The Outsiders Imagines/Headcannons

Bad hair day/ Ponyboy imagine

You yelped the moment your hair dye bottle slipped from your hands and fell onto the bathroom floor of the Curtis house. Luckily, nobody was in the house at the moment.
The bottle did not shatter, but the bottom cracked. The pink dye dropped rapidly onto the floor, you had to act fast.
"Uh-um-," You bit your lip, glancing around the bathroom for something to contain your pink hair dye.
In the trash was an empty shampoo bottle. Perfect. You quickly grabbed the empty bottle and flipped open the cap. From the ground, you took the broken dye bottle and started pouring what was left into the bottle.
You let out a heavy sigh of relief when your hair dye was saved and only a little had spilled. You heard the front door open.
"Y/N!" Darry called, "Food's here! Come get it before it's gone!"
"Coming!" You call back.
You hastily cleaned the small amount of dye with tissues and left the bathroom to go eat.
Everyone gathered in the kitchen, getting sandwiches from the fast food bag.
"Hey, babe." Pony yawned from behind you.
"Hi, Pony." You grinned and went up to him.
He was out since the sun was still down and had track so he was exhausted.
"How was track?" You ask.
"It was okay, just took the energy outta me." He yawned again.
You giggled at how cute his was and kissed him on the cheek. But when you took one whiff of him, your nose crinkled and your face contorted of disgust.
"You smell." You point out, "You need a shower."
"I think so too." He sighed tiredly.
Ponyboy headed to the bathroom carrying a fresh pair of comfy clothes. In the bathroom, he noticed the shower bottle on the top of the toilet lid. He blankly put it in the shower and hopped inside. Without noticing or realizing because of his mind wandering in thought and hazy from exhaustion, he poured the shower bottle on his head...

...Ten minutes later...

"AAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUH!!!!" Pony screamed from the bathroom. Clusters of crashes and the hair dryer blowing followed afterwards. Everyone immediately dropped everything and ran to the bathroom.
"Ponyboy Michael Curtis!" Darry demanded as he stood in front of the door, "What are you doing in there? Open up!"
After a few minutes of silence, the door finally opened slowly. The steam cleared way to see Pony in clothes, yet still wet from the shower. But his hair was now a messy puff ball, partially wet, and all neon pink.
Oh no. You thought.
He looked at everyone with shock and embarrassment as everyone stared back with their mouths wide open.
"BWUAHAHAHA!!!" Two burst out laughing as he fell to the ground.
Dally and Steve followed, rolling on the ground while clutching their stomachs and wheezing uncontrollably.
"Pony, y-your tuff hair!" Soda exclaimed, turning white as if it was the most horrific thing he had witnessed. Pony didn't say anything.
"Ponyboy, what did you do?" Darry sighed with mixed emotions.
"I-I was going to take a shower." Pony started to explain, "I saw the shampoo bottle and used it. Then I noticed after I dried and put on my clothes that my hair was all pink."
"How did you notice it after and not during?" Darry sighed again, running his fingers through his hair.
"I was tired, okay?!" Pony defended himself, "I started freaking out and thought I was dreaming. I looked inside the bottle and it was hair dye. And then I screamed."
"Well, it don't look that bad." Johnny examined Pony's hair.
"YOU LOOK LIKE A TROLL!" Two screamed through his laughs, raising more laughter from Dallas and Steve, "LOOK! LOOK! HE'S TURNING AS PINK AS HIS HAIR! OH EM JEEE HES ALL PINK!"
"STAUP IM GONNA PEE!" Steve guffawed.
"I ALREADY DID!" Dallas laughed, "YOU GONNA GET JUMPED EVERYDAY NOW, HORSEMAN!"
"I hate this." Pony whines. You feel sharp guilt hit through you but you were afraid to tell him.
"We can dye it back." Soda suggested.
"But that stuff damages hair!" Pony shook his head, "I don't want my hair to fall out!"
"We can shave it all off." Darry suggested.
"NO!" Pony immediately denied.
"Well, I guess you're stuck like this for a long time." Darry shrugged, starting to chuckle as he left.
Pony groans and was about to go back in the bathroom when you stopped him.
"Wait." You say.
"Say what you gotta say about my hair." Pony sighed, you felt another panic of guilt when you hear sadness in his voice.
"Um, about that." You nervously say, catching Pony's attention, "Uh, it was my fault."
Pony blinked and didn't say anything.
"Earlier, I broke a bottle of hair dye I was gonna use soon." You explain, "I put the liquid in an empty shampoo bottle. I forgot to hide it which caused you to lose your tuff hair, I'm so sorry."
Pony was silent for a moment then he looked up at you.
"No, it's my fault." Pony replied, "I didn't even notice, I should've paid more attention."
You smile slightly at Pony. You walked closer to him and twisted his fluffy, pink hair between your fingers.
"I'm sorry." You apologize again while giving him a smile.
"Y/N, to be honest..." He leaned in closer after searching to see if anyone was near, "I actually kinda like it."
"What?" You question, "But just minutes ago you hated it."
"Yeah, but it was the boys I was mad about." Pony confessed, "I'm sad that my tuff hair is gone, but it was my fault anyway. Doin' something new is good for a change. It actually looks pretty cool, hehe, it's like cotton candy."
His long hair was fluffy now because he hadn't greased it and his dried it quickly. He lightly touched it with his palm with interest and fascination.
"I love you so much, Pony!" You giggled at how cute his was and hugged him from behind.
"Same to you." He turned around and hugged you, "Wait, can you be matching with me with the rest of the pink dye?"
"Of course." You leaned up and kissed him.
You both suddenly hear snickering near the door and both of you turned to see Two-Bit snap a picture then ran for his life.
"No! Two!" Pony ran after him.
"You can't catch me Princess Cotton Candy!" Two screeched down the hall.
You didn't know whether it was bad or good that you spilled that bottle.
