Stay With Me (Dallas x Reader)
Ayo! That Darry oneshot was awesome! I was wondering if I could get a DallyxReader oneshot where the reader and dally are a couple, and the reader is really mature, and motherly so the gang teases dally and Darry the the reader should be with Darry instead of Dally. (Darry blushes alot cause he has a crush on reader) Dally gets upset and the reader comforts him and assures that she loves him? If you donāt want to write this itās perfectly fine since oneshots take forever to write. Thank you!!! Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā
make an imagine with dallas pleaseee!!!!!
Warning(s): Fluff, lots of angst, DALLAS CRIES, swearing, female!reader
You threw your head back in laughter, the back of your head grazing your boyfriendsā shoulder as your body shook with laughter. Dallas instinctively wrapped an arm around your waist to steady you, as he shook his head and a small smile playing on his lips. Two-Bit smiles cheekily as the group roars with laughter at his story, even Darry manages a smile at Twoās bashful story.
You wiggle your fingers that are laced with Dallyās playfully as he rests his chin on the top of your head. You comfortably slump into the curve of his body and your bring your intertwined hands up to your lips. You blush as you felt Ponyboyās watchful stare glance to you and your boyfriendās affectionate position on the stairs of the Curtis porch. You knew it was weird for the boys to see Dallas be affectionate, but you appreciated them not drawing so much attention to it.
You feel Dallas shift behind you and he slowly pulls his hands away from you. You frown at the cold absence of his hands and lean forward to allow him room to readjust himself. But instead of your boyfriends big hands pulling you back into his embrace, you felt the lack of his warmth as his tall frame stood up and towered over you. You look up at him curiously, only to see him pull out a lighter and consume the small space between you two with the smell of a gagging and familiar smell; tobacco. You sigh heavily as he side steps your form and makes his way across the lawn to go sit on the curb. You wave your hand through the air to rid the atmosphere of the thick and lingering smell.
As soon as Dallas was without earshot, the boys turn to you with eyes hungry for new gossip. You roll your eyes and run your hand down your face, annoyed with your boyfriend and annoyed with the questions you knew the boys were gonna have.
āHeās smoking again?ā
āI thought he stopped?ā
āWhen did he start on the smokes again, I thought he gave that up?ā
āHeās been good for months, what happened?ā
You wring your hands anxiously as you shrug. āI donāt know. Heās started doing a lot of things he said heād quit, lately.ā You were indirectly referencing how he had started up drinking again, after he had been clean for months. You shake your head sadly, and lick your lips. You believe in your boyfriend and you know you can help him stop, but sometimes Dallas just doesnāt want help. He was clean, for almost 7 months, and just randomly last week he had came home stone-cold drunk. He had slept the entire next day.
āAre you gonā talk to him ābout it,ā Steve asks. You throw your hands up in the air and shake your head.
āI donāt know what Iām gonna do. Do you know how hard it was for him to stop the first time? The first time throughĀ I threatened to leave him, told him I wouldnāt be with no man who smokes and drinks more than he loves his woman. Back then that was enough, but now, itās like he couldnāt care less if I packed my shit and left,ā you rant. You didnāt completely mean that. You know Dallas cares about you, but you also know that Dallas is selfish, and at the end of the day, Dallas will do, what Dallas wants to do. But at the end of your day, youāll love Dallas, but not a drunk one.
āIf Iām honest, completely honest, and I know how yāall girls love honesty for some reason,ā Two-Bit jokes. You crack a smile. āI thought that youād end up with a fella like Darry.ā
A couple of the boys hummed their agreements as your eyes widen and you let a small laugh escape your mouth. Two used to joke about that before you and Dallas had gotten together, but never has he ever, said it in front of Darry or when your boyfriend was less that 20 feet away. You look up to see Darryās usually composed face, engulfed in a very crimson blush. You look away before meeting his eyes and quickly try to extinguish that statement. It wasnāt that you didnāt like Darry, he was quite handsome, and once upon a time you did have a crush on him, but that was in the past and you were very happy with Dallas even if you did have your problems.
āThatās what I always thought, yāknow ācause sheās so motherly and naggy,ā Steve adds, winking at you.
āRight! She just acts like the mom around here, and we all know Darryās Mr. Dad āround here, itād just make more sense,ā Soda even contributes.
āYou guys would be a cute couple,ā Tim says. You furrow your eyebrows, when did Tim get here?
Ā You open your mouth to debunk all the talk about an opposing relationship, however, before you could put all the comments to rest, you heard a voice clear itself, and your heart skipped.
āYeah, I agree, they would be really damn cute together. In fact why donāt I just make it easier on you doll.ā
You shoot up to your feet, stumbling down the few steps of the porch. Steve catches you by your waist as you trip and you flash him a quick smile. You stand up properly only to catch Dallas reeve the engine to his car and take off down the road. You groan and run your hand through your hair. The boys are silent as you stand there for a couple seconds, soaking in what just happened.
āWe can take my truck and try and find him,ā Darry says, breaking the silence. You let out a sharp, amused laugh.
āI, uh, actually donāt think thatās a good idea,ā you counter. You knew you were being harsh, but harsh can be fixed. An out of control Dallas high on emotions, couldnāt be. You open your mouth to ask Steve to take you, but he seems to already have the same idea as he reeves his engine to his motorcycle. You cringe and chew on your bottom lip nervously as you slide on a helmet. Two-Bit catches your arm before you sling your leg over the bike.
āListen, I-Iām sorry,ā he mutters. You smile and pat his hand.
āDonāt worry ābout it Two, heāll be okay. Weāll be okay,ā you reassured him. You knew youād have to come back and show him that you two were okay, or else heād beat himself up for it, but right now you were worried about Dallas. You sling your leg over the bike and hold fast to Steveās waist.
āAlso,ā Two-Bit says, āJohnny says Dallas should be home, but if heās not then heās in town.ā
Johnny comes up beside Two-Bit, his eyes certain, āHeās not expecting you to come after him,ā he says simply. Johnny doesnāt blame you or anyone for Dallas being upset, thatās clear in his face, but you can tell by the urgency in his voice that he incredibly afraid for him.
āHe may smoke and drink and say dumb shit, but you keep him solid. You keep him together, witho-ā the rest of Johnnyās sentence is cut off by Steve roaring his engine impatiently. Johnny gets the hint and nods once before walking back to the group.
āHang on, ā you hear Steve yell. His voice is muffled by the helmet, but he doesnāt have to tell you twice. You clench your eyes shut and wrap your arms as tightly as you can around him. Youāre so caught up in trying not to fall off the damn bike that you donāt realize that you two have pulled into Dallasā driveway.
You stumble off the bike and brace yourself against Steveās shoulder as you steady yourself.Once you regain your balance you go flying up the porch stairs. The house is small and and poorly taken care of, so even though the door is locked, with a few jiggles of the doorknob it opens with ease. You walk through the door frame and scan the living room. You frown at his absence and continue through the house. You had been to Dallasās house many many many times, you even had clothes and pictures of you two scattered throughout the house.
You skipped the rest of the rooms and bound up the stairs to his room, only to find it empty. You were about to turn and leave before remembering a crucial part to the house; the backyard. It was the only part of the house that Dallas essentially cared about. You and Dallas deemed it your guysā āplaceā after spending countless nights out there. You make your way down the stairs and pull open the glass back door.
The sun is setting as you walk out onto the patio. Dallas is sitting on the swinging bench that you two had installed together almost a year ago. Heās bent over his knees with his palms in his eyes and fingers tangled in his hair. You feel a knot catch in your throat when you heard him sniffle. You hated seeing him cry, and you knew he wouldnāt come undone at something so small.
You slowly walk towards him and kneel on the ground in front of him. You slowly pull his hands away from his head and take his hands in yours. His palms are wet with tears and his bottom lip is swollen and red from where he was biting on it, a habit you realized months ago that he only did when he was nervous. He lets you take his chin in your hand and lift his head. His eyes are bloodshot and his hair is falling into his face. You bring his hands up to your lips and you kiss his red knuckles.
āWhereās your boyfriend? Donāt tell me he just dropped you off and left,ā he mutters.
āDallas Winston look at me,ā you say sternly. He looks up at you from under his eyelashes and it takes a minute for you to reboot yourself. You hated when he did that, his eyes were so beautiful and brown, it struck you dumb every time.
āI do not, and never have wished to be with Darry instead of you,ā you state. He rolls his eyes and tries to pull his jaw out of your grip.
āDallas. Baby please,ā you beg, tears pricking your eyes. Dallas turns back to your, his eyes searching your face. You never begged, and the desperation in your voice struck his heart. He never wanted to hear that tone in your voice again.
āI love you, and only you. I have never ever been happier with someone like I am every second that Iām with you. Even on the days that we fight, or the days where I wonder if weāll make it, those days are better in every way, that a perfect day with Darry. Dallas, we are different, there is no denying that, but I swear on everything that I have ever loved, you are the man I want to be with.ā
A new wave of tears hits Dallas and he turns his face from your hands and lets his hair fall into his eyes. You clutch his hand tighter, and try to catch his eye.
āItās not that I donā think thaā you love me,ā he mutters. You furrow your eyebrows, you open your mouth to ask him to elaborate but he continues anyway. He clears his throat.
āI jusā donā seeā¦why? Why are you with me? Why arenā you with a guy like Darry? What can I offaā you that he canāt,ā he asks, licking his bottom lip. You could tell this had been bothering him for a while, but you were confused at why this was just now coming up.
āDallas Winston do you love me?ā
Itās his turn to furrow his eyebrows out of confusion.
āWell yeah, what kinda questionās that,ā his tone is slightly offended, and if this had been different circumstances, you wouldāve laughed.
āThen youāve just answered all your questions. Why am I with you? Because I love you and you love me, and as long as that continues to stay true, that will never change. Why am I not with Darry? If I wanted safe and certain, then thatās whoād I be with. But thatās not what I want, and heās not the man I fell in love with. Heās not the one who can put up with me, on my worst and best days. Heās not the one who has loved me in the, you canāt possibly-,ā you start to choke up, and have to take a few deep breaths before you can continue.
āDallas you have loved me more passionately and unconditionally than I have ever hoped. You have are the thrill of my life that I have been waiting for. I donāt want safe, I want you. I want your recklessness, your impulsiveness, your anger, and your flaws. I want you, with all the good and bad that comes with it. And Iāll be damned before Darrel Curtis replaces you in my life,ā you rant. He cracks a smile at the end. You smile and place your forehead against his.
āWell doll, I never knew you were so nuts for me,ā he jokes. You chuckle and let your eyes flutter closed, happy to have your Dallas back.
āBut yāknow he really does have a thing for ya,ā he adds after a few moments of blissful silence.
āWho? Darry,ā you ask, peeling your eyes open to look at him. He hums heās confirmation and you roll your eyes.
āYou also had a thing for Cherry Valance, but howād that work out,ā you reply snarkily. He pulls his head back and rolls his neck.
āLet it go,ā he yells, exasperated. You giggle and stand up and slide onto the bench next to him. You lay your head against his shoulder and sigh contently as he intertwined your fingers together and kissed your forehead.
