kid what?

Oh it’s the trio I missed so much

What happened this time

Be patient my comment section will be open soon :')

(inspired by @obliqueletterkennyreference 's post!!)

Physical affection heavy for some reason idk

Pony is aroace, but very physically affectionate with Johnny

Sometimes he's affectionate like that with Dallas too, but it's different. Usually it's more play-wrestling or light shoving

With Johnny its usually leaning on him or resting his foot against his.

Dally doesn't like hand-holding. At all. He likes having his hands free, in case he needs to hold a cigarette and throw a punch at the same time.

Which is probably a good thing, he doesn't wash his hands very often, or very well.

Pony likes holding Johnny's hand, but not usually palm-to-palm if that makes sense??? Like always holding pinkies or specific fingers or resting one hand on top of the other.

Not a phobia like Dally, Pony just likes unconventional hand-holding more.

Johnny's pretty indifferent about it. At first it made him uncomfortable, because he's not used to affectionate physical contact, but now he sort of craves it.

After a long day his favorite thing is to meet Pony at the lot and just have their arms around each other, smoking, and looking up at the stars.

It's kind of rare when Dallas initiates any physical affection other than play-fighting or wrestling, but once or twice he's thrown his arm over Johnny's or Pony's shoulders while walking somewhere or sitting together.

Johnny loves it. With how much he looks up to Dallas, he sees it as a sign of approval when Dallas outwardly is affectionate to him

Pony doesn't mind it either, he feels protected and accepted when Dally goes out of his way to do things like that.

Altogether, none of them have really craved that next step into full-blown exclusive relationship for their own reasons. Not that their relationships are transactional or anything, but they just.. like eachother, yunno? Just love and enjoy the company and dw about the specifics.

None of them are big on PDA

sometimes, much like a cat, Dallas will steal things that remind him of Pony and Johnny

friendship bracelets.

not the handmade ones though, Dallas stole three really cool bracelets that look literally nothing alike and gave two to Johnny and Pony.

like literally one is a metal chain with like a charm, one is leather chord, and one is string with beads

so random but actually fits them well

Since Dally doesn't grease his hair, sometimes Johnny or Pony will play with it, when they're alone and Dallas lets them

Dallas doesn't give either of them his necklace or ring in this one, because they never crossed that threshold into romance.

its okay though, neither of them asked for the jewels either.

its like a silent mutual agreement that they'll stay best friends and closely linked.

Once Dally grew his hair out long enough for Pony to French braid it

Don't ask where he learned how to do that, I have no idea.

Ponyboy: How would I know?

Dally: How would you not?!

Ponyboy: Who am I, Karl Landsteiner, discoverer of blood groups?

Dallas loves tussling Ponyboy’s hair, not quite playing with it, but messing with it enough to get a little glare from Pony.

Dallas randomly stops by the school to pick Johnny and Pony up and get them to ditch with him, usually to DQ’s or some diner. 

It pisses Darry off.

Pony will sometimes sketch Dallas and Johnny cuddling after they’ve fallen asleep. 

The gang doesn’t know, as per Dallas’ request, but if it were just Pony and Johnny they would have come out to the gang by now.

They don’t mind keeping it secret, having this special little thing between them that no one else gets to see.

Johnny wears Dally’s st christopher, but always hides it under his shirt. 

Dallas always makes up a story about ‘some broad’ when anyone asks him why his necklace is missing, but he ends up lowkey describing either Johnny or Ponyboy each time (for example “nah she’s got this big doe eyes, like a sad puppy’ or ‘she loves reading. Crazy, man.’)

Dallas HATES reading, and doesn’t understand why his boyfriends love it, but he actually secretly likes when either of them read to him. 

Dallas will lift books for them. One time Two-Bit caught him and now teases him for it. 

They each have a little heart on one of their shoes with the other two’s initials on it. Poyboy wrote each of them, since he has the best handwriting. 

Ponyboy gets to wear Dallas’ ring, but similar to Johnny, he wears it on a chain around his neck and hides it under his shirt. 

They sometimes go to the lot together, all three of them, and at first Pony was afraid he’d be irritated by Dallas breaking the silence every two seconds, but he actually doesn’t mind it. Sure it’s not the same as him and Johnny sitting there together quietly, but he actually kind of likes it this way. 

Dallas doesn’t understand why his boyfriends like the quiet so much, but he tries to respect it. He can’t help it though if he wants to crack a few jokes or mess with Pony’s hair or give Johnny a light shove every now and then. He’s pretty restless, but they haven’t reprimanded him or anything for being obnoxious yet. 

Not only did Dallas reluctantly agree to join them and watch sunsets, but he actually secretly started liking them

One time Dallas caught himself watching a sunset alone and got really sad bc neither of his partners were there to see it. He thought the sunset was wasted on him bc his boyfriends would’ve liked it more than he does. 

Dallas still drives and lives recklessly, but he’s a bit more careful now. He’ll catch a glimpse of the heart on his shoe or his ringless finger and remember he has something to live for now. Two somethings. 

Pony and Dally hang out one-on-one the least out of the three of them. Sometimes Johnny tries to get them to bond, and they do, but they like it a lot better with him there too. 

Pony and Dally really only bond one-on-one when talking about Johnny and having a cigarette.

Pony grows to actually like how unconventionally attractive Dallas is. He’s unique to draw. 

Pony writes down all (if any) stories Dallas shares about his time in New York. Usually all he gets is small remarks and basically table-scraps worth of stories, but he’s always trying to urge more information. He thinks it’s fascinating. Like they’ll be talking about something and Dallas will go “oh yeah I remember military camp” and Johnny and Pony will just stare like 0-0

Dallas still flirts in public with girls, but never gets further than that usually. There have been a few times however, where he’s been unfaithful to Pony and Johnny, as to be expected. He’s slept with other people, kissed other people, etc. 

Johnny is more upset about it than he lets on, and if Pony weren’t there, he would have just accepted it and moved on.

Pony was the one to push the “are we exclusive?” conversation, which led to Dallas getting frustrated and storming out

He wasn’t really mad at them, more mad at himself for not realizing that they wanted to be exclusive. 

They broke up for a while, but eventually Johnny managed to pull them back together.

Johnny’s kind of the mediator in the relationship. He’s their glue. 

Every time Dally fucks up or Pony gets frustrated, he’s there seeing both sides.

Sometimes he feels trapped in the middle
