#johnny case

Darry hates cooking. A lot. That rule where the first one awake makes breakfast? He skips it after a while because “the food’ll get cold when you wake up”. It also allows him to get away with not eating to save money. (I think this one kind of contradicts canon but he gives me that vibe icl)

Instead of “Horseshit” they say “Ponyshit”, much to Ponyboy’s dismay.

Two-Bit’s got a collection of flasks, but uses the same one everyday, unless he has to wash it but doesn’t feel like it.

Darry and Two-Bit always joke about Two-Bit getting a job and being in the wrong house because he’s always over.

Everyone assumes Darry’s name is spelled ‘Dairy’ if they met Soda or Pony first.

Dally gets called Texas sometimes. He absolutely hates it and always starts a fight.

Johnny loves cats. Loves them. He just bonds will all cats.

Curly, in a moment of stupidity, tried to eat the cigarette when Tim caught him and Pony playing chicken and now has a burn on the side of his mouth

Steve’s got a car part shrine (they don’t call it that though. It’s a meticulously organized collection of car parts that Steve is always adding to and loving). He could build a mismatched car with all the parts and still have enough to consider it as much

Steve’s the best driver so in the months following the crash, they made him drive everywhere.

Darry’s always been a greaser, always will be, but he’ll never be as proud as all his brothers. Ever. He’ll never grow his hair and grease it back and steal from stores and smoke until his lungs are black and drink until he blacks out. No. He’ll always be stuck in a stasis between the two worlds: the one he was born into, and the one he was destined for. He’ll be old and gray but he’ll always wonder what he could’ve been had he been born a soc, and the guilt gnaws at him

Johnny got new converse for his 16th birthday. Not one, but two pairs because Johnny loves his converse

Dally swipes gift for Johnny and sometimes Pony “Idk it looked funny so I nabbed it but it’s making me want to gouge my eyes out so take it”

When they’re in a tough spot, Darry sends Two-Bit to the grocery store with the list and asks him to grab a few items. He doesn’t hand him enough money, and Two-Bit sure doesn’t have any, but Two-Bit always comes back with more than asked Darry hopes Soda and Pony never find out.

Soda and Pony love musicals. So does Two-Bit, but more for the sights than the sounds if you catch my drift. So when one bursts out in song the other two follow and do a 3 man show. If the mood is right, all of them will join in.

Dally only gets a funeral because Johnny does and as always, wherever Johnny goes, Dally follows

This is my first ever post but I wanted to do something. I wrote it as if he wrote it in his journal. No smut just fluff.Not proof read. Did get the idea from another writer but made a different story out of it.Also I forgot what gas station Soda worked at but I think it's right.

I walked into my homeroom class a few weeks ago. Most of my classmate were gathered around the board. Apparently we had a group project and we had to get paired with someone random. I looked for my name which one was right next to readers.

I didn't have a problem with her. She was quiet and didn't really talk to anyone. Her hair was always done down her back and curls that looked soft. I sat next to her at a desk. The teacher explained what we were gonna be doing today. After she got done we started explaining our parts.

“I can do the research and find what books to use if you like.” She said in that voice that always made my heart skip a beat.“Yeah sure, and I'll write down the research.”

We didn't get it all done in class so we went to my house. I knew she was a greaser too and when talking about who house to go to she seemed skittish. Probably didn't have a good home life like Johnny. We walked in a comfortable silence but at one point she got me a pepsi from a vending machine.

When we got to my house I opened the door for her and she went in. Her dress twirling while she did. God was she pretty. As soon as she got in Soda was talking off her ear about how I never bring guest over. Is he trying to make her never come back? “Ponyboy, that you?” Darry called from the kitchen. He was only home because that roof job he had for a client got cancelled. I walked into the kitchen. “Darry, I have a project-” “I want you in the kitchen.” “I need stuff in my bedroom.” “Bring it out here.” “What if the gang come in?” After some convincing Darry let me got to the bedroom. “Keep that door open and don't smoke, especially not in the house.” “She's a greaser too she'll understand.” “Does she smoke?” “Well no.” “Then don't smoke.”

I went back to the living room. Sodapop was talking while reader was sitting on the couch. “So yeah, you must be special if Ponyboy brought you over.” she rose an eyebrow. “How nice,” she said it in a voice that I couldn't tell if she meant it or was being sarcastic. “Soda, stop talking her ear off.” I took her to my room. Per Darry request I kept the door open.

She had renewed some books from the school library and was looking through them. Now I wished that I got the reading part because I'm a fast reader. She was fast too but not as fast as me. “Oh! Right here!” She pointed to a section and I wrote it down. “Thanks,”

After some time we stopped working. We had gotten everything down but one thing. Then of course the gang had to come in and be loud. “Does this happen often?” She asked, she was laying down, her legs up in the air and kicking back and forth. “Um yeah, when the gang just feels like it basically. Does weird stuff happen to you like this?” She stopped kicking her feet then continued. “Yeah, sometimes. Don't wanna talk about it.” To pass time because I knew she didn't wanna come home I read her gone with the wind like I had gone with Johnny. Darry had came back and gave me and her a sandwich. I had finished mine but she's a slow eater. After she got done eating and was just listening to me read she fell asleep leaning against me. I didn't say anything and just went back to reading but not out loud. Yes, I was flustered by it but I wasn't gonna move a girl.

I heard Darry yelling at the boys. “You guys knock off all that hollering! Ponyboy has a classmate over and I don't need her thinking we're a bunch of animals.” He said it sternly so I guess it wasn't technically yelling. “An girl?” Steve said crackling. Glory I always hated that boy. “Is it that girl I saw him with in the hallways?” I heard Two-bit hollering as he came running down the hallway. Then he stopped right in the door way, still laughing. “Stop it! You're gonna wake her up!” I yelled at him but I don't think he caught onto the fact she was asleep despite me saying it. “Ponyboy has a girlfriend!” She shifted some as him, Steve, and Dally were poking fun at me. I covered her some with the blankets and wrapped a arm around her. “You're waking her up!” I whispered yelled. Darry ushered them down the hallway and back to the living room. “Sorry, reader.” He apologized and that's when I realized she was awake now. “It's fine,” she was still tired and I could tell.

Darry let her stay for dinner. “Thank you, Darrel.” She said as she took a bite from her toast. “It's no problem, kid.” Darry also let her stay the night. One.) Greaser don't fight Soc girls but Soc fight Greaser girls. Two.) Yes, we could just walk her home but even Darry saw that she was reluctant to go home. Darry called her dad and told him that she was staying the night not like he cared though. “You can sleep in my room. I'm sure Soda won't mind sleeping on the couch.” “No, you and Soda have the bed. Reader will the couch. I'm sorry reader but it's to avoid conflict.” “It's fine,”

I got her set up on the couch after Soda and Darry went to their room. “Thank you for everything, Pony.” She said as she leaned against me again. “It's no problem, really.” “No, I mean thank you.” I leaned in close to her face. “I mean it's no problem.” I leaned in closer and we kissed. After that we became official. We kissed a few more times before I heard Soda laugh from behind me and he immediately told Darry who said that a new rule is that I can't be alone with her.

Oh God how I love dating that girl. I snuck her to the drive in one time and we kissed a lot but of course Dally and Johnny had to be there. Another time I was holding her books in the hallway at school and Two-bit was making fun of me because I did anything she asked. She wasn't mean when she asked, she just asked me to carry her stuff sometimes. Then one time she bought me a pepsi from DX not knowing that Steve worked there and he told her some pretty embarrassing stuff about me. Like my short blonde hair even though I'm pretty sure she had saw that. Then the one time that scared me the most was when I was in my bedroom with her on my lap. We weren't doing anything inappropriate I swear, I was just reading. But Darry came in and when he saw that the door was closed and she was on my lap, oh glory he yelled so much. Not at her since no one in the gang did. Despite all of that I still love dating that girl.

Of course you didn't bring up the fact that me and Darry caught you guys making out on the couch in your little journal -Soda

“so wha’s that mean?” johnny asked, confused on how to isolate x.

you and johnny had been studying for a big algebra test coming up, he needed a little help and you didn’t mind. plus, who wouldn’t wanna spend time with their boyfriend and get their work done?

so there you both were, sat next to each other at your kitchen table with two worksheets and johnny’s beat up math notebook in front of you.

“‘means you gotta do the same thing on both sides. here, watch me.” you told him, taking a second to make up an equation and jot it down on your paper.

“why’s math gotta be like this..?” johnny mumbled, crossing his arms and still not getting it, despite you demonstrating for him.

“it’s stupid, yeah, but if you wanna pass this class, you gotta do it. them’s the rules.” you shrugged, setting the pencil down as you thought of more ways you could help johnny.

it was like a lightbulb went off in your head when you looked at johnny, his eyes glued to the floor as he zoned out before you placed a quick kiss on his cheek and pulled away as fast as you left it.

his eyes darted up to you, a cheesy grin on your face as you laughed a tiny bit. “what was’at for?” he asked, hand grazing against his cheek where your lips had met.

“a quick peek of what you’ll get for a reward if you focus better?” you tilted your head, hoping you didn’t startle him too bad.

suddenly, johnny’s eyes flickered over the worksheet and your notes attempting to connect the two for more kisses.

you just had him wrapped around your finger, didn’t you?
