The Way Things Go…

~Sodapop C x reader~

warnings: war, death, angst, etc.

────୨ৎ────

And there’s so much left to say, I guess I’m just the bigger guy

And there’s too much on my mind that I don’t even want to try

Guess it’s not far from the ordinary, they do say love is blind

But I guess that’s the way things go

You had your eye on Soda for a while now, always have and always will. But the worse part is he isn’t even yours. He’s Sandy’s. She’s pretty but it doesn’t make up for her personality. You’ve caught her talking to Tony during gym and you were itching to tell Soda when school ended. But of course she got to him first, he’d never belive you anyway. Sandy’s his girlfriend you aren’t.

But that changed when she got pregnant and moved to Florida in ‘65. You knew it was Tony’s baby but you didn’t have the heart to tell him that then or ever. Now you’ve gotten his attention that you’ve been longing for since high school. By now Soda would have already been engaged to Sandy since the class of ‘66 had graduated three years back. You wonder if Soda had ever had the same thoughts about you as he did with Sandy.

The record spun round and round as it played the soft hum of “I’ll be seeing you” by Jimmy Durante. Soda had his eyes on yours as you both swayed together to the slow, romantic song. You smiled softly as your arms wrapped around his neck.

“I love you, Pepsi-Cola.”

He grinned when you confessed to him the words you have many times before.

“I love you too..that’s why I gotta tell you somethin’.”

You raised your eyebrows at that. He seems happy..is he actually doing it? Is he proposing?

“I..got drafted. I’m gonna be fightin’ in Vietnam..”

You froze as he said that. Your whole world felt like it had crashed. You knew about the war going on, everyone did, but you didn’t think he would get drafted.

“Hey, hey. Don’t worry, everything will be ok. I’ll write to you everyday and it’ll be like I never left.”

You shook your head and you felt the tightness in your throat and the sting in your eyes.

“No, Soda. This isn’t alright! You can’t just tell me you’ve gotten drafted to war and say everything will be ok.”

He shook his head and cupped his hands around your face to make you look up at him. He was hurting as much as you were but you knew he’d never show it, he had to stay strong.

“Shh..I promise I’ll make it back to my girl. I love you, you know that I always keep my promises.”

He tried to smile at you but his chin quivered as your glossy eyes met his. You knew this draft would affect your relationship, but you’ll never know how until the day comes.

Can’t remember how to say your name

Let alone count all the freckles on your face

A distant memory that I used to know

Oh, I guess that’s just the way things go

The train station is crowded it’s like the whole town is here and you can’t help but wander how it’ll be like when it’s time to pick them up four years from now. You fiddle with your necklace around your neck as you watch Sodapop say goodbye to each of his buddies one by one. Your heart aches as you watch Soda’s face. He’s smiling but it never meets his eyes. His eyes aren’t bright like they usually are and you doubt they’ll ever be again.

You shift on your feet as Soda stands infront of you. He puts his duffel bag down on the ground next to him and he tilts his head as he looks at you. He’s already wearing his uniform.. military uniform. You feel like you’re going to break down right now and you belive Soda feels the same exact way.

“Soda, let’s just run away! Come on, let’s go now. Let’s just ditch this whole thing-”

He shook his head and cupped your face with one hand so he could wipe away any stray tears.

“We can’t. I can’t.”

The train horn blew once again and your stomach turned. You shake your head and the tears pool in your eyes.

“Soda, don’t leave. Don’t leave me please.”

You begged him to stay but all he could do was pull you into his arms and let you cry into his chest. Your hands clung to his body like it could keep him there with you until forever. He pulled back just a bit to see your face. He smiled and grabbed something out of his pocket.

“Hey…I got somethin’ for ya. I want you to have it so if you ever miss me you can wear it.”

He pulled out a ring box and he opened it. It’s a ring band..an engagement ring.

“Soda…”

He looked like he was going to break down but he kept his smile as he looked at you, the smile never meeting his eyes. He took the ring out of the small box and put it on your finger.

“When I get back we’ll get married. I’ll make it fancier than somethin’ like this train station. Promise.”

You looked down at the ring on your finger before tackling him into another hug. But that was cut short by the conductor blowing the horn and yelling for people to get on the train. Jerk.

“Don’t go!”

Soda quickly grabbed his duffle bag before running to the train. You stifled a laugh but the tears ran down your face. He got on the train and the gang stayed with you, of course they would. You all stared at the train but your head snapped when you heard your name from an open train window and a smiling Sodapop Curtis.

“Bring her up here, I never got to give a proper goodbye to my girl!”

You laughed and hurried over. The group helped you up and your lips connected with your lovely boyfriends. You wished this could have lasted forever but nothing good ever does.

“I love you to the moon and back.”

Soda grins against your lips before leaning back.

“I love you more than all the stars in the sky.”

The train horn whistles a final blow before it starts moving against the tracks. The boys hoist you down and Sodas head still sticks out the train window. He puts his arm out too which lead to him waving like crazy.

“I’ll write to ya’ll!! Keep a Coke in the icebox until I come back!”

Oh, I guess that’s just the way things go

Can’t remember when you said you called

Miles away and it’s still my fault

The love you said you had, it sometimes showed

Oh, I guess that’s the way things go

The letters flowed from week to week. You loved reading how Sodapop got along with all his new buddies and it made you smile. You read about how much he missed you, how he longed for these four years to be over so he could come back home and get married…

Three years and six months. That’s how long Soda has been in Vietnam and now you’ve got about a thousand letters in a huge box dedicated to him. But one day in June the letters just stopped. You waited and waited for just a letter. One letter is all you need but it never came.

You sat on the Curtis brothers porch in the hot weather of July. You fidgeted with the engagement ring on your finger. Your mind drifts off as you stare down at your ring. You imagine the life you are going to have with him but your dreams are cut off by six boots infront of you. Your eyebrows knit together in confusion.

“Soda?”

But when you lift your head up you’re met with three sorrowful soldiers. One soldier infront holding a military uniform with the name tag “Soda Curtis”.

He sure did keep his promise of coming back but not in the way you expected. The Coke that’s in the ice box will never be touched because that’s the very last thing Soda told the gang to do. You now have his military uniform and the shining band around your finger you vowed to never take off. You just wish he had something of yours so in his final moments he’d always have apart of you…

Oh, I guess that’s the way things go

There’s so much left to say, I guess I’m just the bigger guy

And there’s too much on my mind that I don’t even want to try

Guess it’s not far from the ordinary, they do say love is blind

But I guess that’s the way things go

You Don’t Own Me

D Winston x reader

warnings : Dallas Winston , toxic relationships , suggestiveness , alcohol , etc.

────୨ৎ────

You don’t own me

I’m not just one of your many toys

Dallas Winston is trouble. You’ve known that since you’ve heard about his juvenile record but also because he’s been screwing around town. Well you didn’t know the last part until a few days ago when you’ve heard Betty talking about your boyfriend when she was getting her hair done. Betty just went on and on about the girls Dallas had been screwing behind his “poor old girlfriend’s back”. Let’s just say..you left the salon with your blood boiling. But the best part of this was your so called “boyfriend” was parked outside waiting for you.

You huffed and swung the car door open before sitting down in the passenger seat and slamming the door closed. You crossed your arms over your chest and kept your eyes infront of you, not even wanting to look at the boy next to you.

Dal’s thick eyebrows furrowed and he narrowed his eyes at you.

“What’s up your ass today?”

You huffed out a laugh. Is he serious?

“My ass? What’re you putting up Sarah, Sasha and Sylvia’s ass?”

Dallas scoffed and threw his hands up like you’re crazy.

“What the fuck? You’re fucking crazy, man. You think I’m screwing around?”

“Uh..I don’t think, I know.”

He shook his head and glanced around the car not even wanting to look at you.

“Yeah, yeah. Keep talking bullshit, that’s all I hear from you.”

You scoffed and grabbed the door handle before opening the passenger side door to get out.

“Bullshit? Our whole relationship was bullshit and you know it. Have fun with std’s, asshole!”

You slammed the passenger door closed and walked away from Bucks T-Bird.

You don’t own me

Don’t say I can’t go with other boys

You’re upset about Dallas cheating on you and you went to one of your best friends, but also one of Dal’s buddies. Sodapop Curtis. You always got along with Soda but you also knew if Dallas saw you both together Dallas would want to die from insecurity. When you guys dated you knew Dallas had a huge ego but sometimes when Soda would come around it just seemingly faltered.

“Crazy ol’ Dal. I’m so sorry, he can be a real jerk sometimes.”

“Yeah..I know.”

Soda paused as he looked around the diner before he practically jumped with excitement.

“Hey! I almost forgot but there’s a big party tonight, we should totally go!”

You hesitated but slowly nodded your head. You can manage to have fun without Dallas. You don’t need a scumbag to control you the whole night. So with that you of course agreed.

Once you both finished your milkshakes you headed your separate ways. Soda went back to the DX and you were about to start walking down the cracked sidewalk to go head home. But someone happened to be in the way.

Dallas was leaned against the Diner wall smoking a cancer stick. You glanced away from him as quick as possible and tried to walk away but he must’ve seen you.

“Hey! What the hell?”

You didn’t want to look back but you made the mistake of meeting his narrowed eyes.

“What?”

“What’re you doing with Sodapop?”

You shrugged your shoulders and shifted uncomfortably.

“We were just talking. It’s none of your business, anyway.”

He furrowed his brows and scoffed.

“None of my business? I heard ya both. Going to a party together, slut.”

Your head snapped to meet his gaze and that made him smirk at you.

“So what? Soda is much of a better man than you’ll ever be.”

“Are you serious? Going to a party with Curtis instead of me? You’re making a mistake, Doll.”

“You’re a mistake, the biggest one I ever made.”

Don’t tell me what to do

Don’t tell me what to say

And please, when I go out with you

Don’t put me on display cause you don’t own me

Don’t tie me down cause I’ll never stay

The party is wild and the best decision is going with Soda. You had a couple of drinks and everyone here is drunk, except Soda. Your head is spinning and you feel ditzy. There are a few people from school here but you’ll never find a Soc here, it’s too disgusting for them.

You’re enjoying yourself in the burning ecstasy of the alcohol burning your throat. But your happiness is washed away when you’re met with those devilish eyes of Dallas. You scoffed out loud, not afraid to show your annoyance. He saunters over to you with a beer in hand. He reeks of rum and tobacco. Gross.

“Hey sweetheart.”

“Hi.”

He grins down at you and sways back and forth. He’s disgustingly drunk. He puts his hands on your hips, his thumbs rubbing circles into your hips. He leans his mouth close to your ear.

“God..you look so good tonight. We should go somewhere a little private.”

He slides his hand down your hip and to your upper thigh. You gasp and swat his hand away.

“What the fuck is wrong with you?”

“Come on, I’ll make it up to you. I’m sorry, Doll. Daddy will make you feel better in a few minutes if you stop being a brat.”

You shake your head and push him off yourself.

“Get off of me! I wish I’ve never laid eyes on you!”

You hurriedly left Dallas and went searching for Sodapop to take you home.

I don’t tell you what to say

I don’t tell you what to do

So just let me be myself that’s all I ask of you

It’s been a month since the party and you can’t help but feel so much happier without Dallas brining you down. You were so sick of being dragged down, being compared to his ex. You were so sick of being told you were never enough for someone who didn’t even deserve you! Everything seems brighter now and you can’t have it any other way. Now you can say “I survived Dallas Winston.”

I’m young, and I love to be young

I’m free, and I love to be free

To live my life the way I want

To say and do whatever I please

Outfits I’d wear in

~ The Outsiders ~

I’d wear this to the diner where you get the most delicious mint chip ice cream and strawberry milkshakes with my girlies. The shift dress is nice and movable for when the jukebox is playing the best of Lesly Gore and The Beach Boys. The sunglasses are for the hot weather in Tulsa and to push my hair out of my face. My hair would be perfectly curled and have a small beehive in the back since I would want the best hair in all of Tulsa.

I’d wear this on a windy Tulsa day as I visit the greaser gang. I’d talk to Ponyboy about the new movie I saw or help Darry clean up the kitchen. I’d try to subtly sneak glances at the juvenile greaser that is smoking so freely in everybody’s faces. My dress is light and airy so I won’t sweat as much as I try to beat the boys in a card game. My hair is put back so no one would try to mess it up..Two-bit.

I’d wear this to hang out in the lot or simply go to Bucks bar with the gang. I’d wear the jeans just to stay subtle and not bring attention that a preppy girly is with a bunch of greasers. I’d wear the heels to stay classy and to match my shirt. My hair would be softly curled but held back with a headband so when I’m dancing to the Stones my hair won’t get in my face.

I’d wear this on a rainy day in Tulsa. I’d make trips to the library or simply to the record store to check out the new Supremes album. The Gogo boots help with keeping my feet dry during the rainy day. The dress helps keep me warm and fashionable throughout my whereabouts through different stores. The hat helps my hair stay dry but also fashionable. My hair is put back so the wind won’t push my hair into my glossy lips.

I’d wear this to bed and subtly stay up late waiting for Dallas to sneak through my window. My record player will be on softly playing Sinatra as I flip through one of my many Vogue magazines. My hair would be pinned up in curlers before bed so in the morning my hair would be softly curled. My nightgown is soft and silky so when I go to sleep I’ll be comfortable and feel like a princess.

I don’t want him, I need him. I swear there isn’t any other man out there like Matt Dillon and that sickens me! I need to clone him rn…or a Time Machine.

so why wasn’t he on my doorstep on feb 14???

He’s literally adorbs!! Thank you sm!!💗 😭

Hii!! Congrats on 100 that’s such a huge milestone!! 💗 I would like to request…

Never let me go by Lana Del Rey

(Also one of my favs btw)

My aesthetic: So I love fashion and clothes sm! I always like to be dressed up and I love to wear the shabby chic style. I’m always wearing light colors, lace tanks, but I do sneak a little red in there too! My nails are always French tip, pink or red. I like to curl my hair most of the time but if I’m feeling lazy I’ll just straighten it.

Description: I have blonde hair that I get done. I have blue eyes and a circular face 😒. I have rosacea so my face always look red/pink. I have that short and curvey body type since I’m 5’0. But that’s ok since I learned to love myself! 💗

Personality: I’m very outgoing and I don’t care what people say/think about me. I’m confident and have the mindset of no one should mess with me. I’m probably the loudest person in the room but I do like to keep to myself a lot. I love meeting new people and making new friends. When I do first meet someone I like to make them feel they’ve known me for years even if I met them two seconds ago. I’m definitely a girls girl. I believe in girls bringing girls up instead of brining them down. I’ll always pick my girls over any boy any day.

Hobbies: I love to dance! I do competitive dancing and I also do Kickline! I love to draw and write. I also like to listen/collect vinyl and read books!

Extra: I’m obsessed with Marilyn Monroe. She’s been my muse since I was 5. I like to listen to Lana Del Rey, Rihanna, Madonna, Britney Spears, any oldies. My favorite colors are pink and red! 💗

Thank you sm!! Once again, congrats on 100!! 💕

soda would literally adore u bby
