Heya! First off, I wanna say that I really really like your Outsiders posts! They're very well written! Some made me cry. Some made me laugh. Some made me 'awwww'. Anyways, now for the reason behind this ask. if you're still doing prompt requests and haven't done this combination already can you do Dallas and/or Johnny (separately) with with 1, 14, and 24? Make it angsty with a happy ending. Thank you!
Prompts: Thunderstorms, Look me in the eyes, Hold on a second…
Johnny felt trapped, it was as simple as that. The nearly rotted wooden walls and decaying stone floor had been all he had seen for nearly a week. It didn't matter that the worn in ceiling gave view to the currently dark grey cloud ridden sky. It didn't matter that the broken windows and missing pieces of wood let in the bone chilling, harsh wind into the abandoned church. The walls and floor that surrounded him still felt as entrapping, as suffocating as ever.
He could feel the floor rumble, followed by the sound of the rolling thunder. It crackled through the air harshly, awakening anything it could in it's tracks. The smell of petrichor wafted in strongly and before he knew it, small droplets of rain began to leak through the cracks on the ceiling. They hit his skin, evaporating almost as fast as they fell.
The wind picked up in an energy filled haze, the sky still as dark as ever. But it didn't last long, a bright flash of light illuminated the sky before thunder once again crash down boldly.
Looks like it's gonna be a strong one...
He wondered if it was like this back where you were... back, at home.
He knew what you'd be doing if it was, if he was there with you with too.
You two would be sitting on your porch, not doing anything in particular. Just merely watching the storm unfold, you'd flinch every now in then when the rain blew toward you. You'd be leaning your head against his shoulder, murmuring something random that had happened earlier that day.
He never thought much of those moments at the time. Not because they were boring or unimportant to him in anyway. But because he had grown use to them.
If he knew that he would've ended up here since the last storm you two watched together... he would've soaked in the experience a lot more.
Because in Johnny mind... he'd never be able to do that with you again.
Even if he did come back, he had convinced himself that you'd be livid with him. He left out of nowhere, leaving you in the dust without as much as a goodbye. And the reason why he left would make anyone's stomach twist in shock and fear.
He was sure you hated him at this point...
"Johnny!" Pony suddenly called out, Johnny had hardly felt the light push Pony did to get him out of his own thoughts.
It took him a second to realize that his nails were dug painfully into the palms of his hands. He winced as he opened them again, the small cuts stinging as they got exposed to the cold air.
Johnny already knew the question that he was about to be hit with. But he stopped it in it's tracks before Pony could compose himself long enough to get it out.
"I don't wanna talk about it, okay?"
He was met with nothing but a reluctant nod after that. The rain and almost constant thunder were the only sounds that could be heard after that.
"I said, I don't know where they are!" Dallas repeated for the thousandth time it seemed. His back was turned to you, pretending to be distracted by something in front of him as he spoke.
"And I don't believe you!" You replied strongly, not backing down from Dallas's ever-growing anger.
"It's the truth." Dallas said quickly, trying to seem calm and collected.
"Oh who the hell else would they go to about this?" You questioned with a scoff.
He shrugged his shoulder, not bothering to speak.
"Wait... I do know who they would go to, you!" You exclaimed.
Dallas let out of scoff, finally turning around to face you. "You're wasting your time Y/-"
"Dallas." You interjected heatedly. "I ain't Soda I'm not dropping this until you tell me the truth. So you decide, would you rather hear me talk your ear off all day or are you gonna start telling me the truth?"
Dallas shook his head, looking down at the ground as he did. "I- don't"
"Look me in the eyes and tell me." You interrupted. "And if your as smart as you seem you better not lie to me this time."
His eyes shot back up to you, blazing with a fire of anger. "Listen Y/N-" He stopped, hesitating to speak. "Son of a bitch." He hissed, kicked at a rock at the ground.
"So you are as smart as you seem huh?" You replied, your lips curving into a smile of satisfaction.
"Just get in the car already... smartass"
"How many hideouts do you have?" You asked as you stared at the old, desolate looking church.
"Lost count a while ago." Dallas replied, you could tell by the tone in his voice that he was proud of that fact.
And sure enough, when you turned your head to face him he was grinning wildly.
"Of course you did." You muttered humorously, eagerly getting out of the car as you spoke.
You couldn't help but wince at the state of the place, it didn't exactly look the most... liveable. You two made your way inside, it didn't look any better than the outside of it. You found them quickly, both of them sleep in the most stable church pews they could find. You quietly walked over to Johnny, not really sure if you wanted to wake him up right away or not.
"Glory…" Dallas muttered in a rough voice behind me. "He looks different with his hair like that." He added with a bit too loud of a laugh.
You looked over at him, giving him a stern look. "Dallas, keep it do-"
You couldn't even finish my sentence before you heard him...
"Y/N?!" He sat up, looking up at you in complete shock.
"Hey..." You replied, sitting down on the freed up space on the pew he was laying in just moments ago. "You've been pretty hard to find you know that right?"
He smiled just slightly before his lips frowned, his eyes down casting the bit of joy you saw before. "Didn't think you'd want to see me after what I did." He admitted darkly.
You didn't know what to say at first, your head turned toward Dallas and a now barely awake Pony. They looked at the both of you, wondering what you were going to say next.
"You and Pony mind if you wait outside for a bit?" I asked hopefully.
Dallas nodded before tugging on the jacket he had given Pony. "Yeah, we'll wait in the car."
"I'm takin' you guys out to eat alright? Quit askin' so many damn questions." Dallas muttered, basically dragging Pony out of the church.
"Wouldn't want to see you?" You repeated, giving Johnny an incredulous look. "Johnny, I know you... you wouldn't of done something like that if you didn't have to."
"The fuzz won't see it that way." Johnny replied, staring down at his hands. "They'll just see me as another hood causin' nothing but trouble."
"Maybe they will at first but, there's a trial planned for when you guys get back."
"Oh great-" Johnny said, his face filling with worry.
"No no no, hold on a second." You said quickly. "There was this red-haired girl I talked to... she said you met you at the drive-in that night. She's willing to testify for you guys."
He looked over at you curiously, his eyebrows furrowing slightly as he did so. "Wait she's willin' to help us out?"
"Yeah." You replied with a soft smile. "She said she'd tell the judge that they were drunk and looking for a fight. And that you just defending yourself...which you were."
"I-I don't know if I can go back." Johnny admitted reluctantly.
"You have a chance Johnny, a good one at that." You reassured him. "You can't run away forever."
He looked over at you, his eyes swimming in reluctance. "I know." He sighed out. "I know need to... I-I'll... I'll turn myself in."
You gave him a peck on the cheek, wanting to calm his nerves in some way. "Everything's going to work itself out Johnny."
"I sure hope so." He replied, letting out a stuttering breath.
"It will." You said, standing up as you spoke. "Come on, we should probably head out before Dally drives off without us." You added, holding a hand out for him to take.
He took it, standing up on unsteady legs. He still held onto my hand as we began to walk out of the old dingy church.
"Hey, Y/N/N?" He spoke up softly.
You looked over at him with a smile, giving his hand a gentle squeeze before muttering...
"I really missed you too..."
