Dally: Ponyboy has a point.

Ponyboy: Don't agree with me. It makes me uncomfortable.

[puermiles03]

I did a thing and Idk how to feel about it yet.

Ponyboy wakes up in a cold sweat, the bed empty of Sodapop. He was probably up late talking to Darry about bills they were trying to hide from Ponyboy. He rolls over to try and go back to sleep, but his heart is pounding in his ears like he'd just run a mile sprint. So instead he decides to get a drink of water. When he steps into the living room, the house feels darker and quieter than it has ever been; there are dark droplets on the walls and a metallic smell in the air.

Dally is hunched in the middle of the room, breathing heavy, deep breaths. He stands up slowly, uncurling to reveal he was taller than he normally seemed, taller even, by nearly a foot, than Darry. His dark hair now glowing a platinum blonde in the minimal moonlight coming through the broken door that hangs off the frame. He turns to look at Ponyboy like an owl, ice-blue eyes piercing through the darkness as his head twists around first, followed by his body that unravels until it faces Ponyboy.

Chills race up Ponyboy's arms, and his heart skips a beat at the unnaturally wide smile that splits Dally's face in half. He tilts his head and leans forward to observe Ponyboy with a distinctly satisfied hum.

"Dal?" Ponyboy whispers, dread creeping up from his stomach.

"Pony, did I wake you?" The voice is perfectly normal, a slightly New York-accented drawl coming from Dally, not at all what Ponyboy would've expected coming from this- this thing.

"What- what's goin'on?" Ponyboy's voice is barely audible to his own ears as adrenaline floods his senses. Dally's grin gets impossibly wider, his strangely pointed canines alongside even more canines where there should be molars, Ponyboy notes dreadfully.

"You are no longer grounded. We can be friends again." Dally's voice is tinged with laughter, like he was entertained much more than he'd ever sounded before.

"What'd you do?" Ponyboy can't keep his hands still as his gaze trails over the dark spots again, then down to the pool on the floor, then down to Dally's feet, next to the couch, where an arm was lying just visible around the corner. Bile rises in the back of Ponyboy's throat when he recognizes the friendship bracelet he'd given Sodapop years ago, the one he never took off-

"I made it so we can be friends again." Dally sounds so pleased, like a cat that's left a dead bird on his owner's doorstep, and Ponyboy is sick at the comparison.

"Ain't you happy? I did good."

[ambrosiustheunknown]

just read a PEAK dallyboy oneshot

fics like that are the reason I wake up in the morning (it was porn with plot and the plot was to build up to the porn)

[vellichorvibes]

Ok, But Like...

Is there anything worse than shipping a pairing set in the way back, but knowing they'd get down and nasty to some modern R&B???

I'm not sure...

[mountaindewfein]

I want Dallyboy headcanons pls >:D

Alright, Alright.

Dallyboy HCS

Hate it? Block me, don't come attack me.

Movies! They go together with Johnny.

Go out to dinner after Darry and Ponyboy fight.

Drawings! Ponyboy never knew that Dallas could draw until Ponyboy handed him it to try. They doodle on each other's arms.the

Dallas gives Ponyboy whatever clothes or items he doesn't want or can't wear anymore and Ponyboy gets so happy because he is obsessed with fashion.

Kisses are rare, only when alone because Dallas doesn't want to get beat by Darry. They aren't really into kisses.

Holding hands on the other hand, yes, Dallas is always holding hands.

Eye contact, Ponyboy can't look at Dallas's eyes so he's always looking down, Dallas can and urges Ponyboy to.

Cuddling isn't often, but Dallas lays with him after a long day.

They bicker, it isn't even fighting, just a few bad words and then they always end up looking at the moon.

Speaking of moon, Dallas started taking out Ponyboy to watch the moon, he explained that he did like sunrises and sunsets, but just couldn't look at them because his eyes are too sensitive.

Dallas's rings are given to Ponyboy during fights.

Switchblade are shared too, their initials carved into them faintly.

Dallas pranks Ponyboy all the time.

Ponyboy reads to Dallas.

Dallas gives spoilers for movies and books and Ponyboy screams to make him stop. (Dallas doesn't understand why)

Dallas replaced Curly's cigarette burn with own.

Cigarettes heh, they share them, they like to press the end of them together.

gossip, gossip, gossip, DALLAS ALWAYS ASKS PONYBOY FOR GOSSIP AND PONYBOY SPILLS THY TEA.

When they told the gang, only Johnny was surprised because he socks at seeing signs.

Darry gave a huge speech to Dallas, Sodapop just told him not to be an idiot.

Ponyboy cries so much, he's an emotional teen, and Dallas struggles to comfort him, usually just holds him and gets him a Pepsi. Ah mature difference.

Sodapop and Johnny always are pushing them together, making sure they see each other in days they are busy.

Johnny being their number one shipper and Sodapop is supportive.

(hc: Dallas is Steve's ex) Steve is happy for them but just gets jealous, Sodapop tries to distract him whenever they are around. Ponyboy feels crappy everyone, Dallas is indifferent about it.

Oooof, Two-Bit gives Dallas advice and Sodapop gives Ponyboy advice.

They play fight, and the gang is always scared it will escalate.

Ponyboy cries every time Dallas goes to jail.

Dallas once cried and Ponyboy got so scared he messed up bad but it was because Dallas hurt his arm bad,Ponyboy helped him to the hospital.

Think of them like a middleschool couple in a hallway, ugh they are too disgustingly-sweet about nicknames and Johnny internally cringes.

Darry has threatened to ground Ponyboy away from Dallas to make sure he does his homework.

Ahhh, pets, Ponyboy loves Dallas's cat, the cat is ONLY sweet to Pony, it attacks everyone except Pony. Johnny once got so scared of her.

Tim only shakes his head when he sees them.

Curly threatens to hurt Dallas when Ponyboy cries over him, Ponyboy always tells him not to. Dallas isn't the best partner at all, but does love Ponyboy.

Angela tells Ponyboy to dress in.. clothes.. when Ponyboy asks for advice about getting more attention and Dallas overheard and gaped, he was not interested in that, and neither was Ponyboy. Poor Pony had to remind her he's young.

Steve helps Ponyboy dress when he's getting ready for dates.

(Ship: Johnny & Angela) Double dates! The two ships go together for fun.

Dallas let's Ponyboy fix his hair, they are like CEO and Y/N bruh

Dances!! Dallas sneaks into Ponyboy's dances at school.

Carnivals. Holy. Almost every week. Dallas loves roller coasters, and the most intense ones and Ponyboy gulps every time.

Ponyboy has to kill spiders, Dally hates them so much, he'll scream and fling himself back like a cat.

alright I did a bunch.., I don't have much more ideas. Sorry for the wait!!

The leaves on the ground crunched and crumbled as Pony stepped on them. He walked down the sidewalk, through the gate, and a few more feet to reach a grave- two graves.

“Hey, Johnny, Hey, Dal.” Pony said, sitting with his legs criss crossed. He gently placed two small ice creams from Dairy Queen on the ground and a take away container of fries. “I finally finished my book. It’s about all of us greasers, and a couple of socs. Y’all ain’t here to read it for yourselves no more so I’ll read it to you- and yes Dal, it’s a bit lengthy.” He chuckled to himself. It was the type of thing he’d say when he read to them in the past.

“When I stepped out into the bright sunlight from the darkness of the movie house, I had only two things on my mind: Paul Newman and a ride home...”

rustyboy but following the timeline instead of just crossbook shipping. so rustyboy but with dalpony gap.

rusty james who constantly tries to live up to his brother, to bring the gangs back and that lifestyle back. who knows about dallas winston and johnny, and what ponyboy did back in 67. who looks up at ponyboy and sees a tuff greaser, someone to be inspired by, someone that he should imitate.

ponyboy who looks at rusty james and sees a young dallas, praying to god that he 'lets this one live', not take another from him when he is still healing from the last one. who takes dallys advice from the car to heart, yet can't help but pray that this boy stays naive and never has to go through what he went through, despite knowing that rusty is already far from the innocence he had at that age.
