Poly!Sodapop and Dallas x Scholarly!Reader Headcanons
A/N: So I have absolutely no idea what happened to this ask, but I know somebody asked for it at some point, so...here it is!
I have a feeling this is going to wind up being a little short, just cause it’s such a focused piece-
But fear not! I do have tons of ideas!
These two boys just scratch my brain in a way I never really considered until I did that first piece, but now, I really do enjoy just thinking about them, rotating them in my mind like personal little rotisserie chickens-
Anyways-
Back to the actual stuff you wanna hear about-
Sodapop’s a drop out and you really can’t argue about this, it’s literally canon canon, so ya know, that’s just that-
Boyo never finished highschool but he’s got a job and he brings home a paycheck to support his family so that’s all I have to say about that!
Dallas on the other hand…
Who am I kidding? Boy might as well be a drop out because realistically, he’s only like 17 and I can’t for the life of me imagine Dal sitting in classroom for more than five minutes
So yeah, you’ve pretty much got two drop out boyfriends but ya know, that’s alright-
With you though, you’re like the total opposite of these two guys, you’re way into your schoolwork and you get good grades for it!
I’d like to say that Sodapop and Dally aren’t going to have a negative impact on your grades…but…
At least, until you start figuring out how to balance the two boys and your schoolwork, things might slip a little-
But anyway!
They’re of no help on your homework
If the dropout information didn’t give it away, these boys aren’t quite the best at school, so if they’re sitting in on your study sessions, they’re just there for moral support
I’ve got this image of Dallas trying to read flashcards off to you like you asked, and you’re doing your best to answer but it’s real hard cause he comments on each and every card cause glory doll, I just don’t see why you need to know all this shit-
Sodapop has no qualms about roping in Ponyboy so that PB can try and explain a topic to Sodapop so Soda can impress you by understanding
If you don’t think that’s cute…
I don’t know what’s wrong with you
A lot of people really don’t understand what’s going on between the three of you, especially when y’all are so different, but the differences is what makes it work
Soda’s got such a blunt way of putting things that sometimes his creative ways of thinking help you grasp concepts you’re struggling with
Dally’s party-loving ways make sure you don’t spend all your best years with your nose buried in a book-
He’s gonna make sure you get some partying into your system whether you think you need it or not
They’re both notorious for crashing your studying times, especially if you told them you wanted some quiet, alone time to study
Sodapop may come bearing snacks as a bribe, but really they’re both hoping you’ll let them hang around for a while so they can ultimately convince you that hey, you didn’t want to study, you wanted to make out with them for a while
Dallas is guilty of joking about the best study method being the one where he gets to reward your right answers with kisses and ya know…for your sake and happiness…I say ya oughta let him do it-
:D
Anywhos…..
They both love to celebrate your academic achievements and will always offer to take you out after you get a test back or some kind of good grade because they think you really are amazing with all your grades
Sometimes, they don’t feel smart enough for you, they think that they’re holding you back from doing better things, but then you’ll look at them, give them that little smile, maybe even a kiss on their cheeks, and they’ll realize you’re the smartest one out of the three of you
If you’re sticking around, that must be the right answer
<3
