person besides Ponyboy who understands him
You guys literally don’t need anyone else when you have each other
“Hey y/n, thanks for always listening to me whenever about my problems..”
You have to assure him it’s no problem
Steve
Bro this guy would be encouraging you to do some crazy things with him
He talks a lot but not on the same level as Soda
Whenever you guys are hanging out he’s just mostly talking about cars as you try and stay interested
When someone is talking to you, he’ll mostly answer them (unless you don’t want him to)
He’s happy to stay at home with you instead of going out
He’s probably around you most of the time when he isn’t at the DX
Is probably one of the loudest guys out there so the gang doesn’t really understand how you got with him
He thinks your shyness is cute
“I swear! Today I saw this super cool red mustang! It was so sleek and everything! Too bad a dirty Soc owned it..”
You would just nod along to whatever he’s saying
Two-Bit
At first he honestly thought how weird it was to be so quiet
The only other person he knew that was very much introverted and didn’t speak much was Johnny
So when he met you, you surprised him
He’s always trying to make you laugh and get out of your comfort zone
His mother always has to tell him not everyone is as outgoing as him
“I know ma! I’ll stop bothering y/n to get out of her comfort zone!”
He really does care for you even if he’s trying to make you do crazy things that make you want to hide in a hole
Like I said, he’s always trying to make you laugh no matter the circumstance
Dallas
Dallas wasn’t really used to being around girls that don’t really try and get out there
He honestly thinks it’s amusing how quiet you are
Even if you don’t talk much he’s glad to know that you’re willing to listen to whatever he’s ranting on about
He doesn’t really understand how you could be so quiet and shy but he loves you nonetheless
Whenever he forces you to go to parties at Buck’s he always makes sure you’re comfortable
“You alright doll? We can leave if ya want.”
He tries to act like he doesn’t care but you can sense it easily
The gang is happy there will be someone around to balance Dally out
Sorry if this isn't what you really wanted! I tried my best so again I'm sorry if it's bad! But thank you guys for requesting!
note: something i had wrote for the fall list that i never ended up posting cause i forgot hahaha whoops :)
13) Black Cat- Darry Curtis x reader
The house was silent with the exceptions of soft snores coming from the couch and bedrooms. I look down to the small bundle in my arms and smile. There’s no way I’m getting away with this. I move to the kitchen and open the fridge for some milk. I set the small bundle onto the countertop and I start to pour some milk into a small saucer. A light flickers on and I jump. “What are you doing?”
I turn to see my boyfriend standing in the hallway with his arms crossed. “Nothing! Just… getting some milk? What’re you doing Dare?” I smile innocently and try to advert the attention from the small, now moving, bundle on the counter by walking up to him and dramatically falling into his arms. Lets see how far this goes.
“Apparently watching you pour milk into a saucer that you were going to drink out of. What are you actually doing?” Darry looks down at me and raises a brow, suspicious.
“Yeah about that… I-” I’m cut off by high pitched meows coming from behind me. I nervously smile. “Yeah so I guess the cats out of the bag…” I laugh. “Quite literally…” I turn and grab the small black kitten out of the blankets and smile. “So you know how you said the only time we’d ever get a pet is if we found it on the side of the road? You’ll never believe were I found this little munchkin!” I watch as he blinks in surprise and frowns.
“C’mon Darry don’t give me that look! He’s just a baby! How could I leave him there?” I smile pleadingly at him and walk closer. “Here, hold him. He doesn’t bite or scratch.” I hand him the kitten and hold my breath. Surely he wouldn’t make me put him back… right?
I smile as he slowly looks up. “So we can keep him?”
11) Pumpkin spice- Darry Curtis x reader
Laughter rings out through the small kitchen as the two youngest Curtis brothers enter their home. The oldest of the two turns to his brother and smiles. There’s one one thing that can make Darrel Shaynne Curtis laugh like that and it was you. The boys round the corner to find you and their older baking a pumpkin pie and laughing. You had the pumpkin spice container in your hand and were threatening to pour it on your boyfriend if he didn’t put the whisk back. They watched as he laughed at your threats of spicing him.
When you make him laugh he looks at though there is no worry in the world. Watching him be with you always brought a smile to their face. They know that their brother is finally getting the love he deserves. They can trust you to care for him when things get tough and stressful for him or when he just needs some love. It truly will be a mystery to them how you can make him smile without seemingly trying but nonetheless they’re grateful.
They smile as you attempt to raise the spice above his head to prove your point but to just have the container taken from your hand. Darry waved it above your head, claiming to have the upper hand. They watched as you stopped and stared at their older brother, unamused and mumbling something about getting revenge. Their brother set the spice container down, away from your reach they might add, and smiled at you. They watched as you stuck your tongue out at him then put the uncooked pie into the oven and set the timer.
Sure y’all weren’t cooking the preferred chocolate cake but you sure knew how to make a pie. The way you could make a pie taste perfect and never burn the crust was always a mystery to the boys. They remember when Two-bit had refused to eat your chocolate pie claiming that the only chocolate thing he’ll eat would be chocolate cake but you had insisted that he at least try a bit and how could he refuse that. They remember how everyone pretended not to see him eat the remainder of the pie once you had turned your back to him. From then on you had hardly ever heard a complaint come from anyone’s mouth about your food.
They smiled to each other as everyone gathered around the table later that night, knowing that you had made one of your delicious pumpkin pies. It was almost impossible to get everyone to calm down and stop being rowdy around dinner time but as soon as they heard you were cooking it was never a problem. They watch as compliments are thrown your way and as you keep claiming that it wasn’t all you and that Darry had helped although they all know you truly did most of the cooking if not all but it was the thought that counted right?
